PLAN KANSAS CITY SPEEDWAY.
Start Construction of One and One
Fourth-AIiIe Track in April.

Kansas City, Mo. April 15.-The
wave of the starters flag, the roar of
the eXhausts of powerful motors. the
maneuvering for the inside position,
and the cheers of thousands of motor
racing followers encouraging their
favorite speed king-such is the dream
of E. E Peake, secretary and man
ager of the Kansas City Speedway as
ISOLATION
Construction of the speedway will
be started in April, Mr.. Peake an
nounced. Building of the track will
be superintendent by John S. Prince,
Los Angeles speedway builder.
The speedway will be erected on a
track of one hundred and ninety-two
acres, south of the city 1t will be one
and one-fourth miles in circumference,
and built of by inch boards laid
on edge. It is to be patterned largely
after the Beverly Hills track near
Los Angeles The straight-a-Ways
will be leveled and the turns banked
at an angle of forty-five degrees. Mr..
Peake said. He added that the track
is expected to prove one of the fastest
in the country; that an average speed
of 40 miles an hour can be attained.
According to the plans, two grand
stands. facing the straight-a-ways will
be built, with a seating capacity of
twenty-five thousand to thirty thou
sand spectators. The in-field will be
designed so that several thousand
automobiles can be driven in, thus en-
larging the total capacity to about
sixty thousand.

One of the latest converts to the
wrestling game, which has been so
popular in Topeka this winter and
spring, is Gov. Henry JIAllen.
One of the most interested specta-
tors at the Binck,ey-Gandavich and
the Eustac obar double bill at the
city auditorium this week, was the
governor and a party of Topeka
friends. Every move made by the
mat artists was witnessed by the Kan
sas governor and each time he ap-
plauded his favorite.
Another thing that is noted in re-
gard to the wrestling game in Topeka
is the increase in attendance by the
ladies. In most instances they are
just as much interested as their male
escorts, and they display just as much
interest and enthusiasm for their
favorites.
Wrestling in Topeka has been Of - q
highest class, and each match brings
out an additional number OF fans wIO
are interested in the mat sport

lace Reid, moving picture actor, who
recently filed his entry in the animal
5OO-mile automobile race to be held
at the Indianapolis motor speedway
May 80, will drive car No. 13, it was
said here today.
Twelve drivers entered the race
ahead of Reid and as has been done
for several years, T. E. Myers. man
ager of the speedway, planned to
eliminate the number 13. Reid, how
ever, insisted that he be given the
number and the speedway official
consented. Mr.. Myers said a car bear
ing No. g had not started in the con-
test since 1913.
Reid is due to arrive in 1ndianap
oils on May to begin training for the
race. He already has been granted a
drivers license by the American Al
tomobile association. under whose
rules the Indianapolis race is con-
Quoted. The only other requisite for
competing in the local race is ability
to drive a racing car to the satisfac-
ton of the speedway officials.
The executive of a motion picture
concern for which Reid has been act
ing has declared, it is said, that he
will not permit the actor to compete
in the race if it is "humanly possible

to have asserted he intends to go thru

Wood block printing and engraving
is all the rage in the art at present,
many prominent artists have taken it
up and are producing beautiful and
original effects. Wood block printing
is simply old fashioned wood engraV-

seen possibilities in the wood block
that the old time engravers did not
