Unclean Fingers
Cannot Win Race,
Says Speed King

ANY driver starting a race with
dirty finger nails cannot win H."
said Andre BoiIIot French race
driver. His English is q bit
broken. but he mas a style Of ex-
preston that is calculating as well
as amusing.
Boillot entered the racing game
when but 10 years old. because he
took a fancy TO il watching his
brother. His brother. Georges
Boillot, who died a hero OF the
late WORLD war. was one Of the
greatest automobile race drivers Of
all time. and Andre is rapidly fol-
lowing in his footsteps.
In the largo Florio in Italy in
1919, he faced death no less than
six times over the treacherous road
course, and just as he was about TO
thunder across the finish line a
winner he skidded. turned his car
completely around. took out a sec
ton of the grand stand. ana
backed his car under the wire for
victory. Il entertain much fear
before every race" says Boillot.
but once / am into the competition
all fear is forgotten"
He used to like De Indianapolis
course best of. all. he said, and
when asked why he changed his
opinion of the Hoosier oval he re-
luctantly remarked in an under
tone, TITS too dry now" In for
mer days BoiIlot was wont 10 have
bottle OF Vim Blanc with his
meals, but alas! he must drink
water now.
Farming is his hobby on the race
course, and fishing his fsvorite
sport, but the rich young French
man frankly admits that he pre-
fers to be lazy" rather than engage
in any permanent business pursuit.
Because his sisters always re-
ceived large boxes OF chocolates
from their admirers. Boillot's sole
ambition when a boy was TO be a
girl. But there is nothing femi-
nine about Andre. who made a name
for himself in the French air serv-
ice and was cited numerous times
for his bravery in the air. but as
he says, The war is over, and I
won't talk about it,"
His family objects to racing. and
when asked II he would start
racing IL he were a youth again,
he replied. NO fear" and then
added that he intends TO give Up
racing at the end of next year.
Boillot is always a center Of at
traction at the Speedway and has
made friends in Indianapolis and
clsewhere.-A. A. n.

Who owns. and where Is the old
est automobile of standard Ameri-
can make still in running condi-
ton?
That's what the management of
the National Automobile Shows in
Grand Central Palace, January z
to II, and the Coliseum. Chicago,
January % to February 4. wants to
from persons who believe they are
entitled to the honor of such own
ership.
The purpose of the show man.
agement is to give the public a
chance to compare the car and
equipment furnished in the earlier
days with the wonderful devices
and appliances that are standard
now: in other words. to show the
value the purchaser is getting now
as contrasted with the pioneer days
Most of the cars at the first auto
mobile show in 1900. and for several
years afteTward. were known as
"one-lungers," because they were
driven by a singlecylinder gasoline
engine. Two passengers was usu-
ally the limit carried. The equip
ment was practically nil.
Just imagine how the zone lung
or" of nearly two decades agv
would compare with the modern,
fully equipped car. In the old days
there were no closed bodies; not
even a windshield protected the
occupants; no self-starter, speed
ometers were unknown, demount-
able rims were unheard of, in fact
no one even carried a spare tire;
mirrors, recording devices, bump
ers. safety signals, shock absorbers,
lighting batteries and clocks had
not even been thought of. Even
the steering wheel of today was
unknown. In fact, one ADVERTISE
ment of a car as late as 1904 said
the price included tenders, lamps,
tools and a horn" Such generos-
ity.

URGES NUMBERING
SYSTEM FOR ALL
MOTOR VEHICLES
First Step Thief Takes
Is to Change Cars
Identity.
UNIQUE METHOD
Would Place Identification
Numbers Near Top of
Crankcase.
UNIQUE METHOD

The first step which the automo-
bile thief generally takes in chang
ing the identity OF a stolen automo-
bile is to change the engine number
so that the engine cannot be identi-
fled. Realizing the need for a
method of numbering engines which
would make it extremely difficult
for thieves to change engine num-
bers. the engine manufacturers'
standards committee Of the Society
of Automotive Engineers has recon-
mended adopting the following
method of numbering engines as be-
ing the simplest, most effective and
practical system for numbering en-
gines which has been devised for
protecting automobiles against
theft.
The engine Identification number
shall be placed near the top of the
right-hand side Of the crankcase
proper in a position in which il can
be read easily. The surface of the
casting between the ribs shall be
left rough as cast and implanted
even on the finished car.
stamped in the casting I-32 inch
deep and shall be . inch high and
of script form. The first digit shall
be stamped close to the left-hand
rib and the last digit shall be fol-
lowed by large star or other
character to prevent adding digits.
\ star or other character shall be
stamped Immediately above and be-
low each number to prevent adding
another number. The numbers shall
be stamped twice on each casting to
prevent correcting any errors made
In stamping either number.
n IA per cent reduction in theft
insurance premiums will result il
this method OF numbering engines
is approved for future passenger
car models
Among several suggestions which
were received as means for pre-
venting engine numbers from be
ing changed were casting a pad of
special alloy steel in the engine
crankcase on which the engine
numbers might be stamped. casting
numbers of an Opaque material in a
cylinder block in such a way that
N-ray photographs would show the
numbers and casting on a small TIM
brass plate with edges crimped
down Is inch and knurled so as to
anchor the edges securely in the
crankcase, the number being
stamped on the brass plate in the
usual way.
The recommendation will be voted
on by the engineers of practically
all the engine and automobile manu-
facturers at the annual standards
meeting of the Society of Automo-
tive Engineers in New York at the
Engineers Building. on Thirty ninth
street west of Fifth avenue, on
January 10.

This Solution Should
Clean Battery Plates

The following solution Is recon-
mended for cleaning battery plates
that have become somewhat sui
phated: Half a pound of ammon-
ium acetate in a quart of water. The
plates are removed from the battery
case and immersed in the solution,
which must be hot. and are left
therein for half an hour. In some
cases II may require a longer treat
ment to remove the sulphate. After
their bath the plates should be

Stops the Skid.

Among claims made for the
"skidless" tire chain. the latest ad-
dition to motor protection against
slippery streets, are elimination of
side skidding and easy installa-
ton. The nonskid features con-
sist of staggered steel points ar
ranged in rows to give traction and
prevent side slipping, and a pat
ented lock which takes up slack in
the chain at all times.

The Effect on fabrication.

:. It is a well-known fact that water
has considerable lubricating qualities

designs the condensation of steam
within the cylinders is relied upon to
Intricate the cylinder. Water, no

fabrication by its own action and by
reducing the tendency Of the oil to

A half a dozen amendments were
offered by individual senators which
served to increase the amount of
money set aside for the department
of agriculture. Among the principal
changes made by the senate were in
creases of 100000 to the million dol

Flood Drives $500
From Homes Along
Mississippi River

NEW ORLEANS, ApTil 13.-With
a present stage of oil, a rise of
.02 in the last twelve hours, and a
stage of 215 to % feet predicted
between April 20 and %, the Mis-
sissippi river here has reached one
of the highest stages on record, ac-
cording to the local weather bureau.
DIR. I. M. Cline, local forecaster, is
confident that the levees in this
section will be able to withstand
the unusual pressure caused by the
flood waters and believes residents
here have nothing to fear from the
river.
Fifteen feet of water stands in
some of the streets of Melwood, Ark,
and three-foot waves course along
the main thoroughfare, according to
advices from the flooded town. All
of the lowland in the twenty-five
mile stretch between the Mississippi
and White rivers is under water and
the Missouri Pacific has suspended
service in the district. It is esti-
mated that $500 refugees have left
for Helena, Ark.
Reports from Natchez, Miss, say
that more than 1000 refugees have
arrived there from flooded lowlands
of Arkansas.
