Then he hurried down Kentucky

had not been there. He went through

best to shield his anxiety, cl0aking his
queries under the cover of cursOry re-

~ Jimmy Murphy, new idol Of the
speedways, refuses to take all credit
for winning the 1922 motor classic
at Indianapolis. Instead. he insists
that Harry A. Miller. who made the
car that carried him to victory. be
given equal praise for the great tri-
.umph.
Murphy stayed in Indianapolis a
couple of days after the race and

coast, where he will race it at San

Tree Branches Are
Hard on Auto Tops

This is the time of the year when
motorists should be exceptionally
careful of their auto tops when they
journey into the country" said Hal
Heiner of the Ceilings Vehicle and
Harness company. Many auto own
ers, after carrying a load of picnick-
ers into the country do not exercise
proper care in putting up their cars
for the day. This results frequently
in their tearing holes in their tops
when they park their machines under
protruding, Jagged limbs and heavy
branches of trees.
