SOLDERING

For any ordinary job wire solder is the easiest to handle and the most con- venient. It can be placed right on the spot to be mended and it melts under comparatively slight heat. In solder ing anything it should be vigorously cleaned before the actual work is be- gun. The temperature of the whole job should be raised to the desired point, after which it is easy to run a whole seam with a single movement of the iron. In making a repair the spot desired to be treated should be brought to the proper temperature for melting the solder. It is best to have the job so placed that the molten solder will not run to the other parts of the mechanism, but will lie right in the spot where it is needed.

BARNEY OLDAELD TELLS OF BIG RACES
 AT INDIANAPOLIS

Thrty-two cars, the largest field in several years, is the entry list for the tenth annual 500-mile Internation- al Sweepstakes at Indianapolis May 30, according to word received by F. B. Farrow of the Highway Garage, local representative of the Oldfield Tire Company, from Barney Oldfield president of the company. This is seven more cars than were entered in the classic a year ago, Barney points out, and it shows clearly that the in- terest in these races is' increasing.
 "It is a splendid thing for the in- dustry that this is the case" Barney writes, "for there is no better demon stration of mechanical and tire stam- ina than the gruelling tests the speed ways afford, and the many years spent on the track have been invalua- ble to me as manufacturer of tires. ''
 An interesting feature Barney re- ports is that for the first time at the Indianapolis classic two "flivvers' have been entered. These cars are re- built Fords, the engines having under gone changes by another light car manufacturer who has entered them under the name of "Fronty Fords." A novel idea in connection with these two cars is that they will be connected with the pits by wireless, enabling the drivers to communicate with their helpers while at full speed on the track.
 Up to the present four foreign en- tries have been recorded, these in cluding a London engineer, who is bringing a new English car that has yet to make it's bow to motordom.
 As in nearly every important sweep stakes at Indianapolis, the 1922 race will have it's millionaire, this year that standard being carried by the youth full son of a well-known car manu- facturer. He will drive the car with which Tommy Milton won the purse in 1921, coming within .22 of a second of equaling the track average of 89.- A miles an hour hung up by De Palma in 1915 with a much larger engine.
 -Four of the nine former winners are to compete this year." says Bar ney, "for the lions share of the $1OO,- 900 aggregate purse, of which the track offers $5O,O00 and I know we are going to see some great perform ances. Oldfield Tires will play an inn portant part for these speed demons. Oldfield castings have been built from the fruit of my own racing experience. They won for Jimmy Murphy in Paris when he captured the Grand Prix, and they are continuing in their remark able performances. take special pride in the fact, too, that these same tires may be seen on an increasing number of automobiles every day"
