H. What car and driver will win the INDIANAPOLIS race
is a question now occupying first place in the minds of
thousands of employees at the automobile factories of the
country
For the last two years this grueling 500 mile grind
has gone to eight cylinder cars, and, according to R. X.
Jack, chief engineer of the Odds Motor Works, Lansing.
Mich, who is the designer of the Cadillac motor and one
OF the country's recognized authorities on eight cylinder
engines, May 3oth will probably see another triumph for
this type of engineering.
This year the officials of the race have cut the dis
placement of all cars to 1872 cubic inches. This means.
Mr.. Jack says, that the motor will be smaller than anv
now used by automobile manufacturers. To hope to win.
the driver will have to be able to make a maximum speed
OF at least 125 miles an hour and the cars will have to he
built so that they will stand up to this speed.
Mr.. Jack, himself the designer of a light eight engine.
believes that the eight-cylinder principle will again win this
year because there is no doubt but this type of engine
Will stand the most gruelling grind a car can be put
through. In the skies and four cylinder models, MI. Jack
says, any unbalance because of the larger cylinder bores
tends to create a heavier period of vibration than in the
smaller bore Fights. Mr.. Jacks contentious seem to have
been borne out in last years race where nine out of the
first ten cars to finish were eight cylinder cars.

The Romans built great aque-

vast expense, in order to create
good water supply for their CAPT

water-borne diseases and were
actuated largely by aesthetics con-
siderations. They enjoyed bath

were unconscious of such things
as the germs of typhoid, fever and
cholera. Thus they established
better health conditions without

Lora sighed and concluded.
But since she echoed what so
many men and women write me,
am going to tell you what I said
to Lora the day she told me she
had ceased to expect anything of

The day you really stop expect

Does that sound romantic or
radical? 1t Is neither. It is merely
true. And truth is one Of the
things about which most Of us
don't know any too much.
Love is not only the life-force-
1t Is actually your work, your
friends, your existence-is your
motive power, your faith in the.
world and your incentive to go on.
Love cannot disappoint us. For
love is generous, creative force

achievement.
Why, then, do so many people
talk about being disappointed in
love?" What do they really mean
when they let this signing SEN

WHAT DOES LOVEMEAN

is true, no matter how much you
want to fight it and deny it.
You ask love to make you
happy, to content YOU to satisfy,
to stimulate, to thrill and to en-
thrall. But how can it, when you
do nothing to stimulate it in turn?
In demanding your rights you
deny your right to love. For love
is giving. ..... '.-.. .
When you love, you do not think
of self, of your own satisfaction,
Of what is due you. When you
truly love, you yearn to be so fine
and loyal and worthy and sweet

in your heart and will know that
it has found an abiding place with
you. $500. ......

offers its best proudly.
And the best love has to offer
is understanding and generosity
and brave courage.
When you think you are disil-
lusioned with love, you may be
disappointed in someone who was
never worthy to call up a big emo
ton in your heart: you may be bit
ter against yourself for the selfish
demands which made it impossible
for love to stay with you. But
love is still there-like the sunlight

He found the deserter seated
on the floor with half a dozen
children, grouped around her.
She was telling them a story. It
was the story OF boy and girl
who had rowed out in a boat TO
a small island to fish. When it
was time to return, they found
that the boat had drifted away
and they had to remain all might.
She told how fine and brave the
boy was and how he cared for
and soothed the frightened little
girl. How he put his coat around
her and held her all night in his
arms, and didn't go to sleep for
fear something would happen to
her. She told it with great deal
of feeling and Barton fell under
the spell of the story as wei as
