HENRY FORD.
TO BUY SHIPS
OF US. BOARD
Automobile Manufacturer To
Use Some Vessels on
Great Lakes
WOULD SCRAP OTHERS
Matter Of Sale of Boats
Will Not Be Cleared
Up For Months

Washington, u. c., May l4.-It was
announced today by the shipping
board that Henry Ford will buy 400
ships, said several members Of the
board, although they were not fnlly
informed as to the details.
Most of these ships will be used in
commerce, and the rest will be
scrapped. Shipping board men and
owners are interested in the pro-
position. They assume that Mr.. Ford
will use the ships for Great Lakes
traffic. The price presents the pro-
blem.
T. V. O'Connor, chairman of the
shipping board, is quoted as asking
Ford to take over 200 ships in his
original suggestion. However. when
Ford informed him that he would
only buy the ships to scrap them for
junk, O'Connor suggested that he
buy all 400, as it would not cost
much more to contruct dismantling
apparatus to handle the 400 ships
than it would the lesser number.
Ford agreed to this, saying that he
might retain from 10 to 80 Of the
ships for use by Ford industries. If
any ships were put in operation by
Ford, they would be reconditioned
and equipped as oil burners, the
article states.
Despite the tentative agreement
the matter of the sale Of the ships ia
Ford will not be cleared up for sew.
eral months, it is estimated. The
shipping board has been wary OF
making any agreement heretofore, as
it felt if the ships were sold abroad
to be scrapped, that promise nigh,
be broken and the ships might re.
| appear under foreign flags in compe.
tition with American ships.

day made a special appeal to motorists.
pedestrians and children to make
every effort to keep down the death
toll at this time of the year,
Mr. Eldridge said there are several
reasons why numerous accidents oc-
cur in July, including the fact that
more motorists go out on long
Journeys and that thousands of school
children are free to romp and play
on the street,
The traffic director expressed the
belief that motorists driving into the
country at this time of the year do
not always realize how fast they are
going as they return to the city limits.
He emphasized the point, however,
that the responsibility Of making the
streets safer does not rest entirely

DATA EXAGGERATED
Health Officer Fowler Sees
Need, However, of
WatchfuIneSs.

Health Officer William c. Fowler
announced today that his inspectors,
in examining the files of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, found that
agents of that department had in
spected 80 establishments in Wash
ington in connection with the recent
report dealing with insanitary condi-
ditions in the handling of meats here
and in other cities.
After studying the information
which he said his inspectors found, DR.
Fowler stated that while he realized
there are conditions in Washington
needing attention an all times. he did
not believe the data his inspectors OBJ
tanned justified the statement made in
the Department of Agriculture report
with regard to inSanitary conditions
in the District
DIR. Fowler said the Department OF
Agriculture inspected IA places that
were in one group in a business To-
cality and that the complaint in these
cases dealt with absence of refriger-
ated cases for the display of meat and
the lack of adequate facilities to pro
tect the foodStuffs from dust and in.
SectS.
The inspectors found. DR.. Fowler
said. that lS other stores were visited
by the Department of Agriculture in
various parts of the city on which
| the reports were divided as follows
Eleven good, one fair, four poor and
two very poor.
Dr. Fowler stated that there was
some justification in certain cases
and that his inspectors are constantly
on the lookout for any situation need
ing correction in the handling of food
stuffs. He pointed out that there are
at least 1.400 stores in Washington
handling foodstuffs. DIR. Fowler also
stated that the inspections reported
by the Department of Agriculture
were made about year ago.

Whlrling around an oval board
track at speeds which at times reach
$50 miles an hour. 16 daredevils of
motordom are to take their lives in
hand this afternoon as they struggle
against time and the speed of other
racing motors for prizes totaling more
than $4,000.
Speed is thrilling. The brushes for
place between the drivers offer an oc-
casional thrill. as they race madly
around the turns. their machines
clinging like flies to wall, careening
over an angle of As degrees. only the
physical phenomena of centrifugal
force and their great speed holding
them TO the track. Lacking speed
they would crash down to the bottom
Of the enclosure in a mass of torn
and twisted metal.
After a bit. however, the mere thrill
of speed will become monotonous to
the spectator. sitting in a grandstand
of new pine boards under baking
hot sun, without shelter of any sort
over his head. Then he will begin to
look for troubIe-accidents of the sort
that thrill for an instant-an instant
in which the life of one or more of the
racing daredevils may be snuffed out.
For, according to those in the racing
game, the crowd psychology demands
more than the monotonous circling Of
the board track, even more than the
occasional spurts of speed as the
drivers fight for place.

human nature seeking the thrill that

death wins-as witness the tragic
ends of Joy Boyer, Pario Resta and
others who have laid down their lives
on the altar OF speed. And the crowd
demands more and more speed, in the
chance that something like that which
happened TO Boyer and Resta may
happen today at Laurel.
More than any other thing these
drivers fear a blowout-for when a
front tire blows superhuman skill

wheels. Leon Duray blew one at In
dianapolis a few weeks ago. His car
turned completely around three times.
Fortunately for him and for the rest
far back of him--he didn't skid and
turn over. 1t he had. he would prob
ably have been killed and other ma
chimes might have crashed into him.
Jerry Wonderlich blew a front tire at
Altoona year ago. crashing through
the lower guard rail into the en-
closure on the same track where Joe
Boyer met death.
They picked Jerry up after he ard
his car had turned over five times.
His face was turning blue and his

11.-Pete de Paolo, winner of the
Fresno, indianapolis and Altoona
races this year and the favorite in
today's race from a popular view
point, took no chances with the
broiling sun. He carried an umbrella
above his head and he watched his
mechanicians putting the final touches
to the engine on which his fate In
the race depended. De Paolo wore
white duck trousers and sailors
hat. He looked more like a man on
his way to picnic than a speed
maniac preparing to gamble with
death.
The acrid fumes of burning gas
shot out of red-hot, unmuff1ed ex-
hausts soon drenched the sultry at
mosphere in the grandstand. 1t had
the odor of oil on hot metal.
Concessionaires appeared to be
reaping a harvest of silver. Hordes
of youths swarmed over the stands
and dispensed cooling drinks and lean
sandwiches to the painting spectators.
The vendors of colored eyeglasses
must have made a neat fortune. They
quickly disposed of large stocks of
variety for the small sum of ST. To
the sun-blinded fans they were well
worth the money.
More than a score of newspa per
men lined the press box. at the very
edge of the track, long before starting
time. The constant clicking of tele-
graph Instruments blended with the
hum of the motors, as the public was
being told of the events taking place
out on the Speedway.
Inside the monster bowl were hun.
dreds of private passenger cars, whose
owners preferred a cushioned seat at
