Those steady-nerved, -visioned
drivers have stepped into their spare
ly-built racing automobiles at the
starting line. The engines are run
ming. The signal to start is given.
They're off, now speeding. now merely
driving, now racing madly down the
course. score of flying streaks,
they go hurtling around the track,
which rumbles beneath them.
For two grueling hours those
speed demons of the motor course
drive, drive, drive. There are mo-
ments of tenseness as driver crawls
up on driver, passes him. and spurts
ahead, with the occasional unforeseen
spectacle of misfortune when victory
seemed just ahead. and, perhaps, with
the hand of death reaching into that
line of shrieking motors as one lea ps
from the track to place another name
on the list of martyrs TO the sport
of sports.
Then the last stretch. Every spark
Of determination and every drop Of
sporting blood in the veins of those
heroes of the track; every vestige of
power left in those tiny, superpower-
full, speeding cars is strained to the
limit. The race is over. Another
victor has been acclaimed by the
thousands who have witnessed the
race of century.
That in short is thumb nail
| sketch of every big automobile race
that has ever been run. Such a
spectacle is promised lovers of this
sport of keenest thrills when the
kings Of speed unleash their mounts
on the new Washington Speedway,

Use of Heater" Is Urged.

If your car is equipped with
heater, use 1t as much as possible.
In cutting out the muff1er you save
clogging this unit with carbon and
you eliminate a little back pressure

Some of the mounds, especially
those along the Tugaloo river, are so
large that they cover approximately
three acres and are about 100 feet
high.
Following an examination of several
of the mounds, Andrew Todd Of this

in the Pacific in 1921, there is a chap
ter of naval history on which the Navy
department is able to throw but little
light.
Outstanding among the unaccounted-
for craft in modern days is the naval
collier Cyclops, concerning which there
is maze Of fanciful theory, but no
official fact.
During wide stretch of years, from
the Civil war period to nearly the
World way era, naval annals are de-
void of entries concerning lost ships.

ginning of the present century. how
ever, in spite of the much-vaunted
safety to be found in modern appara-
tus of communication Many of the
lost ships were last heard of in the vi

recovery.

Athelstan's Whiskers
Busy British Admirers

Malmesburg, Wiltshire, England
The authorities of this city have set
themselves the task of ascertaining the
color and cut of the whiskers worn by
old King Athelstan, who died in 925.
They have looked through ancient
books studied statues and pored over
archives, but up to the present time
with no success. They are not dis
couraged. however, and the search is
still going on.
A fund has been subscribed for the
erection Of stainedglass portrait to
ling Athelstan in the town hall. 1t
seems Athelstan drove out the Danes
1000 years ago and the people of
Malmesburg want to commemorate
his act. Hence they want to know
what he looked like, in order that his
portrait might do him honor.
