into two groups, $4,000 to the first
ten finishers with $4,000 to the win
ner and S1,400 to the car finishing
in tenth place. Ten thousand dollars
was to be divided as a consolation
prize among the non-finishers-not
more than 81 900 to the driver COM
pleting the highest number of laps
and not less than $500 to the driver
completing the fewest.
The competition was war be-
tween front wheel drive and con-
ventional drive cars, with a two
cycle motor attracting attention
from the experts. Dave Lewis and
Earl Cooper in Miller front drives
were two of the favorites in the
race at the start.
A two-cycle motor from the shop
of Fred Duesenberg, driven by Ben
Jones, made its debut. 1t develops
two power impulses at given mo-
tor speed, whereas one was devel-
oped before, and it eliminates valve
spring and other difficulties Of high
speed motors.
1t is the newest development in
speed since the perfection of the
super-charSers sent fuel flying into
smaller displacement motors to de-
velop additional power for more
rapid speed.
This was the inaugural race for
motors Of 911a cubic inches piston
displacement. The 122-inch motor
was used in 1928 for the first time
and was the standard for three
years. Before that it was 1S3-inch,
300-inch, 45Oinch and way back in
1911 and 1912, 600-inch.
Various FavOrites
Fans picked various favorites Sat
the start. Perhaps Cooper was the
choice of most, while Hartz, Duray,
Lewis and Hill looked good to many.
The "Duesies" were an unknown
quantity, having qualified only Sun
day. Pete De Paolo had many root
ers, along with Bob McDonogh, Mil
tons protege. Phil Shafer also was
more than a possibility to see the
checkered flag first.

 Causes of illness

Sleeping sickness, known in med ical circles as lethargica encephal- its, Is an acute infection probably due to specific virus.
 The specific nature of the cause of this disease however is still in doubt. It is thought that the organism which causes sleeping sickness prob ably finds entrance to the body through the nose and throat and like infantilo paralysis it has spe- cial affinity for the nervous system, particularly the brain.
 Sleeping sickness in most in sances comes on gradually with a headache, dizziness, disturbance of vision, changes in speech, difficulty in swallowing, weakness, low fever and sometimes a peculiar mask like expression of the face and a state of lethargy. There is practically al ways nerve involvement which may result in facia! paralysis and para lysis of one or more of the eXtremi- ties. In many of these cases there is more or less muscular stiffness.
 The dicae Is slow in development and long in duration. The period of conValescence is variable. In some cases recovery is completed within two weeks after the acute symptoms subside. In other cases. however the disease is prolonged and leave: its record on the mind, on certain muscles and on the nerves of the cranium. It would appear, however that the mental troubles usually thought not necessarily. pass of eventually.
 Outbreaks of sleeping sicknes: have frequently appeared after epi denies of influenza. Some investi gators hold that sleeping sickness i really due 10 an attack of influenzs that has invaded the central nervous system of the body.
