warmth for those who had been

the first lap.
Ray Ksach was second and
Cliff Woodbury. was third.
The leader made 10 miles
an hour.
The world s swiftest array
of motor race cars burst into
the song of speed at 10 o clock
this morning as they pulled
away from the starting line at
the indianapolis Motor Speed
way on the first lap of the sew
enteenth renewal of the 500
mile gasoline derby.
At three minutes of 10 the signal
was given for the starting of motors
and the Man O. Wars, zevs, Reign
Counts and Clyde Van Dusens Of
the motor race track cut loose with
a deafening roar in answer to the
cheers that came cut Of the packed
stands as the speed pilots clambered
into their seats.
At exactly 10 o'clock the pacemak-
ing car started slowly down the
home stretch toward the south turn,
followed by the tllirty-three start
ing contenders for the gold and
glory that will come to the victor
of the classic event.
$4,000 First Prize
The victor of the race will receive
the Speedway's $4,000 first prize
Each one of the ten first fnishers is
rewarded for his toll and daring at
the steering wheel.
At $50 a. M, speedway officials
estimated attendance at $4,000,
breaking all attendance records.
Newspaper men, usually skeptical Of
the official estimate" were inclined
to believe that the attendance rec
ord actually is being broken this
year.
Fifteen minutes after the first
announcement the speedway issued
another official estimate, hosting the
attendance to 10000, about 10000
greater than ever before.
The official lineup of thirty three,
determined in qualification trials,
was announced Wednesday, but an
unfortunate accident at the eleventh
hour robbed Phil Pardee Of his
chance to start in the race. Pardee
qualified Alden Sampon's Miller
rear-drive, No. A, on Tuesday after
the veterans, Ralph De Palma and
Dave Evans, both had given up their
places at the wheel.
Pardee, an unknown Coast lad,
qualified the mount at a ll1-nlIe
an hour clip. Pardee's car skidded
slightly on the northwest curve late
Wednesday in a practice lap and the
Miller caroned into the retaining
wall.
Pardee escaped with minor bruises
and slight cuts, but the car was
damaged badly and was unable to
start this morning. AS a result t1e
youthful Bill Lindau Of Pittsburgh
was able to start his Pittsburgh Mil
Ter in the event.

The speedway gates opened at $50
this morning to permit long lines OF
thrill-seeking fans to mill their way

COOLIDGE SCHOOL
APPEAL SPRA|SED
Taft Among Prominent Per-
sons Who Have Commend
ed Northampton Fund.

Chief Justice Taft of the United
States Supreme Court is one OF many
prominent persons who have recently
commended the Coolidge fund for the
Clarke School for the Deaf, at North
ampton, Mass. Expressions of interest
in the fund are daily coming into head
quarters here at 729 Fifteenth street,
according to those in charge of the
funds collection.
These Endorsements are being turned
over to Mrs. Coolidge so that she may
take them with her into private life
March as evidence of the responsive
chord In the popular imagination struck
by the appeal for handicapped group,
which she and President Coolidge are
sponsoring. This is the school In which
Mrs. Coolidge was a teacher before her
marriage.
1T is an unselfish and gracious act"
said Chief Justice Taft, with which
the Coolidge administration is being
terminated and will be long remem-
bered. To those who have contact, even
remote, with the disastrous effect of
increasing deafness upon the spirits
and personalities of its victims, fund
which will make possible a study of
this atfiiction makes strong appeal.
Mrs. Coolidge has succeeded, by her
gracious personal contacts and by her
example, III making the whole American
people happier. Because of her intimate
knowledge and understanding OF the
deaf childs tremendous handicap, she
is now reaching out to her friends
everywhere through the medium of the
Coolidge fund to focus attention upon
this disability and to get aid for Its
amelioration.
She richly deserves to be successful
in this effort and to have the JOY of
knowing that she Is successful before
she leaves the White House."

THE DAWSON GLEE CLUB.

The Dawson Glee Club last evening
gave its Midwinter recital in Pierce
Hall with Mary Muller Fink, harpist,
as guest soloist.
The program was consistently within
the field of what one would call good
music" which is to indicate that this
choral group exercises its ambitions in
a musical realm which is not ordinarily
connected in the lay mind with organi-
zations still stigmatized by the "glee'
emphasis. AS matter of fact, 1t is
understood. the Dawson group was
named in honor of DR.. Archibald Davi-
son, whose work at Harvard has done
much to raise the standards of uniyer-
sity choral singing.
Opening with three songs of deep
religious content and musical dignity.
Rachmaninoff's "Cherubim Song" the
Ave Maria" ascribed to Jacob Area
deft, and Johann Sebastian Bach's
"Jesu, Joy of Mans Desiring" the club,
under the direction of John r. Monroe,
displayed worthy quality Of interpre-
tation. The Bach number received
much applause from the audience.
"Chorale and Variations" for hsrp
and piano, by c. M. Widor, played by
Miss Fink. who is member of the
faculty at Peabody Conservatory in
Baltimore, with Emerson Meyers at the
piano. was the second selection.
There followed another group of four
songs by the club The charming Sicil-
ian folk song. "Canto del Carcerato, I"

act rhyming. proved an effective num-
Der; M. r. Coe was the soloist here.
Robert Manton's THE Day Grows Old, >
with j. S. Lachowicz as soloist, was the
third number, and the group was closed
with Manton's version of THE Sara
Gems from the Song of Roland"
Harp and French horns, the latter
instruments played by A. E. Seidler and
C. E. O'Neil, furnished background
for the clubs rendition of two Brahms
numbers, Il Hear a Harp and Song
From Ossian's Fingal," both arranged
for mems voices by DR.. DAWSON These
selections were shown marked apprecia-
ton by the audience.
Following an intermission, the second
half of the evenings program opened
with the Requiem" (Agnus Del and In
Paradisum) of Gabriel Faure, sung by
the club, with Miss Fink's harp accom-.
paniment. Three. harp solos by the same
artist followed. She gave the Song
of the Volga Boatmen' as her one en-.
core.
The evenings closing group consisted
OF three numbers by the Glee Club,

the Vatican City might be enabled to

Question Of Train.
The newspaper Giornale D'Italy yes
terday said that the Pope might have
for his special train the same outfit
that was used by Plus TX. That train,
was ref1tted for the Rome exposition of
1911. is now in the engineering mus
scum of Castle ST. Angelo and would
need little undermining 1t would be
used for trips by the Pope or to bring
sovereigns on visit to the Vatican.
One Of the consequences of the lat
eran treaty will be the need to renum-
Der automobiles used by cardinals or
other Vatican officials. Hitherto these
cars have been marked as belonging to
the diplomatic corps in Rome and each
has borne serial number. The ex-
ception has been the Popes own car,
which. of course, has never left the
Vatican grounds and which has been
one of the few unregistered and I'M
numbered official automobiles of the
world Hereafter all Papal vehicles will
bear plates issued by the Vatican City.
