The record for the 500 miles Is held
by Pete de Paolo, made in the race OF
1925 with a 122-inch motor, when he
averaged i0i.13 miles per hour in the
Duesenberg Special.
There was rush to get In the elimi-
nation trials held yesterday afternoon,
as the first ones to qualify receive the
preferred positions at the start. These
Wednesday afternoon. This Is made
necessary, as 46 cars have been entered,
but only 80 will be permitted to race.
It Is intended to take the 80 fastest
cars, but even they will be required to
make four laps of the track at an aver
age speed of better than 90 miles per
hour. Each lap of az miles win have
to be done In less than l minute and
40 seconds.
Louis Meyer, winner of last years
race, will drive a Miller car with the
No. /. This number is assigned to him
for being champion race driver last
year, with total of 1896 points. Vic
tory in the 500-mile race at Indian
apolis advanced him 1000 points.
Souders Has Not Recovered.
George Souders. who won the race in
1927 and finished third last year, has
not sufficiently recovered from the acct
dent he had in Detroit last July to
drive. His arm is too stiff to permit of
high-speed driving.
Ralph de Palma, one of the greatest
drawing cards the racing game has ever
known, will drive the latest and newest
of the Miller cars. bearing No. ~.
Vale Comotti the Italian, who was to
drive a Talbot, will be unable to reach
the track. as he has been delayed In his
native land
With the "no-smoking" rule so rigidly
enforced, the drivers and mechanics
are having hard time of 1t these days.
Just when they think they have found
a place to take couple OF puffs some
guard appears with an order to "step
on it."
Fifteen of the cars entered this year
are front-wheel driven. The hackers
OF the front-drive cars declare them to
be the ideal type for racing, especially
on the turns, as skidding is reduced to
point where the driver can pile right
into the banks without easing off on the
gas. The drivers of these cars will
make their greatest bid for victory and
fame on Memorial day. as all of the
winners In the previous 10 contests
have driven rear-driVe machines.
A technical committee has been ap-
pointed for the purpose Of reducing the
hazard OF accidents. All cars have to
pass inspection, and In case OF accident,
cars humping each other, touching the
fence or wall. or showing visible signs
Of distress during the race. must stop
at the pits for official examination, and
will not be allowed to continue until
receiving the approval of this board.
Pleased With Advance Sale.
Two women appear on the list OF
ownerS-Mrs. Maude Yagle and Mrs
Marian Batten, the latter the widow OF
one of the race drivers that went down
with the Vestris.
The management Is highly encour-
aged by the advance sale of tickets
which has surpassed all previous rec

The Indianapolis 500-mile race, the

numerous instances, has pulled un-

this great race.

amount of time consistent with good
work. And the practice of keeping
all tools and utensils within easy
reach helps in doing so. Certainly
all the tools needed in the prepara-
ton of food at the kitchen table
should be hung around 1t. Spoons,
beaters, mixing forks, strainers,
whatever is commonly used In pre-
pairing food should be suspended
near the workable. If it is backed
against the wall, a wooden strip on
the wall, with plenty Of cub-hooks,
will accommodate them. Cooking
utensils should be kept near the
stove. Large basins, colanders, and
other equipment for washing vege-
tables ought to be near the sink.
True, open shelves do gather dust
more quickly than those protected
by a door. But, even at that, less
time and trouble r involved than
the effort of opening closet doors a
hundred times a day.

entertaining social hour Monday
afternoon, when April Fool stunts
were introduced as amusement. The
guests entered into the spirit of
carefree buffoonery, and forgetting
their grown-up dignity, participated
in a number of pranks and con-

as h~ostesses. Mrs. Fritz Schmidt is
chairman of this circle.
The church parlors we're beauti-
fully decorated with a profusion of
gladioli and fern. A refreShment

Preceding the social hour a short
business session was held, during
which routine affairs were discussed.
A report from Mrs. E. w. Marshall,
wife Of the pastor. and an active
member Of the society, who is now
in Austin taking the treatment for

along nicely. A number of the
members had received cards from
her. and most of them had written
to her.
