Soldier Is Unpaid and U11S11mg
Hero of 5OO-MiIe Motor Race

HEROIC drivers of the Speed
Il Il way race have received their
prizes. Already the roar of mo-
tors and cheers of thousands of
speed-crazed fans is but an echo.
The grand stands in which that
world of humanity milled Satur-
day are bare and gaunt in the
sun.
But in Indianapolis today there
is a man-an ur-sung and unpaid
hero Of the race-on whose mind
the thrilling events of the day are
emblazoned.
He is Sergeant Fred L. Brown
of Company D, One hundred
fifty-f1rSt infantry, who lives at
SLOT Greenfield avenue.
Brown is the man, spectators of
grand stand Fl will remember, who
braved the dangers of roaring
autos and slippery track to re-
trieve broken wood that Uttered
the bricks after Harry Butchers
car had crashed into the railing
at the head of the front stretch
when Butcher took that course
rather than cause death and dis
aster.
DROWN had cleared Sonle of
- the debris from the track.
but other large pieces of wood
remained, hazard to the drivers
and their mechanics, who were
hurtled over the bricks at more
than 100 miles all hour.
AS Brown Snatched one, then
another piece of wood from the
track, he heard the shouting of
spectators in the grand stand
They believed he could not see
the cars rocketing from the curve
into the stretch where he stood,
and were yelling at him when to
go on the track and when not to
attempt it.
His job nearly done, Brown
spied more and larger pieces of
wood on the other side.
And he tells this story:
Il know that track had to be
cleaned and cleaned quickly.
There might have been another
smashup and drivers or specta-
tors killed. I went to Colonel
Rickenbacker and Eddie Eden
burn and told them about it.
"Rickenbacker told me to go
ahead If I was sure I wouldn't be
killed. I told him I'd take a
chance and not to slow down the

S2S,5OO SPEED
PURSE BANKED
BY SCHNEIDER
Lean Years Are Past for
Race Victor and
His Wife.
BY ARCH sTEINEL

Louie" Schneider, winner OF the
5oo-mile race, was just a chauffeur
today banking his dough for the
big Boss"
For when Schneider went to the
newly established auto window OF
a downtown bank to deposit the
s29. 500 he won Decoration day, the
vari-colored checks were Endorsed
by that big BosS"-Mrs. Barbara
Schneider, his wife.
"She owns the race car and I'm
Just the chauffeur" said the Win
ner. as he grinningly showed the
checks in a slot of the bullet-proof
window vault on the alley-side OF
the bank.
"some of this, in fact all he
wants, is going to dad VINO bought
nv first race car and backed me
through my lean years" said
Louie as he waved the sheaf OF
checks and paid tribute to his
father, William G.. Schneider, city
tailor.
where do I go from here? Well,
it won't be Altoona, the death trap
of race drivers. Ray Keech, Joe
Bower. Howdy Wilcox died there.
NV partner, Clyde Terry, in my ga
rage. was manned for life at AL
toona when he was my mechanic"
Schneider said.
"Won Fair and Square"
Efforts to lift the speed crown
from his head by contests filed
against his victory drew scorn from
Louie.
IT won the race fair and square
and the A. A. A. felt that I did.
Harry Hartz manager and owner OF
car driven by Billy Arnold) failed
in his attempt either to take fame
or fortune away from me" he
cracked"
Always a stormy petrol Of the
A. A. A., Schneider related today
how he permitted seven cars to pass
him at the race start Saturday so
that no one would charge he'd
jumped the gun.
"When the rain came up went
into second gear to keep my place
in line so they coludn't say I tried
to pass any car while the yellow
flag was out" he said.
Signing her name to the victory
checks, Mrs. Schneider reminded
Louie" of the tough times they'd
had in the past.
Won't Have to Postpone Meals
1--WE won't have to postpone
meals, will we. honey" Louie" said
to his wife.
But you never made me post
pone any. 1t was you that post
poned the meals.
why, do you know what he'd
do?" she asked, turning to her
questioner. He'd have dollar in
his pocket and give it to me to buy
food and then come home and say
he was too sleepy to eat-so I'd have
enough
"But that's all over now" they
chorused as Louie gave his son a
chuck under the chin and left the
family apartment to deposit the big
pay roll.

CITY COUPLES
ARE ADVISED BY
MARRIAGE SAGE
June Is Here and Many
Visit Courthouse to
Obtain Licenses.
BY SHELDON KEY

An Old Testament adage, Never
Let the sun go down on your
wrath was the recipe for happi-
ness meted prospective newlyweds
today as June applicants for mar
r1age licenses visited the courthouse.
This sage advice also was given
twenty-nine couple who applied for
licenses Monday by Frank league,
marriage license clerk.
Smiling because the month Of
June Is giving him opportunity to
start larger numbers of young peo-
pie toward married bliss, the ven
cradle grHy-haired clerk cheerily
styled himself THE Judge" and
pronounced his sentences Of life"
upon June brides this morning.
"It's a hfty-flfty proposition"
league advised one nattily dressed
couple.
Everybody gets cross at times
but the thing for you to do In
naaYriage--don't both get cross at
the same tinel"
league always ends his advice to
prospective newlyweds with the
scriptural quotation first referred
70. This would prevent all divorces,
he believes.
Marriages Are Decreasing
There Is no need for harboring
wrath In the heart and prolonging
trivial troubles" according to
league.
While attending TO his increased
June business today, league re-
called that marriages in Marion
county are decreasing. In 1929,
there were $500; 1880 brought
$500, and the first quarter this year
has shown a decided decrease.
simultaneously, however, divorces
are increasing. Proof of this was
evident in superior court four today
where Judge Clarence e. Weir start
ed tryin threeg-day docket includ-
ing sixty divorce cases.
league also informed the June
newlyweds that he and his wife
had lived together fifty-two years.
y can't say we never had a cross
word; every one argueS-but one
must forget" he counseled.
Painter WEEDS City Woman
First Of the June couples to apply
for licenses wac Frederick Clay
Bartlett, 81, Chicago, widely-known
American painter, and Evelyn For
tune Lilly, 4S, Indianapolis. They
were married Monday afternoon at
the country home of the brides
father, William Fortune.
Two other couple chose June as
an opportune time for reuniting
their own marriages that had been
dissolved by divorces. These were
James A. Wells, So, Of 31o4 West
North street, railroad worker, and
Martha v. Wells, 81, of same adj
dress, and Marvin r. Smith, 80, of
l026 College avenue, salesman, and
Ruth Anna Smith, 81, of 1909 Ruckle
street, stenographer.
Evidence that working wives, or,
at least, working brides, are becom-
ing more popular was revealed in
applications of the twenty-nine who
applied Monday. Nineteen of the
twenty-inen future brides Signif1ed
they were engaged in some gainful
occupation.
