INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 10. Louis Meyer, the calm Califor- nian of the roaring road, has a chance by winning this years 500- mile automobile race here May 30 to top all other money earners in the history of the classic.
 Meyer will go to the starting line as the greatest money win her at Indiapolis who is still in the sport. His purse collections total $33,500, and he will be the cnly starter with chance to set a purse record.
 Milton Twcie Victor Tommy Milton, only driver ever to win the 500-mile race twice, heads all drivers in winnings. Of the $1.278,850 the speedway cor poration has distributed to drivers, since 1909. Milton got $49,600. He won in 1921 and 1923 and has re- tired.
 A man who never won a 500-mile race is the next biggest money winner He is Harry Hartz, who collected $37,000 by finishing sec- end in 1922, 1923 and 1926 and fourth in 1924 and 1925. Second prize in the long race is $10,0O0 and first is $20,000 .Hartz quit the pilots game after cracking up a few years ago.
 Even the Best Fall
 Some of the countrys greatest drivers in the last decade have found gold hard to win on the hard bricks of the bumpy 21a mile track here. They provided fans with thrills galore and some of them went broke doing it.
 Eddie Rickenbacker, American war ace and now president of the speedway corporation, was one who gambled on his driving for many years but never profited financial fly. His long career in speedway competition netted him only $1 400 from local promoters. He finished |
 in the money tenth, in 1914
 Barney Oldfield, grand old man of automible racing, tried for years to increase his bankroll here His fame as a daredevil pilot gained him the finest cars of his day, but something always went wrong and he only earned $4,700. He was fifth in 1914 and 1916. Wild Bob Burman, killed at Santa Monica, flirted with the gods of chance here and won only $2,- 200. The late Jimmy Murphy was i a big winner, however, his collec- tions totaling $33,500, the same as those of the youthful Meyer Ralph De Palma won $31,40o His nephew, Peter, prcfited $25,- 200, and Rene Thomas, the French man, took away $3O,000 in 1914 and 1915. Jules Goux, another Frenchman, pulled down $28.500 by winning in 1913 and taking fourth in 1914 and third in 1919. | Among younger drivers, Louie Schneider, victor a year ago, is collector of $25 5000, Billy Arnold. ahead at the finish lines in 1930, $23, 400, and George Souders, 1927 winner, has retired

Constipation is caused by lack of

both. At the same time, it supplies
iron for the blood.
The "bulk" in ALL-BRAN is SINH

body, it forms a soft mass, which
gently clears the intestines of

CITY'S BUILDING
RECORD EXCEEDS
LARGER PLACES

Although building permits for
Fl Centro for the year 1881 were
about $4,000 less than those OF
1890 the city, when compared with
other cities of Southern California,
makes a splendid showing for the
year just ended, according to fig
ures on coast building permits Tor
the year 1881, just received at the
FL Centro Chamber of Commerce
headquarters. El Centro stands %
in a list Of IS cities in Southern
California, taken irrespective Of
size and location. Last year, El
Centro came 35th In the list, which
includes Los Angeles, Pasadena,
San Diego and a number of other
cities many times the size Of e.
Centro.
Some Of the cities about the size
of El Centro which were below this
city in building permits in 1881
are Aneheim, Cotton, Redondo
Beach, Fullerton, Visalia, Orange,
Santa Paula and Monroyia. Cities
considerably larger than El Centro
which have building permits much
under this city's for 1881 are Red
lands, Burbank, South Pasadena,
Whittier, Ontario and Compton.
AS an indication of business ac-
tivity in Ell Centro as compared
with other cities Of the United
States, judged by building permits,
the Ell Centro chamber staff has
the following figures for the month
Of November, 1891: El Centre
building permits were larger than
those of Charleston, S. c., Chey-
enne, Wyo., Fargo, N. D., or San
Bernardino, Calf, all cities from
two to three times the size of Ell
Centre. Portland, Me, Manchester,
N. H, and Little Rock, Ark, each
seven times El Centre In size, had
smaller building permits, as did
Tampa, Fla. and El Paso, Texas,
each 10 times as large as El Centro.
Ell Centro even exceeded Toledo,
O., in building permits that month,
Toledo having population Of
100000.
Present indications are that El

TIRE LEADER ANNOUNCES
REDUCED PRICES
Fi1estone Economies Passed on
to Public

Car owners throughout America
are saved millions Of dollars by
drastic price reduction affecting all
sizes and types OF tires, K. {. Tucker.
Vice President OF The Fircstone Tire
x Rubber Company OF California,
announced today.
"Firestonc aeain leads in price re-
duction," Tucker stated, making
the cost OF Fircstone Gum-Dipped
Tires the lowest in history. This re-
duction is made in spite of a con-
stantly increasing demand which has
depleted reserve stocks and is keep
ing our factories in Akron and Los
Angeles operating on maximum
schedule. The purpose of the reduc-
zion is to pass on to American auto
mobile owners at this strategic mo-
.nent the advantages of new econo-
mics resulting from Firestone's now
unequaled position in buying raw
materials such as rubber and cotton,
from efficient production methods
and economical distribution facili-
ties. 1t is a direct reaction TO the in
creased purchasing power OF the
American dollar"
'Firestone's lowered prices" Tuck
er said, will save motorists in
America several million dollars in

FOREST SERVICE TO AID
800 VOLUNTEER FIRE, WARDENs

IAN excellent move, and one to as

Immediately make available its full re-
sources" is Regional Forester Evan W.
Kelleys comment on the newly or
ganized Vigilante Committees which,
led by Governor ]. E. Erickson and {.
Ben Ross, have declared war on care
lessness and incendiarism In the for
ests of Montana and Idaho.
THE job of preventing man-caused
forest fires whether they be delib-'
erately set or carelessly started--is one
which everybody must tackle" he con-
tinued land immediate steps will be
| taken to correlate our work with that
! of the three thousand or more Vol
/ unteer Fire Wardens, who, under di-
i rection of State Foresters Ben Bush OF
/ Idaho. and Rutledge Parker Of Mon
tana, have pledged their every effort
to strict and impartial law enforcement
as a most effective means of combating
this menace.
Operating under the powers con-
ferred upon them by state and federal
forest fire laws, these volunteer war
dens will be in position agressively to
60 after every camper, smoker, or IN
cendiary whose acts-careless or de-
liberate-might result in forest fires
With law enforcement as their wai
cry, these responsible, reputable citi-
zens should be able to check the huge
losses by which such a small minority
imposes, each year upon the taxpayer
of Montana and Idaho"
Already, according to Kelley, Ger.
. tain definite measures have been takeI
! to prevent carelessness and incendiar-
, ism in the national forests, and t
, bring to swift justice all violators 0

Those measures will be outlined, am
