ODDS A. Porter Sometimes
Has to Buy Paper to
Learn Winner.
BY TOM OCHILTREE

Odis A. Porter, who serves as the
eyes and BRAIN of the most perfect
timing machine in the world, has
checked every car in all the Memo
rial Day races, but he often has to
wait and buy newspaper to find
out who won.
Busy as he is, this man, who
thinks of time in hundredths of
seconds, always remains as calm as
an ancient philosopher or an agra
rlan poet on race day. Putting on
his pipe, and with his glasses pulled
down to the end of his nose, he
seems almost like Father Time him
self as he sits in his booth on the
second floor of the Speedway press
pagoda.
Porter has clicked almost every
kind of speed contest devised. He
always is present when Sir Malcolm
Campbell, English driving star
makes his roaring rides against time,
FooI-Proof Timing
International yacht and motor
boat races find him seated at the
finish line with his pipe and timing
machine. To question his figures
would be like questioning the integ-
rity of the Bank of England.
For a quarter of a century he has
worked to perfect a machine that is
fool proof and can't be fixed.
A ships chronometer is the gov
ernor for the rest of the equip
ment. AS car passes across the
starting wire, stretched across the
track, it breaks a circuit and causes
the machine to record the time in
hours, minutes, seconds and hun
dredths on a tape.
It's Done Quickly
When the automobile has COM
pleted lap and hits the wire again,
another recording is made. The
first figure is subtracted from the
second, giving the total time in
minutes, seconds and hundredths
for the lap. This is computed
quickly on special calculating ma
chimes, and the speed in miles an
hour is read off into the thou
Sandths.
This machine can never be off
more than one-quarter of one-hun-
dredth part of second" Porter
said. "It is comparatively simple to
operate when drivers are qualifying.
On race day, however, it is neceS-
sary to mark on the time tape the
number of each car opposite the
reading.
1.-THE machine can't see. Some
times it is humanity impossible to
get all these car numbers down, but
double check system used here
enables us to fill in the blank places.
am so busy putting the car num-
bers on the tape, that I never have
time to even wonder how the race
is going"
135 in Timing Crew
Chester S. Kicker, scoring and
timing director, is in charge of a
crew of 1875 men whose duty it is
to keep the public, press and driv-
ers informed on the progress of
the race, and to compile complete
race record.
Assisting Porter are G. H
(Snappy) Ford, gentleman who
wears loud caps and does upside
down writing to amuse his friends,
and j. r. Trout.
Porter has seen the racing heroes
of three generations on the In
dianapolis track, and every race
day he says a little prayer that no
one will be in an accident.

SYSTEM FIRST IN U. S.

Launching Of program described
as an attempt to restore criminals
on probation to life of good citi-
zenship was announced today by
Criminal Court Judge Frank P.
Baker.
The announcement was timed
with the meeting here tomorrow of
the Central States Probation and
Parole Conference in the Claypool
Once or twice each week, Judge
Baker explained, probationers of
Criminal Court are to attend a
good citizenship school," The sys-
tenn, said to be the first of its type
in the United States, is to be tried
for a year. Results are to be dis
closed at the National Probation
and Parole Conference next year,
Judge Baker said.
Church Attendance Required
"We are going to obtain speak
ers who can speak the language of
the probationers to address them on
citizenship topics. We hope to
persuade the probationers to obey
the law and to spread the doctrine
of good citizenship among their as
sociates and neighbors," Judge
Baker said.
Although the system violates the
theory that probationers should not
be brough together, we believe that
they associate with each other out
side of court anyway. Under this
system, they will meet in an at
mosphere of good citizenship"
He said that required church at
tendance also would be a part of
the rehabilitation program and that
a new probation officer would be
assigned to the work of arranging
the schools.
Kern to Greet Delegates
The third annual central states
conference opening tomorrow is to
include four days of addresses and
discussions by public officials, state
probation and parole authorities
and criminologists.
Representatives from 40 states in

sions at 10 tomorrow morning. Gov.
