HOBE HERRICK
DOMINATES
MIDGET RACES

IMPERIAL, June |. - Hobe Her
rick, his tiny motor splitting de-
fiance to field of nine cars, Tues
day night dominated the midget
race program at the Playground
speedway with victories in the tro-
ply dash, first elimination race and
the main event.
Herrick established a new record
in the qualifying run, travelling the
distance in 172 seconds. He rounded
out five laps of the trophy dash in
1877 and won the 10 lap heat race
in 3:34
Still running his car at top speed
Herrick won the 80 lap main event
in 9:35. He lost the lead to Tom
Elliott on the first lap but recap
tured first place on the third lap
to win going away. Hetzel was sec
ond and Bob Douthitt took third.
The big thrill of the night came
on the 10th lap of the main event
when Lyle Dickey skidded his car
on the far side of the track and
then prayerfully lodged six swiftly
moving cars which failed to see
him because Of the thick dust.
Bill Ferguson won the second eli
mination race.
The largest crowd of the season
witnessed the races, which did not
come up to the events of past weeks.
Several cars were out of commission
but will be on hand for next week S
events. Even Jack Peterson, veteran
announcer was not present Tuesday
night. Midget officials promised his
golden voice next week.

Football is in the air again. de-
spite the fact the season does not
open Tor more than three months.
In the valley it's the talk of
coaching changes, on the coast its
spring practice that has attracted
the interest.
But leaving the valley coaching
situation TO the schools board of
trustees and leaving the coast foot
ball practice to the grid mentors
lets take a look at the squad TO
return to Nebraska university. long
one Of the nations greater football
strongholds.
Biff Jones will start his second
year as head coach at Nebraska and
ms first problem will be to try
to live up to the record he made
at Nebraska last season.
Jones. who boasted a record of
never losing an opening football
game in his first year at a new
school, maintained that record last
season when his team upset the
mighty Minnesota Gophers. l4-9
in the opening contest.
Ii was an auSpicious start and
Jones maintained the spirit of his
team TO go through the season with
only one loss. He won the Big Six
title hands down.
This season, however. may be a
tough one. The material is not
outstanding. The line will have
only one returning veteran. Char
ley Brock, star center. And the back
field will be made entirely of mex
perienced hands.
But the Nebraska supporters have
great confidence in the Biff. He has
nodded strong teams out of virtu-
ally nothing on more occasions
than one and there is every reason
TO believe the Cornhuskers will
have another successful season. and
another Big Six title.

Clothing and Housefurnishings Can Be
Fireproofed by Simple Home Process

Fabrics can be fireproofed and
made safer for clothing and house
furnishings by simple and mex
pensive home process of dipping
them in a colorless liquid, a solu-
ton of seven ounces of borax and
three ounces of boric acid in two
quarts of hot water. This treat
ment, says DR.. Martin Leatherman,
of the bureau of chemistry and soils,
United States Department of Agri-
culture, will not protect fabrics
from injury by flame or intense
heat, but it will prevent the fabric
from bursting into flame, and
spreading fires that endanger life or
cause the destruction of homes.
The borax-boric acid solution may
be applied by dipping fabrics until
they are thoroughly moistened, then
wringing out the excess and allow
ing them to dry. Treated cloth may
be ironed just before it is dry. Or
the solution may be applied by
sprinkling or spraying the fabric
enough to moisten it. This method
is likely to be more convenient for
rugs, draperies, and upholstered ar
ticles. Addition Of little soap will
make the treatment more effective
for canvas and other textiles that
