'0NE MAN Cars.
FOR SPEEDWAY.
RACE DECREED
New indianapolis Record
Without Mechanics Is
Being Anticipated

Indianapolis, Ind, April
oO-CUP).-Riding mechanics
renlaced by two small rear-view
mirrors - will be "the thing of
the past" when SO of the nations
fastest race-car creations are lin
ed I'D for competition in the an
nual 5OO-mile classic at the Indi-
annapolis motor speedway on May
30.
The mechanics were made spec
tators instead of active partici-
nants in the worlds most promi-
nent automobile race by adoption
of an international rule. Under
the rule all cars will be built with
only enough room for the driver
and are required to be equipped
with the mirrorS-one mounted
on each side.
By use of the mirrors, which
are three and a half inches each
in diameter, the driver can easily
observe all on-coming traffic and
tell when he is about to be over
taken by a competitor.
NEW RECORD PREDICTED
With formal announcement of
the new rule also came the pre-
diction of a new speed record for
the two and a half mile oval
track this year. Several speedway
officials already have predicted a
115-mile-an-hour average for the
1888 500-mile classic.
First to comment on use of the
mirrors in the Decoration day
race was Louis Schwitzer, chair
man of the American Automobile
associations technical committee,
who believes that they will prove
of invaluable assistance to the
nations foremost "speed kings"
During the race, cars are per-
mitted to pass on either side and
with the mirrors drivers will be
able to observe on-coming traffic
from the right or left side by
merely CHANGING into the reflec-
tors" Schwitzer said.
He. admitted, however, that
"there is no doubt with .one-man
cars the drivers face a tougher
job by having to do without me-
chanics." In recent years the
riding mechanics principal task
has been to watch traffic and no.
tify the driver when a car was
about to overtake them.
/ TRIED IN 1911 RACE
According to records, Inaugural
ton of the rear-view mirror was
in 1911 at the running of the first
| 5O0-mile race ever held on the
Indianapolis motor speedway. The
idea was introduced by Ray Har-
roun, slim daredevil driver, UNI
der protests Of other contestants.
He won the first classic at an av-
erage speed of 74.59 miles an
hour.

Flynn, Hollywood
Prize Vagabond
Is Settling Down
No Longer an Expeditionist
But May Try Hawaiian,
South Sea Trips
By ALEXANDER KAHN
United Press Staff Correspondent

HOLLYWOOD, April 80. (UP)
Enrol Flynn, Hollywoods cham
pion vagabond, is settling down
and his trips in the future will be
confined to mere vacation jaunts
to places like South America, Ha-
wall and perhaps the South Seas.
The journeys may be long, but
thew will no more be listed as eX-
petitions, a definite distinction
IN Flynn's vocabulary.
For in the past when Flynn
went on an expedition it was a
means Of getting food and shelter
and sometimes a good financial re-
turn as well.
Take the expedition after sea
slugs for the Chinese market.
That was successful because the
Chinese were able to indulge
their appetite for sea slugs at a
good return to Flynn. The gold
expedition to New Guinea was
a fifty-ffty success. He found a
little gold, but he also got
native arrow in his ankle.
Flynn still likes the sea, but
the captain" dislikes the expedl-
tons these days. The captain"
is Mrs. Flynn, Lii Damita. She
has had semi-settling influence
on the explorer. You can't expect
a wife to 90 on an expedition at
ter sea slugs. SO they simply take
trips.

She would tie up at her dock II

over.
Jovce stood at the rail and look

Choir, and the liner slowed down
to pick up the pilot. .
II would have been right about
here where her pocketbOok went

this very spot, two short weeks
ago, she had bumped into Dick.
And now it was over. The
Great Adventure was over. She
had found love; she had lived for
a few hours in Paradise, but the
memory would only darken the
future.
Not another word had been said
about the loss of Mrs. O'Hara's
Jewels since they left Miami, but
the matter was by no means clos
ed. The woman'S eyes still blazed
with a hot defiance; every time
she passed Joyce on deck she
glared. as much as to say: Wait,
young woman. I'm not through
with you. Just wait until we get
TO New York"
And here they were coming up
the bay.
They drew abreast of Quaran-
tine. and once again the Empress
hove to, that the customs and inn
migration officials might come
aboard. Joyce glanced down at
the men lined up on the tiny boat
alongside them. She saw the doc
tor, with his ubiquitous black bag
she recognized the uniform of the
customs
She caught her breath, her eyes
wide and unbelieving. Was she
dreaming, or was that Dick Ham,
ilton down there with them? She
blinked, necessarily now, because
her eyes were clouded with quick
tears and she looked again. There
was no doubt of it. His eyes
roved the decks of the Empress,
as if he. were seeking someone
out. But before he saw her, she
was away from the rail, hurrying
down to the seclusion of her cabin
before someone else might recog,
nize him and turn to study hel
reaction.
Ten minutes later he found hen
there.
She heard him bounding dowr
the stairway, three steps at g
time, swinging around the post or
a spinning heel, She did not
question the footsteps; she knew
with a wild exultatiOn that it was
he. She was standing in the mid
die of her room, waiting for him,
as he burst in the door.

She looked up, her eyes ques-

Her voice choked just a little.
Because | love you, and be-
cause nobody in this world is
ever going to say an unklnd word
about you, as long as | live!
Still she did not understand.
Come, sit down and I'll ex-

with all my heart ;.
He kissed her, tenderly at first,
then with d quick, fierce eager
ness. and in that moment she
knew that all the world was right,
and she would never doubt again.
Seated, side by side on the
berth. he told her what had hap
pened.
"The other evening. after you
left us so abruptly" he began,

Joyce's eyes widened. "Then

ANCIENT HOLLY STILL SPREADS
 HOLIDAY CHEER

e In homes throughout America this Christmas the holly plant will carry on it's age-old duty of spread ing Yuletide spirit, custom that dates back to the pagan tribes of continental Europe
 Originally the holly grew wild in the United States over a range from Massachusetts to Missouri and south to Florida and Texas. But too much harvesting in northeastern United States has destroyed much of the natural growth Today most holly is grown from Norfolk, Va, to Florida within 50 or so miles of the Allan tic coast, and westward in the Gulf region tC Louisiana.
 Current popularity of the holly is continuation of the custom of the Druid feasts which honored the mistletoe and holly in pagan rites. In Europe the tribes under Roman rule sent holly branches to each
 her as evidence of good will.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1938-12-20

Homes and churches were decorated with holly laden with crimson ber- ries when the pagans celebrated the. feast of Saturnalia, the turning on of the sun
 Yuletide, the feast made to the Celtic sun god. Yaioul, finally be- came the celebration of Christmas, and the holly tree, known as the holy tree, became the sacred tree for decorations at our Christmas' festivals.
 Holly does not bear berries un- til it is five years old. Before that time the male and female trees can not be told apart. There are moro than 300 species of the plant, all of them native to the temperate and tropical regions of both hemis- pheres.
 Only the American and English holly trees have rich green leaves. These are outlined with sharp spines or teeth, and the fruiting branches have round crimson berries.
