Race Driver Must Speed,
 Auto Classic
f2O M.P.H. Foreseen for Indianapolis 5OO-
 Mile Event
By TOBY WANT

INDIANAPOLIS, March 25.-Ihe race driver who aspires to win the 1s39 Speedway classic next Decora- tion day must start planning now to make dizzy average of more than 120 miles an hour for 500 miles over the 2ls emile brick asphalt track here, according to Waldo Stein. re-. scgnized as top man in the racing tire business.
 Any driver, Stein says, who comes to the Indianapolis track next May and does not lay out his racing strategy to include an av- e age speed of l20 miles, in my opin- ion will not win the race.
 As the average for the entire route rises, there will be a notice able change in the driving tactics of the contestants. It will be like the cid days of the boards, when speeds of l30 miles and even 40 miles an hour for a shorter race were not uncommon
 Floyd Roberts of VanNuys, Calif., set new all-time record of 1l7.2 miles an hour in capturing the 500 miler last year
 1 All speedsters which compete in ! the Speedway event are equipped with Stein's tires It is Stems aN- nual job to estimate the speed Of the next race and build tires accord- ingly.
 25 Years In Business
 Stein's experience in the racing tire field dates back % years. to a time when he was with Barney Oldfleld Drivers are so dependent on Stein now that they will not drive onto the track until they have con- suited him about tires. He can tell them. usually within lap or less, how much their tires will stand at such-and-suc a speed
 Tt is interesting" Stein says, ito study the wear exterted by various cars. Two given tires of 100 per cent construction may react differ ently. Take for example, the car in the lead which has the pick of the track positions and has no neces- sity for lodging in and out of holes CT for the sudden application of brakes to eyade another racer
 This. racer will exert only the normal wear .on tires, while car back in the field and fighting to move up on the leader will not have tn epick of the track positions and, consequently, the going is just lit- tie rougher. But the tires are built to withstand the greatest plnish- ment.
 Unafraid Of Foreigners
 Stein believes American drivers have little to fear from foreigners.
 If any foreign drivers do have the good fortune to compete on the local track this year, he says, T fear that they will be racing under a handicap, because usually their speeds are not comparable to those of the Indianapolis track.
 Granted they possess racers With plenty of zip, whether or not they will withstand punishment for 500 miles. is yet to be seen.
 Stein paid tribute to Wild Billv Cummings, 1894 winner fatally in- jured in an ordinary traffic acci- dent near here several weeks ago.
 We need new drivers Stein an- nounces. to replace those like Wild Bill whose untimely death cert ainly robbed the sport of one of it's greatest and best-lived drivers.
 Tt has become increasingly diffi- cult each year for new drivers to break into big-time racing here be- cause of the exacting qualifications necessary But there is ample room for new talent"

Outlook Good For
Prices for Lambs
For 1889 Season

College Station, Raleigh, March
23.-LoW prices for lambs and wool
i'll 1888 may have been blessing
to North Carolina farmers, says T..
1. Case, animal husbandman of the
State College Extension Service,
who reports that the many eve
lambs held off the market for that
reason will supply the necessary re
placements to make the 1889 out
COX favorable.
Because Of this low-price situa-
ton in 1888, the North Carolina
sheep population is believed to have
increased for the first time in many
yearS, Case said. .,.saENsles|
The extension specialist expects
cooperative shipments of lambs to
show a marked increase this year.
Records compiled from the six CO.
operative markets established in the
State through Extension Service
workers reveal that $26, 1880 worth
Of lambs were sold for farmers last
year.
The Watauga market, which was
a pioneer in cooperative shipping,
did the largest business, with an
income Of SO, 308.57 from 1924 head.
The Allegheny market, which also
pioneered in the work brought
formers S8,854.81 for 1886 head.
The Ashe County market did a
$3,543.99 business with 598 lambs
and sheep; the Tyrrell-W Washington
Hyde Martin market brought farm
ers $2,330.7O for SIT for 1853 head;
and the Edgecombe County market
sold 1875 head for $81O.16
The best prices were paid for the
Edgecombe lambs, $3.50 per hun
dred pounds. The Allegheny price
average was $7.71 per. cwt., and the
Ashe lambs averaged $748. The
Watauga shipments averaged $7.40,
the Three-County market Sis, and
the Four-County market $704.

Dry Cleaning
Feud Fought
oDogfall
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In tb.; Sir Walter Hotel.
By LYNN NISBET

Raleigh, March ga personal
| feud almost as noticeable as that ex-
listing between Speaker Ward and
Runner-up Victor Bryant, was fought
| out to another dogfall between Virgil
| Wilson of Forsyth and John Caffey
OF Guilford over the North Carolina
Dry Cleaning Commission. Caffey
was one of the sponsors Of the act
| creating the commission in 1887 and
has since drawn nearly five thous-
and dollars from it as attorney. Will
son introduced bill early in the SEES
sion repeating the entire set up.
The bill went back and forward
to and from committees, with Will
son and Caffey both scrapping for
every advantage. Finally, a commit
tee substitute to Wilson's repeater
was brought in, that not only failed
to repeal the commission but actually
increased its prestige.
Caffey pressed for adoption of the
substitute report, but after a long de-
bate Wilson got it tabled. Yesterday
Mr. Wilson sent up a purely local
bilr' eXempting Forsyth county from
the statewide act He was about to
get that passed under suspension Of
the rules when Caffey caught it, de-
MED that it was local bill because
it affected a statewide act, and the
debate was on. County after county
sent up amendments asking to be
included in the Forsyth exemption,
and the confusion got SO bad that
about half the members were ask
ing to- be exempted from the amend
ment instead of from the act. Speak
er Ward suggested that the whole
thing go back to a committee, but
the house was having too good a
time. The members were not as anxi-
GUS to get through as the speaker
seemed to be, SO they voted that
down. Eventually the confusion be-
came worse confounded and another
motion to send it back to committee
did pass. So the state dry cleaning
commission act is now right where
it was when the session started
and Wilson Of Forsyth is still clay
ing" for it.

It could not be that! 1t couldn't be
that Jim was hunted-a criminal.
Still there was that letter., Want

BRAIN, That meant, could only
mean, one thing-a thing she
couldn't bear to- believe, couldn't
stand to face.
She must put it up to Jim, she
decided few minutes later, as she
smoothed back her tumbled hair
and slipped a powder puff over her
hot face. She must tell him what
she had discovered, warn him.
After all, it might not be so bad.
There might still be some explana-
ton, other than the one she feared.
She felt, suddenly, the need of see
ing him, of watching the little
crooked half-smile she knew so well
spread over his face, of hearing his
drawing, Girl"
Without waiting for a summons,
she opened the door of his room and
edged inside. The nurse was seat
ed at his bedside and she frowned
at the intrusion. "You were to stay
out" she said, in a warning whis-
per. '"The doctor left orders"
"But I thought he was better.
You didn't call me. What has hap.
pened?" Dismay made Lona's voice
sharp, and the figure on the bed
stirred violently.
"Sh-sh!' the nurse cautioned.
''You must be quiet"
'"The netw Jim cried out then.

Iona jumped. Hes going through

Can't you stop him! That nets no

was raving again. Iona looked at
the nurse, a question in her eyes.
The nurse lifted a warning fin
ger. cts his head" she whispered.
1--WE rather expected it. But it's
nothing to worry about. He'll come
out of it." She smiled reassuringly.
But he-he looks so strange!
Are you sure it's-all right?"
There's nothing to be alarmed
about. If you'll just go on out, I'll
have him quiet in a few minutes.
He's had another hypodermic. He
may be rational when he comes out
of that. Now, if you'll please go
out" She was gently easing Iona
toward the door.
Their whispered conflict seemed
to communicate itself to Jim's wan
dering consciousness. "The nett"
he cried out again, struggling to
sit up in bed. Hell go through
the net, I tell you! Stop him.
For Gods sake, stop him! It's MUIR

MURDER :" ~
Murder! The word hit on Lona's
mind like the impact of a bomb.
She staggered before it, and al
lowed the nurse to shoe her, unre-
sisting, back out into the corridor.
For a long moment she stood
there when the door had closed be-
hind her, softening that rasping,
unfamiliar voice. Murder! So
that was it. That was the thing
that was haunting Jim-the thing
she had to face. For the second
time in her life-murder!

Beetle Fight
Gets Going
In the State
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, March 23.-Eight speedy
United States government trucks
armed with high-powered gas guns
are speeding toward North Carolina
to launch a campaign of extermina-
ton against invaders from Japan.
This isn't war bulletin, however,
announcing that Our Bob" Reynolds
has really got the government stir
red up by his campaign against
aliens; because the trucks are from
the Department of Agriculture, the
guns are spray affairs, the gas comes
from a solution of arsenate of lead,
and the enemy are beetles, not little
yellow men from the Orient.
In plain words, the State Depart
ment of Agriculture is announcing an
intensive control program designed
to destroy the larvae of Japanese
beetles, the campaign against these
pest which destroy 200 varieties of
plants and grasses will begin March
27.
The trucks will be used to spray
some ZAP acres. of beetles-infested
soil, with operations beginning 81
simultaneously in Greensboro and
Winston-Salem, the most heavily in
tested area in the State.
c. H. Brannon, chief of the Depart
ment's entomology division, said that
,arsenate of lead will be sprayed at
rate of 1000 pounds per. acre in
the following countless
Durham, acres; Forsyth, SO acres;
Guilford, 80 acres; Lee, 10 acres;
Mecklenburg, 6 acres; New Hanover
20 acres; Pasquotank, 6 acres; Row.
an, SIS acres; and Wake, 8 acres.
Purchase of the arsenate of lead
to be used in connection with the
beetle project was made possible by
an emergency appropriation of $780,
600 by the current General Assem-
bly," Brannon explained. "Otherwise
| North Carolina would have beer
placed under Federal beetle quaran-
tine which would have made the
state dumping ground for plant
shippers in areas already under
quarantine"

hatred of newspapers and his fear
