Indianapolis and Mauri Rose of
Columbus, Ohio. Shaw will be try
ing to win his third "500.'
An expected battle between Mays

enough speed out of his 16-cylinder
mount in practice runs.
The 18th qualifier was William
(Shorty) Canton of Detroit, the
only driver to make the grade yes

the drivers from even trying. but
George Connor of San Bernardino,

INDIANAPOLIS. May 20.-What
has happened to the "a men who
have driven to fame and furtune
in the 50O-mile Memorial Day auto
mobile race at the Indianapolis
Speedway?
It's question that pops up every
race season.
Here are the answers:
Nine of the "a speedway winners
are dead and eight of them were
victims of the sport which brought
them fame. One-Bill Cummings
of Indianapolis-was killed in a
traffic accident. Only one winner
lost his life on the speedway track.
Only two of the "a still are active
in racing, Wilbur Shaw of India
napolis, the winner in 1887 and 1899,
and Kelly Petillo of Los Angeles,
1885 victor. Both are entered in
the May 80 event.
De Palma Race Promoter.
But starting from the first, here
is what has happened to them:
Ray HaToun. winner Of the first
500-mile race in 1911, now is with
Saginaw (Mich) stamping and
tool company.
Joe Dawson, 1912 victor, is Phila-
phia automobile dealer.
In 1918 Jules Goux came over from
France to outdrive all the Ameri-
cans. Another Frenchman, Rene
n, n-%l To-
the automobile business in France.
Ralph De Palma, one of the
earliest of the popular favorites,
won in 1915. De Palma always is
around at race time, but in his
spare time he promotes midget auto
mobile races in Florida.
Dario Resta won the 1916 race.
He was killed September 2, 1924, on
the Brooklands track in England.

CURED twice yesterday when
Catcher Rick Ferrell excusably
allowed two strikeout pitches to
escape him for errors. Both were
Leonard's f1uttery knuckle balls
and broke crafty.

receiver, may not bounce back
after his unimpressive perform
ance in catching Lyons. Mike al
lowed two balls to get by him in
the Mats four-run second inning
which charitably were scored as
wild pitches and from that point
he was jittery, boxing" pitches

make up his mind what to do about
it II some woman didn't make up his
mind for him and drag him to the
altar before he could debate the sub
ject any longer.
In the meantime We can but SYM
pathize with these perplexed souls,
one of whom asks my advice on the
subject. He writes:
Il am a middle-aged bachelor,
and sometimes a spell OF loneliness
comes over me that makes me feel
that I should have partner to go
with me the balance of life's journey,
but I do not know whether to risk
marrying or not.
And I get no satisfaction from
my friends when I consult them.
The single ones, who have never
tried it, say to get married if I
can. But nearly all of the married
men whom I have asked warn me
against it and say that if am look
ing for trouble the quickest way to
find it is to get wife. Which ones
are right?"
If course, marriage is venture
whose outcome no one can predict
with absolute certainty. So is every
thing else you do. There are no

all modern cosmetics.
One of the best in the latter
category is a dry shampoo that
should solve many a hairdressing
problem for you. It's a powder which
is wonderful to keep the hair soft,

entire head, then remove the glove,
shake it free of powder. turn it
inside out and put on again. With
the clean surface, go over each lock
of hair to remove the powder and
finish with good brushing and
combing.
This is such simple but eff
fective process that every woman
should find use for it, at least oc-
casionally. If your hair turns oily

attract attention, especially in sum-
mer when lips quickly lose that
freshly-done look. The product we
have in mind is a liquid which is
painted on the lips and which stays
on in a nice, even manner for
hours. To use any one of the nine
available shades, simply remove all
traces of oily lipstick, creams and
other cosmetics from the lips Then,
press the applicator on the inside of
the bottle to squeeze out surplus
liquid and finally. use the applicator
as you would a lipstick. painting a
nice sheen that will linger for a
satisfactory time. Always keep your
lips separated for a few minutes
after the application in order that
the liquid may dry. 1t can be re-
moved with special remover.

face. this liquid lip coloring is ex-
cellent. You know how many times
you feel just a little silly when you

for lipstick instead of a mashie.
So many women are enthusiastic
about this product, and it's easy to
see why they take to an item that
is practical as this one.
Practical and at the same time
frivolous is the idea created by one
of the most popular beauty firms.

following system, devised by the
owner OF a rather f1ighty and
opinionated wire-haired fox terrier,
who considered it was more in his
line to give the orders than to
receive them. He had slight case
of natural greediness Cmost dogs
have), and his owner used it to
secure his downfall. At least, he
probably looked at it that way.
The boss picked up a graham
cracker, and held it over the terriers
nose, backing him slowly along until
his stern came in contact with a
wall. This, he realized, was the end
of the line, so he took a tuck in
himself, and sat down neatly. She
remarked, forcefully, "sit." as he
folded up, and presented him with a
bit of the cracker. This maneuver
was repeated several times, and then
forgotten for the rest of the day,
to avoid monotony and indigestion.
Next day, more cracker. backing

and he proceeded to sit with alacrity
always with the word dinning in
his ears. until the noise became
synonymous with the act and the
reward.
After that was accomplished, he
learned to repeat the performance
occasionally with no reward-it
didn't matter much, the whole thing
had become pretty automatic. But
always the command was to "sit, "
and the gesture was made with a
closed hand held high. Then the
boss took to leaving him sitting,
backing away, and saying, wait" "
as she did so. If he got up to follow,
he got no cracker, if he stayed put,
she threw him a crunchy morsel.
1t didn't take him long to figure
out cause and effect-and the train
ing was accomplished!

Warn Child
To Beware
Poison Ivy
An Entire Vacation
May Be Spoiled
By Infection
BY ANGELO pATRI.

once more we must warn children
against poison ivy. 1t is a lovely
looking vine, with three parts to
each leaf. Its new growth is reddish
bronze. In its old age blooms and
beers lovely waxen berries. 1t Is
the meanest enemy of a happy sum-
mer for some children that grows
in the fields.
First, teach children who 20 TO
the country how to recognize this
enemy, and to keep away from it.
Then teach them to prevent it from
harming them.
Don't go close to it when 1t is
wet. Don't break it, don't touch
1t. Don't be brave about it. Just
keep out of its reach.
Before going out to be exposed
to 1t cover the legs and arms and
face with a lather of brown laun-
dry soap. Let that lather dry on
the skin. Then keep out of its way
as carefully as ever.
When the excursion is over, wash
with warm water, scrubbing thor
oughly, and rinse and dry. That
simple precaution will prevent an
infection and save plenty of trouble
and expense.
Teach children to look carefully
at the grass before they sit down
on 1t when they go out to picnic or
to play. Needless, unknowing little
ones have sat down In a bed of poi
son ivy to their great grief.
If after every precaution has been
taken the child is infected, ask the
physician to see him and prescribe
Tor him. Only the experienced
physician can help him then. What
seems to help one child often fails
to help another, and no time should
be lost in getting expert help as the
thing spreads. It's burning itch is
1ntolerable. If it gets a head start
on child who is highly susceptible
he is likely to be very i'll indeed.
In roofing out the ivy the coating
OF brown soap is indicated for the
worker. 1t should completely cover
all exposed parts. High stockings
and stout gloves help.
Don't stand in the way of the
smoke if the ivy is being burned.
Some people, old and young alike,
are susceptible to the infection
through the smoke. In short, keep
away from poison ivy this summer
and try to save the children from
its nasty disposition.

Answering
Readers

BY EMILY POST.

1t is impossible for any one but a
fashion specialist to guess what is
meant by all the terms given to
present-day clothes. In fact, I think
it must happen that even the fash
ion experts are at times put to it to
correctly label the various house and
hostess garments, the go-out, or
stay dresses! In other
words, I can only guess how to
answer question such as the
following: "Is a silk house-coat
proper to receive few guests in at
lunchtime?"
If by house-coat you mean a
long princess dress reaching to the
floor, then lunchtime is one hour at
which this should not be worn. If
made of cotton print, it would be
all right for break 'ast: if made of
silk brocade, it would be all right
for dinner, but it is out of the pic
ture for lunch. If it suggests a
negligee rather than dress, then
it should stay in your bedroom
If it is short and has pajamas under
it, then perhaps it is worn only
when at home alone, or, on the other
hand, it may be meant to wear for
cocktail parties in the afternoon
In other words, I think you can
judge its suitability by the appear
ance you produce when wearing it,
better than I can.

Dear Miss Post: Must there also

people leave? We are giving the
breakfast in a hotel and having nc
private dining room-just screens
separating us from the rest of the
public room. All the guests at the
church are going to the breakfast;
but think 1t would be difficult tc

would be much less confusing as
