INTRICATE CABLE WIRES

If you want to be an installer or
repairman of telephone switchboard
cable, it might be wise to make certain
you aren't color blind because colors
play an important part in this job of
maintaining equipment. Each of the
hundreds, sometimes thousands, of
wire circuits in the cable has it's indi-
vidual color or combination of colors
in the insulation about the wires.
These colors give the wire experts
ready visual means of distinguishing
one line from another. In addition,
electrical tests make absolutely GER
tain that the wires are in the right
places.
According to the color code, used
by telephone forces in all parts Of the
world, the circuits in the cable are
indicated from the center outward by
combinations Of blue, orange, green,
brown and slate, in that sequence.
With these colors, however, three
others-white, red and black-are
used in that order to form the many
combinations that may be used to
distinguish the multitude of wires in
a particular cable.
Some 339 of these combinations, for
example, are used in Bell System
switchboard cables of various sizes
made by the Western Electric Com
pany, manufacturing and supply
organization of the system. Switch
board cable, of course, is but one of
many types made by the company for
connecting central offices, subscriber
lines and long distance points.

Indianapolis, May 90. - (UP) = The journey is 800 miles and death is trying 10 hitch-hike every inch of the way.
 Speaking of courage -- you can have the boxer who fights on when his senses are rceling. You can have the football player who gets Up grin. ming after c spine. jaring tackle You can have the hockey player Who comes back to battle after Q head- long crash against the boards. You can have 'cm, and please give 'enl their due for being game guys.
 But I'll take the dusty daredeyilf who are roaring around the brick saucer here today in the goth annual sweepstakes race. For raw courage in sports these arc the boys. A boxer can side-slip punch. A football player can SwerVe out Of danger. A hockey player can sec trouble coming and stop. But Q race driver never knows when a tiny piece of steel deep in his roaring, rushing motor is going to snap and send him hurtling against the wall.
 Thirty-Seven persons have been killed at this race since It started almost three decades ago when Ray Harroun astonishing the world by average "A miles an hour Not all of them have been drivers, but enough of them were to establish this as the toughest sport that Q man can perform.
 No Fear
 Not one of the drivers who looks death in the eye through his goggles today denies that he knows the meaning of fear. You should see them in the pits half hour before the start of the race, They pace Up and down, they polish their goggles, they fiddle with their helmets. Me- chanicS talk fast to take the drivers minds off what IS ahead.
 They know the meaning Of fear but they also know how to conquer IL. wilbur Shaw, three times winner here, says the worst part Of the business is waiting for 1t to start Once the motors roar, once the tres begin to burn around the asphalt Q vast contentment comes over the drivers and fear is dropped on the burning road behind.
 Most good competitors seem to be that way. Jack Dempsey used to be nervous as a $l5 a week ship ping clerk in Q table stakes poker game until the gong sent him into battle, Then he ripped and roared.
 There is a simple, unwritten code under which the dusty daredevils operate - when a life's at stake, crash your car" That means any man in the race is willing to FISK his life to save that Of a competitor And it's not just a theory; 1t has been done.
 Roberts Record
 In the l939 race Bob SwanSons car started spinning. Roaring along the track came Floyd Roberts, who still holds the speed record for tnls race. Roberts sized 1t up in two roaring, heroic seconds. He spun his steering wheel, shot to the out side of the track and crashed through the guard fence. Flames and smoke shot high, an ambulance changed and Roberts was taken to a hospi- tai. He died.
 Nine of the 24 men who have won this race are dead. Eight of those nine who died were the victims of the sport they practiced and loved, although all of them were not killed on this tarck. So here they go again today - the gamest guys in sport - and here's hoping and praying theat death, the grim hitch -hiker, thumbs all day and never catches a ride.

 Charles g. Towards solid Mo- land, already approaching the $loo,- 900 mark in money winnings this year and seeking top rank in his di- vision, goes again today In the $30,- 900 added Suburban Handicap at Belmont, top feature of the Memor- ila Day horse racing program.
 Attendance and betting figures are expected to topple throughout the country aS more than $60,000 In stakes are distributed to horsemen. It was just year ago today at Bel. mont that the record crowd of more than 4l,000 showed almost $500 600 through the mutuel windows, but that mark already has been bettered this year and 1t would nto Do sur. prising to sec another quarter mil. lion dollars added to that total to. day.
 Eight Thirty Out
 Expected to be Q prime factor in deciding handicap honors this year, the 65th running Of the rich Subur- ban lost some of It's lustre when George D. Wideners star Eight Thirty had to be withdrawn be. cause of e filled paStern. This left Midland the outstanding fayorite in q field Of 10 thoroughbreds named for the mile and a quarter fixture.
 Midland was given topweight of i27 pounds, five less than Eight Thirty would have had to carry, but even at that he was conceding from eight to 32 pounds. Next high weight was assigned Greentree stables Hash and coming in at the bottom of e6 was 4rookmeade stables Rom- anov.
 The $lo,ooo added Argonaut Handicap at Hollywood park, with an even dozen thoroughbreds head ed by the Circles stables Hysterical, ranked as the next most important of the other stakes. The five year old i:ace call gelding was given high weight Of l26 pounds for the one mile jaunt.

 New York, May 30-(UP)-Proni- ising unprecedented team rivalry, the intercollegiate 4.A track and field championships opened today ct Randals Island Stadium with a record entry of fl colleges.
 Pittsburgh, defending champion, and New oYrk U. were slight co-fa- voriteS in this two-day free-for-all, but they were threatened by several other robust contenders.
 Chief of these were Penn State, last years runner-up; Fordham, in- tercollegiate indoor champion: Pennsylvania the heptagonal champ, and Rhode Island State, the New England ruler.
 Pitt, winner with % 1-2 points last year at Harvard stadium without taking an individual first place, again seems to have the best ball. anced team. Coaches believe that 1t can register points in 10 Of the l6 events. Scoring is on a 5-4-3-2-1 basis for five places in all events.
 Stand0uts
 Harold Stickel and Bill Carter may earn Pitt IS to IS points be- tween them in the sprints, low hur- dles and broad jump. Other prob- able Pitt scorers are Del Anderson in the S80; Walter Sterner. two- mile; Jim Elliott, Javelin; Dave Me- Dowell. high jump; Doyl Rhoades and Maurice Jessup, pole vault, and the mile relay quartet.
 Today's program comprised only the qualifying tests for II events. Tomorrow's schedule includes all l6 finals and an exhibition race i'll which Greg Rice of South Bend. Ind. will try to break the world record in the two-mile Mel Trutt and Ralph Schwarzkopf will run against him. A crowd of 5000 was expected today, and 10000 tomor- row.

 New York, May 3o-(UP)-Short shorts from the baseball circuit:
 A Missouri Schoolmarm from the other end Of the state has been chalked up with an assist for the St. Louis Cardinais' red-hot pace these days. Back in Atherton, Mo, 10 or 12 years ago there was 6 grade school boy who could throw c ball 50 fast nobody in town could hang on to 1t when he lined Up at pitching distance. Except the lads own brother.
 Their gchoolteacher, Miss Fran ceS Montgomery, decided an arm like that should be put to use pitching baseball and also that Q boy who could atch e burning hot fast one should be no place other than behind the plate. The strong arm youngSter, Morton Cooper, and the effective little catcher, brother Walker, followed the teacheT's orders and made good to such an extent that this year marked their reunion as baseball's top-hight brother battery.

 were no SLOW MOTION pictures of the disputed sixth round shown to people throughout the country, who did not attend the Louis-Baer bout in Washington?
