Ohio | "Ainrrha's I,a tier at Kidnahr Tlrr mid Mm Makers 1 ' SATURDAY EVENING, Additional Drivers For Indianapolis Speedway When the enlry list for the sixth un nual international sweepstakes race, to |be held 011 the Indianapolis motor speedway May SO, closed at midnight 1 May 1 with thirty cars entered there were three drivers who were not I nemed, although the cars were en tered. Since then it is rumored that one of these cars, a Delage, owned by Harry Harkness, of New York, will he driven by Jules Devigne. This infor mation is not official, but it is accepted as a matter of course, because Devigne is to drive the third Delage car at New j York. The other Delage drivers in this team of three cars are Jack I LeCain and Carl Limberg. The second Sunbeam car. which was shipped from London for the Indianapolis race, is to be driven by an Italian, it is said, by the name of Aldo Franehi. This is a new name in racing circles of this country. Franehi asked for permission to show what ho could do at the wheel of a Sunbeam recently and hi» per formance was so successful that the driver of the other Sunbeam car, Josef Chrlstiaens, immediately engaged him for Indianapolis; for the Sunbeam team expects to make a clean-up with I their British cars, containing aviation motors. F. S. Deusenberg, of St. Paul, Is credited with having announced that Thomas Milton will be at the wheel of the third Deusenberg car. This is an other driver who is practically un known except in smaller barnstorm ing events, but the fact that Deusen berg has added his name to his team of three seems indicative of something in Milton that the public has not found out. The other two Deusenberg driv ers are Wilbur d'Alene and Eddie O'Donnell, the latter having started in the 1916 season by winning at Caro.ia. Milton replaces Tom Alley, who has entered a car of his own at Indian apolis called the Ogren Special. The mechanician is the second fiddler in the cylinder orchestra on the Indianapolis motor speedway. The newspaper photographer is interested only in the man at the wheel, and if the car wins, the glory goes to the driver, even though the mechanician had a dangerous and important task— pumping oil, watching for signals, and a long list of tiresome duties. The names of these men are not popu larly known as the names of the driv ers, although many of these mechan icians have been in every important race for years. It is a notable fact that in accidents the average for in juries is higher among mechanicians than among drivers. This is said to be partly due 1o the fact that the driver has the wheel to keep him from being tossed from the car or to protect him in case the car turns turtle, while the mechanician is exposed. Follow j ing are the names of some of the mechanicians who have been an nounced by' their drivers for the race at Indianapolis.

The Hupp concern is continually getting re quests from dealers and distributors for men and those standing best in these examinations will be recommend ed. Economy in Car Operation Depends on the Driver "It is really surprising the difference in service people get out of their tires and inner tubes." commented Charles Ensminger, local distributor of the Dort car, to-day. "Of course the Dort being a light car and well over tired, we get a good many reports of big tire mileages. Some of them you would hardly believe; but it is not at all un usual to have owners record mileages of seven and eight thousand miles, and the factory has cases where this has been almost doubled. "The owner who wants a big tire mileage along with it, if he will ob serve a few simple rules, and one of the most important of these lies in the way he stops and starts his car. Just note that man pulling up in front. See how he shut off his power almost a rod away and just coasted up to the curb. He saved gas, his tires and his car all at once. Now note that fellow. See how he has driven right up to the curb and then Jammed on his brakes. His car slid a foot, or more, and in that one time he put more wear and strain on his rear tires than a mile's ordinary driving. "The matter of starting your car is another important feature, if you would have your tires wear long. Al ways start away from the curl) slowly. Just ease in your clutch and glide away. In this way the back wheels do not revolve uselessly two or three turns and grind the rubber tread off your rear tires. Sudden starting and stopping is not only hard on tires, but it is bad for the whole car. "Ingoing around corners care should be taken to take the turns easily and smoothly, and slow down before you get to the corner. Going around a corner at fifteen or twenty miles an hour puts a fearful strain on the tire fabric and invites early blow-outs. The man who does this Is simply working for the tire companies, al though he may not realize It. Keep the .small stone cuts in your casings filled with some good tire filler. This will keep out water and oil, two of the worst enemies to tire fabric, and put hundreds of extra miles on every cas ing. Get in the habit of looking for these small cuts and tilling them up every week or so. Then there is the matter of inner tubes. Oil will ruin an inner tube in a week. Don't, throw your extra inner tubes in promiscuous ly with your spare tools and your oil can. Wrap them carefully in cloth or, better still, get a couple of good strong cloth bags for them. Some of the tire companies supply these bags free or they can be made at home with very little trouble. "But the real big rule of all is, keep your tires blown up to the proper pres sure recommended by the maker. Sup ply yourself with a good pressure gauge and. be sure that it is accur ate, and then use it. "If motorists would' observe these few simple rules and occasionally read some of the literature published by the tire companies, they wotild find that their tires would last them a whole lot longer and that most of their tire troubles that have been taking the fun out of their trips would disappear for good."

Stout Appointed Sales Manager For Scripps-Booth In line with the usual progress which is being made at the Scripps- Booth factory, under the new man agement of Clarence H. Booth, comes the announcement of the appointment of William B. Stout to the position of general sales manager, taking the place of R. H. Spear, resigned. Mr. Stout was first known as engi neer for the Scripps-Booth Company during the design period of the luxur ious light roadster for which the or ganization has become famous. The originality of the car, with its wide ap peal in a new field, made the Scripps- Booth Company at once a factor in De troit motorcar cricles. When the car was ready for distribution, Mr. Stout was placed in charge of advertising. Scripps-Booth advertising within a year was as much talked about and copied as was the car, this, too, being accomplished from an appeal of orig inality and a new spirit of progress. Scripps-Booth affairs have been en tirely reorganized; the new building is completed, and production under a new system is now under way. Changes in the organization are but an indi cation of extreme activity at the Scripps-Booth plant, which offers 11 great promise of a record production for this plant for next month. A MOVIK FOK DESSKRT If you can imagine a jitney movia show without the necessity of laying down the cold cash before you enter the theater, you will understand the kind of entertainment that is to Vie provided every noon tifter May 15 for the employes of the Sparks-Witlilng ton Co. The best moving: picture ma chine that could be found has been purchased by the Jackson concern and high class releases will be shown daily for the amusement and diversion of the workmen. "It is my fondest ambition," said William Sparks, general manager, "to make the Sparks-Witjiington Company the best company of its kind in the country. In order to do this co operation is necessary. We want to ba fair in all things and 1 want to say now that if any man is not satisfied with the treatment he is being ac corded by his foreman, the efficiency department or the superintendents, that my door is always open and that I will be glad to talk the matter over with him and make any adjustment that fairness dictates." Free moving pictures will be shown Saturday afternoon in the dining room of the Sparton plant if the families of the workmen desire them.
