THE PATTON COURIER MYSTERIOUS RACING CAR TO COMPETE AT ALLTOONA MEET The mysterious front wheel drive ra- cing car whose every detail has been cloaked in mystery since its construc- tion several months ago at Los Angel- es, California, by Harry Miller, cele- brated American engineer, is to com- pete in the International Speed Sweep- stakes at the Altoona Speedway on Saturday, August 18th. Ralph Hepburn, former world motor- cycle champion, who has won renown in the past three years as a pilot of racing automobiles, was named by Mil- ler as the driver of the unique car, It is said by racing authorities to be one of the fastest ever built. Rumors of the special car being built by Miller were heard last spring short- ly after the late Frank Lockhart began his preparations at Daytona Beach to set a new world straight-away rec- ord, and while no known tests were held on any course, experts declare the ar would surpass the phenomenal mark set by Lockhart a year ago at Miuroc Lake of 171 miles an hour. Lockhart’s car and this new develop- ment of Miller's genius are both of only 91 cubic inch piston displacement, which is about half the power space in a Ford motor. Lockhart’s was of the conventional rear-wheel drive design. Engineer already gathered at Altoona from all over the country for the Au- gust 18th classic say that the rumored intense speed of Miller's new car must be due to the huge super charger, which can be seen projecting above the gleaming motor, and the intricate air cooling device which permits motor speeds in excess of 8000 revolutions a minute. The new car is expected to make its first appearance on the giant board bowl at Altoona within the next few weeks. Hepburn stated he was anx- ious to begin practicing with his mount just as soon as the army of workmen has completed the elaborate program of replacements in the racing deck, being made to lessen the hazards fac- ing the drivers in their bitter contest on August 18th. The advance crews of mechanicians and other attaches have already start- ed flowing into Altoona, getting their special garages ready for the racing cars, which will begin to arrive in a few days. WHAT TO DO AT “THROUGH” STOP SIGNS JUST PLACED Motorists approaching a “through” highway are not required to stop at the warning sign, usually several yards from the intersection, but must stop just before entering the “through” highway with its heavy traffic, Sam- uel Eckels, chief engineer of the De- partment of Highways, announces. This is to dispel the confusion which some drivers are experienceing. The stop signs are placed in advance of the unction, Eckels said, to inform the motorist he is about to enter a heavily tarvelled highway and for his safety. As long as the driver halts be- fore entering the “through” highway, the requirements of the law are met. PLANS FILED FOR BRIDGE. County Engineer L. R. Owen has fil- ed with County Controller Henry L. Cannon the plans for the bridge to be built over the West Branch of the Susquehanna River, at Garman, on State Route, No. 6, between Barnesbo- ro and Cherrytree. The county conirol- ler will advertise for bids for the con- struction of the bridge and these will be received up to 10 o'clock Wednesday morning, August 22nd. The State Highway and other state departments have approved the plans for the bridge and everything is in readiness for construction, as soon as the contract has been awarded. CLUB HOUSE DESTROYED. Fire, presumably of incendiary or- igin, recently caused the destruction of the Beaverdale Sportsmen's Associa- tion large club house back of the big dam near the town. The loss is esti- mated at about $1,200, partly covered by insurance. An investigation is now under way in hope of apprehending the guilty persons. The club house was erected about 2 years ago and was large enough to house 32 cots. It is said that the Bea- verdale Sportsmen expect to erect a new club house in the near future. INJURIES PROVE FATAL. George Richardson, aged 41 years, a widower, of Miller Shaft, Portage, died at 11:45 Friday night at the Me- morial hospital in Johnstown, as the result of injuries sustained in a mine accident on July 16th, suffering a frac- ture of the pelvis. The victim also suf- fered of typhoid fever. Mr. Richardson is survived by three children, Edna, aged 18; Calvin, 16; and May, eight. His wife, May Rich- ardson, preceded him to the grave. He was employed by the Miller Shaft Coal Company. INN CLOSED BY THE COURT. Refusing an application for an in- junction against the padlocking of the Holland Inn at Hollidaysburg, Judge Marion D. Patterson, in Blair county court, has ordered the bar room or restaurant of the inn closed for one year. A bill asking padlocking pro- ceedings against the inn was present- ed early this month. REUNION ON AUGUST 11. The second annual reunion of the John Saltsgiver family will be held on Saturday, August 11th, at the Salts- giver homestead, one mile northeast of Patton. The outing will be in the form of a basket picnic and all de- scendants of the Saltsgiver family have been invited to attend. —Adam Showalter and his son, Ray- mond, of near Altoona ,were injured last week while loading hay: The son fell from a hay ladder suffering a shoulder fracture.
