In -Mrs. Jones’ .opinion, babies still are rocked and mothers can find time to do their part of ruling the world even if they spend a large part 6f their time in nurseries.

For the third time within a year they will gather on what is consid ered the fastest track constructed, to participate iu tho dangerous pastime of driving pigmy automobiles—small er even than Fords—2so miles in less than two hours. Their first exhibitions are well re membered by all who thrilled to a new sensation of speed madness as they circled the giant bowl, their cars dinn ing and humming at a dizzy pace. The third scene of this death defying drama will be enacted under even more spectacular circumstances. Fa miliarity with the oval which bested even the veterans of the sport in their attempt to scale the almost perpendic ular banks may J>e the basis for a record produc'ug event. Then too. the new stars who have risen in the firm ament of.motor racedom—all coveting the speed purple—threaten to height en the competition for the $25,000 purse and the national championship. Once more followers of the sport will see the youthful Peter DePnolo, who leaped into fame within the year by outstripping his seasoned adversar ies in four major encounters.

In the coterie "f speed demons will be also boyish Hob McDonough who, since his appearai.ee here last May, has won a place among the speedway aces by carrying off first honors at Altoona Labor Day.

Fresh from his triumph abroad, Tommy Milton, who received the plaudits of European royalty, will display that same spirit of sport mnnehip that won for him at Monza, Italy. And with him also will be Peter Kreis, another of America’s representatives in the Grand Prix classic, who astounded the Europeans with his bursts of speed.
