! ARTISTS II? BUSINESS . .
3. A few years hence, according to a writer in a recent issue
5 of The American Architect, every business msin will be an
arUst, This will he; it seems, not because of any sudden
flowering of a latent creative impulse, hut because he is
-rapidly learning that beauty has a high sales value. Eeauti
Pful things sell' bettor-than ugjy things. Everybody is. going
jfjto have to fall in line.
s ; "This all means," says the writer, "that soon a new gener
ation will 'bo inrpur midst, a generation with a fine conception
Kof art and beauty, a conception so fine that it will pervade
j,,all business, ,Andtso, the business man brought up in. this
I auuuspmjKe must m necessity ue nimseit an artist tf He is
to survive the, stern competition of a business world actuated

INDIANA POLIb, Ind. By NBA Serv
ice) May 2S Backyard and cross
roads automotive engineers have
I swelled the entry list for the 600-
mile Memorial day race at the In-
Ulanapolls motor speedway to tho
largest total In the history of this
i classic.
New specifications, Inaugurated last
, year ana maae even mora elastic mis
year, have - proved an incentive for
j obscure motor builders with heads
full of Ideas but with weak bank
, balances.
Now It Is possible for embryo race
stars to take any stock car and for
a few hundred dollars make it a con
tender for monoy and honors In the
greatest auto race in America.
Take Russell Snowberi'er for In
stance, The Philadelphia chauffeur
who piloted Duesenbergs and Mil
lers lor many a year aectuea to Duua
his own car last year. He chote a
well-known brand of stock car.
He buUt the chassis and body,
bought tires, paid all his expenses
and reported at the starting Jin the
morning of the race, after qualifying
at the amazing speed of 205 miles
an hour, with a total cost account of
$1466.
Mukes Good Allowing
"Most of the money I Bpent was
on the body and chassis," Snow
berger explains. "I have been work
ing on fine racing motors for many
years. So that the only expense of
the motor, after the original cost,
was the knowledge and experience
I put In it. Since I already had
that Jcnowledge and experience It
really didn't cost much."
Biiowbcnfer nluccoj his home-made
car in eighth place hi the big rjice
and won 61600 In prize money. Then
he competed' tu eight other races,
finishing In seven of them second
five times. In all he won approxl
mately $10,000 In prize money.
"Tho only expense there -was on
my motor the entire -racing season
after I left . Indianapolis was $1.26
for a cylinder head, gasket," says
Snowberger, "It really was a suc
cessful racing season for me.
"Now I have my car at Indianan-
olls ready for the ifcce this month,
It's all ready to run and It is about
six miles an hour faster than It was
last year due principally to the
fact that I can use a oarburetor for
every two cylinders Instead of one
oarburetor for each four cylinders as
In last year's specifications.
Winner jCost $5,000
"You have to give these- motors
gasoline to drink If you want them to
drive the cars foster," he declared.
. Billy Arnold's victory car last
year cost approximately $26,000 as
it i .ew away irom its pole position
at the start of the race. It was an
eight-cylinder, front wheel drive
Miller-Hurt Special. Harry Miller
originally buUt the car, but many
Innovations were put in working
Ing star and rated as one of the fin
est mechanics In racing.
"It was money in the bank for us
10 nave inat much money tied up
In that car though," laughs Arnold.
"We won nearly $50,000 with It the
first race and approximately a like
sum in following events durlne the
avuauu. x sir, mat naoy paid dividends.
"Then we have it a pain thin vnr
And I don't think there will be
mjjy. boys throwing rubber In. my
iu;u as i, iiasn around ine traci:
in it this year. Mavbe thev will. But
j, ,ii vermmiy no surprised ji they
do."
But Snowberger had more fun and
amusement with his own home-made
moneymaker than almost anybody in
the race last year.

g . A HEALTHIER LIFE
V: One of the favorite dreams of this scientific ago has been
j that human life, at some time in the near future, will be
' measurably lengthened. The "average life span" that we
hear so much about has been stretched in the past generation
or so; but most of us have a lurking hope that it will ovon
h tually go far beyond the scriptural three score and ton.
However, experts on such matters are a' bit dubious about
h: it. For example, Lee K. Frankel, of the Metropolitan Life
j-' Insurance company, recently told the American Philosophical
I' society that the actual number of years which an individual
; now can -attain will probably never be much greater than it
i is now.
' Still Mr. Frankel is an optimist. Human beings of the
ll future may not live much longer than human beings of today,
but lie believes they will bo a great deal healthier. They will
support fewer hospitals and orphan asylums, and their doc-
tors will be busier preventing disease than curing it.
I And this, after all, is about all that any sensible man would
I hope for. Tho yearning for everlasting life seems to be one
of .mankind's fundamental traits, but it is always assumed
t that immortality will be enjojyed in another world than this,
jj The earth has too many imperfections; few people care to
; linger on it indefinitely.
But the mere length . of one's earthly existence is not a
'1 PVlmo consideration. Whether we are to have fifty years or
4 twice fifty, the most important question is, what 'are those
years going to lie like? In promising better health for our

WASHINGTON, May 28 (A1) The

today applied to the Interstate com

operate over tracks of the Southern
Pacific in Klamath county, Oregon.
The operation, for a distance of

Great Northern of the necessity , of
building a portion of a new line'
which has been authorized to run
from Klamath Falls, Ore., to Keddie,

The Southern Pacific, the petition
