Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 17. Tho
entry list for the .fourth annual 600
mile International Sweepstakes race
which w ill be staged at the Indianapolis
- Motor Speedway, Saturday, May -30.
: 1914, is now open, entry blanks for the
event having been Issued today. Al
though last year the list was not for
mally opened until January X, manu-
faoturera and other prospective en
trants have displayed so much interest
in the coming event that it was deemed
advisable by the 'Speedway manage-
tion by securing entries as early as pos-
Bible. The list will close May 1.
There is no doubt that the event
.. scheduled for 1914 will eclipse every
other ''race meet held on the Indianap
, oils oval, the last race having served
to stimulate interest in the speed sport
to an unusual degree. Scores of letters
have been pouring Into the Speedway
office from every part of Europe and
America and from present Indications it
would seem that American manufact
urers will make a determined effort to
Win- back the honors won during the last
euu mm race oy juies uouxt ma
frenchman, while the Europeans are
' equally determined to retain the world's
peed honors for another year.
Conditions Are Changed.
' There have been several changes In
the conditions governing (the coming
race which it Is believed will meet with
. the general approval of entrants. "The
entry : fee has been reduced from $500
to $200 with the stipulation that SO
per cent of ths fee will be refunded for
all cars that start en May 30. To tuxg
tlier insure the safety of drivers It has
also been ordained that all steering
knuckles and tie rods must be new two
days before the starting bf the race,
while aluminum steering wheels will
not be permitted.
Frame hangers and steering mechan
ism shall be subject to the approval of
the Indianapolis Motor Speedway me
chanical erurineer, and cars failng to
met approval will not be allowed to
start. All drivers. Including relief
drivers, must furnish the referee with a
certificate from the Speedway surgeon.
Dr. H. R. Allen, proving that they are
phvslcally fit to engage in such a con
test and that they are entirely ' free
from any serious nervous manifesta
tions or other disorders which might
prove a handicap. Physical conditions
Justifying the refusal of such a certif
icate will disbar drivers from the race,
prises Are tame.
The regular prises hung up for the
coming race will be the same as those
last year. A purse of $50,000 will be
offered, this to be divided Into 10 purses,
the first prize being $20,000. The
Wheeler-Schebler cup, the Remy Grand
Brassard and trophy and the Prest-O-Ltte
trophy will also be offered again,
the' wneeler-Scheble cup going to the
entrant of the car which is first at 400
miles, the Prest-O-Llte trophy being
won by the entrant of the cor which is
first at 300 miles while the Remy
Grand trophy will be awarded to the
entrant of the car which is first at 200
miles, -
The driver of this car will receive the
Remy Grand Brassard, and If Remy tg
nltlon is employed, the driver will re
ceive $50 a week for 20 consecutive

In furtherance of the Howard service
long since installed by the Howard Au
tomobile Co., Pacific coast distributors
for Bulck and National cars, a unique
school was held in this city during the
last part of the week..
A stripped, chassis of a Model-24
1914 Buick roadster fetpod In the show
room of the Howard Automobile Co.,
and the mechanical , workings of the
entire car, together with the Delco
generating, lighting, starting and igni
tion system, were shown-In detail.
Gathered about the chassis were a
number of the agents of the Buick
throughout the Pacific northwest, or
their representatives, the local sales
men of the company and a number of
prospective Buick buyers residing In
and about Portland.
The instructor of the school was Fred
Gross, who In company with Claude
A. McGee, broke the roa'd record from
San Francisco to Portland.
Gross bad returned to San Francisco
but two days before undertaking the
record breaking trip, and had just come
from the factory at Flint, Mich., where
he spent Several weeks' thoroughly fa
miliarizing himself with the new cars,
and more particularly with the new
electric equipment, the Delco system,
with which all 1914 cars are equipped.
Morning and afternoon sessions were
held on' both' Friday and Saturday, auJ

Trade papers and leading dailies
throughout the country published not
long ago a news item from England to
the effect that Knight sleeve valve
motors were being used with success
in London omnibus service a service
notably severe. Added Interest In ve
hicles for ths service has been arouRcd
by the recent BritiBh Commercial Ve
hicle show, where many types of
motor busses and char-a-bancs, or sight
seeing automobiles, were exhibited.
Reporting the show In Its August 7th
issue, The Automobile, one of the .lead
ing British trade papers, reviews the
'various types of busses and remarks on
the number which are equipped with
the Knight type motor, adding the fol
lowing significant comment:
'While on this subject it is worth
while to state that, according to defin
ite news published today, the big Lon
don General Omnibus company, which
has 2600 motor omnibuses on the Lon-
aon streets, dob open so tnorougniy
satisfied with the service given by' the
300 Knight rigged Daimler busses which
have been running for 12 months past
that they have decided to replace grad
ually, all the poppet engines in their
800 busses with Knight motors.
The palmier busses in question are
greatly favored by the public on ac
count of their silence and smooth-running
qualities, while the great power of
acceleration enables the driver to pick
hie way through traffic to the very
best advantage, with the result that the
Knight motor has now been selected as
standard-for future work. In view of ,
the fact that the dally run of a London j
uus is iiv iiiiini i very strenuous
work, It must be admitted that the sue
cess achieved here Is very notable Indeed."..-
.. i-.
WhUa motor omnibus service has not
raached the proportions in the United
States that It has In England and on '
the Continent, the Knight 'type motor',
has proved as successful in pleasure car
service here as abroad. More tlmn two
years ago the F. B. Stearns company of
Cleveland displayed their faith In the
sleeve valve principle by discarding the
poppet valve motor entirely and adopt-,
ing the Knight type, despite the envia
ble ' reputation built Up by the old
Stearns motor.

called to my attention statements mado
by Newman Erb, one of the keenest
flr.ifnclal men in the country, in wheh
the automobile was given due credit for
the good it has accomplished. Mr. Erb
declared that $2,000,000,000 was a con
servative estimate of tire Increased
value of form lands, due directly to the
automobile.
'A few years ago, farm lands which
were locatsd near the railroads were
worth about $75 an acre, where the land
2Q miles back could hardly be sold at
$10 an acre. .With the introduction of
the automobile, however, the latter land
was brought within a few minutes' run
of tho railroads and its value has In
creased tremendously because of this
fact. The farmer who owns an auto
mobile and lives 20 miles from a ship
ping point l today as close to the
markets of the werld as la the man
whose land Is wlthn' three or four miles
of the railroad. The automobile will
make the run to the shipping point In
l?ss time than horses take to cover
three or four miles.
"Besides eliminating distance as It
has, the automobile has wpiked an
otner tremendous influence for good in
the agricultural dstrlcts of the coun
try by demanding good roads. It Is un
iversally acknowledged that good high
ways mean Increased prosperity for the
farmer, and wherever automobiles are
owned there will good roads be found
as soon as they can be built. Many
short-sighted people have claimed that
the purchase of an automobile by a farm-
er Is an extravagance. I maintain
that It is one of the most foresighted
economies he ever Introduced and I think
the majority of the successful farmers
of the United States will agree with
me."

day of this week,, before going; on to

being leveled, debris, eleared away, and
the ground prepared aa well aa possible
about the cluster of new ecclesiastical
buildings which are rising upon Morn

- These buildings are the new Synod
hall, the Peaconess house, the Bishop's
house, the Dean's house and the Choir

aim to make the Bishop's house and the
Dean's house beautiful, appropriate for
the functions which they must perform,
dignified, and yet simple to the verge of
austerity. They have ample space and
the rooms are perfectly proportioned,
which gives the desired effect of rich
ness without luxury, dignity without
ostentation.
The cost of the buildings . and fit
