Burned, and with hair singed, and clothes in sheds, Charles Jones fi- nally emerged from a burning trestle bridge pulling a battered and flame- scarred racing car behind him. The flames still roared about him, yet he seemed unconcerned, This was the third time this scene was attempted by the William Fox company on location for scenes in “Skid Proof. The action was to take Jones across a burning trestle bridge, during his attempt to win the cup given to the winner of the| Transcontinental Auto Race Twice before, camermen were sta- tioned around the bridge oil w poured and the action stated. Twice the flames got beyond control, ob- soured the action, swept the actors and ruined the film. The director, Scott Dunlap, was beginning to de- spair, The third attempt was suc- cessful, however, but the star's ac- cumulation of burns from the three efforts rendered him faint. He was taken to a local hospital, where his burns were administered to. He left the hospital three days later, and re- sumed work on the picture. This picture is being shown for today only at the Iris theater. The story concerns an impulsive young man who runs a race, loses, and runs into his ideal girl. She is a movie actress, but Jack has no ob- jections. In fact, he expresses his approval by becoming a movie actor. Lura Anson is ine—his ideal girl. | OLDSMOBILE SIXES IN NEW MODELS | USE CARE TO KEEP ALCOHOL IN RADIATORS, By SPARK PLUG. During the cold winter months, it is practically impossib]s for the motorist to overestimate the import- ance of keeping plenty of alcohol in the radiator at all times. Noth- ing can cause more trouble within a short length of time, than a faulty radiator, and one of the easiest ways to put your radiator and in fact your whole car on the downward path is to freeze up the radiator “good and tight.” i The best authority upon radiator problems is the fil'ing station man, the courteous attendant who daily fills your gasoline tank, your crank case, and your radiator. Go to him, and request the proper mixture of alcohol and water for a given tem- perature. It is altogether likely that he will be able to give you the cor rect figures to the letter. Above all, watch the alcohol and never let the mixture fall below the prescribed amount. You will be spared a world of grief. eer eee All of the 1,500 varieties of grapes grown in Europe were originally from one species of vines. ed Rain coats of long grasses are ‘worn in damp parts of Mexico to keep off insects as well as rain.

The men who would be most benefited by the enforce- ment of the penalty now come for- eward and request that Mr. Murphy's Points be allowed. “The requests of speedway man- agers and race drivers made of the affl of a spirit of clean sportsmanship I have ever witnessed,” said Chair- man Mack of the contest board. Mr. Murphy's competitor drivers would naturally benefit in future races from a penalty imposed on him. Speedway managers have suffered in gate receipts in the loss of the drawing card which the inclusion of the name of Jimmy Murphy in the list of entrants would have given in the racing events held during the ab- sence of Murphy in Europe. Al! of us as Americans are proud of the splendid record which Jimmy Mur- phy made in the European grand prize races and have a profound ad- miration of Murphy’s gameness dis- played in the grand European prize event at Monza, Italy. It will be re- called that Jimmy Murphy drove the greater part of the long race at Monza with a broken foot brake. Notwithstanding this great handicap he finished third. pissed Ea? UR SA 9 ABOLISH SIGN SYSTEM FOR THE DEAF MUTES By JOHN O'BRIEN. (United Press Staff Correspondent.) PARIS—{By Mail to United Press) —Sign language for deaf mutes is a thing of the past. Remarking that deaf and dumb persons are able to “read” the words expressed by normal people by _ lip-reading, French scientists have deduced that it wolu dbe only a ste pto have those unable to hear or speak to adopt the same method to express their thoughts. In other words, those so afflicted are taught to make with their lips the same combinations as those which they are already able don to translate, thus transmitting their unspoken words to those similarly to anybody acquainted with the system.

Fleming and by the mayor of New Orleans and the chamber of commerce of that city to hold the seml-ann al meeting of the associa- ns Mardi Gras in March was also accepted, Jimmy Murphy can a be penaliz in regard to ¢ham- pionship points for his leaving the United States while American cham- pionship contests were being held, according to the announcement of the decision of the contest board of the American Automobile associa- tion made here today by Joseph Mack of Detroit, chairman of the board. Previous action of the con- test board of the A. A. A. which is the official race contro! body in the United States in taking away the championship points from Murphy for leaving the United States and thereby failing to participate in the championship events he'd at various tracks during his absence in Europe was rescinded in response to numer- ous requests from other race drivers and speedway managers who were the most directly affected by the failure of Jimmy Murphy to enter various race events. “Through the recent action of the contest board the race standing of the noted race driver will not be im- paired and his polnts will be re-in- stated to the original position held prior to his leaving this country for europe,” exclaimed Mr, H, A. Crosel- mire, vice chairman of, the contest board. “The rules of the contest board governing the failure or refusal of a race driver to enter officially sanc- tioned events of the class in which the driver is listed without good and sufficient reasons and the penalty fixed are very p’ain,” said Mr. Cros- elmire. The wisdom of such rules for making race meets real cham- pionship events is quite obvious to to build the cars with ev: all followers of clean sport. When realize should be used, M Murphy left for Europe, the contest board felt that it was proper that this rule should be i~voked as tested in America.
