The advent of rare book trading to the realm of high finance came about through Mr. Webber's in- terest in first editions and the colorful artistry of medieval book binders. He saw that « vast “in- dusgry,” whose ‘“securitics’ were listed on no exchange, owed their wwluation to unorganized, over-the- counter bargaining. Mr. Webber sells no books and buys none except for his own grow- ing collection. He is planning to leave next month for another tour of Landon's. cobwebby - corners. in sedrch of records and facts with which he is able to establish the authenticity of crumbling, stained volumes. He says his parpose is to provige an [unbiased ‘#byrce froju' which hoak collcctors.

Seventeen years agzo the first mo- tor race was held at the speedway. Once a year since then the fame and fortune that goes to the winner have lured the racers. This race is the last for single-seated machines. Next year the cars will be two-seaters, and the motors will be larger. Since 1926 the machines have been pow- ered with tiny engines of 911 cubic inch displacement. The front wheel driven machine will make its greatest bid for rac- ing fame on Memorial Day. Fif- teen of the 46 cars entered are of that type. Proponents of the front-drive car declare it is the ideal type for the vough, sharp turns of the speed- way. eliminating or holding to & minimum. the skidding and loss of apeed. Then a driver may safely pile into the turns without shutting off his gas. In fact he must do it to stay in the race. Those who favor the recar-drive point out that all the winners have been of that type .The new type ma- chine, they clainm: is too delicate to stand the gruelling 500 miles.
