The vet eran Barney Oldfield has aiways been an admirer and counsellor of Champ Tommy.

Jules has not picked his team-mate but expects a prominent American pilot to drive his extra car. Goux was third In 1914, third in 1919 and failed to finish in 1920. In all his prevous races he drove a biue Peugeot. VETERAN FILES Ralph Mulford, known as “The Smiler,” is one of the oldest drivers racing in the number of years of service. He started with the old Losier team in the days when dirt track, read. and hill events made up the speed calendar. He has never missed an Indianapolis race meet, and in 1911 finished wecond to Ray Harroun, the Marmon star. He finished third in 1916, driving a Peugeot. INDIANAN LISTED Roscoe Saries, one of the younger drivers, is a favorite of the Hoosier fans, being an Indiana son. He & a daring driver and does not spare himself.

D., Presi- lent of The International Society of Applied Psychology, a tre- mendous thinker with a real message of benefaction for mankind, will be heard at Masonic Auditorium in the first of his Culture Lecture Studies on 7:30 P. M—‘“How to Live on 24 Hours a Day.” 8:00 P. M—“The Mastery of Fate.” @ This initial lecture is given out with all the dynamic force and uplift that has brought its author fame on two continents. @ Dr. Miller goes far beyond his contemporaries in the field of psychological research, pointing out with profound learning and infallible logic the underlying and changeless causes of success and failure, of health and of disease. He uncovers with merciless anal- ase fallacies and traditions that enslave and cripple the human mind, @ The fervor of his belief, the wonderful mellifluous voice, the surpassing oratory and the uniqueness of expression make him a Crusader, a Billy Sunday, a Henry Ward Beecher, Robert Inger- soll orator and a Mythical Mahatma—all united in one. @I have heard many in the audience declare the force of his ora- tory and the vibrancy of his being affected them like some tonic- shower of the sun's rays. Be that as it may, his public platform work is the best advocate of his system of maintaining vitality and compelling personality. In the record of holding his audience he ranks with H Lauder ; and William Jennings Bryan. But, whereas the one must hold with j song and the other with oratory, Dr. Miller must hold with in- struction—a much more difficult task. Yet I have witnessed Dr. Miller hold his audience spellbound for two hours every evening k for three weeks in succession. In his weekly series on SCIENTIFIC LIVING, beginning Tues- y night, May 23, Dr. Miller takes his audience step by step through a system of breathing, exercise, diet and thinking, and finally initiates them into the great art of growing better brains. Here is Miller, T.N.T. He says: “It is as easy to grow brains as carrots, and they bring a higher price in the market. What is meant by growing brains is simply to improve those we have. Through brains alone the ambitious human being climbs the ladder of achievement.” This is the age of specialization. We should all desire a Gillette finish on our brains. They alone lead us to success, Are you a success? Wherein are you lacking in the attainment of your highest ideals? @To Business and Professional Men, to Teachers, Students, Work- ers, Mothers and Fathers, I proffer you the invitation to hear this modern Emerson at his best.
