Indianapolis Track; May
Be His Last Bace.
Indianapolis, Ind , May 6 Back In J
1901, two men started to fame Henry ,
Ford and Harne Oldfield Ford was
trying; to build a racing- car Barney ;
was with him trying to build a career
as a race driver. The answer Is obvious
Is Barney Oldfield going to drive at
the sixth annual international sweep-
stakes race. May 30T T K Myers, i
manager, shook his head and ansnered '
"no" But that v. as yesterday Today
he can hear the applause of tens of
thousands of people when the eteran
of veterans appears upon the track, I
for the Indefatigable Barney Is go- I
ing to drive. His mechanician. It. O. I
Dashbach, has arrived in Indianapolis
unannounced and has Barney's car, a
foreign, built Oelage, unloaded and at
the speedwa) track, '
Those who know Barney are ben II
dered at such tactics There is a go:d .
for him to get his car In on the
grounds earl without much advance
press agency. Is not orthodox It lends
credence to the suspicion that Barnev
is tired of being kidded about "alio
running," ,and Is out at last to show
the crowd of younger drivers who hae
usurped hlg place on the front page
that the original automobile driver
of U S A. has sufficient punch left to
win the Indianapolis International
classic
Dashbach says that this Is Oldfield's
last race, his last public appearance,
and that Oldfield proposes unoquho
cally to win and crown his racing
career with what Is considered the
highest achievement In automobile

The following practical vulcanizing
hints are taken from the Goodyear Tire
News, house organ of the Goodyear
Tire and Rubber company
On a peel-back section where the
tread is cut at one end and peeled
all one way, mark off on the tiro the
length of the tear and the position of
the layers of fabric to be removed, ,
snowing the length of the section when
completed.
About two Inches beyond the end of
the section make the cut for the peel-
back When the repair is completed,
this method gives the extra strength
of the tread and breaker over the joint
of the section wnere it is most needed.
In building up peel-back sections,
build up the side walla, bringing them
slightly up on the tread, before the
peel-back tread la laid down When
the repair Is completed tne treat over
laps the edge of side-walls preventing
peeling when run In ruts
After the cushion gum has been
thoroughly stitched down on peel
backs and tread repairs roughen
slightly by using the stitcher side
ways wash with cloth dampened In
gasoline When drj, the cushion will
be much more adhesive than when
used smooth
In building up small tread repairs,
cut a piece of tread gum sufficient to
fill the hole Fold the piece, rolling
out the air at the same time, until It
is smaller man the hole to be filed and
a little thicker than its depth. Heat
on a tube plate until the gum begins
to soften While It is still soft, work
into the repair using a stitcher to draw
It to the edges Trim offto the proper
height With a little practice the right
amount of gum can be Judged very
closely, reducing waste scraps to a
minimum and saving a great deal of
time. ,

agance incident to its use In the present
day interna combustion engine an un
limited supply of fuel is available from
the waste produ te of the forests of the
world, according to Howard F Weiss.
director of the tnlted States forct
products Iaborator V tdison Wis Mr
Weiss has Jnt completed experiments
extending oer a period of three eam
and made a formal report to the Fcdei al
government The Inauguration of the
experiments was noted in Motor Age
and the Automobile at the time
The Madison laboratory produced 59
to 35 gallons of grain alcohol from one
ton of sawdust and the cost ran be
tween 13 and 15 cents per gallon. The
alcohol Was OS percent pure The lum
ber product annually in the Inited
States Is 40.000 000,000 feet Using only
the waste of the sawmills, it is est
mated by Mr Weiss that 500 000 i oo
gallons of alcohol can be manufactured
each year Mr. Weiss said
"There is no question in my mind
that the production of alcohol will de
velop a gigantic industry
'The advantages in favor of alcohol
for power purposes are manifold. When
you take petroleum from the ground
it Is lost forever Trees multiply We
now have in sight a half billion gallons
of alcohol each year, while our visible
supply of gasoline is rapidly dimm

"You cannot run a motor car as fa
on a gallon of alcohol as you can oa
gasoline with the present type of en
gine, but with alterations and improve
ments, so that they will stand a higher

ergy of alcohol will equal that of gas
