VACUUM OIL COMPANY One of the nomahes of big league racing is Ray Keech.

Nobody out side of very narrow dirt trade circle the east had ever beard of Ray Keech until a year ao. On April 22 the world ef. speed was startled by wora rrom Daytona Beach, na that Keech. Aboard the White Triplex, had broken the mile straightaway record set by Malcolm Campbell, of England. in his Bluebird, on February 19 of that year.

Keech steered the ponderous thirty six cylindered Triplex over the same sands Campbell ran and raised Campbell's record from 206.95 miles an hour to 207.59 miles an hour. Keech became or less famous overnight. Comma to Indianapolis he bought one of Frank Lockhart's cars the one that Frank himself had Intended to drive in the 1929 500 mile race. With th car Keech was smart enough to take over Jean Marcenac, wno had been one of Lockhart's mechanics, Keech did not show anything wonderful in practice before the race, but he did well enough for a driver who had never seen the course. In the race be finished fourth.

In spite of fact that he drove half of It with gasoline from leaking tank squirting on his leg and literally cooking it. From Indianapolis year Keech moved to Detroit, where ta a 100 mile race on a mile track he cleaned the boards and won In the fastest average ever made In a 100 mile race on that track. At Salem. N. on July 4.

he won the big race there. He won the Syracuse N.Y.) race, 100 miles, on the mile dirt track at the New York state fair on September 1. Besides these wins, he placed well In other events. He finished the year In second place in the championship Keech apparently has no more nervous system than a clam. He never fools around his car while Marcenac Is on It.

"Jean certainly knows his stuff." he said to the writer. That's hi end of the business, to get the car ready. He never interferes in my work, so why should I Interfere in his. Certainly no car ever ran any better for any one than my Simplex Special does. Keech ha not yet brought his car to the track.

It has been at the Simplex Piston Ring factory In Cleveland all winter. Rain at Cleveland. Keech. Louie Meyer and others who went to Cleveland to race Sunday were rained out, The 100 mile race scheduled win be run next Sunday. Same at Indianapolis.

Pete win carry No. 37 on his mount.

Time Is Getting Short. The seventeenth annual International sweepstakes Is two weeks off from Thursday and to date there has not been much track activity. Either the boys have everything ready, or feel that when they finish rebuilding the cars now lying In part all over the garage there wont be much else to be done. Some of them are having their little troubles, but In the main the old drivers have their problems fairly well licked, at least In their own minds. But the first of next week at the latest the speedway win be buzzing like 100 swarms of bees, with every one anxious to get the final oke on the car and have It laid away and ready for the starters flag after a spin through 'the elimination trials.

And It be elimination this year, not qualification. With only thirty three cars permitted to start, the driver not only has' to average ninety miles an hour around the two and one hali miie track lor lour laps, but he has to go faster than about twelve others If he wants to get into the race. There are bound to be some bitterly disappointed drivers after elimination with forty five cars tered. It Rains Money.

JOVl Mtnneoi GIGAR smoke has no bad effect upon the nerves, because the cigar is made only of the purest and finest of tobaccos cured wind and sun needing, no flavoring or curing with any foreign substances to make them smokeabie. It is such substances, appar ently harmless adulterants, tiiatproSicer when smoked chemical union with tobacco, two irritants known as Fur rural and Acrolein. These, when in haled into the lungs, are the main cause of nerve irritation, decreased vitality, and other complaints which doctors ascribe to the smoking of to baccos other than the cigar. Since the cigar contains no adulterants of any kind, its smoke cannot produce these irritants. Therefore, it has no destructive action upon the nerves.

In consequence, the cigar smoker is free from any slavish craving. Nor need cigars be inhaled.
