Invention of a new alphabet for radio, land and submarine
telegraphing, which would be mo/o accurate and 2.65 times faster j
than the old code lirst used by Porfeesor S. F. II. Morse, inventor
of telegraph, has been announced by Major-General George O.
Seiuier, Chief Signal Officer of the United States Army. General
Squitr said the o'ld alphabet was slow, crude and often limes inac
curate. The new alphabet, he said, would approach the ideal, us
ing an alternating current in a stcudy stream, through the adop
tion of signals of the same length. In the new alphabet, he de
clared, dots, daches and spaces would be defferentinted by varying
intensities of the senusodiul wave, used in the same way that
music and speech are formed. This photograph shows the now
alphabet machine and a sample of the code system transmitted i
with the new alphabet.

INDIAN1 A!POLLS, May 23 (By Am
fiOclated Press )—-The greatest crowd
that ever w-itneased a sporting event
will attend the annual international
500-mtle ::utomi.'bile race here, May
30, in the opinion of officials of the
Indian'aipoita Malar Speedway, where
■the event will be held.
Last year's crowd, anncunc d as
135,000, will be topped by 15,000 this
month-end. if the advance sale indi
cates anything,, it was said. The
sales to date were de fared to he
many thousand ahead of the mark at
this itirne last year.
There aro three new c’.om :i -
iwhlch tend to nftke the coming event
the most interesting in years. They
are: More foreign entries sines
1914; the initial trials of racing mo
tors of not 'mors than 112 cubic
inches piston dli. i; lavement—only
about two-tihirds as Largo as tiis
smallest motor in pleasure ears in
the United States—-and the introduc
tion of rotary valve engines in the
racing game.
The apeedway track, which has!
been declared by many leading driv
ers to be the "apantiest” course in
the country, is oval in shape. Each J
tap Is equivalent to 2Vi> miles, re-j
quirinig 200 laps for the 500 miles.
The bed at the course, is brick. The
straightaways aro 3,301 feet long,
there aro 1,320 feet of quarter circles
at each of the four bonds, and 040
feet of shbnt straightaways between
the curves.
Handling the enormous crowd
which annually throngs to Indian
apolis every year for the rac Is an]
easy nrabter now, due to the ej
portence gained in the past. Months
a hoed of time private homes are can
vassed for space rooms and. with the
hotels, the30 aro listed for the benefit
of visitors. The hotels usually are
filled by reservations made months
before the race, and tills year is no
excerption.
Cooperating with the city authori
ties, the speedway management sees
ito it that every street and road
feeding to the tr ;ck is marked so
'that too visi.tora cannot get lost.
From early morning until the crowd
h i's re;: -h; I the speedway, several
of the main reads are glvten over to
one way tra3f!c, permitting five and
six machines to drivty abreast. Trac
tion and train service operating from
the center of the city every few min
utes care for the thousands who use
that method ol' reaching the course.
One.' at the speedway, the people
are turned over to an ‘'army" of
attendants. These men are exper
eneed in h inlling'the gigantic crowd, i
for mod of thorn li two been doing the j
work for years. There U no can-j
fusion, en ranee gates all around the i
plant enabling a sufficient liviaian'
of tiie ci wl. It is a rire oceurreneci
for one to be seated in the wrong
place, r i vv 11 trained are the attend-!
ants, who hi addition to th dr several!
years of experience at the course, j
are given a about two weeks of special!
hrat motion each year just prior to!
if be race.
Jtmtmy Munphy, interna- anal driv i
ing ellanuplon anil declared to he th«!
most oom-iistent winner in all racing 1
history, will be a starter. He arrived1
at the track early this year to pro-j
pare his nrw single-scatter for thej
gruelling contest. Howdy Wilcox, ■
Indianapolis pilot; Ttulph De Palma,
for yrars the moat popular driver tO|
come here; Kddio Hoarne, Cliff Du
rant. Joe Hover and other veterans
will compete for the $50,000 in prizes.
In addition, there will be drivers
frwm France, Argentina and Germany.
The course record, eshaiblished last
year by Murphy, is slightly better
than an average of !I4 miles an hour
for the 500 miles

INTERSECTIONAL
SPORTS OPPOSED
BY MICHIGAN MEN
ANN ARBOR, Mich.. May 23—(By
Associated Press.) —»Intersections!
b'tihleltie contests 'find small favor
with Fidlding H. Yost, director of
athletics at Michigan. Replying to
recent criticism of Michigan's with
drawal from the Eastern Collegiate
A. A., and the Eastern intercollegiate
track and field meet in New York;
May 25 and 26. Yost gave two rea-j
sons why he opposes intersectiona 1,
competition for the Maize and Blue, j
# Michigan's natural athletic oppo-j
newts, he declared, 'are in the West-|
era Conference, and he believes the'
Wolverines' relations should be lim
ited largely to these opponents. He
cited (proximity and mutual regard as
the basis for this opinion.
Declaring that athletics are anlj
always should be but a contr'bui try1
factor to the main purpose cf cel-1
lege work, that of educating and Pit-,
ting youths for their life's work.j
Yost pointed out that Michigan's;
regular schedule will take members t
cf the trick squad away from classes!
as much as he considers safe and i
consistent.
“The whale matter,” Y»3t declared,
“resolves Itself, 'as before, to the
natural and most feasible selection
of opponents We know each other;
in the Middle West and we can read-j
dly reach each Other. There Is nvu-1
tual regard among us. Perhaps in |
the Bast we would be strangers.”
