The interest that the coming automo-
bile endurance race from Chicago to st.

number of inquiries about the race and
its conditions, and says in part:
In Japan we already have road tours
with the automobile. / have two big
touring cars of American make in my
country and have taken one grand prize
with one of them. l ran a car through
