Firestone Tubes Prove Firestone Economy

Firestone Inner Tubes at lower price than all other established makes may seem too good to be true. But read the price lists. See your dealer. II is a fact. None have equaled Firestone quality in tubes. You can judge that before buying.
 Firestones look quality,fe feel quality, weigh quality. The bulk of pure rubber is there.
 Then why is FIrestone lower in price2
 Specialized production on an enormous scale is one reason. The largest exclusive tire and tube factory in America cuts cost for you.

CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS Being List of the Reasons Why Five Riders Retired
 From the POO Mile Race

No. 1-Merkel Ellie Wilson. Wilson picked up a big nail in his rear tire on the back stretch. When the machine hit the rim. the jar at his terrific speed. pull ed the frame in two and broke the engine loose from it's bolts. Wilson saved fatal spill by mir aculoJs riding and was soon amb- ling sorrowfuIly across the alfal- ia.
 No 2-Merkel. Sellner. At the end of twelve miles, Sellner came in without any power. A flood of oil put his magneto out of business.
 No. 4-Indian. OConnell O. Connel broke the glass oil gauge in his crank ease. and after he had pumped his oil tank dry, froze his engine.
 No. Indian. Gerig Gerie had every sort of trouble known to racing losing oil and gas out of leaky tanks losing push rod. valve springs and other needful things His final trouble was d broken chain.
 No. 9-EXcelsior. Perry Broke lug off the inside of the crank case. putting cam mechanism out of business.

into the pits. He spent much time there at various points during the race, but always made plucky attempts to get back.
 Graves drew the smile of the change able dame first and led cleanly to the 18th mile, with Wolters and Crandail riding like Castor and PolluX in the famous star group But Ole Man Trouble called upon Marty to visit his helpers in the 18th mile.
 Lorenzo Boido went in after two miles and was followed closely by Sell ner and Montgomery again.
 Notes on the Race
 At the fifteenth mile. Graves was 2S seconds ahead of Wolters. Marty Tapped Wilson the next round, after which his shutting off as he ap- preached the curves became noticeable.
 Crandall leaped into hundred yard lead over WOlters in the 23rd mile, but when thirty laps had been reeled off, the Harley expert was leading the anna teur again Wolters held his lead until the tooth mile, when he entered the pit before crossing the tape for fuel. While refilling, Crandall again assumed the lead and held it until the 130th lap, when his team mate again went ahead and from then to the end of the con- test was never in serious danger.
 CrandalI took third at the end of the first mile and held that place until Graves stopped, then going into second place. He held his position untt the Sixtieth mile. when a stop for fuel let Gerig go into second place. Bill, the much abused rider who gets all the old scrap iron to ride, was putting up a magnificent race, and proving the met tie that's in him. Had he ridden ma chine fast as that of Crandall, he would have given the other local boy q hard run for his money.
 Crandall Wove through the field to second place, and when Wolters stopped for his one filling of gas, took and kept the lead safely for his pal He went back into second place in the l30th mile and stayed there for the rest Of the race. Graves was consequently third in spite of his numerous stops. He showed every time he was running that he had all the speed stored away in his eight waived Indian.
 Joe O'ConnelI, whose machine never did shoot right after about the sixty fifth mile was passed by Gerig in the 10th lap In the 62nd Wilson went in to fourth place.
 Wolters had done e miles and an eighth at the end of the first hour
 CrandaI broke the 100-mile track

BY ROBERT PAUL HOLIDAY


 The pits were hot. yes indeed very warm. and the dust rolled over onto the side of the track, in clouds so thick that as far as race was concerned, no enjoyment Was sarnered from the speed duel by the pitmen. Their re ward was the knowledge that they worked fast and hard, and sent away the riders. with rehabilitated machines tO make another desperate try for first honofS, or at least piece of the money. Prior to the race everything was worked out by the denizens of the re- pair pits down to a certified certainty. Each man knew just what he was go- ing to do in case of anything wrong. When gas and oil were required, men had been told off to supply them in double quick time. So thorough was this organization. that the needed kick. required so much by the motors, was shot into them in less than minutes tune
 In the Indian pit. things were slung into and onto the machines with such haste. that at one time Grave was equipped with both back and front wheels in less than five minutes.
 After the riders were sent away. the pitmen settled down to q nice little rest. occasionally casting strained and anXi- ous slances in their direction. The Ex men didn't have much time to do any thing else beside that. as on the first lap around. in came Montgomery howl ing for new spark plugs. considerable dirt having been acquired in his first sct. Again they settled back for a lit tlc rest. and to take things easy. and again they were walked out of their lcthargN by Perry. Montys team mate. asking for a little tightening up in the EeaI ease, where d screw had worked loose.
 Things progressed then with their ac- customed wont, and time was taken by

the repalr men to cool their dust caied threats with d little lemonade, pop. or what ever happened to be han dy. Sellner on his Merkel rambled in for a tuning up, his magneto having acquired case of stage fright or some thing like that. He was helped out, and sent away rejoicing. only to roll in again, complaining of the same old trouble. Several times he did this and at last gave up the ghost and stayed where he was put taking sOlace in the troubles of the other riders
 The Harley team was particularly fortunate in not having to stop, except for gas and oil. CrandalI made his first stop at the end of so miles and took on d fresh supply after that he stopped a couple of times. but never suffered an team mate was in the same boat as far as luck was concerned.

He made good as long as the machine held together, but after aDout 3o last mlIeS, a broken cam lug inside relegated him to the side lines.

 Joe O'Connell had good luck. and was thought to be in the cash. when some unknown power located piece of glass in the bottom of the crank case, and busted same, allowing the oil to deluge the ground along the track for d long stretch. He also retired to the side lines to join the has beens.

stopped at the pits more than all the
 rest put together. When he finally went out with broken chain, about the only original part of the machine was the motor and front wheel, also the frame. Time after time he left the pits rejoicing that at last he had got ten her to shooting, only to make a lap or so. and then come crippling in for more repairs.

developed an emptiness in the same manner, but was stopped up with d rag
 Montgomery evidently developed an aversion to riding in company with his competitors. He was in the pits the major DOT tion of the time. He went out after about hundred miles and took up the next half or three quarters of an hour rebuilding his machine, something hay ing gone wrong with the exhaust. When he did get going. the EX. pits ters heaved a big sigh of relief and offered up gobs of prayers that noth- ing more would happen, and it didn't. All the time the men were breaking their necks to get his machine back on- to the track. Perry his team mate, perched himself calmly on the fence and offered all sorts of advice, which was rejected or used. as was seen fit.

minutes. which bespeaks admiration for his pitmen.
 Poor Old Perryl
 Without question, Bob Perry IS the best little sport in the world. He GAVE the race away, when he acceded to the request of the other riders to give up his other machine although permitted under the rules to use two machines in the one race Perry had easily the fastest thing on the track. as was proven by his victory in the elimination trials, and with his stock motor, all most as swift and q lot more durable than the port he would have made somebody get out of his way.
 When he finally went completely to the bad with engine trouble, he gr1nned good naturedlY, guessed that Joe would ride pretty race and joined the string of officials near the press box. When introduced to the crowd, he gave a short imitation of Charlie Chaplin, in his ineXpressibly greasy clothes, and then disappeared with his secret sor- TOW.
 ...... Twas a Long Grind .-......
 For over three hours the big crowd sat patiently watching the race, which frequently developed exciting brushes among the contestants. Fortune played a ravorite now and then. and sent cer- tain riders stretches of good travelling, and then q $ often turned her face away. Really.

"THE ARCH TRAITOR

There is One-the son of the Lady
of Beauty who rose white-and-gold
out of the sea-who wanders about
the face of the Winterland with a mel
ody box strapped by a pale blue ribbon
(pale blue is the color, you know, that
is supposed to be mans weakness) to
his cold little back (what is blue
knee and a frosted toe and icicles on
his lashes if a bachelor-man or maid
is to be shared by IT'D and he'll likely
come begging some day or other at
your door.
There are folk on the soft green isle
with the blue lakes like bits of sky
gemming it over who believe in the
Little People" still. But even if
they're wrong and there are no more
of them, browny and green, tucked
away under tree roots and tweakln
your cappie over your eyes cas- you
pass after dusk-there's one who is
Town brother to them, playing the
wandering minstrel through the world
with pack of tricks under his gold
en-feather kopf that would make the
farey people blush pink with shame
for their stupidity.
He can smile the frost out of your
heart-he can squeeze a rainy tear If
he just wishes as much-he can look
all things at once and more than that
too-unutterably desirable, piteous,
merry, gentle and tender, provocative
so wee, and harmless; and you think
you'll never sleep again if you cannot
have him and his music beside your
hearth It'll the weather's sweeter out.
If you are a sour bachelor who hugs
your loneliness close and will own no
other but a one-seated (selfish) car,
don't open your door at all when you
hear a voice like a baby-bird note out
side in the stormi If you are one
who's busy being famous you may just
''keek" out at him long enough to tell
him where there's a man down the
road who has leisure (for it takes time
to be a good lover, you know and bid
him adieu and good luck.
And if you are poor! Too poor!
with gaunt pockets and far-apart dol
lars-what can you do but tell him
your fire is thin and just warm enough
for one, and that you have only bread
and cheese and cannot afford kisses?
