Speedway Tests for
Stock Touring Cars.

Touring car manufacturers are be-
ginning to test their stock models on
the new speedways. Several cars have
recently been tested out on the Chi
cago Speedway, and now that the Astor
Cup race is over, it is likely that q
number Of New York agents will use
the Sheepshead Bay Speedway as a
testing ground TO prove the real speed
Of their stock models under the NEST
favorable conditions.
In Chicago a Cadillac eIght-cylinder
touring car, fully equipped and carry
ing a spare wheel and tire, recently
covered one hundred miles in s2:46, OF
at an average speed Of 7249 miles an
hour. The wind shield and top were
down. The fastest lap was made in
/ minute 3s % seconds, or at a speed
Of 1917 miles an hour. This test was
made under the direction OF m auto

the fact that cord tires do not heat
up proves that the saving IS directly
in the tire.
"To test the comparative load-csrry-
ing properties of fabric and cord tires,
a hill was selected on which the grades
were measured and it was found that
with equal size tires a car carried 500
pounds more load Mt a higher rate Of
speed with cord tires than could be
carried by the same car with fabric
tires. In these tests the throttle Of
the car was fixed and not disturbed
during the time the test was going on.

Economical Side Of
the Fast Cord Tire.

The phenomenal success Of the cord
tire In tho automobile racing world
has brought this form OF construction
Of tire TO public attention. Although
most Of the large tire manufacturers
arc still producing the so-called fabric
tire. there appears TO be tendency
among them all TO get into line on the
cord tire. and 1t is quite possible that
within few months we shall see near
ly all Of them producing some form OF
cord tire.
Those who are interested in this
new tire from a technical standpoint
will find considerable information in a
paper which was recently read before
the Society Of Automobile Engineers,
by J. II. Wagenhorst, a department
manager OF the b. +. Goodrich Com
psny, Of Akron, Ohio. This paper was
published in the last number Of the s.
A. +. Bulletin. While the authors dis
cussion Of the methods employed in the
manufacture Of these tires Is too
lengthy to give here. he makes com.
ment on the practical results which
have been obtained with the cord tire
and this NAV be Of interest to Tribune
readers lie says:
Cord tires running under the same
conditions as fabric tires show a consid-
erably lower temperature. This means a
saving Of horsepower By the use Of the
cord tire. The cord tire being more
flexible offers less resistance to action
and does not develop heat. In cord

THE TWO WHO PRAYED
Sarah Beaumont Kennedy in Commercial Appeal

Sarah Beaumont Kennedy in Commercial Appeal Two went up to the temple to pray,
 When the last sun-hours were brief, And the people said, as they saw them pass.
 "A gentleman there, and a thief" A gentleman. clad as a man should be,
 Who takes the world by the throat And wrests its wealth; but the other one walked
 In shame of thredbear coat. And there where the aureole window famed
 And the altar lights burned low. They knelt and prayed. one fluent and calm,
 One trembling of speech and slow. One pleaded to God of the snare of gold
 The lure of a loaf of bread; And he barred his soul to the conscience lash
 And he told how his heart had bled. He had taken the thing that was not his,
 And paid to the law it's dole; His hands were red with crust,
 But the stain reached not his soul. The other man boasted of things achieved
 Of gold filed up through the year. But under the words God caught the drip
 Of an ill-paid woman's tears. And he told also how he built the shops,
 Where was work for the hungry horde. And plumed himself on his charities
 ''Confessing" them to the Lord. But he said no word how he drove and skimped
 The poor of their honest due How children cried in his cruel mills,
 But the pitiful God, He knew. When the prayers were done and the two came forth Where the sunset spilled it's sheaf. The people bowed, but the angels knew
 The gentleman from the thief

TRY TO WORK SMOOTH
SCHEME ON FARMERS
Alleged Employee Of Agricultural
Dept. Of State Has Concrete
Silo Game.

Information has reached the
Office of the commissioner of
agriculture that an attempt is
being made to swindle farmers
of middle and east Tennessee
with a concrete silo scheme.
Commissioner Bryson received a
letter Saturday from a farmer
of the East Tennessee section to
the effect that young man was
going about through the country
claiming to be in the employ of
the agricultural department and
advising farmers to build con-
crete silos, says the Tennessean;
sollowed up by parties who
want to build the silos at an ex-
orbitant price. Commissioner
Bryson has issued the following
statement in regard to the mat
ter.
Information has reached this
Office that there are men visiting
the farmers in certain counties
who are considering the question
of building silos and making the
statement that they aae employed
by the agricultural department
of the state, and advising far
mers to build silos of concrete.
Then following them comes an
agent proposing to build concrete
Asilos, using the argument: III
concrete silo is not the best
al does not bring better results,
whr does the state government
pay the salary of a man and
send him over the state advising
the farmers to build concrete
silos?' | wish to state that no
such advice is given from this
Office. 1t is easy to see that
under certain conditions, con.
crete might be best, while under
other conditions a wooden silc
would be advisable.

BYRON LOONEY OUT
FOR COUNTY TRUSTEE
Well Known Democrat Seeks
Nomination In The Next
County Primary.

The Partisan is pleased to pre-
sent, for the consideration of the
Democratic voters of Henry
county. Mr.. Byron Looney as a
candidate for Trustee, and he
needs no introduction as he is
we'll and favorably known to
practically everybody in this
county.
Mr.. Looney is a democrat who
never scratched a ticket. This is
the first time that he has asked
the people of his county for any
office, and they will make no
mistake if they give it to him.
He began life as a farmer, was
a fireman on the l.. & N. rail
road for some time, managed a
livery stable, sold harvesting
machinery, was connected with
A. G. Trevathan for three years
in the grocery business, and
with the Johnson & Van Cleave
Company for nine years, and
was engaged in the grocery bus
mess for himself for some time.
He is known as an honest,
straightforward G en- I'll e m a n,
whose word is as good as his
bond.
Mr.. Looney is a Mason as well
as being a Democrat and big
hearted gentleman, and his
friends over Henry county are
legion. When the votes are
counted in the Democratic pri
mary this fall it is certain thai
he will have a large number Of
tallies opposite his name on the
returns.
The Democrats of the county
should give his claims careful
consideration.

FRANK MORTON
FOR TRUSTEE
Another Prominent Partisan Throws
Hat in Ring and Goes
In to Win.

This weeks issue of The Pari-
sian carries the announcement
of Mr.. W. F. Frank Morton.
as a candidate for Trustee of
Henry county, subject to the ac-
ton Of the Democratic party.
Mr.. Morton has for the past
twenty-five years been a fami-
liar figure behind the counters of
Johnson & VanCleave Co., Nor
ton Bros. & Johnson and Atkins
& Morton.
During that time he has by his
pleasant manner and dependa-
bleness in business, won the, con-
fidence, esteem and respect
of all with whom he has had
dealings.
He has a wife and three chill
dren for whom to keep the
skillet greasy, and if elected
promises to discharge the duties
of the office in a businesslike way
and to spend the biggest part of
his income "greasing that skill
let"
Mrs. Morton is a deservedly
popular Christian woman, and is
the daughter of the late John
R. Chief Crosswell, who serv-
ed the county in the capacity of
register for many years.
Frank has been rubbing the
muscles of his right hand and
arm with snake oil'' for the
past thirty days and says he feels
like he can shake thg2aand Of
every voter in..the county with.
out re-oiling.
1t looks now like he will finish
in the first division, and some
body will have to get lots OF
votes to beat him.
