Is BUGABOO
OF RACING DRIVERS

Friction is a bugaboo of the noted
racing drivers perhaps even more so than
1t is the bane of the pleasure-or-co

because so much depends on everything
being In top-notch trim when the speed
boys start out to smash past perform

Darto Resta snaps his fingers at Old
Man Friction. So do Joe Chnstiaens,
Barney oldfeld, Eddie Rtckenbacker,
Eddie O'Donnell. Wilbur D'Alene, Tom
Alley and host Of other well-known
racing drivers. They're wise to the fact
that the way to practically put quietus
on friction is to lubricate with Dixon's
Graphite Automobile Lubricants. They've
been using Dixons and winning races.
John Smith, Anywhere, U. S. A, is COM

car is fabricated with Dixon's and that
gives him the ear-to-ear grin without

Tom Jones, somewhere in this broad
land can take a tip from Friend Smith
and reap the benefits of friction-freedom
BY tuning 'sr-up with Dsxon's throughout.

GLAD TO GIVE BOYS
MOTOR LITERATURE

A tendency in the marketing of
automobiles that has occasioned COM
ment is the importance that advertis-
ing managers are attaching to the
quest for boy readers of their selling
literature.
1t has been learned, 1t is contended,
That the boy reads the literature Of
the automobile industry with a degree
OF interest and appreciation that sur
passes that associated with the atten-
tlon given it by grown-ups. Thus 1t
has been shown to be profitable to so
impress the youth of the land that
they can be made determining fac
tors in the final choice for the fam
lily motor car equipment, and that the
lasting impressions now made will be
carried by the boys for years to come
when they themselves will be owners
of cars.
TT is the boy in the present age
who calls for and reads the cata-
logues and knows more about auto
mobiles than his father doea" one
executive recently stated. "a boys

cars, their peculiarities. their talking

CADILLAC BEATS TRAIN
55 TIMES In FOUR DAYS

Various parts of the country have re-
ported again and again how the Cadillac
Eight has beaten trains in races be-
tween gasoline and steam. But none Of
the previous feats has been quite so
unique-or caused quite 60 much COM
ment in its immediate neighborhood-
as that Just performed by the car in
Iowa. This car beat a train, too-not
once, but fifty-hve times in a four-day
period.
The Commercial Club of Waterloo,
Iowa, was making a get acquainted"
tour in a special train, visiting hfty-five
towns. c. A. Morris, the Cadillac deal
er at Waterloo, arranged to accompany
the train, in a Cadillac. over the entire
route. He arranged with a bank or a
newspaper In each of the towns to send
wit hhim to the next town to be visited,
someone familiar with the road.
The result was that the Cadillac
though leaving each town at the time
the train pulled away, invariably ar
rived at the next stopping place before
the train reached It. Several times
members of the club rode in the Cad
lilac from point to point and through
out the trip, the motor car was the
chief conversational topic, not only
aboard the train but in the towns vis-
tied.
The engineer OF the train took 1t as
personal affront that the Cadillac
should be such a consistent winner, and
on one stretch OF about six miles, the
last day of the tour. opened up for a
gait of sixty-fve miles an hour. But
the Cadillac leaped to the same speed
and beat the train, as usual.

Member of Royalty Won from For

Prince Andre, OF the royal house Of
Greece. has Just had delivered to him a
Scripps-Booth car, which he is person
ally driving.
The royal garage has an entire feet of
European built motor cars. and the
young prince has had them at his dis
posal. But he was so attracted by the
beauty Of the scripps-Booth car that he
purchased one of these handsome, lux
u1ous. light cars. for his personal use.
The sight Of Prince Andre driving his
new car through the streets of Athens
has attracted an immense amount of at
tention and has led to society in the
Greek capital taking up the Scripps-
Booth car with greeat enthusiasm
Greece about completes the list of
royal establishments possessing Scripps-
Booth cars. as practically every royal
family in Europe has one or more of
these cars.
The selection by Prince Andre Of the
Scripps-Booth is regarded as q particu-
lar compliment by the makers of the car,
as 1t serves to emphasize the artistic
worth OF the car to have 1t chosen by a
leader in a nation famed from ancient
times for its appreciation and love Of

Joe Wells, whenever he figures that
there is something new on the market in
