type of racing car this year. Its con- struction is a radical departure from all previous models and is expected to create a sensation when it appears. The design is a pet idea of Oldfield and he is of the belief that it will re volutionize the racing game.
 The new racer has a completely en- closed body, built like an egg shell. Oldfield and his mechanician will be completely protected from injury by track accidents, while the shape of the body will give the minimum of wind resistance, which is one of the greatest causes of power loss in racing.
 The new car is built of aluminium throughout, it's roof being trussed and all jCints reinforced by oxide welding. The engine was built especially for the car, which is exceptionally light when compared with the weight of other racing machines With his FireStone equipment and his new machine, Old field expects to lower several world s records during 1917.

Sending tobacco to Tommy Atkins and his brother Le Poilu is just one of the many little American kindnesses which have helped slightly to ease the burden of modern warfare, according to McArthur Bros, local Jeffery dealers.
 Those who have seen the now famous La Noy war film, Heroic France" will appreciate the important role that the Jeffery quad is now playing on the Allied front. Last summer the man. ufacturers of the Jeffery quad sent a large quantity of tobacco to quad drivers in France.
