'SUPER-SIx BREAKS
TWO SPEEDING RECORDS
milford Drove $50 3nd $50 Miles
In Remarkable Time at Chi
cago. Averaging 104 Miles An
Hour.
PLENTY OF HUDSONS CAN
DUPLICATE the PERFORMANCE

Ralph Milford, driving a Hudson
Super-Six. broke the American speed
way record for $50 and 200 miles at the
Chicago races. clipping IL seconds
from Dario Resta's time. which for
merly stood as the fastest 200 miles
ever driven by a motor car" said Mr..
Lawrence. the Augusta Hudson deal
er. yesterday. "Mulford averaged 1o4
miles an hour. The feat of the Super
Six AMI its great driver is all the more
, remarkable from the fact that the Chi
cago speedway is not the fastest Of
American motordromes and few exist
ing records were made on 1t. =
Motor experts attribute this great
est 200 mile motor performance to the
endurance of the NSuper- Six. That
quality was the chief factor which con-
tributed to the record smashing per-
Torrance. For the Super-Six racing
specials are not rated speedy cars. as
racing cars go. There are many rae
ing cars which have more speed. The
SuperSiX racers. by scientific tests,
can exceed a rate of 104 miles an hour
by very little. But they are able to
maintain the fullest limit of their speed
| for hour after hour. When other and
J faster cars are forced to the pits on &C
count of engine trouble the Super
Skies keep going.
| Yet the Super-Six was not designed
| for racing. 1t was built for ordinary
service. But its patented motor, which,
! by minimizing friction gave it ey-
/ traordinary qualities of endurance also
delivered such an excess of power, that
I its possibilities as q race car were in
/ vestigated. Many Independent drivers
\ in 1916. converted stock Super-Sixes
| into racers at small expense. and cam
paigned them with success against
/ specially built racers, costing as much
as 100000 to build. The Hudson Com
pany this year converted Ave stock
cars for racing. The changes made in
| the Super-Six racers were such as
could be made to any stock Super-Six
at small cost. There are plenty Of
Super Skies now in use which with a
few changes might be placed on
made by Ralph milford.
"Mulford's time for the 200 miles was
1 hour, SIS minutes, II and a fraction
| seconds. The great Italian, Resta.
from whom milford and the Super-Six
! lifted the crown, made the 200 miles In
hour. So minutes. % and a fraction
, seconds. Mulfords advantage in ac-
| tual competition would be little more
than a third Of mile."-Adv.

tenders and trimmings are black.
Dark green upholstery is also used.
The motor is the L-head type Of high

1t Can Be Done = Here Are
Some Ways To Do It
Quickly
FLIES CARRY BAD DISEASES
Begin In March to XIII the Pests and
Keep Up the War All Year-HeIp
Keep Your Family and Your Com
munity Healthy.

(By Lena A. Warner, Specialist In
Health, Division OF Extension, Uni.
versity of Tennessee.)
Flies carry filth from the manure
pile, the garbage can, the privy vault.
the spittoon, and the sick room to the
milk, to baby's mouth, to the food and
to you.
Flies carry disease-Typhoid Fever,
tuberculosis, Diarrhea, Dysentery
and lnfantile Paralysis.
Flies can not breed without filth.
The more filth the more flies; the
more flies, the more sickness.
Have you any flies in your commu-
nifty? Decide that in March you will
get the flies before they get you. No
doubt, you have decided the fly has
been tolerated too long, without any
effort toward its determination, hav.
ing realized how dangerous 1t IL, and
that by screening, trapping and dc.
stroying Its breeding places, this In.
sect can be exterminated at slight ex-
pense. Perhaps you have been in.
formed that flies are more disgraceful
and dangerous than bed bugs, or the
doctor has told about how many ba.
bies they kill. The microscope shows
that the speck of one fly contained
5000 tubercular germs. Flies deliber.
ately and carelessly deposit these
germ-laden specks, and rub the ex-
creta from the manure pile off their
legs and feet on your food.
Uncle Sam learned his lesson when
flies killed more soldiers than all ths
Spaniards' bullets.
Make your community or town ny.
less.
Begin at home, then join your
! neighbor, kill all wintered-over flies,
make the privy fly proof (they avoid
dark places), screen doors. porches
and windows, keep the garbage can
covered and disinfected. Trap them
