OtdfieId's Submarine
Makes NeU Record

Barney Oldfield shattered another
worlds record at Uniontown, Pa, on
May 16 when his golden subma-
rine" flashed across the line far In
advance of Chevrolet with whom he
was matched. He made five laps on
one and one-eighth mile track at
102 miles an hour and one lap at
the ratio of 104 miles an hour.
The car in which he raced Is so
constructed that should 1t turn tur-
tie 1t will right itself without injur-
ing the driver.
In his telegram to President H. 8.
Firestone of the Firestone Tire &
Rubber Co., announcing the fact
that he had broken another worlds
record, he uses his well'known say
ing, "Firestone tires are my only life
insurance. You know me-" Back
in 1914 when Barney had been IL
years in the game and consistently
winning victories on Firestone tires,
the fans all said It would be long
time before Barney was through
and they are still saying it.
He seems TO have found the for
mula Of eternal youth. He is as
popular as ever, smokes the same
/ kind of stogie and drives the same
( cautious race, not always winning.

SPEED IS KEYNOTE
OF AUTO BUSINESS
Light Passenger Cars Used More
Every Day TO Solve Trnns-
portatiOn Problems.

The Keynote OF all modernebusi-
ness is speed says Vice-president
X. c. Rueschaw OF the Mitchell
Motors company. Inc. OF Racine.
Wis. Mail Is too slow for trans
hitting today'B business informa-
ton. while even the telegraph Is
giving way to the long-dlstance tele-
phone.
Freight IL too slow for moving
todays merchandise. Express ship
ments in carload lots are common.
And in the automobile business even
express shipments are losing out to
deliveries of cars overland under
their own power On short hauls.
and even long ones, the motor truck
is delivering the goods fast and
cheap.
THE street car, interurban and
suburban trail, are too slow In taxi
ing today's business man from his
home to his office and about town
in the course OF his work Only the
modern passenger car is fast enough
for this service.
Men are thinking faster. doing
more n shows in thousand ways,
For instance, compare the brief,
busness-like, straight-to-th -the-point
letter OF today with tho flowery,
mcanderlnE message of even few
years ago. Even in ordinary con-
yersation men say more in fewer
words Decisions are made fast.
Things are moving so rapidly these
days that opportunities must be
grasped quickly or they slip away.
The automobile typlfies this age
and helps It accomplish more in
less time to n greater extent than
almost any other agent Of our mod
crn civilization. Eliminate the auto
mobile and you will slow up the
whole course OF business 10 point
where we will all be returning to
the slow order of yesterday"

Famous Grand Pri8
Course Battlefield

Some. of the most bitter fighting
Of the war in Europe is now taking
place on the grand prize race course
of 1913, just outside tho town of
Amiens A recent ~eemmunique
stated that the village of Moreuli
was captured by the Germans on
the day previous to Easter. It was
retaken by the French and lost
again, and finally won by French
and Canadian troops through a bay
onet drive.
This village is situated on one OF
the corners of the triangular course
used for the 1913 French race. 1t
was near this point that Albert Guy
OF. we'll known as competitor in
America in the past, ran over his
own mechanic and through the de-
lay lost the race.
The 1913 grand prize was won by
George Boillot who competed In
the indianapolis 500-mile races.
The Fuegeot Delage and Sunbeam
cars, which were seen at Indlanapo-
lis in 1914, all took part over this
course.

IlenYe Tons Down.

III people when touring would
get away from the idea Of always
having the top of the car up they
would, generally speaking, be the
better for it. There are sections Of
the country where the heat is so
excessive in the summer months
that the practice would not be ad-
visable; for that matter 1t would be
harmful, perhaps" says a local
tourist.
There are months, however. when
one can tour through the country
and do go comfortably with the top
down. We need the sun and the air
TO retuvenate our bodies, and the
longer we live we are learning more
and more that these two elements
are essential to health and happi-

Among the many accounts which
have come to us OF soldier life in
France. the similarity OF which has
been more or less marked, the one
brought back by c. T., Hutchins, a
salesman OF Goodyear Tire g. Rub
ber Co. is particularly interesting in
that 1t treats OF motoring conditions
as they exist in France today.
AS driver for a staff officer he
became familiar with the entire bat
tie front and obtained the broad out
look of the allied situation. Dur
ing his six months' service he was
attached to the transportation de-
partments OF the French. English,
Belgian, Portuguese and American
forces and won the uniforms Of all
OF them. His story follows, in part:

made in design. But their power

MEXICAN MOTOR
THIEVES ARE SHOT
State of Sonora Deals With These
Crooks Quickly and
Effectively.
METHOD DECIDEDLY SIMPLE
Might Re u Good Scheme TO Try
Such a Law I'm the
United States.

The state OF Sonora, Mexico has a
method of dSaling with the auto
thief that Is decidedly simple. swift
and effective. according TO infofma-
ton received last week by Harold l..
Arnold from j. +. Johnson, Hudson
dealer for Arnold at Nogales. Ariz..,
says Los Angeles Examiner. Ar
nold's Hudson territory includes the,
stale Of Sonora az we'll AZ Arizona
and southern California, and Joh<1~s
son sells many Hudsons to the
wealthy ranchers OF the rich Sonora
valleys.
Recently thief broke into Mo-
gales garage and made off with
new Hudson super-six," Johnson told
Arnold. Very possibly he intendsd
TO use 1t In the botlegging business.
for 1t is a fact. regrettable. but true,
that the Hudson enjoys a distinct
popularity among the bootieggsrb ~
class because Of It's ability to rut-
distance any other make Of ca IN
use on the border. IN
AT any rate, the thief CROSSED ~
border with the super-six and d.
appeared In Sonora. The authoritiBg

Trial Short and Simple. 4
THE trial was short and simple
affair The thief was very evideptly
In possession of q car that he had
not obtained by any legal process.
and when the trial had made this
sufficiently plain the erstwhtle pilot
of the super-six was lined up In
front of an adobe wall and shot.
The authorities Immediately sert
the car back to Nogales to It's right
