YOSEMITE RUN |S
 CERTAIN PROOF 0F
 AUTOMOBILE WORTH

Intense as is the rivalry between au- tomobile dealers of the Pacific coast, true sportsmanship prevails and the numerous road contests held in the land of sunshine and perennial motoring, never suffer from lack of entries
 The recent Los Angeles Yosemite economy run was contested by 15 diff ferent makes cf cars ranging in cost up s3,750. These were divided into three classes according to price and the winners determined upon a ton- mile basis.
 Not one of the entries failed to hang up a gasoline record of less than 14 miles to the gallon over the 370 mile stretch.
 One of the remarkable features of the event was the maintenance of the Dort cars consistency. This car has figured prominently in three big Cali fornia runs during the last year. In the first Yosemite test a year ago, it hung up a record of 259O miles to the gallon and followed this up by an average of 23.93 in a ten day run be- tween Los Angeles and San Francisco, during which 4.65S miles were covered In this years Yosemite run it's record

DRIVING
 TERRIFIC TEST ON
 AUTOMOBILE TIRES

The Fourth of July Liberty Handi- | cap automobile race at the Cincinnati speedway, proved big victory for the | veteran driver, Ralph De Palma. who piloted his powerful twelve cylinder Packard around the tWo-mile board track, 100 miles in 57 minutes, 2 sec onds-a speed of 105 miles an hour.
 Sixteen cars faced the starter, Fred Wagner, and were sent away in pro- cession, according to handicaps he had worked out to equalize the speed capa- bilities of the various cars. De Palma and Louis Chevrolet started from scratch while the others were given from fifteen to ninety seconds handi cap. De Palma hit up terrific pace from the start, maintaining a speed of 110 miles an hour until he had passed through the field and overtaken the leader. on the twentieth lap. Then as his closest rivals developed trouble which sent them to the pits, he slack ened his pace perceptibly to save his car as much as possible, but kept well ahead till the finish.
 | Following him at the finish were Tom l Milton, second: Ralph Mulford, third l Barney Oldfield, fourth; Denny Hickey i fifth; Louis Chevrolet, sixth; De Lloyd Thompson, seventh
 That De Palma is still a great favor | ite with the racing fans, despite two years run of unfortunate mechanical | troubles which have cost him victory 1 in many important races, was indicated | in the rousing ovation accorded him when his cream colored car rolled on the track. and again at the conclusion 1 of the race.
 His victory was the result of a won | derful run in which his tires dupli- cated their performance at the New York Speedway month ago. or run ming the full 100 miles without a stop feW persons except those directly con- cerned with tire performance really appreciate the terrible gruelling that a tire must withstand on the race track at speed of 105 miles an hour. In a 100 mile race a tire must make more than 6O,000 complete revolutions, and to cover this distance in 57 minutes 2 seconds, De Palmd'S tires were revolv- ing l,0S0 times every minute, or IS times every second without interruption | This IS in excess of the rapidity with which our fastest machine guns are operated on the battle fronts, where the firing of 500 shots minute show CTS veritable storm of bullets upon the enemy. That tires can be made to stand up in such extremely exacting service is a splendid tribute to the quality of materials and workmanship of the Goodyear cord tires on which De Palma piloted his car to victory.
 An added feature of the afternoon program that appealed to the 0.O0C spectators. was the arrival of hall dozen big aeroplanes from the flying fields of Dayton, 50 miles distant piloted by United States soldiers in the aviation service. Before landing they executed many spectacular maneuvers which greatly delighted the crowd and gave them visible evidence of the won- derful flying efficiency which our boys are acquiring at the various aviation
 camps These machines were alst equipped with Goodyear cord tires-o

SOMETHING NEW,

A new farm tractor with striking characteristics is described and illus trated in the August Popular Mechan- ics Magazine. It is a two wheeled contrivance with the connecting rod and steering column extending far rearward so that when a riding blow or cultivator is attached. the farmer occupies the seat on the implement as if he were using horses. This arrange ment makes it possible for one man to drive the tractor and control the inn plement regardless of the kind of work that happens to be in hand Ninety eight per cent of the tractors weight is balanced on the driving wheels This obviously aids traction and also makes it easy to change from one implement to another.
