SPORTOGRAPHY By -G1agg,


the land OF the living, is now IS years
old and has walked over 10000 miles.
In the 70s the professional walkers
were as celebrated as Jess Willard %
and Ty Cobb are today. They rolled
in money and basked in the limenght
ords set Up in those days in England
and America have never been sur
passed, and, unless professional walk
ing comes into vogue again, probably
never viii be.
It was the bicycle which killed Pc
destrianism. When the safety was
invented IL not only became a substi-
tute for shak's mares, but cycling be-
came the most popular sport in the
world Walking as a sport died a
sudden death, but as long as humans
have legs there is always the hope
that pedestrianism viii again come to
the fore. TO the great benefit OF the

JACKSON-McAULRFE CONTEST.
It was Just 30 years ago today that
Peter Jackson knocked out Joe Nc
Auliffe in the oath round at San Fran
cisco. The great Australian black had
arrived in America only a short time
before. and this was his second ap-
pearance IN the American ring, His
first victim was George Godfrey. the
Auliffe the Australian doomed up as a
coming champion. John L Sullivan,
who had fought a long draw with
Charlie Mitchell a few months before
Peter crossed the Pacific. did not han
ker after the job Of tackling the big
black fellow. and drew the color line
Joe McAulifee was a good man. and
had defeated Paddy Ryan, the eX-
champion, but he was DO match for
Jackson The latter. finding II i'm
possible to get a match with Sullivan,
fought a few other second-raters and
then went to England, where he de-
feated Jem Smith, the champion, and
others with the greatest ease. Upon
his return 20 America in 1891 he got a
match with Jim Corbett. and. although
Peter had been seriously injured in
an accident a short time before the
bout, he held Gentleman Jim TO 4
draw in 81 rounds After that he went
back. and in 1898 was easily defeated
BY Jeffries.

Service from Truck Doubled
in Three Months

These trucks represent a capital
investment of close to One Thou
sand Million Dollars.
The possible saving would pay a
dividend of II per cent a year on
the owners truck investment.
Deposited as a sinking fund, it
would practically write his truck Inc
vestment off the books. The trans
portation principle responsible for
the saving would also increase the life
and service of his trucks.
Put to public uses, it would build
1000 miles of concrete roads at
$ZO,OOO-which means easier truck
ing, further saving in costs per tom
mile, fewer repairs, longer life to his
truck.
1t can be done.

ment of your local Packard Branch or

with your present make of trucks

How to get more work out of your

How to fit the truck to the job.
One of the greatest difficulties the

Some Results of
Packard
1907 Var Work

The s000th Liberty Motor
built by the Packard Company
was shipped on November II, a
week after its final assembly IN
the Packard shops, and a week
ahead of the first anniversary Of
the completion of the first Lib
erty Engine ever made from
standard tools.
It was on Thanksgiving Day,
1917, that the first Liberty Motor
TO come from an organized pro-
duction line came from the pro-
duction line of the Packard.
Wrapped II. an American flag, it
was shipped the same day to the
American aircraft forces.
Between Thanksgiving and the
following March, the process Of
the new war engines develop
ment was that of the accommo-
dalton Of tool to design and design
to tool, always necessary IN the
preparation for quantity produc-
ton of a quality motor. The
work Of pioneering this develop
ment was either given by the
government to the Packard or
assumed by the Packard for the
Government. Consequently, as
late as February IS, Packard had
produced the only Liberty En-
gines in operation, and to date
Packard has built more Liberty
Motors than any other manu-
facturer has made.
The great results of that de-
velopment period are measurable
by the fact that the improve
ments effected raised the horse
power of the Liberty Motor from
367, at which the government
had accepted it for production,
to more than $50. Another re-
suit was that large scale produc-
ton rapidly followed final stand
ardization of tools and design,
so that by the end of the war,
eight months later, Uncle Sam
had more than $1,000 Liberty
Engines.

Out to win the prize, the driver was
willing to shut off his engine and
crank up again after every stop.
Gasoline economy was increased

Load carried was doubled.
transportation cost was cut Sc per

Investigation shows that on the
average each truck can effect saving

we have it on good authority that
C. d. Breeze, justice of the peace
and well known attorney of this city,
is being advanced by his friends for
the appointment to the district court

Horsey resigns. What political fences
