This new adjustment stands back

Elk these new Goodrich adjustment
figures firmly in your mind 5000
miles for safety treads, 5000 miles for

5000 miles respectively heretofore in
force.
Goodrich tires in actual usage on
road and pavement are to-day unfold
ing mileage regularly IN excess Of
adjustment basis and the adjustment
mileage is increased because Goodrich
knows the mileage in it's tires and it
wants to give every motorist a share

Durant TO Feed Children
At Orphans Day Outing

Plans are nearing completion for the
fifteenth annual orphans autom mobilc
day outing which will be held Thurs
day, June 49, at The Bronx Exposition
and Amusement Park, 177th Street and
Bronx River.
Although there have been many
donations of cars and trucks there is
still great shortage, but it is believed
that owners of cars and trucks will
rally to the call to provide transporta-
tion for the 5000 orphan children who
should participate in the outing.
Otherwise many OF them will have to
stay at home.
Each year some man prominent in
the automobile industry acts as

pays for the feeding of them. This
year w. c. tlrant, of the General
Motors Corporation, will have that

will precede the days festivities at

trip is made, has more to do with the
selection Of the route than the quality
Of the roads along any particular trail
The Sunset and Yellowstone trails
through the Northwest are good
routes, however; the heavy SHOWS on
the Cascade Mountains render Suo-
qualamie Pass impossible until after
June This handicap can be overcome
BY touring via Walla Walla, WASH,
from Spokane through Pendleton. Ore,
then along the Columbia River High
way into Portland.
"The Ell raso, Yuma and Santa Fe
trails are the most desirable winter and
spring routes, inasmuch as they cross
tire Continental Divide and coast ranges
at lower elevations. | consider those
routes the most interesting, as more
Indian and Mexican life is seen, and
more primitive methods of living pre-
vail. This is true more of the Santa
Fe trail than any of the others.
"The Lincoln Highway, or central
route. is undoubtedly the most popular
and the most travelled trail Of all, as
1t follows a more densely populated
section Of the country. Starting from
the Atlantic Coast there are three we'll
travelled routes. The New York and
Boston routes come together at AL
bany, then via Utica and Syracuse to
Buffalo. Another very desirable route
from New York goes by way of Bing-
hamton and Elmira. and joins the
above route at Buffalo, then via Erie
and Cleveland to Chicago The Lin
coin Highway from New York is in ex-
ceilent shape. The only poor roads are
from Pittsburgh to Canton, Ohio.
The roads through Illinois are mostly
dirt. From Clinton, Iowa. to Omaha
there are few short stretches Of
brick and gravel, but mostly dirt.
Through the western part of Nebraska
there is a little sand. In Wyoming
there are natural dirt and gravel roads.
Passing through Utah it is mostly nat
Vral dirt and rock roads, with a
stretch of concrete pavement out of
Salt Lake City. The route leads
around the south end of Salt Lake,
whore almost 100 miles Of dirt fats
are crossed Through Nevada many
mountain ranges are crossed at very
high attitudes, and the trails arc very
rough and rocky. From Ely, New, to
San Francisco you will find the road
we'll marked, thanks to the California
State Automobile Association From

First Into Yosemite
TO Studebaker Again

To the Studebaker Big Six belongs
the honor of again being the first
automobile this season to enter the
Yosemite Valley, making the fourth
year that the trophy has been cap
tured by a Studebaker car.
A c. Pillsbury, of San Francisco, a
private owner, was at the wheel and
the trip was made via Merced, Mari
posa and Wawona. According to the
report Of the drive made by Pilsbury
to II. A. Biggs, general sales manager
of the Studebaker Corporation, there
wasn't much snow this spring to buck,
but many fallen trees which blocked
the roadway had to be dynamited away
in order to make sufficient room for
the car to pass by.
Pllsbury says he counted fifty eight
deer on the way to the park and that
the weather was fine and the trip ideal
in every respect. Not a particle of
trouble was had with the car in cross
ing the streams which flowed across
the road due to the melting of snow in
the mountains. The steep grades also
were easily negotiated
The speedometer showed 236 miles
at the conclusion of the run in front
of the chief rangers office on the floor
Of the Yosemite Valley.
Superintendent Lewis, in charge of
the national park, as we'll as Chief
Ranger Townsley, confirmed the arrival
Of Pillsbury's car in telegram to Mr..
Bggs.
Although the road into the valley
via Wawona is now open and is re-
ported to be in excellent condition for
touring, when Pillsbury made the run
it was still in bad shape, as the gang
was hard at work removing all the
obstacles and filling in the ruts and
building the waterbreaks so as to put
the road into fine shape for the spring
motor travel into the famous resort.

Truck Delivery
Shows Big Economies

~There are few lines Of business
that cannot improve their deliy-
cry system by careful study of their
own business and comparison with the
methods used by Others" says R. S.
Locke, manager Of the Federal motor
truck branch here. Cone GOOD in
stance was recently brought to our at
tention in the case of New York con-
tractor hauling materials for concrete
road construction.
"Loading was formerly done entirely
by hand, requiring twenty minutes to
load two tons. Teams cost 81 dav
and made four trips, hauling a little
more than two tons trip an average
distance OF three miles. This made
the commercial ton mile cost about 20
cents.
"a two-ton Federal was put on the
JOB and made eleven trips, a total Of
slxty-six ton miles The truck cost SIP
day, and thus worked for 18 cents
Il ton mile, saving II cents a ton mile
and hauling twenty-five tons a dav. as
compared TO the eight tons of the team.
Had the truck been loaded by over
head bins the savings would have been
much greater and the tons hauled
would have been greatly Increased. It
required three hours and forty min
utcs 70 load for the eleven trips Tn
loading time was kept low by the
power dump body with which the truck
wag equipped II d loading device had
neen used the truck could easily have
been loaded in two m,nutcs-a total
of twenty-five minutes for the eleven
trips. Allowing thirty minutes, which
would easily care for the loading time
you'd mean a saving Of three hours
and ten minutes.
ne truck averaged thirty-fve min
utes' running time a trip. In the three
hours ten minutes it could make five
trips and still haze some time for de-
Iayg. This would make a total Of six
teen tripz-thirty-tw fons-nincty-
nix ton miles for the day's work.
"Tne cost ton mile would then be
q little more than IL cents. This means
q saving cf u cents ton nile over the

International
Flavor to Races
At Sheepshead
Fifteen Drivers in Sweep
stakes Sprints; French
Pilots to Compete; De
Palma TO Steer Packard

America and Europe will clash for
auto speed supremacy when fifteen
drivers compete in the international
sweepstakes at the Sheepshead Bay
Speedway next Saturday afternoon. In
this meet the tliers, led by Ralph De
Palma, will strive to recover in part
the prestige lost at Indianapolis when
French Peugeot was first over the
finish line.
The Sheepshead Bay competition will
be decided in sprints. Only machines
that displayed exceptional speed abl.
ty in the indianapolis contest were
selected for the short distance battle,
the sweepstakes to be at ten, twenty,
thirty and fifty miles. AS much as
$35, ,00O it is stated, is offered by Man
ager James J. Johnson as prizes.
De Palma will pilot the same Pack
ard that led the field at indianapolis
and broke all records UP to 800 miles
for the Western classic. AS support
for De Palma will be Tommy Milton,
winner of the Uniontown race; Ira
Vail, Brooklyns champion speedster
the Chevrolet brothers and several
young stars.
Jules Goux, the veteran French
champion. and Jean Chassagne, an
other noted pilot, are the only two for
eigrers to answer the challenge Of
the American contingent. Jean Bal
lot, owner Of the Ballot racing team,
announced yesterday he would enter
his machines in the sweepstakes if
they could be made ready in time from
injuries received at indianapolis.
Dario Resta will steer q machine of
his own design and construction. He
is regarded as the clark horse" for
the sprint competitions.
Indications are that $4,000 motor
fans will see Saturdays speed battle.
Popular prices will prevail, and tickets
may be had at all ticket agencies.
