cause of the excessive demand for cap

wings, like a bird, and is strutless
and wireless. Equipped with a six

Looking forward to the trans-At-

enter this event, not with the Bull

develop a total maximum of 32OO

that he puts forward proposals that

means that the American people, like

Ralph De Palma and his aviation

route to Santa Monica, California, to
show the motoring public Of the
Pacific Coast the fastest car in the
world. and incidentally, IL fortune
faYors, to travel a mile on Santa

and still have a mile left in which
to check his flight before going into
one OF the turns.
There is no intention to compete
IN the race to follow the exhibition,
because De Palma's mount is nor
fitted with the brake equipment
necessary for the type of racing
planned for that meet. He has an
airplane-motored Packard special.
capable of 12l miles per hour, with
which he will be seen in competition

II was designed by Packard engineers
and built by Packard craftsmen in
the Packard experimental shops before
Americas declaration of war against
Germany. In 1917. with Willard 4.
RAIDER at the wheel. it established a
complete new set of records for circu-
lar speedways. over distances from
one-fourth mile to ten miles.
The special body of ''the fastest car
in the world is something, new in
chassis design. It was fashioned in
the light of aviation experience. and
is a remarkable study in stream lin
ing. The whole effect is that Of an
aiTplane on wheels.
For sheer beauty, too. the Packard
9O5 runs in a class of its own. From
the beveled radiator shoulders that
are hallmark of Packard design the
world over, back to the knife-bIade
tail of the fuselage, the car is nodded
on matchless lines of shapeliness. The
long. free-fiowinE line of the radiator
gives little outward sign of the tre-
meEdOusly powerful engine it houses.
The whole car is enameIed a light
cream color. and when it is under
way its coming is heralded by a sus-
tanned humming OF the aviation en-
Sine. its passing by q flash of deeper
sunlight along the course. and its 60

ually increases for a time after pilot

That is the rub. Britain and Amer

not expect to be allowed to write sea
law to suit themselves. The fellows
in the league of nations whose desires
are to restrict the use of sea power
