This is the word brought back from
Portland Wednesday by ] W. Harbi
son, Ford sales manager of the Vale,
! Motor company. Mr.. HARRISON saw
the veteran old speed vehicle at the
sales rooms of the William Hugnsur
Automobile company, Ford agents
and was informed that the old relic OF
the day of flat track racing is soon tc
be shipped to San Francisco for fur.
ther exhibition and thence east to be.
come the property of the head of the
Ford Motor company.
Just why Mr.. Ford should be proud
to be rated the owner of "Old 999''
can be better understood when it is
known that he was the designer of the
veteran machine, which was resurrec,.
ed recently from the chaos of Los
Angeles junk yard.
"Old 999" was the forerunner Of the
highly perfected Ford car of today, as
was the machine which first starred
both Ford and Oldfield on the road to
fame in motordom. 1t was construct
ed IL years ago by Ford as his entry
in the first auto race ever held in De-
troit and took its place in history as it
passed over the finish line leading the
field. Oldfield piloted the car in this
tlrst race and continued to do so for
the following two years, during which
time he established the record of COW
erlng a circular mile on a flat track
in less than minute.
While plainly demonstrating the
great strides which have been made
in the development when compared
with the automobile of today "old s99"
which still runs, gives evidence of the
birth of the ideas which still predomi
nate in the design of successful cars
timer identical to that found on the
Ford cars of today is a part of the
power plant of the veteran speeder and
many other parts are the same in the
way of their working idea, although
the design has in most cases been i'm
proved upon. In the place of the pres
ent day steel frame, "Old 999" was
made lighter by the use Of wood, and
lhe tlreS, mounted on wire wheels.
measured S7x5 inches.
The highly standardized lubricating
system now in use were not thought of
when the old racer was built. "old
ssS'' is minus crank case for the
oil reservoir, large oil cups fitting on
TO the different bearings which had to
be turned down every fiftyto seventy
five miles, too care of the lubrication
The differential systems also were
unthought of. The old racer covered
ITS fast miles and negotiated the sharp
turns without differential. The same
principle of rear axles was used as are
found on locomotives, the tires having
to stand the strain of one, wheel trav-
cling faster than the other.
Instead Of the radiator holding wat-
er' 1t was used merely for cooling it as
1t passed through the tube. a tank di-
rectly behind the motor being used Ia
contain the water from which it would
go through the motor, passing into the
radiator and back.
A straight bar served as the steerins
apparatus in "old 9s9's" time. two nm.
right projections serving as hand grips
for the driver.

Old ways don't end it,

Old ways of brushing do not end film.
Millions of people know that. Teeth dis
color and decay despite the daily care.
The reason lies in film. 1t clings and
hides, and very few escape its damage.
1t is the flr-coat that discolors, not the
teeth. Film is the basis of tartar. 1t
holds food substance which ferments and
forms acid. 1t holds the acid in contact
with the teeth to cause decay.
Millions of germs breed in it. They,
with tartar, are the chief cause Of pyor-

When the New York County COM
mittee of the American Legion meets
Thursday night it will have much more
to do than to elect officers for the
ensuing year.
One of the most important tasks to
be assigned to these representatives Of
al the posts in Manhattan will be
that of dealing with the action of Will
lard Straight Post, of this city. which.
just after the national executive COM
n'ittee of the Legion had demanded the
removal from Office of Assistant Sec
retary of Labor Louis +. Post, issued
statement condemning the Legion's
action.
This question was taken up Saturday
at meeting of the New York State
executive committee in the Hall Of
Records. During that session it was
asserted @that a ruling of the national
convention dealt with the refusal of
posts to abide by recommendations
made by majority of the Legion and
it was decided to summon the Willard
Straight Posts representatives to the
county committee to show cause whv
they should not be disciplined for TAX
ing the stand they did.
The state executive committee took
up many other important questions
and it was declared by those present
to be the most representative state
meeting ever held. Only one member
OF the committee was missing. State
