The automobile world has now a
new 'Ace," real speed demon. His
name is Tommy Milton, already fam
Gus on the speedways Of the country.
But his performance on the sandy
beach at Daytona, just completed,
marks him as the present day auto
mobile speed king. Tommy has sue
ceeded in clipping off all the records
from one mile UP to five miles set
last year by Ralpi, De Palma.
Driving Duesenhecg car equip
ped with Goodyear cords, he drove
one mile in the really remarkable
time of 23.7 seconds as against the
worlds record of 24.2 seconds. He
set new worlds record OF two miles
in 1924 seconds; three miles in one
minute 2:.18 seconds; four miles in
- n,;rute 3i.14 seconds and five
miles in only four seconds beyond the
two minute mark.
The establishment of these new
records in a great victory for Good
year straight-side tires for Mliton,s
big Duesenberg was equipped on all
four wheels with these tires which de-
spite the terrible grinding they en-,
dured in setting up these new speed
marks, hardly showed that they had
been used at all. Few persons, ex-
cept those acquainted with tire per
formance, fully appreciate the ter,
rible gruelling tire must Withstand
st q speed of 1856 miles an hour.
At the conclusion Of these speed
tests, Tommy Milton wired the Good
year company that these new world
records were made possible by the
wonderful performance of the Good
wear cords and said: "Owing to
changing wheels to get different gear
ratio I used fourteen tires during my
trials. None were specially prepared
and many were hurriedly mounted
but not once did l have any trouble
of any nature with my tires. ! firmly
believe that three miles minute
speed is possible. It is solely up to
the motor builders for Goodyear Is
ready with the tires. I would go at
ter such record tomorrow with the
tires l used here in my record work.

Washed wool is put up in bales OF

and before the war it's price was about
250 francs per kilogram. Some OF
The wool was exported to france,
Italy and Germany, but the bulk went
to the United States where 1t was USED
in carpet manufacturing.
"The censers of the wool trade
were in Aleppo, HONS and Hama ana
~af5rSstt the whole wool produce OF the
country was brought to these towns
to be sold. Worthy of mention, but
of far less importance, were the
towns of Damascus and Jahl, and al
so certain places in the Lebanon: lhe
exports of wool to the United States
from the Aleppo vilayet were valued,
according to American consular re-
ports. in 1912 at s534,280 and IN
1918 S272.674. The annual wool
trade in Aleppo, HONS and Hama
amounted in value to an average OF
100000 francs, of which 60 per
cent. went to Aleppo, 25 per cent
to Hama and Is per cent. to HONS
Next in value came the wool trade
of Damascus, the center for the
produce of the Hauran and East
Jordania.
sPresent day reports state that a
large quantity of wool is to be OBJ
tained in the neighborhood of Jeru-
salem. The wool could be cleaned
woven or spun in Palestine, more
