question to answer without getting in
dutch with some one. However. l shall
give my honest opinion and face
the music. There are many good plugs
on the market but 1 pin my faith to
one or two-the A. G. Titan or the
Rajah, provided of course you can fit
your motor with the type of plug you
need in the motor, i. e. long or short
shank and so forth.
Dear Larry: What do you consider
the best priced six on the market to-
day?-L. D.
Answer; Without any prejudice on
my part 1 believe the Premocar
Magic Six made by the Preston
Motors corporation and sells for 1925
TO be the best priced car on the mar
ket. There are many reasonably
priced cars but none at anywhere near
the price of s1295 that is made up of
the same high grade units as the
Premocar Magic Six.

Hudsons mentioned were as near
stock as is possible to get a race car.
Dear Larry: Who holds the worlds
record for ten miles on any course?-'

Answer: Tommy Milton, Duesen-
berg, 10 miles, five minutes, 20 and
1-5 seconds.
Mr.. Stone: Is castor oil o. X. to
use in a stock car?--Fan.
Answer: l would say that castor
oil is not at all necessary and far too
expensive for ordinary use.
