SHANGHAI CAR MARKET
 SHOWING IMPROVEMENT

The motor car market in Shanghai is showing signs of recovery, accord ing to dispatches from Trade Commis- sioner Hoyt. The representative of one of the largest automotive manu- factureres in the United States has re- ported that late sales have been bet ter than any time in the past eight months, which is particularly encour- aging as business has been dull in all lines. The greatest demand he re- ports is for medium-priced passenger cars.

THERE'S NO SUCH MAN

Oh, am the fellow who aims his
 lights
 When roaming over the roads O co.
 nights; Who aims his lights and toots his
 horn, My fellow motorists to warn. I never speed beyond the law, The squarest driver you ever saw, However rough the road I ride, I always keep the proper side. I always have sufficient lunch For five or six or larger bunch; And always extra oil or gas For "Sapheads" one is sure to pass When ere a Hiking Guy I meet Give him a boost along his way, I picked up dozens every day. I always know the shortest cuts And "peddle the bunk" to other Nuts. I'll loan a rim or even a tire; There's NO SUCH MAN, AND I'M A LIAR.

1 gineer, but fast bringing to compile tion, if not perfection, the car destin- ed to be the forerunner of his present vast enterprise.
 This first car, named by MT. Ford the "999", Barney undertook to pilot in the face of entries from all parts of the country, most of them much more powerful, in appearance at least, than the little "999". It is history now that Barney won, and from that day, until his retirement from actual racing 16 years later, this wonder speedster's ca reer was consistent record of great and astonishing successes on the track. In connection with MT. Oldfields' first association with Henry Ford, the latter has this to say, in the course of his autobiography appearing in Me- clure's: -:
 "I did not want the responsibility of racing the '999', neither did Cooper (Mr. Ford's partner). Cooper said he knew a man who lived on speed nothing could go too fast for him. He wired Salt Lake City and on came a professional bicycle rider named Bar ney Oldfield. He said he would try anything.
 "Said Oldfield just before the race at Crosse Point: Well, this chariot may kill me, but they will say after wards that was going like h. when she took me over the bank. And he did go like h.. He was about half a mile ahead of the nearest man at the end of the race!"
 Past forty, Barney still kept win ming, but in 1919 he became president of the Oldfield Tire Company, devot- ing his incomparable knowledge of tire requirements to the manufacturing of that product. Tires had been the mo- tor masters study for twenty years, now he would share his unique ex- perience with all.
 Incidentally, it is of interest to note that the "world's record" of five miles in 5:26, made by the Ford "999" in that granddaddy of all races at Crosse Point in 1902, pales into insignificance when Jimmy Murphy's marvellous feat of 94.4S miles per hour on Oldfields, at the 1922 5O0-mile Indianapolis clas- sic is considered, or that of Joe Thom- as' extraordinary feat (Oldfields again)) of 107.7 miles per hour in the 150-mile event at San Francisco in June.
