SPEEDWAY RAGE

INDIANAPOLIS, Mar. 5 Especially.
Tommy Milton, the 1921 A. A. A.
Champion driver, the Worlds Speed
King, and winner of the last Indiana
polls 500-miAe race, has filed his entry
for the 1929 five century at Indiana
polls on May 30. The much titled
driver has nominated the eighth car
for the race and will carry number
eight, the number which gave Joe
Dawson and the National a victory
in 1912.
In making his entry Milton has not
disclosed the make of car he will
drive In the coming race. After he
won the last 500 mile with Louis
Chevrolet's eight cylindered Fronte-
mac, he turned his attention to the
Durant Special, which was not COM
pleted in time for the Hoosier Classic.
and, finishing out the season with
this car, won the championship. The
car was constructed by Harry Miller,
the Los Angeles engineer and is a
very fast car. 1t is possible that
Tommy may drive this car in the
S00-mile but he has not announced
wealthy st. Paul dairyman is going
to have a new mount for 1922.
Milton has come to the front in
the last few years and in 1920 he
drove the 16-cylinder creation of
Fred Duesenburg faster than any
automobile has ever travelled. ayerag-
ing 154.6 miles an hour over the
sands at Daytona, Florida, and
smashing the marks of Ralph De-
Palma, who has held the Speed King

Tommy got his start toward the
1921 championship when he won 1000
points by taking first place il the
indianapolis 500-mile and gained a
total Of 2,230 for the season. The
champion started the 1921 season with
a. second at Los Angeles, then a sixth
at Fresno, next his Indianapolis win,
followed by a first in the Tacoma
25O- mile, third at Santa Rosa. second
at Los Angeles and second at San

Unlike the majority OF the present
dav stars Of the speedways Milton got
his first racing experience on the
dirt tracks, starting in races on the
Hamline track near St Paul and for
several seasons Milton was the lead
ing pilot on the dirt track CIRCUIT
Now that he has become a champion
and a star Milton has moved TO Los
Angeles and calls California home.

SALESMEN NEED
CARS OF GREAT
RELIABLY I !.

Selling passenger cars for use by
the statesmen OF big commercial
houses is a branch Of the motor
car sales business that is in a class

of a motor car is not primarily inter-
ested In the exact costs of operation,
while the buyer for the commercial
house is interested in very little else.
Gents per mile" is the one thing that
stirs his attention. and the car that
cannot make a. satisfactory showing
in that regard has little chance for
consideration.
"The fact that Packard single skies
are beginning to be used by some OF
the big commercial houses OF the
West for their statesmen gives us not
a little satisfaction on that account.
declared l.. NJ. Bankhead of the Smith
Motor Sales company. 1T is true
that the price of the single six is con-
siderably above that OF the cars that
are most frequently chosen for COM
mercial service. but the much longer
life of the Packard more than offsets
the added original cost by the saving
In depreciation.
"As for operating costs we always
welcome the opportunity to show the
ability of the single six. in that re-
spect. 1t has been our custom to
turn a single six over TO the CONNER
cial house buyer to drive for a 100
or 200-mile run and to base our
claims on the results he gets. The
last test of this sort which was made
showed an average of more than 20
miles per gallon of gasoline and re-
suited in sale.
For statesmen who have a large
territory to cover and drive many
miles IN day the ease of riding and
ease of handling of the single six
have a distinct dollars and cents
value. The cents per mile standard
is the one, however, that really deter
mines the sale Of any car for COM
mercial usage and that we are al
ways glad to submit the single six
to be measured~by it."

MUCH PROSPERITY

DETROIT, Mar. 3 -(Special)-
That motor car manufacturing pros
perity is extending well over Canada
is evidenced by the recent reports
coming from various manufacturing
centers in the Dominion. New pro-
duction records are being established
by many plants, chief among which
are the General Motor plants, Willys
Overland and Ford. The production
of the new Oakland Six is expected
to begin early this month by the
newly organized Oakland company.

Beyond any vestige of doubt. the
new series Chalmers Six stands
alone in the motor world today as an
example of what really can be done
by improved manufacturing methods
and a very real desire TO give some
thing of genuine value for the lowest
possible price"

According to @. f. ID. of The Even

Ferguson and Wallace Reid, is a pic
ture well worth seeing. His incisive
and perspicuous comments are as fol-
lows:
THAT all the world loves lover
never seemed more true than yester-
day afternoon at the Century. While
all the world was, of course, not
present. that portion assembled took
Peter Ibbotson' to their hearts, car
essed il, sighed over it and many
we're the furtive dabs at regions opti-
cal IL we were a press agent we
should say it was a film that makes
supposedly strong men choke with
emotion Near its close our compan
ion ventured an inquiry. In attempt
ing a reply, we found our voice had
suddenly become exceedingly uncer-
tain and quite indifferent to its nor
NAL pitcn A hasty nod saved the
situation and our own reputation as
a hard-boiled critic.
IF there breathes man or woman
who passes through Peter Ibbetson
with the more tender emotions un-
scathed their souls must be dead in
deed When we first left its spell
yesterday it seemed to us the great
est romance we had ever seen on the
screen. Looking back on it in coo
perspective and with calm delibera-
ton. we still adhere TO our first i'm
preston and make but one excep-
on-Edward SheldOn's Romance
But there is something more spiri-
tual, more heavenly beautiful about
the current film that Doris Keane's
famous vehicle did not achieve. Peter
Ibbetson' elevates you; sets your soul
a-throbbing. 1t represents mile
stone in the progress of the native
motion-picture industry.
I'VE shall not attempt a vulgar re
counting of this exquisite fancy. The
lifelong love of Gogo and Mimsi
from the days when as children they
romped in their old-fashioned gar
dens to the time when, aged anC
gray. they are called by death. is toe
fragile to bear handling. 1t is a pic
ture for dreamers: it offers solace t.
those sorely troubled in spirit There
is no last-minute happy ending
tucked on.
THE production itself is a splendiC
achievement and George Fitzmaurice
deserves a full need of praise. Il
YOU miss Peter Ibbetson,' you're very
