HICAGO is not the only Illinois
city where there is a desire to
bring back thoroughbred racing.
~ A few downstate tracks may
soon attempt to operate, and II the
comeback is as successful as 1t vas in
Chicago last year, several additional
meetings may be booked a season later.
East st. Louis is the spot most big
turf operators are watching. With
racing barred across the Mississippi in
st. Louis, It is figured a meeting or the
Illinois side would attract crowd that
would rank well up with those at other
prominent tracks.
Aurora, always a fairly good harness

Chicago. is another city in which the

Early attendance reports from tracks

West occurred seven tricks only.
At trick six north realized that the
game could not be saved unless south
could get in with his winning spades.
The only chance to make a re-entry
for south was in the heart suit. and
north, therefore. sacrificed his fling
with tina end in view.
West never doubted that north held
the queen of hearts and did not dare
refuse the king. lest North should
switch to clubs and eventually make
the queen OF hearts as well as tho king.
At trick IL west naturally played as
he supposed through the queen of
hearts in order TO make the Jack good
in the dummy before giving up com
mand of the diamond suit. and in the
last three tricks south reaped the bene-
fits of his partners astuteness.

HEAVIEST OCTOBER. AT NASH MOTORS
Indications Point To Un- usually Large Business
 For November

Nash Motors had the biggest Oc- tober in its history. and indications point to an unusually large business in November. October sales showed 10 per cent increase over the same month last year. Actual figures were 4.245 passenger cars shipped last month, as against s.s2s cars in Oo- tober, 1929.
 This has been the biggest year in Nash history" said E. H. McCarty, general sales manager of the Nash Motors company. Almost 52,00o Nash cars were shipped between January l and October 31, and while the spring and simmer seasons are now behind us indications from every section of the country point to an unusually heavy demand for cars throughout November.
 "The strong position in the indus try occupied by Nash Motors is due largely to the fact that the company always has endeavored to build hon.

N. M. A. DIRECTORS HOLD CONVENTION
Meeting To Convene In Washington November
 Sixteenth

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-What is D; ;edicted to he a meeting of far reaching importance to the motor car owners of the United States will be held in the national capital when the officers and directors of the National Motorists association assemble here in annual convention, Mover: Der 16-17
 This Is to be the first gathering of the forces of the young giants of the motoring world which was formed in Chicago 8 little more than a year ago with 8 few scattered affiliations and has since grown into huge na- tional autt mobile organization with nearly $50 strong motor clubs within it's fold.
 It is expected that delegates rep- resenting virtually every section of since there will be taken up matters of vital concren to car owners every where in the United States.
 The story of the formation, the growth and the achievements of the N M A Is one of the wonder stories of the motor world. Founded in faith, lacked by enthusiasm and promoted with earnestness and sincerity this young liviathan of automobiledom reaches It's first annual convention the largest motoring organization in tho world.
 Already enrolled under the banner of the N. M. A. are most of the large state motoring organizations of the country and Lsany. of the individual clubs located in the large cities of the land. Hardly week passes that does not bring another large or small utilization and scarcely a day goes by that does not find the N. M. A. en- gagged in wagiEg a fight for the bet terment of the conditions surround ing the ownership and operation of motor vehicles.
 With national headquarters located here in Washington. the N. M. A. al- ready has well-laid plans to become active before the next session of Con- gress in the interest of the nearly 500.000 car owners 1t represents.
 Some of the subjects for discussion in the forthcoming convention are:
 Nationwide campaign to extend the pioneer safety of automobile clubs, on the basis of practical methods for eliminating traffic hazards, improv- ing streets and highways, and pro- noting sane regulations, rather than on the basis of spasmodic safety slo- gan campaigns.
 Correlation of anti-theft work throughout the country. by means of closer cooperation among hundreds of automobile clubs.
 Interchange of legislative experi- ences for the purpose of advancing uniform automobile laws, so far as practical with reference to peculiar local conditions.
 Development of a country wide sys- tenn of energy, mechanical and touring aid, so that eventually the tourist will be able to find service through the chains of official automobile club garages radiating in every direction, through every state federated in the National Motorist association.
 Standardization of motor vehicle headlight regulations, so that motor

OLDSMOBILE SIX
 HITS 68 MILES

JOE ANGELES. Nov. 1o.-Right on. the heels of the startling achievement of driving the first automobile across the continent with only high gear "Cannonball" Baker has established another new automobile record.
 Using the same Oldsmobile "Six" that he had driven from New York to Los Angeles in high" Baker, two days after his arrival in the Califor- nia city. took 1t to the. Beverly Hills speedway and made some remarkable speed demonstrations.
 In the presence of Jimmy" Mur- phy, speed king of the world, and Lew Wilson, both internationally known "AAA" drivers, Baker put his Olds- mobile "Six" around the bowl at the rate of 6S miles per hour-a brand new record for stock car in the six cylinder. 169-cubic inch displacement class.
 Motorcycle Officers John Morton of Santa Monica, and J. c. Clarke of Los Angeles, trailed Bakers Oldsmobile Six" around the broad track and checked the speed as 6S miles per hour, exactly the same as checked by the stop watches of Cruse Carriel of the Los Angeles Herald, Murphy and Wilson.
 This speed test was staged by Bak- CT to prove that the Oldsmobile Six" after travelling 3.674 miles in high"

estly and to sell its product at the lowest possible margin of profit. This policy has resulted in outstand- ing value which the public has been quick to recognize. Because of this, rapid progress on a sound basis has been possible.
 New buildings now in progress of construction at the Nash six-oylinder car plant and additional equipment at the four cylinder car plant will make possible increased production to meet the demand for Nash cars In 1924"
 Nash cars are given an A grade rating for fire insurance. This means that the Nash. both six and four, carry the lowest automobile rate covering fire insurance.

Y0UNT SELLS STAR

W. H. Yount, whose fame as seller of automobiles and a judge of Stars extends from the beach at Honolulu to the red ridges of Red Mountain, has affiliated himself with the Charles Hammond organization and is now busily. engaged in fitting new stars in the firpament, meaning thereby that he's selling Stars for the ID & S" Motor company, Bir- mingham dealers for Durant and Star cars. Of course, Yount also sells Du- rants when the opportunity arises. ists may have sufficient driving light without endangering other vehicles by glare; and so that the manufac- turers' problem of meeting the great variety of requirements in the various states will be simplified.
 Intensive development of good roads work, and of touring service.
 Improvement and moderiZation of internal automobile club organization and operation for the purpose of bet tering the service given to members.
 One of the biggest campaign fea- lures to be outlined at this meeting will be one of eliminating railroad grade crossings and dangerous high way conditions. The slogan to be adopted Is:
 Not traffic safe for the highways,
 But highways safe for the traffic."

 Pacific coast motor authorities were loud in their praise of the Oldsmobile Six and admitted that Beverly Hills demonstration upset all their former ideas of the capacity of high efficien- cy, small displacement engines. Fol lowing the exhibition, the back of the car was lacked up and inspected by Murphy, Wilson and newspaper men, who certified that standard gear ra- tio and stock parts only were used. The witnesses also testified that the car had not been changed mechanical ly since its arrival after the high gear run from coastto- coast.
