Tells of Trip Through Mud

CASTOR Chevrolet. the idol of auto.
mobile race enthusiasts before his
death several years ago. won the
paramount: victory of his racing ca
roer the internal ttonal 5OO-mile
g swccpstakc race at Indianapolis--on
tires which carried comparatively
low air pressure. This was in 1920.
and since then many of the leading
4, race drivers have reduced the air
-prcsSure in their tires as much as
: possible, and have ridden "on air" in
, the great speed tests.
This interesting and timely dis
! closure was made by Barney Oldfield.

.l BRtticd Mud without Chains.
Il left Akron under the most ad-
verse weather and road conditions for
the Pacific coast, and l battled mud
and inclement weather the entire dis
tance to Los Angeles" the famous
racing engineer said in his letter to
Mr.. Firestone.
+; The first day out l made approx
matcly SEQ miles in the mud. The
second Gay L again hattled the mud
for a distance of 500 miles The
third day made only zoo miles in the
mud. The fourth day | encountered
mountains and desert roads. Arriv-
ing in El Paso. l found that my odo-
meter had registered zoo miles more
than the distance scheduled on the
maps OF the different routes which I
followed. This was due to the fact
THAT l did not use chains. Conse-
quentiy, my rear wheels were spin
ming in the mud. All of this distance
was negotiated without chains, and l
passed many cars going in the same
direction that were equipped with
chains and were having great diff
Guilty making any progress at all.
Tn the sandy desert roads could
pull out of the roads and go around
cars in the soft sand. This l was
never able to do before with the ordi-
nary high-pressure tires. On my ar
rival in Los Angeles my odometer
showed a total of 2.120 miles.
Il found that my car was in perfect
condition. after the toughest cross
country driving / have ever done. I
can heartily recommend balloon tires
after their marvellous performance on
this trip"
4 brief study of the records shows
that Barney Oldfield has been a
stanch advocate Of low-air-pressure
tires for many years. AS far back as
the Los Angeles-toPhoe desert
race" which was won by Oldfeld
along with the title of master driver
of the world, Oldfield believed in rid
ing on air. In this classic he used
fabric tires with two extra plies and
carried thirty pounds of air pressure
in the front tires and thirty-tve in
the rear.

Philippine Sugar Crop
Promises Better Times

MANILA, Oct. 23.-The centri-
fugal sugar crop of the Philippine
Islands for the coming season, 1924
1925, is estimated at 41S,00O metric
tons by the Philippine Sugar Asso-
citation. i This is an increase of
107,911 tons, or 3f.7 percent. over
the previous year. In a statement
the sugar association says:
This Is expected to be the larg-
est increase in tons shown since the
of modern sugar culture
in the islands, although not the
largest percentage of increase shown
in any year. The big increase In
production will mean much more
money for the planters and better
times for the islands generally, es-
pecially if the upward tendency of
prices continues. Practically every
sugar central in the Philippines will
have a big increase in output this
year"
