Purity and safety in soap
are as good for clothes as for compilations

no you really believe that pure
IL soap should be used only for
toilet and bath, and that humber
tasks must be done with harsher
soaps?
If iharsh soaps hurt your hands,
do they not also hurt your clothes,
and the other things you clean?
Ifonly for the sake of your hands,
purity and safety are as important in
the soap you use for household tasks
as they are in soap for toilet and
bath.
Lotions and creams can soothe,
but never prevent the cruelties,, of
hours of cleaning and washing with
harsh soaps. Whereas, if you use
Ivory for everything, you are as mer-
ciful to your hands as if you merely
washed them in Ivory and lukewarm
water so many times day-which
of course can do them no injury.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1925-03-18

And even the sturdiest and heav-
lest household linens respond CRATE
fully to purity like Ivory's-no not
only are they clean, but they never
smell "soapy" and they wear ever SO
much longer.
So though you may have thought
Ivory too pure and too good to use
for ordinary household tasks, you
will really find it in the end such
thorough economy that, like many
women, you will probably never use
anything else!
1t pays to give everything you
wash the protection you ordinarily
give only to finer things.
What more could you ask Of soap
than Ivory can give for any purpose!
Why bother with different soap for
each of the half dozen soap and
water tasks in your home, when Ivory
can do them all so welli

DURAY HANGS UP NEW
RECORDS FOR LAPS

Leon Duray, who made his
debut in Altoona as race
driver when the big bowl was
opened in 1923. gave the rail
birds a real thrill at the Upton
oval when he broke the track
record by turning in a mile and
one-fourth lap in IS seconds, o.
an average OF 1885 miles an
hour.
The former Altoona mark was
made last fall by the late Ernie
Ansteroerg. Duesenberg driver.
who turned in a lap Of l25.7
miles an hour.
Duray has a habit of breakin :
trial lap records, He turned IN
the best mark at Culver City
early this year and on May 30
al Indianapolis he shattered the
Hoosier record. Now he holds
the Altoona mark.
The Washington times., 1925-07-07

Built at Steep Angle.
The minimum speed Of 10
miles an hour has been set for
the dedication race and any ma
chine failing to attain this rate
will be eliminated from the
championship contest. This rule
was made by officials OF the
speedway to safeguard the driv-
ers. A slower speed would not
enable the cars to stick on the
board track which is banked
at an angle Of As degrees on the
turns.
This heavy banking Of the
track, however. will be a great
boon to the drivers in their en-
deavors to smash world records
Sweeping from the straighta.
ways. more than 500 feet long.
on to the turns. the daredevil
drivers will not have to slacken
their speed for fear OF overturn-
ing or skidding over the top of
the track. Racing officials OF
many years Of experience have
declared the Washington speed
way to be the fastest OF any
track yet designed.
Fred j. Wagner. who has been
official starter in all the big
races for the last quarter cen.
tury. said in his conservative
style: Il wouldn't be at all sur
prised If Tommy Milton or young
De Paolo or some dark horse
smashed records next Saturday"
The banking Of the curves
three degrees higher than those
Of the Culver City. Calf, track.
where most Of the records have
been hung up. he pointed out,
has warranted the prediction
that new high speeds will be
attained here.
A purse of $4,000 has been of.
fered by the Speedway. The
lions share of this will go to
the driver who is first to cover
the 223 laps. He will be awarded
the coveted checkered flag and
IS, 900 in addition to his aug,
mented claim to the title of
world champion for 1925. SSec'
ond prize will be $500; third,

tits not the start. it's the fin
ish that counts"
And that's a mighty truthful
saying. too, as far as automobile
racing is concerned. The start
has little to do with the winning.
It's the going in between and
the finish that count.
In the third OF Altoona Speed
way race events a total OF forty,
four entries faced Starter Fred J.
Wagner. Fourteen got the flag
to step on it" for the first race
and sixteen faced the starter last
Flag Day. At the 1924 Labor
Day event fourteen more left the
wire on the 250-mile grind.
Only two cars are abreast of
each other in the start and the
drivers pull for pole position
and for place in the start away.
For the Inaugural race with
fourteen entries. Earl Cooper in
his Studebaker was the pole en-.
try and lte put-putted away in
the lead. holding at least the first
lap advantage. and becoming the
nrSt speedway leader ever to per
form on the Altoona bowl.
The cars all start two abreast
and Cooper had as his right hand
pal Bennett Hill. Seven tires
were included. Starting away
from the wire the cars speed up
single file and whiZz around ION
parade" for the first lap. At
the wire for the end of the first
lap comes the go" flag and then
the race begins. Pole position
and other places are no longer
adhered TO. Everybody is out for
the first place.
Eddie Hearne started off the
first race in sixth position. He
ended first.
At the Flag Day race last June
Ira Vail was given the coveted
'-pole position" and he was the
pathfinder around the first lap.
Jimmy Murphy. the winner, was
In the first tier.
For the Labor Day event in
1924 a new driver. making his
maiden race, Clarence RED"
Cairens with a Vail special was
given the pathfinding position as
pole driver. Ernie Ansterberg
another youthful pilot, was placed
at his right.
1t Is interesting to note that
Tommy Milton. a three-race en-
try in the Altoona classics. has
been in the last tier at the start
on two Of the three occasions.
