Superior performance, greater beau
ty, greater comfort and daded pro-
lection of precision are claimed by
the Packard Six through improve
ments to the car which has just
been announced.
In appearance refinement in
beauty is noticeable, but in keeping
with Packard's policy, there is no
drastic change to make it new
model, says William Alberts of the
Stafford -Alberts Auto Co. The most
noticeable feature to the driver is
the increase in power and the re-
sulting unusual performance The
company says the improved six will
out-perform, in traffic and speed,
any Packard car ever built, except
the Packard Eight.
Because of the growing tendency
of motor car owners to cover great
distances and to spend more and
more time in their cars, the utmost
in comfort is demanded by the public
and Packard asserts some of the
present changes incorporated into
the six with this in mind have
brought maximum ease of riding.
Lines of the enclosed bodies have
been lowered somewhat and the roof
line has been extended beyond the
windshield to give a permanent visor.
Head lamps have been made the
same in appearance as those used
on the Packard Eight and other
changes in body lines have enhanced
it's beauty.
A combination Of new motor head
with changed form of combustion
chamber, new intake and exhaust
manifolds, new spark and valve tim
ing and redesigned carburetor has

to this, there. is the practically un-

Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-08-15

resulted in an increase Of nearly
forty per cent in power, giving the
Six now more than eighty actual
horsepower. Because Of the increase
in power the clutch has been made
more rugged. A new form of rear
axle gears which, it is said by the
company, will prove as revolutionary
as the spiral bevel gears when they
were first adopted years ago by
Packard, has been adopted. Besides
taking care of the greater power,
the new gears are declared to make
the rear axle perfectly noiseless.
UThe same bore and stroke as used
before, three and one-half by five
inches, is found in the motor but
siderably larger. An Improvement
also has been made in the oil recti-
fier equipment with which, in Pack
ard cars, impurities are distilled
out of the motor oil, preserving it's
lubricating qualities and thus reduc
ing wear. Both the cylinder walls
and the journals of the crankshaft
now are honed by new special hon
ing machines, which give them a
glass-like surface.
Through new type of combina-
tion oil filler and breather, together
with an absolutely tight valve cham
Der cover, it is said the owner of
the car will be able to keep the
motor, if he chooses, as clean as a
table top.
AS a big safety factor, effective
ness of the four wheel bral1ng sys

performance of the car.
Such a wide variety of body types
is offered that the personal choice

Thursday Aug u, 1926, always afford
a new and novel entertainment. 1t is
true the old time features remain. Yet
novelties and European thrills are add

cred.
Among the features are the Flying Jor-
dams. the Peerless Potters, gymnasts /;
the Marking troupe of Chinese equili
brists; the Maxwell Trio, acrobats; Ar
thur Borella, the highest salaried clown
in America; the Florence family of rid

MataWan Hotel
Now PadIOCked

The Woodbine hotel at the New
York and Long Branch railroad station
on Main street has been padlocked and
the following notice posted on various
parts of the building Closed for v iolat-
ion of the National Prohibition act, by
order of the Court" This is the first
place in this immediate vicinity which
has been padlocked.
Some time ago it was rumored that
when the case came to court the pad
lock proceedings would take place,
but these rumors were not taken seri-
ously. Some weeks before the case
came up William A. Kennedy the pro-
prietor, moved out the bar room fix
lures and the old bar room became a
barber shop. But even this disguise
failed to fool the court and the order
placing the building under lock and key
for period OF one year was forthcom-
ing. It is said that Mr.. Kennedy will
seek some other line of business.
The old Aberdeen hotel across the
station yard from the Woodbine has
also been in trouble in the courts. The
court forced the rem oval of the bar
room fixtures.

Brawner For Sheriff

(FRoM THE MESA JoURNAL-TRIBUNE
Eight Democratic candidates for. sheriff OF
Maricopa county have filed their nomination pa
pers. AS a matter of cold fact however, there
but two candidates, for only by almost incon-
ceivabe fluke can one Of the other six be success
full at the primary And upon the choice that the
Democratic voters then make depends the party's
chance of electing sheriff in November.
Those two candidates are Walter Brawner and
Jerry Sullivan. All the others, good men though
several of them indisputably are, may as well be
forgotten Ralph Mcdonald for instance, has
brilliant record as peace officer and the whole
southside is proud Of him. Either Head or Low
ry, the Journal Tribune feels sure, would make an
excellent sheriff With the qualifications Of the
others this paper is not so familiar.
But the situation is such that the Democrats
opposed to Jerry Sullivan must for the good Of
their party center their support upon the man cap
able of giving him the stiffest pre- primary oppo-
sition. They must not allow personal friendships
to blind them to the facts as they exist and cause
them to scatter their votes among several weak
candidates, no one of whom stands the ghost of
show.
All who will impersonaly sound the political
currents as they affect the nomination for sheriff.
this paper has done, must agree that of the
en- Democrats contesting with Sullivan the strong
est is unquestionably Walter Brawner. For this
reason and also because it would be hard to select
man better qualified to fill the office the Jour
nal Tribune would like to see the weaker candi-
dates withdraw in his favor.
certain element is concentrated behind Jerry
Sullivan. Although it includes some good and con-
scientious citizens it is in many respects not the
most desirable element of society. zrt~.rs~.
TO be perfectly frank, Sullivan's supporters
include everyone who would like to see Maricopa
county 'Fas wet as the ocean, All the bone drYs,
the moderate drys, the people who believe in law
enforcement, those who would regret to see the
return of conditions that prevailed in 1923 and

CAR THIEVES MAKE THE
 BEST OF IT IN JUNEAU

The Essix auto owned by H. l. Lu- cas, proprietor of the Juneau Motor Company, was stolen recently from In front of house on Willoughby Ave- nue where an employe of the motor company had left it while he was eating lunch The thief, an Indian lad about 15 years of age, ran the car short distance down the ave- .nue and attempted to go straight on past the Totem grocery insead of following thet meanderings of the avenue which makes a sharp turn at that place. The result was that the car hit the bull rail which was all that prevented it from going on to the beach below. AS it was the car was badly damaged by it's guards being warped and an axel bent. While the identity of the Indian lad is known MT. Lucas has so far taken no steps looking to his arrest.
 1t is said that three cars were stolen in Juneau last week, one be- ing found several days later up ill the Perseverance canyon. Of the cars stolen one was taken from a garage which was broken into at night and the others were stolen from the streets in daylight.-Strol- ler's Weekly.
