LIKE AUTO ROAD RACE.

Did you ever watch a great
automobile road race i'll which
flock of drivers were fighting for
gold and glory? AS they near the
finish they open up everything.
They do not stop for anything,
because they know that if they
stop they are out of the running.
Bending over the wheel, helmet
and goggles covered with oil and
CRIME, jaws set, eyes blazing, dri-
vers ride with death at their
shoulders those last gruelling
miles.
PRESS RACE is GRUELLING.
AS the candidates go down the
home stretch in the PRESS CAM
paign, there is something about
their race which calls to mind the
finish of the great road classics of
the automobile racing game.
Every hour is precious, and ev-
cry day is golden, and every can
didate knows this and is working
night and day.
Excitement and intense activity
prevails among the contestants in
the Salesmanship Campaign as
each club member realizes that he
or she is within reach of prize
worth nearly $1,000, and to be won
or lost during the next two weeks,
depending almost entirely upon
the number of votes turned in this
week, while the Last BIG Period"
is on, and which expires at IL
O'Clock, Monday night, August 9th.
Candidates are now going after
-eyery subscriptian and extanaicn
on subscriptions that they have
secured earlier in the campaign,
in sight; they realize that they
must fortify their present stand
ing with every available subscrip-
ton and extension, as, at the pres
ent writing, 1T is ANYBODY'S
RACE" So close are the candi-
dates running that any one Of
them can win a motor car in the
short time that remains.
The second period of the Sales
manship Club, which closed on
Saturday night, was grand sue
cess. Tens of thousands - yes,
hundreds of thousands-of votes
were issued, and every LIVE club
member profited nightly.
AN EVEN RACE.
1t is a strange coincidence, too,
and something very unusual in
affairs of this kind, but each Of
the club members who are striv-
ing for the capital prize auto ben
Gifted so equally during the period
just closed that not without hair
line figuring could today's leader
be determined.
The campaign, therefore, so far
as the relative standing of the
club members is concerned, de-
ponds almost entirely upon the
results attained by the different
club members between now and
the finish of the campaign as to
whom the winner will be.
This is not mere talk" for the
sake of telling it, but it is real
fact-theories and ridiculous, silly
rumors Notwithstanding. Hence
the struggle for supremacy will be
fought out during the next few
days because the campaign comes
to a close little more than two
weeks from this date. The final
close of the campaign will be Sat
urday night, August IA.
During this final BIG credit Pc
Rod, subscriptions will count BIG,
and there is a BIG lot of them to
be obtained if you make effort to
secure them. In fact they count
almost as many votes now as they
did in the second period. For ex-
ample a five-year subscription
turned in during the third period

Numbers alone would have meant
nothing. however, for planes ana
motors would have been, at best, no
better than those of other countries.
Quietly both government services
have been at work to keep the Unit
ed States ahead and not just merely
abreast of the rest Of the world in
aircraft development. Both the
army and navy have co-operated
with engine builders such as the
Packard Motor Car Company and
with plane builders In their activi-
ties and have themselves, at Me.
Cook field and the Naval Aircraft
factory In Philadelphia, carried ON
development work entirely their own
without any fanfare Of trumpets.
AS result the United States now
has two motors which are attract
ing world wide attention, the 700
horsepower Packard engine and an
other Packard motor similar in gem
eral character but larger, develop
ing 800 horsepower; the fastest land
plane: the fastest seaplane; the fast
est and most serviceable amphibian
plane: the fastest and largest single
motored bomber; the largest land
plane; the largest flying boat; the
flying boat capable of carrying the
greatest load: the only planes and
pilots capable of being launched into
the air from battleship catapult;
the fastest big bomber Of any type
and the fastest observation plane.
That America would not be help
less in the air should an emergency
arise might be indicated by these
accomplishments, when to them is
coupled the knowledge that each
represents completed development
and that factories of the country
could be put into production in rec
ord time on every item of equip
ment.

Dodge Brothers Cars
Conquer Another Desert

The Dodge Brothers car. which
was the first to penetrate the Cobb
Desert of Central Asia with the
American Museum of National His
tory expedition. has now added an
other bit of pioneering to it's recor0
by being the first automobile to enter
the Kalahart desert in South Africa
The exploit is revealed in the fol-
lowing article from 'The Cape. Ar

West and south Of Livingstone the
country is very uniform, and the
vegetation very similar. All the
roads follow the courses of the rivers
until the tsetse fly area is reached
where the roads become nothing
more than ill-defined tracks.
"The tsetse fly was more prevalent
in areas where game abounded and
appeared to follow the game. De-
spite the association of sleeping
sickness with the tsetse fly, that dis
ease was not prevalent in the area
traversed by the expedition.
"A number of native tribes were
encountered, and they were all of O
friendly and peaceable disposition.
Every variety Of game was encount-
cred. including elephants. girattes
and zebras.

with transport, and the large Dodge

to regions where no mechanical
transport had ever before been used.
One Of the achievements of this lorry
was the traversing of sand ridge.
