FLYING CLOUD
is not a racing car
but it's fast enough for
Pete De PaOl0

AUTOMOBILE racing has its plac.
n in the scheme of things, no doubt.
To the grucuing tests Of the Speedway
at Culver City, at Indianapolis, at
the Mona Grand Prn-is due large
part Of present day automobile design.
The 5OO-mile classic is the laboratory
which has gradually evolved and re-
vealed the possibilities Of speed and
power and acceleration-and endurance
without resort to cumbersome size
and weight.
But racing speed is for the Speedway
not for the public highway.
That's why the Flying Cloud is not
built to do 100 miles an hour It's
why We don't even claim 100 miles an
hour.
1t will do more than IS miles an hour
IS honest miles. And that's fast
enough. It faster than the average
driver ever wants to go. And it S faster
than the average driver ever has safe
and lawful opportunity to drive.
But the possession Of that IS miles per
hour capacity implies the possession of
other characteristics that the average
driver does want-the flashing accel-
Grafton that gets him away from the
traf6c-barier ahead of the pack; the
"ooom" that picks up the traffic peck

cts with incredible ease and with per.
feet safety; and the man-saving and
motor-saving surplus Of power for the
hills and the mountains.
That $ why Pete De Paolo. speed king
Of America, bought Flying Cloud for
his own use--when he s not burning up
the bricks at indianapolis; that S why
he joined the REQ sales-forces in South
ern California and is making 4 great
sales-record-and hosts Of new friends
in that toughest of all markets.
It's why he asked-and received-per-
mission to christen his world 5 champion
race-car-the car that in 1927 carried
him to his second worlds speedway
championship Flying Cloud Special"
His racing-car is not a REQ Flying
Cloud; neither is the REQ Flying Cloud
racing-car.
But they're both thoroughbreds.
They re both built to stand out above
the rank and file. They're both built
to stand the gaff-to go through" in
other words.
The REQ Flying Cloud has received NO
finer tribute it has received many
than Pete De Paolo paid it when he
gave its name to his own championship
racing car. and identified himself
with the organization that builds It.

PRE-MARRIACE
WRONGS ARE NOT
DIVORCE GROUNDS

LOS ANGELES, April 79.-To
marry woman without investiga-
ton Of her past indicates a lack Of
care for the future and subsequent
discovery of unchastity forms no
ground for divorce action, according
to n ruling Of Superior Judge Leon
Yankwich on file today.
The decision was handed down in
the case Of William Frederick Peitz-
Ike, who, in the form Of cross com
plant asked annulment of his mar
riagc to Myrtle Peitzke.
PcitzEc's petition declared he had
learned his wife was not "chastc
and virtuous,' as she represented
herself at the time Of the marriage.
Judge Yankwich declared the an
nulment would have been thrown
out Of court because it was not filed
properly but added that it could
have no weight in any event since
marriage is the gateway to re-
pcntcnce and virtue and those who
marry take each other for better or
worse. -
The court said its ruling was
founded on one by the supreme
court 20 years ago which declared
"such grounds for divorce would
give defendant no opportunity to be
good or to rectify previous errors. -

SUIT FOR LIBEL
FILED AGAINST
FRESNO PAPER

san FRANCISCO, April 10. -
Two hundred thousand dollars dam
ages are asked of the Fresno Morn
ing Republican by the American Ex
tension University of Los Angeles
in a libel suit on file in Superior
court today.
The suit, based on an article pub
lished in the Republican January p
of this year, alleged that the item
reflected on the character of the
university by reporting that Ga
Fresno students had dropped their
courses and refused to complete pay
mcnt upon learning that they could
not pass the state bar examination
at the completion of the course as
guaranteed by the institution.
The article which the plaintiffs
quoted included statement attrib-
uted to Howard X. James of Ala
media, former attorney for the Fed
eral Financial Company charging
that the financial setup of the Am
erican Extension University, the
Federal Finance company of Chica-
20 and the Brodie Burnham com
pany of Los Angeles and Chicago
were virtually under the same own
ership.

Causes Quarrel

There was no session of city court
this morning, three persons having
been brought to headquarters dur
ing the night but all were released
with no charge filed against them.
a family tangle led to the appre-
hension of two women, Maria Mar
tinez, 27, and Ophelia Mendoza, 2l.
Questioned, it was brought out that
one of the women had been ill and
when the husband of the other dis
turbed her by running an autmoObile
motor, the i'll woman objected. A
sharp retort from the other led to
an attack which ended when one of
the women brought heavy cup in
to play, using it as a club to silence
the other.
The police were called and after
the women were brought to head
quarters the matter was settled
amicably.
Alfanso Guinanes, %, of Heber

Phases of Seed Life.
THERE have been eathered 5

THERE have been gathered some in
teresting data with respect to the
latent life of seeds and their ability 70
Withstand very low temperatures. After
recalling instances IN which seeds
have sprouted after lying apparently
dead for many years. one investigator
gives the results of experiments on
suhlecting seeds to a freezing cold.
Oats. corn, fennei and some flower
seeds were exposed during 1Is days to
a temperature of 90 degrees p below
zero, Afterward, when placed in
suitable surroundings. nearly all of the
iennei. oats and corn seeds and many
of the others terminated. II is con-
Guided that the protoplaSm. or the

In state of inaction not comparable
to that Of smolderinhg FIRE. but
rather like that Of chemical mixture
which Is capable of forming a conlbins-
ton whenever the required conditions
OF temperature and illumination are

While many seeds possess extraordi-
nary vitality, stories Of the great length
OF time certain Of them have preserved
that vitality must be doubted in MANY
cases, The tale Of mummy wheat"
sprouting after having lain dormant in
Egyptian tombs for thousands of years
is an improbable one. No well AL
thenticsted instance Of such a fnd
is extant.
The length of time seeds will pre
serve their vitality differs astcnishinglv

Plants frequently appear In old

places where they nave never previously
