They will go a little more than half

PROPER CARE ADDS
TO TIRE MILEAGE

BY actual tests on bus fleets, where
tires are subjected to constant usage
under all kinds of weather conditions,
it was found, according to tire men, that
at least IS per cent more mileage could
be added by proper care of tires. In
some cases the increased mileage ran
as high as 100 per cent.
This means that when tires are
checked so the right air pressure can
be maintained, the wheels checked for
proper alignment, tires inspected so
small cuts and bruises can be repaired
before they grow into costly and dan
gerous damages to the tires, the result
is much lower tire costs
While the owner of the average pas
senger car does not subject his car to
anything like the service demanded OF
a truck or bus, still with Summer and
warmer weather just ahead, all cars will
cover the bulk of their mileage for the
year, within the next few months.
Another factor which contributes
much to poor mileage, is the use OF tires
that are too small. Time after time,
when smaller tires have been replaced
with those of larger size, an increase
in mileage has resulted.

Prospect Of Road With No Speed Limit
Is Offered as Tourist Lure by Cuba

italS of six Cuban provinces. 1t will
have an auxiliary road system connec-
ting it with ports not reached by the
main highway and with more than 1875
sugar centralS.
The cost of the secondary system,
parts of which are under construction,
together with the central highway, will
be more than $300,0O0,O00. Warren
Brothers, American engineers, were
awarded contracts aggregating $60,000,-
600, while Associated Cuban Contrac-
tors, Inc, hold contracts for the re-
mamder. The highway will be reached
from the United States by way Of the
spectacular Overseas highway, which
cuts 1875 miles across the palm -fringed
Florida keys from Miami to Key West.
An eight-hour ferry ride from Key
West to Havana will take the motorist
to the new highway, which is scheduled
for completion in 1880.
The Cuban government has allowed
foreign cars free entry with three
months gratuity. The highway will
be free of grade crossings, and at no
point will have more than a 5 per cent
grade.

prove design, performance and econ
ony of the modern passenger auto
mobile the powers that govern auto
mobile racing in the United states are
soon to venture on radical change.
May 80, at Indianapolis, the tiny
one-man cars of 81 cubic inch cylinder
displacement will face the wire for the
last time on this speedway, which Tor
20 years has been what newspaper men
often refer to as "the crucible in which
motor cars are refined" The result OF
the tests there has been continuous
development of racing strain. which
may be likened to improvement OF the
breed in race horses.
1.-THE racing car of today" says w. D.
Edenburn, member of the contest board

ton, lis like the race horse. 1t has
been bred so fine that it is no longer
any good for draught work or pas
senger work.
Next year, therefore, racing will go
back to the two-man type Of car with
limits on size of engines. modified so
as to bring the cars within the class
commonly used on the highways by the
average motorist."
Race Average Gains.
This year will be the eleventh con-
secutive time Mr.. Edenburn has been
in charge of the annual 500-mile con-
test. He has been connected in various
capacities with the running of every
race since the beginning, in 1909.
In 1911 came the victory of Ray Har-
roun, in the Marmon Wasp" a car
displacing 447 cubic inches and aver
aging IA miles an hour for the distance
Comparing that with the performance
of the car which won in 1925 gives
some idea of what has been achieved
In 1925 Peter De Paolo. holder of the
present 500-mile mark for indianapolis,
came in ahead, having averaged 1O1.13
miles an hour.
Harroun's car was not the older two
man type which carried mechanician as
we'll as driver Harroun rode alone,
with a rear-view mirror as his me-
chanic. De Paolo's was the immediate
predecessor of the 91-inch car OF to-
day. It displaced 1872 inches in all.
Since the tiny 91'S have been in use
De Paolo's time has not been equaled,
but it has been closely approached.
This being the fourth year for the
91-inch class. the hope is that the
"vest-pocket" power plants will follow
suit and set the record higher. Mr..

Benz remained almost throughout
his life a prophet unappreciated in his
own land, for only distrust and lack
of interest greeted his first real sue
cesses and it was left to France and
the United States to give him his first
recognition and support.
