New Victor Radio
To Be Displayed
At |. V. Company

The new Victor radio viii be on
display Monday morning at the l.
V. Hardware store. This interest
ing announcement was made today
by Warren Currier, sales manager
of the firm.
Music lovers and radio fans have
been impatiently awaiting the ad-
vent of the Victor Talking Machine
Company's latest musical achieve
ment. Those who have been expect
ing something unusual will not be
disappointed is the verdict of the
few who have had an opportunity
to hear its remarkable tone quail
ities.
Many unique features are EN-
bodied, chief of which is the Micro
Synchronous Automatic tuning con
troll operated over a full vision
Illuminated scale, An improved
power amplifier and a distinctive
Victor electric-dynamic speaker are
housed in a beautiful walnut con
sole cabinet of the type that one
would expect to find in Victor
product.
In the combination instrument,
which embodies the Victor radio and
pllonograph, one is fascinated by tie
unusual depth and fidelity of tone.
Record reproductions are amplified
through the radio and electro-dy
mamie speaker. And, no matter how
low ii is tuned, every note is a per-
feet reproduction without the slight
est trace Of distortion.
Technically speaking, this new
Victor product employs four stages
of miero-tuned radio frequency in
push-pull amplification with 2-24S
power tubes making 8 tubes in all.
One should hear it whether he is
interested in radio or not as the I'M
proyements are quite remarkable.
1t is stated that the Victor fac
tory produces every part of it. The
recent amalgamation of Victor and
r. c. A.. has placed at the disposal
of the Victor factory the greatest
resources of materials, patents and
engineering skill of any radio fac
tory in America.

Local Truckman
Says Silvertowns
The Only Thing

X. s. Engebretson, of this city,
who operates fleet of 25 trucks
hauling produce between the valley
and coast points, and between fields
and packing sheds here, knows his
trucks, according to Dale Ramsey,
of the Safety Corner Service Sta
tion.
Ramsey also asserts that Enge-
bretson knows his tires. Engebret-
son recently purchased three Inter
national trucks, the first Of which
is shown in the cut accompanying =
this article. The truck carries the
new type trailer wheels, which have
been found money savers where
heavy hauling is to be done.
Feeling that the best in trucks
demands the best M tires, Engebret-
son specified Goodrich Silvertowns
on his purchase, which was wheeled
around to the Safety Corner Service
Station, valley distributors for
Goodrich tires.
There Dale Ramsey decided that
the best equipment called for the
Goodsieh Silyertown Oil Field spe-
cial This is new tire designed by
Goodrich following demand from
Texas oil fields for a tire that could
stand up under the heavy banging
tile trucks receive.
Eight such tires were placed ON
the trailer wheels. The tires are
50 by 6 inches, u ply, special con-
struetion carcass and a new special
ly designed tread to eliminate the
worries which have beset owners of
heavy trucks. The tires are built
with the idea of standing up under
unusually hot weather, thereby
meeting a condition which Imperial
Valley truckmen have been bothered
with heretofore.
Engebretson and Ramsey felt 50
good about their combination, thai
they had their pictures taken togeth-
er with the truck and the man who
sold it, as shown in the accompany
ing cut.

N YEW YORK, August 2l.-An In
N teresting phase OF games which
VI West Point plays against i'm
1 portant teams is her increas-
ing demand for tickets at con-
tests in big stadiumS away from home.
She has asked for $4,000 tickets for the
Illinois game at Champaign on Novem-
Der 8. .
The Yale ticket situation was COM
plicated last year by the Army demand
for increased allotment of seats at the
game at the Yale bowl some twenty
odd thousand being asked. The under
standing was that the West Point au-
thorities were taking care not only Of
cadets and their friends, but Regular
and Reserve officers in and about New
England. So less adherents got seats
than when even the Harvard and
Princeton games are played at New
Haven.
1t now appears that some. but not
all, Of the West Point battalion 500
will be transported to the game. To
take the entire corps to Chicago for the
Army-Navy game in 1925 involved a
cost of about $4,000. Inasmuch as
seats at the Soldier Field were sold at
prices ranging from SIS to $25-that
Is to say. favorable seats-a standard
price Of SO will be charged for admis-
sion to the Illinois arena when the
Army appears there. So the move
ment Of the entire student body of the
Military Academy to Urbana would not
be financially feasible even were the
authorities not opposed to the idea on
other grounds.
In order that a brave show may be
made when Illinois comes to New York :
next year to play the Army a return
game, the Illinois University band, $50
strong, will accompany the team. Ex- ,
penses will be betrayed not out of the
gate receipts, but by the sale of souve- :
mir programs at the Army game this
year and feature contest in 1880. It is
interesting to note. by the way, that
Michigan will ask 81 for seats for the
Harvard game, which will be played at .
Ann Arbor next Fall.

their war clubs to open fire
today on the Western open throne OF
little Abe Espinosa Of Chicago on the
deceptive OZaukee Country Club course.
It was the most brilliant field in the
tournaments 80 years of play, and 50
many stars were entered that the cham
pion was far from favorite. In fact,
the sturdy little Spaniard, who won the
title against O far more mediocre field
last year, was considered long shot. :"
Ranking ahead Of him as favoriteS
were such shot makers as Horton Smith,
the Joplin, Mo, blond, who hasn't won
q golf title since the French open and
who is just about due: Tommy Armour
of Orchard Lake, Mich, former ma
tional open champion and a brilliant
wielder of the irons: Gene Sarazen Of
Flushing. Long Island. another former
national open title holder; Jock Hutch
looks the best since he captured the
British open years ago; Al Espinosa,
the champions brother, who lost to
Bobby Jones In the 1929 national open
play-off, and several others, including
wild Bill" Mehlhorn, New York; Ned
AlliS, Milwaukee; Francis Gallett,
holder of the Ozaukee course record;
Emmett French, youngstown, Ohio:
Bobby Cruickshank. New York. and
Henry Ciuci, the dapper little italian
from Stratford, Conn.
Because of the large entry today and
tomorrow will be used for the initial
1e-hole qualifying round. The low $50
from this first round will play IL ad-
ditional holes Friday and the low 81
and ties will decide the title over 50
holes on Saturday. 1t Is medal play for
the entire ~ holes.
Today's pairings brought most Of the
1903 amateurs and lesser favorites into
action. Myron O. Smith, Milwaukee
amateur, and willard Hutchinson, Glen
coe, ILL.,. professional. had the FIRST call
to the tee. Following them in Ave-
minute intervals were twosomes, timed
until $3.50 pm.
