Of motorists to the announcement
Of a 10000 mile guarantee on Star
De Luxe tires Is voiced by r.. l..
Holbert OF Hicks Rubber Co, Dist.
handling the Hicks-built line Of
star tires in Brownsville.
The guarantee of 10000 miles
away with the necessity Of adjec-
tiveS and conversation generally"
said Mr. Holbert, and the definite
assurance OF such great mileage
that we are in position to guarantee
has certainly gone a long way to-
ward establishing the idea Of high

Public interest In the 10000
mile guarantee on Star De Luxe
tires Is a now tribute TO advertising.
1t Just goes to prove that when
you really have something import
ant to say In our advertising, you
will arouse interest. The response
has exceeded our expectations. The
number Of motorists coming by to
see our Star line Of tires has shown
a large increase.
The interesting test. or proof
Of Star 10000 mile quality. that we
are prepared to show the motorists
Is a convincing follow-up and, in
view Of the conditions through
which we have been passing, the
interest shown and the sales in
creased are indeed gratifying"

bolts which fasten the front seat

PILOTS MAY BE GIVEN
PART In NATIONAL AIR RACE

III as any as five women announce
their intentions OF entering, q clos
ed course race for women In which
there viii be no limit on the power
OF the motor will be held during the
National Air Races at Curtiss
Wright Reynolds Airport az Chi
cago, August g to September LIST.
1t promises to be one OF the most
interesting events on this years
program, and will have a standing
similar 70 the Thompson Trophy
race, which is the major speed event
for men. The total purse will be
5000 which is the second highets
purse put up for any closed course
event.
Because a number OF women pilots
own ships and others fly such ships
almost daily for a living which are
more powerful than the type Of
ship they would be permitted TO use
under the 800 Gu. in. piston displace-
ment limit allowed In the women's
races previously scheduled. Major
r. w. Shorty Schroeder. contest
director, decided that they should
be given an opportunity to race in
them, II there were enough entries
to Justify the addition Of such a
race TO the program. Since women
have never been offered the oppor-
tunity to race in high-powered ships
II seems likely that q sufficient
number Of them will come forth TO
prove that there are enough women
pilots In the senior class to hold a
race of this kind.
Any pima pilot who has had
sufficient experience in flying high
powered ships and who desires 70
compete for the prize money Is re-
quested to get in touch with the
chairman, contest committee, Chi
