In
Buying Tires
Some motorists depend upon the
reputation of the tire dealer. -Others
depend entirely upon the
reputation of the tire itself.
We suggest that you look to both,
for the one is exactly as important
as the other.

ROAD RECORD
In n dash through the night, a
stock Jewell set a new record
from Hoise, Idaho, to Halt Lake
'lty, I'tah, covering 47S miles in
S hours, S3 minutes, average 55. S
miles un hour.
J. M. Jenson, the Jewett dealer
at Boise, piloted the car and cut
down the previous record, made
hy a professional race driver, by
one hour, Ht minutes, Harris
French, local distributor, has been
informed. 7. .......
"Jenson'a record for the drive
wo'ild he' extraordinary., even if
made under the beat conditions,
but besides competing against
time, ho had to eomhat bad
weather, bad foadp and darkness,'
Mr, French says.-
"The route . was "by way of
Mountain Home, Poealello,- Mc
ramipon, Preston, Logan and Og-
don. . Tlie start was made late
at night, to' avoid traffic. Sev
oral' detours .that, would have-been
discouraging even for lejsurely
going were taken, and during part
ot the run rain added to the dif
ficulties, "Part of the course lay over
dirt roads covered with ns'jntich

it Impossible to discern them by
the light of the swiftly moving
car, so that the go i n g w as
tremely hnxnrdous. However,
maximum speed was possible over
long distances, and so the. Jcwett
was enabled to establish the aver.
age speed of 65.8 miles an hour.
The thorough cleaning of th
spark plugs makes a distinct dif
ference in the running of the en
gine, but the complete renewal of
all the plugs will make, a tlll
greater difference.

est I mates. ' i (
The proportion of balloon tires
compared with high-pressure tires
Is growing larger steadily, and In
