One of the reading automobile bulldera of the country la George M. Dickson, of Indianapolis who la general manager of the company that builds National car. DIckRon is the father of the Motor Museum movement to establish a per manent collection of automobile parts and cars to preserve for posterity the story of the development of the science of locomotion. Dickson la also the man who figured out that the motor car la not tha nation's Juggernaut; that tha street cars killed twice as many neoDla In a year la thia country aa tha motor car and that In fact tha percentage of fatalities due to tha motor car la very email in comparison with other forms of death. J . . , Dickson is a atrong believer In tha value of motor car races and declares In his answer to the attacks of Ben jamin Briscoe that' race tracks are the laboratories where cars-' have " been through the white heat of analytical tests. He declares that a race of 300 miles at terrific speed "tells more" on a car's strength, power, speed, and reliability than three years service In the hands of the average private owner. Dickson now comes forward with proposal rwra. unique race. He suggests that the American Automobile assocla tton select a car from off the salesroom floors of any one of his dealers In any part or the country without his com pany'a knowledge and then . enter It In a race with cars of other make se lected In a Ilka manner. Thia, Dickson says, is a fair sportsmanship proposal.
