MILES AX HOUR; SLX FIXKU
Near Miami. Florida, recently a
motorist, C. I, iiclain. waj ar
rested for driving I1S3 car 4 0 miies
an hour. Ordinarily thi would
not be anytUIne out ofthe ordin
ary for arrests for speeding are
made in Florida probably as often
as elsewhere. The car. Mr. Me
I.aln "w'aa driving, however, made
the incident most unusual.
The car. now making a four
throughout the state of Florida,
was the famed "Old Pacific," a
ono cylinder Packard in which E.
T. Fetch made one of the firs.t if
not actually the first, trans-canti-nental
tours of the United States.
The veteran old motor car was
caught speeding at 40 m ilea an
hour and the driver was taken, be
fore a justice of the peace and
fined. ' ' ' " ' " ' ,
During the , first seven days of
the tour which now is being made
more than 1500 miles were cover
ed and an accurate record of the
gasoline consumed disclosed that
17 miles had been obtained "to each
gallon of "gas."
For years "Old Pacific" rested
In. one of the building of the Pack
ard Motor Car company factory at
Detroit. At the recrtfest of Ja'mes
Palmer, Packard .distributor at
Jacksonville, Fla., it was shipped
to Florida "as is." Only a very
short time was required "to put It
in perfect running condition by the
Jacksonville service station and
then it was started . out to !. call
upon every, city in the state. , It is
proving, Palmer says, a big attrac
tion in every city it visits.

flEAVY DUTY FILLS .
TRUCK FIELD fiEED
Coodjear Dealer , Here Says 30x3
Affortls Light Vehicle Protection
"The new Heavy Duty tiro re
ently brought out by Goodyear, is
meeting a big need in the Im
portant field L of Ford one-ton
trucks,, decldred Hay & Xosel,
Goodyear tire dealer at 294 North J
Commercial street.
' "The 20T. rpula;' ttre l stan
dard, equipment for the Ford one-
ton truck, and now that Goodyear
in building; a 30x5 superior
strength Heavy Duty in this size,
the owner of the light truck is
given maximum protection.
"The' standard equipment on
which the truck U delivered 13
Ideal for this) car in regular ser
vice. , But where it has to carry
an overload as it does in many
cases, the' Hen vy Duty Una admir
ably fills this need.
"One of tne striking uses found
for the Heavy Duty ; tire ha3 been
iu the oil fields. - Here the ser
vice har, been unusually hard, and
since , the - trucks must "go wher
ever oil is found, regardless' of
what, road .conditions are. the
wear on. the tire is extremely dif
ficult. . . .
The Heavy Duty line with it
2 P?r cent Increase , in strength
due to the two extra plies of Su
pertwiat fabric and the re-enforcement
of ' tread and' sidewall is
standing ' up" wonderfully In the
most arduous Bervfce.
"A - tire that will stand ; up in
the oil fields will be good enough
for . almost any other service that
can be imagined. It Is the . acid
test of -tire. -
.. "Another place where Heavy
Duty tires on light trucks have
been found most useful is on con
struction work, dump carts -and
others 'where the loads are heavy
and the roads are poor. ' . j.
"Light trucks, carrying farm
produce and. city deliveries of
merchandise where the loads are
heavy and the ' cars must make
good .time, have likewise found
the new line filling a Very definite
need. . .-' , . - . ' ;. ' 'r
"The" Heavy Duty Line Is avail
able in seven sizes covering every
make of car as well as the light
trucks. . - : -"
"Attention ought to be called
also," he added, " to the import

Who said speed 'was riot 'possible or saf
: 'tires?;
-With - balloon
"Cannon Ball Baker" in his Rickenbacker Six,' shattering one
cross country -record after another, has disproved all
such, theories and written a new chapter in - motoring
history.
Here is what he says i1
VBalloon tires are adaptable to high speeds, 6hy provided
the car is .properly -designed, in perfect balance, and
' possesses perfect 'steering qualities.!
4rtickenbacker Six has "all those qualities ; therefore I can
protect myself from many shocks with soft' balloons and
: still: driver faster than any other car has ever averaged
over the same roads.
"If steering spindles are not scientifically designed, the car
will shimmy. i 1
. "If springs are the old type deeply cambered, short,
choppy kind the car will jump all over the road "and
, "'have' a' tendency to leave it at curves.
"If car is not in perfect balance, rear end 'will be 'chasing
the front all the time.
"If frame is weak, rear wheel will not be able to follow true I
"And, if brakes are not 100 per cent efficient if they grab
' or "jerk or j skid " the car when applied then the driver
must take turns faster than is safe if he would master his
average. And, of rcoufse, taking a sharp turn at 50 or
oyer is liable to 'roll' the balloons off.
''Rickenbacker. steering, balance, springs and double depth
frame, give a degree of stability, steering precision and
ability to 'hold the road' to a degree I never have found
'm"any other car.
"And the mechanical 4-wheel brakes, render it unnecessary
to take turns at dangerous speeds.
"l ean decelerate from 70 to 20 miles per hour in a few feet
v take the sharpest curve, and '.j then with this 65 horse
- power motor, get away again so quickly as to make an
average which guarantees any record I go after.'
