DAYTONA BEACH.-FJs,- (AP)
This resort's natural speedway,
according to earrent reports, will
be the scene next spring of farth
er assaults' on the world's speed
record. . - .
New speed creations 7 designed
by American end : forelga' tntomo
tire engineers are being groomed
In a further effort to eclipse the
world mark of 2J1.3S2 miles an
hoar. That was the mark set upon
the sands last year by the British
racer. Sir Henry Segrare. in his
Golden Arrow. . It stands as the
fastest speed at T which , man has
traveled in an automobile.
Three weeks In March has been
set as the time for trials which
will be supervised by the Ameri
can automobile association's con
test board.

Other Americans reported to be
contemplating an effort to cap

the Duesenberg brothers of Indi

Several foreign threats to speed
supremacy loom. One report is

English driver. It Is designed for
a speed well in xcess of 280
miles an hour.
Capt- Malcolm Campbell, an

Italy and the nianufacturerj cf j
the Bugatti car. I
"While such attempts may not
bring direct returns to the auto

board, "the construction of a car
which will better the existing
straightaway record will represent
the pinnacle of honor for a design

Performance and Operating
Economy Help Boost Sales
of Whippet Four
Ease of handling aad speedy
performance la traffic, besides
economy in operating costs, have
played an Important part In the
record reception acocrded the Su
perior Whippet fours this year,
according to reports received by
th Willys-Orelantf company
from dealers.
Of course, the present model Is
somewhat heavier aad roomier
than la the trade. Although ao
drastic changes have been mads
in the Whippet tour rate of top
speed and pick-up that has made
it a dominant sales factor ia the
trade. Although no drastic
changes hare been made In the
Whippet four engine, a number
of refinements and minor Im
provements account for Its fa
creased power. The stroke In the
present motor has been increased
three-eighths of an tach with the
iorfyfaaalnih? ip.e4aink Besides
I he' Increase -in. Che !Mtb the
compression ratio has also been
boosted from the old ratio of 6
to 1 to a new one of S.5 to 1.
How this added power Is Im
portant In climbing steep grade,
besides that of speed, is indicated
by the results attained in test3
conducted by WlBys-Overland en
gineers. A Whippet four sedar
carried three passengers up
the Sycamore Street hill In Cin
cinnati; me passengers up Look
out Mountain near Chattanooga:
five passengers up Signal Moun
tain, Chattanooga; and four pass
engers up Cove or Tuscarora
Mountain at Chambersburg, Pa.
An important fact about the
Whippet four, too. Is that the
second gear is considerably fast
er than In preceding models. This
is consistent with the modern
trend which enables a car to get
away rapidly In a traffic jam.

In keeping with the progressive
policies that have carried Chev
rolet to record-breaking heights
of success the new Chevrolet
Six is now made available in a
wide variety of colors at no
extra cost.
Still further enhancing the in
herent beauty of the marvelous
bodies by Fisher, these striking
new colors give to the Chevrolet
Six an order of smartness unap
proached in any other low
priced car in the world.
And when you drive the Chev

performance is equally as out
standing as its beauty. It flashes
away at the traffic signal. It tops
the steepest hills with an abun
dant reserve of power. The
steering wheel responds to your
slightest touch. And the quiet,
non-locking, four-wheel brakes
are unusually quick and positive
inaction.

planes, flving over,, the coast
route of Tacific Atr transport, a
unit of Boeinc System, which ex

miles is covered by the speedy
planes in approximately 12 hours.
The coast line of Boeing sys
tem Is the second longest daily
operated mail stretch In the na
tion, ranking second -only to the
Chlcago-San Franelaco line of
Boeing system, which Is the- long
est, dally operated route in the
world. Lea Tins Seattle at 2 p. m.
each afternoon, the Boeing four
passenger mail-passenger 5 plane
flies to Tacoma and oa to Port
land, arriving at the Swan Island
airport one hour and one-half
after the Seattle take-off. Accord

Pacific Air Transport, the Boe

at 7:25 a. m.. the new time being.

The scenery of the Pacific Air
Transport route over Washing
ton. Oregon and California is In.
nationally famous, and is best
appreciated from the cabin of a
Pacific Air Transport plane. This
route has made Pacific coast cit
ies neighbors by hours instead of
days, and It is continually im
proving its service. The Boeing
planes accommodate four pass,
engers in the cabins, and are
flown by experienced pilots with
the regularity of railroad trains.
Boeing mail pilots have from
2.000 to S.000 hours -of flying.
Their experience assures safety
la flying, and they never Indulge
in stunting.
The P.-A.-T. planes are - the
type which Boeing System has
flown more than six million miles
during the past 25 months, a na
tional record. Nearly SO per"ernt
of the total air mail of the nation
is flown In Boeing marl planes,
which have achieved a remark
able record for safety" and; de
pendability. Boeing System has recently an
nounced an installation of radio,
phone equipment along the Pa
cific Coast route, to be started
immediately. These ground radio,
phone stations, which will be lo
cated at Intervals along the line,
will permit operators to converse
with Boeing pilots as high as 12.
000 feet and as distant as 200
miles. Thus the P-A.-T. pilots
will be is constant touch with the
ground, and will continually re
ceive weather reports and flight
instructions. The Boeing-developed
radiophone equipment, which
Is 1 already In operation on the
