The automobile wotld has now a new "Ace," a real speed demon. Ilia name Is Tonny Milton, already famoua on the apeedway of the country. Hut his performances on the sandy beach at Daytona, Just completed, marks him as the present day automobile speed king. Tommy hoa succeeded in clipping off all the records for one mile up to five miles set last year by Halph I " Palma. Driving a Ducsenherg car equipped "with Otjodyear cords, he drove one mue in tne realty remarnaD time oi 23.7 secondh aa against the world's record of 24.2 seconds. He set a new world'h record of two miles In 4C.24 seconds; three miles In one minute 2.18 seconds: four miles in one minute 3C.H aeconds and five miles In only four eaeconds beyond the two minute mark. The establishment of these new rec ords In a great victory for Goodyear atraight-side tires for Milton s big Duesenlerg was oqulppcd on all four v.he-i. with these tires which deapitc the terrible grinding they endured In seetlng up these new speed marks, hardly showd that they had been used at all. Ferw persons, except those ac quainted with tire performance, fully appreciate tho terrible greulling a tire muat withstand at a speed of 168 milea an hour. A. . V. - ... I ii.lr.,. ,.f IV...,. .,,.AH tests. Tommy Milton wired the Oood- Vear company that theae new world's records were made possible by the wonderful performance of the Oood- year cords and said: "Owing to changing wheels to get different genrf ratio I used fourteen tires during my, trlala. None were specially prepared and many were hurriedly mounted but I not once did f have any trouble of any nature with my tires. I firmly believe that three miles a minute speed is mps. allde. It is solely up to the motor builders for Ooodyear Is ready nvlth the tires. I would go after such a rec ord tomorrow with the tires I used hare In my record work."
