His store of reminiscences Is remarkable, his own acquaintance Including prac tlcally everyone of interest and importance since Mark Twain. He was a close friend of James Whit combe Riley, living across the street from him for many years. Of him, as well as a host of other nationally known folk he talks in the most intimate and delightful manner." In Los Angeles, Mr. Wilson said that Mr. Read was the guest of Mary Plckford and Douglas Fairbanks. "Mr. Read," said Mr. Wilson, "is strong in his defense of the flapper. When interviewed con cerning the latter along the route, here is what he will tell the re porters! 'Her dress is more sensi ble, sanitary, comfortable and sightly than grandmother's. Just remember the bustle hump of deformity and the skirt with four yards dragging on the ground, raking up the dust. Looks foolish, doesn't It? It's a good thing hoop skirts have disap peared. With them, you couldn't get more than three women into a street car. " 'You don't call whiskers san itary, yet you want women to have long balr. A woman's crown of glory is her hair when it is bobbed.' " "When Mr. Read is asked what he dislikes most he replies, 'Culti vated stupidity.' And when he is asked what he admires most, he will say, 'Naturalness and expression.'

They were on the winner's car tor the third successive year and on eight of the ten finishing in the money, upholding the confidence success ful race drivers have in the trustworthiness and ability of these tires to meet the greatest demands of speed, endur ance and safety. Their records in every other important race have been equally as good. Consider this achieverncnt along with another test of Oldfield quality made at Wichita, Kansas, this past winter and early pring. .34,525 miles on rutted, Icy Kansas roads, running day and night on a Studebaker stock car without a single tire change. This test was made by a group of Wichita auto motive dealers in a tire, oil and gasoline economy run. Mayor Kemp of Wichita was official observer anil made affidavit to the mileage and service given by Oldfleld tires. You may never subject your tires to the gruelling experience uf Indianapolis nor the steady grind of bad winter roads, but it is good to know you can get such safety and mileage economy by buying Oldfield tires.
