RECORDS FELL f SHORE STUTZ ON LABOR DAY Remarkable Showings Matte at Atlantic City and Pike’s Peak. The greatest series of records in ‘.he history of automobile competition is the claim of the Stutz Motor Car Company for the performance of Safety Stutz cars on Labor day. Safety Stutz Black Hawk speedsters finished one-two-three in the 450-mile stock car race at Atlantic City, establishing anew A. A. A. otock car record for ail distances from five to 150 miles. / Safety Stutz cars also won both the free-for-all and stock car Pikes Peak hill climbs. The honors are all the more worth while because they were won in competition with products of the foremost manufacturers in the country. The winning Safety Stutz’s average speed for the 150 miles was 96.30 miles per hour. The second finished with an average of 94.02 s miles per hour and the third flashed across the wire a few seconds later. Two of the cars went the entire distance without a stop and the third made one brief stop at the pits purely as a precautionary matter. The drivers were Tom Rooney, L. L.

Corum and Gil Anderson, Stutz experimental engineers, who were famous years ago on American speedways. Five Records Set In winning, the Safety Stutz set new stock car records for five, ten, twenty-five aud 100 miles, these being the only distances within that limit that are recognized for records by the A. A. A. The best average at any of these distances was at the fifty-mile mark, when Anderson’s average was 96.65 miles per hour. • The ability of the tires to withstand the terrific punishment was actually the determining factor in setting the speed. During the prerace practice, the cars had reached a speed of 105 miles an hour. At Pikes Peak, Glen Shultz drove a Stutz Eight Special to first place in the free-for-all climb. His time for twelve and one-half miles as-

Drove Standard Sedan The‘second Pike’s Peak victory of the day for Stutz was scored by Bill Bentrup, driving a Safety Stutz standard Weymann sedan. His time for the mountain course was 21 minutes 59.3 seconds, giving him a lead of nearly forty-nine seconos over the next car, and one and one-half seconds over third. The Safety Stutz victory was the more remarkable because it was a closed car competing with roadsters. Through this success, the Stutz Motor Car Company holds for the second consecutive year the Penrose trophy, the mammoth silver urn which is awarded annually by Spencer Penrose, Colorado Springs sportsman, and which was won last year by Shultz.

Tail Light

By Swede' Swanson A motorist in Hartford, Conn., is arrested for driving without a wind shield wiper, where this appliance is deir \nded by law. But the policeman vho made the arrest had no windshield wiper on his own car, neither did most of the other police cars in the city. However, the motorist was fined and thus converted to the evergrowing doctrine that “preachers may, all others may not.” A traffic policeman in a speedy roadster scoots out of a side street, where any other driver has to stop first. A motorcycle cop rushes through traffic winding in and out of lanes recklessly, where any other motorist would soon be apprehended for reckless driving. Acts like these are unnecessary, even in the case of the high and mighty police, except when they are rushing to a fire, to a hospital or after a prospective victim. Reckless driving and Inattention to the motor laws they are assigned to see respected not only add to the dangers of motoring but set a poor example to the citizenry. A preacher, above all, must be sigma-proof. The traffic policeman is the preacher of the highways. He can not gain respect while he himself shows no respect for the traffic laws. / The Jefferson Davis highway running between Washington and Richmond. Va., is one of the longest stretches of concrete road in the

This is historically famous country that assures new thrills to travelers. Puruant to a recent discovery by government experimenters that about, two per cent of the country’s drivers are color blind, making it impossible for them to distinguish between the red and green lights for stop and go signals, R. A. Rawson, sales manager for Elcar, suggests two possible remedies which obviate any need for radical change in existing equipment. One suggestion is the whole word “stop” and “go” be painted on the appropriate lense in easily legible style, or that the arrangement of the colors (green above and red below, for example) be standard throughout the country. The latter course would mean simply a rearrangement of the lenses in lights not conforming to the standard.
