Race Champion Picks Buick Brougham

PETER DE PAOLO, adorned with the $3,500 medal which he won as 1925 automobile speedway champion, came to Flint recently to take delivery of a Buick car. DcP solo’s new Buick, a 1927 brougham, is his fourth car of this make in the last two years. In fact, he has never owned any other make. In explaining his preference for Buicks, DePaolo said that the valve-in-head engine, for ordinary driving as well as cm the race track, proved superior to any other type. “My Buicks, with their valve-in-head engines and mechanical four wheel brakes, have given me wonderful performance and the best of service,” DePaolo stated. “That is the reason why I have never bought any other make of car. Although my previous Buicks have been wonders on' the road and have given great satisfaction, I believe the 1927 Buick is truly what the makers say it is, the greatest Buick ever built. It is certainly the greatest car I have ever

I was amazed at the marvelous performance of this car, and at the luxury of its fittings and trim.” DePaolo, in addition to his championship medal, carries another presented to him personally by Premier Mussolini of Italy which designates him as “Knight of Speed,” He is also an honorary member of the Italian Hundred Mile an Hour Club, and wears its emblem, also a present from Mussolini, in his coat lapel.

Grand Canyon Yields Pre-Dinosaur Fossils New finds of footprints of reptiles left In soft sand at least 26,000,000 years ago have been made In sandstone 1,800 feet down from the rim of the Grand canyon. This Is the great est depth In the canyon at ,whlch such prints have been found. The level at which the fossil plants and reptiles have been found belongs to the latter part of the carboniferous period, or the time when the great coal beds of the world were being formed, and was a few million years before the famous reign of the dinosaurs. One specimen shows a row of tracks very much like mouse tracks Impressed In a small slab of red stone, and In among the tiny footprints Is a wavy line which represents the track of the animal’s tall. Other exhibits show prints larger than a man’s hand, indicating that some of the reptilian creatures of this age may have become as large ns crocodiles. No bones of these creatures have been found in the Grand canyon, though some bones of reptiles making similar tracks have been found elsewhere. —New York | World. French “Independence Day ” The name “Day of the Bastille” Is given In French history to the 14th of July, 1789, because on that day the mob, assisted by the Gardes Francalses, rose In Insurrection and destroyed the prison fortress of the Bas-’ tille. During the years 1790-1792, the anniversary of this event was called “La Fete de la- Federation.” The Day of the Bastille Is also known as the “Day of July,” and Is celebrated by the French as a patriotic holiday, much as the Americans celebrate the slgnlng'-of the Declaration of Independence on the Fourth of July.

In a section of the hills of Upper Swat known as Torwal, near the northern frontier, Sir Aurel believes that he has Identified the site of the fortress of Aornos, captured from the warlike hill tribes by Alexander In 827 B. C. According to the classical historians the stronghold was perched on a rock over the river Indus and had even resisted the attacks of the legendary Hercules. The particular features of the rough and rocky regions which suggested this site are said to agree more closely with the account of the Greek historian Arrian than a previous tentative location at Mahaban. The strategic value of this hill country has been appreciated and Utilized by petty chlpftalns down to the present day, and it Is only recently that conditions have been sufficiently settled to allow archeological exploration.
