Fords Win Laredo-
Monterrey Races
Three Ford cars—two V-8s and a
1931 “four”—won the first three
flares in the famous Laredo-Monter-
rey road race sponsored by the Mexi-
can Automobile Association, an affi-
liate of the American Automobile As-
sociation, according to official reports
of the race received here by R. S.
Ray, of the Ray Motor Co.
The report follows:
“The two V-8s established the fast-
est time on record for the course.
The third Ford won the same posi-
tion in the class B event of the orig-
inal i*oad races which formally open-
ed the new Pan-American highway-
highway between Laredo and Mon-
terrey three years ago.
“The race was won by Eddy Byers,
a veteran figure in Texas and Okla-
homa road race circles, in a Ford V-8,
with an average speed for the 138.6
mile race of 78.25 miles per hour
Byers staged a thrilling finish to win
over Jimmie Davis, also driving
Ford V-8, who placed second, one
minute and 14 seconds behind the
winner. Jim Hall, of Houston, Texas,
vas third in a Ford Model A. Davis’
average speed was 77.5 miles per
hour, Hall’s 73.1 miles per hour.
“Speed Wagner, a product of the
eastern dirt tracks and a veteran of
several years’ professional racing,
was the only other driver to Finish in
the money, driving a Rockne Roadster
to take fourth place. Other entrants
including three Chevrolets, a Ford
Model A, an Essex, a Chrysler and a
motorcycle were disqualified or fail-
ed to finish.
“Davis took second place after suf-
fering a blowout 20 miles from Lare-
do. Four minutes were required to
make the tire change. Despite this,
Davis and his V-8 bettered all pre-
vious speed records for the course.
“The performance of the three
Fords in winning the first three
places in the Mexican classic recalls
the Ford victor-
event

Races a month ago, when seven Ford
V-8s took the first seven places in
the famous event, Fred Frame, India-
napolis racing driver, in the winning

hour for the 203-mile grid.”
JOHN NANCE GARNER
Vice President
John N. Garner of Uvalde, Texas,
Vice-President of the United States,
and James Farley of New York
Postmaster General in the President’s
Cabinet, were the guests of honor at
the Garner-Farley banquet in Dallas
yesterday evening Oct. 19. Silliman
Evans of Fort Worth, Fourth Assist-
ant Postmaster General, will also be
one of the honored guests.
Vice - President Gamer, dubbed
“cavalier of the chaparral,” is one of
the most prominent Texans in na-
tional political life in history. Born
in Red River County, Texas, sixty-
four years ago, he studied law and
was admitted to the Texas bar in
1890. Eight years later he was
elected to the Texas Legislature, and
1903 was chosen as United States
Congressman from Texas. That post
' JAMES A. FARLEY
Postmaster General
he held for 30 years. In 1931, as the
long Republican regime began to
totter. Garner was chosen Speaker of
the House of Representatives, and he
made a capable success of his job.
In 1932 he was chosen by the Demo-
cratic Party to carry with Franklin
D. Roosevelt the banner of the party
in the presidential election. The
Democratic success has become a
page in history, but John Nance
Gamer will long live as one of the
most human figures in recent Ameri-
can history.
Jim Farley is another of the out-
standing figures in the late success
of the Democratic Party. Born forty-
five years ago at Grassy Point, New
York, he completed his'formal high
school and commercial school educa-
tion at the age of 18 and was ready
for life. Four years later he became
SILLIMAN EVANS
Fourth Asst. Postmaster General
town clerk at Stony Point, New York,
and began a colorful political career.
Rising rapidly, he reached the peak
when he was chosen chairman of the
national Democratic committee in
1932. Thence he went on to direct
the presidential campaign for the
party, and on the election of Roose-
velt as president he was chosen as
Postmaster General foi the national
cabinet. In Jim Farley the American
people recognize a political genius,
the dynamo of the New Democracy.
In Jim Farley, Texas recognizes a
friend.
Silliman Evans, a Fort Worth
citizen, has long been active and
prominent in civic and political af-
fairs in this state. In recognition of
his untiring efforts during the 1932
campaign, he was chosen as Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General.

Production of Chevrolet cars and
trucks in September practically trebl-
ed that of last September, the com-
pany in the month just ended having
turned out 59,357 new units as against
20,995 in the comparable month of
1932, W. S. Knudsen, president and
general manager announced Satur-
day.
For the first nine months of this
year Chevrolet manufactured 571,781
units, or 45 per cent more than in
the full twelve months of last year,
Mr. Knudsen said. In fact, last year’s
total production was exceeded this
year by the cars and trucks-built dur-
ing the six months ended September
30, Mr. Knudsen stated.
Output in September of this year
was the largest for that month since
1929, and was exceeded by only a few
Septembers in the 21 years the com-
pany has been in business, he said.
He stated that more than 90 per
cent of the September total was
shipped to dealers located in the
United States.
Assembly operations at the com-
pany’s eight domestic plants have
continued into October at a rate
which wHl insure the current month’s
production exceeding last October by
a higher margin than has been scor-
ed in any month so far this year, the
Chevrolet President said.

The big daily papers are carrying
the news that one of the Urge tele-
graph and cable companies is now
installing in their large offices in
key centers short wave radio trans-
mitters to handle the more import-
ant messages that need to be dis-
patched with speed. We thought
telegraphy was speedy, but it is not
fast enough for this “split-second
age.”
This move on the part of this big
company- seems to us to definitely
open up a new and lucrative field for
the youngster trained in Radio. Of
course, in addition to being trained
in the art of Radio, one must also
have a government license in order to
operate a radio transmitter. This is
where we specialize. We can pro-
perly train you not only to be able
to send and receive radio messages,
but also prepare you for the govern-
ment examination for your license.
Should you be Radio minded, write
us at once for our booklet R-6 which
describes our School of Radio. It
tells you all about the work. It’s
fortunate that we have a modem up-
to-date radio station here in our
school for your training. Your train-
ing consists of special preparation on
how to operate a transmitter under
a trained licensed engineer. This is
a wonderful advantage for the young
man interested in Radio.
Booklet R-6 is yours for the asking.

locals had started another drive a*
the game ended.
The outstanding star of the game,
from both an offensive and a defen-
sive standpoint, was Richard Vitek,
Granger captain and quarterback.
One of the stars of last year’s cham-
pionship eleven, he looked even better
this yar than did Bartosh in 1932.
Vitek was ably abetted on the offense
by Lott, driving Granger back.
For KozeUki’s men, Boone, Poncik,
Urbis and Dvoracek gained moBt of
the ground, with Horsak doing some
good blocking to get them started.
The backfield did not display the
ragged play that they have shown in
the past two games. The line, too,
performed much better, though the
ends and tackles had a slight let-
down. Deiterman, PLsek, Bresler
and Wendorf in the line and Horsak
and Poncik in the backfieid looked
good on defense. However, the local
line was laboring under a heavy
weight handicap, and could not with-
stand the charges of the behemoth
Grangerites.
This week, today, Friday, October
20th, Coach Kozelski takes his men
to Gatesville for their first district
game of the season. Last fall a
great West eleven trampled Gates-
ville under a 19 to 6 score, but both
teams are weaker this year. If the
men of Troy display the form that
they did last Friday in Granger, they
are due to-win this game today. A
district win in their first conference
game would give the boys much con-
fidence. Make the trip * and give
them that needed backing.

Questioning the Kids
With a view to determining some-
thing or other, Columbia professors
recently questioned more than 600
boys between the ages of six and
eight years.
Asked what they wanted to be
when they grew up, only five ex-
pressed a desire to become President
of the United States. And only six
out of the more than 500 remember-
ed ever hearing of Mr. Roosevelt.
Among those tested were several j
named Calvin, but they did not ap-!
pear to know much about their name-
sake.
Most of them thought the career of i
a policeman or fireman would be
more to their liking than any other.
Manifestly, boys of such tender
ages should not be expected to know
the answer* to some of the questions
asked. A lot of grownups don’t
know the answers either.
However, it is hoped that the
learned professors found out what
they were trying to find out.
