PORTER FRANK LOCKHART, AMERICAN AUTO ACE, FINDS ALL SPEEDWAYS ALIKE TO HIM Youthful Driver Feels at Home on Dirt, Concrete and Brick Tracks as He Establishes New Marks ? Travels 171.02 Miles an Hour. MUD or dust, concrete or boards, rain or shine? these make no difference to young Prank Lockhart. of lx>s Angeles, who today at 24 is the fastest automobile driver in the United Stales, if not in (he world Few motorists, "even of the harden ed professional racers, have had the varied experience of Locklmrt. who has driven on almost every kind of track His best record? and he is after more? was set on a dry lako bed at Muroc, near Los Angeles, California, last April when he whirled over the alkali sands at 171 02 miles an hour? a figure comparable to that or Major H. O D Scgrave. the Briton, who drove his "Mystery Sunbeam" at 203.79 miles an hour at Daytona Beach, Florida Major Segrave holds the British record, of course, and Lockbart the American. Previous to Lockhart's feat, the nest American record was established by the intrepid Tommy Milton, who a few years before he retired wbizzed along at 156 4 miles an hour at Day tona Beach. What makes Cockhart's figures more remarkable than even Major Segrave's is the fact that the American used a car with a displacement of only 91.5 cubic inches, as compared with the displacement in the Englishman's ma chine or 12U0 cubic inches Rain likewise holds no terrors for Lock hart Poc racing fans recall that he won rfeqp i*< .-oration Day race on the Ind sanguis Speedway last year in a driving rainstorm So sudden was I lie deluge and so dangerous did the J track become thai the Speedway offl ; cials Immediately cut the usual GOO ! miles down to 400 miles. Lockhart, driving without relief shot his tiny car around the brick track 160 times at an average speed of !*4.63 miles an hour and finished five miles ahea?] of his nearest rival, Harry Hartz. also of Los Angeles. Then he followed up that victory by running first on last September 18th, at the Altoona Speedway, with a speed of 117 miles an hour. He interspersed those two notable winnings by captur ing the Charlotte, N. C., race on Au gust 23, with an average speed of 120.54 miles per hour, faster than either of the other two races. For some time Lockhart was In "disgrace ' with the American Auto mobile Association for taking part In dirt track competition, most of which he won handily. He had considerable experience on dirt tracks and in 1924 he ran Urst in the Thanksgiving Day race at Ascot l'ark, Los Angeles. His most notable recent victory this year was in May when he drove his machine 147.729 miles an hour at the Atlantic City Motor Speedway. It es tablished a new record for board j tracks. In the following month, just to show his versatility, Lockhart won a dirt track at the Michigan State Fair Grounds, on June 5. The track had been treated with calcium chloride and it was dustless. firm and, as Lockhart explained later. Ideal in every rcspect for automobile racing.

Average Amer ican in r.Ct*. says the Sears Roebuck Agricultural Foundation. The rapid increase in the consump tion of dairy products during the last decade has been an outstanding fea: ture of the changes In food habits. "Eat for health" has become the? popular slogan and education in thf dietary value of dairy products which are rich in vitamin A and Important sources of protein and lime plus the trend toward a more expensive diet, have resulted in increases In the per capit:i consumption of dairy products during the past decade of as much at* .SO per cent in the case of fluid milk and 45 per cent in cheese. The farmer eats more milk and but ter and oheese than the city man. Consumption of ail dairy product* is below the average in Southern states where dairy production has increased very slowly and prices average high James J.
