ba THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE Willys-Knight Stands Abuse of Severe Tests Holding up without a break or a weakness under the shocks and strains of the most grueling tests yet devised by engineers and exper- ienzed race track drivers, a strictly | stock Willys-Knight Standard Six sedan established a brilliant record recently on the Indianapolis Speed way. In the face of 40-mile wind gales that swept across a slippery track,; rain and temperatures that ranged to \10 below freezing, this stock car— taken blindfolded from the regu! production line of Willys-Overlan Toledo plant—proved its stamina, endurance and speed, and satisfied official observers that it would stand up under the roughest abuses that any driver could give it. These tests were all observed and checked by two officials of the Hoosier Mo- tor Club and Indianapolis newspaper men, This stock car, the lowest priced of the Willys Knight Six line, was driven 250 miles continuously in sec- ond gear at an average speed of 40.56 miles per hour without a stop for mechanical adjustment and in a con- stant downpour of rain. To average this speed, the car was driven for many laps at 45 miles an hour in second gear and at the finish the mo- tor was surprisingly cold. Water in the radiator hed not dwindled and was lukewarm in spite of the fact that it had been driven. at high speed in second gear for six hours and nine minutes. Charles F. Cum- mings, representing the Hoosier Mo- tor Club, rode the entire distance verifying the fact that the gears were not changed or tampered with. This car-was driven at top 5 ed continuously for 100 miles without a stop and completed the 40 laps in one hour, 38 minutes and 31 1-2 sec- onds for an average speed of 60.6 miles per hour. No stops were made and a finger could be held on the radiator at the finish. Among the most spectacular tests were those applied to deceleration and brakes. The car was speeded up to 55 miles an hour and then the four-wheel brakes were suddenly ap- lied.’ ith the motor aiding the Prakes in deceleration, the car was stopped within 132 feet, five inches and it required 3.9 seconds to do it. When the car was speeded 25 miles ane hour, the motor and brakes stopped it within 27 feet 3 1-2 inches or 18 seconds; at the 35-mile rate, it stopped within 56 feet, 8 inches and at 45 miles within 93 feet, 4 inches. When the brakes alone were used, with the motor released by throwing out the clutch, the car was stopped within 152 feet or 4.2 sec- onds when speeding at 55 miles an hour. The car slid 28 feet 1 1-2 inches when the brakes alone were applied as the car was traveling at a rate of 26 miles an hour but the time required was only 2.1 seconds. When the car was speeding forward at 35 miles an hour, it required 2.7 seconds for the brakes to stop it from Bodies of Two Boys Partly Identified Indiana Harbor, Ind., March 3.— @) —Chief of Police James Regan of East, Chicago, Ind., announced today that George Smith, a Canadian, has confessed killing two of his three children whose bodies were found floating in the Indiana Harbor ship canal. Smith, Chief Regan said. told him that the boys expressed a wish to sec their who is dead. Smith said took them to the ship canal, laid a plank out over the water, tied the boys together with wire, and told the eldest, nine years old, to walk the plank and jump into the water and he would be with his grandmother. The boy did so and pulled his younger brother in after him, Smith told the police. Indiana Harbor, Ind., March 3.— (®)—The bodies of two boys, about 8 or 9 years old, both found float- ing in the Indiana Harbor Ship Canal, were partly identified today by the landlord of George Smith of Chicago as Smith’s stepchildren. The landlord said Smith had left ubout a month ago, ostensibly to place the children in an orphanage home somewhere in Canada. *The landlord, whose name the po- lice did not immediately — reveal, said Smith had married a widow who had two children. The couple quarreled over the children, the landlord said, and Smith and the children left about a month ago to take them to Canada, stating he ex- pected to place them in an orphan- age there. The two boys, dressed almost alike ‘were found in the canal, one on February 22 and the other two boon dragged in the possibilty that en dra, ¢ possibility tha other bole. may be in it. The bodies of the children were bound with wire, which led the authorities to believe that a weight had been at- tached to the bodies when they were dropped in the canal. NOT!
