PACKARD MOTOR PERFORMANCE IN GIANT AIRSHIP-IS MARVEL Eyes of the world have been turn- ed on aviation. in the last few weeks more, than in years. Completion of the: world circling flight by, army pilots, the flight.of the ZR-3- across the Atlantic and the record breaking cruise of the Shenandoah, all com- ing together, have awakened the United States anew: to the possibili- tes of air travel. ‘The flight of the ZR.3 from. Fred- erickshaven, Germany to Lakehurst, N. J., remarkable as it was consider- ed by the whole world, has robbed the Shenandoah the Navy's first air- ship, of none of her prestige. Her cruise to the west coast covers a distance actually greater than that of the ZR-3 and she has faced more immediate perils than did the giant German-built air liner. . Weeks were spent in planning the western trip of the “Daughter of the Stars.” Just as has been done in every move connected with the ship from the time she was first. design- ed by the Navy engineers, every How to Avoid Accidents By Good ‘No one carea to be-involved in an accident and Precaution was taken to give the very highest factor of safety. \ The five Packard motors which had driven the Shenandoah. thou- sands of miles had been operated 700 hours, a world's record for ‘aviation motors, .

The five. ‘ofiginal motors’ were credited by Captain Anton Heten, test pilot of the ship, with saving the Shenandoah: when she broke away from her mooring mast last Febru- ary and on the trip to the Pacific coast, Lieutenant Commander Zach- ary Lansdowne, commander of the craft, said the five new Packards saved her from destruction while g>- ing through a'pass in the mountain: “The egines of the ship are In per- fect condition,” said ,Lieutenant Commander Lansdowne, “they -have worked constantly since leaving matter of. fact small percentage of automobile..owners ‘ever do ‘have:an tious nature.

Accidents that damage the front or rear mudguards are often the fesult of reckless driving.

C., Oct. 25.— “Keep warm and be safe,’ gpys the Touring and Transportation Board of the American Automobile associa- tion in a special bulletin issued from hendquarters here today as a warn- ing to motorists planning extensive late fall and early winter tours throughout sections. of the country where winter driving is becoming the rulé rather than the exception. The A. A. A. board points out that carelessness in cold weather driving is largely the result of being cold. “Keep as warm-as possible when touring in cold weather and it will be easier to observe the simple rules | of caution,” it urges: According tothe A: A. A. a ‘large percentage of wintertime accidents are preventable, warming devices being the preventive. e “These should include suitable clothing, particularly warm gloves,” says the bulletin. “Too many driv- ers are handicapped by numb fing- ers during their winter trips so that if they are called upon to re-crank the motor in an emergency, dim the headlights’ or shift gears*they are at a loss. “Tt is foolhardy to attempt to make great mileage without suffi. cient stopovers for hot drinks and|° food. It requires more energy to fight the elements in winter, and drivers cannot afford to feel that] ° because they are. stimulated by the snappy air they can ‘endure more strenuous driving. “Keeping warm ts the first rule of keeping safe in cold weather.
