Stock car race debate over true stock status and evasion
Dr. W Matheson and other manufacturers condemn stock car events as misleading. He argues that many so called stock cars use special ignition, lighter components, racing rims, and other modifications that strip them of true stock status. He warns public deception may prompt a backlash and urges manufacturers to avoid competitions with rule evasion.

Auto Delivery Brings New Twist to Produce Row
The Pruitt Commission company and A. Johns Auto company in the city expand operations with 1911 Hudson auto deliveries. Five to seven wagons used previously cannot meet orders quickly enough, so the commission firm adopts an automobile draw to speed fulfillment. The move marks a notable rise in local auto deliveries and may be singular in the state.
