That quiet, .unassuming young-
sters who has seen no more than
twenty summers, little Silbio
Coucci, is the most popular jockey
in the East, and one of the great-
est riders of the present day.
4 Coucci was born of Italian par-
ents in the Bronx section of New
York City. He has been interested
in horses ever since he was a tiny
shaver, and it was always his one
ambition to be a jockey. His older
brother Annthony was a successful
rider, but after booting home forty
winners, he had to quit because of
too much weight.
Little Silvio’s parents didn’t ob-
ject to his becoming a jockey. In-
stead they encouraged him, which
was not a bad idea at all. for now
young Coucci is one of the highest
wage-earners on the turf.
Silvio’s modest manner in the
face of his popularity and success
is somehow reminiscent of that j
idol of the roped arena. Jimm£
McLamin. The little jockey never <
forgets the “sir" when answering a ;
question, and always addresses i
Willie Brennan, his trainer, as Mr. j
Brennan. ,
Mrs. Payne Whitney, the noted
owner, had Coucci under cortract
and values Silvio more than any of
her famous thoroughbreds.
Coucci says his biggest thrill was
winning the 1932 American Derby
^ith Gusto. He still thinks Gusto
was ‘he best horse he ever rode,
but opines that Twenty Grand is
the greatest horse he has ever
seen.
Among his fellow jockeys, Silvio
thinks that Johnny Gilbert and
Bobby Jones rate tops. But if yrtu
listen to enthusiastic Eastern turf
followers, they will tell you that

The locals have been strengthened
by the return of Oeie Arnold, Tex-

Saturday’s heavy downpour . fol-
lowing upon Tuesday and Wednes-
day's splendid rainfall put DeWitt
county local roads in bad condition
for the first time in more than four
months. All state highways with the
exception of highway 80. under con- |
struction, between thfc city and
Hochheim are paved and in good
condition. Motorists enroute to
Gonzales and central Texas, via No.
80 are advised to travel via 72 to
Yoakum and thence to Hochheim
and Gonzales. This route is better
even in dry weather. The best
route to Goliad and Beeville is via
Yorktown or Victoria.

XhE immediate and enthusiastic acceptance of the
new Firestone Century Progress Tire started a tremendous
wave of buying that is keeping the Firestone factories
running twenty-four hours a day to meet this huge demand, i
We knew that car owners would replace their thin-worn,
dangerous tires if they could get what they wanted in a tire
at the price they wanted to pay. We found the answer
through ten million visitors to the Firegtone Factory at the
World’s Fair last year. We asked them-—1“What do you
value most in a tire?*’—and their answer was—1’‘Give us
Blowout Protection, Non-Skid Safety, and Long Wear, at
a moderate price.”
Drive in to the Firestone Service Dealer or Service
Store today! Equip your car with these new Firestone
Century Progress Tires, with the massive flat tread,
deep-cut non-skid, broad husky shoulders, and Gum-Dipped
cords. Tire prices probably never again will be as low as
they are today. At these unusually low prices for first grade
tires, we make it easy for you to huv uot only one tire, hut
a complete set.
