While the system OF scoring the run
was eTninently fair in the opinion or
those who participated, and one which
has been gradually developed by a Sc
ries OF A. A. A. tests Of this character,
the prospective purchaser should not
get the idea that the penalization list
furnishes an ironbound criterion OF the
merits OF the various cars.
Take, for instance, this one question
Of tire punctures. on which several cars
were Indirectly penalized through
hardness necessitated by repairs. The
puncturing OF a tire does not indicate
any defect on the part Of the machine,
nor in many cases carelessness Of the
driver. Yet it was manifestly neCes-
sary 70 place some limit on the time
allotted for covering the course. and
the misfortunes of those who suffered
from punctures and consequent delays
were perfect examples Of necessary
evils.

Before the run there was much tax
of antipathy on the part OF the farmers.
The conditions proved that exactly the
reverse was true. The claim frequently
made by friends of the auto that the
farmer knows little and cares less
about the passage OF motoring parties
as long as they exercise common sense
in protecting travellers from unneces-
sary dangers, was borne out in striking
fashion on the trip Of Tuesday.
The Overland, while IL was TOO late
to enter the run, set out 10 cover the
course. s1d met with the unusual acct
dent Of Puncturing its gasolene tank.
The party sought temporary refuge
from storm In a nearby farm house,
and were Hospitality entertained for the
night, given dry clothing. and rendered
