No WEAR ON PARTS
AFTER LONG Run

A unique performance has just been
completed with a Cadillac Thirty in
nlinois-a thousand mile non-engine
stop run to complete the first ten
thousand miles covered by the car
and the disassembling of the motor,
transmission and rear axle to show
the practically perfect condition OF the
parts after running 10000 miles.
The car has been in use in and
around TOnica, H., since last Novem-
Der as a demonstrating and livery car
and had received the rough usage and
indifferent care which inevitably falls
to the lot of cars in that service.
When, it had been run about 5000
miles, Rollen Travis, the owner, de-
cided to complete the first 10000 miles
with a nonstop run.
This was successfully accomplished
and when the car was disassembled, it
was found that no part of the motor
transmission or rear axle had beer
worn to an extent discernible with the
naked eye. Caliper measurements Of
the working parts of the engine, com
pared with new parts that had nevel
been used, failed to disclose any ap
preciable wear.
Mr. Travis says that since he ha
had the car he has never had TIT
valves ground or the carbon cleaned
from the cylinders; and that the en-
CINE has never given a moments trou
BILE, although the car has been handled
lat various times, by six to eight dit
ferent rs.-EXchange.

LAND ASSESSMENTS VERY LOW

Virginia land prices are low, by the
valuations as they appear IN the DOCKS
of the auditor.
The auditor does not fix the assess
ments. That work is done once IN ilve
years by assessors named by the courts.
Lands in Virginia are taxed at only
about $4.S7 TO 81. 80 per acre. That has
been arrived at by taking all the acreage
and ascertaining the value thereof and
dividing the value by the acreage. Inc
figures are approximate rather than
exact.
Persons who are holding lands at any
where from $50 to $3.50 per acre are
keeping up the average. In this estimate
no account is taken Of building on the
land only on the land itself.
Picking some thirty countIes-so that
each section would be represented and
mountains and swamps included the
following results are shown, the figures
being that of the average for the coun-
