IN GASOLINE
Saxon Cars Average 34.75 Miles
Per Gallon in a Run of
200 Miles.

An average of 34.75 miles to the gallon
of gasoline was the remarkable record
made by Saxon cars in the 2OO-mile
Saxon nonstop contest for dealers May
16. according to the first batch of reports
to be received.
In this contest $50 Saxon dealers were
entered from all sections of the country
Each of the competing cars was driven
200 miles without stopping the engine-a
total Of 5000 miles of continuous serv-
ice under all conditions of roads and
weather Each driver was accompanied
by a newspaper man, who acted as OBJ
server and checked the amount Of gaso-
line consumed.
The average mileage scored was at the
rate of less than one-fourth cent a mile
for fuel for each passenger. Where con-
ditions were most favorable, as In New
Rochelle, N. Y; Des Moines. Iowa. and
Webb Cit, Mo. an average Of better
than forty-seven miles to the gallon was
secured. Despite heavy rains. muddy
roads and steep hills in some territories,
all but six Of the contestants did better
than thirty miles to the gallon. The low
est score was 1857 miles per gallon.
Reports show also that an average
speed of 200 miles an hour was main
tanned by the Saxons throughout the
run. One dealer averaged 27.6 miles and
another on a short speed test managed
to get his car up to 43 miles an hour.

sometimes skip around deep holes, where
la car with standard tread would have
found the road absolutely impossible. 1t
was a very uncomfortable feeling. how
ever. when going over these ruts, some
of them two feet deep, and the wheels
just an inch or two from the edges. Near
Richmond We found an excellent road,
which was indeed appreciated.
ours was the first cyclecar in the
old Confederate capital. and this. to-
gether with the knowledge the people
had of the road We had come over won
for the little car a great deal of atten-
ton. During three-day visit we had
great deal of rain. Our experience so far
had been over dry roads, and this time
even we had our doubts.
The roads We're frightful, but. exercfs-
ing infinite patience and perseverance, We
made mile after mile and passed three
cars mired in the red clay. We saw no
more of these cars on the way north.
and unless the roads have since dried up
we fear the cars are still there, as their
plight seemed hopeless. The rains had
swollen the creeks and several times we
had to get out and push the Mercury
through deep fords. but it seemed good
fun and we continued on our way.
Every one had a pleasant word for US
as we went along. the diminutiveneSs of
our car causing many hearty laugh.
Friend in Need.
Leaving Frederick burg in heavy
rain we had come about ten miles. We
were going up a hill and met young
farmer with a team and wagon. He told
US he would be back in few minutes, as
we would need him. Expressing our sur
prise, he said we would see the reason
when we reached the top of the hill. We
did. Ahead of us for nearly mile was
water and red clay in about equal pro-
thorouChly mixed A
with four mules was hopelessly mired,
and Il horse ami carriage was proceeding
with great difficulty.
We went about fifty feet and stopped.
The rear wheels We're spinning around,
but we were not moving. and | really be-
lieve the car was floating in that glutinous
mass.
True to his promise, our newly found
friend soon returned and fastened a chain
to the front axle. Exercising the utmost
caution to save his horses from the fate
of the nearby mules, our driver slowly
but surely pulled the almost submerged
Mercury along. At last the worst was
over, and with rare courtesy our friend
refused remuneration for his kindness
Fence Rails Come in Handy.
las the day was almost spent, we soon
stopped at a farmhouse for the. night.
and the next day resumed our attempt to
master the strip of red clay which in that
locality is called a road. By using renee
rails and brush. we made mile after mile,
and Old Sol peeped out and did his best
toward drying up the road. Fortunately,
conditions somewhat improved and we
reached Alden by nightfali.
Escaping further rain and with con-
stantly improving roads we easily reached
Washington early in the afternoon Of the
following day. We were tired. but happy
and proud of the little car which had ie1t
behind three other cars, and only bowed

Would Deal With States.

1.-THE first essential feature is that the
federal government shall deal with no
political unit smaller than the state.
There are nearly 5000 counties and
10000 townships in the United States,
thus making 1900 units which the fed
eral government must deal with II 1t
undertakes to give federal aid on a
local basis. This, from an administra-
tive standpoint, would be almost impos-
sible. and certainly enormously ex-
pensive. From a political standpoint the
pressure which would be exerted upon
the individual congressman by the
counties and townships in his district
each trying to get a hand into the fed
eral Treasury, would be SO persistent and
SO relentless that self-respecting men
would throw up the Job leaving the field
open to the political wire pullers. The
realization of these fatal defects in any
plan of extreme localization renders alb
solutely certain the adoption of the state
as the smallest unit.
"It may be accepted as equally GER
tain that no federal aid plan will re-
ceive the stamp of congressional approval
unles it provides some measure Of self
help on the part of the state. There
are more than two and a quarter mil
lion miles of public road in the United
States and less than 10 per cent of this
mileage can be digniied with the title

TOUR IN SMALL CAR

Incidents of Recent Trip by

NORFOLK TO RICHMOND,

Fine Dust in Sections, Then Rain,

y motor trip, fraught with interesting
adventures and incidents. has just been
completed by Robert L. and Paul H.
Macneil of this city. who spent several
days touring through the Old Dominion
in cyclecar. They had often made
trips in their Mercury cycIecar about
Washington and throughout Maryland,
but the longest of these had only been
to baltimore and Annapolis on good
roads. Filled with a desire of demon
strating to their own satisfaction the
confidence they felt in the little cars
ability to cope with greater difficulties
of much longer tour over roads of a
different character, they journeyed forth
to learn by experience.
In speaking of the trip few days ago
Robert L. Macneil said:
Our opportunity came very suddenly
one afternoon when we learned we could
leave town for a few days. We lost no
time and soon had the Mercury on board
the Norfolk steamer Most of the fol-
lowing day was spent in pleasant rides
around Norfolk. so 1t was very late in
the afternoon before we took the ferry
over to Newport News and really started
toward Richmond on the first lap of our
long tour.

FREE AUTOMOB|LER| RIDE
FOR ORPHAN CHILDREN
Annual Outing Scheduled to Be
Held at Glen Echo Park
June 2.

Col W. c. Long, chairman of the
orphans day outing to be given this
year under the auspices of the Automo-
bile Trade Association of Washington, D.
c.. announced yesterday that the several
hundred parentless children of the Ma
tional Capital will be entertained by the
motorists of Washington Tuesday,
June 2.
L. B. Schloss. manager of Glen Echo
Park. has donated the use of the grounds
again this year. as he has done for sew
eral years past. and in addition will sup
ply the little ones with tickets to num-
Der of amusements on the grounds
Good Things to Eat.
The little folks will also have plenty
of ice cream, cake, candy. peanuts and
good things to eat on that day. There
will be nothing left undone to see that
the orphans have good time.
The motorists for a number of years
past have always responded to this
worthy cause. and the committee eN-
presses the hope that this year will be
no exception. At least sixty ears will be
needed this year to convey the children
out to the grounds, and motorists are
requested to tender the use of their cars
for a few hours on that afternoon in
order that none of the children in the
various institutions may be disappointed.
The start will be made from in front
of the District building at l o'clock in
the afternoon. Car owners will be ask
ed to have their cars report to the COM
mittee at 10 O'Clock.
To Collect Children.
They. will then be dispatched to the
different institutions, and after the last
load has been returned to the starting
point the machines will be lined up and
headed over the Conduit road to Glen
Echo. The return trip will be made
about o'clock.
Assisting Col. Long will be II. B.

GOOD ROADS MEASURE
IS EXPECTED TO PASS
Members of Congress Realize Their
Constituents Desire Federal
Appropriation.

That Congress will finally pass at
this session a good roads bill framed
along practical lines seems highly prob
able. Congress is overwhelmingly in
favor of good roads legislation. This is
election year, and the members of Con-
gres from rural districts fully realize
that no single measure would endear
them to their constituents to quite the
same extent as an appropriation from
the federal Treasury to help in the
building of good roads,
This is the comment of George G.
Diehl, chairman of the national good
roads board of the American Automo-
bile Association, which is an active fac
tor throughout the country in highways
progress. Continuing, Mr.. Diehl says:
"Out of the wilderness of good roads

tom. certain basic features have been
evolved which will undoubtedly be in
corporated in the legislation to be enact

G. Sherwood Eddy, general secre-
tary of the Young Mems Christian
Association Of all Asia, stopped in
Honolulu for few hours yesterday

months spent on the mainland. His

sightseeing about the city in company
with Mrs. Eddy, and at noon he adj
dressed large gathering OF members
of the local association in the lobby.
Nj. Eddy is a world figure In Christ

Yale university in 1891. He went to
India shortly after finishing his theol-
ogical course in Union and Princeton,
where. for Is years, he worked among
the students Of the India Empire.
Three years ago he was called by the
international conmittee to become
general secretary of the Young Mems
Christian Association of all Asia.
Mr. Eddy was engaged with DR.. John
r. Mott. well-known in Honolulu. in
conducting meetings for students
throughout Asia during the past
year. The student audience averaged
doRdh 5CVV o nA6AAt3 s1VVO
a night and in China 2e00 night in
the Ia cities of that great Republic.
The government of China opened its
colleges to Mr.. Eddy in the city of
Pekin and arranged Mr.. Eddy's meet
ings in the capital city. He visited
Foochow at the Invitation OF the IS
presidents OF the government colleges
there. The parliament in that city
adjourned and invited him to address
the members.
Mr.. Eddy spoke yesterday in q very
interesting manner regarding the great
advance which Christianity has made
In Asia during the past several years.
