 The car which weighed $500 pounds, ran 12.5 miles on a measured galloon of the fluid and had range of from four miles to 55 miles on high gear; with gasoline testing 64 degrees the car ran 17.5 miles on a gallon and had a range of from to 61 miles on high gear.

 In automobile circles this run has been a much discussed event The performance of the car is taken to in- dicate the progress that has been made in the art of building small auto mobilesIt is recalled that up 10 ., few years ago even the highest-pr4csd most powerful, motor cars would hardly attempted the feat that has been accomplished by this low-priced vehicle.

Three-wheeIed electric vehicles are being employed by New York de- partment store to make deliveries to hotels. This special type of delivery wagon has been assigned to hetel ser vice, as transient customers seldom buy heavy goods and consequently the weight of the vehicles delivering them does not have to be distributed over so many wheels. Prompt deliveries can be made with these cars. as they are adapted to maneuvering through crowds and can be turned around easily in restricted uarters.
 The delivery wagons are capable of carving 500 pounds for a distance of 35 miles at a speed of 12 miles per hour. The battery is installed under the seat, and the motor is mounted in a vertical position over the front wheel which exerts the entire tractivc effort. The vehicles were manufac- tured in Germany

The Southwest is sure to see some lively competition at its one beach meet this year, which takes place July 29 and 30 and August 1 and 3, at Gal weston Texas. Among the latest stars to enter are Eddie Ricken5acker, who won the $25,OO0 race at Sioux City on July 4th. and Ralph Mulford, who scored second place in the last 5O0 mile race at Indianapolis.
 Joe Horan will be at Galveston with a string of three cars, Chandler has entered. Jack Le Cain and Charles Keene" Among the other drivers are Jack Tower. George Clark. F. J. Kin dred of Dallas: Condo Mosley. Tor nado" JOssOp and others. IL is quite likely that Barney Oldfield will be an other star to be seen at Galveston. At present he is endeaVOring to secure a fast car for the meet in order to att tack the beach record for the mile.
 IL is expected that the crowd at Gal weston Beach this year will be greater than at any previous meet. Each suc- cessive season the attendance has in- creased materially. 1t has become a fad for automobile clubs and private owners throughout Texas. Oklahoma, Arkansas and other southwestern states to make tours to Galveston for the races. The fact that numerous roads have been built and improved in that section of the country recently is largely responsible for the influx to the southwest's great summer resort during the Cotton Carnival Week.

They are going to have merry
time in Sioux City over some eight
miles of pavement, which has been
laid this season. 1t is good pavement
and nobody is objecting on that
score. But many people object be-
cause they have been called upon to
pay something toward the cost of that
pavement even though their property
does not abut on the improvement.
OF course, it has been the custom to
assess paving against contiguous
property only. But after all, that is
not fair, either. And people do not
object simply because the custom is
All old one. Many property owners
who have no vehicle, get no benefit
from paving only, in so far as prop
erty is supposed to increase in value
in section of the city that is well
paved. But that also applies to prop
erty that does not abut on the pave
ment. Suppose that property own
ers objected who have no vehicles,
eventually it would be impossible to
geI a law or an arrangement that will
be satisfactory to every one or to levy
a tax which will bear with equal
