REMARKABLE RUN is
MADE BY BUICK SIX

To start out to drive from Lexington
to Louisville, Ky, S2.7 miles, with only
a pint over two gallons of gasoline,
would be considered somewhat fool
hardy, especially If your car is six,
but the run is one that was made May
10, according to the sworn statement
of ]. T. Cassidy mayor of Lexington,
]. William Miller, acting mayor of
Louisville, Lyman w. Carter, Charles
C. Swearingen and James e. Poston,
Lexington and Louisville newspaper
men. The car was Buick six and
the official report is 38.9 miles to the
gallon. This is believed to be the
worlds record for skies.
Besides the driver We're three official
observers, the newspaper men above
named, and the start was made at $3.50
a. m. At 2:10 in the afternoon the
party was at the Louisville city hall.
The drive was made with sealed tank
and the speedometer was tested by
H. P. McGinnis, Stewart Warner
speedometer service man.
Just few days previous, on April
81, the Buick six made the run be-
tween Cincinnati and Dayton, a dis
lance of 53.2 miles, and made 26.6
miles to the gallon. The route was
the worst out of Cincinnati, and in
cluded four stops. In one place the
road was through a creek, dip ne
cessitated by a bridge which had gone
out near Lebanon.

AUTOMOBILES
Buick Plant at Flint, Mich, One
Of Magnificent Distances

To see the Buick plant at Flint prop
erly means a couple of days at least.
That is the impression got from put
ting in several hours wandering
through shop after shop and then be-
ing told that only a tiny part of the
plant had been covered. Almost every
one interested in automobiles has
heard that the Buick has the largest
single plant in this country, or the
world for that matter, but it takes see
ing to prove this is so. After having
visited Flint-which is worth the two
and half hour trolley trip from De-
troit-one comes away with an entirely
new impression of the Buick car and
a feeling of pride in American accom-
plishment in doing things on such a
scale. 1t isn't that the Buick is the
biggest builders of cars in the coun-
try. Its total of $4,000 passenger cars
for 1914 isn't the greatest by many
cars. But it's the factory and the or
ganization that does it which earns at

tempts will be given each man in In
verse order OF entry, insuring an even
distribution of favors and a fair
chance to every one.
An eleventh-hour contract for the
forty fifth entry was received by the
speedway officials, but in accordance
with the wishes OF the entrant, abso-
lutte secrecy Is being maintained con-
corning this car. 1t is said, however,
that the machine Is a sensation which
might step out and cause a lot of
trouble.
The only reason for keeping the car
under cover. its hackers say, is that no
driver has yet been selected. Not
wanting to make a poor showing and
crack pilots being pretty scarce at the
present moment, they prefer to keep
their plans in the dark until every
thing is fixed. Should they fail to
make satisfactory arrangements, they
will scratch their mount without say
ing any more about 1t, thus reducing
the field to A again.
One Prospect Is Out.
Case was the only prospect that
failed to make its appearance this
year. This outfit preferred the prim-
rose path of the bush league circuit to
the tough competition of the 500 mile,
racing in the east at present.
Then there was an entry by Roy c.
Bauer of Buffalo, which was rejected
because the motor was over the speed
way limit, and another by r. C. Penne-
baker of Memphis, who did not make
UP his mind In time.
Multiplicity of entries, 45 in all, has
caused officials of the contest to sug-
gest extending the period of elimina-
ton trials, at present limited to two
days. starting Wednesday, May 81, to
three
With A cars in the field, and at
least 80 minutes required to try each
one three times on separate days, it
becomes apparent that extra time will
have to be found elsewhere.
The present plan is to advance the
date of starting to Tuesday instead of
Wednesday. Friday, the day before
the race. is being reserved for putting
the track In shape. American Auto
mobile association officials are at pres :
emit considering the matter in detail, so
that decision will no doubt soon be
reached.
Construction Of a new stand on the
south turn of the Indianapolis motor
speedway has been ordered, due to the
extremely heavy seat sale being reg
istered for the next 500-mile race.
This makes the eighth pavilion to go
UP in ALL with practically a mile of
frontage and seating accommodations
for 10000. Plenty of space is still
available elsewhere because many
seats are not sold until the final day.
Meanwhile a general overhauling of
all structures on the grounds is under

of lumber in body manufacture. This

money too; 5219 tons at valuation of
$459,S70, or 1888 a day.
Some one with an analytical frame
of mind in the purchase department
has figured out that If the 3013 tons
Of sheet steel used during the year

it would make a path 7OS miles long,
II miles more than the distance from
Detroit to New York.
-Four switch engines are kept busy
all day and two all night shunting cars
and making up trains in the Buick
yards. Three transfer cars are kept
at the motor building for loading dur
ing the day, and at night they are
rolled up to the dock at the assembly
plants.
In handling the carriage the move
ments Of trucks for all interfactory
and downtown deliveries is directed by
dispatcher who operates much the
same system as a train dispatcher. He
sits all day long, telephone receiver
clamped on his left ear, directing the
drivers from one loading station to the
next. 1t is estimated that this method
saves the company around 100000 a
year. There are twenty-five motor
trucks and ten horse drawn wagons
always on the job. The motor wagons
take care of the regular work and the
other equipment gathers up and dumps
the odds and ends. technically desig-
mated as junk.
The company management has a

sanitation for the men. Each factory
has its own lunch room, it's own lava
tories and drinking fountains bubbling
with water from the company's own
artesian wells There is an ambulance
service, a complete system of en-
ployes' insurance and downtown club
rooms for social enjoyment in the
evening.
