5000 MILES SAXON TEST

Covering 5000 miles in 80 days is
the task mapped out for the Saxon
roadster that is making a daily run
over the Boston and Springfield route
The schedule of the car calls for goo
mile round trip each day from Boston
to Springfield and return via Wor-
cester.
From latest reports this machine
had passed the halfway mark, and
was operating as smoothly as the day
IL started the severe test, So far as
records show, no automobile has ever
attempted to cover so much distance
in the same length of time as this
1895 car is making. Ii started April
and is due to end its series of trips on
the night OF April 80 The run is be-
ing held simultaneously with an en-
durance test that is being made by
another Saxon roadster between New
York and Albany, along the Hudson
river. The New York run is almost
as severe as the one being staged in
New England. 1t requires covering
$500 miles, $50 miles a day for so
days.

Ignition at High and Low Speeds

\. -. H.: What conditions are
best for the formation of a spark in
the engine cylinder when the engine is
running slow or at high speed p
The answer to your question de-
ponds upon whether you refer to the
battery or magnetic type of ignition. In
the case of the magnetic, insomuch as
the current increases directly as the
speed of the motor, the hottest spark
will be formed at high speeds. The
strength OF the current from a battery
however, is the same whether the
motor he running fast or slow. and
inasmuch as the resistance 10 the pas
sage of a spark is much greater at
high compression than is the case If
the compression is low. the spark will
fail more frequently under the former
conditions. AS high speed of the
motor is obtained by opening the
throttle, the compression is higher at
this time than is the case when the
motor is not able TO suck full charge
into its cylinder.

QUESTIONS OF GENERAL INTER.
EST
Hitting Steering Wheels

M. f. D.: 1T is rather difficult to
enter some cars from the drivers seat
because of the small space allowed be-
tween the side and front of the seat
and the lower rim of the steering
wheel. What adjustments are pro-
vided so that a driver may easily enter
his seat from the left side?"
Several ingenious adjustments are
provided for the purpose of which you
speak. one car has a fitting steering
wheel By means of which the rim may
be dropped to vertical position
merely at the release of a catch. On
another the wheel may be slid for
ward; third type provides for the
"telescoping" of the upper portion OF
the steering column into the lower
half so that the entire wheel is lower
ed; while a fourth device consists in
movable drivers seat that has range
of three or four inches and that may
be clamped To any desired position
within this limit

Protection from Moths

WASHlNGION, -. C.-Ine various
substances used to keep away moths,
such as tobacco. camphor. napthalene
cones or balls, tarred paper and cedar
chips hive no effect IL the eggs are
already present in the clothes, and
entomology specialists in the United
States Department of Agriculture
therefore recommend a thorough beat
ing shaking and brushing OF all ar
ticles likely TO attract moths, before
they are laid away for the summer.
The brushing OF garments is especially
important in order 10 remove eggs
which may have escaped notice. If
the articles are quite free from eggs or
larvae when laid away, the odor from
the various repellents already men
toned or from cedar chests and ward
robes will serve TO keep the moths
away. This odor. however. lessons
with age, so that the protection il
affords is greatly decreased after
few years. For this reason when furs
and other valuable garments are
wrapped in tarred paper these con-
tainers should be renewed every year
or two.
In general moths are likely to af-
feet only articles which are put away
and left undisturbed for some little
time. Apartments and closets that are
frequently aired and swept are not apt
TO be seriously affected. In fact air
ing and sunlight are probably the best
as well as the Oldest remedies. Where
circumstances demand that the arti-
cles be put away, however, a conven-
lent and effective device is TO place
them in large paste board boxes such
as tailors use and gum a strip of
wrapping paper around the edge so
as To seal up the box completely and
leave no cracks. If the garments have
been thoroughly cleaned before being
placed i'm these boxes, no additional
protection is necessary and there is
none of the Objectionable odUr which
is characteristic of so many moth re-
pellents.

gasoline, the efficiency and economy
of the high-powered twins are also re-
markable. Even though these may
develop four or five times the power Of

be feared that the gasoline consump-
ton will be in proportion. In fact.
the gasoline consumption ofsan or

So or so miles. on the basis OF f2c
for gasoline, this would bring the cost
OF the smallest machine a little over
one-tenth OF a cent a mile and the
cost of fuel for the larger twins to
about one-fifth of cent per mile. IL
should be borne in mind. OF course,
that these figures apply TO fuel only
and that we must add a small amount
to cover oil consumption and wear on

-. f. F.: Il understand that some

is this possible? ?"
Much will depend upon the quality
of oil, or rather it's price At its usual
fivegallon lot price Of 80 cents a gal
Ion this would represent but five gal
Ions to lubricate the motor for 900
miles. or 1000 miles 20 the gallon But
even if this oil is the cheapest kind
and could be had for % cents gallon
we would find a supposed oil mileage
OF 1000 per gallon Such results
would be possible if the car was used
with the greatest Of care on smooth,
level roads. but il is u dangerous sug-
gestion 10 iustill into the mind of the
average owner The fabrication Of
motor represents what is almost a neg
ligible expense. and as the very life of
the car depends upon the use Of the
proper quantity and quality OF oil, do
not feel that any temptations should
be offered that would lead toward a
reduction i'm either Of these essential
features Use the oil that Is best suit
ed To your car. and use plenty of il.
Then, even though a friend of yours
may say that he is operating his car
at far less cost. you may be sure that
your repair bills at the end of 1000
or 10000 miles will be far less than
his.
