CLAIMS SPEED RECORD.
Claude Nelson Insists He Topped
Seven Miles Off Record.

A claim has been filed with the con-
test board of the American Automobile
Association by Claude Nelson, who
negotiated a mile at Atlantic Beach,
Fla. in 81 rs seconds, which he claims
is seven miles faster than the worlds
record made by Howard Wilcox, in
1911. The record was made in a reg
ular Cadillac stock car, being demon
strating car, with the body taken off
and wire wheels put on.
Repeated tests showed that the eight
cylinder car in the best time made
averaged 96A miles per hour, making
the mile in 81 2-5 seconds. The best
official time ever made with a stock
model with 301 to $50 cubic-inch piston
displacement was 1922 seconds for the
mile, or an average of 1929 miles per
hour. This, if officially recognized by
the American Automobile Association,
will give the Cadillac eight" the dis
tinction of being the fastest stock car
in the world, by being seven miles
faster per hour than that made by
Wilcox.
During the course of the tests a
camera was dashed on the radiator cap
pointing directly at the driver and
while Nolan drove the car at ninety
miles an hour directly in front of the
crowd, he pressed the button and took
the facial expression of himself, while
under the strain of driving at this
rate of speed. For the past year the
Cadillac eight" has been esta blishipg

FOR UNIFORM LICENSE PLATE.
Society of Automobile Engineers to
Urge One in All States.

Zone of the most important consid-
erations in connection with proper ad-
ministration of automobile regulations
is that of insuring clear and unmis-
taxable identification for every We
hicle on the road" says the Society
of Automobile Engineers
while the laws of most states are
substantially in agreement in requir-
license plate, their varying interpreta-
tions of the necessary conditions have
bred a state of confusion that is not
only distasteful to the public, but is
in measure subversive of the pur-
pose of the official marker. The lack
of uniformity in license plates also is
distasteful to automobile makers, for
ing the need of harmonizing such
minor differences in the plates as
have no particular bearing on the
legal requirements of the license ques-
ton, the Society of Automobile Engi-
neers Is just concluding an extensive
forthcoming winter meeting, which is
to be held in New York city, January
5 and s, will offer for acceptance by
the authorities standard form OF
plate that has been designed with a
view to eliminating present difficulties
mobile parts and materials. the So
ciety aims to be of assistance to the
manufacturers in solving their COM
mon problems, and with this purpose
in view has framed recommendations
that will be of primary benefit in en-
with standard license plate brackets
that will be adapted to receive the
regular plate prescribed by the laws
of any state"

cial automobiles sent to Europe from
New York amounted to s1.47s.905. At

MAKES JOURNEY IN AUTO
WASHINGTON TO TOLEDO
Minister Whitlock Prefers That
Method of Travel to Riding
in Pullman.

Preferring an automobile to a private
car. Brand Whitlock, United States
minister to Belgium. made his home
going trip from Washington to To-
ledo, Ohio, in an Overland six" tour
ing ear.
Although Mr.. Whitlock arrived at the
Capitol tired and worn from the great
strain he has been under, he decided
that he could secure greater rest and
| recreation by making the trip to To-
ledo in an automobile than in a Pull
| man. In spite of the fact that the
| weather was severely cold during the
entire four days taken on the journey.

trip immensely.

known as the 'Michelin universal
tread" The tire is the result of a
three-year test, conducted on the pub
lie roads in the vicinity of the factory
at Midtown, n. j. Various type vehi-
cles were used in these tests, according
to the automobile department of Bar
Der e. Ross, local representatives for
the tire, which covered 1872 miles daily,
over all kinds of road. The non-skid
feature is a combination of the raised

had ever seen abroad.
Trip Not Marred by Accident.

No punctures or trouble of any kind
marred the journey. Double chains
had to be wrapped around the rear
wheels of the car as the roads led the
way over mountains seldom traversed
by an automobile. Fifty-one gallons
of gasoline and only one and one-half
gallons of oil were consumed by the
Overland during the entire four days.
When the car was examined in To-
ledo it was found to be in perfect con-
dition. No water had been put in the
tank from the time it left Washington.
Upon his arrival home Mr.. Whitlock
declared the hours spent in the open
air and the exhilaration of driving had
, been of Unreasonable benefit to him, as
it was the first time in two years he
had had an opportunity of enjoying a
complete rest.
