Exposition Head Now
Uses Cadillac Eight

With. the recent delivery of Cadil-
lac Eight to President C. C. Moore. of
the Panama-Pacific Exposition at San
Francisco. this car becomes more than
ever the exposition car. President
Moores car is a standard Cadillac
limousine. bearing on the panel between
the doors the official seal of the expo
Sition.
Before President Moore's limousine
went into use. the Cadillac occupied e
position of prominence at the eNposi-
tfon,. The California fair commission
srS have one. and two Cadillac ambu-
lances are in use inside the grounds.
There is also an exhibit of the complete
Cadillac line in the Transportation
Building. This Includes a cut-open
chassis which has been pronounced the
most beautifully finished and the most
completely exposed specimen OF its
kind ever shipped to the coast
This car plays a large part in the
official life OF the San Diego Exposi-
tion also. There 1t is the official ear.
President Davidson has q limousine
and two touring cars are in the SER
vice OF other officials. At San Diego.
on state occasions, IL is always the
Cadillac Eight that carries distinguish
ed visitors back and forth; and now
that the San Francisco Fair has a car
of the same make. the same probably
will be the case there.

Saxon Cars Make 81
Miles to the Gallon

Final results of the New York AL
bany and Boston Springfield thirty-daN
runs by Saxon roadsters snow remark
able economy records. both cars aver
ging better than thirty-one miles TO
the gallon of gasoline and seventy-hVe
miles to the pint of oil.
An interesting feature of the Boston
Springfield run was the whirl-wind
finish Carrying a letter from the
Mayor OF Boston to the Mayor of
Springfield on the final trip. G.. f, LON :
bard drove the Saxon the last 200
miles without once stopping the motor.
After receiving congratulations OF the
mayor of Springfield. and with the mo-
tor still running, he added 800 miles
more of nonstop running. In other
words, the car actually covered $500
miles. the final 500 miles being nom
stop run.
Albany trip showed that in thirty days
the expense for operation of the car
was $27.6t for the entire trip. The
Speedometer showed that because of
detours made necessary by road repair
ing the Saxon covered more than it's
scheduled distance. the mileage being
1872 miles at a cost of one-half cent
a mile. The best days economy aver
age was thirty-three miles per gallon
of gasoline and 100 miles to the pint
The car that ran between Boston
and Albany covered 200 miles a day
with total in thirty days of 5000
miles. So far as automobile statis-
tics show this is record NUMBER OF
miles for an automobile to travel in
thirty days.
The New York Albany car ran $50
miles a day for thirty days, or total
of $500 miles. A considerable part of
each days travel necessitated climbing
many hills, which made the test to
which this car was put severe as
that of the Saxon in the New England
territory.
The Boston, Springfield car made a
round trip each day between these tvs
cities. The New York Albany car made
a one-way trip each day, going to Al
bany along one side of the Hudson
bank
Both Saxons early in the long grind
encountered what was considered the
worst blizzard of the winter in the
East. They maintained their schedule
in spite of the handicap OF plowing
their way through snow all along the
route.

Wealthy Motorists Will
Tour American Roads

Motor courses in Americanism," is
Hugh Chalmers way OF defining the
Significance OF the sudden vogue of
transcontinental automobile trips
upon this country.
The head of the Chalmers Motor
Company holds that provincialism and
Isectionaiism fade away before the
magic of cross-country motoring.
Cutting cross section of the
country by means of leisurely cara
waning trip by motor" asserts Mr..
Chalmers, will AFFORD intimate
glimpses of different regions of their
country to Americans who have hith-
erto been veritab1e strangers in their
own land.
"Europe's war. which has barred
globe-trotting Americans from foreign
haunts, is going to give our wander
ers and lovers of the exotic dose OF
genuine, old-fashioned Americanism
that will do them heap of good.
As they go motoring in this coun-
try, they will discover that most of
our roads lack the perfection of Eu-
ropes motor trails. They will dis
cover that one reason for our mediocre
roads is the fact that too many Ameri-
can dollars have been poured into the
funnel of foreign travel in past years.
The touring season of 1915 will
teach Americas wealthy sons many
of Americas needs. Ii Will vitalize
the need of better roads and better
wayside inns for devotees OF the steer
ing wheel and the open road.
The wholesome rigors that tourists
Will encounter on the road will do no
harm. Those who drive from coast
to coast on the Lincoln highway will
find ii a boulevard compared with
many roads with which they are IA
miliar.
Even its desert stretches need not
be approached with alarm. There are
not more than three or four bad
spots on the great American desert
and even those are not much over a
hundred yards in extent"
Mr.. Chalmers declares that many
Chalmers owners will spend their va
cations in their own cars this sum-
mer. Vacations thus spent, he asserts,
will prove not only profitable but eco-
nomical. See America First" he
says, and see it from your car"

CADILLAC FIRST IN TIRE
MILEAGE CONTEST

The first prize of $500 in the annual
tire mileage contest conducted by the
AjaX-Grieb Rubber Company has just
been awarded to Garth C. Jensen. He
drove the same tire casing on Cadil-
lac car distance of 81, 1856 miles in a
year. The car is owned by John n.
Welsby, of Stevens Point. Wis.
The second prize of $500 was award
ed Frank Gray. of Chicago. driver of a
Peerless for Carl n. Gottfried, on a
mileage of ,4S3 miles.
livery, Springfield, Mass, and driven
by Alfred c. Smith, was awarded third
prize of $500 on 21.039 miles.
Among the fifty eight prize winners
of s25 and more there were nine Cadil-
lacs. showing an aggregate of 5,037
miles. or an averge Of 1904 miles.
One of the most interesting features
developed by the contest is that the
lighter weight cars do not show among
the highest mileage records. Only one
other car is included in the published
prize list nine times. with a total mile
age of 124.677 miles. and this is a
well-known representative of what are
generally regarded as the heavier
types. The second highest number of
prizes taken by any one make is five
another big car-with a total mileage
of 53,495.
For the year ended last March the
rubber company arranged for the dis
tribution of $4,000 prize money to
chauffeurs who could make sworn
statements as to tire mileage on its
particular make of tire. Another con-
test is on. to be decided at the end of
the current twelve months, with the
same amount for prize distribution.
