Chandler Six Makes
New Economy Record

26.03 miles on one carefully meas
ured gallon of gasoline from a special
one-gallon tank is a new record for
economy recently made by a seven
passenger Chandler stock touring
model, which has been run 5000 miles
Starting at the Rochester city linn
Its. the Chandler was put over the
road to Canandaigua, New York, with
Barney Crane at the wheel and ac-
companied by R. H. Houston. of Chi
eago, an engineer of the Rayfeld Car
ouretor company.
The car came to a stop as the gas
ran out just mile west of Canandai-
qua. 1t was estimated that it could
have been run on into this town had
1t not been for q bad detour with
soft dirt road which proved a big gas
consumer.
1t is not an unheard of thing for
certain very light cars to get as great
mileage out of their gasoline as this,
but for big six-cylinder seven-pas-
senger machine which has been run
5000 miles to show such light fuel
consumption is regarded as sensation
al by the entire automobile engineer
ing fraternity.
We averaged on the whole trip
from 25 to 81 and 30 miles an hour"
said Mr.. Houston in speaking of the
Chandler's low gas consumption.
Slowing down to five miles an hour
with two inspection trips along the
road and hitting it up to 81 miles an
hour lust to demonstrate the gas con-
sumption under pressure

Retail Auto Business

the opinion of ]. r. w. Hunter, of the
Overland-Harrisburg company.
Practically every city of any size
can boast of it's automobile row and
more often than not its location is in
that part of town where real estate
values are the highest and where
trade is the best. This in itself is evil
dence of the automobile dealers prosl
perity.
The competition in selling automo-
biles is much keener than II was a few
wears ago. In the early DAYS of the
industry motorcar dealers were few
and far between. 1t was not uncom-
mon for half dozen men to contract
for the entire output of a factory.

WINS RACE AND $4,000
BUT GOES BACK TO WORK

When John Aitken captured the op-
ening event on the Cincinnati Speed
way, outdistancing all competitors in
the 300-mile contest. one might over
look his knocking off" for a while
to rest and calm down from the ex-
citement, especially when he also won
such neat bank account as thirteen
thousand dollars. But Aitken is i'm
mune to the thrills of racing, having
been in il up to his ears for many
years. After the race he Immediately
caught a train for Indianapolis and
next morning was back at the Ma
tional factories. He is considered one
of the best men in the automobile in
dustry in experimental departments,
and fills such a position at Indian
apolis with the company building Ma
tional Highway Skies and Twelves.
His long racing career has been an
unusually good opportunity to study
and test motor-mechanisms and has
qualified him as an expert to trans
late what the race track teaches into
service for cars of private owners. His
work in an experimental lane and in
testing, was largely responsible for
the early developments of the Nation
al Twelve-cylinder engine two years
ago.
Again on Saturday of the same
week Aitken took down $4,000 for
three straight firsts on the Indian
apolis Speedway, making a total of
s17,6O0 for one weeks work. AS after

Willis VIII Have Charge
of Metz in PENNSYLVANIA

w. B. Willis. well known in local
automobile circles, has been made
manager of Metz sales in Pennsyl-
vania, with headquarters in Phiia-
delphia. This announcement was
made last week by Director of Sales
the Waltham, Mass, factory of the
company
The call for Metz cars has been so
great in this State during the past
few months. that it was only with the
utmost effort that it could be supplied
With the high cost of gasoline, motor
lists turned to the economical Metz car
in increasing numbers and the de-
mand is still growing.
Mr.. Willis will have complete charge
of the dealers in Pennsylvania and
will take special pains to see that
their patrons get prompt delivery on
Metz models. The cars will be ship
ped to Philadelphia in large lots and
distributed from there.
In conjunction with the new plan
of distribution. the company announc-
es the opening of four Metz service
stations in Philadelphia. This insures
Metz owners of q high standard of
service.
1T was found that the Metz COM
pany can better serve the public
through subdealers. than through
branch" declared Mr.. Willis yester-
day. by having Pennsylvania
headquarters we shall be in a posi-
ton to come in closer contact with
Metz owners and render them that su-
perior service that is the policy of the
Metz company"
THE desire for extreme fiexibility,
smoothness of motion. great endur-
ance, lowest cost of operation and
beauty of coach work that motorcar
buyers are now demanding, has Gre
ated a desire for the Metz that re-
quires full time at the factory to fill.
The fact that Metz stands alone
among automobiles with a gearless
transmission is a most important fac
tor in its popularity

The result was that after the deal

that 1t would take weeks or months to
secure a new part from the factory.
To-day, the whole system of selling
motorcars is changed. The successful

Villa Unwounded, Is 60 Miles
Ahead

Ahead
:. Ell Paso, Texas, April 3.-Fran-
cisco Villa, unwounded and ac-
companied by only eight men,
was at Satevo, so miles south of
Chihuahua City, two days ago,
according to information today
from Mexican sources usually
reliable.
If this information is correct,
it bears out previous reports that
the bandit chief is headed toward
Parral and is leading his Ameri.
can pursuers by at least 60 miles.
The nearest to Satevo American
troops are known to have reach
ed is San Antonio, 60 miles
northwest.
The route said to have been
taken by Villa, one with which
he is thoroughly familiar, is
known among the poems as
"Pancho's road" From Guerrero
it leads into broad valley
which runs east to San Andes,
Villas old headquarters, thence
south to Santa Ysabel, the scene
of Villas massacre of Is Ameri-
can mining men and then south
east through Satevo to Parral.
The man who brought the story
of Villas arrival at Satevo here
gave a circvmstantial account of
the bandits maneuvers and plan
of campaign. His credibility is
vouched for by reputable Amer
ican business men here who
have employed him for several
years.
"Villa," he said, has never ta-
ken part in any fighting with
either American or Carranza
troops. He .left the main body
of his troops in the Guerrero dis
trict with orders to oppose as far
as they could the American ad-
vance. AT the same time the
poems were instructed to give
information freely to American
officers, always providing the
information was false.
