Chief Engineer Bate has never lost
sight of the Importance of providing
comfort for the passengers and in the
new Mitchell Six he has gone even
further than in the first series. for he
has increased the length of the can't
lever springs in the rear two inches,
making them 81 inches long. This in
creased length of the springs makes
possible an increase two inches in the
wheelbase. which is now l27 inches. as

This charging OF the body has given
TO the car as a whole the appearance

that the weight has been held down a

HIGH MILEACES MADE
IN AJAX TIRE CONTEST
An Average of S,076 Miles Made
by 2OS Drivers During Year.

Practically every section of the coun-
try. from Maine TO California and from
Canada TO the Gulf. is represented
among the 2OS prize winners in the
third annual tire contest Of the Ajax
Rubber Company, Inc, the results Of
which have just been announced. Some
remarkable records for tire service
were brought 20 the attention of the
company through the contest, the aver
age of the 208 prize winning chauffeur'
being S,O76 miles. more than 800 miles
higher than the average OF last
year. The first thirty capital prize WIN
ners averaged l9,4ll miles.
But the remarkable feature Of the
contest was the showing made by he
first prize winner. George {. Mathis. a
New Haven chauffeur. who drives a
Cadillac for Mrs. J. ID. Jackson. He
made record Of 27.220 miles. or 5000
miles better than last years winner,
and won a prize Of $500. Charles Y.
Finfrock. who drives Pierce Arrow

THE results of the contest" says
Horace De Lisser. chairman of the Ajax
board "show that remarkable mileages
can be obtained when the driver takes
reasonable care of his tires. Careful
driving. maintenance OF proper air
pressure by the use Of the tire gauge
and attention TO minor cuts all con-
tributed TO the result"
