DRIVE 693 MILES IN LESS
THAN TWENTY-FIVE HOURS
Cadillac Eight Used by Two ANA
teurs in Run From Marion,
Ohio, to New York.

A little group Of motorists In Marion,
Ohio. was recently discussing the pos
sibtlfties Of q non-professional drive
from Marion to New York city. Lewis
H. CUTLERY made the statement that he
believed amateur drivers could make
the trip In twenty-four hours.
Then. to learn how close his estimate
had been. Mr.. CUTLERY and DR.. Carl II.
Sawyer started for New York the next
evening at O'clock, driving q seven
passenger Cadillac eight. They reached
Cadillac headquarters in New York tho
following evening at s:35. having COW
cred SIS miles In "a hours and S6
minutes.
The two men were the sole occupants
OF the car. They had neither chauffeur
nor mechanician, and during the entire
trip were not obliged to delay on the
road for so much as tire change. It
was necessary to cross three ranges Of
the Allegheny mountains, about one
third Of the trip was made In the DARK,
and q great part Of the journey was
made In rain. In spite Of these facts
the average speed was better than
twenty seven miles an hour, this time
including stops for gasoline. meals, etc.

USING ExCAvATED MATERIAL
Road Embankments Can Be Built
With Earth From Cuts.

Old narrow roads. winding around

travel. and a. q community served by
such roads grows It becomes necessary
b widen them. Local road offlcials are
sometimes reluctant to undertake such
work. because they fail to realize that
the material excavated in one place. to
remove sharp grades or to widen the
roadway SO that vehicles can pass each
other safely. can generally be used not
far away in building an embankment
which will improve the location there.
Probably no phase Of road improve
ment shows more clearly the value Of
engineering advice than this balancing
Of cuts and fills. In Warren county,
Miss, for instance. many miles Of old

been made twenty -four feet wide on
