25 Miles to the Gallon.

Seattle, Wash.-Twenty-fiye and a
fifth miles to the gallon OF gasoline
as an average result of series OF
three tests!
Such is the phenomenal fuel econ
omv record established for siX-cylln-
der cars in western Washington by
a Buick light six touring car, driven
by George Purdy and carrying four
passengers.
James G. Fenton, city sales man
ager and y George Purdy, travellng
representative of the Buick distrio-
uting agency, equipped one OF the
five-passenger Buick six touring cars
with a special gallon can, and, ac-
companied by two newspaper men,
niIoted the car over the Pacific high
way from Seattle to Tacoma and re-
turn on March II.
short distance beyond the Au-
hurn crossing on the Pacific highway
the engine sputtered and went on a
hunger strike. The odometer read

Continuing over the paved high
way, the Buick whizzed into Tacoma
purred its way through the trafnc
in Pacific avenue, then back over the
same thoroughfare to begin the re-
turn trip over the Pacific highway
again. A stop of a few minutes was
made in Tacoma for lunch.

from their motors and put in fresh
supplies every five hundred to one
thousand miles. says an expert.
1t is a fact to be counted on, that
the gasoline sold today for motor
fuel will inevitably get into the oil
supply, and the resultant mixture is
of low viscosity with poor lubricating
properties. The unvolatilized gasoline
which is sucked into the cylinders
on starting cool motor, is the most
common cause by which motor lu-
bricants are diluted below the point
of effectiveness.
The raw gasoline gradually cuts
the lubricating oil and works past the
pistons and piston rings down into
the oil reservoir at the base of the
motor The oil, thinned by gasoline,
is unable to form viscous film on
friction surfaces which the oiling sys,
TEN reaches. The greatest danger
from dilute oil and incidentally the
motor injury that is the most serious
in its effects, is scoring the cylin'
ders and pistons, although the con-
sequences of this injury have lately
been lessened by the installation OF
aluminium pistons

and then flushed with kerosene, which
will remove any dirt and accumula'
ton of grease. If clean, fresh oil is
placed in the reservoir at regular in
intervals and carefully watched for
the amount of gasoline that mixes
with it, the motor will be practically
free from the dangers that attach
themselves to poor fabrication.

Leipzig authority on Persia and the
Persians.
DR.. Zahn quoted with approval from
consular report made by the Am

which it is declared that the Ameri-

themselves to granting longtime cred
its, and that business cannot be
properly done by correspondence. but
must be looked after by personal rep
resentatives.
DR.. Zahn found a feeling among
the Persians, he said, that the Am

customs and sensibilities of the peo-
pie. This was particularly true, he
declared, as to Americans methods of

DR.. Zahn declared, is looked upon
by the average Persian as denoting
personal distrust of his honesty. Nor
must the Persian be hurried. Time is
not money in the American sense of
hustle.

MAXWELL GETS
MUNICH Al ORDER
LOW FUEL CONSUMPTION WAS
BIG FACTOR IN SECURING AN
ORDER FOR TWENTY SEVEN
AUTOMOBILES.

The Maxwell Motor company closed
a contract last week with the munich
pal government of Kansas City for
twenty-seven new motor cars. The
order was placed by William C.
Weaver, purchasing agent for Kan
sas City, after he had MADE an in
vestigation extending over a field of
cars of various makes. He found
the Maxwell best adapted to the
needs of the eXacting municipal SER
vice, because of its durability, its
dependablity, and its great economy
in operation.
Another factor that entered into
the closing of the contract was the
prompt delivery guaranteed by the
Maxwell company A promise was
ed over in three days, and this prom
ise was fulfilled to the letter.
Some Commercial Bodies.
In the consignment are twenty-one
runabouts and a touring car, the
remainder being chassis for special
commercial bodies.
The growing popularity of the Max
well chassis in the commercial field
was another element that entered
into the transaction. These chassis
are delivered all ready for the tops
to be fitted on. There is no extra
wiring or adjusting to be done. The
tops may be made according to the
specifications and requirements of
the owner. Many merchants are
finding this a most convenient meth
cd of purchasing cars for delivery
purposes.
Knows Maxwell Economy.
Last year, Kansas City used
number of motor cars of a make other
than Maxwell in its municipal ser
vice. For several months, Mr.. Wea-
yer, the city's purchasing agent, has
been keeping a close tab on gasoline
consumption and he knows good
deal of what the Maxwell can accom-
plish along this very important line
He wisely concluded that the use
of Maxwell cars for the city service
would cut down the municipal gaso-
line bill to an appreciable degree

Production and
rice

Do the great variety Of Skies and the fuc-
tuating prices seem confusing and perplexing?
Let's reason it out.
What controls price? Production
AS a manufacturers production increases, his
production cost, per car, decreases.
Therefore the plant with the largest production
is in position to give of everything and charge
less for it.
We are the worlds largest producers of Six and
Four Cylinder Automobiles.
Consequently you get in the Overland Six
larger and more powerful motor longer wheel
basethe convenience of electric control buttons
the steering column and almost endless list of
other comforts and refinements
yet what is the price?
Not $1,000 or $500 but $1145.
And when it comes to a Six Cylinder perform
ance, remember the Overland Six is the star of
them ALL +

 TO SUPPLY MILK BY AUTO TRUCKS

Boston, Aug. 31-Motor car owners will participate actively in bringing milk and other supplies into this city if the railroads are tied up by strike. The Bay State Automobile Association has appointed a commit tee to find how many motor trucks are available for such service and it's members have agreed to supplement these with their pleasure cars if neces- sary. They will also assist in bring ing commuters into the city.
 Preparations to meet a. strike were continued by the New England rail- roads today. President Edward c. Smith, of the Central Vermont Rail- way, which is controlled by the Grand Trunk Railway, has notified the As sociation of Railroad Presidents that in case of a strike his road will treat with his men independently. It is un- derstood that the Central Vermont trainmen have not voted to strike.
 The fact that the Boston & Maine porary receiver has caused speculation as to whether this would have any bearing on a strike on it's lines. Law yers familiar with court decisions in similar instances were generally of the opinion that a strike would be permissible, but that any active inter- ference with attempts by the road to operate it's trains would constitute contempt of court.

Church Friendship
 Society Progresses

London. Aug. 31.-The alliance for Promoting International Friendship Through the Churches, which had it's conception in the minds of some of the members of the Church Peace Union, is making slow but steady progress in the work of setting up its machinery. The countries thus far included in its membership now number nine: viz, Great Britain, Italy, France, Switzer- land, Holland, Norway, Sweden, Dem mark and the United States.
 Owing to the extremely delicate na- ture of the work of organization amid the jealousies and hatreds engendered between some of the Continental na- tions by the war, none of the officials in the work can be quoted for fear of discounting his effectiveness in pass ing from one belligerent country to an other.
