SAXON SKIES AVERAGE
. 23.5 MILES 70 GALLON
In 300 Mile Nom Stop Run, 206
Cars Go Through without
any HitCheS.

In 2O6 cities of the United States
saxon six" touring car last sat
urday began a nonstop run of 500
miles. ,.
ont some new support OF the economy
NJ operaticn of Saxon cars. AS fast
as the 500 miles were completed
the dealers telegraphcd to the fac
tory the results Of the run, paying
particular attention to the gasoline
consumption.
Reputation Of these results brought
out the fact that the average mileage
Of the 2O6 cars was 23,5 miles to the
gallon of GASOLINE record for fuel
economy in six-cylinder automo-
bile.
This nonstop run was not one linz
tied to the smooth streets and boule--
wards, 1t embraced all kinds OF
country roads. Each dealer selected
his own route and while an effort
was made to eliminate well nigh
impossible roads, many of the high
ways were not in the finest condition
for motor travel.
All in all 61,S00 miles were run
Saturday by Saxon Skies" and this
is a distance equal to nearly twenty
times that that between New York
and San Francisco. In every case
stock touring car was used for the
test and special fuel saving appli-
ances OF any kind were barred from
the contest.
While designed to determine final
ly the average gasoline consumption
Of the Saxon six" the nonstop run
also was a good natured race between
dealers for n record in gasoline mile
age for individual cars. The Saxon
Motor Car Corporation offered sill
yer loving cup for the dealer maxi
ing the highest mileage on gallon
of gasoline. This was won by the
Frye Motor Company, of St. Louis.
Mo. The average mileage for 800
miles made by this company's stock
car was 34.66 miles to the gallon,
Not one Of the 2O6 cars expert
enced any trouble In the contest.
Not one motor baked or even hist
tated during the run and no mechau-
ical troubles with any Of the cars
were reported. Every one of the
contestants wired that his car finish
ed in as good shape as ut the start.
AS there was no time limit to the
run and no attempt to set a speed
limit, several of the contestants took
occasion to make their cars perform
Service" deeds during the course
of the 300 miles. A number Of them
assisted other automobiles, encoun-
tered along the road, by pulling them
from bitches and mire. Even with
these added strains, the gasoline con-
sumption record stands out head and
shoulders above many other records
and the Saxon Motor Car Corporation
considers that in the run is final
proof of the low cost of driving
Saxon "Six."

this bill must become law before next
Saturday midnight"
The senate interstate commerce COM
mittee arranged its first public hear
ings on the measure today and allowed
three hours each for argument by
brotherhoods and railroads. The plan
was to present the finished draft to the
senate Saturday, ready for immediate
action
The house leaders set Friday after
noon as the time when they would take
the initiative if the senate had not act
ed and gave assurance that the house
would pass the measure then under
special rule. making it effective Nov. 1.
Eight Hours as Standard.
The measure contemplated would
establish eight hours as the standard
work day for railroad employees en-
gagged in interstate commerce; it
would authorize appointment by the
president of a commission to study
general conditions under the eight
hours and report it's recommendation
to congress, the president, and through
the president to the interstate COM
merce commission; pending the report
daily wages should not be reduced be
low the present pay Tor longer hours.
Other measures were under contem-
plation but the eight hour day and in
vestigation proposals were regarded as
the most effective pieces of emergency
Legislation.
The attitude of congress today, that
of determination to prevent the strike,
was exemplified by the resolution
pending in the senate, calling on broth
erhood officials 10 suspend the strike
order for one week; and the statement
of Senator Thomas. that if the govern
ment failed 10 protect the public in
such a crisis. ii had no right to call
itself a government.
President Summons Leaders.
While congress got down to work to-
day on President Wilson's legislative
program to prevent the railway strike
the president himself renewed his eff
forts to get the brotherhood leaders to
recall their strike order and at the
same time took steps to hurry congress
along He summoned the brotherhood
leaders to the White house for o'clock
and made arrangements to go TO the
capitol to confer with administration
leaders there.
Word was sent 10 the Interstate
commerce committee that the presi-
dent wanted to confer with senators
