Buy Trucks Early
For Scarcity Sure,
Says Eastern Expert

Order your motor trucks early
was the keynote Of an address dellv-
cred by s. Y. Norton, truck tire sales
manager Of the B. F. Goodrich Rubber
company to the truck owners confer
ence held in Chicago recently.
After showing how great the for
eign demand for American motor
trucks had added tremendous
impetus to the industry in the United
States during the past three years he
emphasized the fact that our own
governments entry into the war
would create a corresponding demand
for trucks and drivers

conditions tend to prove that the motor

NEWFUEL TEST

Cars Are Checked on Ton

Miles in Test.

The most ambitious fuel econOmt
test ever staged in this country has
been held in California and inasmuch
as what cars viii do on Pacific coast
roads, they will do likewise, presum-
ably elsewhere, the results should be
of more than passing interest TO
motorists generally.
The run was a strenuous one. from
Los Angeles. $40 miles to Camp Curry,
in the Yosemite valley. Fourteen cars,
each Of different make, participated.
In picking the winners. the weight of
the cars and their loads were taken
into consideration, the results being
computed in ton miles per gallons
L e.. the number of miles the car
might have covered theoretically. on
a gallon of fuel had its load been
exactly 1000 pounds. To arrive at this
figure the cars weight in tons was
multiplied by the total mileage and
the result divided by the number Of
gallons Of gasoline consumed The

SAXON IS TESTED FOR 300 MILES

Jays" said Mr.. Deason, for there are
usually exceptional circumstances
and il takes an all day drive to strike
real average Of what amount of fuel
a car viii consume IN average use.
4 personally drove the car the first
$50 miles. We went up and down the
valley between Anthony and Ysleta,
through the busy traffic in the city
streets and made several stops. Jack
Brace was my observer. At 9 o'clock
in the afternoon 4 turned the car over
TO A. H. Beckett. The Herald auto
editor. and he completed the run.
His observers were, at different times.
Bud Rutherford James Brown and
n B. Mcleod. Mr. Beckett drove the
car three times through the city. up
the valley as far as CanutillO and
down the valley twice as far as
Fabens.
At the end Of the run OF 500 miles.
the remaining gasoline was measured
and IL was found that the trip had
been made on u gallons and slightly
under one pint Of gasoline, or an
average Of 2A6 miles to a gallon. We
used regular Gulf commercial gasO-
line.
Il am satisfied that the test proves
the economy and efficiency of the
