LONGEST MILEAGE RECORD
MADE By "HYATT ROLLER"
Old White Buick Has Travelled 284,-
900 Miles Mostly on Good
wear Tires,

OF the many cars of old-fashioned
lines. modestly but steadily plugging
about our towns and cities. wearing
out tire after tire and speedometer
after speedometer. with nothing in
the steady hum of their motors to
indicate anything more than medioc-
rity of performance, the old white
Buick. now known as the Hyatt
Roller" owned by f. f. Slason, Plain
vile. Kan. holds the lonsest verified
mileage record reported to date.
The old war horse" which has now
piled up the phenomenal mileage of
264,000. mostly on Goodyear tires,
first came to light in a contest insti-
tuted to obtain data concerning the
farthest distance travelled on a single
set Of Hyatt bearings.
Since its Inauguration in 1909 IL has
been used for touring, as a service car,
for trucking and in livery service. 1t
has been driven by more than rs EN-
ployed drivers, as well as by the mem
bers Of the owners family. In fact,
for eight years this old timer has been
we'll known thruout its native state.
During this time ii Mas travelled u dis
tance equal to more than one hundred
transcontincntal trips from New York
to San Francisco.
with a load of nine hundred pounds;
on another one 347 miles were covered
in twelve hours and 32 minutes, from
Denver to Plainville. and from Colo
rado Springs to Plainville. about the
same distance, but over better roads,
in eleven hours and two minutes.
Many times 1t has been driven steadily
for "a hours. This is the car that won
the Hyatt contest for the greatest
mileage run on a single set of bear
ings.
And nearly all Of this remarkable
mileage has been piled up on Good
year tires, which helped nightly in
bringing the old car from its unde-
served obscurity into national re-
nown.
one would naturally suppose that a
car with such a remarkable record
would be retired from active service
to be exhibited as an old relic-but.
as IL II were not enough that thirty
years Of service have been crowded
into eight years. this old timer has
been asked to add twelve thousand
more miles to its record, the tour be-
ginning at Detroit, to run to the east
ern seaboard, thence to the Pacific,
and back to Detroit. This tour is now
ON its western lap and has enjoyed a
remarkable freedom from tire trouble.
Goodyear tires still equip the old
Buick. but instead of the fabric tires
which allowed it to register SO great
q portion OF Its mileage. the car now
bears Goodyear cord tires, which add
greatly to the riding comfort and
greater cushioning to the mechanism
Of the car.

FRANKLIN CAR WILL DEMONSTRATE HOW

On July IL. in two hundred points
thruout the United States, people will
have a chance to observe how far
Franklin cars will run on a single

Just to show the extensive part being

The great body of motorists Is alive
to the fact that there should be no
reason why automobiles should not
do their bit" in conserving national
resources. as well as the men and
women Of America. As an economic
factor in this country's life, the auto
mobile holds n position comparable
to the railroads; In fact, statistics
show that automobiles carry more
people than the railroads. 1t is only
natural then, that the striving for
efficiency should extend to such on
important cog in everyday life.

TRYING TO SECURE CAMP
Secretary Of War Receives Twin City
Delegation.

Washington, June 26.-Newton D.
Baker, secretary of war, granted a
hearing to the Twin City delegation
which came to Washington to land the
national army cantonment for Fort
Smelling in case Des Moines is re-
jected.
The delegation was informed that
the whole question is in the hands of
Major General Thomas H. Barry of the
Central department, who was at
Des Moines investigating complaints
against the transportation and SAM
tary facilities at Des Moines.
If he rules against Des Moines, Sec
rotary Baker said the whole subject
will be reopened.
He said the liquor question would
not be a material factor, as the army
bill gives the secretary of war full au
thority over that subject, and in addi-
ton congress is expected to enact
bone dry legislation for the period of
the war.

London. Aside from several sec

Mont Carnillet little fighting of mo-

front.
The French have retaken the great.
er part of the territory in the region
of Vauxaillon which the army of the
German crown prince captured in at.

heavy casualties.
In the region of Hurtebise and
Craonne the violent artillery duel con.

down an attempted infantry attack by
the Germans, the intensity of the fire
and the accuracy of the aim keeping
the men in their trenches. =
The operations of Sir Douglas
Haig's army in France and Belgium
have consisted entirely in putting
down attempted enemy raids and an
swering the fire of hostile guns.
The operations in Russia and Ca
licia still have not risen in importance
above patrol engagements and recon.
