UNITED STATES ADOPTS KING s" FOR LIGHT MMORED CAR

With all the thoroughness that typi- fies investigations of the government before it's adoption of any piece of ma chinery for governmental use, num- Der of motor cars were subjected to all manners of tests at Fort Meyer, Va. These tests were made to determine which car was best suited for use as light armored motor cars in the United States marine corps.
 A stock King "S' chassis, on which had been mounted light armored car body, manufactured by the Armor Mo- tor Car company of Detroit went through all the tests, with almost d perfect score. and it's performances were so far ahead of other competitive cars that the King .S" chassis was the only chassis to be adopted by the United States government for this work. The King "S" carried its load with comparative ease and made sus- tained speed of 45 miles an hour. which was according to the government re- quirements. The tests through which

 It was to let the public know the truth about gasoline mileage that we put the Dort to the test and when Jerry Woodill started out accompanied by W. T. Stipe, A. A. A. observer, he knew the car under him. was just a plain every day Dort such as hundreds of other owners are driving around town--a car that had already traveled 4000 miles The truth was also known to Billy Fitzgerald and Observer James Whyte who brought the car back from San Francisco and w. B. Felix, an ar dent Dort booster and owner with Ob- server w. L. Harms knew it too. So with keen rivalry existing among the drivers just as among the owners the Dort had to do her best and except for two broken gasoline line connections that caused loss of several gallons to both Woodill and Fitzgerald, they would have pushed Felix harder for the honors of highest mileage and lowest fuel consumption.
 Better than the worlds economy record is the proof of the perfect cool ing of the Dort-only 3l quarts of wa ttl W dit uoNN III opitt VI tii'1 'fsNeii@'N heat and steady grind over mountain grades and desert sand.
 We are well satisfied with the re- suits and are glad we had the A. A. A. to certify to the authenticity of the figures. This is the one organization that cansbe relied upon to award only such laurels as are justly and fairly earned. You never hear of any of these so o-called long mileage per gallon Of gasoline tests being certified to by them nor do you hear of any economy records being established where the mileage runs up into the thousands, made under the A. A. \. sanction, be cause such runs have been unofficial and there is a possibility of seriour errors in checking up the fuel cnn- sumption.
 The world record made by the Dort is a reasonable record one that the public can read of with some degree of credulity, and the average is the same as our owners are getting, or as stated before the run started, some owners claim 25 miles per gallon while others complain of only IS and l9 miles There is a lot in the way car is driven. but if it is to be operated economically it must do so under tho worst conditions. and the Dort proved that il does operate at low expense on the hardest run ever made by q motor car under official supervision,
