magazines for the fund for Fairgrounds
and other social activities being raised
by children in the public schools Of the
District yesterday reached one of the
highest totals made in a single day in
the last few weeks-12,072 pounds.
The list of schools from which COL
lections were made yesterday was not
the same as the list Of the preceding
week, being increased by several build
ings. The total collection was approxi-
mately 5000 pounds more. This, say
those in charge of the collections,

that the question of the sale and manu-

CHE EvROLET IN
 HIGH GEAR RUN
 NEARLY VICTOR

Mr. Brown, manager of the Brown Dryer Auto company, handling the Chevrolet car tells of one of the most remarkable high gear runs ever made being that of the Chevrolet ''Sierran' over the Mt. Diablo toll road last week Accompanied by two passengers, H. T. Kuhlman drove the little Chevrolet half way up the last pitch of the steep mountain road, locked and sealed in high
 No car has ever topped the summit of Mt. Diablo in high and it will be some time before one ever will. The last 100 yards of the road just at the summit has stalled all, including six, eight and twelve cylinder cars. There are two cups offered for the Diablo climb and three machines have won and lost the cups on the last leg of the run.
 Kuhiman Grove the Chevrolet to within a few inches of the mark on the hill made by the last cup winner and he claims that on his next run up the mountain he will win the cup. kuhlmann had only been over the road once before, having gone over the route with Owen R. Bird to learn it's curves before making the high gear run for the record.
 As he did not carry four passengers and had removed the top, Kuhlmann's record did not count for the cup com petition but on his next run he will carry the necessary number of pass engers and comply with the rules laid down for the. cup competition.
 Another Chevrolet driver out for the bacon is Gene Hayes of Stockton, Cal. He is out with a challenge. Hayes offers to take any automobile driver in California for a run over Dry Creek hill. near Empire Calif
 Hayes claims all records on the steep 23 l3 per cent grade. With one passenger he drove over in high at the wheel of little Chevrolet 'rour- Ninety" model. He made the hill with five passengers in second gear and took eleven passengers over the s|nmit in low.
 The difficult road emerges from a creek bed and stGNts up the grade. There is a sharp turl in the climb and near the summit there is a stretch of loose dirt where the cars cannot get traction, making high gear runs espe- cially difficult.

NEW EXHIBIT OF. SMITH FORM-A-
 MOTOR TRUCKS

''The most attractive and best plan ned show room in the middle vest is the phrase applied by automobile edit ors to designate the new display roons of the Smith Motor Truck corporations retail sales branch. Located on the first floor of the Smith Form a Truck building, Michigan boulevard at Six teenth street, Chicago, the large sales room was opened to the public on June 26, and "open house. will continue throughout the year.
 A well balanced exhibit of types of trucks turned out by the Chicago branch is ready for inspection of visit ors at all times, and citizens of Phoe niN when in Chicago are invited to take in the display during their tour of the city, according to R. C. Greth, local agent for the Smith corporation.
 One of the most original features of the show room is the arrangement of indirect cluster lights about the mas sive pillars. When the latter are il lumined they appear almost translu cent, while the huge room is so well lighted as to be even more attractive than in the daytime. This effect is at tained without the usual glare which accompanies ordinary direct illumina tion.
 On the route of Chicago's heaviest automobile traffic, the city sales room of the Smith Form a Truck is daily viewed by thousands, and is considered one of the show places on motor row.
 Word also comes to MT. Greth that through unique recruiting methods and ability to attract attention of the public to the needs of the U. S. am- bulance corps, the auxiliary recruiting station which is located in the Smith Form Truck building, Chicago is enlisting more than a score of young men daily, a contingent of 40 being

 Without exception these questions are answered in the affirmative. 1t is maintained that with the door win dows lowered and ventilation from tne front, there is ample circulation of air while the solid roof is better protection rom the hot sun than any fabric top could possibly be.
 As to their ability to view all that is worth while in touring, sixty per cent Of the correspondents declare that they have taken trips into the country and could easily observe and enjoy to the fullest the points of scenic interest en route. One party which had just returned from three hun

 From these experiences it is easy to understand the marvellous increase in the demand for closed cars during the last few years. It is the real utility type, indispensable in winter if one intends to drive at all, while in sum mer it appears to fill every require ment, while actually offering adVan- tages over the other car.
 Those buying closed cars now-and there are many of them-show fore sight. They will be content with one in the immediate months and won't have to garage it or buy another car when winter comes. In the late au- tumn-a beautiful time for touring they can enjoy long trips without risk ing the danger of exposure to the chill and storms of the changing season"

INVESTIGATION SHOWS CLOsED
 GAR POPULAR FOR SUMMER USE

An investigation conducted by the Dort Motor Car company is developing an interesting and significant situation with reference to the summer use of closed cars.
 It shows, if the returns from several leading points may be accepted as in dicating a general average, that more than ninety per cent of Dort Sedans and Sedanets purchased last fall and winter have been in constant service With but two exceptions, the owners declare that they prefer a closed car to an open car in warm weather.
 The owners are very free with their reasons. The superior cleanliness of the closed car, the freedom from dust, the possibility of wearing good clothes without damage, the pleasure of reach ing destination in presentable condi- ton and greater privacy are some of the arguments advanced

 The freedom of the Marmon 34 dis quletlng noises is an outstarding Iea- ture Of it's unusual design, says M. O. O'Neill, local representative for the Marmon people. The elimination of many parts by the scientific design Of the Marmon does away with useless supports and Joints, which are the greatest causes of rattles and squeaks.
 The body bolts directly to the frame so that intervening sills are done away with. The steel running boards are riveted to the frame, abolishing hang CTS. side shields and extra lenders. The aluminium lenders bolt to the frame and running boards, and there are no fender irons. It is this method of construction that keeps the Mar mon free from noises.
 Great braking capacity is a feature of design in the light weight Marmon 34 that insures safety of operation. The Marmon brake drum is half the dia- meter of the rear wheel, and the two sets of brakes provide ten square inches of .braking surface for every hundred pounds of weight in the car. an extraordinary brake capacity. But this is of interest not merely because of the added safety it gives but be- cause it is of such great help in hand ling the car, especially in crowded traffic.
