German and Danish soldiers on

on either side of the boundary line
fraternize and have jolly time drink
ing beer, according to Elof Jasperson,
who recently returned from visit to
Denmark.
Jasperson spent considerable time
along the frontier talking to German
and Danish soldiers. So as to say
he had been in Germany he set one
foot across the line upon German soil.
That is about as far as the soldiers
would let him go, so he stood for a
moment with one foot in Germany
and one in Denmark.
German soldiers on the border told
him, he said, that people in Berlin
are starving to death. He said that
they admitted that the food scarcity in
Berlin and the interior cities had
reached an acute and alarming stage.

these troops are kept on the German
border to guard the frontier against
any possible attack by Germany. At
the same time the Germans have large
bodies of troops on their side, guard
ing against a possible entry into the
war by Denmark. 1t makes peculiar
situation. Thousands of troops guard
the line day after day, pacing back
and forth. The Danish and German
soldiers get along fine, though. They
step across the line whenever they
feel like it and chat with one another.

Saxon Economy Run
Sets New Fuel Record

Averaging 25.9 miles to the gallon
of gasoline in 800 miles of travel, 234
Saxon dealers in as many cities of
the nited States and Canada set a
new economy record for Saxon six"
last week.
The third annual economy run for
Saxon dealers brought forward this
new fuel record which once more
proves beyond any question the low
cost of operation of Saxon six" mo-
torcars under every road and weather
condition.
From the torrid wastes of Texas
and Arizona to the snappy summer
climate of northern Canada, dealers
in every city of size and many smaller
communities drove a stock Saxon
six" over a 300-mile course in their
immediate territory. Checked by
disinterested observer. the dealers
were required to keep an accurate
record of consumption and the aver
age of all of their results establishes
new mark for Saxon operating ex-
pense.
Unlike the test of last year, which
was nonstop, the dealers were per-
mitted to stop at will, the idea being
to approximate as nearly as possible
the average driving conditions which
daily confront individual automobile
owners. Every road condition that
possibly could be encountered by mo-
torists was met some place in the
country by one of the entrants in the
test. The muddy country highway,
sand roads and smooth pavements ali
were found and the average takes
into account these factors.
The run was not a measured gall
Ion" affairs, conducted with a high
test gasoline. Every entrant used the
same quality of gasoline that is used
daily by every motorist in his par
ticular territory and the amount or
fuel used was determined by measur
ing the gasoline in the tank at the
start and the amount left at the finish,
In great many cases, the entrants
started with whatever gasoline hap
pened to be in the car and filled up at
some-station along the way.
There were number of entrants in
the test whose gasoline consumption
was less per mile than the average
and there were those who took great
er amounts. Generally. however. the
fuel cost was quiet close to the aver
age.
Last years average of 23.5 miles to
| the gallon set a record for economy
that has no superior among six-cylin-
| der cars. That run demonstrated
concluslvely to thousands of motorists
the advantages offered by Saxon six"
| in low operating costs. The run this
year substantiates that and more
for it proves that ordinary driving.

can be done in a Saxon at a cost far
