Cdlifornions Get The
Best Mileage On Tires
and Gas; Good Roads Pay

The Haynes Automobile company has
just finished an inquiry into the per-
Torrance OF 5000 Haynes motor cars
now in the service OF owners. Figures
were requested on the mileage of gas
oline, oil and tires, and on repair ex-
pense.
An average OF the figures collected
under greatly varying conditions
showed that the motor cars which re-
sponded to the investigation were OBJ
tanning 2 mileage OF more than Is
miles 10 the gallon OF gasoline and
over 200 miles TO 10 quart Of oil While
these figures are above the mean for
six cylinder cars Of the medium price
class, they were less striking than the
data received on tire mileage. It was
found that the 5000 motor cars were
averaging $3.50 miles TO the set OF tires.
When the figures the investigation
brought were tabulated according to
geographical districts. a variation was
shown that was almost in accordance
with road conditions. Fuel. oil and
tire mileages we're greater in Califor-
MIA than in any other part OF the
United States on account Of the well
built and extended highway system. In
the Dakotas. Minnesota and many Of
the states below the Mason and Dixon
line, the reverse situation was en-
countered. The mileage and mainten-

The remainder of the personnel was
officially announced as listed in ear

The fact that such men as Root and

views on all matters, governmental and

and comment today as would be caused

said, "need no discussion. His Oft
expressed views pertaining to govern
mental and economic matters are. as
well known. His "great grasp Of m
ternational matters,' it was emphasiz

Russell and Duncan are considered
as eminently fitted as representatives
of the socialist and labor class. Both
are expected to give to Russian leaders
Just what they will have to have in
the line of advice on labor and indus
trial problems. 1t is because the social

that Russell was chosen.
Charles r. Crane is well acquainted
