BICYCLE DAYS HERE
 PLANNED FUR FALL

LOS ANGELES, June S.-Pacific coast states will be the scene of bi | cycle campaign activity under inc | United Cycle Trade Directorate west ern program for the coming summer. | Field Representative Charles Fuller | Gates has scheduled, subject to change | if warranted by local conditions, q list of dates for bicycle day ccle i brations in these states.
 In other contiguous southwestern | states bicycle activity will be post | poned until fall when climatic condi | tions will be more favorable. The annual Nevada bicycle day celebra tion will be held at Reno, at some suitable fall date, following the abate ment of desert midsummer heat, and re re-opening of the schools and uni versity.
 Bicycle days for Phoenix and Tue son, the two largest cities of Ari zona, are planned for the fall, when milder temperature will prevail, and the educational institutions again are filled with scholars, who are recog- nized as one of the best classes of bicycle prospects.
 Practically co-incident with the Arizona doings, MT. Gates has in mind a celebra ton for Albuquerque, to take the form of New Mexico bicycle | day This affair may be held in the winter when the climate of that sec ton is mast salubrious.
 During July and August Missionary Gates will invade Oregon and Wash ington, visiting the leading bicycle centers and staging road traces and parade on appropriate dates. North ern California also is scheduled for series of bicycle days in September, embracing Santa Rosa. Petaluma, Red 1 Bluff. Marysville and other live places of that section.
 Missionary Gates is covering the entire coast line of 1900 miles from San Diego to Seattle by motorcycle and sidecar. carrying all his para phernalia, including cameras, type writer and luggage. Gates is ayer- aging over 100 miles daily, doing most of hsi travelling during early morn and at night, and spendin the business hours in bicycle shops and newspaper offices.
 Many of the well-known bicycle road and track stars of last season have been taken in the draft, so that a new crop of future greats will come to the tape in the events of the coming season, according to Gates. With heavy inroads constantly being made on IHe Dicycie uedieTs, Tluele and prospects within the draft age, Gates asserts that bicycle publicity is more necessary than ever for those who remain behind and depend on the business for livelihood Excel lent results have been obtained, states Gates, from the big spring drive. now swinging into its stride on the coast. The billboard campaign, local display. coupled with the cele- brations, have stirred up big pub lie interest enthusiasm and sales.

In Class ?, which was the event for sidecars. the riders averaged from 50 10 90 miles per gallon, sev- cral riders obtaining better than 100 miles per gallon. Of course each sidecar carried a sidecar passenger and this made the records even more remarkable.
 The official records are not all in yet. but from reports to date the national conservation trials turned out to be the most successful com petitive event ever promoted in the history of the sport of motorcycling. It is to be an annual affair hereafter, the Federation of American Motor cyclists has announced. It is likely that some time this summer the winners in the 1918 trials promoted in different sections of the country will get together for one grand prize contest to be held in some important center. the result of this trial 0 be made official F.

MATTER OF WEIGHT DISCUSSED; MOTOR
 CARS BEST 0F ALL

Tn comparing the efficiency and economy of the automobile for passen- ger transportation with other carriers, the whole comparison rests on the matter of weight" says George E. Reubens of the Kissel Auto Co.
 Tt is weight that creates at least 15 per cent of the expense, because the greater the weight the more power necessary to move it.
 The average five passenger auto mobile, or, when loaded with five pas sengers, not over $500 pounds, even with the passengers weighing 200 pounds each. This gives a weight of only 700 pounds per passenger load for the power plant to move. When one considers the hills and hard-pull ing condition of the road as compared to the railways level road of steel rails. one would think that the auto- mobile would be the more expensive means of locomotion.
 Pullman Train Weights
 q understand our high class Pull man trains carry a weight per pas senger of 10000 pounds. Of course, on local trains with day coaches, the burden is smaller. between one and two tons per passenger seating capac- ity. These figures necessarily include ! the weight of locomotive, tender, bag gage car in fact. the weight of the entire train. On this basis, the auto mobile saves on each passenger the fuel necessary to move $500 pounds, providing the two carriers consume the i same amount of fuel per pound weight.
 Tt is evident that in both cases the | weight per passenger requires power in proportion to move it and power l vation, when the saving of fuel is such an important item. weight reduction, as worked out in the automobile, is ap- parently key to the solution that oul railroads vii lsome time have to con- sider."

ECONOMY RECORDS
 MADE IN GAS RUNS

The national motorcycle gasoline conservation trials held in all i'm portant motorcycle centers May and 5, resulted in a fine list of econ omy records being hung up. Several hundred riders averaged from 15 to 100 miles per gallon of gasoline in class l, which was open to three speed motorcycles without sidecars attached In this class at least two riders were able to get more than 150 miles per gallon. These rec ords are, of course. exceptional. but prove that the riders skill counted for more than anything else.
