stopped once by a break in the gas line. This occurred after the motor had run continuously for five days and six hours, and happened on a muddy country road at night, where no help was available. About six hours was lost repairing the gasoline leak and then the car resumed it's run beat ing all recorded seven-day mileage rec ords using only high gear.
 The nonstop record was perfect up to the time of the "gas" line break. The course covered radius of so miles around Harrisburg. Running conGi- tions were difficult. including trafIir; obstacles, rough clay roads and hills, and showers the first night out, Sun day, May 4, with continuous heavy rains Thursday and Friday. The test was staged by the Overland Harrls- burg company, distributors of Willys- Knight and Overland cars.
 Tires were not changed and are es- timated to be good for 4000 more miles
 A perfect score for seven days and nights means that no trouble of any kind occurred, for it was tnot alone McKone company were trying. The run checked itself every three and three-quarter hours, approximately and all throughout the seven days and nights the little model left it's station on the dot of the hour.

HYATT BEARINGS
 ARE ESSENTIAL Dependability Is Assured Whenever They Are
 Adopted

An automotive organization, whether manufacturers, distributors or dealers. should be like unto a motor car, truck or tractor; despite being made up of many parts, or many hundred parts, it should have as it's leading feature unity, sometimes also termed harmony of movement, according to B. c. Koether, manager, Hyatt Roller Bearing company, Detroit.
 Writing in his Hyatt magazine, The ,uieterion, MT Koether says: "Withou. nity in the organization, without work ng together and for the same end tht 5ork of each becomes nothing but unor
 anized effort. We become just so many individuals struggling and straining and Ill pulling against one another.
 search out what destroys unity in he organization, and in the department Perhaps it is one who is unfitted for the work which he is doing. Possibly that young draftsman, who so laboriously works to make the lines of his drawing meet with required nicety and precise ness, is at heart an artist and would be better at work in the advertising de- 3artneft. Possibly that young chap in the accountants office, who is now a bit of a laggard, would be better a work in the sales department It is for you to be an author, who, striving for unity. does not throw away the thought, but rather places it here and there, until it adds it's proper value and strength to the whole.
 "A few days ago a friend of mine dropped in to see me. He is the mana ger of a big department of a big auto- mobile business, but the department hasn't always been a big department. The management many times thought the department was not worth while and considered closing it out, and during these years there had been many sales managers and many sales methods, but always the departments account hung around the old mark.
 Finally my friends was placed in charge, to either make the department pay or close it cut. My friend was young, but he was a man who appre- ciated that first of all he must have unity in his organization. Sales policies and plans were details which could easily wait upon unity, everybody working for the same end.
