NEW METHODS OF
 MOTOR CAR TESTS
WiIIys-Overland Makes a TranscOntinental Trip of
 Extreme Difficulty

The wil1ys- overland company of To- ledo has this season introduced new methods for testing automobiles which are a direct development of war expe- rience.
 Realizing that the modern motor car must successfully meet the most extreme riding conditions, the Willys Dverland company planned and carried out the idea of subjecting the new lightweight car the company has been developing for two years, and which, it is under stood, will soon be on the market to tests which would parallel the rough and ready use motor cars in the war zone daily received.
 For these tests unusual breaking ma- chimes have been rigged up and used in the factory, and the cars have then been sent into rough, untraveled country for most gruellng road performance.
 Tn the preliminary tests the new Over land car showed stamina and riding quail fties so remarkable that the car was selected as the official scout car in the first transcontinental test trip of the United States motor transport corps, which -arted at Washington, D. C., on July T, and is expected to arrive about September in San Francisco. The route being followed by the~ motor transport corps is that of the Lincoln highway.
 This transcontinental trip has been undertaken to establish and demonstrate the possibilities of the motor vehicle as a factor in coast to- coast transporta- ton. It is to serve as a supreme test Of the utility and dependability of the mod err motor vehicle.
 With the army trucks participating in this convoy are three of the new light Overland cars, which will be put on the market this season by the Willys-O Over land company The cars on this tour, ac- cording to report, are making a record for comfortable riding qualities, road ability and all-around utility.
 The Overland company makes no dis closure as to price of date of the public announcement of the new car, except to say the car will be moderate in price and will soon be delivered to dealers.

and burned instantaneously this could not be done. for the motor would knock or run backward. But compared 70 the operation of the motor, the burning is slow and must be started before the piston reaches the top ot .tS upward stroke Thus by the time the piston be- gins it's downward journey the full force of the expanding gas is being utilized.
 The excellent perforeance in the de- velopment of power of tire Allen motor is due to the care taken to utilize the heat generated from every drop of fuel. As a result the motor develops more power than that at which. it is really rated according to it's size

 Many other Mormons, d1sneartened by their reversals, have begun life anew in the United States Appeals have been made to the Mexican government by the Mormons without result. Recently the American state department asked the

say that the motor is operated by ex- plosions in the cylinders of their car.
 Tt is strange that such a common un- derstanding could be so far from the real condition. In reality there is nothing re- sembling an explosion, but instead a burning of gasoline vapor Gas vapor upon being heated expands many times it's own volume. Thus every engine is really a heat engine and derives it's power from converting the fuel vapor into heat When the gas is quickly burned a tremendous force is exerted which results in the impulses upon the pistons of the motor
 "The reason for advancing the spark is to hasten the ignition of the gas vapor in the cylinders. If the gas exploded
