EXPERT DRIVER
OFFERS ADVICE
On LONG TRIPS
BY Ray Mcnamara.
(Road Engineer, Maxwell Motor Coz

Some of the reasons why Ray Nc
Namara is qualified to advice motor
lists:
He has driven $4,000 miles since
1903-farther than any man in Amer
lea.
He has never had an accident.
Has never been arrested for speed
ing.
Has driven a car from ocean to
ocean IL times.
Hold worlds one-day touring record
of 500 miles.
The following story of great sea-
sonal interest to motorists. especially
those contemplating long trips, was
secured from the Maxwell factory at
the special request of r. d. Roper,
local Maxwell dealer.
The advice and directions given by
Ray Mcnamara IRE by a man that
knows every inch of territory be-
tween the Atlantic and the Pacific
While the starting point is New York
an San Francisco the terminus, the
figures quoted are equally applicable
on the trip going in reverse direction.
In comparing the costs of a trip
from New York to San Francisco by
rail with similar trip by automobile
believe it would be a fair estimate
to say that it would be 80 per cent
cheaper to travel by motor car.
Railroad fare including berths and
meals for four persons would amount
to about $3.50. The average expense
per person would approximate 1852. so.
These figures would apply to four men
going direct from coast to coast with
out stopping. A sample expense &C.
counnt follows;
Garage bills NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. 400
Hotel for four persons ........ 1880
Meals for four persons .... 207.00
Gasoline figured at 80 cents
BdIlOn ........... bIOU
Oil figured at ! gal. for every
wv mics ........-..-.....'.. 1850
Total cost for 20 days of tour
ing OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. $4,000
Average per person about $50. $4,000
IF a drummer had to make the
same schedule by rail it would cost
about this amount. By travelling di-
rect without stopovers the trip can
be made easily at 200 miles per day
in the summer time. This would re-
duce motoring costs on hotel, garage
and meals to a very small amount
But it is advisable to take your time.
It is always better to give the roads
chance to dry before starting unless
you are accustomed to driving over
wet dirt roads. This applies particu-
larly west of Chicago.
Before starting on a journey OF
this kind the car should be put in
faultless condition. This will elimi-
nate considerable trouble and will
make the driving easier. Take along
the right kinds Of tools as they may
come in handy in some out-of-the way
place. The Maxwell touring bureau
can furnish you with a list of the
proper equipment. One more precau-
| tion-drive carefully Never exceed
twenty-five miles per hour and it will
pay in the long run. 1t will keel
your tires out of the shop and you out
of jail.

coast and the season Of the year which
the trip is made has more to do with
the selection of the route than the
quality Of the roads along any par
ticular trail.
"The Sunset and Yellowstone trails
| through the northwest are good routes,
however, the heavy SHOWS on the Cas-
cade mountains renders Shoqualamie
Pass impossible until after June. This
handicap can be overcome by touring
via Walla Walla. Wash. from Spok-
ane through Pendleton. Oregon, then
along the Columbia River Highway
into Portland.
| THE FL Paso,, Yuma, and Santa Fe
trails are the most desirable winter
and spring routes inasmuch as they
cross the continental divide and
coast ranges at lower elevations. !
consider these routes the most inter-
esting as more Indian and Mexican
life is seen and more primitive meth
DDS of living prevail This is more
true of the Santa Fe trail than any
of the others.
1.-THE Lincoln highway or central
route is undoubtedly the most popular
and the more travelled trail of all, as
it follows a more densely populated
section of the country.
Starting from the Atlantic coast
there are three well-traveled routes
The New York and Boston routes come
together at Albany. then via Utica and
Syracuse to Buffalo. Another very
desirable route from New York goes
by way of Binghamton and Elmira
and joins the above route at Buffalo
then via Erie and Cleveland to Chi
cago The Lincoln Highway from
New York is in excellent shape. The
only poor roads are from Pittsburg II
Canton, Ohio.

will be more than double that for the
year 1919.
While their may be some minor
changes in seating arrangements, there
will be no so-called 1920 models.
This is in line with the Packard
policy of adhering to certain funda-
mental principles of engine and body
design.
The engine of the present Packard
twin six is practically identical with
the first one which was produced,
April, 1916.
This twin six motor is the one which
people have come to know as the fore
runner of the famous Liberty engine
in that it first indicated the twelve
cylinder w" type of construction.
Parallel with the five years success
of the Packard twin six engine run

broken most of the worlds important
speed records with a Packard twelve
cylinder motor (aviation TYPED. The
fastest car on earth, Packard 1906" is

RAILROAD NEWS
Promise to Stop Waste
of Railroad Ties

Rending, Sept. 2.-Wilson G. Sarig,
of Temple, member of the Legisla-

of a. Mitchell Palmer, United States
Attorney General, to the fact that old
railroad ties are again being burned
by the railroad companies in spite
of the fact that there is a shortage
of fuel. and that fuel is selling at
high price TO the consumers.
In reply Mr. Sarig received a letter
from Mr.. Palmer, stating he would
do all in his power to remedy the mat
ter.
Mr.. Palmer forwarded Representa-
tive Sarig's letter to Walter ID. Hines,
Director General of Railroads, and
urged that the matter be given
prompt attention. Mr.. Hines has an
swered Mr.. Palmer's letter by in
forming him that he had again called
the attention OF all the regional di-
rectors to the order of 1918, to stop
the wasteful practice.
