ing Parts.

Remarkable automobile perform
ances are not as frequent these
days as they were four or five sea-
sons ago; the American automobile
manufacturer has attained so very
high standard of product. That
may explain why so much unusual
attention has been attracted dur
ing the last few days to new
worlds performance record made
by an Overland stock car, Model
New from the factory, this Model
90 was taken from the salesrooms
of the Carhart Motor Company at
Oklahoma City, Okla, on March
29th, and driven to the lobby of
the Lee-Huckins Hotel. There the
gear shift lever was disconnected
from the low, middle and reverse
gears, and the gear-box was seal
ed in high. The motor was start
ed; the car left the hotel and did
not return for seven days; that
was April 9Th.
The Overland 90, driven by a re-
lay of four drivers, ran night and
day, the motor never stopping for
1913 continuous hours. The drivers
had no advantage of gear shifting
during the two days Of rain on
muddy roads and the twelve to fif-
teen hours they spent eacl. "a hour
day on good and bad city pavements,
in the rush of traffic, and on the
Oklahoma roads. 1t has been said
that if motor car will stand up
on an Oklahoma road, it will endure
in any other section of the world.
In these seven days and nights.
during which the gear could not 1e
shifted from high, nor the motor
stopped for carburetor adjustment
or spark plug change, the Model 80
broke the worlds record for a test
of this kind. The speedometer, care
fully checked. showed that it had
Travelled 4,370.1 miles. That is prac-
tically one-sixth around the world,
or a distance equal to a trip from
New York to Los Angeles and back
across the southern trial to Oklaho-
ma City.
This remarkable nonstop perfor-
nance in high gear exceeded the
next best record ever made by 1901
miles.
Another unusual record was at
tanned by the four drivers Of this
Oklahoma car. The A. A. A. record
for a 24-hour nonstop, gear-sealcd-
in-high run is SGT miles. That mile
80 was made in Chicago, several

makes of cars competing. On only
one day of its run did the Overland
fail to exceed the official A. A. A.
record. That was the third day
an afternoon and night of rain with
muddy going under the axles. The
car then fell eight miles under the
mark, but its performance was SO
unusually high that it averaged
624.3 miles for each day of the 16e
hour run.
The motorist is interested in tests
of this kind only as they point him
to some feature of economy in oper-
alton and upkeep. The test made by
f. R. Carhart, Overland distributor
in Oklahoma, appears to be replete
with such features. The judges of
the contest were the president of
the Chamber of Commerce of that
city, and the managing editors of
the two leading daily newspapers.
Examination Of their records of the
Model 9O's record-breaking trip
show:

1. The car made a trip, exclusive
ly in high gear, through city traffic,
over country roads, with two days
of steady Oklahoma downpours to
contend with, at cost of one and
17/100 cents for gasoline and oil
for each of the 4,370.1 miles tray
eled.
2. Gasoline can be saved by prop
er shifting of gears under varying
traffic conditions. The Model 90's
record is declared to be unusually
good under the no gear-shift condi-
tions. Burning a SO test gasoline,
it averaged 2O.66 miles for each
gallon.
8. Only SIS gallons of oil were
needed. The oil cost S4.70.
4. Champion spark plugs were
used. None was changed nor adj
justed during the seven days con-
tinuous driving.

Birthday of Mrs. Ellen Young.
blood as Written for the
Greenwood Paper.

An occasion of many pleasantries,
was the birthday anniversary of Mrs.
Ellen Youngblood at. her home at
Blakedale, last Thursday, May 9Th.
This is superb suburban home, of
Greenwood and this excellent fam
lily, Mrs. Ellen Youngblood, her
daughters, Misses Bessie and Lellah,
also her son, Mr.. A. w. Youngulc od
and family live there. A smile of well
come from this lovable mother and
family awaited US all and everywhere
was CHEEKY with bowls of Paul Ney-
ron and American Beauty roses,
while tall vases held the fragrant
pink and white peonies sent by
friends of the sweet parent, grand
and great grand parent to be with
the loved ones who had met in the
home to celebrate this annual, and
much anticipated occasion.
The loved mother was just the
same dear self. She met the guests
and bade them "glad to see you"
And as the little tokens of love that
were handed her we could see that
usual smile play about her restful
face. All remembered her, and the
two sweet grandchildren, handsome
Master Herman and darling baby,
Mary, were not forgetful of her.
The noonhour brought tempting
repast. Two long tables arranged for
the picnic dinner, which made them
fairly groan to hold the great dishes
of ham, chicken, dressing, salads,
macaroni, rice, cakes in abundance
and many kinds, iced tea in abun-
dance. But in the center of the table
was the birthday cake, which was i'm
mense all in pink icing, and illumined
with 81 tapers of different. colors,
each taper to represent year of this
dear mothers years, who is we'll pre-
served, a highly cultured lady, as
modest as a lily, and just as erect as
can be. She wears her years with
Christian dignity and her faculties
are ever quick and entertaining.
AS conversationalist, Mrs. Young
blood is unexcelled, and she is not
forgetful to entertain strangers. Be-
fore leaving this hospitable home,
pictures were made Of the family.
The 4th generation first, which were
the children, Herman and Mary

Mr. and Mrs. j. R. Cheatham, Of Nc

dern, DR.. and Mrs. D. w. Young
blood, Mr.. and Mrs. A. W. Young
blood and Mr.. and Mrs. W. C. Hol-
lingsworth and of course the precious
mother was with them all.
