UNIQUE TEST FOR
NEW 0VERLANDCAR

An unique test of efficiency has
been staged for the new Overland
Four. so long known as the Mystery
Car, before the public was admitted
into the confidence of its manufac-
turers. This test is to consist of an
endurance run on regular road con-
ditions, independent of weather or
any other handicap that interferes
with perfect scoring.
The test started Today at IL
o'clock from in front of the Harper
Overland headquarters, the home of
the Overland = Four, 112S-1130 Con-
necticut avenue. The plan is to cover
tories in four-hour shifts, changing
drivers on each shift.
The run will be continuous, twenty
four hours each day, until the COM
pletion of seven full days. During
this period at no time will the motor
be allowed to stop.
stock Car Used.
This is one of the first times that
a continuous run under ordinary road
conditions has been attempted in this
vicinity and naturally has aroused
considerable interest The car used
is an ordinary stock car and has not
been run more than 1 900 miles so far.
The number of drivers who will
take part in the run will be seven,
so that at every change of shifts
there is assurance of a fresh pilot.
The four-hour shift does not mean
that driver number one will leave
the car after the first four hours. He
will simply turn the wheel over to
the next driver and remain with him
f,,lI t~l .
hour trip. when the process will be
continued.
An exact record will be kept Of the
amotrnt of gasoline, oil and water con-
summed on each four-hour run and
will be reported in The Times each
day, not only for that day but for the
accumulated run.
VIII Take Passenger.
Washington is particularly favored
by having the run staged here as the
results will be published nationally
and it speaks we'll that the company
has selected the District for the test.
Those desiring to ride in the car
during any of the four-hour stages
mad do so by applying to the. head
quarters of the Harper-Overland Com
pany. 112S Connecticut avenue, and
arrangements will be made to ac-
commodate them in rotation. Three
passengers besides the driver can be
accommodated on each trip and the
Harper-Overladn people are very de-
'sirous that this invitation be taken
advantage OF. 1t is especially desired
that people with mechanical knowl-
edge of engines should accept.
One of the stunts to be pulled off
by the Overland Four in its efficiency
run will be the delivery of the reg
ular edition of tomorrow's Washing
ton Times to the Frederick and Rock
Vile newsdealers.

GOOD TIRES AID
USED CAR SALES

Just as a new hat, clean collar and
polished shoes will make a tramp APP
pear dressed UP. as the saying goes.
a new set of tires will work a re-
markable change both in the appear
ance and easy selling qualities of Sec
hand automobiles. according to one of
Akron's leading dealers in used cars.
"One hundred dollars worth of new
tires will enchance the selling value
of the used car at least $500" declared
the dealers while quality of the car
itself is obviously the main point of
interest in connection with the pur-
chase of a used automobile, unsatie-
factory appearance will frequently
overshadow the merits of the motor.
For example, that car standing
there came in here a week ago look
ing as IL 1t had been driven 10000 or
40, 1000 miles" said the dealer, pointing
to a clean looking and popular stand
ard make of car on which were four
new tires. AS a matter Of fact IL had
only been run about 5000 miles, but
it had been badly misused. There
were many scratches on the body, the
tenders were banged up and the
tires looked a fright
II TOOK the pest part OF couple
Of days to fix the body, straighten
out the tenders, etc. After which
had a good looking car. except for the
worn tires that indicated a much
longer mileage than the car had
actually run. Tires, you know, tell
mileage history much more convinc-,
ingIy than speedometers, because
spedometers can be changed.
Consequently, it became a question
Of new tires and put them on. Ex-
perience has taught me that even
more care should be taken in the tire
equipment Of secondhand care than
in the equipment of brand new auto
mobiles. In the case of a used car.
the tire equipment becomes much
more of selling point thar IL IL with
a car direct from the factory. How
ever. taking IL all in all, a new set
of tires and little cleaning up of the
car itself will accomplish the same re-
suits for the old worn car that
shave and q haircut and q new pair
OF shoes will do for the man with an
old suit of clothes"

First Arizona Infantry
to Have Reunion at Fair

At a recent meeting in Phoe-
nix Of the committee having the
matter in charge elaborate plans
were laid for a reunion of former
members of the first Arizona
and the 158th infantry to be held
Thursday of state fair week in
Phoenix Nov. 3-8.
The committee has taken ad-
vantage Of American Legion day
of the fair to get together as
many as possible of the boys
who served in this unit. Letters
are being sent out to every town
in the state, urging attendance
for the purpose of putting across
a permanent organization.
A letter has been written The
da Bara, godmother of the regi-
ment, asking her to be present
at the reunion.

AshurSt to Retire, Friends
Say, When Term Expires

That Hon. Henry F. Ashurst,
United States senator, will not
be a candidate for reelection in
1922, but will retire from the
senate and open a law office IN
Phoenix, is generally understood
among his friends around here,
says the Coconino Sun.
The fact that he is contem-
plating retiring to private life
was brought out by his declara-
ton for amendments to the
peace treaty. Ashurst's friends
say that he was not considering
1922 when he made this declara-
ton, but trying to get in tune
with the views of the large ma
jority of his constituents, al
though forced to revise his own
views, previously expressed. In
other words, they say that he
was not playing politics, but
merely doing what he was sent
to Washington to do-that is,
to represent his constituents.
1t is known that Senator Ash
urst is a poor man, speaking by
present-day standards. and de-
sires to return to private life in
order to build up a competency
for his old age, something he
cannot do if he remains in the
senate. In politics, he had gone
about as high as he can hope tC
go, and, having served two terms
in the United States senate. he
feels that he had about all the
honor there is in the position
and being well known, is now
assured of a success in the law
practice.

LINDEN SHIPPERS HAPPY WHEN

The lifting of the embargo on rail-

Lynden shippers this week. Cars can

pot to remove freight from incoming
cars, which are Immediately filled
