OLDSMOBILE SCOUT JAR RETURNS AFTER
 INTERESTING TRIP

Traveling 1000 miles in less than ! seven days running time over eve 3 sort of northern Arizona roads. Includ- ] ing some of the hardest mountain { grades in the state without one single ] tire change or mechanical adjustment 1 is the unusual run established by the OldsmobiIe IS" Scout Car equipped | with Goodyear tires, in its road log ging tour of northern Arizona
 Although the run was not originally planned as a test of either the ears endurance or its ease on tires. the re markabIe outcome of the trip stands out as significantly pointing to the perfect mechanism of the mary elous V-type Oldsmobile eight-cylinder motor.
 According to the driver of the scout car never on the entire trip. did il be- come necessary to raise the hood for one single mechanical adjustment The tires returned with their original Phoenix air
 Practically every known automobile road of northern Arizona was covered in the tour which included the com plete traVersing of the picturesque White mountains For a great part of the way, good graded roads were en- cOuntcred but in all, much sand, rocks, mud and steep grades were negouated- Particularly IT the White mountains ! from Ft. Apache to Rice, a distance ot about 100 miles. were grades and rocks ! encountered which Were trying to rhe utmost on d cars stamina.
 After leaving White river according l to the scout car party, a grade regis ] tering as much as % per cent in places, i literally covered with hugh. sharp boulders was made. This grade meas i ures exactly six miles in length and 1t ' is necessary to use low gear work for ! the greater part Of the hill.
 4 remarkable feature of the cars ability on this grade. the driver states ! is the fact that net once did the motor ! meter register more than warm Aft ! CT leaving the summit af this hill. the balance of the road runs over rolling
