 The test was to see how much mile age each car would get on one tank of gasoline and how much additional oil and water they would require.
 The four Maxwells were named after the four towns on the. route, Wan Nuys,' San Fernando. .Zelzah" and Marion. At the completion of the completion of the run Major Fegan made the following report direct to Washington:
 "The Van Nuys Maxwell drove S05.1 miles on the ten gallon tank of gaso- line. No mechanical trouble. no addi- tional water or oil; averaged 30.5 miles to the, gallon.
 "The San Fernando Maxwell ran 364.2 miles, averaging 35.42 miles per gallon; no mechanical trouble, no ad- ditional water or oil.

may cause an open circuit and the whole battery will fail. This trouble may be due to a broken jar.
 Q.-How can I clean the top on my car? I have been told that gasoline is bad to use.
 A.-The top should be cleaned with soap studs and water. Rub the suds in well all over the top and wash with cle9r water. Use good castile soap Gasoline. kerosene and similar liquids ruin the layer of rubber in the top.
 Q-I am having persistent trouble with my storage battery, although am careful to keep the liquid up to the proper level. Do you think the gen orator can be the cause of the trouble
 A.-The trouble probably lies in the fact that your generator is not set for the correct charging rate for the particular service you demand of the car. You may be driving a great deal at night. consuming current for light ing, starting often and the generator is not supplying enough current to keep the battery up to the mark. Consult the nearest service station for the manufacturer of your battery.
 Q-Why have not front wheel brakes been applied to American stock cars, as they are in Europe? There must be some important advantage in this construction, and I cannot see why American manufacturers do not take it up.
 A.@The real reason behind the ap- parent American indifference to front wheel brakes is the price. They cost too much and add complications. while fairly satisfactory results are obtained from our present brake types. Gnques- tionably batter brake action is ob- tained with front wheel brakes. espec- ially if the left front and right rear are operated together and the right front and left rear are interconnected. If you desire further information re- garding the construction and operation of these brakes send a stamped ad-

 Q=Are the water vapor devices now on the market of any value? 1 under stand they give more power. greater speed and remove carbon. Who makes the best one?
 A-The devices in question have some value as preventers but not as removers of carbon. Once the cylin- ders are clean. and device of this gind is installed the water yapor en- tering the cylinder has a tendency to prevent carbon from depositing. The average device. however, does not per init enough water vapor to enter. l do not believe that there is any ap preciable gain in power. except from the fact that the engine is kept clean. list of makers is being sent you by mail.
 Q-What causes the gear shifter lever of my car to jump out of gear? It does this generally when the car is accelera ted. The repair man reme- died the trouble for a while. but it has returned.
 A--This trouble may be done to the shifter rod plunger being worn or the spring back of it being weak. This plunger is found at the end of the transmission case, right above the shaft, which the shifter lever moves. Or the trouble may be caused by the main shaft front bearing being worn or out of adjustment. by one of the shafts in the transmission being out of alignment or by worn gear teeth
 Q.-I am making my roadster over into a speedster, and expect to use it on local tracks. What tire equipment shall I use? Also where can I get an aluminium carburetor of racing type ard the proper ignition equipment?
 Al would suggest cord tires with ribbed tread. These tires should be clinchers, mounted on wire wheels. and you should use about sixteen Jugs. Any large carburetor maker and magneto maker can supply you with the neces- sary eduipment. but of course the price will be special. too.

 Nearly New Cars
 The four Maxwells entered in the contest were nearly new cars. One had only run 5 miles. one 56, another 126 and the fourth only 29 miles when they started the test According to Harold IL.

 The cars were to be driven through out San Fernando valley and at the start of the run each tank was filled
