OVERLAND BREAKS
ANOTHER U. $. RECORD

Across the United States, S,442
miles from New York to San Fran
cisco. with an average OF 27.2 miles
to the gallon OF gasoline! Twenty
five different drivers handled the
car.
That's the new trans-continental
economy record established on Mon
day morning, July 26th, when the
Overland How Much Gas car
found the end of its trail before the
Overland store in Van Ness avenue,
San Francisco.
The run was started from 50th
street and Broadway. New York, at
midnight, July 18th. Just 179 hours
later. or roughly 7 u days, this
lightweight car had completed one
OF the most interesting and unusual
trans-continental journeys in recent
automobile history. Eleven states
crossed, with all their variety OF
rough country roads, broken noun
tain trails, stretches OF mud and
weary wastes OF desert-'and; yet the
car arrived in San Francisco ready
and lit to make return trip.
Throughout the run the most
careful check was kept OF the gaso-
line and OIL consumed. Study oil
the log OF the trip indicates that this
Overland was improving in perform
ance all the way across the conttn'
ent. There was plenty Of variety In
the weather for the drivers-cloudy'
fair. warm. intensely hot, cold and
rain. The roads were just as varied.
However. these averages between
laps tell a story OF consistent per
Torrance that few years ago would
have been considered an incredible
motor car performance.

Vth itHiNI mn fVR ZEN AERh"
BY Rev. Jas. II. Tate, staff Cores
pendent.
Having kept some brief notes on
weather conditions for several years,
have decided to give thu readers
of the Signal the benefit OF such in
formation as may be Cleaned from
these brief notes relative to the
amount Of rain we get and when We
get II. ! must say in the beginning
that my figures are not exact since
! do not possess a regular weather
station outfit. Nevertheless the fig
ures given are probably not very far
wrong. II should be remembered,
too, that my observations have all
been made at Fluvanna; but as the
figures cover a period OF ten years
Aug. 16, 1910 m Aug. 16, 1920
the average for Scurry county and
adjoining counties is probably about
the same.
IL should also be remembered that
this period includes the great drouth
OF 1917-1S. This fact naturally re-
duces our averages. The Texas Al
manac and a rainfall map, published
in the Dallas News in April, 1918,
each indicates that this section
should get an average rainfall OF
about 81 inches per year. My figures
show an average OF ~ inches for
the period named. This apparent
discrepancy is mainly accounted for
by the great drought. In 1917 we
had 5 Tie inches OF precipitation;
in 1918 we had IL 5-16 inches. This
accounts for the complete failure Of
crops during those years. We have
already, this August. had more rain
than during the entire year Of 1917.
More rain fell one afternoon-June
II. 19l2-than during 1917. In
1919 we had 2s 9-l6 inches.
A study OF my notes reveal the
following facts which may be in
tel esting to some, especially to those
farmers who may care to consider
them;
Only one January out Of last ten
had as much as one inch Of rain.
Only three Februaries and two
Marches. out OF ten, had as much as
one inch. Now note the difference in
precipitation with the coming OF
spring. Six Aprils. five Mays, eight
Junes, seven jules, six Augusts and
eight Octobers. out OF the ten, each
had one inch or more during the
same period. Note the change again:
Only three Novembers and three
out OF the ten, had one inch or more.

Additions 10 Earth,s Welaht.

In the early days OF Its history the
earth grew rapidly by the addition
Of meteoric matter. II is still growing
ip the same manner. though scarcely
20 an appreciable extent, for the mass
OF mete0ric matter added yearly Is
reckoned to be only 10000 tons. In
the course OF ages the larger planets
have swept up practically all the frag.
ments Of the original disruption, and
the only available source Of supply Of
meteoric matter seems to be that
brought by comets.

Chinese Made First Bread7

II Is said that the Chinese were
the FIRST bread makers, and they made
bread from wheat and rice as early
as 1908 b. c. Probably the first bread
plnde from yeast was baked In Eng
Iapd IN about 1884. Aerated bread,
which rises from cnrbonic acid gas
injected into the dough, became some
what common in 1857, but practically
all bread, bakery-made or homemade,
owes It's leavening to yeast or baking
powder.
The Snyder signal. (Snyder, Tex.) 1887-????, 1920-08-20

Note this further fact: Four No
MEMBERS, three Defenders, six Janu-
aries, four Februaries and three
Marches during the ten years. had
two inches of precipitation or more.
II would seem that these facts should
give the farmer a pretty safe basis
on which to determine the kind OF
crop to plant and when to plant IT,.
Finally: Whatever course we may
pursue, or whatever business we may
be engaged in; let us all remember,
in the spirit OF love and devotion,
Him who is our supreme Benefactor,
and without whom we can do moth
ing.
