the Southern Pacific's limited train
that is the amazing achievement Of
this Buick coupe in covering the 751
miles between San Francisco and Port
land. Pilots McGee and Skinner, with
out rest, fought snow, mud, ice and
treacherous mountain roads in their
wild dash for the new record.
Made Record Time.
Checking out from the Ferry build
ing in San Francisco at 4:22 Friday
afternoon, the Buick coupe rolled out
on the pavement for the long dash to
the north at sol, just 80 minutes
having been consumed in crossing the
bay and awaiting place at the end of
the line to leave the boat. Deducting
idle" time, the actual elapsed time
from Sausalito to Portland was %
hours, 81 minutes.
The checking Of the Buick coupe at
the start was done by San Francisco
newspaperme The official timing
was by Western Union. with James G..
Decatur in charge. Western Union
operators at various points along the
route kept check on the car and the
finish representatives were ready with
watches to catch the exact second the
wheels stopped rolling.

ity Of the enclosed type of car. They
made trip, regarded as impossible
by road experts, yet they covered the
751 miles in Al minutes less time than
it takes the Shasta limited to make
the trip. Their wonderful accomplish
ment sets at rest for all time the Oft
repeated assertion that enclosed cars
are only for twon use Here was a
car that broke a record over winter
roads and trails while the pilots were
snug and cozy as if they had been in
their own homes.

D. J. Mcintosh has the Great Falls
agency for the Velie automobiles and
trucks. W. v. Stapp is associated with
him as salesman.
Mr.. Mcintosh says: with nearly all
the large factories curtailed from ~
per cent or less in normal production
and the cars in use wearing out. it
seems certain that shortage in GER
tain popular types will be seen in the
spring. The demand over the country
is not falling off.
There is always a definite demand
for requirements. Besides the curtail-
ment in the motor factories many of
the large accessory factories are par
TALLY shut down, and this will cause a
shortage of necessary finishing mater
ials to turn out the completed auto
mobile. / surely look for a big de-
mand in the spring. The worst phase
Of the business depression has gone. "

LEAVE CHAINS LOOSE

Chains should be kept loose enough
50 that they will work around the tire
and provide an equal distribution of
wear and strain. Chains should not. be
used except when absolutely necessary,
as great injury results from their con-
tinued use on pavements or hard roads.

Old Status Revived.
Except for the League of Nations,
which is ignored. the status OF the

same as 1t was during the Wilson ad-

close Of his term that President Will

The new policy was made public by
Secretary OF State Hughes In note
replying to the invitation of Lloyd
George for this government to parti-

meeting Of heads OF states. The note
