ONE DAY MOTOR
TRIPS TO TAKE
FROM THE CITY

Information on one az these
trips from Albuquerque will be fur
nished on request by koslIare
Tours, office i'm The Journal build
ing)
II someone asks you "What Is
the best one-day trip out of Albu-
querque for seeing typical New
Mexico" tell him Jemez. The
Jemez trip takes you through des-
ert country, over high uplands with
scrub cedar, past marvellous sand
stone cliffs. the like of which can
be seen only in one or two other
(and much more inaccessible)
places, into mountain scenery with
tall pines and clear trout streams.
You visit an Indian pueblo on the
way and pass through couple of
quaint Mexican hamlets. At Jemez
Springs you see the ruins of one Of
the finest mission churches In the
state and excavations where the
archaeological school has been dig
ging up the past. You lunch In a
fine hotel. You find yourself in a
country of wonderful lime and
sand stone and you see In the Soda
dam formation which you cannot
match out of Yellowstone park.
The trip Is a drive of only IS
miles-the first fifty over roads as
good as any you could wish, and
the last fifteen through country
beautiful enough to dull your
realization of the bumps in the
road. 1t can be made by normal
driving in three hours and a half.
There is no chance of losing the
way. Drive to Bernalillo over the
pike, turn to the left just before
you get to the convent, and when
you have crossed the Rio Grande
and mounted the mesa, the road is
plain. There are one or two roads
leading to the left. but stick to the
travelled road and bear always 10
the right.
Jemez pueblo, while 1t presents
the appearance of being rather civ
ilized and given to red roofs. well
repays study. There are charming
bits of architecture, and once we
stumbled on a procession of medi-
cine men, all dolled up in paint and
feathers and out to catch q sick
mans devil-sufficient indication
that the church at one end and the
government Indian school at the /!
other end OF the pueblo have not
driven out all the old spirits.

loaded and in complete touring
condition so that actual touring
conditions were duplicated to the
greatest extent possible.
The test for petrol consumption
was from sydney to Kurrajong
Heights and return, more than
102 miles. "a combination of
rather poor roads, rain and the
mountainous country made it a
very thorough test of the merits
of each car entered" according to
the sydney Herald.
Petrol consumption was decided
on the Il, A. C. formula" says
this paper, "in which the distance
tmiles per gallon) is multiplied
by the result of dividing the
weight in pounds by gao. The hill
climb was also decided by formu-
la, the time in seconds and horse
power being multiplied together,
and the result divided into the
weight of the car in pounds"
The Essex made the 102 miles
on 2,6S gallons of petrol, aver
aging 1870 miles per gallon. 1t
was given 100 points for this re-
markable feat, a similar number
for placing first in the hill climb

DEVEl- 0PMENT OF TIRE
MAKING HAS INCREASED
MILEAGE DELIVERED

Motorists today take their tire
service and mileage for granted"
SAYS q veteran Goodrich represen-
tative who has seen the growth of
the tire industry from its incep-
ton. "They have become so ac-
customed to getting eight, ten.
twelve and even fifteen thousand
miles or more from their tires
that they do not appreciate what
science and inventive genius have
done for them.
an the early days OF the pneu-
matte tires, as any old time motor
list will tell you every tire was a
gamble. If a iaan got five hun
dred miles from tire without
having trouble he was surprised.
He really expected tire trouble
with every mile he drove. and
when a motorist started out to
drive his car he wondered il the
tires would hold out till he got
to the next corner.
Tire manufacturers naturally
set their minds to the problem
at once, and the Goodrich organ
ization, being the pioneer in the
industry, quickly produced many
improvements in both materials
and methods of manufacLui e-all
making for longer mileags and
better tires
zone of the greatest steps in
advance on the part of Goodrich
was the production of the Silver
town Cord tire. This tire caused
revolution not only in the tire
business but also N motoring. 1t
established new and higher
quality standard and it gave the
user so many more miles that ii
was instantly recognized as a gen.
uine economy Today the silver
town has reached its final perfec-
tion, and is regarded as he sta nd
ard comparison.
Both in cords and fabric tires
Goodrich has responded TO the
motorists demand for longer mile
age at lower cost, and today the
man who buys tire never thinks
of asking the dealer for a guar
antee as to mileage. He knows
he will get many hundreds and
even thousands more miles than
ally guarantee could promise, and
that in addition he will receive
the service which Goodrich devel-
oped years ago and which has
become an Integral patt OF the

DEALERS AND OWNERS
OF THE GOOD MAXWELL
TESTING ITS POWER

mo Maxwell dealer or owner
seems content until he has set up
some sort of record with his car,
SAYS NJ. II. Wood. local Maxwell
dealer. THE good Maxwell dis
PLAYS such abundant power that
every driver is tempted to test II
TO the limit of its ability. And yet
it appears that that limit Is never
reached.
Three recent reports of Maxwell
performance, one more remarkable
than another, serve to raise even to
higher plane Maxwell reputation
for amazing power, absolute de-
pendability and extremely low run
ming costs.
Prom Cleveland, Ohio, to Allen
town, Pa, Is distance by road of
444 miles. Clayton Kline of AL
lentown drove the route in 16
hours. His good Maxwell aver
aged 10 miles to the gallon Of fuel
and consumed two quarts Of oil.
It must be remembered that a
large part of this trip Ia through
the Allegheny mountains, over
steep slopes and bad roads, which
makes the records for speed and
mileage truly remarkable.
"In Toledo, Ohio, another good
Maxwell ran continuously for 142
hours, completing 1000 for an av-
erage speed of approximately %
miles per hour. This run was made
over bumpy streets, good pave
ments and muddy roads, the motor
faltering at no time and never ov-
erheating in spite of the continuous
strain of. 142 hours constant work.
The car ran about "a miles to the
gallon of gasoline and 450 miles
to the quart OF oil.
And then from Canada-from
the northw the report of
another good Maxwell engaged In
the accomplishment of wonderful
feat. The Trail and Rossland Hill
In Trail, r. c.. is ga miles long
with an elevation of more than
1000 feet. The road to the sum
nit is not an ideal highway for
any motorist or any motor car;
very steep in sections, dangerously
curved, smooth. bumpy and indif-
ferent at indefinite intervals. Yet
a good Maxwell made the climb in
high gear, performance never be-
fore accomplished by any four CYL
inder car, and only successfully at
tempted by high powered skies and
multiple cylindered vehicles.
I'm none of the tests here re-
counted was other than the Max
well stock car used: nor were these
cars specially adjusted and equip

wells you'll find in front Of so many

Of the professional season the grounds
were scenes of animation, which gave
no hint of other depression either, As
a matter Of fact, it takes very strong
wrench to separate the American peo-

on the whole, it is, perhaps, good sign
that the American people find them

GOING BACK HOME.

Officials of Boston state that there
are "only' $4,000 persons idle in that
lefty at the present time. 1t is mum
Der sufficiently large to corroborate the
| statement of Commander Hanforl
MacNider Of the American Legion that
the people are still ilocking to the large
cities, thereby causing glut OF
unemployment in those cities, which
threatens serious consequences. A
large proportion Of these new
corners in the cities undoubt-
eddy went there without any definite
assurance Of employment and, many Of
them, after giving up positions in the
smaller communities. These latter
employments did not pay large wages
or salaries but they were fairly per-
manent, providing the holders of them
measured up to the needs of the sit
uation. They represented an honest,
independent living. Yet, thousands
and thousands Of dissatisfied people
threw away those jobs in disgust and
made their way to the large centers of
population. Now those thousands and
thousands are virtually stranded in tie
larger cities, dependent to great ex
tent upon charity. Some of them could
probably get their old jobs back il
they would return to their own home
towns and most of them could be as
sured Of temporary shelter and food
if they should return. 1t is in the ex-
pectation of this that Commander Mae
Nider has called upon the ex-seryice
men, who make up a part of the vast
army Of unemployed in the large cit
les, to 60 back home and seek employ.
ment and relieve the very serious Sit
uation in the large cities. 1t is sensi-
Bile advice. 1t is sensible not only
from the standpoint of the individuals
directly concerned but it is also sensi
BILE from the standpoint of the com
munities in which they are being con
gested at the present time. If the
great army of unemployed should turn
their faces toward the home town or
toward the regions of the great farm
ing activities they would serve great
ly to solve the unemployment prob
lem of the country. Commander Mac
Nider is right.

The usual number, or thersabouts, OF
Vermont corporations are listed as
having lost their charters on April /
of this year because of failure to meet
the requirements imposed upon them
by the state of Vermont, chiefly, per-
haps, because of their failure to pay
license or charter tax. The annual
wiping out of these delinquent cor
porations does not mean that Vermont
is each year being deprived of that
number of going concerns. As mat
ter of fact, considerable majority of
such corporations losing their charters
never were engaged in active business,
having failed to progress beyond the
paper stage of development, while a
considerable percentage more have
passed out of active operation so that
the surrender of their charters means
only the final closing up of the cor
porate existence. So the loss of these
nominal corporations each year is
nothing TO be worried about, although
now and then there is an exception,

Vermont women have been burned to

cause was the use of kerosene to start

safe rule to follow and that is, never

been applied to the material in the

of the dire results likely to follow the
breaking of that safe rule should have
a certain restraining effect on such

MARKET CONDITIONS.

There is a good demand in this city for the following products, consisting of peaches. tomatoes, celery. lima beans. grapes, apples and Conn. eggs. The ef- fects of the railroad strike have been hindrance to the transportation be- tween this city and othrs. The shipments of boxed apples. peaches and grapes have been smaller than usual and because of the inability of the railroads to get them here on time wholesalers have been using more native products. On account Of the wholesalers using more native pro- ducts that has been an incentive for the farmers to bring more vegetables in. The trouble here in Norwich has been. on account of the large quantities of vege- tables that were being supplied on the markets In the past by the farmers sim ultaneously The outlet has been poor in many cases. When the consumers stop buying, the wholesalers at the same time cut down on buying from the growers and this affects their perishabie pro ducts which oJs to he marketed at that time but cannot under these conditions The trucks that have been conveying pro- ducts into the markets here until re- cently have done a great deal to hurt the marketing of vegetables by the farm CTS in this way they underrate the prices that the farmers ask and conse- ouently hurt the farmers trade. The beef and veal markets are higher in price as well as the butter market.
