A test by which an Oidsmobiie
light eight touring car Is to be
driven 10000 miles before snow
flies is now being conducted by the
Milwaukee distributor Of the Olds-
mobile. The car has already been
driven more than 10000 miles. un-
der the most gruelling conditions
possible. over country roads and
through mud. under the direction
of an experienced driver who will
pilot the car under the observation
Of Olds Motor Works engineers for
the balance of the test.
During Friday and Saturday Of
last week all records for perform
ance Of light eight cars was broken.
according to a telegram received
by the manufacturers. On Friday
the car was driven 621 miles. while
on Saturday II made 37s miles an
an average of Is miles to the gal

both days.
About a month ago. l.. w. Frint
turned his car over to the automo-
bile editor OF the Milwaukee Jour-
nal. who writes under the name .of

more than 5000 miles over the
State. The distance was covered in
something more than 26 days and
an average of 1914 miles to the
gallon Of gas and 720 miles 70 the
gallon Of oil was maintained. Only
two stops were made during the
entire trip for any mechanical ad-

distance has been covered the car
Is to be taken down and examined
by engineers and an effort will be
made to ascertain just what dam
age has been done and how IL can
be avoided in cars of the future.

B MILLION SUM ASKED
 FOR FEDERAL ROADS

WASHINGTON.-An appropriation of $32 100000 for construction of for est roads and trail and rural post highway act is recommended in the agricultural bill for the next fiscal year, as reported to the house.
 The bills total is $6S,7S1 ,553, or about S21 100000 more than last year and $250,O00 less than the budget es- innate. The increase is due to the more liberal road fund provision which last year was $10,000,000.
 The budget bureau left out the an nual item of $360,000 for free seed distribution by senators and repre- sentatives and it was not placed in the bill by the appropriations com mittee. Some of the items in the measure are:
 For frost warning service, $12,000; eradication of hog cholera, $1S1 300; emergencies in fighting forest insects, $250 ,000; preventing spread of moths, $351 ,000; preventing spread of Euro pean corn borer, $200,000; checking spread of the Mexican bean beetle, pAO,OOo, studying looN heiDlIS oL DiI"o and animals, $5O2 ,24O; market inspec- tion of perishable foods, $275 LOGO; eX- termination of potato wart, $5,00O, and eradication of the pink boil worm of cotton, $41 400.
 The committee also recommended expenditure of $450,000 for acquisi- tion of additional lands at headwaters of navigable streams, and $46,500 for experiments and demonstrations in livestock production in cane sugar and cotton districts.
 For eradication of the southern cat !le tick, the committee recommended S60,000 and for meat inspection S866,0OO.
 The fund for the forest service was fixed at $6,585,5S2, which is S21, ,000 more than carried in the last bill.
 Discussing forest inspects, the com mittee reported that there were dan gerous infestations of timber-destroy ing insects in different national for est regions, one on the Kaibab plateau in Arizona.

YEAR 1922 GREATEST FOR
 GOOD ROADS IN THE U. 5.

1 Greater progress was made on the
 nations highways in the last year than in any year in the history of the country, Thomas M. Macdonald, chief of the bureau of public roads, stated in his annual report to the secretary of agriculture, made public recently.
 The report further states there now is apparent a real public appreciation of the importance of maintaining roads already built.
 Industrial and financial conditions were better in the year." MT. Mac Donald said, land, as a consequence, remarkable progress has been made in highway construction under the states and counties as well as under the
 joint control of the government and states. Ten thousand miles have been added to the federal aid roads alone, and doubtless more than an equal mileage has been constructed without federal assistance. More significant, however, than the progress in the physical work of road construction, or any other accomplishments of the year, are two developments, the re- suits of which are not apparent inn mediately and which cannot be meas ured in miles and dollars and cents, but which promise results for the fu- ture unequalled by any developments of the quarter century of highway act witty.
 First of these is the passage of the federal highway act, with it's plan for connected system of roads for the whole nation. The second is the ex- traordinary activity in economic and physical research in connection with the financing, locating, managing and designing of the highways. For more than two decades there has been in progress a slow but certain develop ment of highway construction from a casual activity in the hands of un- skilled local officials without plan or program, other than to maintain an established minimum of facility trans portation, toward reasoned industry in the hands of state and national of ficials, supplemented by intelligent To- cal aid, the aim of which is to provide complete and economical highway transportation service throughout the nation. In this development the adoption of the federal aid highway system provided for by the federal highway act and the significant rec ords of the last year constitute the greatest forward steps ever made"
 In the year 7,469 miles of road proj ects were complete and 17,978 miles were under construction. These were estimated as half completed. Federal aid earned by the states on complet- ed and uncompleted projects amounted to $194, ,560,135, of which $166,911,552 actually had been paid. The roads | brought to completion averaged more than two hundred miles for each state. Texas had the largest complete mile age, 933. Texas received the largest payment of federal aid, S5,9l5,046 . and earned nearly 212 million dollars , more.

HOW DOPE IS STRUGGLED
 ACROSS THE BORDER

Ed Le Bean, former owner of the Palace Saloon in Nogales, Sonora, his wife and two children, were taken into custody by the customs authorities on Thursday afternoon.
 Mrs. Le Bean and the two children were in the lobby of the Montezuma waiting for the stage due to leave for Tucson in a short time, when a cus- toms officer standing at the cigar counter noticed she had a parcel with both ends open containing meat. Now this meat while bearing mute testi- mony and a reason for an errand which would take one across the line, proved in the end to be the undoing of the party. Wondering why Mrs. Le Bean, who was going to Tucson should buy meat in this locality, the officer reported that there was some thing suspicious about the lady and that he also noticed a curious bulge in the stockings of one of the little girls. With this information before him Special Deputy Berner gave orders to have the stage call at the customs house before it left for Tucson. When the stage arriyel at the customs house Mrs. Le Bean was asked to see MT. Berner a minute, and as she steep from the car small sealed tin was seen to drop from under the lady's skirt, which she quickly and as unob- trusively as possible recovered, but not before the keen eyes, watching her movement, had taken note of the hap pening.
 Le Bean not being anywhere in sight an auto was sent to follow the stage, and just the other side of Camp Stephen D. Little the much wanted gentleman hailed the stage and was taken by the officers in the car which followed, thereby completing the little family circle and drawing the strings of the law's net tight, to be opened in the office of the customs house, where we taken up the thread of the story again.
 On being searched Mrs. Le Bean disgorged three pound tins of smok ing opium, while three ounces of mor- phine were found on the older girl, Le Bean himself having craftily plac- ed the stuff" and burden on the wo- man and children.
 Under close questioning complete confession was obtained from him which eXonerated the woman to large extent, they being used as "tools" or carriers for the narcotics and innocent of an intent to break the law, though technically guilty, as they were in possession of the dope.-No- gales Democrat.
