What in many ways may be con-
sidered the most remarkable piece
of prolonged and almost sustained
cross-country driving so far placed
on the record books, has been COM
pleted by Ray r., Mcnamara, road
engineer of the Maxwell Motor
corporation, newspaper writer on
matters pertaining to the automo-
bile, and the man who is said to
have seen nearly 100000 miles OF
good, bad, and indifferent roadway
fly under him in his twenty years
in the industry.
In this, his latest achievement,
which carried him GAS miles clos
Ell to the million mark, Mcnamara
piloted a Maxwell touring car,
standard in every detail, from De-
troit to Los Angeles and return in
II 1-2 days, driving every foot of
the distance himself. carrying no
mechanician, treating the car as
would any tourist, and resorting to
no unusual and special servicinS
as is frequently done, not so often
in standard tests OF this nature but
in those runs designed as advertis-
ing stunts. In fact the car required
practically no service during the
entire trip. Leaving Detroit on
June 13, Mcnamara maintained a
reasonably even pace over the vari-
ed roads which stretch across the
plains, deserts, and mountains OF
the southern route to the Pacific,
" l.
form-course of the Lincoln highway
Daily mileage of course fluctuated
with the road and climate condl-
lions, but an average of l.3l
miles per day was attained for the
entire journey.
The speed of the run, however,
is not considered as remarkable
by Mcnamara as some of the fear
lures of the performance of less
spectacular but more substantial
nature. Although elevations OF
more than 5000 feet were reached
in the Sierra Nevadas and tne
Rockies, no changes were made In
the carburetor as adjusted before
leaving Detroit, he states 1t Is
also shown that spark plugs were
not removed, even for cleanlnS'
that valves required no adjust
ments. and the service brake was
taken up only twice during tbs
long tourney, despite the SHARP
and winding descents of the noun

NATIONAL ENCLOSED
CAR WEEK ARRANGED
BY CADILLAC DEALERS

A national enclosed car week
has been arranged for by Cadillac
distributors and dealers in many
cities in the United States and Can
ada for September 1928 The
new Cadillac victoria and five-pas-
senger coupe body styles will serve
as the principal feature of novelty
at the Auto Salons, which will be
held by the Cadillac dealers.
The new type CT victoria, the al
ways popular four passenger en-
closed model, has been receiving
enthusiastic praise from Cadillac
dealers and from Cadillac own
ers who have seen it.
Changes have been made which
give the Victoria an impression of
greater length and less height. 1t
is considerably enlarged, providing
more room for the occupants. All
seats have been made wider and
deeper, and the drivers seat is
now so placed as to be directly be-
hind the steering wheel. The vic
toria auxiliary folding seat. which
is beside the drivers seat, IS so ar
ranged that it gives more room for
the person occupying it.
Interior appointments have been
enhanced in the use of new pull
to-handles on the doors and other
designs of fittings which are beau
tifully in keeping with the atmos-
phere of the car.
The five-passenger coupe also
has been considerably improved by
providing more roominess. T
One of the outstanding refine
ments is the use of the folding
seat beside the drivers seat. This
new arrangement replaces a fitting
seat formerly used in the popular
five-p passenger coupe model.
"In advancing the idea Of the ma
tional enclosed car week" says
Mr.. Fl. IT. Rice, president OF the
Cadillac Motor Car company. 1--WE
indicate our faith in the future

TINE new Cadillac Victoria, we
i believe, embodies refine
ments which will induce even
wider and warmer favor for this
popular Cadillac model. -
A well-considered change in d.

Mr.. sorbo asks that business men
cooperate in keeping the. downtown
streets in good condition. by sshoveling
on the walks in front OF their places.
This will prevent the accumulation of

Many requests for sweet clover seed

Nekoma Farmers club sent word
this morning that farmers in the COM

seed, 100 pounds of sweet clover
having already been listed in the pool.
MI. Rubinow stated that farmers
clubs all over the state are following
the same practice of pooling orders.
This not only lessons the price to the
individual but facilitates the handling
Of the seed and guarantees to the
buyer only first class products. It is
estimated that sweet clover acreage
will at least be doubled this spring,
for farmers realize the necessity for
diversified farming with more cattle,
and no feed crop is better adapted for
North Dakota conditions than sweet
clover.
