KANSAS CITY TO COLORADO
IN IS HoURs-TEsf RUN MADE

Imagine driving from Kansas City
to the Colorado line and back-a dis
lance Of 962 miles--in Is hours and
So minutes! That's the record Just
hung up by Jack Harper. a Kansas
City pilot. The trip was a test run
for White Eagle Gasoline and the Du-
rant car. This phenomenal drive,
made last week over the Golden Belt
and Union Pacific highways, is still
the subject of much comment in
towns along the route.
Harper, accompanied by his mech
anican, c. e. Lyle. and one newspaper
man, left Kansas City at 10 o'clock
Tuesday morning. The first stop was
made at a White Eagle Service Sta.
ton in Topeka. where the gasoline
and oil supplies were replenished. The
only other stops were for gasoline At
White Eagle stations in the following
towns: Manhattan. Junction City.
Salina. Wilson, Russell. Ellis, and Oak.
ley. In other towns along the route.
the Inhabitants saw only a flying
streak as the car flashed through.
Harper sped his car across the state
at an average speed Of 81. SO miles per
hour. He paused at the Colorado line
only long enough to turn around and
start back.
On the return trip the car was halt
ed at Ellis and again at Russell for
exceeding the speed limit. But in
each instance after hurried explana-
ton by the local White Eagle repre-
sentative, the men were released.
Perhaps the most remarkable fea-
ture OF this record trip was the splen-
did mileage delivered by White Eagle
gasoline. The car encountered many
miles of mud and slush. It slipped
and slid-often averting the ditch by
a breath-taking margin. But despite
these unfavorable conditions, the
gasoline consumption was surprising
ly low. Only 46 gallons were used
for the entire trip-an average Of 21.4
miles per gallon. At times the going
WAS 90 heavy that It seemed the light
car would surely be stalled. But
