Now the Union Printers have only
one path to travel in the Washing
ton Base Ball and Athletic Associa-
tion series. They must emerge vic
tors in the Government League play
offs If they would win the right to
tackle Mount Rainier in the final
series of tilts. The Typos were eager
to dispose of the General Accounting
Office nine of the Government loop to-
day in match starting at 4:3O
o'clock at the Washington barracks.
Norman Hutchinson, hurting ace of
the Typos. will be called on today to
keep his club in the running.
Inability to solve the slants of lr-
wing Batson caused the Printers to
falter yesterday. The Mount Rainier
boxman hurled in superb form, Is he
yielded but four bingles and famed
seven batters in the eight innings he
worked. Heinie Webb opposed Bat
son and he did fairly well except In
the fifth, when two runs were marked
against the Printers. Tommy Ford,
second sacker of the Typos, poled
three wallops, while Fred Loomis,
Wright and Noyes supplied the punch
at bat for the Marylanders.
With 7-to-1 victory over the
Quartermaster nine of the War De-
partment tucked away. the Registers,
winners of the Treasury loop, planned
to put forth their best efforts against
the Williams ebb diamond ath-
letes today at o'clock on the east
diamond of the Ellipse. Williams
Webb tossers appear to have the edge
and if they batter the Registers they
will mingle tomorrow with the vic
tor of the Union Printers-General Ac-
counting Office aggregation in game
that will decide the team to en-
counter Mount Rainier.
The Registers may prove bother
some to Williams w ebb players, judg-
ing by the manner in which they
trounced the Quartermasters. Boyd
Edelin,, former Central High finger,
who toed the mound for the Regis
ters, was nicked for only seven blows
and he hurled well throughout. New
ton, Nash and Clatterbuck each
smacked pair of safeties for the
Registers.

Tilden has met practically all the
men who threaten his title and de-
feated them. Some have scored
against him, but it has been at times
when little was at stake. He may
did when he paired himself with his
protege, Sandy Weiner, but it is rea-
sonably sure that Big Bill will take
few chances either of conditions or
strategy when SO much hangs on the
results of this weeks play.
Cant shake TiIden.
His opponents have no surprise to
offer Tilden. He has seen them mount
their heights, and has topped them.
The greatest surprise he could offer
them would be to begin to miss. He
is in a position to gauge those who
are coming and those who are going.
1t was no surprise to any tennis fan
when George Lott put out Dich Will
liams. Williams pulled a tendon in
Paris. 1t was only necessary to make
him use his feet as well as his racket
to uncover his weakness.
1t was no surprise when Norman
Brookes fell before kelleher.. All
knew that any sterling player who
could force him to play at top speed
for long could defeat the veteran who
is approaching the half-century mark
in age.
Hopes were pinned on Little Bill
Johnston early this season, when he
rested from the courts to pile up
strength and weight for the big tour
naments, but his showings SO far
have not encouraged those who hope
to see him beat Tilden.

NASH OFFICIAL
 IS OPTIMISTIC
September Business Shows Record-B Breaking Vol
 ume Of Sales

Indications pointing to a record breaking volume of sales are seen by E.. II. McCarty. general sales manager of the Nash Motors company, in mak- ing public the fact that Nash now has on hand more orders than ever before at this time of year. Not only does the volume of orders for the new Ad- vanced Six and Special Six series ex- ceed any previous September in the company's history" said Mir. McCarty, but it also surpasses any single month of the last six months period of all previous years"
 "The reception accorded the new Nash series by the public has been high ly gratifying, even greatly exceeding the factory's expectations. Since the new Nash lines were announced, requests for information about the Nash fran chise and actual applications for terri tory have been received from SIS com petitive dealers in all parts of the United States.
 We have every reason to be opti- mistic at this time and look forward to excellent business the rest of the year. As far as Nash is concerned, the big season is on in full swing and our problems now is to supply the de- mand. The Kenosha factory is rapidly reaching the point of peak production and it will not be long before that stage has been attained. Our records show that the demand has been increas- ing constantly since the introduction of the new line and there is no reason to believe that it will not continue for an indefinite period. Consequently we are preparing to respond to the full limit by taking whatever steps may be necessary to increase our production.
 Orders for the Nash Special Six se- ries made at Milwaukee also have ex- ceptionally heavy, but because of the tremendous task of changing the plants over for six clyinder produce from a four basis, the Milwaukee production naturally will be slower to reach it's full capacity; operations there, how ever, are being stepped up to meet heavy demand"

.$5 FORFEIT IS
 STILL UNCLAIMED
Releef Company Backs Up It's
 Guarantee

To back up the claim that Releef will do what cold patch cannot do, the Releef Products company, manufac. turers of this popular product, offer . reward of five dollars for any automo- bile tube not rotten, that Releef can not fix. This offer has stood for some months and as yet has not been for feited. ,
 Releef is called the worlds best rapid rubber repairer and requires no heat or gasoline for it's application. A strik- ing example of its ability to permanent ly repair tube is a test recently made in Florida. when a tube with fifteen punctures was run through sandy roads for over a thousand miles without . single Releef patch coming loose.
 A generous sized outfit of Releef may be bought at any accessory dealer for sixty cents.

ASSURES REAR
 AXLE ACCURACY
Rigid Inspection Made Of Over
 land Gears

Probably no other feature of inspec- tion of Overlands and Willys-Knights is so intricate and detailed as that of the inspection of the differential gears of the Overland models.
 A complete outfit of micrometer gear testing machines furnish an inspection requirement. that is the terror of man. ufacturers who furnish Willys- Overland material for these parts.
 "Willys- gear inspection is more exacting than that of any other car manufacturers under $1 1,500," was the recent statement of the engineer of company which furnishes the spiral gears for Overland differentials.
 Each gear in the Overland's rear sys- tenn is tested and inspected to the most minute fraction of an inch to prevent a howl or growl in the rear end. Defi- mite assurance of long wear is made by the closeness and accuracy of these tests, which are also the terror of am- bilious parts salesmen.

Across mighty snow-capped noun tain peaks and yawning precipices, over raging mountain streams and through the heart of deepest canyons hitherto impossible except on sure footed bur ros, E. $. Evans and A. F, Bement of Detroit have driven by automobile from Winnipeg in Manitoba to Van couver in British Columbia.
 In honor of the fact that theirs was the first motor car ever to com plete an all-Canadian run across the Canadian Rockies to Vancouver, Evans and Bement upon their arrival in Vic toria, B. C., were presented with d medal by the premier of British Co., lumbia, the honorable John Oliver.
 Throughout the journey across the mountains, from the time they left the new Banff-Windemere Highway in the province of Alberta, to the time they made their exit from the famous Fras- CT Canyon in British Columbia, the intrepid trail blazers encountered many run, Evans and Dement, were compelled to drive on the tracks of the Canadian National railroad through 17 tunnels perils. During this section of the and over 27 trestles.
 The men started from Winnipeg on August 21 and reached Victoria on September s. The run was made under the joint auspices of the Lincoln and Canadian Highway associations for the purpose of logging an all-Canadian transcon tinental automobile route. The car they drove was a Packard.
 E. S. Evans, who is one of the founders of the Lincoln Highway asso- ciation, is best known perhaps as the inventor of automobile loading devices and improved methods of shipment re- puted to have saved American motor ists $50,000,000 in the last eight years. He is president of the B. S. Evans company of Detroit and vice president of the Bassick Alemite corporation, makers of the Alemite high lubricating system. A. F.

TEST TO INSURE NORTHCAROLNA
 PERFECT ROADS
All GuesswOrk Eliminated In Construction And
 Material

With t..e determination to have the best roads that its funds will build and to see that its roads are constructed in strict accordance with it's specifications the North Carolina highway depart ment, with the help of its chemist, R. L. Oberholser, has advanced the science of road construction to the point where all guess work has been elimi- mated as to uniform density in payment construction.
 Even when the materials are mixed according to specifications and the sur face looks good, the mixture which has gone into the road may fail through lack of proper compression. Mir. Ober holser meets this situation by insisting upon daily density tests of the finished pavement.
 From each road project in the state the chemical laboratory of the state highway department at Raleigh re- eeives daily a piece of the pavement drilled from the days lay. If the laboratory test revels that the workmen have been lax and there is insufficient density the work on the project under investigation is stopped immediately. Poor construction cannot continue on any road in the state longer than twen- ty-four hours. After the cause of the trouble is ascertained the work pro- eeeds. If necessary the stretch of roadway showing insufficient density is torn up and relaid. The tests sometimes save, it is claimed, as much as $12,000 . mile later in road repairs. As a re- suit of methods such as these North Carolina now has some of the best bituminous motor roads in the world.
 Roads at Low Cost.
 No state in the union is showing a better record for low cost of mainten- ance on its state highway system than Massachusetts. The impressive show Ing of only IT cents per square yard for maintaining 1,742, ,166 square yards of asphaltic concrete pavements during 1923 is considered by engineers to be remarkable in view of the fact that the roads have been in service for many years. The rate of 1.17 cents per square

LOS ANGELES. Cal, Sept. 2o.- When the fleet of highway patrol service trucks was inaugurated by the Auto mobile club of Southern California to cover daily 2,O00 miles of main roads, it was not expected that the drivers would be called upon to rescue aero planes. This is what happened, how ever, few days ago near Capistrano Mission on the coast highway between Los Angeles and San Diego, where a mail plane had been forced to land.
 The driver of patrol car number 62 saw the plane make the forced landing. and having been former member of the British air serves, he realized that some. thing was wrong. With his equipment for emergency repairs on motor ve- hicles and knowledge of flying ma chimes, he was able to not only speedily locate the trouble, but to effect tempo.- ary repairs. The grateful pilot of the aeroplane proceeded on his way with profuse thanks and great rejoicing and Uncle Sam's mail was uninterrupted

OIL IS POWER SAYS JOHNSTON Explains Tests Made By Wassons Motor
 Check

"Oil is more than oil, it is power."
 This, in brief. is the message which the Indian Refining company, manu- lecturers of Havoline oils, and -the Gen eral Oil corporation, manufacturers of Go-Zip and distributors for Havoline oil in this territory are trying to get over to the automobile owners of Bir- mingham, through demonstrations furn- ished by the famous Wasson motor check at the Go-Zip filling station, Ave nue G and Twenty-fourth street, south.
 From daylight to dark, since it's ar rival in the city Monday, the Wasson motor check has been busy diagnosing ailments of Birmingham motor car owners. The machine has averaged from 15 to 25 tests daily-always in the presence of a large and interested crowd of onlookers who have marvelled at the uncanny accuracy with which the Wasson motor check records horse power delivered at the rear wheels at different speeds and loads. One spec tator remarked Saturday that the Was son motor check was regular collec- tion of hills of all sizes and grades all rolled into one."
 The Wasson motor check has been brought to Birmingham by the General Oil corporation, Go-Zip manufacturers, in conjunction with officials of the Indian Refining company. With every crank case filling of Havoline oil, a double oil-power test is given free on the motor check. This test determines tba oe speed up to the highest spede possible {; it also measures the actual slippage past the pistons showing the effective ness of the oil seal. The steps of these tests, as explained by J, Gregory John ston, president of the General Oil corpo- ration are as follows:
 First the crank case is drained, washed out and refilled with the right grade of Havoline motor oil, which the engineers conducting the test deem right for the motor of his car. A power test is then taken to show the exact horse power developed at the rear wheels from low speed to the best the car can do. Following this gasometer test is taken to show the amount of slippage of un- exploded gasoline past the pistons, caus- ing loss of power and dilution of oil. A record sheet is made and given to the motorist, who is invited to return for a second test after his car has been driven a few hundned miles. Specific recommendations are furnished the car owner by the engineer conducting the test as to what grade of oil is best suited to his car, how often the oil in the .crankcase should be drained, in other words a real oil prescription"
