Whippet Stamina
Exhibited Again,

With the Whippet nearing the end
Of it's 18th month Oh the market,
during which time it has set
standard Of performance that has
never before been cqualed in the
light four cylinder field, comes word
of another outstanding stamina ac-
complishment.
A. +. Elmore and Vernon Gipson,
both Of indianapolis, left that city
recently, in a Whippet sedan, head
ing the nose Of this smart car to.
wards tn Pacific Coast. The start
was made from the Hoosier capital
without any thought in the minds of
either of breaking any records-it
was merely to be a cross country
trip.
However, just IS and one-half
hours driving time were required to
bring the car into the city limits Of
Los Angeles, distance Of 2,442
miles in all. To accomplish this the
Whippet sedan had to maintain an
average speed Of more than 33 miles
an hour from the midwest to the
far off Pacific Coast city.
1--WE used 100 gallons Of gasoline
or an average Of % miles a gallon"
Mr.. Elmore said. Our total oil con-
sumption was one and one-half gal
Ions. Although we struck some bad
stretches of roads we had no mechan-
ical trouble, and aside from three
punctures we had no delays"

Long Awaited Ford
Is Now a Reality

The long and anxiously awaited
New Ford Car is reality and will
presently be in the hands OF the
thousands who signified their faith
in Henry Ford through placing their
orders sight unseen: as we'll as
those who deferred purchase OF any
car until the advent Of Model a."
But the New Ford Car" is scarce
" the adequate way in which to re-
fer to what is rather a new era in
the automotive world.
For all Ford dealers this new car
means offering to the immense for
mer Ford market q product vastly
superior to Model L which won its
leadership on quality. And 1T means
the opening OF new market hith-
erto believed by some to be beyond
reach. This is certain for the rea-
son that the New Ford Car is capa-
BILE Of phases OF performance that
no other car could attempt.
Recently at Dearborn the technt-
cal editor of one OF the leading mo-
tor magazines was given ride in
the new car. Along level stretches
the car flew at more than 60 miles
an hour. Then it took to rough
fields and roads filled with deep
ruta holes aud bitches such as 1t
would appear that no car could ne
gotiate at any speed. The new car
took these at up to so miles IN
hour. 1t seemed TO defy all natural
laws; held itself IN its four wheels
when it appeared that it must over
turn IL gravitation is reality;
whirled around curves without 4
skid and allowed its passengers to
sit in physical ease, however dis
turbed they might be in mind with
apprehension or catastrophe that
came not.

Chevrolet Has Most
Successful Year

Nearing the close of the most
successful year in it's history, and
with it's position outstanding as the
worlds largest builder of gear shift
cars and trucks, the Chevrolet Mo-
tor company this week rounded out
its 10th year Of existence.
Named for Louis Chevrolet, we'll
known race driver of an earlier
decade and active figure during the
infancy Of the automotivc industry,
the Chevrolet Motor company OF
Michigan was organized on Novem-
Der 3, 1911.
That year five cars were built.
This year one million cars will be
built-more than the combined out
put for the first II years of the
con1pany's existence.
That first year handful OF men
worked in an obscure factory at
West Grand Boulevard and the Via
duct, Detroit, to turn out mostly by
hand methods those first five cars.
Today more than 100000 people are
directly employed in producing,
selling and servicing Chevrolet cars.
Today eleven great factorics-cx-
elusive Of export operations-arc
running to capacity to meet the de-
mand Of Chevrolets infinitely super
Tor to, and listing at onc-fourth the
cost Of those first cars.
The Royal Mail" and "Baby
Grand" models brought Chevrolet
wide popularity in the early days,
but the "49O" model, so namel be-
cause it is listed at $49p. placed the
company definitely in the field as
a volume producer Of motor cars.
That was in 1915. That year 70,70l
cars were built.

The slogan by which it was introduce

been one of the most potent reasons
for tn remarkable success which it
has achieved, for with the public's
recognition that Dodge Brothers four

ability to make IS miles to the gal

proved substantial arguments in
their favor"

TRAFF|CSURvEY
ANALYSIS BEGINS
New Figures viii Show How
Public Takes to Con-
tr0lIed Streets.

ANALYSIS of the results of the traffic
count taken recently at 400 important
street intersections in the District un-
der the direction of the traffic depart
ment was started today by Trafhc
Director William II. Harland.
The new figures will be compared
es far as possible with those gathered
two years ago by the Bureau of
Public Roads. which made a traffic
count similar to that taken last
month. though not as comprehensive.
BY studying and comparing these
ta.,~,.....-.,s .-Ir. Harland hopes to
formulate data witch will be useful
in determining future automatic traf'
fic light installations. The informa-
ton also is expected to be helpful to
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission in connection with
its plans for developing a greater
Washington.
The comparative study also will re-
veal to some extent whether traffic is
avoiding the automatic control thor
oughfares. A comparison of figures
at nine different points on Sixteenth
street, Massachusetts avenue and
Rhode Island avenue shows that the
number of vehicles using these streets
since tn. count was taken two years
ago ha" e decreased, except with one
possih; exception.
Tive years ago Sixteenth street
above Scott Circle carried 1858 vehi-
cles. t;hile the latest tabulation showed
that the number of vehicles which
passed over it in the same number
of hours totaled 1873. Above Column
bia road the figure two years ago is
1881, compared with 2.136 this year.
Other observation points along the
Hght-controlled streets, the vehicles
counted two years ago and those
counted this year, follow:
Massachusetts avenue at Twelfth
street-2.371 in 1925 and 2,096 in
1927.
At Fifteenth street and Massa-
chusetts avenue-2.034 in 1925 and
1,701 in 1927.
Seventeenth street and Massa-
chusetts avenue-2,666 in 1925 and
1928 in 1927.
Massachusetts avenue east of
Dupont Circle-3,123 in 1925 and LAOS
in 1927.

necticut avenue and Sixteenth street

teenth and Fourteenth streets-3,3S6
