OTHER ROADs-oTHeR CARS

In the last q years the auto.
mobile has developed as much
travel distance in one hour as it
formerly bad in one day, says
the Arizona Highway.
This is indicated in the com
parison of the first trip across
the continent from New York to
Los Angeles, as compared With
the latest shattering of the
record by "Cannouball" Baker.
The first trip across the cont
inent was made by Tom Fetch
in 1903 and required 81 days.
The last record trip was $3.50
miles between the metropolis of
the east coast and that of the
west coast and was made in so
hours and 81 minutes clipping
the existing record almost seve q
hours. An average speed Of
50 90 miles an hour was register
ed and an average distance of
12SU miles was MADE 3 Gay.
There have been many chan
ges since Tom Fetch's epoch
making trip. Many of the coun
try dirt roads of his day have
been changed to boulevards.
Automobiles have been improv.
ed to a high point mechanically,
so that the usual trouble of early
days is q thing of the past.
within a few years the average
touring radius for a day has in
creased by a hundred miles.
Many motorists who used to
think $50 miles in day was
tine travelling, now will average
800 miles and have plenty of
time to sleep.
