This bill sought to define gasoline and to fix a standard of quality and would have increased the cost to motorists had it passed. The bill was fought in the legislature by John W.

Local numbers of the Willys-Overland are enthusiastic over the news received yesterday that the 'overland model 90, popularly known a America's Thrift Car. has Just established a new world's record for a non-stop run with gear sealed in high1.

According to the information received by Manager 11. 1. Knudson, the car traveled 4.170.1 miles in 168 hours of running, exceeding the next best record, which has stood since 1916, by nearly 1200 miles. The test was made over roads near Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and the remarkable feature of the run was that tho Overland drivers av-averaged 624. .1 miles per day, which is considerable of an average.

"It must be remembered that this distance is equal to a cross-continent trip from New York to San Francisco and back to Oklahoma again," said Knudson, commenting on the new Overland record, "and that furthermore the run was made without a gear change or an engine stop. "The average on gasoline was 20.65 miles for each gallon of gas and It was gasoline of a 59 test. The previous American Automobile Association record for a 24-hour non-stop run was 587 miles."

"How have they been able to do It?" Naturally that will be the question on the lips of the collective motoring public when it reads the announcement that the Hudson Motor Car Company is putting out a new and improved Super-Six at a much lowered price. "At the mammoth Detroit plant of the Hudson Motor Car Company." said Harry A. Oliphant, sales manager of the H. O. Harrison Company of Oakland, local dealers in Hudson, Essex and Dodge Brothers cars, "more than 76,000 square feet 'have been added to the million square feet of manufacturing space, in preparation to turn out 40,000 cars valued at $56,000,000 during the year.

Hudson production this year will be twice as large as in 1918. "In getting ready for the building of this number of curs, the greatest in the history of the company, masses of supplies of all kinds had to be accumulated, so that production lines could be continuously op-aratad at their hiirhattL- itf iuianav An Abundance of Evidence TKe New -171 -T. -ft i. v. a w3 JSSa 1 tf Vif Today the value of material alone on hand is more than 6,000,000.

square inch of the plant, covers twenty-six acres, has been filled and the overflow has been stacked in great heaps in the yards. "At the same time more than $600,000 worth of the latest machinery was installed and is now in operation. The huge building constructed to turn out shells for the government has been converted into different departments for the exclusive use of the new Essex 'wonder "All the additional equipment Is noted for its completeness and the many new and exclusive ideas in engineering practice which have been incorporated. The Hudson factory is one of the very finest manufacturing plants in the automotive industry; to this perfection of detail and the ideal working conditions provided for employees is due much of the reputation for high-class workmanship which has helped to make the Super-Six the most popular fine car in the world." FEW EXPRESS OR DRAYING CONCERNS RESORT TO THE OLD-FASHIONED HORSE-drawn equipment. Progressive firms are adopting speedy motor trucks similar to this powerful Pierce Arrow which is owned by the Kellogg Express Co.

This season a number of familie have toured to California In their cars, using the Sedan instead of the touring car, and among the most Interesting trips was that made by II. C. Mahon of Kansas City.

Mahnn drove a Dort Sedan from Kansas City to Orange, California. There were five grown people, two children and more than 2'iU pounds of baggage in the Dort Sedan. Muddy roads, snow and ice were among the difficulties encountered during the trip.

If a battery is constantly used in an undercharged condition the process of deterioration becomes more and more rapid and may result in the battery being ruined.

"With the free inspection service offered by the Willard service stations and their willingness to make suggestions for the proper care and use of the electrical equipment on a car, there is 'BUY, BUY BONDS' URGES DIAMOND TIRE DEALER "A great many people seem to think that because the war is over our responsibility has ended, and we need not subscribe to the Victory lion," according to M. H. Granfield of the Granfield-Bas-tnn Tire and Supply Company.

E. Fetter, local agent for the Wll-Iard Storage Battery Company, (Auto Electric Service Company), suurgeHts thf following pointers on care of the electrical system on a motor car. "Every time you operate your self-starter ot- use your electric lights while the engine is not running, a certain amount of energy is taken from your storage battery'- This energy must be restored in some way or other. For this purpose, a modern car carries an electric generator which puts back into the battery the current which has been taken out, to operate the, lights and starter. "This generator must run at charging speed for several minutes in order to create the same amount of electrical energy that is consumed by the electric starter in a few seconds.

Therefore, considerable care should be In starting your car In order not to let the results from his starting and lighting very little excuse for battery ignorance.

"It would be an easy thing for-the government to double tax everything and raise the money in this way, but our government offers not only to pay back the principal but also a good rate of interest with it. Therefore I think it is up to us all to stand behind such a government." A Trap in Fuel Line Is Needed for Gas Many cars have no provision aside from a strainer in the tank for keeping out dirt from the carbureter.

Owners of such vehicles will do well to fit a trap in the fuel line. All the big carbureter maker-offer these traps, which are to be placed In the line near the carbureter or in the bottom of the tank. The trap catches all the dirt and water and should be cleaned out regularly once a month. time before it starts. "Ordinarily a motor should start on a very few turns In warm weather and unless It does, something is probably wrong with the gas or the Ignition.

Be careful to see that you have gasoline in the tank and always set the gas spark properly before trying to start. Release the starter button as soon as the "motor begins to turn on Its own power, because as long as the starter button is pressed down, the starting motor Is taking current from the battery.
