C. Howard, sales manager of the Cadillac Motor Car Company. "Their enthusiasm over these latest Cadillac products was most gratifying. Almost without exception the dealers have placed orders for more cars than ever before—which speaks better for the reception the car has had from the men in the Jleld than anything I might say.

Chandler Six Makes New Economy Record 26.03 miles on. one carefully meas ured gallon of gasoline from a special one-gallon tank is a new record for j economy recently made by a seven i passenger Chandler stock touring model, which has been run 5,000 miles. Starting at the Rochester city lim its, the Chandler was nut over the road to Canandalgua, New York, with Barney Crane at the wheel and ac companied by R. H. Houston, pt Chi j cago, an engineer of the Rayfield Car [ buretor company. The car came to a stop as the gas | ran out just a mile west of Canandai ! gua. It was estimated that it could j have been run on into this town had it not been for a bad detour with a i soft dirt road which proved a big gas \ consumer. j It is not an unheard of thing for certain very light cars to get as great i mileage out of their gasoline as this, | but for a big six-cylinder seven-pas senger machine which has been run 5.000 miles to show such light fuel i consumption Is regarded as sensation- I al by the entire automobile engineer | ing fraternity. "We averaged on the whole trip I from 25 to 27 and 30 miles an hour," i said Mr. Houston in speaking of the j Chandler's low gas consumption. "Slowing down to five miles an hour with two inspection trips aloug the road and hitting It up to 51 miles an hour lust to demonstrate the gas con sumption under pressure.' WINS RACE AND 517,600 BUT GOES BACK TO WORK When John Aitken captured the op ening event on the Cincinnati Speed way, outdistancing all competitors in the 300-mile contest, one might over look his "knocking off" for a -while to rest and calm down from the ex citement, especially when he also won such a neat bank account as thirteen thousand dollars. But Aitken is im mune to the thrills of racing, having ; been in it up to ears for many ! years. After the race he immediately caught a train for Indianapolis and next morning was back at the Na tional factories. He is considered one of the best men In the automobile in dustry in experimental departments, and fills such a position at Indian apolis with the company building Na tional Highway Sixes and Twelves. | His long racing career has been an unusually good opportunity to study ! and test motor-mechanisms and has i qualified him as an expert to trans i late what the race track teaches into service for cars of private owners. His ' work in an experimental lane and in testing, was largely responsible for the early developments of the Nation al Twelve-cylinder engine two years ago. Again on Saturday of the same week Aitken took down $4,600 for | three straight firsts on the Indian apolis Speedway, making a total of $17,600 for one week's work*As after the Cincinnati race.

Cole Makes Remarkable Mountain Road Records After covering a route from the edge of the blue Pacific to a mile Into tlio sky and combating almost every conceivable sort of road conditions, two Long Beach, Cal., men drove into the camp at Pine Crest, in the San Bernardino Mountains, on a recent Sunday morning after smashing nearly all the Southland's valley mountain road records. Driving a stock Cole eight, a car that has created new standards in the automobile world, the two pilots, H. B. Palms and H. H. Hunter, of the Palms Motor Company, covered the near 95 miles from Long Beach to the mountain camp in the record-breaking time of 3 hours and 3 !■•> minutes. Their trip was simply to show the public the efficiency of their car. lieduced to minutes, their time for the wonderful performance was 183 minutes over a route 94.7 miles long, or an average over both mountain and valley roads of a mile every time the second hands of the watch ticked to 60 twice. With Third street and American avenue in Long Beach as their starting point, the drivers were checked out by a committee consisting of W. N. Mathews, C. H. Harding, Long Beach newspapermen. As the flag dropped for the "go" the stop watches regis tered just 30 seconds after S o'clock. At 8.04, barely more than three hours afterward, the car pulled Into Pine Cvest, welcomed by the shouts of many campers, all of whom knew of the attempt to achieve a record of dis tinction in Southern California auto circles. . At the mountain camp the car was checked out by a committee consisting of Paul M. Entermann, W. F. Berry and S. Stone, who signed a statement certifying to the time of the arrival and the registration of the speed ometer, which showed a total distance of 54.7 miles had been traveled. While the clear early morning sky brought hopes of splendid atmospheric conditions throughout the trip, the drivers experienced their first big set -1 back from bad weather as soon as they reached the Bixby hill on the Long Beach boulevard. There they were met by a great fog bank, into which they drove for nearly twenty-five miles. The roadway was rendered slippery by the moisture, while the fog obscured their vision so that extra care and precaution, as well as lower speed than planned, were necessary to avoid any mishap. Near Downey a detour of about live miles was necessitated from a combination of a washout and road building, while to offset this bad IUCK | at Fassett, on the valley road, the fog j clouds lifted and the problems of the , drivers were simplified. Arriving in San Bernardino in 1 hour and 57 minutes, a distance of 70 miles as shown by their speedometer, the pilots stopped for seven minutes to take on oil and inspect their car. From San Bernardino to Pine Crest i over a mountain road is a climb of i 4.2 00 feet in altitude in a distance of ; 17 miles over thoroughfares which pre i sent grades t rannring from 5 to 23 per [ cent. This portion of the drive was made in 57 minutes. t The drivers made the trip in two re- Mays, Mr. Hunter, being at. the wheel | from Long- Beach to San Bernardino, I while Mr. Palms took the car over the mountain roads of the switchback. Beth faced conditions -which would ! have been the Waterloo of many good I drivers, but took their car through on j record time. Commenting on the splendid show ing of the dole eight, Mr. Palms said: "I consider this particular perform ance of the Cole eight as being with out a par in the Southland. It was not our performance—the credit belongs to the car because of its splendid rec ords for both endurance and speed. The car used on the trip was simply a stock car. the kind that you and John Jones buy when you walk into our salesroom and decide to let a Cole take you home. On the whole trip we never used low gear, making the heavy grades of the switchback on inter mediate or high. On arrival at the camp one of the checkers put his face to the radiator and found it just barely warm. But one quart of water was used, and that was obtained at ou" Bowman's are local agents for the Ci'le eight. ! point of destination in the mountains." Willis Will Have Charge of Metz in Pennsylvania W. B. Willis, well known in local automobile circles, has been made manager of Metz sales In Pennsyl vania. with headquarters In Phila delphia. This announcement was made last week by Director of Sales R. A. Pickens, who was here from the Waltham, Mass., factory of the company. The call for Metz cars has been so great In this State during the past few months, that it was only with the utmost effort that it could be supplied. With the high cost of gasoline, motor ists turned to the economical Metz car in Increasing numbers and the de mand Is still growing. Mr. Willis will have complete charge of the dealers in Pennsylvania and will take special pains to see that their patrons get prompt delivery on Metz models. The cars will be ship ped to Philadelphia In large lots and distributed from there. In conjunction with the new plan of distribution, the company announc es the opening of four Metz service stations in Philadelphia. This insures Metz owners of a high standard of service. "It was found that the Metz com pany can better serve the public through subdealers, than through a branch," declared Mr. Willis yester day. "By having a Pennsylvania headquarters we shall be in a posi tion to come in closer contact with Metz owners and render them that su perior service that is the policy of the Metz company." "The desire for extreme flexibility, smoothness of motion, great endur ance, lowest cost of operation and beauty of coach work that motorcar buyers are now demanding, has cre ated a desire for the Metz that re quires full time at the factory to fill. The fact that Metz stands alone among automobiles with a gcarless transmission is a most important fac tor in Its popularity. 4 Retail Auto Business Undergoes Big Change Among the different branches of the automobile business which have op ened up golden opportunities for thou sands of men. that of the retail dealer •■tarrds out prominently as one of the most remunerative vocations connect ed with the industry. "The salo of motorcars at retail of fers opportunities for making a blg arer return on the money invested ! than almost any other business," is ; the opinion of J. R. W.

"The result was that after the deal er had sold a car he pocketed his commission and promptly forgot his customer. When the car came back for repairs the owner was Informed that it would take weeks or months to secure a new part from the factory. "To-day, the whole-system of selling motorcars is changed. The successful dealer pays strict attention to his cus tomers' wants. Service has developed into one of the most important fac tors in the business and the modern up-to-date dealer sees to It that a suf ficient stock of parts is carried to en able him to take care of any repairs quickly and economically." Miller Rubber Company Issues Factory Paper One of the factors that has had much to do with the remarkable ef ficiency of automobile and tire fac tories is the strictly modern spirit of co-operation between employer and employe. In no other hranoh of in dustry is this spirit of co-operation moro marked. Departments are main tained which are held responsible for the moral, physical and intellectual betterment of employes. This nat urally and inevitably results in bet ter products and more efficient hard liner of them. In a recent interview with the ef ficiency department of the Miller Rubber company, Akron, Ohio, mak ers of Miller Geared-to-the-Road tires, it was found that this company is among the formost in this work. One feature Is especially worthy of note. A few weeks ago bulletins were circulated throughout the Miller fac tory that an eight-page monthly pa ?>cr *.vn.a about to be issnod, strictly for factory Employes.
