HARTZ DRIVER CHRYSLER ON ECONOMY RUN Coupe Crosses Continent With 18.1-Miles-a-Gallon Record. The same Airflow Chrysler Imperial coupe that set seventy-two new closed stock car speed records at Booneviile. Utah, on Aug. 12 and It, has completed an economy run from Los Angeles to New York with an average of 18 1 miles to the gallon of gasoime. The car was driven by Harry Hariz on its transcontinental trip, with Elbert ißabei Stapp as alternate. Lre Oldfield, representing the American Automobile Association contest board, accompanied the car as observer. The figure for gasoline mileage is the one announced by Mr. Oldfield In his official capacity. Figures on the run were announced by C. H. Wailerich of the C. H. Wailerich Company, 950 North Meridian street. Chrysler distributor, based on data filed with W. D. Edenbum. Detroit regional director of the American Automobile Association contest board. Covered 3.073 Miles The Chrysler left Los Angeles at 2:15 p. m. Wednesday. Aug. 22. and arrived at the terminus of its trip, the salesroom of Simons-Stew art <fc Cos., Inc., Broadway at Fifty-sixth street. New York, at 10 Monday morning. Aug. 27. The trip, covering 3,075 miles, was made at an average apeed of approximately fortytwo miles an hour actual running time. No attempt was made for high speed, as the trip was intended to approximate the kind of driving an owner would do on a cross-country run. The gasoline record of 18.1 miles a gallon Is a remarkable one for a car of this size, with an engine developing 130-horse power and piston displacement of 323.5 cubic inches. Two Points Proved The economy of fuel was another striking proof of the value of the airflow design In diminishing wind resistance and of the Chryslfr automatic overdrive in conserving gasoline and oil. as well as prolonging engine life through the reduction of the engine revolutions needed to produce a given car speed. The engine was equipped with a 7.4 to 1 compression head, as this equipment had been installed to make the speed runs at an altitude of 4.360 feet, and it was the company's desire to use exactly the same equipment for both sped and economy tests. On his arrival at New York, Mr. Hartz received the personal congratulations of Walter P. Chrysler on his recent achievements for the Chrysler Sales Corporation.

Youth Asks Little More Auto Speed Than Adults

Survey Shows Difference of Only 3.7 Miles Between Groups. •The youth of America could hardly be called •speed-crazy’," according to H. G- Weaver, director.; customer research staff. General Motors Corporation. “This assertion is based on an analysis of owner reactions, gathered during the past year through the mailing of over 2.000.000 questionnaires to car owners in all sections of the country.” he explained. * - A breakdown of the data on an age basis makes it possible to compare the tastes and desires of youth with those of adults." Mr. weaver continues: “Our analysis shows that the younger generation wants a top cruising speed only three and seventenths miles an hour greater than that voted for by adults. “It is interesting too to note that the general subject of safety was stressed more frequently by youth than by the grown-ups. although the point was frequently made by both groups that an extra margin of speed and pick-up is essential to safety in coping with modem traffic conditions. “The most outstanding point of difference between the young and the adult group is that an over- . whelming majority of the boys and \girls want radios in their cars and lit was pointed out over and over Again that radio equipment makes yor slower, safer driving. As one college chap expressed it. ‘even the fastest kind of fox trot doesn't blend nicely with a speed of more than fifty miles an hour, and with waltz .time I find myself slowing down to forty or less’. “Youth has always been more Interested in questions of automobile design than older persons, and during the Pat three or four years our surveys prove that this interest is growing more and more Intense. “Today we are getting higher than 40 per cent returns from some of the lists of younger motorists to whom e have sent questionnaires. This, we believe, is anew all-time record for surveys of this character. And as further evidencing the growing interests of youth m the general subject of motor cars, we have, during the past seven months, received requests for more than 100,000 copies of The Automobile Buyer s Guide' from young people's organizations, including Fisher Craftsman's Guild

TIRES RECEIVE RIGIOTESTING U. S. Rubber Cos. Tries Out Product Under All Conditions. Sixtv-three million tire miles, a distance equal to 2.520 times around the earth or 131 trips to the moon and back, will be covered by the U. S. Rubber Company this year in testing tires. "We have to use astronomical distances to picture the enormous amount of testing to which U. S. tires are subjected before they are placed in the hands of the public, according to J. R. McCoy, Indianapolis branch mapager. "This year we will do more testing than ever before. "Our schedule calls for 63,781.000 tire miles to be run in 1934. These tests will be made in the laboratory and on the road. They will involve the use of tires on passenger cars, trucks and buses. They will be made

Colonel Rokcoe Tomer and his 1.000-horse power Rinjrfree lubricated speed piane at United airport. Burbank. Cai.. Just before takeoff on his record-smashing ten-hour flight to New York.

Four miles a minute, 2,465 miles in 10 hours 2 minutes 51 seconds! From Lot Angeles to New York from dawn to sunset—with time to spare! Thus on Sept. 1 Colonel Roscoe Turner and his Ring-Free lubricated 1.000-horse power ship again shortened the already unbelievable time across the continent. This amazing record was made in spite of almost continuous storms and head winds. Colonel Turner shot his speed ship into the air just as dawn was breaking over United airport. Burbank. Cal. A little more than two hours later he was In Albuquerque, N. M. He was at Wichita. Kan. at 11 a. m.. and he arrived at Cleveland airport In a blinding rain at 2:30 the same afternoon, taking off eight minutes later for the final 405-mile lap to New York, which he qpvered in 1 hour, 27 minutes!

District Manager Serves Goodrich Twenty Years

I over every kind of road surface ! known. “Thorough testing, all the way | from raw material to finished product, is the policy of our company. It is the company’s way of maintaining quality and constantly improving it. Such exhaustive tests contribute substantially to the position of U. S. tires in the realm of safety and long life." •GARAGETERIA’ PROFITS Motorists Do Own Repair Work in Shop at Omaha. A “garageteria,” ii/ which customers do all repair work themselves, with the exception of the most intricate jobs, using equipment supplied by the company, was started in Omaha in 1933 and has been doing a steadily increasing business ever since. Car Buyers Like Black Black remains the predominant color choice of new car buyers.

i Or this flight, as on his preious : record-breaking trip from Los Angeles to New York last fall. Colonel Turner used revolutionary RingFree motor oil to give him maximum speed and power. And here is his comment: “Ring-Free motor oil stood up under the most terrific beating in mv 1.000-horse power Pratt & Whitney Hornet today with remarkable results. The consumption is much less on both my planes than any other I have ever used. There is no equal and I hope I will always be able to obtain Ring-Free motor oil wherever I go. Trust you have placed it in proper places for my race from London to Australia.” Colonel Turner uses identically the same Ring-Free oil sold by Independent dealers, the same oil used by Lou Moore, when he finished high among the winners at the last Indianapolis Speedway race.

BUICK DEALER ' GROUPJSROWS Largest Organization in Company’s History Numbers 2,717. The Buick Motor Company is pre--pared to meet the activity of ths fall selling campaign with the largest dealer organization in its history, W. L. Pavlovski, manager of the Indianapolis zone, announces. The dealer organization has passed the 2,700 mark, he stated, which represents a gain of 490 since Jan. 1, and there are now 267 more

dealers than in 1929. He said that several new dealers have been added in Indiana. There are now 2,717 Buick dealers in the United States, he asserted. and they have delivered a p p r oximately $43,600,000 worth of Buicks in the first six months of 1934. This is the fourth larg-

Mr. Pavlovski

est dollar volume of business for the entire automobile industry and it is exceeded only by the three lowest priced makes of cars. “The steady expansion of the Buick dealer organization in the last year is one of the straws showing the way the economic wind is blowing,” he declared, “and it Is a tribute to the product that the Buick Motor Company Is marketing." Mr. Pavlovski attributes much of the growth of the dealer organization to introduction of the new lower priced Series 40 Buick which has enabled dealers to reach customers hitherto excluded from Buick ownership by reason of price.

MISSING GIRL DEAD IS FEAR OF SEARCHERS ' Daughter of College Head Absent Since Aug. 10 in West. I By United Press PINEDALE. Wyo., Sept. 12. Grave fears for the life of Virginia Ewing Gates were expressed today I as authorities pressed their search j for the daughter of Thomas S. ! Gates, president of the University j of Pennsylvania. Miss Gates has not been seen or [ heard from since she "went for a stroll” Aug. 10 at a “dude” ranch, forty miles northwest of here. Department of justice agents have been called in to aid other officers in an attempt to trace the Philadelphia girl's whereabouts. Her father is a former partner of J. P. Morgan & Cos. Three theories concerning her disappearance were held today: 1. She became lost in the densely wooded "hole in the wall'’ country surrounding the ranch. She was wearing a man's shirt, corduroy trousers and moccasin boots when she left her horse with a D. C. Bar Ranch hand the afternoon of Aug. 10 and told him she was ‘‘going for a stroll.” 2. She left the ranch Aug. 14 for a. pre-arranged meeting with a Philadelphia boy which Sheriff W. D. Holt of Sublette said she had been sent to Wyoming to forget, and will notify her family in time. 3. She has, as her family has insisted, been motoring leisurely from the ranch to Philadelphia, neglecting to notify her family of her whereabouts.

New High Mark Attained in Selling Oldsmobiles

Gain of 137 Per Cent in August Best Showing Since 1929. “Oldsmobile retail sales during August were 137 per cent greater than for the same month last year,” according to L. C. Burnett, zone manager for Oldsmobile. “This unusual increase in sales during August sets anew a.l-time record for oldsmobile,’’ Mr. Eurnett stated. “Retail sales in August even exceeded those for the same month in 1929, which was the biggest previous year in Oldsmobile’s history. Since the introduction of the six in the early part of March, sales have been steadily increasing, as evidenced by the fact that sales for the last ten days of August were greater than in any ten-day period so far this year.
