OVERLAND STARTS . TODAY ON DASH TO THE COAST Ejpoch Making Demonstration to be Made in RelayRun on Highway. NEW TOllK. July 19 The official route of the Overland transcontinental test for stamina and economy has 1 een announced. The car will follow thaV main Lincoln Highway from New York City to San Francisco. It will leave New York at midnight Suncay. July ISth.

The route will take the car through

i i..iaur,(u. iiarrisnurg, l'it ts burgh, j Canton. Fort Wayne, Chicago Heights.!

t f(tar J.apirls. Tes Moines, Omaha, North Platte. Clioynne. Rock Springs. Snlt Iake City, Iteno and Sacramento-, The surprising feature of the test is thfl fact that the stock car chosen for th run will be driven for the most I firft by drivers who have had no previous experience with thi. car. Ai the car .approaches the territory of an Overland distributor it will be turned (er to a man selectedby the distributor in that territory who will drive to trie line of his neighboring distribu-t'-r;.4 territory. Thus the car will be fjbjeoted to wide variety in methods cf driving and its gasoline and oil consumption record can be freelv accepted as a record which any careful driver c'u'a attain. Observers will trail the standardeottir.g Overland in another car. The Overland will then be relayed fioross the United States, a differen' driver taking the wheel in arfl 0vfr. land distributor's territory traversed This relay driving is a tiw feature !n automobile runs. The territorv of at least Cr, Overland distributors "will be crossed. This will provide at least - different drivers for the car. Noncf these men will ever befor- have rat at the wheel of this Overland. No two men drive al.ke. The importance of the test, therefore, will be a demonstration cf what the average driver c Kid expect to ei in low-cost opert:m in a 3.3o0 mile drive, taking mm t irough all conditions of weather and over roads that vary from the a,phalt c.. cJty streets to treaeherniis mountain trails. The hlghly-sTtilled, and expert contest r.nver'9 ability to get an extra miie from the last drops of gasoline will be replaced in this run by the common fortunes of the average motorist. Tfce Overland run is expected to answer several questions of Immediate Interest to the nuto public. First: How much.gas will be needed to carry this car in a run almost equal to a year's usage by the average driver? Second : How much oil will be needed properly to lubricate the mechanism ari keep it. as far as lubrication can. trouble-free? 'Third: Isn't It true that the light car has now been so developed ond perfected that It is not only ideal for quick handling and economical Ute In the tancled city traffic but th'it It also has all the Ftamina necessary for the roughest trans-continental travel with no sacrifice of its economy advantages?
