A. Lock wood Motor Co., lo cal Ford distributor. Model "A" Ford No. 1283 is a tudor sedan yet It lowered the record between these two cities by nearly two hours and set the un precedented average speed lo Phoenix of 58.21 miles per hour, lu view of the fact that the previous record had been established by an open car especially prepared for the ruu, the sensational dash of this strictly stock uedau Is even more Impressive. It was driven by amaleur driven who were none too familiar with the road and who had never had experience In fast road driving. The entire 910-mlle run was made without mechanical repair of any description although 1J T& v.jCA,V li at limes Ihr roads were m rough that the occupants were throwu from their seats and within a few hours the car was subjected to more severe shocks and strains than the average car would en counter In Its entire lifetime. After completing the historic dush to Phoenix and return, Model "A" Ford No. lUN.'I made u gru elling 600-mlle speed test at Muroc Dry Lake In the Mojave desert. At the time tho run was made, the lake-bed was in far from perfect condition due to recent rains and It was necessary to lay out a kid ney Hhaped course to avoid pot holes of WHter and soft dirt. In spite of the fact that there were el. lit turns in the six mile course and that full power was delivered from both rear wheels at the same lime Tor only one mile In six. Mod el "A" Ford No. ls:i completed the GoO inlle run at an average speed of till.fil miles per hour.

The climb over the National Old Trails and Swardout Valley highways is con sidered one of the stlffest tests In southern California. The road rises from the level valley to an eleva tion of tjSti feet at the entrance of the camp. In one stretch, 5.7 miles In length, la a rise of 3,075 feet. Model "A" Ford No. lliNII was sealed in high gear at Sun Her nardino and negotiated the .'Pi. 11 mile pull without difficulty.

Whatever I will say wll be said at the confer ence, because I want to make a comprehensive comment. I am not going to make myself foolish by saying such things as 'speculative' or 'interesting' or some such silly things." VETERANS PICK OFFICERS AND END SESSION (Continued from page 1) due tor; Mattlo Clark, Rend, guard; Ida Covell, Albany, assistant1 Kuard. The veterans passed several Im portant resolutions. One gave sup port to the f:t,m0 bonus law, pro posed as an amendment to the slate constitution, whereby veter ans of ull wars, who havo been residents of the statu for a period of ten years, regardless of tho State from which they enlisted, would be entitled lo the benefits of tho state loan, now open only to veterans w ho en lis ted from ( )re gnu. Another resolution favors an increase lu the federal allowance for veterans in soldiers' homes. It was pointed out that the allowance of Slo made by the government is not sufficient to pay the govern ment's proportionate cost of sup porting these veterans, as the in creased cost or living has made it impossible to maintain the homes on the previous basis without an additional burden upou the stale. A resolution was also adopted fav oring passage by congress of the pension bill Tor Spanish war veter ans. The usual resolution of thanks for local hospitality was passed. 18th Amendment Attacked ' An effort was made to Introduce a resolution protesting the present methods of enforcement of tho 18th amendment claiming that the daily killings through "ill-advised, nets of enforcement agencies' is becoming "a national sham--and menace," A heated argument oc curred, resulting In the chair rul ing the resolution out of order as a political Issue and, therefore, barred from consideration by the organization. Bend was selected as the site for the convention lo be held lu 11K10. Following (he conclusion of I ho business at the morning session, the veterans and ladies, this after noon, paid au official visit to the Oregon Soldiers' Home, where an Inspection was directed by Com mander Starmer, who, by resolu tion, was highly praised by the veterans for his efficient manas. inent of the state Institution. The anuual frolic of the Military Order of ttje Serpent lust night provided a great deul of entertain ment Tor the residents of the city. The parade was held at U o'clock, the members, garbed in the most outlandish fashions, being preced ed by the Umpuua post drum corps and a "haywire" band. One group supported a huge snake, while the candidates were subjected to vari ous "tortures" as the torchlight parade made Its way along the' streets. . Following the parade the degree work and initiation were staged at the tilks temple. The veterans expressed tlieni selves as being delighted with Roseburg hospitality, and 'pro nounced the convention one of the1 best the department has ever held, Model "A" Ford No. 1183 which hattrrcd Phoenix Lot Angeles road rrcorda by l hour nd 39 minutes.

Official Japa nese circles today were relieved and gratified that Nanking had re plied to the soviet ultimatum in a manner considered conciliatory, officials today expressed confi dence that war would be avoided and any Japanese action remain unnecessary. Mob Storms Embassy MOSCOW, July ;7.--Moseow rang until an early hour today with popular protests and demon strations against the Chinese gov ernment, despite announcement of what was considered a coicilii lory communique from the Nank ing government. Russians and Chinese expatri ates stormed the Chinese embassy, throwing eggs, sticks- and stones, and smashing window panes. War helmeted, heavily armed regiments of "caypayour" (secret police) cavalry, and infantry were hard put to preserve order. Inside the embassy tho demon stration, which increased in in tensity as night went ou, caused i panic among tiie staff of 2u or more who huddled together In one of .tho rooms in suspense. They were worn, pale and haggard with hollow cheeks and sunlueu .eyes from want of sleep. Sia Wen Sun, the Chinese di plomatic representative, told the correspondent, he had had not left the embassy for two days and had not slept for two nignt.t, cab ling message after message with the hope of some word which would relieve their suspense. He iald he was never more glad lo set a visitor. The Tass agency, official Rus sian news source, issued the fol lowing: "Friends of peace breath- d freer when the Chiueue diplo matic representative here submit ted to the foreign office a concilia tory communique from Nanking." 1 1 The "fifth wheel," an accurate speed measuring device, has proved that Pontiae has the highest top speed and the fastest accelera tion available in any low-priced six.
