MILWAUKEE AFTER SPEEDERS
Motorcycle Cops Have Busy Time
at AVisconsin Metropolis.
MILWAUKEE, Wis.. Nov. 12.
While the motorcycle police force of
this city demonstrated its efficiency
in more ways than one long- ago, last
Sunday it proved its competency be
yond all doubL On that day, the force
made the largest catch of speeders
ever made in a single day in the city's
history.
Thirty-six transgressors of the law
were bagged, and on Monday morn
ing all 33 defendants paid $1042.76 to
the clerk of the court. One motor
cycle policeman alone captured 12 of
the 36 speeders at one time bagging
two simultaneously. Police are warn
ing; motorists that traffic rules will
be- strictly enforced. Twenty-three
motorcycle policemen are on the force
at the present time.

1000-Mile Endurance Run Made
on San Francisco Speedway
Track in Total of 899 Minutes.
BY PHIL, SHERIDAN,
Offlciul Observer on Speed Run.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.. Nov. 12.
(Special.) There were few witnesses,
but the roaring of an Oldamobile mo
tor on the Cotati speedway over 800
laps foretold the establishment of a
1000-mile record that has thrilled
automobile circles, showing just what
an Olds light will do. One thousand
miles in 8S3 minutes; an average of
66 2-3 miles an hour tbat's what she
turned up.
Sunday morning at 1:05 o'clock the
roar started; it finished at 4:04 o'clock
the same afternoon, having ended
1U00 of the most thrilling but at the
same time most tiresome miles of
speed witnessed on the Pacific coast.
To begin with, as official timer for
the Olds endurance test, the writer
will pay much credit for the Olds per
formance to Bill Cooper for his dar
ing ride through a dense tule fog.
But, throughout the stretches that
both .Cooper and Gene Root drove,
there was the thrill that can only be
experienced in a road run.
At 1:05 o'clock Sunday morning,
without any previous "warming up,"
Cooper drove the Olds on a flying
start and the run was on. The chill
morning air was ideal for perfect
performance, and for two hours and
a half there was never a break in
the- ound of eight cylinders. Then
drivers were changed and the fog
bigan to hang low over the track, so
that it was almost impossible to dis
cern the glow of the four headlights'
that blazed through the darkness.
Cooper again took the wheel, and his
daring drive took him through the
fog at speeds well above 75 miles an
hour.
The roar of the motor aroused some
of the townspeople, and a few gath
ered at the track, wondering who
would attempt to speed through that
fog. Without mishap the run contin
ued until after daylight. Again driv
ers were changed, and the driving
conditions were better.
Never throughout the entire run
did the Olds miss a shot of the motor,
and never did trouble of any kind
Impede her. indeed, if anything, the
motor was running sweeter at the
finish than at the start. The bonnet
was cot lifted oa the entire 1000-mile
run.
William Cooper and C. E. Root both
turned laps in 55 seconds flat, or at
the rate of 81.70 miles an hour; and
75-miles-an-hour laps ceased to be a
novelty after the fog lifted.
The first half of the run 500 miles
was covered at the rate of 62.6
miles an hour, the second at 70.04
miles an hour, the first being slower
on account of the fog.
After completion of the 1000-mile
run. one lap of the track, a mile and
a quarter, was covered in high gear
in 6 minutes 15 seconds, for a "slow"
lap, -without raising the hood of the
car or making any change whatso
ever, as a demonstration of the flexi
bility of the engine.
By the same token there are more
taxi-cabs in New York than anywhere
else. These modern vehicles have
become as famous in their way as
the old cabs and cabbies of London.
From an artistic point of view they
are a picturesque part of metropoli
tan life. But from the standpoint
of utility they are indlspensa6le. They
are vital factors In the great trans
portation system on which the city
depends.
New York, the largest city in the
world in point of population, is nat
urally the largest in the number of
its automobiles. In round numbers
there are a quarter million motor
cars of all types in operation today
in the greater city, says an article in
the current issue of "The Chevrolet
Review." The article continues:

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12. Seeking
to reduce the number of automobile
accidents, which lake an annual toll

The campaign takes the form of
two national eay contests. One is
among pupils of the fifth, sixth, sev
enth and eighth grades, and the other
is among grammar-school teachers,
who are being invited to prepare les
sons teaching children safe behavior
on the highways. "How Can I Make
the Highways More Safe?' is the sub
ject on which children are asked to
prepare essays.
Four hundred and fifty state prizes
are being offered through the com
mittee by the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce in the hope
that pupils will be stimulated to par
ticipate. ' The prir.es have an asgre
gate value of $5000. and ara distrib-'
utcd among the statt-s on the bain
of elementary school enrollment.
Teachers are offered three national
prizes, the first of which is 1500 in
cash and a trip to Washington. The
second and third prises are $300 and
1200, respectively.
An enthusiastic response from
every section of the country has
greeted the announcement. State,
city and county superintendents of
schools are lending the weight of
their influence to the campaign and
bringing the contests to the ttention
of pupils and teachers under their
jurisdiction.
Mothersv clubs civic organizations,
chambers of commerce, safety coun
cils and other organizations that are
Interested in the welfar of the chil
dren of the country are assisting the
committee in the national campaign,
which will culminate with the ob
servaitre of "national safety week,'
December 4 to 10. The contests close
Saturday, December 10, when all es
says and lessons are to be in the
hands of the principals of schools.
After December 10 the best essays
aand the best lessons from each
to the state committee to be desig
nated by the state superintendent of
schools or other Influential persons.
After the best essays and the best
lessons have been chosen for the vari
ous states and territorial possessions,
the state prizes in the pupils' con
tests will be awarded and the manu
scripts receiving state honors will
j then be forwarded to the committee
in wasningion.
Arrangements are being made for
distinguished educators to rend the
state essays and state lessons and to
choose therefrom the ones entitled to
the national honors.
Dr. John J. Tigert. United States
commissioner of ed ucation, who Is
chairman of the highway and high
way transport education committee
has written state and city superin
tendents requesting assistance. Jn his
letter. Dr. Tigert says: "In order to
reduce the appalling number of ac
cidents on our streets and highways,
I wish to call your attention to the
safety educational programme of the
hiKhway and highway transport edu
cation committee. If not inconsistent
with your policies, I trust we may
have your hearty co-operation."
The committee, which has offices in
the Wiliard building. Is answering
scores of inquiries daily from princi
pals, teachers and pupils who have
signified their Intention of partici
pating in the campaign.
CLOSKD CAIi DEMAND STRONG
New "Petite" Sedan Brought Out
by Moon Company Popular.
Keports received from St. Louis
show that the Moon Motor Car com
pany Is working full time and pro
duction is up to capacity. The Octo
ber production schedule was 100 per
cent greater than the schedule for the
corresponding month of last year, and
this increased schedule will hold good
for at least three more months, as
the Moon Motor Car company has or
ders on hand to keep their plants
running to full capacity for at least
that length of time, the report states.
Sales for the first 15 days of Octo
ber exceeded sales for the entire
month of October of last year. This
increase is based on the actual number
of cars sold, and were it to be based
on a dollar and cents basis, the in
crease would be even greater, an fully
85 per cent of the cars shipped hare
been the closed type, which, of course,
brings the value of the output up.
According to Stewart McDonald
president of the Moon Motor Car com
pany, the demand for closed cars lias
been remarkable. This demand can
partially be traced to the fact that
the Moon Motor Car company has re
cently brought out a new body model
the "La l'etite sedan." This new
model Is a compromise between the
standard nedan and coupe It has
everal feature which, while novel
and Innovations, are nevertheless
practical. The outstanding feature is
the seating arrangement, which makes
the drivers' seat as comfortable as the
others and also permits the occupants
to enter and leave the car without
causing confusion and disturbing the
other passengers.
