Of tlrriw, the overland trail Is for about 5 per cent pt the way the route of. the Lincoln highway, which will at tract a large amount of the cross country travel. Pourta Xout Planned. The four to new route will start east from. L.r Angeles and la by far the longest of the crons-country lines, be ing via Yuma, Phoenix, El Paso, Foi t Worth, Dallas, Texarkana, Little Hook, Memphis, Nashville. Knoxvllle, Anh.e vllle, Greensboro, Richmond. Washing ton, Baltimore and Philadelphia to New York. This transcontinental route will be available throughout the year. Very . little difficulty was ex perienced in Its framing, as long stretches of good natural roads were found In Arlxona, New Mexico anl Texas. In fact, the one great problem of . the A. .A, A. pathfinder was to elert toe. "one best way" from tlin number of options offered at several points, notably east of Phoenix. For the first time the southwestern and gulf states will be placd on a throujji line across lower Arizona, New Mexico and upper Texas. The pioneer big route between Chit-ago and ths Pacific coast was tha "Trail to Sunset." This quickly mad: rlcar that for the San Francisco and Ban Diego exhibitions in 1915 there would he a great call for other. routes, reaching the Pacific northwest as well is central and southern California. It was therefore decided by the A. A. A. :n the early summer of 1912 to under take the mapping of three complete lines in one season. Portland to Benefit. i Starting in June the northern route through Albany, Buffalo, Cleveland, C'hicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Fargo, Hisinarck, Butte, ' Missoula. Sjkane, Seattle and Portland, Or., was covered. The "Northwest Trail" was the first to give details across the continent ny the northern route, and to supply specific Information, including mile- Mes, for reaching Yellowstone park from the north or Glacier park from ;he south.

TERRIBLE" TEDDY TO DRIVE A MAXWELL Noted Foreign Car Driver -to Shift His Allegiance to -an American Car, "Terrible Teddy" Tetzlaff, the idol of thev Pacific coast, and present world's "record road champion, Is to drive -a. Maxwell. The famous foreign car driver has agreed to shift his allegiance to an American car. The last eaj-s which Teddy has driv en were the Flat and the Isotta. 'Tetzlaff is best known as the win ner of two Santa Monica races, in one of which he lowered the world's rec ord by driving the distance at an aver age of 78. SO miles per flour, a record which stands today after many on slaughts. The driving of the western demon Is of the most sensational order, and such events as the Tacoma road race, second in the Indianapolis motor speedway 500-mile race two years ago, and many other Important wins and records mark his greatest achieve-1 ments. Tetslaff has earned the sobriquet of "Wild Teddy," owing to tha reckless abandon with which he drives a car. In almost every event, In which he baa failed to prove the winner, he has been In the lead when he retired from the event, owing to the severe manner in which he has driven his car. He led both the Vandarbllt cop race and the Grand Prix races at Milwaukee when he was retired, and the same applied at Tacoma and Santa Monica this year. n This practically, completes the per sonnel of the Maxwell team;" which now has two Csllfornians at the "wheel, Tetzlaff ana Carlson. Tettlaff Is expected to reach Indian apolis the early part of the coming week and wilr go to Detroit to the Maxwell factory, to get his car and start practice on the course. Ray Har roun has advised his associate, E. A. Moross, that the first Maxwell will be ready this week, and that Carlson will be given the first car, as he is the first to sign his teamAeontract. Tetzlaff will be awarded the second mount. Both of the drivers have been entered- and nominated for the Speed way event, leaving but one other driv er to be Bigned, and as Moross Is now In touch with both Hemery and Nazar ro by cable and with Hughes and other American pilots, the indications are that all three cars will be working out their respective pilots within ths next few days. The Maxwells will enter three cars, and will not have one entered In the name of an Individual. Carl Q. Fisher, president of the Speedway, has advised Moross that this method of entering cars will not avail In holding three car teams in the race. In event of hav. lng more than 30 entrants, M. Fisher explained that the 30 fastest cars would be the starters. Inasmuch as Harrdun in his contract with the Max well company has agreed that his cars shall show a speed for a lap of 1.37, and as this Is faster than any car ever covered the distance officially, the indications are that the Maxwells at least will not be forced to lose one of their cars through failure to qualify QUESTION OF WEIGHT IS BECOMIN!

Barney Oldfleld has broken another world's record. On April 22, at Bakersfleld. Cal.. in his Flat Cyclone, he broke the five mile record formerly held by Disbrow. Barney covered the five miles In 3 minutes, 56 seconds. He p.lso won the 60 mile free for all race, covering the 60 miles in 48 min utes.

Tldrick of ths Ameri can United Presbyterian mission In the Sudan died today of -wounds suf fered in an encounter with a lion. Mr. Tidrick, who was stationed at Doleib Hill, Sobat river, was attacked seven days ago. He started down the Nile for Khartoum to- undergo treat ment. The trip occupied six days. He arrived here yesterday. The discussion that aeema' to be go ing on everywhere about ths proper wslght of an automobile has reached the Interesting stage. It is becoming s.i warm that the various factions most Interested are spending large amounts of money to make their positions clear and convincing. One -faction takes the position that the lighter the car the better, and an other claims that safety demands weight. In a recent issue of the Sat urday Evening Post, these two extreme positions are represented in a page ad by a manufacturer who builds an extremely light weight car, and in a page ad by a manufacturer who build a heavy ear. In reading these ads one cannot help seeing that there are arguments In favor of both. On the other hand, it occurs to the student of this ques tion "Why not strike a happy me dium?" What Expert Bars.. The writer "knows of no man who is better oualifled to speak from the standpoint of experience on this sub ject than Charles B. Harris, and we therefore take pleasure in ouotlng Mr. Harris as follows: "My idea' in gen eral about the weight of an automo bile." says Mr. Harris, "is that it should not be so heavy as to make the car cumbersome and expensive, and not so lVtrht as to, make it unsafe. To be a little more definltg. T consider that when a five passenp-er car strikes the hesvvweiirht class, it is cumber some nd expensive, and that on the other hand, when it drops down to the extremely lirhtweltht class, it Is so light that it becomes unsafe. "One designer exclaims proudly 'we save from 450 to 1200 pounds rep resentlner the weight of from three to elrht adults and likewise the cost of carrying that overweight every miie you drive.' Another designer announces with en.ua! pride that safety and strength demand weight. Medium Weight Best. "Tf all were classed In these two extremes, the buyer of an automobile would of course be forced to chooss between them: however, since there is more than one good car produced to dy that can be properly efftssed an a medium weight caiy one that strikes a happy medium At really seems a warte of time to bother about deciding which one of these extreme factions is correct, or rather which is more nearly correct, because as I said before, the happy medium is quite practical and Number of Entries To Date Indicated Indianapolis - entries to date are as follows: Car.

SEASON MODELS Fl CE OUT SOME GOOD CAR Local Dealer Gives His Opin ion Regarding Practice in Auto Industry. best from every point of view in these days of highly perfected mechanism. "As soon as I arrived at these con clusions, I Immediately began to in vestigate the situation In detail. .My search. Is very thorough and I was forced to the conclusion that a per fectly balanced car which strikes a happy medium is the closest approach to the ideal car for general purposes. "This position I have taken in favor of a medium weight car is without dcubt the right position and it will be decisively proven by developments at nj distant date." PAPER TO TEACH ENGLISH "Seasons' models may be all right in the millinery business," says H. W. Curtis, the local Apperson dealer, but forcing good cars out of data by a few unessential chances is an expen sive luxury, when applied to motor care and is an Injustice to the buyer. Here is an example that you have seen repeated a. thousand times: A man buys a 191? car one month before the end of the season. After SO days his caris out of date, a back number. aapjthe manufacturer announced a 1913 model. The public then say his car is a year old, that means It would com mand only the price of an ordinary second-hand car. . Whjit is the proportion between the actual worth and the market value of a second-hand automobile? That de pends some on the conditions of the car. whether it is in a big alty or a country four corners, or hew many seasons old it may be. . . . . . Now, when after two decades of experience as exclusive automobile builders, Apperson Brothers find their " car -standardized to t point, that any change' would be minor or unes- : Sfcntial. they are confronted with the necessity of choosing between two ales -policies. Shall we force last season's model out of date and sell the owneY a new car, or shall we per-j petuate the standard design and make every car sold, atay sold and Sell an other! to a new customer? We renounced seasons models, which mean- that an unwritten Insurance pol icy goes with 'each car.- The depreci ation should not exceed what the sr rv ic. has been actually worth providing ths owner will give his car the same care and attention that is deserved by any pleoe: of machinery. It must be remembered, of .course, that the serv ice one gets from any automobile is only .-reciprocal with the cars and at tention they are given. This makes it pretty much up to the owner as to what his used car is realty worth. CANDIDATEF0R GOVERNOR Laaslng, Mich.. May 2.

The growth of Ger many's interests in America and the consequent necessity for spreading the knowledge of the English language is chiefly responsible for Oe founding of the Anglo-American Journal, a new weekly, just started at Frankfort-on-tbe-Main. , ReotheFifthlTZV. tr - TSh Elaetrla St&rtar New-Style Body Electric Lights Electrlo Horn One-Rod Control 35 Horsepower Tires 34x4 Also Koadster This Car Must Stand 10,000 Reckless Miles This is one of the tests given Reo the Fifth fo prove strength and endurance in the thousand separate parts. Test chassis are kept running night and day at high speed on rough roads. They are driven constantly, fn reckless ways, up to 10,000 miles. After 10,000 miles we , take the chassis apart and inspect it. And we require that driving parts shall show slight evidence of wear. Every steel formula, every specifica tion, is based on years of these radical tests. Lesser-built cars may look as well, may run as well when new. But when others grow noisy, Reo the Fifth will 6tay silent. It will save you hun dreds of dollars in the years to come in troubles, repairs and upkeep. Our Extra Care Reo the Fifth, built by R. . Olds, is based on 27 years of experience. It marksour final conception of what a car should be. It is built for the future for what legions of users will say of us after five years. We spend six weeks in build ing each car. And we add one fourth 4o what the car would cost if )uilt by other standards. Each' driving part .is made The Car That Stays New $220 Saved one-half stronger than neces sary. Each is tested to meet the requirements of a 50-horse-power engine. Other Tests All steel is made to formula, and each lot is. analyzed twice. Gears are tested for 75,000 pounds per tooth. Springs are tested for 100,000 vibrations. Engines get five long and radi cal tests, and the tested engines are taken apart and inspected. We use a clutch to prevent gear clashing which costs twice what others cost. We use IS roller bearings and 19D drop forgings. We use over Size tires. Then the cars are built slowly and carefully. Parts are fitted exactly. There are countless tests and inspections. Reo the Fifth, with electric starter, used to cost $1395. Our latest model the handsomest car that ever went from this factory costs $1175 equipped, f. o. b. factory. We have saved this largely by confining our output for years to this single chassis. Now, call the special machinery for it has been charged against previous output, and this item qomes off from our price. This car is for men who want ,to save trouble, save upkeep, save repairs. It is for men who want years of perfect service. No other car in- this class is built anywhere near like this. Come, judge this car by what you ftnd inside.
