Buick Economy Demonstrated
To demonstrate the operating economy of the four cylinder Buick car we inau
gurated a 1000 mile economy run in San Francisco. ,;
'The route selected crossed Market Street, ran along Mission and Howard Streets to
the Beach over hills and through traffic.) The car was started by the Superintendent of
Service Stations of the Standard Oil Company who officially sealed the gasoline tank,
crank case, oil spout and radiator. " "
, , Only, a certain appointed Standard Oil representative broke ihe seals and reseated
the car when : gasoline was taken. . . ". i
" 'No oil nor water were added. -
, . The car was' started Wednesday, May 10th at 10:00 a. m. and ran continuously un
til 1:30 p. m. Friday, May 12th, 1922. It -Was driven by three different men in our
employ, " . -'-
: The car was the ordinary stock 22-35 used. for several months previous by one of our
men to make calls about San Francisco. Nothing was done further than to be sure the
brakes were not dragging and the carburetor, spark and valves well adjusted.
This car used 30.4 gallons of gasoline and one quart of oil during the 1000 mile
test. J " ' ,
30.4 miles to a gallon of gasoline.
. 0 1000 miles lo a quart of oil
This is' a remarkable record for economy. V

REVELATIONS Or A WIFE
CHAPTER 45
WHAT MRS. DURKEE HAD TO
SAY ABOUT RITA BROWN
As I followed mr mother-in-
law and little Mrs. Durkee down
the hall to Mother Graham s
room, I paid mental tribute to
the poise of my husband's mother.
In her son's parlance, she had
proved herself to be a thorough
bred", and a "corking good
sport. By. her action in leaving
the window of Dicky's room
open, and giving h'-m a chance to
get back into his room unobserv
ed by little Mrs. Durkee, she bad
saved me from the appearance of
a falsehood and Dicky from the
stigma of discourtesy toward his
little neighbor. Whether or not
she would have been so magnani
mous if my reputation alone had
been at stake, I didn't permit my
self to question. It was enough
for me that, in Chinese phrase
ology, we had "saved our face."
Little Mrs. Durkee became vol
ubly Incoherent again as soon as
we were comfortably seated In
Mother Graham's room.
"You needn't look at me In
that reproachful fashion, Madge,"
she began, making little dabs at
her eyes with an absurd little
handkerchief. "I suppose I am a
pig, but I stimply cannot stand
being shut up 36 hours with Rita
Brown, and I won't not it 1 don't
go to the wedding. So. there
now! It Leila woujd rather have
Rita Brown than me well
she's welcome, that's all."
Madge Insists.
After this childish and thor
oughly characteristic outburst.
she took refuge in her handker
chief again, a proceeding which
relieved instead of troubled me,
for it gave me a chance to think
carefully before framing a reply
to her.
That Alfred and Leila bad kept
the fact of Rita Brown's invita
tion to the wedding a secret frdm
"Her Flutfiness" until the last
possible moment because, of the
little woman's aversion 10 we
girl, I well knew. That-the
news had been broken at last was
very evident. The rest of the tit
tle woman's grievance I ' guessed
but resolved that I pronld feign
ignorance of the whole mattetW
I gravely produced one! pi
Dicky's old handkerchiefs from s
pocket of my bungalow apron 2-1
always carry one when working
around the house and bending
over her, put it in her hand.
"You'll be more comfortable
with thin." I suesested slyly
"and when you're through with
it; perhaps youll remenberthat
I'm still waiting to find out What
thin ia all about."
She sat up wlta a jerk, as"l
knew she would long experience
with my little neighbor has given
me familiarity with heY ?very
f mood and tense and turned In
diznant evea on me.
"Do you mean to sit there and
tell me, Madge Graham, that you
didn't know Leila insists upon
dragging that " unspeakable Rita
Brown down, to her wedding, be
cause, forsooth. Rita was- so
kind when Edith and I first cam)
to New York'!' The 'little wo
man's mimicry was filled with
scorn. "You can wager your
best hat that if Rita Brown was
ever kind to anybody but herself
It was because she saw some ad
vantage in it."
"I won't 'take you on that wa
ger,' I returned quietly, relieved
that she was temporarily switch
ed from the query as to- my own
knowledge of Rita Brown's invi
tation. "And from my knowledge
of the lady, I can't imagine her
having to be 'dragged to the fes
tivities.- .
"Dicky Simply Must "
"I'll tell the world that." my
little neighbor responded fervent
ly. "And I'll tell it something
else, too and that la. even if
LeUa is going to be my daughter
in-law she has a crust to pitch
thati East side product" my lit
tie neighbor's vocabulary evident
ly'was nearly exhausted -"into
my company. .Why she couldn't
take a berth instead of crowding
in with us- you know what four
women in a drawing room will be
and you know we have jto carry
a lot of . the wedding finery for
fear the trunks may not get there
Leila has two or , three boxes,
besides her suit case." T I
I smiled Involuntarily as she
paused for breath. I knew, that
her description of Leila's I bag
gage was correct, but I knew also,
that she had discreetly avoided
mentioning, that her own boxes
exceeded in number those of her
future daughter-in-law.
i "I am to understand then," I
said smiling, "that Rita Brown Is
to share' your drawing room:
t ."Not on your golden wedding
day she isn't!" Mrs. Durkee as
serted. "That's . what I came
over for. Dicky simply ,mur:
change those reservations.; Alt
won't do a thing Leila's simply
got H m hypnotized. ;

Electra Plait is a soprano solo st.
