The test was held in the Coliseum at San Francisco, and both con tenders got away from a --dead start. The runner spurted Into the lead at the pistol shot and gained quite an advantage in the first few jy&rds and then the Orer land six began to "do its stuff overtaking the runner before 75 yards wag reached and taking the distance in 9.7 seconds. Lloyd was nonplussed that a car could beat him over the century dis tance, particularly when the three gear shifts had to.be made.

' U Modern methods of manufactunrig radio equipment have speeded up the ; fproductlon to a point where it is posble for The Crosley Radio Corporation to make ever 6000 pieces of apparatus a day. One of. the factors in this j speedy production is found in the automatic winding machines for coils used j ;n4iwtni .'.TTiie ntAfhune jinA 800 coils a dav. with the number of jturns varying from 20 to 30 acconding to the set" for vich they are to; ! be used. These coils are wound pon a fibre form which looks like the spokes of wheel.- They are so designed at to make losses to the sets a minimum, thereby insarinj maximum volume and. selectivity.'

The race was7 oyer a straightaway course for an eighth mile distance, the horse having a flying start over the Overland, six wh'ose driver had to start the motor," shift all three gears and overtake the flying horse in the soft track. The driv er of the car had to accelerate to 29 miles per hour to catch the h'jrse in 660 feet. Both demon strations faithfully L'jrtrayed to I California residents the enormous power confined in the .Overlana six engine and its flexibility of handling, and showed that the car was more than capable of re sponding to all demands for sud denly increased speed in present day traffic. "TIJIKS HAVE! CHANGED- "Thirty years ago there was a state law passed in Iowa that "the driver of a horseless carriage must telephone from -town to town that he was coming" so that people might lo'ok out for their livestock.- While this law was forgotten after a time, it was not repealed until this year. The Iowa ,oluns should have saved this law t.nd made it read "horse" instead of "horseless," so that the young er generation could get a look at the curiosity.

The recent high maTk of 30 set on Willys-Overland stock In the market justifies a study of the ac complishments of Willys-Overland Inc., during the past nine months. At the start of the year, Willys Overland as a manufacturer, in relation to other manufacturers, was not to clearly defined. N'jw the organization occupies a strong third position and is a heavy bid-1 der for second place among all manufacturers of automobiles. . In actual earning it shows the best pjcture yet disclosed in the1 industry. These are noteworthy accom plishments and warrant a study of what has been done in a manu facturing way. At the beginning of the year Willys-Overland had two models, the Willys-Knight four and the Overland four. Early in January they presented tbjs Willys-Knight six. which had long been antici pated," but' they threw a bomb shell into the industry by present ing an Overland six at the same time. Both oars were oTfered at unusually low prices. Both were eagerly accepted by the public and became recognized as standard in their respective fields within a few months. Without waiting for the cus t'jmary year to roll by. improve ments were steadily added to both models. As public acceptance be came greater and the 'output roll ed up to new figures, price changes were made all along the line despite the fart that the fac tory has been steadily oversold throughout the entire year. And a week ago, with all past sales and manufacturing record? broken for the company, a ne'v campaign was entered into which promises to make the last thre months of the year even groatpr than any corresponding period previous. The price of the standard se dan in the Overland four cylinder line was brought down to figure" lower than manufacturing costs at the past rate of production, hut the rate was ste!?ped up t'j double the best previous mark. Despite recently announced price cuts cn other models, im provements were addod and then word .sent out to the en ire field organization Of dealers that the Willys "Derby' was on with $35,000 ia prizes.
