Thi3 run was made by H. II. Iahr, president of Arrow Motors, Inc., of Phoenix, Hupmohile dis tributors for Arizona, for the purpose of checking, personally. the capabilities of the newly an nounced car. After driving at slow speeds until past Chicago to allow the car to be broken in properly Jir, Lahr began setting a faster pace, hanging up an average of appro imately 35 miles an hour for the last 2100 miles. This is higher than the average speed of the transcontinental motor car record and was made through those parts of the country generally considered to be the severest test of an automobile's ability. Many of the car's outstanding capabilities were forcibly brought out during the trip. Despite the high- speed at which it was driven after being broken in, slightly more than 18 miles were made per gallon of gasoline after 500 miles were reached. Oil was changed, regularly each 500 miles with actual consumption estimat ed by Mr. Lahr at not more than a gallon. Four quarts of water were used. Roads were generally bad from St. Louis until well into Arizona, he told Hupp executives. "Heavy rains had made them muddy or look on.

Marking the second drive in the company's extensive "Be Careful" campaign, the second message in the series being broadcasted throughout Pacific coast states by the Union Oil Company of Cali fornia, was displayed at 1500 prominent locations last week. The display will last one month. For the subject of its second effort, the company has taken the tendency on the part of the driv ers to overlook traffic rules. "Traffic Rules Are For Your Protection Be Careful," is the text of the message which cap tions the design illustrating" close observance of "Stop" signj. "We are highly gratified by the results of our first broadside, aimed at earless driving where school children are likely to be in the streets," iays L. P. St. Clair, vice president of the Union, who is directing " the campaign. "We were advised by school prin cipals, board "of education super intendants and mayqrs of cities all up and down the coast that this cautioning message was of great benefit. "The. second phase of the safety need is just as important. Traffic rules are apt -to be considered bothersome and theiF violation taken as a matter of course. As a matter of fact, the-mly hope, not only in safe driving but of consistent speed lies iri'the strict observance of traffic regulations by all drivers. Anyone who has been caught in a traffic jam with out an officer in attendance, or who has been held up for hours because folish 'motorists cut off driving in the opposite direction by filling up the left side of tho road knows how important it. Is that motorists be guided at all times b ythe regulations laid down." ... . ' MOTORS SWEEP STREETS A French company will "mas sage" the streets of Dublin, Ire land for the next ten years.
