This stamina test was recently staged in a run In .; New Zealand from Christ church to lavercargill and return. The route was over a hilly and mountainous territory known Tin that section of tbej world as a se vere test for any. motor car. The run was made under the oinciai observation of - the Canterbury Automobile association and at its conclusion officials of" the asso ciation issued a certificate attest ing the accomplishments which included the. following: KdkUa ran continuously for 21 hours. 38 minutes; total mileage 780 miles; average speed through out, deducting time spent In con trols. : 39.9 miles per hour: total amount of petrol used, 4 1 'gallons; average- petror mileage. Including' idling, 19.2 miles per gallon. The certificate was signed by B. Falek, president of 'the association and Johh'lL Hawkes. secretary. The start of the trip was made In a heavy downpour of rain. The Willys-Knight twice sped up the steep 1 grades of the famous KiU inogg hills and:Mt. Carglll, mas-t teringj.these difficult climbs in high gear, considered a notable accomplishment. f Despite the gruelling test less than one gallon of oil wai used and' only one pint of water was; added to the radiator supply, a tribute to the Willys-Knight cool ing system. The "severe test was made in a sto'ck car fully equipped and re quired no adjustments during the trip nor at its conclusion. , v After June 10 it will be a mis demeanor to paste stickers on wind-shields.

(Special) An amateur test driver is !est fit ted to put a new car through its paces and bring out any defects or weaknesses that may exist, In hte opinion of, W. A. Wheeler, presi dent of the Paige-Detroit Motor Car company. As. a result, young business office men at 'the Paige factory, are given an opportunity from time to time, to put in their working hours behind the; wheel of a new Palgo The average driver, the Paige president reasons, jwill test and judge the car during its years of service. The car must be built to with.taud more severe usage than would result from only expert care and handling. When the engineers turn a new model over to the executive for his approval, after the 'most ex ha'ustlve tests" known to them, he looks about him for nn-am.ilour test driver. ' i "Here, young man." he will say when lie nas made his selection, "go out and put 1000 miles on this new car." Ahd away goes the car with a test driver who knows virtually'fcothinK about auto me chanics, and leas of the engineer-' lag problems Involved. Later an other driver of the same type is called upon to put additional mile age on the speedometer. After the test drives, every , part of the car is given the most minute ex pert examination. Gasoline and, oil consumption are charted. Every part is given laboratory scrutiny 16 determine its fitness "under fire." These grilling tests over ail kinds of roads and in all kinds of weather are repeated innumerable times. ,; In addition, Q. . Clark Mather, Paige chief engineer, per sonally puts thousands of mies on the company's new creation, recording results in , pick-up, speed, power, flexibnityi safety and economy. Perfection . alone satisfies . the Paige engineers. Only after.,, the .most exhaustive tests over a term." of months, ' or even years as in the case of the new Paige, four-speed transmis sion, is a new improvement ' or model offered t othe public.
