nncfat und prosecution of Januvi'I'cl
lctt mid John Dee (Jarvin, both of
Talent, charged with violating the
laws of tho highway. Frank Schuctte
is the cotupluining witness.
It is charged that the men named in
the warrant, while driving a Corbin
automobile .Saturday evening, were
either under the intlucncc of liquor or
wickedly reckless, for they appeared
to care nothing for speed laws or the
presence of anv other vehicle in tho
road. Their manner tov.anl those
whom they met, it is alleged, wns
profane nnd offensive.
On the Pacific highway, between
this city and Phoenix, thov met
Schuette with n two-hoiso wngonload
of wood. IIu was unable to escape
them and u collision followed, with
tho result that a wheel wns knocked
off of the automobile and the wagon
of Sehuetlo was somewhat demol
ished. Schuette wits thrown vio
lently to the Dared road, sustaining
sovero injuries, his face being badl
bruised mid skinned mid his none al

How much will it cost me to run

This is the question the average
non-motorist of moderate means is
asking himself these dnyn. There can
bo no general answer, dcelnrcs "Pay
nn You Hide" Power, of Iho Powell

The nearcht mithenntie information
of tho kind is n Nummary recently
prepared by the Mnxvvcll irotor Co..
Inc., of Detroit, in which nro given
tho actual mileuires nnd running ex
penses of fill enrs, each of which was
run for 1000 miles in n week in as
ninny different cities of the country.
None of these enrs required re
placement or repair of any sort. None
suffered accident. In every euse the
expenses wero limited to those in
quired for gasoline und oil. Several
punctured tires wero rcpnired nt cur.
rent rates. At tho end of the run
each car wns sold for what it would
hi ing, tho result definitely establish
ing tho amount of depreciation inci
dent to 1000 miles of use more, in
all probability, thnn tho nvornge mo
torist would giro u car iu threo
months.
These Maxwell enrs averaged 122.3
miles per gallon of gasoline nnd ran
the 1000 miles on nn nvernge of three
pints of oil. In dollars mid cents, tho
cost of all this wide range of run
ning figured exactly ir.OO.'il per milo
slightly over half n cent.
Tiro wear, depreciation and nil ex
penses included, tho results of tho
tabulation seem to plainly show thnt
tho average Mnxwellito's motoring
expense should be somewhere near
one cent per mile, nnd is ns likely to
be under this fitniro ns over it.
