New Graham Gives Startling Mileage An ordinary fruit glass Jar plays an Important part In the gasoline economy tests conducted by engin eers of the Grnham-Palge Motora corporation to determine the funl economy of the Graham six, accord ing to Walter W. Abbey, Medford Oraham dealer. The Jar is attached to the instru ment panel of the car and is con nected by a tube to the fuel pump. It contains one quart of gasoline and la in full view of the driver. Thus, the quart of gasoline is measured against the speedometer reading to determine exactly the mileage ob tained. The results of these teste proved to be startling, showing 24 miles to a gallon at 35 miles an hour and 20.4 miles at 60 miles an hour. These tests were made in cold weather at average winter tpmnpraturpn. it. was indicated that the results would be improved considerably in warm weather.

Automobile officials face a problem today that is quite different from what they have become accustomed to during the last few years. Every answer to the question "How's bust ness?" brought a pause and, if ans wered at all, a flock of figures that carried minus signs as a prefix, ac cording to R. A. Skinner, local Pon tlac dealer. Mr. Skinner says: "H. J. Klingler. president of Pontlac Motor company, has a new kind of trouble today , . . "happy trouble." that needs no cry ing towels. His problem is to aupply cars to keep up with orders, and so It Is "happy trouble." With the introduction of two new sixes to Its line of eights this year. Pontlac salesmen have become order blank clerks. There Is no telling bw many Pontiacs could have been de livered so far this year if Mr. Kling ler and his staff had known what an avalanche of buying they were going to be up against. Anyway, In January 'deliveries were 7390 against 2584 in the same month last year. February's figures are more than 10,732 which is higher than the best month last year, and Mr. Klingler expects to have at least 130,000 new Pontiacs on the road, and perhaps 150.000 by the end of the year. One thing about Mr. Klingler, his figures are respected. Sales expec tancy figures that he set up during the depression and which conserva tive minds considered rash, were ex ceeded. He was appointed president of Pontlac about one and one-half years ago, and the car Is the second "best seller" of all General Motors makes. He calls the 1935 model his "first baby" . . . with its distinctive silver streak hood and narrow ribbons of chromium running from the bottom of the radiator to the windshield. The AUTO WAY- Bv Cvrtl Sander The export business of the Hudson Motor Car Company has been gaming steadily tor the past two and one-hali years. As an illustration of how these shipments abroad are going, the other day a train load destined for New Zeal.-nd pulled away from the shipping platfcvm at the Hudson factory over the Belt Line road, bound for San Francisco.' On the nine cars were seventy-two Hudsons and Terraplanea. all in individual crates. The Packard One Twenty, the low priced car the Packard Motor com pany has Introduced this year, has most all of the traditional features of a Packard and also several new Improvements never before found on a Packard. The more Important ones are the Safe-T-flex independent spring suspension and the hydraulic braking system, The Packard spring suspension utilised a coil spring, similar to that used list year by General Motors and Chrysler, and torque-arm construction. The latter prevents side-sway and Increases the safety of the car. This type of wheel suspension provides a softer ride, positive wheel alignment, and easier control at any speed. Another out. standing feature of this Safe-T-flex is that there are only two points requiring lubrication and both of them are easily accessable. The new Packard braking system has hydraulic brakes for service tise and mechsntcol for emergency. The hy draulic brakes use the momentum of the car to help In stopping the car and very little pressure Is required to operate them. Other Important feat ures of this new car are: full-pressure lubrication, silent syncro-mesh transmlslon. hydraulic double acting shock absorbers, and automatic choke.
