With thd Pun American highway to Umxleo City opened June 1, the American Automobile association has announced that It has completed preparation or a new booklet en titled "Mexico by Motor," which Rives a full rlencrlptlon of the entire route. This booklet, the most complete and authentic ever prepared tor mo tor travel In Mexico, was compiled by the A. A. A.'s national touring bureau. In addition to giving de tailed strip maps of the route, de scription of cities, towns and princi pal points of Interest along the high way and a sunmmary of available hotel accommodations, the booklet sets forth comprehensive advice and suggestions that will enable motor ists making the trip to meet every problem and novel situation that might be encountered while driving In the sister republic. Although the Pan American high' way la still Incomplete, the construc tion la being rmhed In order to have the highway officially opened by the early part of aummer. The Rotary International convention .to be held la Mexico City, June 17, and the Lions' club International convention to be held there July 33 have been principal causes for hastening the work.

"Although construction will con tinue after official opening, the high way la exnected to be fully compiewi by nest year and a Urge volume of touring will flow toward the many attractions offered In Mexico. Be- rause of the changed customs and differing regulation that prevail after the border la crossed, motorists plan ning to. make the trip should avail themselves of complete Information before departing." "The Pontlw "Stingy Injun" con test which hae been In progress throughout the went during the past tx weeks, has demonstrated the re markable gasoline mileage obtain able from a Pontlac atx under nor mal driving conditions." said T.

The high mile ages, hlwever, have not been run up by dealers or their salesmen, but have been made by the public Itself. The contest Is simply to see how far an average drlvwr can go with the Pon tlac using a quart of gasoline. A spe cial me Wring gauge, holding exactly one quart of gasoline la attached to the windshield and the contestant drives until the supply is exhausted. A check Is made of the mileage nnd the person who has obtained the highest score during the day is de clared the winner and la rewarded with a . suitable prize. Averages as high as M and 27 miles per gallon are not uncommon, and In several Instances the rate has been as high as 30 miles to a gallon. Following the contest a film concerning the con struction and engineering features of th pontine six and eight has been shown and the reasons for the excep tional economy of both oars explsln ed."

And rightly so, too, for the automobile englneera who have the responsibility of de signing a new model won't put their stamp of approval on anything until It haa been proved and tested. The great Chrysler Engineering Laboratories at Highland Park are a weird maze of testing devices, strange and Ingenious pieces of equipment have been built to test the stamina of engines, of springs, even of the mechanlam that winds up the win dows. These are running twenty-four noura a day to make sure that every part of the car la up to standard One of the most Interesting of theae aafeguards of quality Is a machine that was used In testing the 1935 Plymouth. Dubbed by the engineers as the "Belglen Roll," It consists or four lsrge diameter rollers In which the four wheels of the csr are placed. Each roller Is atudded with Irregular shaped cleata about three lnehea high. Using Its own power, the car drove the rollers. An automatic throttle control ac celerated and retarded the apeed of the car as It rode the cleated rolls, receiving hundreds of terrific im paeta a minute. Twenty-four houra a day . . . day after day ... the test car atood this hsvoc-wreaking pun ishment equivalent to fhoussnda and tnnusanda of miles of travel. Parte that were broken during this racking test were re-designed and re tested until they received the critical engineering approval. Even rattles and aqueaka that showed up In the test were remedied by Improved con struction. Only when tests showed that the car could "take It" under these gruelling conditions, did the engineers stamp It "O.K." fx & p4 """ft,- STORY HOURS AT PUBLIC LIBRARY The flrat of a aerlea of story hours will be held In the Children's Room of tha Public Library on Wednesday morning June 13 at 10:30 o'clock.

H.M s I 1 t Farmers Turning To Tractor Tire As Big Work Aid Parmers throughout the country are turning to the pneumatic tire to enable them to conduct tractor oper ations at a considerable saving In fuel and at greater speed. "Parmers are not equipping their tractors and farm Implements with pneumatic tires because they have 'fallen fe some high prewure sales manship, either," waa the comment of C. C. Furnas, local dealer for the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. "A survey conducted by the Agri cultural Wheel Equipment Commit tee of the American Society of Aerl cultural Engineers disclosed that the farmer Is firmly convinced after seeing demonstrations and watching the tires In actual use on farms, that the pneumatic tire offers fuel savings ranging up to 80 per cent, with an average of 23 per cent: that an average of 25 per cent more work is possible In tha same length of time: that more power la released for useful work, and that the health and comfort of the operator la In creased, as the tires take up vibra tion and shock and do not kick up clouds of choking dust that accom pany operation of ateel wheels with lugs.
