MEXICO HIGHWAY UNIQUE CONTESTS PROVE MOUTHS R Tj
DATA PUBLISHED
WASHINGTON, D. C, My 24.
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.
"That Mexico Is becoming Increas
ingly tourist minded," a statement
Issued by A. A. A. headquarters de
clared, "Is shown by the numerous
proposals now under consideration 7or
adding to the comfort and conven
ience of foreign motorlsfa. These In
clude: Elimination of car bonding,
atabllsment of Mexican Automobile
association Information and service
effloe along principal travel routes
and the placement of highway signs
written In both Spanish and English.
"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. M.
Ray, psclflc regional manager for
Pont! Motor Compsny.
'Western dealers have been uatnc
the "SttiMiy Injun" cat, a specially
painted Pontlac six, m a demonstra
tor for the content. 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." "The 'mingy Injun.' contest will be
continued for another six week"
concluded Mr. Ray.

'Harder to get than an engineer's
okay," la a phrase that la well-known
In automotive circles. 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."

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.
"The Goodyear Farm Implement

Goodyear Alrwheel for airplanes, ts
proving exceptionally popular on the
farm, designed as It Is especially for
farm operations. In addition to the
