Krom ovory viewpoint tho test was admittedly fair, and Is taken to Indicate what may practically bo expected by tho owner of an Essex oporatlng his car undor usual condi tions after ho has acquired a knowl edge of how It should bo handled. Tho run wan conducted by Harold I,. Arnold, Kssax distributor for Cal Ifornln, Nevada, Arizona nnd north ern Mexico, In conjunction with R. It. Wilson, tho Fresno dcalor. Th r eo of tho cars used In tho run wero selected at random from among tho Kssox owners of Fresno.

THIS "I'AltKINfi" KVIIj In ovory city tho "parking" of cars causes trouble. No, wo don't mean what you think wo mean. It Is tho owner who "parks" his car most of tho day who noglccts his car. Ho gets no sorvlco from It whon It Is not working, consequently ho has rela tively less for which to bo apprecia tive than tho owner who covers groat distances. And bocause tho car does practically no real work ho expects It to glvo' absolutely no trouble Going over tbo grcaso cups onco a week. Is too often for hlmt Hut the car stands out In tho dust, rain, sunshine, snow or hall. Bolts go dry springs rust tho depreciation of stagnation and Inactivity. Tho ma jority of such owners aro unable to approclato what this treatment means and aro Irascible, Impatient and complaining of tho oxpenso of main tenance which they call unnecessary. Contrast them with owners who cover big mileage Tho moro miles thoy drlvo a day tho moro they ap proclato tho sorvlco tho car glvcs-- nn.f In Intnn nf IIiaIk nnnrnplnllnn they glvo the car nomo attention. This Is only human naturo. Men who uso their cars a lot aro usually more cheerful and healthy anyway the open air makes them feel that way If nothing elso. Their frame of mind towards their car Is that they owo It something for having carried thorn faithfully from placo to place. There aro exceptions of course but that this should represent the averaco Is In evitable. A good automobile Is built for work punishment oven. Tho man who "punishes" his car moro than he "parks" It Is tho enthusiastic own er. You know It. You sell good au tomobiles. We YOUR PLUMBING C.

"California has ono wny down south which Is said to bo matched In dry ness only by tho chemically pure nt mosphoro of Its environs, but famil iarity with tho region nnd woll mark ed roads havo resulted in nobody fearing to cross It with n motor car. Over In China, however, there Is ono which crossing Is n dlfforent proposition. It Is tho desert of Oohl, long known for Its slzo and tho deso lation which prevails from one end to tho other. It wan this desort that And row Noscmoff recently succeeded In crossing with a Hudson Super-Six. Ho Is tho manager of a gold mining company, nnd the exigencies of his business mndo the trip a necessity. Tho road, an old caravan routo north from l'ckln over the mountains, Is tho only iree wny Into Siberia and Western lUissla. It Is said that no moro severe test of the merit of a mo tor car is provided In tho wholo Chi neso empire than over tho routo. Kozemoff's Hudson mado tho trip across this desert and back, a dis tance of almost 2000 miles, carry ing tlvo persons with camping outfit, food supply, cooking utensils and an amplo quantity of gasoline DIverso In character, tho raid at times follows an old boulder strewn river bed and then long stretches of sandy soli, and range after ran go of rough mountains. In places between these mountains there are said to bo long stretches with so smooth and hard a surface that tho car "won ablo to attain a speed of CO miles an hour. The expedition was considered dan gerous In the extreme, as tho party had to depend absolutely on their car for hundreds of miles. No mechanical trouble whatovor on tho. trip Is reported by Nozen off.
