LOTS OF MILES
IN DIXIE FLYER
Max Wiehle, in Test, Gets
24.4 Out of Single Gallon
of Gasoline.
*
I Gasoline economy Is bein* urged
updn motorists by the oil conservationists.
who have been urging designers
ol Internal combustion engines
to build* them to use low
grade fuel. The builders of the
Dixie Flyer have beep among the
first to answer this call in the effort
to' make the gasoline supply
last a long time. In addition to
giving a large mileage per gallon
of fuel, this automobile is equipped
with a gasoline "stove" to vaporize
and use efficiently low grade fuels.
However. Max Wiehle. of the Potomac
Sales Co., distributers of the
Dixie Flyer, determined to satisfy
himself that the machine would deliver
good mileage on present day
gasoline, and arranged for a test.
He took his car. which already had
been driven 4,000 miles, attached a
one-gallon tank to the windshield
and connected it direct with the
carbureter, not even letting the fuel
pass through the "stove" which
heats low grade fuels, and started
the engine.
The test run started at Twentysixth
street and Pennsylvania avenue
northwest, and was run along
the Avenue to Twenty-ninth street,
thence to R street, west to Wisconsin
avenue, to Tenallytown, thence
across to Connecticut avenue, turning
north to Chevy Chase circle,
then back to the ford in Rock
Creek at Pierce Mill, turning along
the Beach drive and continuing to
the District line, thence to Sixteenth
street to the White House
Ellipse, which was encircled a number
of times; thence west on Pennsylvania
avenue to Twenty-fourth
street, when the engine stopped.
The speedometer showed that a distance
of 22 4-10 miles had been
covered.
Vacuum Cleaner
Now Can Be Run
From Exhaust
A device expected to meet with
great favor from women motorists,
who always like to see the upholstery
of their inclosed cars free from
dust and grime, has recently be*n
placed on the market by Franklin
Products. Incorporated, of Syracuse.
This is a portable vacuum cleaner.
It is especially designed for automobiles
and is operated from the exhaust.
The exhaust from the motor
creates the suction.
The usefulness of the device, however.
is not confined to Inclosed cars,
but can be used on cars of any type.
The entire equipment weighs les*>
than five pounds and occupies but a
very small space.

j Truck Company Head
Thinks Motors "Pay in
Full" for Use of Roads.
In view of the large expenditures
which are planned for highway improvement,
it is interesting to note
whether or not the motor vehicle
owner is paying a fair amount for
the use of ttie roads which are
j available at the present time. In
this connection. R. E. Fulton, vice
president of the International Motor
Compa.iy, manufacturers of Mack
trucks, in a recent interview expressed
the opinion that the motor
vehicle owner is certainly paying in
| full for the use of the roads and
| j gave some interesting figures to
j prove his contention.
"Motor vehicle owhers in 1918,"
said Mr. Fulton, "paid 550,000,000 in
I automobile license fees to the va
j rious States. Including persona)
| I property taxes levied on cars in
i j some States, excise and local char|
|ges, It is estimated that car owners
! I paid no less than $130,000.000. Ir
| | addition, motor vehicle manufac|
turers paid $3#.000,000 in taxes to
[ the F'deral government. This is a
I j total of ahout $25 for every cai
j built. Out of 2.500.000 miles of hlgV
; j way in the United States only 6,25f
j are equal to the demands of heavy
j duty traffic. Motor vehicles, there.
I fore, pay a total sum amounting tt
j $75 per mile for every mile of highway
in the United States, improved
or unimproved. For every mll<
capable of carrying heavy dut>
motor traffic motor vehicles pa>
yearly a sum equal to $24,000 pel
mile."
Watch the Front WheeU.
The average car owner is qulti
likely in the desire to give thi
.rear wheels all the attention thej
need to forget the front wheels. Now
t(ie front wheels should receive <
I careful inspection at least once i
month, particularly those of thi
type fined with ball bearings of thi
cup and cone type. The cones w, a

The four is a well-balanced car.
which not only enhances its riding

is a feature, as are its wide restful

INEXPERIENCE HURTS
NEW AUTOMOBILES
Many drivers do more damage tc
their car the first week they drive
it than during almost any week
thereafter. Often they do not stop
to learn thoroughly the direction*
for driving, and they smash up the
gears and scrape thousands of mile*
of wear off the tires. But probably
the greatest offense of all is the
1 neglect of oiling. In a new car i1
| takes considerable time for the
j parts to get thoroughly worked in
8 The new car will naturally gen0
erate more friction than ohe which
1 has been run for some time, sc
more frequent oiling is advisable

against running faster than twer?s
