t
gruelling 3559 mile trip j
Car driven under the Ameri
can Automobile Association's
Sanction and Observation!
I OS AXGKLKS to New York on 824 gallons og gaso
line . . . averaging 43. 2S miles per gallon. This is the
sensational economy record recently achieved by a stock
Overland Whippet in a gruelling 3.559 mile coast-to-coast
trip.
This spectacular run shatters all previous records. It
sets a new high mark for fuel economy. Never before has
any car so dramatically, so convincingly demonstrated out
standing performance ability.
Under Official Observation
The entire test was conducted under the official observa
tion of the American Automobile Association.
The car was completely examined for stock status at
Los Angeles. California, by George F. Stephenson, western
member of the Xational Technical Committee, Contest Board,
A. A. A. On Official Technical Observer remained with the
Whippet throughout the trip.
The best previous Transcontinental , record was by the
same driver over same route on an average of 26 miles to
the gallon.
At Los Angeles the gasoline tank was filled to overflow
ing. The entire fuel system was then sealed, the seal being
carried by the observer. It was made impossible to replenish
fuel without breaking this seal. An accurate log of the trip
was kept by the observer, including the faithful entry of all
fuel and oil added. As a further precaution, the carburetor
was dismantled at both ends of the run and micrometer check
ings made of every part.
At the completion of the trip, an official report was pre
pared by the American Automobile Association, certifying
every detail of this remarkable record.

VETOES FARM BILL
From Friday's Dally
This morning President Coolidge
returned to congress the McNary
Haugen farm relief bill which was
passed last' week' by the house and
senate, accompanying the return with
his veto of the measure. The bill is
one that the president condemned as
being unsound and placing the gov
ernment in the position of handling
the grain crop surplus of the nation.
The veto was foreshadowed at the
time of the passage of the bill owing
to the opposition of members of the
cabinet including Secretary Mellon
and Secretary of Agriculture Jardine
as well as tho powerful leaders of
eastern interests.
While the bill had a good majority
in congress the necessary two-thirds
vote to pass it is lacking and the veto
will stand.

The Platte river at the bridges
'north of Ihis city has shown a decided
raise as the result oi me orettKiug m
of the stream in the western section
of the state and the waters of the
Elkhorn that are beginning to sweep
into the Platte. Yesterday afternoon
a raise of three feet in forty minutes
in the Platte was registered here but;
since then the raise has been gradual,
and the water moving out fast. There
is little indication of ice gorges at
any of the points near here and the
ice that is moving is of small quanityj
and not any that would cause any ap-,
prehension. The river here has had(
but little ice the past season and the
mild winter weather has prevented
the forming of the huge ice cakes
that usually are found in the river at
the winter season.
