It la assorted that the action ot ttils,
engine and li condition after hard use
are good arguments for the adoption of
the eight-cylinder doslga. It had aeen
three years of service, and the author,
who Is an engineer, and who Inspected
tha torn-down motor carefully, aay its
condition waa as good aa that of a stan
dard American four-cylinder after only'
one season of alm'lar service.
Thla engineer sums up the advantages
of the etch t -cylinder V-type angina by
pointing out that It permits equal amrular
distribution ot power Impulses; Its su

"The stations, with eucli improvements

Mitchell Motor Car
Makes a Run 'that
Establishes Record
The Mitchell motor ear has added an
other record to the long list that It has
heretofore held and a telegram received
lust night from Pittsburgh. Ps., sent to
A. T. Ktewart, manager of the Omaha
Mitchell Motor Car company, tells th
story.
At 1M o'clock yesterday tha Mitchell
car that started out from Pittsburgh on
the 7.5JO-mlle thirty-day reliability car
test pulled up In front of tbe Pittsburgh
Public Bervlce station In perfect condi
tion, with the bonnet seal unbroken,
thus establishing a record, The speedom
eter showed that the car had traveled
7.&1M mllea The car.' as well as tha
seals were pronounced Intact by tha field
inspector. Chief ot Police Noble, hla as
sistant Mr. Mathew. Chief of Police Wat
ley and two members of the commission.
Out many miles west of Pittsburgh th
car was met by a procession ot twenty
five Mitchell machine, carrying orfteer
ot th MItcheil-Lewls Automobile com
pany, the William Hasley Motor com
pany, the newspaper men of tha city, au
tomobile and car tnon. On the road the
car that was Just flnlahlug th remarka
ble tour waa given a tremendous ovation
and another when It pulled up In front
of tha city building, where It waa ahowa
that the machine had substantiated
every claim made by Engineer John T.
Bates, who proved that fhe bonnet seal
had not been broken on the trip.
Engineer Bate told th crowd that at
the end of the trip the engines were run
ning better and more smoothly than on
the day th machine left the factory.
When the Mitchell oar arrived In Pitts
' burvh. the downtown streets over which
It paaaed wer blocked thirty minute
by the .enthusiastic people, the reception
being UeacrlUd a a "regular blase of
glory," Drlvcra Haaley, Zudon and Har
nett were cheered to th echo.
It ao happened that a member of Presi
dent Wilson's bodyguard was lit Pitt
burgh when the car arrived, and he lin
mtvllately announced that after aeeing
what the light Mitchell 4 had done, to
morrow h would pun haxe for the preal
dent'a own uae a Mitchell ,.
The car that made the wonderful trip
in rvcord tune and without having the
seals bruken will be a featurs ot the
Pittsburgh automobile show, occupying
the Mitchell booth.
The Mitchell car paaaed through Omaha
a week ago laat Tuesday, on It way
from tit. Louis to Minneapolis. From Die
last named rlty it went to Chicago and
thence to Pittsburgh. Over much of thla
duitanre the roads were bad, and with
in exception or in in e, when K waa
on paved atreeta, it waa run on lo
tpetd. On the trip aeven pairs of wheel
chains wrre worn out Automobile men
generally agree that the trip waa the
moat severe ever undertaken by an au
tomobile.
