K. Undoubtedly the most spectacular and practical demonstration ever giv en of the latest development In motor car design—In this case the four wheel brakes—is being carried to thousands of villages, towns and cit ies by the fleet of Oakland true blue travelers which are speeding from the factory to the furthermost Atlantic and Pacific coast cities of the United States. The cars have been on the road for more than a month and in that time have given more than 600 dem onstrations on oil-soaked pavements that have been wet down to present the most treacherous conditions a driver could meet. The cars have at tained a speed of from 35 to 40 miles •an hour on these wet pavement tests, have stopped in a short distance and what is more important have not swerved a fraction of an inch from a straight line. The wheel marks on the pavements have been as straight as the street car tracks near which the demonstrations were frequently given. In all these exhibitions one or more of the officials of the cities in which the demonstrations were given—the police chiefs, fire chiefs, mayors or councilmen rode in the Oakland dem onstrators and letters were volun tarily given to the drivers commend ing this new safety factor in automo bile driving. Throughout the west the Oakland drivers struck weeks of rainy weather in which the roads and trails were simply masses of gumbo, yet despite this handicap all the cars have made their itinerary on time.
