DRIVES CAR 94,000
MILES IN 13 MONTHS
Los Angeles Man Establishes
New Record for Continu
ons Driving of Auto,
mobile.
What is believed to be a world
record for continuous driving of an
automobile is that of J. A. Van Horn
of Los Angeles, Cat. For thirteen
months he has been engaged in the
transportation of newspapers from
that city to banta Barbara in a Chand
ler car and during that period covered
the amazing distance of 94,000 miles
(nearly four times the circumference
of the earth), the car being equipped
wnn uooaycar cora iires.
Van Horn loads his car each morn
ing with papers which weigh half a
ton and which usually increases to
1,500 pounds on Sundays. Whenever
passengers wish to make the trip with
him the newspapers are hauled in a
trailer. The capacity of both car and
trailer is taxed to transport the Sun
day edition. .
Never Lost a Minute.
In commenting on his record re
cently Mr. Van Horn said: "I have
never lost a minute because of the
car being out of condition. I have
put it through the severest oossible
service. My car has become the talk
of other car owners all along the
route and the run has been so resru
lar thti some people say they can tell
the time by my passing. My Good
year oversuea cora tires nave oeen
averaging 12,000 miles. My daily run
has been 237 miles and in the thir
teen months I have missed only three
days. I have kept an accurate ac
count ot gasoline mileage and have
figured that my car averages fifteen
miles to the gallon. To operate 94,
000 miles has required more than
6,000 gallons of gasoline, costing more
tnan jiw.
Marmon Makers Need
Few Changes of Design
"It is being widely said among mo
torists that the newer automobiles are
ahowing strongly the- influence of
Marmon's scientific design," said H.
Pelton, distributor for the Nordyke &
Marmon company, "and it is interest
ing to notice that the Marmon is ore
paring to enter its third year without
. finding it necessary to make any rad
ical changes in design. The im
portance of this year, to motor car
buyers who wish to have the most re
cent model of the car they buy, is ap
parent -
"Tht Marmon is a car that in truth
is a many year car, serving its buyers
of 1916 just as satisfactorily in 1918
as it will those who buy the latest
model. Of course, mechanical refine
mentt are ' being introduced in the
Marmon constantly, but these are all
available to the owner of an earlier
model of the Marmon 34 at a reason
able cost, and the Marmon driver who
wishes to have his car up to the very
latest in appearance and service will
find that overhauling and painting it
with perhaps a few minor mechanical
changes, will satisfy him just as well
as the purchase of a new car. It is
worth much to own t car that does
not make it necessary to buy another
model to keep m vogue.
"One of the less apparent but very
important effects of Marmon's scien
tific construction is this reform of the
old and wasteful habit of having a
new model each season. The present
Marmon construction bids fair, many
motorists think, to be the most ad
vanced expression of motor car build
ing for some time to come, and with
the many advances in detail of me
chanical design that the Marmon en
gineers constantly are producing there
is little likelihood of a sweeping change
from the design now set Sy the Mar

Soldier Is Punished
For Impersonating Priest
(Correspeaoenc ot The Associated front.)
Orleans, France, July 5. A soldier,
named Taillebois, has been sentenced
by courtmartial to a year's imprison
ment and 250 francs fine for imper
sonating a Catholic priest and swind
ling Catholics. Taillebois is not a
Catholic himself. He assumed the
name of Father Henry, gained the
confidence of a number of priests and
parishioners of Orleans and the sur
rounding country, officiated in several
churches and chapels, heard confes
sions, administered communion in
many communes, all the while receiv
ing money for masses and for chari
table objects. His downfall came
from an attempt to preach in a church
at St Jean le Blanc. The cure of
the commune found his doctrine was
not altogether Catholic and asked for
information regarding the wandering
priest from Monseigneur Gibier, bis
hop of Versailles, who exposed the
swindle. i : -
Dutch Plan to Control
Exports Meets Opposition
(Correspond net of Th Associated Treat.)
The Hague, Netherlands, July 3.
The Dutch government's bill to estab
lish a state monopy of exports, both
of home-produced and imported pro
ducts, has aroused widespread oppo
sition, and it has been held up so far
as the present parliament is con
cerned. , The measure is nevertheless likely
to be pushed in the new parliament.
The thorny problems centering
around the country's foreign trade
are regarded as calling for drastic
and extraordinary methods. More
Over, it is openly stated by the gov
ernment that, with the arrival of
peace, a period will begin when the
nation will find it even more neces
sary than now to guard against ex
haustion of Holland's supplies by
foreign demand at excessive prices.
Plan to Bore Tunnel
Beneath the Irish Sea
(Correspondence of The Associated Frcra.)
London, July 4. Plans for the con
struction of a tunnel under the Eng
lish Channel and the linking up of
the east and west coast of Scotland by
a ship canal have been engaging con
siderable attention lately. More re
cently the proposal to bore a tunnel
beneath the Irish Sea has been re
vived. '

A Performance That Proved
- This is the story of one of the most gmefling tests to which an automobile
was ever subjected. . , -
Remember as you read it that the car was a Series 18 Studebaker taken
from a dealer's stock, that there were no trained service-men at specially estab
lished' ''controls" to care for it, that the trip itself was not 'factory planned,'
that it was just an. ordinary tour.
No Special Preparations
On May JOth lait, this Studebaker car
left San Francisco as the pilot car for a
caravan of advertising men going to the
St. Louis contention. '
No special preparations were made as
far as the ear tras concerned. The trip
tras to be a long one but nothing un
usual was expected.
The first two days were pleasant and
the roads were good.
Seas of Dobe Mud
The third day found the party at
Lovelock, Nevada, in a pouring rain.
The harder it rained, the stickier and
more tenacious became the 'dobe mud.
In places the pools were hub deep. This
mud was cement-like in its consistency
it took a pick and shovel to remove it
from the , wheels. Yet' the Studebaker
car pulled sturdily along and showed
ample reserve power for conditions even
more difficult. This lasted for three days
until they reached Salt Lake City. '
Over the Rockies in a Blizzard
Leaving Salt Lake City they 6tarted
for Evanston, Wyoming, traveling the
latter half of the distance through one
of the hardest rainstorms imaginable
the road was washed out and the car had
to find its own way over rocks and along
ledges that seemed impassable.
Starting ' from Evanston for Fort
Bridger they ran intff a blizzard, which
at lower levels turned into rain.
The road was a veritable canal.
At one point they only made nine
miles in five hours (the picture above
shows why).
More Rain and Mud
'AH the way through Colorado the rain
continued and kept up as the car
struggled through the gumbo mud of
Western Kansas.' -
Even between Topeka and Kansas
City the roads were in awful condition.' .
Arrived in Perfect Running
Condition .
At Kansas City the clouds Med, the
sun shone and the rest of the run to St.
Louis was made without incident.
Despite its all but unsurmountable diffi
culties the Studebaker car arrived in St.
Louis only 3H hours behind schedule in
perfect running condition and havingonly
changed one tire during the entire trip.
So well had it come through its terrible
experience that the car was driven on to
Detroit to the Studebaker factories with
out an overhauling whatsoever.
This performance is further proof of
the remarkable durability of Studebaker
cars a durability that is due to one
thing onlythe mechanical perfection
of this splendid automobile.
Any car that will come through a test
like this in perfect running condition
any car that will perform as this one did
is worth your serious consideration you
owe it to yourself to get a Studebaker
demonstration before you buy any car.
There will be no change in Studebaker models this year,
but the increased cost, of materials and labor may force Stude
baker to make an advance in prices at any time without notice.
