H & & & B 1 A record motor car run between Lob Angeles, H j Cal., and Rhyolite, Nev., a distance of nearly 400 B miles, was made a week ago by Fred H. Vah- B renkamp and a party of friends, in a 35 H. P. B Peerless Touring car. The car left Rhyolite at 11 H a, m., Tuesday, and arrived at Los Angeles on K Thursday at 1:30 p. m. The entire trip was B made without a mishap, in spite of the fact that B' the route of the trip led through Death Valley, B and almost the entire road was extremely rough B: and nearly impassable in places. The desert on- B countered between Zabrlskie and San Bernardino B; t was terribly rough .going. Though the sand in fl; , some aprta of Death Valley was up to the hubs B, of the car, the run on Wednesday was over 200 B miles. The driver, Dick Allen, is known as the H; youngest chauffeur in the state of Nevada. He said it was a "tough experience," but the thought of a return trip did not seem to worry Bj him much. & H j C. G.

He sold three cars in rapid H succession, one day last week, and he seemed H to think that a good day's work. A Peerless B roadater was purchased by Ralph Pulitzer and B 3t) H. P. touring models were sold to F. L. Cran- B ford and Hamilton W. Carey. H AMERICAN CAR WILL COMPETE ABROAD. H ! Over the picturesque highways of Bavaria a H Wisconsin-made automobile wil strive in Juno j to wrest the Herkomeu trophy from the pick of j the foreign shops. A R?r ler car, driven by Carl Hirseh, a publisher tu. sportsman of Con- stad, Baden, Germany, will be among the entries. Mr. Hirsoh was in Chicago last week and made arrangements for the shipment of a forty-horsepower, four-cylinder touring car from the Kenosha Ken-osha factory of the Thomas B. Joffery company. This will probably be the only American car in the tour. No American has yet announced his willingness to follow in the footsteps of Percy Pierce and enter the contest as did the Buffalo autoist last year. Motor Field. j5 jt & WATCH THE "KNOX WATERLESS."

Pitsburghers are not in the least disgruntled because the odorous Howard Gould scandal is of New York vintage. They have enough eftluvial scandals of their own. The Reo Hill Climber the feature in which the Knox Waterless is supreme su-preme by right of every known test the Knox requires the least attention per mile to obtain the required results and has proven itself a car equal to every requirement, responding to your control whether going fast or slow in a manner that speaks perfect mechanism. The principle of cooling in the Knox engine is as simple as effected, and after the various demonstrations made here in Salt Lake, proves itself equal to every occasion.
