Chevrolet- Truck Econ omy Record Detroit, Feb. 10.—Chevrolet’s truck slogan, “Thrift Carriers for the Nation,” was given further factual backing today, on receipt from Washington of official AAA figures showing that the truck in which Harry Hartz drove from Ottawa, Canada, to Mexico City established a fuel economy record of 67.04 ton-miles per gallon. The unit is a 1 1-2 ton stock Chevrolet model carrying a “payload” of 4,000 pounds of steel. W. E. Fish, manager of the Chev rolet commercial car department, released the official data, covering the 12-day period which began Jan. 14, and summarizing the log main tained by AAA Observer Stanley end were, Misses Lake and Blanche' ^ 0e ^’ 13 y, ldl ^ the truck on ; Middleton, of Columbia, S.

D actual driving, time of 97 hours 21 minutes. Average epeed was 31.0 ’ miles an hour. It took 208.73 gallons of gasoline, costing $40.46, to make the trip, which works out at a fuel cost of $.01339 a mile. The gasoline cost per ton-male was $.00289. These figures reveal the remarkably high ton-miles-per-gallon figure of 67.04, based on the vehicle’s gross weight of 9,260 pounds. Oil economy figures were similar ly striking, Fish pointed out. Oil actually consumed totalled 2.92 quarts in 3,022.2 miles, the cost of the oil amounting to $1.07, he said. Total cost of gasoline, oil, and lu brication, Ottawa to Mexico City, was $43.84, for a total per-mile cost of $.0145 and a per-ton-mile cost of $.00313. Special interest attaches to the results, in Chevrolet officials’ opinion, by reason of the fact that the run was by no means laid out to favor the truck. The first sev eral hundred miles were made through snow and near-zero weather, the intermediate stages through rain, with occasional stretches of mud, and the last 265- mile leg was a mountain climb which necessitated 61 miles of driv ing in second and third gear. Hartz reported it only necessary to fall back on second gear 10 times in the course of the entire trip, and third gear 63 times. No repairs or tire changes were needed in the q 3,022 miles. After delivering goodwill mes sages from Canadian officials to C.,! those at Mexico City, Hartz and Reed retraced their way as far as NOTICE OF SALE 2:30.

S. Customs Service, Treas ury Department. Junior engineer (various optional subjects), $2,000 a year. Full information may be obtain ed from the Secretary of the United States Civil Service Board of Examiners at the post office or customhouse in any city which has a post office of the first or second class, or from the United States Civil Service Commission, Washington, D. C. over from year to year in the soil. Extension Circular 116, The Por table Brooder House, gives full in structions and bill of materials for constructing a brooder house that will accommodate 300 to 350 chicks and that may be moved about the farm with an ordinary farm team. This circular has been revised by Mr. Gooding and reprinted by the Extension Service, and copies may be had on request from county agents or from the Publication. Department at Clemson. The specialist explains furthe that early hatched chicks as i iue aue more profitable because hey mature early enough to lay iggs during the fall and early win cer when egg prices are high. The surplus cockerels which are sold a broilers also bring a higher price early in the spring. Since a goo. brooder house and a heat suppl ire necessary to brood early chick uccessfully while the weather \ .Id, money spent for a well buili jr-oder house is a good investment The portable brooder house de scribed in Circular 116 can also be used as a range house for growing stock and by installing nests and dropping boards it may be used for a small laying or breeding flock.
