The first group WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1919 : 9 Exhaust EXACTING TESTS NOW MAKE OVERLAND 4 PERFECT MECHANISM The testing of motor cars, like the building of motor cars, has under- gone marked advancement during the last few years. New standards have been created and new mechanical testing devices have been perfected to keep pace with the development of the automobile itself. It remained for the Willys Overland Company, however, to supply the supreme test to its latest model, Overland 4 which has just been an- nounced. This test, it is believed, standards of testing and refinement of details to make a car practically perfect mechanically before it goes to an owner. The history of the development, building and testing of Overland 4, which introduces the new three point spring suspension, covers a period of years. The car is the product of a decade of progressive engineering achievement toward the ideal light weight car; of a year's intensive en- gineering experiment and two year's actual demonstration and test in all kinds of weather and all sorts of roads. During the two years of test, Over- land 4 was given 250,000 miles of act- ual road demonstration. That's ten times around the world before a single car went on the market. These tests were of great value to the engineering and the production departments of the Willys Overland Company and, finally, to the man who buys the car. A staff of engineers studied, the car during these 250,- 000 miles of test to determine every refinement and improvement that might be necessary to make the car when it went on the market free from service troubles and of assured economy in operation and perfect ease of riding because of the new three point springs. The value of 250,000 miles of ex- haustive testing may further be judged from the comparison with the usual custom of sending a new car into the market after it has been pounded on roads in some 25000 to 75,000 miles of demonstration. Over- land '4, it is said, is the first car that has gone on the market with a pedi- gree of perfect production. after two years of constant testing. The section of the country picked for these tests was in Nature's laboratory of the uthwest, Colo- rado, New Mexico and Arizona. TI nature seems . 'unfinished, a ro rock-strewn, tortured country. It was there that the engineers decided that the suspension three: p springs could b i supreme test of the unexcel e of rid- ing which they have now introduced. Accordingly a fleet of Overland 4s were sent into this section. A staff of engineers accompanied the cars to watch every hour of performance. In Colorado the cars' were set to work scaling mountain 'sides, twisting and turning around thé hairpin turns of the preciptious cliff and mountain sides and rolling over the boulder- strewn roads. There was plenty of mud-seas of it, thick and sticky as glue, hub and running board deep Echoes l] In New Mexico, there were great stretches of deep shifting sand, which threaten to rack and twist the fram- es of ordinary motor cars.' In Ari- zona, there were great stretches of plain, innumerable river streams to ford, worse mud than ever before and stretches of road that were so rough and tortuous that they resembled | saw-tooth blades of scraggly, sharp rocks. No better testing ground can be found than in the Rocky Moun-| tains. vo Over these roads, Overland 4 was pushed to the utmost. Days were, spent in mud, in streams, twisting through rocky defiles, scaling, bould- er-sprinkled hills and mountain sides. [& The drivers were amazed night after night with their freedom from fatigue because of the easy riding of the cars due to the wonderful three point spring suspension. The cars were found in perfect mechanical condition after each examinajion by the engineers. The three. point springs had saved the cars, had giv- en a new ease and comfort 'to the drivers; the balanced light construc- tion had conquered the worst of the roads; the power of the car itself had pulled it out of road situations in which horses were found hopeless- ly mired and dozens of automobiles were passed, sunk deep and inmov- able. While these tests were going on, other tests were being made in the | ff country within a radius of 300 miles of the factory. : The new three point suspension springs had done everything the en- gineers had hoped for in saving the car and introducing an almost un- canny ease of driving; the all-steel construction of the car gave it a ruggedness unusual in any light car. It was in these tests that the Willys Overland company developed the. phrase which describes Overland 4, because of its three point springs, as the most important improvement in motor car construction since pneu- matic tires.

"What's the matter, sister?" asked the pastor. "The Ford never went any place that it couldn't make the round trip, and I am sure that all of those people in hell will be back," she answered. "So praise the Lord." GIRLS AT N. U. HAVE LIFE-SAVING CORPS In the swim? Socially Northwest- ern women are all of that. And now, pratically and nauticafly speaking, a new movement on the campus promise to change the purple fair] into real mermaids. According to plans fostered by the American Red Cross through its rep- resentative, Dr. H. G. Gentles, North- western University is soon to have a life-saving corps composed entirely of women. Charter number two from the A. R. C. is to be issued to the purple organization upon the forming of the corps and the work begun. Practice will be held Tues- day and Thursday afternoons in the Northwestern natatorium, where the candidates will try their skill at res- cuing both dummy and life subjects. Dean Mary Ross Potter is president of the organization. CHILDREN HOLD PAGEANT At eevry State fair. held this year, the boys and girls' club of the State gave a pageant. In, some only a comparatively few children took part, but in others there fewe a large number. At the Interstate Fair at Spokane, Wash., 300 'children par- ticipated in the pageant. The parade, was composed of three groups, were in' red, the second in white, and the third in blue. At the end of the parade was a girl dressed as Miss Columbia. Canning, dairy, and big work each had a handsome float de- voted to ims activities. HOW MILK IS USED Estimates made by the United States Department of Agriculture show how the 87,905,000,00 pounds of | milk produced in the United States annually are utilized. Forty-four and one-half per cent is used as fresh milk for human food purposes, while 36 per cent of the gross supply is converted into butter, and 4.5 per cent is made into cheese; another 4.5 per cent 1s transformed into canned milk, 4 per cent is used in ice cream making, 4 per cent is used in feeding calves and hogs on the farms of origin, and 2.5 per cent'is lost in shrinkage and' other waste of the dairying industry. oe CENTRAL 6402 Wilcox Studio of Millinery 1010 Marshall Field Annex ORIGINATOR DESIGNER oe g ; leading studios in the Chicago Loop Telephone Evanston 2238 = Hoyburn Theater Building Ry ¥ 615 Davis St., Evanston MATINEES 2 and 4 "Evenings. 7 and 9} |. 31 ..
