OVERLAND STARTS BIG TEST DASH TO THE COAST The official route of the Overland trans-continental test for stamina and economy has been announced. The car will follow in the main the Lincoln highway from New York City to San Francisco. It left New York at midnight Sunday, July 18. The route takes the Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh, Canton, ( Fort Wayne, Chicago Heights, Cedar Rapids, Des Moines, |, Omaha. North Platte, Cheyenne, Rock Springs, Salt Lake City, Reno and Sacramento. The surprising feature of the test is the fact that the stock car chosen for the run is driven for the most part by drivers. who have had no previous experience with this car. As 'the car approaches the territory of an Overland distributor it will be turned over to a man selected by the distributor in that territory who will drive to the line of his neighboring distributor's territory. Thus the car will be subjected to wide variety in methods of driving and its gasoline * and oil consumption record can be freely accepted as a record which any careful driver could attain. Observers will trail the standard- setting Overland in another car. The Overland will then be relayed across the United States, a different driver taking . the wheel in each Overland distributor's territory tra- versed. This relay driving is a new feature | in automobile runs. The territory of at least 25 Overland distributors will be crossed. This will provide at least 25 different drivers for the car. None of these men will ever before have i] sat at the wheel of this Overland. No {| two men drive alike.

The highly skilled and expert con- test driver's ability to get an extra mile from the last drop of gasoline will be replaced in this run by the common fortunes of the average motorist. The Overland run is expected to answer several questions of im- mediate interest to the auto public. First: How much gas will be needed ot carry this car in a run almost equal to a year's usage by the aver- weather and over roads that vary age driver? Second: How much oil will be needed properly to lubricate the mechanism and keep it, as far as lubrication can, trouble-free?
