SPEED COSTS MONEY

Speed comes high, according to investigations made by the Chicago Motor club. An Associated Press dispatch says that the investigators are convinced that a mile-a-minute clip is from three to four times more expensive than when your speedometer says 40 to 45. After checks made at various speeds, they came to the following conclusions: Oil consumption at 55 miles an hour is seven times greater than it is at 30.

Tire wear at 50 is twice as much as at 40.

Gasoline consumption at 55 is onefourth more than at 30.

No estimate is made of the increased wear and tear on the car at the higher speeds.

Japan's chief trouble, as seen by the editor of the Erie Times, "is a truck complex on an Austin chassis."
