PHONE 438 ROSEBURG, ORE. s Those first few warm days of spring inspire one big impulse that of a cri loaded with camping equipment, the green hills, a per feet highway and nothing to do hut travel and return to your leisure. And that Is just what .hundreds . of motorists all over the country are doing right now, or are plan ning to do in the very near fu ture. There are more camping spots now than ever before, for nearly every grove of trees har bors a camping grounds, and there are places all along the way fitted to supply the demands of - the most fastidious. Naturally this brings one right to the heart of the matter, name ly, camping equipment. This is of interest to practically everyone who goes on a motor and there Is no time like, the present for look ing over the camping equipment stored away In the ghrago,. and add to it tho things that you need ed on the last trip.

NEWLAND & SON Roseburg, Oregon. v A USED CAR IS ONI.V AS DEPENDABLE r AS -m&DeAL&R. WHO SELLS IT There aro few vital parts of a car which are subjected to so many elements ,thattend to lessen, its efficiency and possibly ' no unit that is mora neglected than . the universal joint, due perhaps to its inconveniently- accessible position, a ffencral misunderstanding of its vital functions, and the service de mantled of same. The petallfc type should have careful attention, both as to Inspection and lubrication. The general practice fs to recom mend lubrication and- Inspection every week or. every thousand miles. In some cases semi-fluid grease is recommended while In others qil is. used. About two tlilrds full is tho proper Quantity to apply, for any in excess of. this is thrown qut due to the aclfon of the joints. Tho centrifugal force actuated by tho spinning unit has a tendency to throw the lubricant away from tho bearing surfuces and through tho recoss in tho cov er. Every v-ve thousand miles drain tho lubricant, forco a little kerosene into the housing with an oil gun to wash out the old lubri cant. Use only tho best quality of lubricants, and when greaso is used, a little oil should first be Introduced as this has a tendency to establish lubrication 0 that when the grease thins down it will find Its way Into the bearings.

' HOLES IN METAL When drilling large holes In. sheet nu'tal, tho common practice Is to scribe a circle of tho required diameter, and then, after drilling a scries of holes Iti the circumfer ence, the metal between is broken away.. This not only consumes a lot of time, Hut frequently gives unsatisfactory results., A much bellcr method is to use a reamer. Tl;i? amer can eTly bo made by tho average air owner. A piece of round sleel fs filed to a taper and Is then cut away on one side to slightly past tin center, in use, a small hole Is first drilled and then enlarged witU tho reamer. Automobile Digest. . . In one of tho most spectacular trials ever stugod in the east, a .Whliwet Six roadster recently set a nigti mark when it mamtalned a speed of better than a mile a minute over a 23-mile course. The test was staged on the board auto mobile race .track operated by the Atlantic City Motor Speedway. William Uraddon, ot Audubon N. J., piloted the Whippet six dur ing the thrilling 23-mile test which was made under the mast ad verse weather conditions. The car Braddon drove In the test was a strictly stock model, the first Block automobile iver driven on . the world's lons iat board race track. As the Whippet was started off on the first lap, conditions were fair but after a few minutes a heavy mist began, to fall and shortly thereafter the board track became slippery making the going extremely hazardous, especially at the high rate of speed maintained. Because of this, perilous condition of the track . Braddon Blackened the pace of the Whippet Six dur ing tlio remanider of the test. At the end of tho 23 miles the Whippet Six glided up to tho fin ish line and the stop watches showed that the car traveled the 23 miles in 22 minutes. Braddon declared that had tho track re mained dry for the entire length of the test the speed average of tho Whippet would have been much better than the mark set. Despite the high rate of sneed the Whippet Six motor at the end of the test was cool and declared to be capable of continuing inde finitely at the same spend with out showing any ill effects. -' How's She Hittin' ' BY ISRAEL, KLEIN Science Editor, NEA Service The most elusivo troublo-mnkcr for the innocent motorist is that confined, in. the electrical appara tus. . , The car Buddonly refuses to budge.
