Roseburg, Oregon T IfSICIE One form of courttmy that motor ists ns a group well might display In tlmt Involved in protecting tho other man'H car whon pulling Into or out of n narrow parking h pacts say a Chan. Hall, director for this (lintrlot of the Oregon Stnto Motor association. ! Thousands of dollara of damage to automobiles Is done in this wny monthly, says Mr. Hall. "It unfortunately Is truo that the caroloss motorist can 'get by' with a great deal of the dnmago he doos to tho machines parked along side of his own," anys Mr. '.'Hall. "Ownoi'H of the rimchlnen so In jured cannot stand beside them nil day to check up on tho inconsider ate drlviv but with the acuta dearth of parking space existing, It is becoming nlmost iieceannry to do just that if one wants to make certain that his car will be uii dangered. . "As an exhibition of poor driv ing nnd worse sportsmanship, striking a parked car and failing to notify Its owner .tops thorn all. Tho good driver does not have lo exporlmont. ' He can' moasur a space with his eye and U It Is too narrow for his car, ho is not fool IhIi enough to attempt to ontor It. Some drivers, howevor, will try to get. into a space that Is too small. They will damage tho fenders of the cars parked beside the space unci then,' turn around and flee whon, they have made certain no one has seen them. , "They nre responsible only to themselves for the harm thus dono to their own automobile hut mang ling the fenders of another man's car Is quite another thing. "Of course , there nro many acci dents of this kind that nre forciv able. These nro the onos wherein the offonderlng motorist takes tho number of the other cm nnd re ports to Its owner, that bo has wrounht the damage.

We have built a num ber of these carH and they have been performing even better than we had hoped for under a variety of conditions. "Hut we realize that any .now nulotnoblle that is to gain and hold public esteem today, whether it shall sell for $500 or $10,000, must perform exactly as It. Is designed to perform. The Ford Motor com pany cannot afford to permit the automobile user to discover ; im perfections in those new models. "The building und testing, of these first new cars is costing uilllloiiB of dollars. But it will give ua the complete assurance that we are' offering Iho public a car test ed and proven as a new car should bo. ... "Some of the things we - have discovered'. already In-the tests of these new curs nre interesting.". "Wo have accomplished ' with thorn a speed of 05 miles per hour which is slightly higher than we had expected. "Wo have found that they can be driven for hours at an average speed of more than fitly nillos per hour, without discomfort to driver nnd passengers and without harm to motor and other equipment. : "fn a recent teat one of these now cara was driven 110. miles in two hours. During -the ilrst half- hour the car traveled 27 miles. The car covered exactly 60.1 miles the first hour of the trip. .i: : '.'This test was made over aver age road conditions.

General. Uasollne is still the best. -s A motor car surprise enme in llle ininnnnnetiii.nl hu rtnv n.,t.i,. ing, Hudson-Kssex distributor, of a new lino of Hudson Super-Six cars on a wheolbaso of 118 inches. This new line completes a striking series of Hudson-Essex 'announce ments. Tho Hudson-Essex line, now will be represented by the now Essex Super-Six cms, by tho Hudson Super-Six on the 127 Inch wheolbaso which has been stan dard for .veins, and by the new in lonncdlate line. Two body typos are oftored ami on display in the us inch line. Those are Iho couch at a list price, f. o. b. Detroit, of $1175 and tho l door sedan at $1285. "This new line of cars," said Mr. Catching "is powered with the snme high-compression, nnli knoek motor which Hudson has just in troduced. Perhaps the chief char acteristic of this motor Is that It achlevos hlgh-comprcsslon results with any typo of fuel requiring neither doped nor .special fuels of any typ Also, transmission, axles, four-wheel bralioa ami all other milts of Construction In (he llS lnth car are identical with tlv larger Hudson. The frame - and the propeller shart simply have been altered to bring down the to tal length. "Hudson believes there is no question of (ho groat public de mand lor curs wlih shorter wheel bases. Thousands In fact have ex pressed a desire to the Hudson or gnnlznllon for a car with Hudson characteristics, but with less length. This new line of cars is in response to this demand. The longer wheelbnse will bo continued for those who desire It; the short er cur will fin n demand of It, own. Production on this car has been under way for some time on a largo scale. "Performance of this new car is truly something sensational. It has all (he power of the larger Hudson, and as It Is more com pact and somewhat lighter Its per formance Is even more striking Hfgh compression Is tho vital fac tor of the motor design. For ninnv .veins engineers have said, -Give us the light fuel anil wo fill give you new standards of performance and efficiency.' Hudson engineers went beyond llial and hava obUUneil high compression, and yet the owner can use 'any old fuel.' There is no need to buy gasoline with a premium price. , ' "Hodles for the new cars are made by Hudson In Its own $10, 000,000 body plant. They ure steel built to an outstanding degree of rigidity and sirength; and fashion ed to handsome and pleasing lines. The finish Is In lacqiier-uuo-toiie, with decorative striping, while tho Interiors are attractive with up holstery and fittings of exceptional' beauty." , , - - MAWY FAMILIES "From the present popularity o! tho Chandler Standard Six scries sedans, coupes and roadster, as well as fr,ini an analysis as lo the type of buyers who are choosing these models, the Chandler factory has concluded that this series ' Is enjoying wide favor aa a second car in many families. To substiintlato this ftict that a large market oxIstB today for a car of moderate price, one must' re view tho largo market that is ac tually present. ' The National Au tomobile Chamber 6f Commerce has presented an analysis of two car families as far as data .could be secured, Including a survey by the General Federation of "Wo men's clubs, from which it appears that more than 2,700,000 families in this country possess more than one automobile. In cities, of course, where garage rental . is high, fewer families own two cars; but la suburbs, where a majority of houses are built with two-car garages, from 30 to 40 per cent of motor-owning families have more than one-car.' -On an- average throughout .the country.' It - seems that 18 per cent of - car-owning families possess more ' than . one, and it is, concluded that-,; 10 per cent of all the families ; in the United States havo more than one car. The study of the General Federation of Woniens' clubs em braced a personal cauvas''of 4,101, 000 families, 55.7 per cent' of whom owned automobiles. The National Automobile Chamber of Commerce sent out 20,000 question cards to a random list of motor car owners In ten widely separated states, and the replies to thoso average '3 per cent, of all -' "car-ownluft families with more than one car each1.' . Wider ownership: '-of -cars has been encouraged by. the , present low prices of outomobiles. . It is reasonamXto assume that with the Chandler Six series models ranging in prico from $945 to $1155 f. o. b. factory, that its price range makes it favorable for considera tion from this mnrket of buyers.". , "The second cur in any family Invariably must not onlv be eco nomical from the standpoint of service, but provide beauty nnd performance in keoplng with the standard established by' the first ciir, consequently because - the Chandler standard series provides characteristic beauty and perform ance of the highest priced Chand ler. models, this type . Is meeting with favor In this market," states Stanley Dros., local Chandler, dis tributors. LflSlOELESCBPS FIJNT, Mich., Aug. 24. Tho city of hoa Angeles has paid a tribute to the speed and stamina of Buick by adding 20 lluick touring cars to Its fleet of police department ve hicles, bringing the total number of ltB police-owned Cuicks to 65. The cars are to be used in general police work, as well as in super vision of truffle. The decision to augment the po lice fleet of IJulcks ns a means of Increasing police - efficiency,,, was reached as a result of - a vear's tost with Buicks, Captain C. J. Sweeney, in chargo of the Los Angeles police transportation di vision, explained. . Tests wllli the Buick indicated that It could , be operated with equal safety in all weather, that it cnaoieu police to be constantly on patrol, and that in emergencies it would carry five or even more policemen to tho point where they were needed, along with the equip ment required to take charge of tho situation. . I.-.W: Ulrnbauni, chairman of. the Los Angeles Police commission. believes L,os Angeles.' step is help ing to make police history. "As soon ns the news went out that we -wei'0 about to make this Duick purchase," said Mr. Ulrnbauni, "we received loiters from police heads In several large cities, asking for full Information, and explaining that similar steps were under con sideration there." A purchase which Is considered I a rare slrokn lias just been made I ny i'. j.oriiiard company It was I lor approximately seven million I pounds of the choicest and finest I old southern blight tobaccos, aged i for three years. - This large purchase will ennble ; P.

But he can control farming costs. And any time he brings his costs down, his profits are going to increase. . .. . . You and your family are entitled to the extra profits and extra leisure a Fordson will bring to your farm. , : WHEAT? , - Mete is the experience of a wheat farmer with his Fordson. .. he breaks up his land in about half the time it used to take with horses . . . and javes 71c on e.very acre 1 . , . he disks in half the lime and saves 27c an acre. He pulverizes in a little ove.lr a third of the time . . . and saves 53c an acre. . - he plants in half the time . . . and saves 44c an acre. ' ' he harvests with his binder and Fordson in half the time . . . and saves 35c an acre. -. ., m ' . -, -.'. - t By the time the crop is in, he has saved $2.30 nn acre. He is averaging about 15c a bushel more profit. , ' v " ; . . ..." ' ., From plowing to harvesting, the man who farms with horses nnd mules is paying for a Fordson tractor without having it. Take the job of plowing. A Fordson tractor will' break up land in nlmost. half the time required to do it with mules or horses. And the Fordson plows deeper, more thorough ly, too. , It will ditch and terrace nearljr four times as fast as a team can do it. It will disk a field in less than half the time and prepare a good seed bed in just about a third. , . : -And so on through the various jobs that enter into raising a crop -and in many cases, housing it. Plowing, harrowing, dragging, running rows, planting, drilling, cultivat ng, harvesting the Fordson makes each hou r of your working time, and that of all your help more productive. Handling all the work of horses and mules at a greatly worthwhile saving in time and labor. '. . . . , , : .And its usefulness does not end with just the field work. .Wherever you need power, your Fordson is ready to deliver it. Baling hay, threshing grain, sawing wood, pumping, water, cutting silage, dragging roads, grinding, hauling. And Fordson power is the cheap est power any farmer can use on belt or at the drawbar. . It is perhaps the simplest tractor to operate that has ever' been built. Any man you trust to drive a team can run your Fordson. - And near your farm there is a Fordson service dealer with trained mechanics to take care of any occasional overhaul. Parts are always in stock there at standardized low prices, in keeping with the Ford policy. Work is figured on a flat-rate basis you cnn know in advance what any job will cost. ' ' A Fordson tractor will make any man" s job of farming c. nsier, as well as more prof itable. ' -' - .-!..-... . ' ' ' - , If you are using "animal power," stop and figure a little. See if you don't decide that you actually are paying for a Fordson now . . without having it. C. A. LOCKWOOD MOTOR CO.
