The auto truck and the lighter variety of automobiles drafted Into service has proven very satisfac tory in the larger cities. J. G. Snod graES carries the first honors in start ing the practice here. The tonneau of his newly purchased E. M.. F. 20 wilt be removed and a truck bottom at tach id so that deliveries can be made to any part of the city, during the summer months especially. It is very apparent that the other business men are watching the success of this ven ture and next year will see others following In the wake of the leader in this movement. Pendleton, April 15. (Special.) An antomobjle club Is the latest organiza tion to be advocated In Pendleton and Umatilla county. A number of gaso line burners gather ;4 In the rooms of the Commercial association this week and discourse the formation of such a club to some extent and a pa per ill probably be circulated among auto owners soon to secure members, after which a meeting will be held and an organization perfected. The purpose of an auto club would b; good roads first, last and . all the time, as explained by one of the promo ters today. It would operate In con nection with the Good Roads asso- ClHllOU, me t mi uioib tmuu ouu uv Commercial . organizations to secure leglsla n to that end but would sro farther and secure temporary improve ments by Its own efforts. - When a bad tinued Mr. Michelln, "four antl-skld tires are not necessary, only two be ing required to assure safe driving under all road conditions. One anti skid should be fitted on cne of the" front whee.ls, and one on the opposite rear wheel. If the driver sits on the right sld?, then the best disposition of io niHi-onm luvo Ull Lilt; llgui, UU(U wneel and one on the left rear wheel, but if the car drives from the left side, like. Reo cars and Fords, then the anti skid should be fitted to the left front and right rear wheels. Of course the two rubber tires that-are removed when the anti-skids are fitted may be kept for spares for the two wheels still earring ordinary tires. ' "The. advantages of the tire equip ment suggested, are, first, safety be cause of the two antl-sklds prevent accidents due to skidding on wet or muddy streets or when driving on Ice-covered roads, and second, the two -rubber treads hold firmly on hard dry pavements. Then aain the economy of ths Michelln combination is appar ent, only two antl-sklds being requir ed nstead of four. Users of small or medium powered cars are now en abled to adopt 'antl-sklds at a moder ate Investment Of course drivers of heavy limousines and other high-pow-i ered cars have always used them." 48 8 8 $4$4 I.
