OREGON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 24, 1921) NUMBER 254 TOURIST FINDS ALL ROADS EASY Standardized Automobile Maintenance Big Im provement This Year KKNOS11A, WiH., Aug. 24 Stan dnrdized automobile maintenance, has made all roads easy for the J tH'ii tourist army. Thousands of motorists arc heading into llu dim distances and enjoying tin; tfiealest of all hitfh way vacation seasons as never be fore, thanks to this development, to standard .service tools and to better service education, according to Nash Motors company engineers M ho have completed a mid-summer survey of the national conven iences offered motor pilgrims In every nook and corner of the coun try. The survey shows that Nash maintenance has reached tho height of its development following years of intensive study and con stant improvement, insisted on by ('. W. Nash as one of the founda tions of his highly successful man ufacturing policy. Kor years it 1ms been an axiom with Mr. Nash that courteous attention to the needs of the car owner is as vital after he lias pin-chased his car as it is when he is a sa les prospect. One Can Do .Much Harm "One dissatisfied owner can ' cause more harm to an organiza tion of any kind than a hundred satisfied owners can mend," he has told Nash distributors, dealers, and their working forces during scores of personal Inspection trips. Service facilities are always a point of par ticular interest fur the industrial leader, and he makes It POWERFUL AND FAST mmmmL i mum M E N U S The latest and fastest hi army battle tanks is (lie atitoiuoilve industry's latest contribution lo the world id Wilde-.

Every "trouble prevention" and a utomohllc maintenance require ment Is provided for by the stan dard Nash operations, which nuikp it so easy and economical for own ers to enjoy their cars to the limit without any of the Inconveniences, delays and road repairs which marked the early days of motoring. , A series of rcicfllar inspections j each witli its nominal standard j price keeps the cars in perfect condition for the thousands or drivers who have learned to take full advantage of the famous Nash maintenance system. This regular attention, the survey shows, pre vents any posi.ibllity of big repair bills that might result from neglect 1 or drivjug caruleiwnesg. and iias. helped materially lu bring Nash service demand to the. lowest point in company history.

SPEeI) ARMY TANK TRAVELS AT FAST CLIP With the joining of practically all nations in a pact for universal peaee. there is little likelihood of , another catastrophe Hkv the World War. It is well and wise to be j prepared. Imwever, say statesmen I of the nation. Sharing in this opinion is J. j Walter Christie, one of the auto-j motive industry's foremost end- ( neeis. who has just perfected an ! eight ton armored tank capable oi ; a speed of nearly 7 rulfes an houi. According to a message received by Mr. I'eterson, local Dura tit. deal er, from Norman de Vatix, head or the Western' Dimwit factory, a Duratit Six Sixty-six sedan, with tmir fdi-ward speeds, paced the new enmne .( destitu tion over a meas uied mile course at ! i miles an hour, duiiug an official army test. While tins sensational speed was attained on a d higbway, ( 'bristle's invention also Is ca p alde of bih spetd over muk'h ground. I'apt. K. A. l.eavall. o!

Skill Plays Bi Part In Solving Traffic Problems The motorists' comfort and safe ty on streets and highways would be impossible today without" the -engineering genius built into the n nnint I modern automobile, according to I.. ( Smith, local dealer for Dodge Brothers niolor cars. "If the millions of cars on the roads today were operating with tho mechanical equipment offered on the cars of 1 fi years ao, the public, would have a real traffic menace." said Mr. Smith, "Hut automotive manufacturers are building cars with more flexibility and greater braking facilities 'th.it in reality enable more cars to be on the street with swifter move ment of traffic than was ever dreamed a Jew years ago. "The Ne,v Dodge Itndhers Six c-onipared to the first Dodge car ol i:U-J presents a fair comparison to prove the point. Just as the latest Dodge creations offer startling de velopments in motor car appear ance and performance, so the 11)14 Dodge was a leader in Its day. Each was built lo fill the current dema nds of automotive transpor tation. "Four wheel hydarulie internal expanding brakes, powerful six cylinder engines with maximum flexibility, finger tip steering, and simplified controls that are. to a great degree automatic, have made present day driving the easiest and safest possible. "Hiding qualities have also come in for their part In the evolution of the motor car. Fifteen years ago. a drive of lafl miles was a .day's work. Now uoo to 4(H) miles and more is an accepted day's ourney, and the driver arrives at his destination with little fatigue, l-'orm fitting cushions, flexible springs, hyduaiilic shock absorbers, balloon tires and improved roads have brought about this transfor mation. "In dependability and economy of operation, such striking ad vancements have been made that the owner of a nuudern car can plan a trip with the cerlalnty of train schedules, with the cost far below aiy other period lu the his tory of the motor car 'travel'." . I'MXti IT I r "Why were you driving so fast this morning?" "Well, the judge fined me five dollars for speeding yesterday, and he couldn't change my- ten-dollar bill; so he told me to go out ana speed It out." Wild: Wlifil's the matter with Maliel: has she rheumatism? Wilder: No. She's been posing for the iellow who designs figures for i a dial or raps. Ily Sister Mury On a hot summer morning the task of rolling and cutting cookies becomes wearisome, ao why not ma ke drop cookies? As an accompaniment for iced lea or coffee with an Ice or mousse cookies, seem, nunc suitable than cake. They are easier to handle at informal affairs, and have a firm ness of texture that contrasts well with u beverage. I'lain drop cookies perhaps are more desirable for children, but those w it h nuts and raisins will bo liked by grown-ups and impart a rather fastive air lo any occa sion. Chocolate drop cookies will be liked by grown-ups and impart quite so good with iced tea or cof fee. Vanilla Ice cream and orange lee are particularity good with choco late cookies. Here's Dclieate C-niifeeilon The little drop cook led made with egg whites are delicate con fections. Nuts, cocoanut or candied frulls are added as the cook pre fers. Keek in mind 'that a slower oven Is needed for tho cookies made with the whiles of eggs than for other varieties. llran, or rolled oats often are used with wnlte flour to make drop cookies. A small amount of white flour is used to keep tho cookie from crumbling after baking. Al most any cookie rule can be turned used .Only enough flour is needed to make tho dough of "drop" con sistency. Since cookies keep much better than cake they can bo mado lu largo quantities and stored to use an wanted. A stone covered jar or tin covered box will keep cookies either moist or crisp as one prefers them. OREGON TOWN WILL BECOME MINING SITE ('!

Aug. 24 Produc tion of Ihe Willys-Knight Clreal Six lias now reached the stage ol I'&OU units per month, a large vol ume for a car in its price class. The incorporation of certain addi tional features in tills style leader .subsequent to the preliminary showing at the National Automo bile Show accounts for delays In reaching present volume. Now, according to company officials, Ihe Great Six Model stands in a front line position among IUH0 typo mo tor earn. The Willys-Overln nd company for a number of years past has relied upon models in the price class of the Great Six as important factors in earning power, and the lack of such a model during tin earlier months this year has nat urally deferred a considerable pro- tit. Now, with production having fully swung into tin; anticipated volume to meet waiting orders, It is expected that sales within this range will have a very helpful ef fect upon tho company's 1'lnuucial showing for the last half.
