The car driven by Leo Norton, load
ed with grain, in which Mrs. Norton
and her son were riding, was on its
way home, and the car that collided
with Norton's was driven by J. L. As
sen, who was on his way t0 Coquille,
Oregon. In this automobile were al
so Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Kelly and fam"
Jly. Ag the cars were about to pass
another car appeared in sight ,and in
order to make room for the on coming:
machine, the drivers of the first
tw0 automobiles started toward the
bank at the side of the road, and the
wheels skidding on the slippery pave
ment caused both to collide.
The machin driven by As sen and
that driven by Norton were going at
about 20 miles per hour. None of
the other passengers were injured.
Both cars were somewhat damaged.

"N OW-A-DAYS"
says the Good Judge
A man can get a heap more
satisfaction from a small chew
of this class of tobacco, than
he ever could get from a big
chew of the old kind.
He finds it costs less, too. The
good tobacco taste lasts so
much longer he doesn't need
to have a fresh chew nearly
as often.
Any man who uses the Real
Tobacco Chew will tell you
that.

The Crown-Willamette ball team
retained its lead in the Willamette
valley series when it defeated the
Hillsboro team Sunday by the score of
of 4 to 2.
At the same time the United Artis
ans administered a 2 to 1 defeat to
the Sherwood sluggers and the Klrk
patricks trimmed the Oswego aggrega

Errors were responsible for the ma
jority of runs made by both teams
in the Crown- Willamette-HIllsboro
contest. Seven boots were chalked
up against the Hillsboro contest. Sev
en boots were chalked up against the
Hillsboro team, while the Oregon City

Falls City team's pitching ace, was
not in danger once during the game
and did no have to extend himself m
winning the contest. Gray for Hills
boro pitched good ball, fanning seven
men.

Moonshine and gasoline will never mix. Intoxi
cated drivers are a menace to the safety of innocent peo
ple and drunken joy riders have no place tin the public
highways, ( The evil is especially noticeable between
Willamette valley points and the city of Portland.
This week an Oregon City business man, driving
home from a social function with his wife, was run down
and narrowly escaped fatal injury. In the car that
struck him were six people, three of them women. It
was apparent they were in no condition to be piloting an
automobile, where carefulness is so essential.
It is becoming too common for people to load up
on cheap booze and start out for a night ride. Fre
quently they steer wildly along until they collide with
another car and death or injury results. Arrests some
times follow, but convictions are few and penalties light. .
The result is that the culprits, -jubilant over their ill-deserved
freedom, have not learned the lesson of restraint
and often repeat an offense that should be punishable by
a long jail sentence, coupled with a permanent revoca
tion of the driver's license.
Stiff fines have no effect upon such people. If
they are able to pay, they seem willing to part with mon
ey, but the prospect of months of incarceration might
deter them from a mad and riotous career.
Death stalks along the trail of the moonshine
driver. The reaper perches with a grin upon the radiator
cap, and leaps joyously away as his prey is launched into
eternity.
Ineffective laws or laxity of enforcement, or both,
are responsible. There is no excuse for the man, with
muddled brain, taking the lives of others into his hands.
He should never be allowed to touch the wheel of an
automobile and ought to be given ample time to reflect
upon the enormity of his crime behind the prison bars.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Ju ie 14
John G. Emery of Grand Rap Ids,
Tuesday was elected national com
mander of the American Legion.
The Grand Rapids man, who was
one of the five national vice-commanders
of the legion, was chosen by ac
clamation by the executive, commit
tee of the legion to succeed Frederick
W. G-albraith, national commander
who met a tragic death in an automo
bile accident here last Thursday.
Captain Emery served with distinc
tion during the Montdidier-iNoyon and
Aisne-Marne offensives, where he
commanded F company of the Eight
eenth infantry regiment of the first
division.
He led the First battalion of the
Eighteenth infantry over the St. Mi
hiel and Argionne-Meuse offensives
and was wounded severely by shell-
fire October 9, 1918. - He was return
ed home immediately.
St. Louis Police
Will be Uniformed
As is the common practice for most
cities, the police department of St.
Louis for the past few years had a
large number of policemen in civilian
clothes, and even in some cases civ
ilians patroling in. Fords -or other
makes of automobiles, in order to in
tercept violators of the speed laws.
Stewart McDonald, who was re
cently appointed a police commission
er of St. Louis, is also president -f
the Moon Motor Car company, and
while fully concurlng in the matter
of rigidly handling careless driving
and violations of the traffic and speed
ordinances, he has taken an entirely
different view of the situation.
He has placed all motorcycle of
ficers back in uniform and done awaj
entirely with the sneaking and ordi
nary detective method of apprehend
ing violators. Mr. McDonald states
that he is of the firm conviction that
fully 9 or even 97 per cent of the
violatdrs f tne speed an traffic tn
dinances do so unconsciously.
"The great majority of owners of
automobiles are law-abiding citizens,
taxpayers and the very ' bone and
sinew of our national fabric," he say.. !
"Tfcey believe in not only making
the laws, but in upholding them. Why, '
then, &hould they be hunted down with
a lot of gumshoe methods that are ap
plicable to only thieves, crooks, bui so
lars, etc?"
Entirely aside from the fact that
these respectable citizens are entitled i
to civil treatment, Mr. McDonald is
of the opinion that the speed and traf
fic violatons can even be dismissed
by the very fact that the motorcycle
policemen are in full uniform.

MECHANICAL CONDITION
CONTROLS GAS CONSUMPTION
A car's mechanical condition has
a great deal to do with its gasoline
consumption, and if certain details
were only given proper attention at
state periods, the gas average of
many cars would be materially Increased.
The proper oiling and greasing of a
car, tire inflation, carburetor adjust
ment and coasting when the oppor
tunity offers, add to gas mileage
Take a car that is in need of greasing,
that has not hal its oil changed at
every thousand miles and with tires
underinflated, and give it the atten
tion it needs and note the change in
the way it gets over th road.
The change -wilt be so marked that
een the greenest owner and driver
cannot help but mark the car's per
formance after this work has been
done.
Grand Jury Opens
Session on Tuesday
Used-Car Market
Shows Ignorance
Too much can never be said about
the. care of motor cars.
If you will look into the used-car
market today you find that at least
DO per cent of the cars are there simp-
y because their owners didn't know
enoush about his car to take good
care of it.
Some drivers will permit their cn
gine to labor instead of shifting gears.
When running very slowly the added
blowf of the explosion act'ng against
the resistance of the slow-moving
crankshaft set up tremendous strains
ths.t are as dangerous as they are un
necessary.
The dirt that is often allowed t
collect on the outside of engine is
not only an eyesore, tl gets into the
bearings and causes loss of power
and considerable wear and tear. Thi
shortens the life of the engine If nlu
dirt is removed regularly this wear is
prevented and consequently the cur
will last much longer.
A motor that is subject to cci-
siderable vibration is apt 'o have the
cylinders work loose on the crankease
through the loosening of the bolts ir
nuts which hold the engine flown.
wrench should be used occasionally
even on a new car to se-j that bolts
and nuts are tight.
When looking for knocks in the
motor it is not a bad plan to fiiul
out whether the motor is not loose
in the frame. The knock' from this
is not noticeable when the car is run
ning idle but appears on acceleration
or in climbing a hill.
The modern motor car dealer wants
his car taken care of after he sells it
to its future owner. "A car that is
taken care of means a satisfied pu
chaser and a car that is neglected
means the reverse, no matter what
kind of material the car is made of
or what make or model.

LACQUERING BRASS.
It is possible to protect metal sur
face? by applying several coats cf
lacquer or celluloid varnish. The
lacquer should be applied with a
ca'r.el's hair brush after the metal
has been polished highly. There must
be no trace of grease on the brass or
otLer metal when it is lacquered.
The motor bus is proving an import
ant factor in the centralized rural
school movement in various sections
of the country. According to Jake
Risley local dealer in tires and acces
sories made by the Firestone Tire &
Rubber Company, who recently receiv
ed some interesting data from the com
pany tbere are still 212,000 one-room
schools in the United States.
The information shows that these
schools are of the pioneer type and
cannot possibly meet the needs of
modern agricultural life.
In a preface to a bulletin issued by
Fire3tone Ship By Truck Bureau. P.
P. Claxton, commissioner of the U. S.
Bureau of Education, says better roads
are essential to better rural schools.
He MiflO says that the improvement
and consolidation of rural schools and
their use a social centers hare a
marked influence development of the
people in the rural districts.
It seems that farmers, wherever ap
proached on this subject, are almost
unanimously in favor of the consolidat
ed school.
