His statement follows: "Anyone not having a state license and desiring to operate their csS be fore June 1, 1911, must secure a li cense under the old law, the fee being $3. This certificate holds good until July 31, 1911, when it will be neces sary to secure a number under the new law. "The fee under this new law Is based on the horsepower of the vehicle, ac cording to the formula adopted by the Association of Licensed Automobile Manufacturers, which Is found by squaring the bore or diameter of the cylinders times the number of cylin ders and dividing the result by 2. For example, a motor vehicle having six cylinders, the bore of which Is ' five inches. The horsepower of such vehi cle would be S by 6 by 8, divided by 2.5, or 60 horsepower. Registration Fees Shown.

One Rim-Cuts One Cannot One is Skimpy One 10 Oversize The most popular tire on the market today is the Goodyear No-Rim-Cut tire. About 650,000 have been sold To date. Every day we make 2,200 more. The sale this year will reach $15,000,000. The demand has doubled in the past Fix months. It has thrice doubled since two years ago. This patented tire, with amazing quickness, has changed the whole tire situation. All because motorists have proved, ten thousand times over, that No-Rim-. Cut tires cut tire bills in two. No Worry One worry removed is the danger of rim-cutting. The ordinary tire wreck? itself if run flat. ' A punctured tire, in a single block, may be ruined beyond repair. This is impossible with Goodyear No-Rim-Cut tires. They have been run flat in a hundred tests as far as 20 miles. Of all the 650.000 sold, not oo has ever rim cut.

NEW BALL AIDS SCORE XATIOXAIi AXD AMERICAN LEAGUES WONDERING. 1 78 Safe Hits by Players in One Day Is Laid to Livelier Gutta Percha Sphere. CHICAGO. 111.. May 20. (Special.) Ninety-two safe hits in one day by the teams of the National League and 86 on the same day by sluggers of the American League, to say nothing of a grand total of 83 by wallopers of the American Association have set the baseball experts to thinking, especially as two-baggers and three-baggers In this "swatfest were ordinary achieve ments and only home runs were limned in distinction. Baseball never experienced such I broadside of hits, the fans in the ag gregate never before were quite so delirious with joy and outfielders could not recall a day when balls went so far. so fast or so often. In point of manual and pedal labor players came nearer earning their fancy salaries than they ever did before. Indeed the scores of the year, ex pressed In a surprising number of cases with two figures, have been so unusual that plajer and spectator both seek the reason why. They believe they have found It In the "livelier" ball used this year. The standard ball has cork center and a layer of gutta percha around the cork. This combination produces a "lively" ball. The same force will send the bail further than it used to. The change has "opened up" the game Just as football was made more spec tacular by changes In the rules. The spectator who loves a game well punc tured with long drives and a score board In which -gooseeggs are Infre quent is getting more for his money. The new ball makes the pitcher s task harder and bids fair to shorten his baseball career. The extra work lm- posed on him may pnsslbly result in a tire bills. And think what it saves in annoyance. 10 Oversize Another worry avoided is the danger of blow-outs due to overloading. For No-Rim-Cut tires because they are hookless can be made 10 per cent over size. And we do it. This means 10 per cent more air 10 per cent added carrying capacity with out any extra cost. For No-Rim-Cut tires now cost the same as standard clincher tires. This 10 per cent oversize takes care of your extras. With the average car, it adds 25 per cent to the tire mileage. Without that oversize, nine cars in ten are given too much load. Which tire do you want the skimpy tire or the oversize the tire that rim cuts or the tire that can't? Youranswer will tell you why tens of thousands have chosen No-Rim-Cut tires. Please ask for our Tire Book, based on 12 years of tire making, and judge the facts for your- -self Wm Make All Sort i of Rubber Tim dealers. ' THREE MODELS IN return to the ball of other days. The public will not expend its sympathy! Cadillac car upholds reputation for low cost of upkeep Users drive cars at cost of less than one and a quarter cents per hundred miles of travel for mechanical repairs Some verv interesting1 figures off the subject of motor car maintenance have recently been made public by the Cadil lac dealers of Dayton, Ohio. For the purpose of enabling- them to present some definite information to motor car buyers, Cadillac users Ml Dayton. Ohio, territory were interro gated and responses were received from fifty-two of them, stating1 the sums that had been expended for mechanical re pairs. The users statements disclosed the fact that the aggregate number of miles traveled by the fifty-two cars was 240,245, or an average of 4734 miles per car. The total um expended for mechani cal repairs on the entire number of cars was only $30.05, or an average of the insignificant sum of about 58 cents per car. - The highest expenditure by any one user, a gentleman whose car had been driven S000 miles, waa $4.00. Ten users expended less than $1.00 each, while there were thirty users who had not expended a single penny. Among those who had expended absolutely nothing was the user who reported the greatest mileage, viz., 11,600. Figured on the basis of cost per mile, It shows that the 246,245 miles at a total repair cost of $30.05 a vera tea about one and a quarter centa for each hundred miles of travel. This Dayton record is by no means exceptional or unusual. The same deal er itu We a similar investigation about a year previous. At that time reports werp received from fiftv Cadillac users which showed that they had driven their cars a total of 168.580 miles at a total expense for mecuanical repairs of only $5.71, or an average of less than 12 cents per car for the season on the baste of mileage, this expense figured less than three and one-half cents for each thousaffid miles of travel. About the same time New York and Indianapolis Cadillac users also fur nished some very significant data.

Still another record which, while no snowing quite so low an expense tend in a measure to corroborate the otherr-i if such corroboration were needed, cam from Indianapolis where the sixty-si Cadillac users who replied to the in quiry reported an aggregate mileag of 252,599 miles at a total repair ex pense of $71.30. an average of $1.08 oe car. The Indianapolis records not be ing quite so low as the others ts ac counted for to some extent by the fac that it includes the highest indlvidua expense or tne tot which, in the case o one user who hAft1-.driven his car 900' miles, had a repdfr expense of $20.00. In addition to the repair outlays the matter of easollne and oil consump tion was in the case of the New Yor owners made the subject of investiga tioti. This showed as high as 23 mile to the gallon of gasoline in ordinar; every day driving, but averaged be tween 16 and 17 miles. In oil consump tion some owners run as high as 100 to 1200 miles per gallon, but the aver age was approximately 732 miles pe gallon. The Cadillac dealers in the citie: mentioned, advise that these records In elude the reports of everv user who re sponded to the request for information and that they are not simply a compile tion of figures obtained from a electe list. With this array of evidence, comina as u does irom several different por tions of the country and particularly ii view of the fact that prior to belntJ asKed ior figures the users had no in ti ma tion that their experiences wer going to be made matters of record, i Is quite reasonable to assume that canvass of Cadillac users generallv would show very little variation in th'i matter of upkeep cost. j FederAI Trucks The Autojmck that put Portland on the Commercial Motor Car Map-'white' MOTOR CAR COMPANY Sixth and Madiaoa, Portland, Or.
