THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, PORTLAND, MAT 31, 1914.;
ARRANGING ENTRIES
FOR PARADE IS ON
Motor and Vehicle Pageant of
Festival to Eclipse Those
of Previous Years.
HORSE SECTION HAS LEAD
BUIi B2f QOAD IS ENJOYABLE AND FULL OF FINE SCENERY.
.Many Automobile Owners and Sev
eral Dealer-, Promise lo Enter
Cars, However, and Big Rep
resentation Is Kxpected.
The work of classifying: the various
entries for the great horse and motor
parade of Wednesday in Rose Festival
week has already begun. Returns
show that the section devoted to
liorxes is at present more advanced
than the automobile section, chiefly on
account of some friendly rivalry be
tween the various riding and. driving
clubs, whicU met early and decided on
large representations. Entries re
ceived by Frank C. Riprsa, the chair
man of tho parade, prove that this
year's parade will eclipse those of all
previous years in point of number of
entries, while the rules with regard to
decoration and to elimination of ad
vertising insure its being far more
artistic.
By far the greater number of auto
mobiles in years past have been pri
vately entered and this is liable to be
the case this year. too. Word has not
yet been received from the Automobile
t'lub. either, and it is known that W
J. Clemens, the president, has a large
list of owners who will be "there with
bells and roses" when the time comes.
Mr. Clemens have given his word that
no other club shall beat the Automo
bile Club in the number of entries and
as the largest single entry is 45 to
date, he will have to go some.
Comparison Gives Wat.
One thing that tells which way the
wind is blowing is a comparison with
last year. Dealers in 1913 were con
spicuous by their absence. This year
they will be represented in force, three
iiaving sent in entries. They are H.
I Keats, the Oregon Motor Car Com
pany and the Frank C. Riggs Com
pany. Numerous others also have
promised to be represented, but have
been too busy to make formal entry.
For the benefit of individuals who
want suggestions for decorating their
cars. Mr. Riggs has placed a large
number of photographs of decorated
automobiles from all parts of the world
on view at the Rose Festival head
quarters in the Morgan building and
others will be exhibited in some of
the big department stores.
Among the entries which are an
nounced for the first time are some
from the Michigan Society, which will
have a fleet of cars: the Riverside Driv
ing Club, which will have some 35 classy
horse-drawn vehicles; the East Side
Business Men's Club, which has prom
ised a' large number of cars; the
United States Tire Company, with three
floats, and the commerce department of
the Jefferson High School, which under
the direction of L. Gilbert Dake will
have at least 10 and prob'ably 14 ve
hicles in the parade, drawn by horses.
It has been suggested that the Boy
Scouts may enter the parade, and If
they do they are certain to make a hit.
TCatrle. Are Announced
The full list of entries received by
Mr. Riggs from societies, clubs and
organizations up to Friday is as fol
lows: Fire department, with a bigger en
try of all horse and motor-driven ve
hicles than in previous years.

FIKL TESTS AT5E CXIFORM
Three Chandler Cars Run -1 Miles
on Gallon of Gasoline.
The ever-present fuel question among
motorists has received a good answer
in the showing made by the new Ray
field carburetor on Chandler sixes in
different parts of the country. The
first test was made by the Chandler
people, where the car not only showed
tspeed. power on hills and throttling
down ability, but made the record of
24.4 miles to one gallon of gasoline,
U'he test was official.
Now comes the news that in a test
upervislon by Herbert Chase, of the
Automobile Club of America, a Chan
dler car in Long Island roads. New
-'ork. has just run 24.3 miles to a gal
Ion of gasoline. It was equipped with
the new Rayfield carburetor. Here
also the car performed without adjust
ment of the carburetor for speed, hill
climbing and throttling down.
Another test made on the Chandler
car with the new Rayfield carburetor
In Philadelphia has given the record
of 24.3 miles to a gallon of gasoline.
? It is considered remarkable that
three cars in different localities, with
Varied weather conditions, should have
f-hown such uniform results.
; To the motorist whose fuel 'bills are
a constant irritation, the news of such
results from a six-cylinder car will
eome as a welcome promise of relief
from the excessive cost of the past.
; The Rayfield people, it is said, are
about to enrage in a series of tests,
using various other well-known cars.
1u demonstrating that there is no need
for any motorist to pay excessive fuel
lulls.
H. W. Curtis, manager of the Ap
person branch here, made a suggestion
the other day, taking a gentle knock
at the railroads. It happened to be
vourtng last Tuesday, as all the fans
remember, and 11.' W. had a carload
of Jack rabbits waiting to be unloaded.
He was bemoaning the fact that they
lied no covered shed for such purposes.
"Kvfn in the South," he said, "where
they don't get any rain, they have i
number of sheds ready for the eventu
ality. Why don't the Portland railroad
folks get busy.

MANY ENTER
PARADE
Auto, Horse and Drill Team
Pageant to Excel. .
CLASSES WILL COMPETE
Two Brandies Alone to Have More
Cars Taklns Part This Year
Than in Entire Affair Last
Year and List Is Long.
Now that all plans for the great
parade of automobiles and horses and
drill teams for the Rose Festival have
been settled and announced, all that
remains for this feature to exceed the
parades of other years is the personal
element.
In past years there were too. many
parades, in the opinion of visitors and
competent judges. What they felt was
wanted was oye really first-class pa
rade where one and all had a chance
to win at least one prize and to have
sections and classes so that the clubs
could be competing in friendly rivalry
against one another, in one class, pri
vate individuals in another, schools
against schools in . another, societies
against societies in still another. .
Frank C. Riggs. the chairman of the
committee which has the parade in
hand, was the first to make this sug
gestion almost immediately after the
automobile parade last year, when I
there was no large entry and outside
of a dozen beautifully decorated cars,
some very ordinary decorations. There
had been a certain amount of dissatis
faction, too, in -Lfre decoration rules and
there had been too much advertising
matter. '
Chaoses Are Proponed.
Mr. Riggs proposed then to alter all
this. "Let us have a first-class pa
rade for horses, automobiles, drill
teams, etc.. all in one." he said. "Let
us have a large variety of classes, and
above all let us have handsome cash
prizes for first and second in every
class so that people who so want may
feel they have a chance of reimburs
ing themselves for their time and trou
ble. Any number of people would
have come in last year, he said, bad
they felt they had even a sporting
chance of winning some cash prize to
warrant the use of time and material."
The force of his suggestions have
been borne out beyond his best hopes
already in the number of people who
now have sent in their names as hav
ing one or more cars for the parade.
One society has sent in word to the
effect that it will have at le&Bt 35 dec
orated cars. - This is the Arts and
Crafts Society. Along- came the Parent-Teachers'
Association, only two
days later, with the Information that
it would have a float and at least 40
cars. There are two 'classes, distinct
and separate, whose entries aione total
as many cars as there were altogether
in ye parade last year. And they are
only two out of .a long list.
Others to Come In.
' Among others who have signified
their intentions of coming la is the
Fire Department, always noted for the
excellence of its decorative work. The
firemen have prizes among themselves
and also will compete for some of the
open prizes.
. Then there is the Hunt .Club, which
with its riders on -horseback can - put
Op a wonderfully attractive team. It
has a rival this year in the Bit and
Spur Club, which is going to come out
strong.
Among'the clubs alreadv nromisine
large entries are the Ad Club, the RoBe
City Park Club, the Rotary Club, the
Pennsylvania Club and Rosarians.
Practically every club in the city is
almost certain to enter half a dozen
cars.
The Ladies of the Maccabees are the
first women to enter the parade, but
they will have competition in their
department from all the women's
branches of such similar organizations.
Schools Are Entered.
Among the schools entered are Lin
coln. Washington and Jeferson High
Schools, while there are large entries
from the grade schools and the Sun
day schools, each of which has a class
in which to compete.
Among the corporations . are two
which put up beautiful cars last year.
the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph
Company and the Portland Gas Com
pany.
Another division where rivalry
should be keen will be among the
railroads, all having signified their in
tentions of taking part in the parade.
air. itiggs is anxious, where possible.
to receive the names of entrants in
advance so as to allow plenty of tim
for plans for forming' the parade. No
one is compelled to enter ahead, but if
those who already have made up their
minds to do so would let him know, it
win De greatly appreciated.
La Center Keeps Road Day.
RIDGE FIELD, 'Wash., May 30.
(Special) Good Roads Day was ob
served at La Center and throughout the
surrounding country. Many men with
shovels and rakes .rose early and
worked on the roads.. . Horses and
wagons and plows were also brought in
use and places were graded that were
Impossible by hand. About 50 men
labored; even the women turned out
and cut grass and carried rocks and
gravel from the roads.
Outing Is for Motorcyclists Only.
A number of Sacramento, Cal., mo
torcyclists recently made a 45-mile
trip to Limestone Cave, in the northern
part of the state. This cave is one of
the most delightful places in Califor
nia for an outing. However, being off
the beaten path, it is not readily ac
cessible by vehicles and therefore Is
seldom visited except by motorcycles.

Have you ever heard a Hupmobile owner say anything but good of his car?
Haven't you noticed that when he wants to dispose of it to get a new one,
he never has any difficulty in so doing?
Haven't you observed how willing any dealer is to take a Hup in trade
at a good figure and how few of them you see on the floor of the
second-hand dealer?
If you haven't noticed these thingsask?anyHup owner and you'll get the
answer as to why Hups sold stay-sold.
Ask Any Hiipmobilist
The Hupmobile s reputation for lesser' maintenance cost, for longer life, and for a higher
cash value in the second-hand market is founded on the. experience of Hup owners.
It is not a thing of recent growth.
It is as old as the Hupmobile itself.
Owners of other cars can't Understand-the Hup owner's intense loyalty and enthusiasm
for his car. .
Their own experience knows no such economy as typifies the month-in and month-out
use of the Hup.
They see Hup owners actually going out of their way to make Hupmobile sales to their best
friends.
You can easily verify all this, possibly in your own neighborhood.
A chat with a Hup owner will reveal to you phases of economy and car service you have
never perceived.
The Hupmobile dealer can give you scores of names and specific instances equally
enlightening and convincing.
Call on him today. .

With thousands of miles of new road
beinar built in all parts of the United
States, county officials have come to
be an important factor in the motor
truck market. In a great number of
state laws have been passed whereby
the state pays a certain proportion of
the expense of building every mile of
road that comes up to certain specifi
cations. Most of these roads require the use
of gravel or crushed, rock. This has
to be transported In large quantity.
Where the amount of road constructed
by a county in ayear is considerable,
a very large saving In transportation
expense can be secured by the use of
motor trucks.
Shoshone County. Idaho, uses mine
talings on its roads. These can be
secured free at the mines, which are
glad to have them hauled away. The
county purchased a Peerless truck
early this Spring and has not only
speeded up the work on its new roads,
but has greatly cut their cost. The
length of the haul made the expense
of using the mine tailings practically
prohibitive when horses were em
ployed. The county authorities .at Houston,
Tet, and in several other Texas coun
ties have recently secured Peerless
trucks for' the same purposes. ' Mult
nomah County, Oregon, has used Peer
less trucks iu its general work several
years. Records for service secured
from their trucks by these -public offi
cials are fully equal to those by pri
vate operators.

Motor Bus Aids Pupils.
How to give farmers boys and girls
a high school education without send
ing them from home is a problem of
long standing now being solved by the
motor truck. In several places In the
country, notably on Long Island and In
California, where the roads have been
improved, four or Ave adjoining school
districts have combined resources to
erect union high schools in central lo
cations and to purchase motor trucks,
fitted with stage bodies.
These 'busses are driven over certain
routes through all the districts to pick
up the pupils in the morning and take
them to the schoolhouse, returning with
them; over theSsarae route for a hot
lunch and taking them home again
after school. In some cases the older
Ihigh school boys are hired to drive.
It has been found that the union
school, with its transportation feature.
can be maintained more cheaply than
separate schools la the several districts,
and that better- instruction can be given
by special high school teachers than
by district school teachers, who com
