r Although they were unable to J
reach Crater Lake and break, all
records for automobile travel to that
scenic wonder for this time of year,
Seeley Hall, S. S. Chadding-ton, of San
i''ranciai:o, and E. F. Weston, of this
city, have just returned from a trip on
the Crater Lake Highway, which sets
a new record for early motor travel, in
Southern Oregon. "She party left Med
ford Sunday in a Chevrolet at 1:40 P.M.
and reached Prospect at 5 o'clock.
Monday morning at 5 A. M. they left
for the Crater Lake National Forest
and here the trouble began. Not only
did a storm of snow and rain rage most
of the time, but at places the .snow
drifts in the road were from eight to
10 feet deep, while giant trees had
fallen over the highway and obstruct
ed traffic entirely. By driving over
the snow where the crust permitted,
digging a thoroughfare through the
drifts at other places and at times con
structing a road of fallen trees and
branches, the car was pushed on 14
miles in 12 hours, when the party
camped in the open for the night.
The -next day the Journey was con
tinued under- conditions that were even
worse, but finally Whisky Creek, about
seven miles from Crater - Lake, was
reached. Realizing that the road fur
ther on was impassable, the party turned
about and the return trip was made
to Medford. It is believed this is the
first time an automobile of any kind
has eer traveled so far in Crater Lake
THRILLS COST MONEY

DEATH DARED ON TRACKS
Pario Kesta in Only Four Months
Gets $39,000 for Driving 1700
Miles Impossible Soon Conies
to Pass, Scoffers Abashed.
To spend $50,000 before you find out
whether your car can compete in the
race is not what one would call an
economical sport. One New York mil
lionaire says: "I realize it is an ex
travagant sport, but it is in my blood.
I ara trying to get a young driver from
Kurope and a European car." If this
New Yorker succeeds it will cost nim
more than $50,0u0, just because "it is
in his blood."
Two years ago this same sportsman
bought a car. paid all the preparatory
expenses that required months of hard
work, which entailed a cost greater
than the salary of the President of the
United States, and then sat on an up
turned oil can for six hours in the boil
ing sun and was sufficiently repaid to
see his car cross the tape -the winner
for 500 miles' racing. The driver got
all the prize money.
Such is the cost and the sportsman
ship of tWe men who participate in this
sport for kings. Incidentally the
drivers those who survive and win in
their gamble of shaking dice with
death make the Wall-street gamblers
pale by comparison.
Darlo Mesta Paid High.
Take one Dario Jtesta, who came to
America last year from Europe. His
earnings in four months totaled S39 -
000. To annex this much of perfectly
good made-in-U.-s.-A. money, D. Resta
traveled 1700 miles! Figuring Resta
drove at the rate of 80 to 100 miles an
hour, every mile that he traveled was
worth $22.94 to him. He has received
$1746 an hour, or about $29.10 a min
ute.
Ioes John 15. Rockefeller's fortune
increase at such a rate as this? His
annual dividends from the Standard Oil
mint are estimated at $10,000,000. At
this rate there is a difference of $604
between his hourly income and that of
Resta. - . .
Glancing over our shoulder at what,
historically speaking, was only yester
day, the first automobile race in the
world was held n 1895 in Chicago.
Spectators strolled leisurely alongside
the competing cars. Joking, encourag
ing or ridiculing the drivers. Today
the largest paid admission to any sport
ing event in the history of the world
has been to a speedway race. Need
loss to say. not one of these spectators
could have been bribed to step upon
the track where the roaring steel
tuounts were at their devilish play.

on a mile dirt track, & car was puffing
and struggling along in desperate ef
forts to negotiate a 24-hour endurance
race. That night these four men
dreamed a dream. At sun-up they rode
to the outskirts of the city, where the
Hoosier farmers were . starting their
day's plowing.
Told in tabloid, they bought these
peaceful cornfields, braved the crit
icism of their friends, defied fate and
invested hundreds of thousands of dol
lars into perfectly good, fertile fields
and metamorphosed, said fields into
America's finest speedway in time for
America s first speedway race in 1909.
Even then to think of 75 miles an hour
was to be classed as a fanatic, or at
least a radical. Today 110 miles an
hour! Well, such speed is only a step
ping stone to what the dare-devils at
the wheel hope to attain. The sixth an
nual international sweepstakes race
will be held on this paved oval at In
dianapolis May 30.
Among the notables from Europe is
Josef Christiaens, who has been given
release from military duty in England.
He has been dropping explosives from
aeroplanes and is coming to the States
for some excitement at the wheel of a
British car, a Sunbeam. Other Euro
peans are expected to brave the float
ing mines and periscopic perils in order
to risk their lives for the glory and
fortune in this hazardous, extravagant
sport.
Many cities have followed the ex
ample set near the center of population.
New York. Chicago and Minneap'olis
are three conspicuous additions to the
speedway sport. Nine tracks were in
operation last year. Twelve different
races were seen on these speedways,
in which the monetary, reward was
$291,000.
Many other cities have their speed
ways on paper. For thrill engendering,
spectacular and sensational one-day
shows the speedway race dwarfs all
other amusements or sports. No other
can claim such homage from Its dev
otees. NKW FIRM TO SELL CAR PARTS
Walter K. Flanders Takes Oyer De
funct XT. S. Motor Company.
Because of the rapid increase of
manufacturing operations at the plant
of the Maxwell Motor ' Company, in
Newcastle, Ind., It ia" announced that
the sale and manufacture of parts for
the Stoddard-Day ton, Brush, -Columbia
and Alden-Sampson cars will be taken
over by "the Standard Motor Parts Com
pany, of Newcastle. Ever since the
Maxwell located one of its mammoth
plants at Newcastle, it has operated in
the Indiana city the greatest service
station in the history of the industry.
Here has been located the largest stock
of repair parts in the world. .
When the United States Motor Com
pany went out of business a few years
ago, there were thousands of owners of
the above-named cars who naturally
thought that they would be unable to
get repair parts thereafter. These
fears were "unfounded, however, be
cause when Walter E. Flanders took
over the remnants of the defunct United
States Motor Company he arranged to
manufacture and supply parts for all
of the above cars at the Newcastle
plant of the Maxwell Motor Company.

TIRE TEST IS GIVEN
Goodyear Company Decides on
Right Inflation Pressure.
CARE PROVES PROFITABLE

fore Pressure Drops 2 0 Per
Cent, Say Experts, After Mak
ing Long Investigation.
Each year car users give more,
thought to the little things that add to
tire mileage and reduce tire cost per
mile. Consequently a great deal of
careful attention has been given the
new Inflation pressure table recently
made public by the Goodyear Tire &
Rubber Company. For years tire man
ufacturers have asked motorists to
consider their tires." At first these
pleas fell on deat ears, the art of riding
had not othen developed as if has lat
terly.
Now, however, it is fashionable and
profitable for car owners to care for
their tires; to repair small cuts before
they do big injuries, and Inflate their
tires without letting them wait for the
warning and destructive bumps that
come when pressure becomes too low.
A few years ago Goodyear, published
a table of inflation pressures. It was
up to the minute then. But car weights
and many other things change, so that
the Goodyear experimental men were
some time ago instructed to go into

TIKE NEEDS EVEN STRENGTH
All Paris Should Be Built for Equal
Service, Is Declaration.
"Al parts of an automobile tire, like
those of the famous " 'one-h&ss shay
should be built to give equal service,
declared J. A. Leatherman. Portland
manager of the Goodyear Tire ft
Rubber Co. "Uniformity in the wearlnar
qualities of fabric, friction, breaker
strip, tread rubber,- bead and sidewall
is essential if the tire is to be brought
up to this position with due consider
ation -of type of rlnr, character of roads,
rate of speed and the weight to be
carried. An automobile tire should be
designed with the idea of giving the
user the lowest possible cost per mile.
"It is easy to strengthen some one
part but difficult' to accomplish this
without weakening sone other feature,
or nullifying the effect of the Improve
ment 'by some other part not lasting
as long as the part improved. Bo that
special abnormal features in a tire are
of no particular advantage, and only
serve to increase the cost of-the tire as
well as the cost per mile."
SECOND PRIZE WON IN 2 YEARS
Cadillac Takes Annual Tire Mileage
Contest Honors.
For the second time in two years a
Cadillac has won first prize in the an
nual tire mileage contest conducted by
the AJax Rubber Company. Inc. The
result of the contest, which covers
year's use of its tires, has Just been
announced by the Aiax Company.
This year the first prize of $500 goes
to George C. Mathis, who secured the
remarkable tire service represented in
27,220 miles. Mr. Mathis drives a
Cadillac for Mrs. J. D. Jackson, of New
Haven, Conn. His record Is 5200 miles
better than that of last season's head
winner. Garth C. Jensen, who hungr up
a marK or zi.vtis miles, also with
Cadillac, owned by John N. Weisby. of
Stevens Point, Wis. It is required that
contesting mileages be sworn to by the
owner of the car and also by the driver

etikiller prize with the same car in last
yir"s contest, with a record of 14,400
miles,

OUTPUT PLANS EXTEND
A. g. ROBINSON POISTS OCT HOW
HIS PREDICTION CAME TRITE.
Estimate of 100,000 Sales 1m ISIS Falls
Few Tttonsand Below Mark, bat
Now Has Been Reached.
The roseate, prospects of the motor
truck Industry, which has made par
ticularly striking strides in the last
year, has caused greatly increased 1916
schedules at all the big factories build
ing commercial cars.
"Five years ago people laughed at
me when I said that, by the beginning
of 1916, the number of trucks sold In
this country would exceed 100.000,
says A. S. Robinson, of the Portland
KlsselKar branch. "It is true that my
prediction fell a few thousand below
the' mark, but It has now been reached,
and I am ready to make a further
prophecy. By 1920 the United States
will number on Its streets and high
ways at least 250.000 trucks. Further
more, this present year will see a large
percentage of the increase.
For years the truck Industry has
had not alone to overcome the natural
prejudice of business men against any
thing that so revolutionizes business
methods as does the truck, but also to
light sentimentalism. Most men who
own horses love them, and It is quite
natural that they should. They have
disliked to admit that there could be
a more efficient servant than old Dob
bin. even in the face of fact.
"But competition -gradually and sure
ly has settled that. Dobbin s faith
fulness and willingness are still appre
elated, but so are . his limitations.
Every business man now knows that
the motor truck must be employed If
the beBt delivery and haulage results
are to be obtained. It ia. therefore, no
longer necessary to convince him of
anything but the difference, in trucks
and which Is the best one to meet his
demands.

Just for a minute, let's forget this talk of Values and prices and
H. P." and "r. p. m. and all the usual reasons for buying this
or that car. Let's take another angle on it this "Directory of
Orphans." And not from the " where to buy parts' side of it
that's only incidental but from the big, basic, underlying
reason that such lists have to be published the very fact that
there are so many car manufacturers who gave up business. ;
You can appreciate that to stay in this business, a maker of
cars MUST give 100 value and to give a 100 value, he
, must have the ideals, the resources, the manufacturing fa
cilities. If he lacks them, he goes into lists like this.
And you can also appreciate that YOU. the buyer, with all of
your knowledge of cars, have to take 90 of what you pay for
in. a car on the maker's say-so.
If that's the case, isn't this Directory of Orphans' the strong
est imaginable reason for YOUR buying a Studebaker a car
from a manufacturer who has been in business for 64 years
who ranks as one of the world's great manufacturing insti
tutions whose financial resources and manufacturing facilities
'are unexcelled by any other maker and whose daily increas
ing VOLUME and sales prove VALUE as nothing else can ?

Pennsylvania Distributor Here An-
nounces Lower Cost.
Contrary to the general belief that
prices on automobile tires would soon
soar upwards, A. J. Winters Company,
local distributors for Pennsylvania
vacuum cup and ebony tread announce
a substantial reduction on all sixes of
Pennsylvania tires, effective May IS.
"The large Increase in prodaetlon
has enabled the manufacturers to low
er the prices without changing the
high quality and standard," says Mr.
Winters. "Coming at the beginning
of the motoring season, the motorist
is particularly fortunate In being able
to effect a saving on his tire expense.
As lUere is no indication that gaso
line ,ill drop to a normal level, the
stuinx which this reduction makes
possible should be welcomed by all."
