loaasaay for th Chalmers Car
paper business to enter the automo

Powell by mala force and presents It
herewith.
Mr. Powell will leave The Oregon lan
this wek to become territory repre-
resentative for the Western Motor Car
S Company, distributors for the
Chalmers car. His field will she Oregon
and Southern Washington, and bis time
will be devoted exclusively to the
wholesale business for the Chalmers
and the Truxtun trurk attachment,
which Is also handled by the Western
Motor Car $ales Company.
In his 14 year as automoblla adver
tising manager. Mr. Powell has built
up a mighty big circle of friends. Also
he has learned a lot about automobiles.
and has seen many dealers come and go.
Only one man Is now In the automobile
business In Portland who was In It 10
years ago. He la Howard M. Covey.
Only three dealers were here 10 years
ago. for that matter, when now there
are some 33.
In 11uS Mr. Powell started the auto

Exhaustive study of tha effect of
speed on fabric tires enables the B. F.
Goodrich Rubber Company, of Akron.
Ohio, to put before the motor public
some Interesting facts.
Their tests show how destructive la
fast driving on ordinary tires. They
also show that If the motorist could
maintain an average speed of ZS miles
n hour without Incurring the dis
pleasure of policemen and magistrates
he would get more mileage out of his
tires than at any other mark. It he
Insists on "letting her out" he must
obey two rules drive slowly over
rough roads and take turns cautiously
and. as important as the other. Increase
he air pressure In his tires from two
to eight pounds above normal or e
resign himself to prodigal purchase
tires. For speeding specially built
tires are required.
It la a weft-known fact that th
faster a tire Is driven the more heat It
generates Internally and while the nor
mal speed will not raise the tempera
ture of the tire to a dangerous point.
xcesslve speeding will raise the tern
perature to a point well beyond the
anger Una or to a point where add!
tlonal vulcanization will take place
says a circular Issued by the Goodrich
Company.
Fabrl Drlea Oat.
"Thl Is more than the manufacturer
ever Intended for the tire and sufficient
to dry out not only the friction gum
between the piles of fabric but the very
fabric Itself, depriving the tire of con
slderable of Its elasticity and Its rest!
lency. Thla excess heat, drying ou
the fabric friction between the piles
and fabric, naturally will cause a sep
aration between the plies, resulting In
the fabric chafing against Itself, or the
plies of fabric chafing against one an
other, weakening It to that point where
It can no longer maintain the air press
ure and resulting In a blowout.
"Speeding haa other bad effects on
tires than . prematurely drying them
out. One of the most common Is the
result of driving fast over uneven or
rough roads. Some drivers, tinfortu
nately for the tires, drive at the same
speed over a rough road that they
would over a boulevard ana then won
der why their tires wear away so rap
idly.
Watch a speeder going over a rough
road about as fast as his car will travel
and notice the rear wheels In particu
lar as they strike an obstacle.
Wheels 9 La eaa Tires.
"The shock comes so abruptly and
forcibly that the rear wheels are raised
free from the ground.' Perhaps this
la only an Inch or so. but In the frac
tlon of a second the wheels are oft the
ground the tension Is released on the
engine and the wheels are spinning
much faster, so that when they again
strike the ground the road acts on the
tread of the tire much like a rasp being
rubbed over Its surface. If when the
tires strike the ground there should be
a sharp-pointed stone or other sharp
obstacle at that Immediate point, the
result would be a nasty cut clrcumfer
entlally around the tread.
"This might extend for a few Inches
or It might extend half way round the
tire, and all brought about In the wink
of an eye. In addition to this tires
used under these circumstances would
no doubt lose their treads, not alone
from the rapid wearing away, but from
a separation between th tread and the
carcass, for it Is easily seen that with
the tires leaving the ground frequently
and coming down again they would be
revolving at such velocity that their
very contact with the road would bring
about an extreme wrenching of the
treads of the tires. Very little action
of this kind Is necessary to bring about
complete disintegration of the tire
Itself."

The New Hudson Super Six Phaeton
Is Independent of Expert Service Men
As you will see, this new Phaeton is a deluxe development
of the earlier Super-Six models of the same type, of which
50,000 are in service.
. It is not possible by illustration to indicate the many added
details that are unknown to previous Hudsons of its type.
Nothing of practical utility or that contributes to the pas
senger's comfort has been omitted. Much has been done to
increase the economy of operation and durability of. service.
The upholstering is the new, beautiful French finished,
long grain, hand-buffed bright black leather. It is carried in
plaits over the s&me type of springs used in the finest up
holstered furniture.
Spare tires are carried on the running; board on either side.

Most every repair organization of any

Be sure to get a car that does not

There are 50,000 Hudson Super-Six

one or more Hudsons have served their
owners during the past two years. They
have given constant service. Repair,

are furnished in this new series.

In the days of yesterday, "roar" and. "wallop" were the
terms used to define an engine's power.
. Today, it is the softness of power, the controllability of
it that fascinates.
It is a new kind of power to many, brought to public
attention through the famous "Hot-Spot" and 'Ttam's-Horn"
Manifold of the Chalmers.
For here the gas is heated, and "cracked-up" at the
throat of the carburetor by the "Hot-Spot" and then rushed
quickly via the "Ram's-Horn" Manifold into the combus
tion chambers.
It is "toasted" so nicely, "pulverized" so fine, that the
instant after sparking there is well-nigh no waste of gas.
Little of power comes out of the exhaust. All the power
comes out of the rear wheels and such pleasing, well
harnessed power, that your enthusiasm for driving reaches
a new peak.
