Southern California auto owners who
have "joined up" with the Automobile

state have cause for pride in the fact
that President Harding is now a mem
ber in good standing of their organi

Here is the letter received from the
White House by W. L. valentine,
president of the Auto club:
'Thank you and the Automobile
club for your courtesy in making me
an honorary member. Your organisa
tion has contributed so much to the

BT CHARLES S. BARTON.
CN'ote This Is the first of a series of
"ive article on automobile insurance pre
pared for the autemobil department of
The Sunday Oreeonlsn by Charles S
Barton of the insurance firm of Walker
Barton. . The following article takes up
the subject of the scope and coverage, of
automobile insurance. Other features of
automobile insurance will be considered In
the four subsequent articles, which will
appear fom week to week in the auto
mobile section.)
r-i OME lies regarding the scope
and heed of automobile lnanir'
- ance rray be gathered from the
rather astonishing fact that there
is practically one automobile for
every three families in the United
States. In round numbers this means
9.000,000 automobiles. Quite plainly
the permutations and combinations
of the chances of fire, theft, col
lislon or other accidents arising
because of the turning of some 18,
000,000 rubber-tired wheels, furnish
"dope" for the actuary and plentiful
prospects for the Insurance agent.
Whereas automobile insurance Is
still In its infancy when compared
with older and well-established lines
of insursnce, the various coveragei
risks insured are defined and quite
closely standardized. Those common
ly written are fire and transportation,
theft, liability, property damage and
collision.
As the charters of few companies
permit writing of all these forms
of insurance, usually two companies
will work together to provide com
plete protection; in such case a fire
company will ordinarily cover fire.
transportation and theft, while a cas
ualty company carries liability, prop
erty damage and collision.
To the layman, Inturance is an in
tricate problem requiring the com
bined gray matter of an actuary and
lawyer to solve. Quite naturally the
issue of insurance calls for an actua
rial analysis of the mathematical fac
tors involved. It further needs care
ful formulation of the terms such
that the intention of the policy can
be exactly defined to the protection
or company and assured alike.
But the man seeking to insure his
automobile will find that the automo
bile insurance policy is plainly word
ed, affords no chance for misinterpre
tation and protects in the fullest
sense, of the word. Its provisions can
be easily understood and appreciated
by any man who will take the trou
ble to read the policy carefully and
every policyholder should do this
when buying Insurance of any form,
so that he may be sure that he has
bought the protection which he needs
and which be thinks he has.
It Is our intention here to define
the different policy forms briefly and
explain their scope. Fire and trans
portation coverage Is the subject of
this installment.
These two risks are commonly
correlated. The insuring company
agrees to reimburse the assured for
loss on his car due to (1) fire, arising
from any cause whatsoever, and light
ning; and (2) while being transport
ed In any conveyance by land or
water, the stranding, sinking, colli-,
sion, burning or derailment of such
conveyance, including general ave
rage and salvage charges for which
the assured is legally liable.
While the transportation clause is
of minor Interest to the average car
owner, it is paid for by but a very
small part of the premium and en
ables him to transport his car at a
moment's notice, if necessary, fully
protected.
No automobile should be operated
without protection from lire. Just so
long as motor vehicles use an inflam
mable source of power, just so long
will the fire risk be imminent. The
proportion of fire losses on electri
cally driven cars is not as small as
might be supposed, either, for the
policy Insures against fire resulting
from communication, such as in a
burning garage or building, or an-
irom sen-ignition rrom iauuy wiring
or analogous causes.
Many automobile fire losses are pre
ventable, carelessness being the
cause in one form or other. Gasoline
vapor is so highly inflammable that
tile-man who lights a cigar or bends
over a gasoline - tank smoking . a
lighted pipe, while the tank Is being
filled, invites quick combustion of
himself as well as his car. Equally
foolish is the man who allows his
engine to idle at low speed while fill
ing the gasoline tank.
The man who drives his car when
It is not In condition also invites dis
aster. Fires very often arise from
overheated motors, a condition which
should not exist were the motor prop
erly adjusted, oiled and otherwise
cared for. An .overheated engine and
a leaky feed pipe make a mighty fine
combination to produce combustion,
while a car which occasionally back
fires into the carburetor Is likely to
prove. too fiery a steed for purposes
of human transportation.
Garage fires, both public and pri
vate, are responsible for many losses.
In patronizing a public garage it is
a good idea to select one as nearly
fireproof as possible, not too crowded,
one at all times kept clean of papers,
oily rags and other inflammable
debris. The same standard of con
struction and care in keeping clean
should apply to the private garage.
A small fire extinguisher carried on
the ear within easy reach of the
driver's hand is the most practical
kind of fire protection. It Is consid
ered so valuable by insurance com
panies that a 15 per cent reduction
from the fire premium is commonly
allowed for this installation.
Summarising our advice to motor
ists: at all times be careful of fire
when filling the gas tank; stop your
engine and keep lighted cigars, pipes
and matches away from the tank;
keep your car in perfect condition.
avoiding overehating; inspect the gas
oline system frequently; select a ga
rage or storage for the automobile
careruuy, both with respect to con
struction and maintenance of premises.
However careful a driver mv h
fire Is not always preventable. In
consequence, in addition to taking
every possible practical precaution
against fire which is his dutv to the
community as well as to the indi
vidual every owner should lnm
his car not only against fire, but to
cover other automobile hazards, which
will he described In later installments.

2 5 .3Ien on Motorcycles to Prevent
Misnse of Boulevards After Xew
Law Takes Effect August 1.
OLYMFIA. May 14. No attempt will
be made by Director L. D. McArdle of
the department of efficiency to or
ganize the highway protection lores
for the state of Washington, which
will enforce the road regulations, until
about July 1. The new law goes into
effect on August 1. Assistant Jabes
Cameron, who will have charge of
the highway police, states that he will
only" have about 25 men in the squad
and these will In all probability be
equipped with motorcycles. Neither
will these men be speed cops, in any
sense of the word. Is the statement
of Chief Cameron, but will be ex
pected to prevent the misuse of the
hlirhwavs riiat leads to their destruc
tion and to generally enforce the rules
of the road passed by the last legislature.
As nearly as possible these new
rules of the road follow the recom
mendations of a national conference
of automobile dealers, clubs and high
way organizations. The new rules give
egal force to common sense ana weii-
known road rules, doing away wita
confusing regulations in different
sections that confuse drivers. Thougn
here has been a tremendous increase
n the number of automobiles in use.
federal statistics show the percentage
of fatal accidents per automobile from
1914 to 1919 decreased nearly 60 per
cent. It is shown 43 per cent or an
fatalities occur to children playing in
roads or streets, much of which is
done awav with by the spread of pub
lic playgrounds and enforcement of
rules of the road.
Important rules which the depart
ment of efficiency will enforce under
the new statutes are:
Pedestrians on public highways be
tween a half-hour after sunset and a
half-hour before sunrise shall travel
on the left side of the road and step
off traveled portion when meeting a
vehicle.
Street and lnterurban cars and emer
gency vehicles have right of way;
owners of private machines cannot
use gongs or sirens adopted for am
bulances, police or fire department
machines.
nrivers must obey all orders oi
traffic officers.
.Motorists meeting with collision or
accident must stop; render assistance
when needed, give required informa
tion as to identity; and when injuring-
any person report same to nearest
chief of police or mayor or sheriff of
county.
Mufflers must not be cut out in
city or county.
Licenses, bearing signature of own
er, must be carried in container hav
ing transparent cover, on steering
post or instrument board.
After August 1. drivers' licenses re
quired. May be forfeited by justices
of peace after second conviction of
violation of automobile laws.
Speed limits unchanged, except for
auto trucks, for which sliding rate is
given, and auto busses earrying 10 or
more passengers which must not ex
ceed 25 miles an hour on unpaved
highways: cities and towns forbidden
to enforce ordinances conflicting with
state speed laws; racing on public
highway forbidden.
To pass another vehicle going In
the same direction, give one short
blast as first signal; if unheeded,
you may pass without further elgnai
at first convenient spot, but must not
decrease speed immediately to throw
dust in other driver's eyes.
"One way" signs may be posted
and must be obeyed on narrow park
drives, defiles or passes. '
At least three days' notice ot clos
ing- any highway for repairs, etc.,
must be given by publication and
posting notice on road.
THREE CARS TO SQUARE MILE
Average of Autos In TJ. S. "ov Is
One lo Every 11.4 Persons.
For the entire United States there
are an average of 3.1 automobiles to
every square mile and an average of
mm tar io every persons. This
distribution of the more than 9,000.
000 motor cars is the basis for a num
ber of interesting comparisons, ac
cording to figures presented by the
Davis Motor Car company. In the
central states, Indiana, Ohio and
Michigan, there are more cars per
person than the national average.
This may be due In part to the fact
that 90 per cent of all the automo
biles manufactured are produced in
this section of the country. '
A little farther west Nebraska,
South Dakota and Iowa are engaged
in a three-cornered race for thd
greatest proportionate ownership of
automobiles. At the latest count
South Dakota was ahead, with one
automobile for every S.a persons
These three states are largely agri
cultural and 85 per cent of the motor
cars are owned by farmers. This is a
strong testimony of the necessity of
the automobile to the farmer.
In the east, while the automobile
registration ia heavier than In the
west, the larger population pulls the
average down to 15.8 persons per car
for New York state. It is interesting
that the number of automobiles In
New York and the population of South
Dakota are almost identical!
Clogged Oil Pipe.
It is possible to clear out a Ford oil
pipe which has become clogged by
taxing on tne iront gear plate, which
discloses the cam gear, and this is
removed with a puller. ,Now the end
of the pipe is exposed, and to this an
air hose is connected, the air is
turned on and the obstruction is
blown out Without this little trick
it is necessary to tear down the en
gine to get at an obstruction of this
kind.

INDIANAPOLIS. May 14. Percy
Ford, national amateur racing cham
pion, has entered the International
500-mile race to be held at the In
dianapolis motor spedway May 30. He
will drive a Chicago Frontenac
Ford, who is an automobile sales
manager In Chicago, broke into the
racing game in 1915 as a pilot in a
dealers' race held at the Chicago
speedway, since dismantled. His most
important victory waa in 1917 when
he won a 100-mile non-professional
race in Chicago.
Percy Ford is one of the last of the
more successful amateur drivers to
succumb to the wiles of an Interna
tional race and he is prepared to take
his two hours of Btiff workout every
day to get the physical trim for the
strenueus competition that he will
face in the big race.
Ford was born in Chicago in 1888,
married a Chicago girl in 1910 and is
the father of Courtland Ford, aged 10,
who will attend the race with his
mother. Ford's family does not ob
ject to his entering the race; in fact,
they are rather proud of it. He fig
ures that racing is profitable, knows
no fear in a race and if he had it to
do all over again he would fall for the
fascination of auto racing, if he is at
all successful in the Indianapolis race
he will undoubtedly become a steady
fixture in racing programmes.
Golf and auction bridge are favorite
pastimes with Fordf but his favorite
sport is auto racing. In fact, his am
bition when he was a boy was to race,
and even during his high school days,
when he developed an ardent interest
in art and literature, he had dreams
of driving racing cars.
The funniest thing he ever saw on a
race course, according to Ford, "was
a driver with his gear in reverse at
the starting line," and he was thrilled
to his finger tips when Gaux, the
Frenchman, won the International
600-mile race at Indianapolis in 1913.
It Is because "it takes real driving'
that Ford prefers the Indianapolii
course to all others. He has been re
hearsing the course with his. car for
the past few days, being the second
driver to hit the bricks this season.
BAD STRETCH TO ' BE PAVED
Contract to Be Let for 6 Miles Be

LEWISTON. Idaho, Hay 14. (Spe

and beginning at a point about four
miles east of Pomeroy, and wltnin
few months it is expected that con
tracts will be let tor the remainder
of the road between Pomeroy ana
Clarkston. This will insure a splendid
new highway of over 30 miles, a part
of the Evergreen system, and' will put
Lewiston and Clarkston at the east
ern terminus of a splendid east and
west hierhwav system through to
Portland and coast points.
The section of road between Pom
eroy and this city has been the poor

with tha recent appropriation of $300,,

cover the project, the highway to the

Don't forget this.
. Endurance must always be the most im
portant automobile quality.
It is not appearance, speed, hill-climbing
or acceleration, though the Super-Six leads
in all these., '
Look at the records. Hudson holds nearly
all that are worth while. What car offers
more proof?
But speed records are not nearly as im
portant as are those which prove endur
ance. Many tests are required, to, be con
sidered final proof.
Look at these. A Hudson stock chassis
was driven 1819 miles in 24 hours. The
best previous record fell 347 miles short of
that.
The greatest endurance test ever made
was that of the Hudson double transconti
nental run. The 7000 miles was covered in
10 days and 21 hours. It .was the only
round-trip test ever completed and the dis
tance each way between San Francisco and
New York was made in less time than any
other car has ever done.
No Car Ever Offered
Such Proof
The reason these records, made years ago,
still stand unequaled is simple.' The Super
Six is a patented motor . developed and
controlled by Hudson. The principle which
gives it power and endurance over others
would, if incorporated in any other six,
make it equal to Hudson in that respect.
But you must choose a Hudson to get
thtTse qualities. There is no other way.
Hudson also leads in style. It has intro
duced models that are today standards with
all fine cars.
The new lines of body design and finish
are usually first seen in the Hudson models.
The stream-line body, the beveled-edge ton
neau and now the square lines that give to
Hudson such distinction and simplicity,
first appeared on the Super-Six.
Dont Forget That Hudson's
Endurance Is Exclusive
' These things enhance the Hudson. But
the one important quality is that of endur
ance. Nothing else is so important.
More than 100,000 Super-Sixes are now
in use. Before the present model was of
fered 60,000 earlier types had shown the
way to its development. The things men
had said would make the Super-Six the best
car that is built are incorporated in this
new model.
Others can not build a or like it, for
Hudson alone controls the patents that
make it the greatest speed and endurance
stock car.
'Also It Is the Most
Wanted Fine Car
That is proved by its sales record as the
largest selling fine car. It is proved by the
thousands who have waited their turn to
get delivery. The demand during the ac
tivebuying seasons has always been in ex
cess of supply. For some models men hava
been waiting months.
You will certainly want a Hudson, if not
this year then next. Now is not too early
to speak for it.

Chalmers Upkeep
is Very Much Less
The Chalmers is a good motor cir
investment because its repair and re
placement charges are very much less.
It remains out of the repair shop for
long periods and yields consistent, re
liable, economical transportation.
Truly Fine Motor
Much of this is due to the fine motor
performance. The fuel mixture not
the" air alone is pre-heated by the
hot-spot.
This means better acceleration,
smoother operation, and more power
from less gasoline. Combustion is more
complete. Cylinders are not likely to
be scored, or bearings burned Out, bal

And the car is comfortable and beauti

Chalmersowners know these things and
talk about them.
