Portland mfembers of th Shrine
who are planning to motor to San
Francisco lor the national gathering
this month will be interested to learn
that the San Francisco hosts are plan
ning a 25-mile motor trip over the
city as one of the entertainment fea
tures of the occasion. The route, de
signed to take in the most interesting
features In San Francisco, already
has -been mapped out, and business
firms and residents along She line are
starting "dolling up" in order that
the route may present the finest ap
pearance. William L. Hughson, head of the W.
It Hughson company, Ford dealers
on the Pacific coast, is chairman of
the transportation committee and is
directing plans for the automobile
drive.
New Interest la Added.
This fact lends further Interest to
this feature, as the Hughson company
maintains a branch here and Mr.
Hughson is well known along the
local row, being a frequent visitor to
Portland.
The following announcement of the
line of travel, being about 26 miles,
together with other recommendations,
is made by Hughson as follows:
Leave civic center out McAllister to
Van Ness, out Van Ness to Lombard.
down Lombard to' the Presidio,
through Presidio via Cressy field to
Bea Cliff. Sea Cliff to Lincoln park.
through Lincoln park and out Thirty-
fifth avenue exit to Geary. On Geary
to Cliff house, thence along the beach
to north drive into the park.
Crossing; Is Dangerous.
Continue on same past buffalo pad-
Idock to conservatory, just beyond
conservatory turn right past bear
pits, thence right to music stand,
thence left to the main south
I drive and around Stow lake. (This
one-way route around the lake is op-
Iposite to what the public now uses
I and it will be necessary for the park
commissioners to make this an oppo
nite routing during Shrine week.)
From park out Nineteenth avenue
I to Moraga street, past Shrine chil
dren's hospital, one block to Twen
tieth avenue, thence to Lincoln way
Ion Twentieth avenue and enter the
Ipark south drive and continue past
stadium to the beach. Along the
I beach on the upper drive to Sloat
boulevard, out Sloat boulevard to St.
Francis Wood. St. Francis "Wood via
IPortola drive to Twin Peaks. Down
from Twin Peaks to the corner of
Clarendon and Clayton .to Corbett
lavenue, thence to Seventeenth street,
down Seventeenth to Market and on
iMarket to Civic center.
At the Market-street railway cross-
I ng going out Sea Cliff to Lincoln
Ipark as this is a very dangerous
rosslng arrangements will be made
ifor a watchman during this week. In
leaving Lincoln park there is a very
steep hill, and Thirty-sixth avenue
thould be used to Geary.
Shrine Auto Camp Planned.
SAN FRANCISCO June 3. Fort
Mason will have i great outdoor
amp from June 11 to 17. at which
lose to 1500 autoists can be sheltered
uring the Shrine convention. The
l amp is now being equipped " ready
for the emergency, when San Fran-
I isco will be taxed to the utmost to
lake care of the many thousand j of
lsitors coming to the city next.
Inonth when Shriners will be here
from all over the world.
Under military regulation, the Fort
klason camp will be one of the most
Ihoroughly equippea places of .its
Kind ever provided for automobile
larties. Captain David Grove of the
(uartermaster corps, utilities and
roperty officers at Fort Mason, and
imself a noble and member of 1-lara
temple, is laying out the camp in co-
I peration with Roy N. Francis, cnair
ian of the parking committee of the
farmers.
The camp, which will be open to
111 visitors to Saw Francisco dur-
tig convention week, la completely
luippea witn water, lighting and
limitary conveniences. It will be ad
Iquately guarded, not only by mili-
lary authorities, but also by the park-
Iig committee of Shriners, who have
rranged for two patrolmen to b on
uty at all hours.
Cards will be issued to each camp
us party, and outsiders not possess-
lig means of identification will not
le allowed inside of the campgrounds.
rersonai Delongings will be as safely
Irotected in the camp as though the
liitotsts were registered at any of
n best hotels in the city.
The only restriction placed on the
limp Is that campers must use either
erosene or charcoal fires, as open
ires will not be permitted.
Members or the Shrine committee
Ire highly elated over the prospects
r the auto camp because it not only
"lleves the hotel and housing ac-
ommoaations lor wmcn San Fran-
tsco will be severely pressed durinit
tie convention, but will afford an
iportunity for many Shriners com-
ts by auto and equipped with camp,
g facilities to be able to enjoy all
conveniences of a modern and
tell regulated auto camp.
The military authorities at Fort
Iason will do everything within their
ean-s to provide every comfort for
e campers, and the manner in which
e camp is established will make it
more attractive to the autolst
ban anything of its kind to be found
tne usual pub'.u camping places.

Paving of Short Gaps on Pacific
Highway Between . Goshen
and Creswell Begun.
EUGENE, Or., June ?. (Special.)
Several hundred men are at work on
30 miles of new construction on Lane
county roads being done by county
crews, according to J. R, McKy, county
roadmaster. This is in addition to the
several miles of new road being built
by private contractors for the county
and state. V
Besides these operations and those
of the private contractors for the
county and state, the forest service
has a number of crews at work this
year in the Cascade and coast moun
tains. A Lane county crew has started .to
surface the eight miles of grading
on the Elmira-Noti highway, and the
grading of the Alvadora-Long Tom
stretch has been completed. Cradin?
is progressing rapidly on the Clover
dale highway and rock crushers are
being set up for the surfacing. A
crew has been started on the market
road between Lowell and Fall Creek
and good progress is being made on
the Eugene-Lorane and Cottaga
Grove-Lorane highways. Mercer &
Igoe, who have the contract to sur
face the Eugene-Hadleyville road,
started last year, have set up two
crushers and are making good head -way.
'
The work of paving the short
stretches on the Pacific highway be
tween Goshen and Creswell that were
left unpaved last year because of soft
ground along low sections has been
started by the Independent Asphalt
company. The county has established
two short detours around these opera
tions. Work has been started on the high
way bridge at the north entrance to
Cottage Grove.
sands of dollars worth of benefit to
the crops. One farmer near Athena
told me he expected to harvest 50
bushels of wheat an acre, which of
course is a remarkable yield. But
everywhere the harvest from present
prospects will' be excellent,
. "Wheat prices are better end the
wool market has settled, all of which
are helping ease the financial situa
tion. Money is still somewhat tight
but there has been great Improve
ment, and it will be still more marked
after the harvest. . Eastern Oregon
soon will be back on its feet."
Mr. Cohen made his trip on terri
tory business for the Oldsmobile for
which his firm, the Oldsmobile com
pany of Oregon, is Oregon distribu

of driving averaged 18 miles to the

for an eight-cylinder automobile.

OFFICER OF NATIONAL ASSO
CIATION TO VISIT PORTLAND.
ARNOLD COHEN ADVISES MO
, TORISTS TO TAKE DRIVE.
Trip to Pendleton Easy to Make in
Day's Travel Now by Auto, With
All Roads Paved or Rocked.
The Columbia River highway route
to Pendleton and eastern Oregon is
now in splendid condition and is
highly recommended by Arnold Cohen
ot the Oldsmobile company of Oregon
to motorists who have never seen
that part of their state. Mr. Cohen
returned last week from k trip to that
section in the course of which he vis
ited Pendleton, Hermiston, Athena,
Stanfield and other towns.
"The only place where the highway
is closed at present is between Hosier
and The Dalles, where paving crews
are at work along the Rowena sec
tion." he said, "and even that stretch
Is open at different times during the
oay. East from The Dalles, the Co
lumbia River highway is macadam
ized, not paved, but the macadam is
in excellent condition all the way. In
a few places there is fresh crushed
rock, but not enough of it to inter
fere much with driving.
"To the motorist who has never
driven to Pendleton the trip will be a
levelatloh. It can be made easily
now in a day's driving. The scenery
is wonderful, especially that part
i:1otik the upper Columbia river east
cf The Dalles. While little known as
yet because the new highway has
been open so short a time, it is des
tined to rival the better advertised
parts of the highway in scenic at
tractiveness. "The crop situation in eastern Ore
gon is very good. There was rain a
couple of weeks ago, not a heavy
downpour but sufficient to do thou-
may not spoil the finish at once, but
if allowed to remain it will in time
deaden and streak the body finish.
The best way to remove mud is to
use just, enough water to soak the
mud off. Do not rub, or use a stream
of water under pressure a hose
without a nozzle is the best.
Do not allow soapy water or soap
to remain on the painted surfaces.
After washing, dry the body imme
diately with a clean chamois, but
never use the same sponge or chamois
that has been used at any time on the
running gear; grit is bound to remain
in it.
A dusty car should never be rubbed
with a cloth a feamer duster is the
best.
Rubbing of sponges and chamois)
.should be done in straight lines rather
than in circles. To . prevent water
drying and spotting it is well to clean
one panel at a time. Avoid applying
chamois and especially the spqjige
with great pressure. Do not rub after
the surface is dry.
An effective method of removing
tar is to dip a piece of cheese cloth in
crude oil and apply, allowing it to re
main for a few moments. After
wiping the crude oil off, if any tar
remains repeat the process..
Naphtha, kerosene, vasollne, butter
or even oleomargarine Wtll remove
tar. '
Tar spots on the lenders or other
varnished surfaces of a car can be
removed by spreading salt or butter
over the spot, allowing it to stand for
half an hour, then carefully lifting off
the entire mass. -
Noon Luncheon for L. M. Shaw An
nounced for Thursday, June
29, at Benson Hotel.
Portland automobile dealers re
ceived last ' week invitations to at
tend a meeting called by the Na
tional Automobile Dealers' associa
tion through W. J. Brace, president,
to take place Thursday, Jine 29, at
the Benson hotel. In his letter of
Invitation to this meeting. President
Brace says:
"Saving money is just as important
as making money. Successful bus
iness this year is the business that
cuts overhead to the bone." -
It is presumed that the meeting will
deal 'with the new endeavors of the
National Automobile Dealers' asso
ciation which have brought about
some distinct advantages to dealers
in the east.
One of the subjects that will be at
tacked at the Portland meeting is
automobile insurance, it is stated
The national automobile dealers have
made arrangements with one of the
largest stock companies whereby de
cided advantages have resulted to the
dealers. St. Louis dealers alone have
saved over $25,000,000 annually in
rates, declares Brace. i
. The representative of the National
Automobile Dealers' association to
come to Portland will be Lynn M.
Shaw, assistant general manager, who
has been active in the new work of
the association.
The Portland meeting will be
noon luncheon, presided over by A.
H. Brown, manager of the Northwest
Oakland company, and president of
the Automobile Dealers' association
of Portland. Brown is also the vice
president for Oregon of the national
association.
MOLINE CO. IS REORGANIZED
Firm Making Stephens Is Put in
Unusually Strong Position.
MOLINE, 111., June 3. Announce
ment of the completion of reorganiza
tion of the Moline Plow company was
made here today. New plans for
the company and its subsidiaries,
chief of which will be the Stephens
Motor Car company, were ratified.
The new. company was launched
with $16,000,000 of current assets and
with all current indebtedness cleared
from its books except accrued and
current expenses and $70,000 of cur
rent accounts.
The most striking feature of the
reorganization is the conversion of
$1-5.000,000 of indebtedness Into $12.
6G0.000 of twenty-year debentures and
$12,500,000 of first preferred stock
57,500.000 of old first preferred stock
was converted into $7,600,000 of new
second preferred stock.
Weak Starting.
When the starting motor for any
reason lacks power to turn over the
crankshaft it may be strengthened
by coupling on another storage bat
tery, connecting it in multiple so as
not to increase the voltage. If the
conducting wires are of sufficient size
from the -battery to the moter there
will be a considerable gain in power
output.

Production in V. S. Jumps Up.

passenger cars and trucks produced
by all the factories during the period.
. LOS ANGELES, CaL, June S.-Each
succeeding Camp Curry economy run
goes down in the history of Califor
nia automobile competition as the
greatest of these events ever, held,
but despite the prestige surrounding
former runs the 1922 event cops the
platinum medal without a dissenting
vote. ... -
'Over roads that resembled nothing
so much as mud bogs on rain-filled
shell pits on the field of Flanders
from the time the real climb up the
mountains above the valley began
every one of the 16 contestants and
nine press and official cars wound
up at Camp Curry none the worse
for wear save for mud-bespattered
surfaces.
Never has there been a better ex
ample afforded of the ability of the
automotive creation of today to "get
there." True, some of the cars got
stuck in the goo, but almost Invari
ably the skill of the drivers enabled
them to get out under their own
power. Other cars were driven so
carefully they navigated the uncer
tain roads without difficulty of any
sort. .
Prime Winners Announced.
Here are the prize winners -for
this big 1922 event:
Grand . sweepstakes Oakland six.
49.20 ton miles; class IE, Chevrolet,
41.85 ton miles; class 2E, Earl,,49.05
ton miles; class 3E, Templar,."46.28
ton miles; class 4E, Oakland, 49.20
ton miles; class EE, Dorris, 48.4 ton
miles. " '
. The gasoline mileage made by the
winning cars waB remarkable and
considering the condition of the roads
will go down as among the greatest
records of the kind ever hung up.
The gasoline mileage records wer.e:
Chevrolet. 30 miles per gallon; Earl,
30 miles per gallon; Oakland, 29.30
miles per gallon; Templar, 25.71 miles
per gallon; Dorris, 17.67 miles per
gallon. As will be noted the Earl
exceeded the sweepstakes winning
Oakland in gasoline mileage, and, in
fact, ran the Oakland a mighty close
race for the grand prize. A bettei
record with water and lubricating
oil made by the Oakland, however,
enabled that car to nose out ahead
of the Earl in the final average.
Everything was against the suc
cessful completion of the run this
year, and because it prospered in the
face of adversity is sufficient cause
for adding another diamond to its
diadem of jewels. - Extraordinary
rain and snowfall in the Yosemite
this year postponed the run for one
week in the first place, and in the
second place, "Calamity Joe" Steph
enson, the official A. A; A. repre
sentative, ' was so darned sure the
boys couldn't get in that he tried to
call the run off at Raymond..
Misfortune Trails Drivers.
From, the time the cars left Los
Angeles on Friday morning misfor
tune trailed the drivers in some form
or another all along the route.
On the Ridge 22 of the cars were
swooped upon for exceeding the
speed limit and plastered with tags.
From there to Fresno the trip
was .uneventful, but the real fun
began the next morning. Starting
from the Raisin City the weather
looked ominous. A steady drizzle
prevailed until Raymond was reached.
, Shortly after Chinquapin was
passed, however, the sun broke
through the clouds and shone
brightly all the rest of the way". The
view from Inspiration Point couldn't
have been .clearer, and everybody
with a picture box (and everybody
had one) spent the time waiting for
the opening of the control by burn
ing up several feet of Eastman's
celebrated film. El Capitan, Half
Dome, the Three Graces, Bridal Veil
Falls and the charming bit of meadow
land below were gorgeous in their
changing tints.
Skid Chains In Demand.
All the cars, with one exception,
stopped for skid chains about 28

Everybody came prepared for the
worst, but, unfortunately, several

from two inches to two feet short.
However, the men who found them
selves in such shape fixed up their
chains one way or another and all
the cars wound up at Camp Curry for

What one dealer told a customer .
TLL tell you why I'm selling you this
tire. It's because I consider it a really
big step forward in tire-making.
t "Ifs just this way. If you look at an
ordinary tire, you'd say the rubber was
one solid, even mass. But it isn't. It's
full of millions of 'lumps' 'lumps so
small you can't see them with the naked
eye. These 'lumps' are formed when the
rubber is , 'compounded,' that is, when
the strengthening materials are mixed in
with the pure rubber gum. Every 'lump'
is of course a weak spot in the tire.

"This was discovered only recently by the .
Thermoid Rubber Company experts.- Knowing
what was the trouble with ordinary tire rubber,
these men went ahead and. developed a new
rubber compound. This new compound is
Crolide;. It almost entirely does away with
lumpy formations." .
Crolide Compound is to-day used exclusively
in the manufacture of Thermoid

We have compared the Thermoid Tire care- ",
fully, point by point, with other tires on the

no other tire compares with it for service and
durability.
