The car has disk wheels and an attractive khaki-colored top. Practically all smaller parts, including radiator shell, lamps and door handles, are heavily nickeled. It is painted an attractive maroon, trimmed with black. The car is slated as a four-passenger, but is built upon the regular seven-passenger chassis, and thus is- unusually roomy. - 1 (members of the Lane county cooirt, to ddscuss tine proposed Roosevelt highway along .fche coast of Oregon to connect with the coast highway in California.

REARING SERVrCE FOK RACE The test of any manufactured product is Its ability to make and keep friends. No motor car can be truly great until its owners stand solidly behind it with one un divided opinion one expression of Gonfi-. dence, Respect and Loyalty.

Talk to one of them-or one hundred of them and you will encounter an active pride of ownership that is finally convincing. They are proud of this car because it is the most distinctively beautiful creation, in the entire field of motor vehicles. They respect it because it possesses the spirit of the thoroughbred a spirit that has won track honors and hill-climbing records at 100 points in the nation. They believe in the 6 - 66 because it has ful filled every expectation of its giant power plant and superbly designed chassis. - , . And they drive it with the serene confi dence and perfect control of a Master of the Highway. ' Cook & Gill Co., Inc. NEW LOCATION NINTH AND BURNSIDE STS.

There was one stop of 22 minutes, owing to dirt in the petrol tank, and three stoppages due to tire trouble. "The actual running time (from Durban) to Johannesburg was 12 hours 30 minutes, and to Pretoria 13 hours 22 minutes an average of 33 1-3 miles per hour under the most strenuous road and weather conditions truly a remarkable ride, and a testimony of pluck and endurance."

July 10, according to tin an- RHYMES OF THE ROADT Tom Tutt and wife- have just come home from touring way out west, and so we thought, of course, he'd have some stories- on his chest. We dropped into their home last night and questioned them about the scenery they saw out there and all along their route. And Mrs. Tutt described a lot of things that she had seen upon the plains and -on -the coast and places in between. "Remember, Tom," she asked, "the view from A-ttawampug Pass?" "Ain't that the place," asked Tom, "where we paid forty cents for gas?" "We saw some glorious scenery," continued Mrs. Tutt. "The canyons and gorges which the rushing streams had- cut. We saw the Garden of the Gods, the giant redwood trees; it's fine to travel as you like and stop just when you please. We climbed the great Pike's? Peak: we took a swim in -Mirror lake; we saw the mines where millionaires began to make their stake. And Tom, I'm sure you well recall the Sacramento river?" "Why, sure," said Tom. "That's where I scraped the fender off a flivver." "We drove through lovely country ' towns where roses decked the hedges," said Mrs. Tutt. "We climbed andi climbed up narrow mountain ledges. We camped at night beneath the stars and rose at early dawn and saw the prairies stretch for miles as smooth as any lawn. We stopped by mountain streams to bathe in- some secluded pool and felt as free from care as boys and girls just out of school. Oh, Tom, that Arizona week, can never be forgotten,1!" "You bet it can't," said Tom. "Oh, gee, those desert roads were rotten." "And did you see the Yellowstone?" we hastened to inquire. "We did." said Tom. "That's where we blew our last remaining tire." "And what about the Rainbow falls?" we asked. "Did you go there?" 'Let's see," said Tom. 'Yes, that's the place we bought our second spare." "Oh, tell us of the trails which wind about those silver lakes" we begged. "They're all straight up," said Tom, "and awful on. your brakes." "Has nature no appeal for you?" we cried. "You soulless mutt!" "I missed it, looking at the road," responded Mr. Tutt. " - ; Company Proves Big Aid in An nual Indianapolis Event. - It was a noteworthy fact that at the Indianapolis race every single car that entered the biggest field in the history of the famous speed way had been serviced at the track by Bearings Service company,- ac cording to R. H. Cross, local man ager. That organization maintained W. W. 1 service constantly for several days oeiui e Lue race wim a stair, on nana practically 24 hours a day. In the try-outs preliminary to the qualify ing runs certain bearing troubles developed, as was , only natural under the conditions which invari ably precede a big race. But re placements, whether Hyatt, Timken or New Departure, were promptly made by the Bearings service men. The organization is the service de partment of these three companies. Bearings Service company main tained a pit at the track, with three men and a complete stock of bear ings for every installation in every car. It is a tribute to the bearings themselves that, although the field was the largest and the pace the hottest in the memory of patrons of the Indianapolis speedway, no bearing trouble of any kind devel oped during the race, it is stated.

The splendid, come-back of the automobile fndustry this spring, fol lowing the period of depression, has been one of the most wonderful feats' in the history of modern busi ness and demonstrates beyond ques tion of doubt the permanency and essential quality of the motor car in American life. Such was the declaration of George -. Graham, vice-president of the Chandler Motor .Car company of Cleveland, Ohio, and one of the leading figures in the automobile industry of the country, who was a visitor in Portland last week. Mr. Graham was at Washington during the war in the interests of the auto mobile industry and has appeared before congressional committees on a number of instances for the Na tional Automobile Chamber of Com merce. His ability and his activity along these lines has made him rec ognized as a leading, spokesman for the industry In this country. While here Mr. Graham was taken ever the Columbia- river highway and was entertained at Crown Point, where he was the principal speaker at the Portland Ad club Flag day festivities. He was also the guest of the Portland automobile dealers at a dinner at the Portland hotel during which he discussed in an in formal way the latest developments in the Industry. "A year ago 'calamity howlers of the country, some of them bankers," said Mr. Graham in talking to the dealers, "freely declared the auto mobile industry was on' the rocks. They talked of the saturation point, and spoke of the automobile as a luxury, as though modern life could now get along without this instrik ment of personal transportation. But as we look back over-the period of depression we are forced to con fess that so far as the automobile industry was concerned the depres sion was not so terrible. Actually - Practically no foreign automobiles are being imported into Germany. "TOPS 'EM ALL" GENEtheTOPMAN My prices so cheap you cheat yourself if you dont have that top re-covered or repaired NOW.

"And now, since the first of this year, the automobile industry has recovered in a way that has been a marvel to the business world, and in a way, frankly, that has surprised ourselves. But the real reason for the recovery, aside from general improvement along all lines, lies in the fact that the automobile is now an essential factor in our lives. The 'pleasure' car is 90 per cent a car . of necessity, and the entire scheme of life and of business is rapidly becoming based upon the factor of personal transportation furnished by the automobile and the truck." Mr. Graham, accompanied by his wife, is on a business tour of the west. While here they were the guests of Charles C. Fagan, Pierce Arrow and Wills Saint Claire dis tributor. Mr. Graham was for six years an official of the Pi'irce Arrow company and in this capacity he and Mr. Fagan developed a close personal friendship. The next notaible figure of the automobile industry who will ar rive in Portland, according to word received to date, is Lynn M. Shaw of the National 'Automobile Dealers' association. Mr. Shaw will be here on June 29 and will be entertained at a luncheon by the automobile dealers of Portland. The National Automobile Dealers' association is undergoing a reorganization and Mr. Shaw, it is expected, will have a message of keen interest to give the local dealers in regard to this move.
