THE SUNDAY OltEGONIAN, PORTLAND, JULY 9, 1922
GREATER COURTESY
Motor oil breaks down $
Greater courtesy on the part of
those who minister to the needs o
the motor tourists who visit Oregon
In order that such visitors may re
ceive the best' possible impression
of this state and return to their
homes enthusiastic boosters for
Oregon, filled with a desire not only
to come here again but to send their
friends and acquaintances this way,
is being urged by the Oregon State
Motor association, 273 Pine street,
which began a drive to this end.
both inside and outside its mem
bership.
"We all feel confident that from a
scenic standpoint no state in . the
union can surpass Oregon." said
A. E. Shearer, manager of the asso
ciation,-in explaining the purpose of
the movement. The world is grad
ually beginning' to awaken to this
fact and tourists in greater numbers
than we have ever had is the result.
But if we are going to reap the full
advantage of this opportunity we
must welcome the motorist properly
and make him at home here, make
him thoroughly welcome and make
his trip enjoyable from the very mo
ment he enters Oregon until he
leaves it.
"Once in a while it happens that a
visiting motorist who has met with
some kind of difficulty on the road
will be 'stung' by the local garage
man or business man, and that sig
nal discourtesy will be shown on the
grounds, no doubt, that he will
never show up in that town again.
But he will spread his story of Ore
gon inhospitality and the harm that
will be done wjll not be offset even
by the charm and Ueauty of Crater
lake and Mount Hood."
Letter Tells Story.
The following extracts from a let
ter recently received by Mr. Shearer
from an Oregon motorist tells this
part of the story. .The writer's
name, together with the name of
the town and of the garage, has
been withheld by the motor asso
ciation: "For many years the pepple of
Oregon looked with a covetous eye
upon the valuable tourist travel of
our sister state on the south and of
Washington on the north. In fact,
the matter of how to bring tourist
travel into this state and particu
larly into the western portion of it
was made the subject of much study
by the various chambers of coSn
merce. It was argued, and with
sound basis for so doing, that with
our matchless forests and streams,
our snow-capped mountain peaks,
our innumerable lakes, our miles of
ocean beach, our wild-animal and
bird life, our jewel of all scenic
jewels, Crater lake, and our inter
esting Josephine caves it was ar
gued that if the people of the state
would provide a hard-surfaced high
way through the state and build
other suitable highways the tourist
travel would surely " come.
Tourists Now Coming.
"That has now been done and the
tourists are at our door. Almost
without notice and certainly with
out organized preparation we have
become the recipient of a rapidly
growing new industry.
"What would we think of a mer
chant who would build a magnifi
cent building, install the latest im
proved and most expensive fixtures,
soend a tremendous amount for ad
vertising and then meet his cusJ
tomers at the door with a hose.'
"We have constructed our high
ways, have advertised our resources,
but I am afraid that we as a people
have advertised our resources, but
I am afraid that we as a people have
not prepared ourselves individually
or collectively to take care of the
tourist travel which is passing
through the state. We must show
the visitor courtesy, hospitality, a
square deal and service.
"I am led to make these, remarks
because of an experience I had about
three weeks ago at - . I had
engine trouble seven miles out and
sent word by a passing motorist to
have a garageman come and tow me
In. After waiting for several hours
I went to a farm house and tele
phoned, but when I returned I found
that a tow had finally, been pro
.vided. "The car was taken into town and
the mechanics started working on
It. After looking at it they informed
me I would have to get a new pis
ton and rings from Eugene, antf"I
immediately wired for them. That
was in the late evening and I was
informed that if the parts got there
next day the mechanics would start
work on the car at once. The parts
were rushed and reached there el rly
that morning, a Sunday. Taking the
parts to the garage I waited in front
for some hours until one of the men
finally oame down and opened up.
Upon asking when the mechanic
would come to work on the car the
man said he didn't know. There
was a ball game that day and the
mechanic didn't show up until after
that. He finally started work, how
ever, and I was told I could get the
car about 5 P. M So I decided to
stay all night and called at the ga
rage at 6 in the morning for the
car. I was told I could not have it
until the day man had come down
and figured out the bill. So I waited
an hour and a half more.
Treatment Called Shabby.
"I have no complaint with the
amount of the bill, but feel that
such treatment will riot reflect to
the good name of Oregon. Had the
mechanic told me just when I could
really get my car I would have
made arrangements accordingly. I
think that you will agree with me
that when one starts on a vacation
treatment of this sort is irritating
at the best.
"I have found that the people of
California hr.ve become past mas
ters at handling the tourist. At
every place he stops he receives the
most wonderful treatment. The fin
ger of public opinion is pointed at
individuals and concerns that mis
treat the tourist. It may truly be
said that business goes where it is
Invited and stays where it is we.lt
treated, and this is just as true of
the tourist. He goes where he is
- invited and comes back again if he
Is well treated."

Approximately 90 per cent of the
milk consumed in Los Angeles, 75
per cent of the bread and 500,000

STUDY TIRE TROUBLES
SERVICE OF TRUCK HAS
VITAL BEARING.
Larger Rubber Coverings for
Wheels May Be Needed to
Correct Difficulty.
When solid tires have not given
service, rather than apply new tires,
assuming that the- old tires have
failed due to some manufacturing
fault, it would be well to investigate
the service the truck is being oper
ated in. If the -load the truck is
called on to carry is found to be in
excess of the normal rated capacity
of the truck or exceeds the maxi
mum carrying capacity of the tires
the more satisfactory course is to
change the tires for a size, or type
that will meet the conditions as
found. '
The limitations of eaah size and
type 5f solid titres are pretty well
understood, and if these limitations
are exceeded a larger size of a dif
ferent type of tire will quickly cor
rect the faulty 'service and an im
provement 'n tire mileage will soon
be noted, says the technical service
department of the United States Tire
company.
The service rendered by solid tires
is largely dependent on three fac
tors: The speed at which ,the ve
hicle is driven, the load transported
and the type or condition of the road
over which the vehicle operates.
When determining tire sizes for
original equipment, these three
items are usually given careful con
sideration by the truck manufac
turers and the correct tire size is
carefully estimated. The original
tire equipment as fitted to vehicles
is thus usually of ample size to
meet the average user's require
ments and will give satisfactoroy
service as long as the -vehicle is
operated and loaded to its normal
rated capacity. If either the ve
hicle speed or its load exceeds this
normal rate some change must be
made in tire equipment; either a
change in tire type or an increase in
tire size to take care of the extra
demands made on the tires.
It is just as important that the
speed at which the vehicle is oper
ated be carefully checked as it is to
see that the loads do not exceed the
maximum limits as recommended for
the size of tire used.-
General road conditions should
come in for a fair amount of con
sideration, for if they are generally
poor the impact forces generated by
the load suddenly dropping, into
road depressions and operating over
road obstructions will tend to lead
to early tire failure unless the ve
hicle is apnply tired to withstand
such increased impact loads.
More solid tire trucks fail, due to
over-loading or over-speeding than
from any other cause. When the
tire mileage is not up to expecta
tions there is reason for assuming
that the vehicle is being operated
In a service in excess of the maxi
mum capacity of the tires being
used.
VANCOUVER TOURISTS MANX
80,000 Visitors Expected in Brit
ish Columbia This Summer.
VANCOUVER, B. C, July 8.
Eighty thousand tourists are ex
pected to visit Vancouver this sum
mer, according to estimates of city
officials. Much, of this traffic will
be in automobiles. .
For two years the city has been
advertising in California and other
western states and the resultant in
flux of tourists, especially of auto
mobile travelers, has been notably
large. For the convenience of auto
lsts a fine camp at an expense of
(5000 has been established in the
outskirts of Vancouver, with run
ning water, hot 'and cold showers,
gas and coal cooking ranges, shel
ters and dining tables.
The tourists have already begun to
arrive and the camp is being kept
well filled. The visitors are not con
fining their interest to Vancouver
but are swarming all over the south

ALFONSO ORDERS CHANDLER
American Car Claims to Be Really
"Fit for a King."
CLEVELAND, O., July 8. Mo
mere figure of speech Is the appella
tion "fit for a king" that has been
applied to the Royal Dispatch, re
cently brought out by the Chandler
Motor Car company.
A real king has become interested
in the new Chandler and ordered
one.
The export department of the
Chandler company has just received
a cablegram from the Chandler dis
tributer in Madrid to make imme
diate shipment of a Royal Dispatch
that has been sold to King Alfonso
of Spain.
The Chandler Royal Dispatch is
distinctly a sport type of car,
equipped with six wire wheels, the
spares being carried on each side of
the car behind the individual front
fenders.
A rear trunk rack with cast alum

Contract Hauling In Washington
Over Certified Route Is Not
' - Permissible.
OLYMPIA, Wash., July 6. (Spe
cial.) Broad interpretation given
the certificate of public convenience
and necessity law as applying to
auto rreight lines by Judge Sam B.
Hill, of Grant county in a decision
received, by the department of public
worKs today was joyfully received
Dy tne aepartment.
Frank and Paul Klasen, holders of
a freight certificate between Soap
iae ana aoap Lake station, applied
to the court for a permanent re
straining order to restrain E. O,
Sorell, a general trucker, from haul1
ing any freight for compensation
over his route. Sorell's defense was
that he was hauling under coritract
and'was not included within the law,
making it unnecessary for him to
nave a certiticate.
Attorney A. W. Dolphin. reDre
senting the department of -public
worKs, contended that the law did
not permit contract hauling' of
freight over a route covered by a
certificate except where the freight
was agricultural, horticultural or
dairy products from the point of
production to market, these prod
ucts being specifically excepted in
the law. He alsa cited that in the
case of passenger ,stages specific
exception is made to cover taxi
cabs and argued thafif the leerisla
ture had intended any other excep
tions in freight traffic the law
would have said so. ,
Granting the permanent restrain
ing order, Judge Hill said: "If he
(Sorell) makes such a trip or trips
over that route hauling freight with
motor propelled vehicles for com
pensation he is infringing upon the
privilege of the plaintiffs and plain
tiffs are entitled, upon satisfactory
showing, to resort to this court for
injunction - prohibiting further -encroachment
on' that privilege. There
may be an order entered here en
joining the defendant from operat
ing ajong the route described In the
certificate of the plaintiffs:"

Few motorists realize the damage resrUtmgfrom the use of motor
oil containing destructive "sulpho" compounds. A well known
treatise on. lubrication says: "The presence of sulpho, com-
pounds makes itself apparent by an almost immediate decom
position of the oil when exposed to heat"
Cycol is free from these destructive " sulpho" coLrrpounds.
They are eliminated by the new Hexeon Process, developed
and used solely by the Associated Oil Company. ,

TTERE is a fabric tire in a class by itself. Literally it
has no real competitor. It is a super fabric tire built
for long, hard service on small cars. Regardless of road
conditions or of any ordinary overload, on an established
average it outwears from two to three tires of other makes.
This tire is made with an extra layer of fabric and a
heavy, special tough red tread which is responsible for
its extraordinary service and for its fame.
You cannot find a user who "knocks" the Fisk Red
Top you can find thousands to praise' it beyond all
other tires.
There's a Fisk Tire of extra value in every size,
for car, truck or speed wagon.
