THIS MOBILIST MISTOOK MAPLE
SYRUP FOR GOOD CYLINDER Old
It wouldn't have happened If his
lama had been an unusual one; but his
name Is Smith, and he lives In a small
town In Vermont
Be owns a Ford runabout that he pur
ohaaed from Charley Fay, manager of
the Ford Boston branch. The car had
been running splendidly for several
months, and Smith had written aeveral
time to say how delighted he was.' But
one day there came a change, in the
form of a letter that detailed all the
uis a motor car la heir to. and winding
up with a requeat for immediate in
formation aa to what to do to make the
motor perrorm aa of yore. Fay diag
nosed the caae aa well aa he could, and
em mm a ouncn or absent treatment
by -return mall. But It waa of no use.
A telegram stated all the expedlenta
uggeaiea naa Deen tried bu the motor
would not "mote." Fay wired for more
aymptoma. In reply he received in
formation that the engine after much
cranking would start, run for a few
seconds, smoke, aplt and emit a terrible
stench. "Seems aa if it ia running hot,"
ended the telegram. Fay auggeated ex
amining the pump, commutator, car
buretor ooil, and everything else he
could think of, and concluded by advis
ing, "put plenty of oil In the engine
base." Smith replied, "nothing doing."
Then Fay got him on the telephone.
"What kind of cylinder oil are you us
ing r
"Same as yon sent me last week,"
replied Smith hotly.
That's good cylinder oil," said Fay,
"but I cannot understand the engine
heating; put In some more oil.
"Got the case half full now," yelled
back Smith.
"Well, put In some more," replied
Fay, as he slammed the receiver back
on the hook.
In half an hour a telegram told Fay
ne coma sena an expert to make tne
car run or take back his old machine.
it was in the middle of the selling
season. Runabouts were going at the
rate of 10 a day and every competent
man waa required to tune up the new
uiieb. rsui mere was no way out or it,
a man muat be sent
"Half a day to go, half an hour to
make the engine run and another half
a aay 10 return," growled Fay, "I wish
that fellow could think of one symp
tom he didn't tell me so that I could
leu mm wnat ails his car."
The man waa abaent three daya
When he returned he met the Infuriated
manager who asked, "What on earth
kept you so long what have you been
doing?"
"Took his engine all apart, cleaned
it, and put it back In."
"Why! what was wrong with ltT"
"This," said the man setting a can of
light brown liquid before his chief.
"That I looka like rood cylinder olL"
said Fay.
"Looks like It, yes that's the trouble.
It's maple syrup!"
ettrange as it may seem, there are
two Smiths in this Vermont town. A
friend had ahipped a can of maple syrup
to one on the same day and by the
aaroe expresa company that was carry
ing tne can or cynnaer on rrom Fay
to the Ford owner. The cans got
mixed enroute. When the expert took
the motor apart he found the cylinders
full of maple sugar, the bearings full
of syrup and the muffler choked with
tne nair burnt wax.
Fay is now wondering how the other
Smith relished the cylinder oil on his
pancakes.

ENDURANCE RUN
AWARD DISPUTED
J. B. Kelly, the local dealer for the
White steam touring car, disputes the
Justice of the award of The Journal
sweepstakes trophy In the endurance
run held July 27. Together with four
other csrs In the class worth $2,600
and over, the White steamer made a
perfect score. The Pone-Hartford.
owned by the H. L. Keats Auto Co., was
awarded the prlz, as It used the least
amount of ganollne.
Mr. Kelly declares that his car made
the run fully eaulnned. carrvlnr ton.
robes snd everything else for the com
fort of Its eight passengers. Although
the driving waa not done with a view
to economy, but to the comfort of the
fmaaengera me safety or the car and
ts tires, yet the White carried Its load
for less money than any other car In
the run. its el-ht passfigere were car
rled at a total coat of S3. 69. or 48
cents per person. The gaaollne auto
wmcn was awarded the sweepstakes
troDny carried rour nassenirera at a to
tal cost In gasoline of 12.92 or 73

All the other rare used gasoline coat-
lag SO cents. The White economy test
Was 81.8 while the car awarded the
trophy had a teat of 21.7. showing ac
cording to Mr. Kelly that the White
csr is decidedly cheaper to run. The
fuel consumed by the White on this run
was the ordinary fuel used by all White
cars In Portland. .

B. Baumgartner. Mr. Baumgartner's
car, with four others, tied for first
place, but the decision was given to the
Pone-Hartford of H. L Keata. becauaa
of the best gasoline score.
F. A. Bennett states that aa one re
sult of the endurance run he has sold
a. Ford runabout to H. S. Glle A Co.

Rubber Co.. and a Reo touring car to
S. Q. Roes of Cove. Oregon.

(Journal Special Berrlec.)
San Francisco, Aug. I. Tha return
match between Joe Thomas and Ketchell
of Montana; which Cof froth ,kM seoured
for his Labor Day attraction at Ocean
vlew Is a mora promising pugilistic
event than might appear at first glance.
At the Mary svi lie fight July 4
Thomas was naturally a strong favor
ite. He returned here after cleaning
up everything in his class In the east.
There was virtually no opponent in
sight for Joe when he turned his face
homeward.
When the Marrsvllle promoters
signed Thomas and Ketchell, the Mon
tana unknown, San Francisco sports
thought it would be a mere exercise
canter for Joe. As it happened, how
ever, the unexpected was trembling In
the balance more than once. Ketchell
proved a tartar, and, when, after one
of the fastest twenty-round contests
ever seen on the coast. Referee Eddie
Smith declared the match a draw, it
was agreed on all sides that a return
go would prove a great drawing card.
Britt Bad learned Xiesson.
Arguments are still in progress as to
whether It was the licking Battling
Nelson received at Oo Id field or the
beating Jimmy Brltt took at Colma that
proved the greater factor In last
Wednesday night's mill at the Auditor
lum.
It must certainly be said that the
effects of the Colma lesson were ap-
fiarent In every move made by BrlVt
n the reoent fight. At Colma he just
hurled himself at the constantly ad
vancing Dane and lashed out without
taklne- much note of distance or dl
rectlon. He made a desperste effort to
outslug an iron-Jawed, rock-ribbed rival
and he failed. He wasted considerable
of his strength in futile punches.
Wednesday night he was Jimmy the
economist. Nothing much went to
waste. True, the man whom the writer
years ago dubbed the Durable Dane had
taught himself how to block thst fa
vorite left body blow of Brltt a with the
elbow, but this was about .ho only de
partment of the Danes tferense tnat
was in any way effective. And at that
Brttt's glove was qvicker than Nelson's
elbow many a time.
In every other direction nelson was
wide open and It was Interesting to
watch for the measured, whip-like rights
that Brltt shot in while leisurely back
ing away. They were varied with solid
left Jolts and 80 per cent of them
scored.
Billy Kolan, by tha way, didn't go
broke on Nelson. It waa a casa of
Nolan's native stubbornness standing
him tn good need. Ha wanted to bet
a couple of thousand on Kelson, but told
his commissioner not to lay at longer
than 10 to t. The bet placer reported
that there waa no 10 to 8 and Nolan
replied: "Just wait There may be soma
bet at ift" ? f. 10 19 to on l

Pope-Hartford $2750
The Sensation in the Automobile World
Pope-Hartford achievements -in Portland within the
past 30 days:
Broke, all world's touring-car records for from 5 to
25 miles.
Won all races in its class that it was entered in at
our late races.
Won hill-climbing; contests on Portland Heights.
Won Portland-Salem endurance fun in its class and
The Journal's sweepstakes cup.
The same car is in use daily as a demonstrator and
is a regular stock machine.
In a Pope-Hartford you combine speed, hill-climbing
ability and endurance. Its appearance and com
fort can best be determined by a demonstration which
will cost you nothing.
Our cars have made the fast
est time in hill climbing and on
the track, no other car being
close enough to be considered a
competitor. The reason why:
Our lines are decided upon
after very careful tests by our
Mr. Keats at the factories. We
are the pioneers in the business,
sell more cars than aH the bal
ance of the dealers in Portland
twice over, consequently the
factories are all anxious for
our business. We not only
have the cars but have the me
chanics to put and keep them
in condition.
Buick runabout not only won
easily in its class, but defeated
cars costing over $4000. Would

Makes Perfect Score
THE SIX-CYLINDER 40 H. P. FORD made
a perfect score in Salem Endurance Run. It was
THE ONLY CAR owned and driven by a novice
to make a PERFECT SCORE (because of its sim
ple operation). The tires used on this car had been
run 4,000 miles and don't show any effects of the
run (because of steady pull and light weight; it
weighs 2,685 pounds, scale weight). ,
THE LITTLE FORD lost a nut off throttle ro'd
and was penalized three points, otherwise PER
FECT SCORE. This car carried two people 135
miles over heavy roads on five gallons of gasoline
(27 miles per gallon). LOOK AT THE SCORE
