BARGAIN AND
, . lly M. , O. WUkina,
! The' purchase and sale -of a- motor
vehicle viljf ers but little from" any ordi
nary, sale of personal property; . In the
automobile .game; -: however. . we find
two ainos or "sales ' -as ine term ' is
used. A - cash deal and '.a ""condition
sale," each of which" must be defined
separately, i A sal, is defined . as a
transfer- of absolute ahd general prop
erty in a thing- for a price in money:
a valid sale requires concurrence of
(a.) comoetent oartieS. b) mutual as
sent or agreement, (e) the article to be
sold, and "(d) the price, paid or prom
ised. Yourself and the dealer are the
parties.- Your negotiations including J
a demonstration, an examination ana
a try oat of the ear, lead to" your mu
tual agreement. . The automobile is
before ' you. The price and.' the terms
ail go to, maae up. inese iwmauu;
and upon ; the delivery, aftd the ex
change of your consideration . you are
now the new owner of an autAmobUe.
v The .dealer, ..of" course.'; must; be the
owner of - the ar in order to passj title
to you. Hence, - if -he- claims to be the
owner the law Implies a warranty of
title and he must defend you against
anyone who disputes your absolute
ownership. " ; ' ; T,
Warranty kt Title.
; However, If you are baying a used
car through an agent or from an
agency. It Is a .better -plan to require
a search of the records for Incum
brances, examine the previous license
records of the car f and require from
the actual owner a written warranty
of title. This is usually incorporated
lh a formal bill of sale, w
,ln the matter of delivery, if - you
have bought from a S&mpie er from-an
examination Of a demonstrator, you
are entitled to make an inspection be
fore aceeptanee bf you new car, and,
it must cohrornv With the sample.
Nearly ail manufacturers of motor
vehicles as i well as their respective
agents sell automobiles ' and " Commer
cial cars under What is known as a
standard warranty, this warrarity
has been adopted by the National Au
tomobile Chamber of Commerce and in
substance it is as follows: We war
rant each new motor vehicle manufac
tured by us, either pleasure car - or
commercial vehicle, to be free from de
fect In materiarand workmanship un
der normal use and service: . Our obli
gallon to this warranty being limited
to making good any part or. parts
thereof which shall be returned to us
and disclosing to our satisfaction to
have been defective. We make no
warranty whatever with regard to
tires, rime, ; ignition apparatus, start
ing devices, batteries, speedometers
and other accessories. -
' ' Suyer itust Beware. , .
In ethef words the dealer and man
ufacturers stand behind the quality of
material and workmanship in the ma
chine. If no Warranty is made, how
ever, the la will invoke the savere
rule of "caveat emptor," which means
let the purchaser take care of his own
interests. It is always In your pdwer
to request a warranty and this .places
the -burden of guaranty upon the Sel
ler. It is held by the courts that where
the seller alone possesses the knowl
edge and means of knowledge of the
quality and ability of the ear he man
ufactures or offers for sale, for & spe
elf ie purpose made known to him, and
where the purchaser does not have the
knowledge but must depend Upon the
judgment of t the manufacturer, then
the rigid and sever rule of "the pur
chaser taking care" does not apply.
If you will therefor advise the
dealer or agent of tfaa purpose to which
you expect .to put your automobile or
truck he . will, in bis bill of sale and
the general warranty used by his firm,
warrant the car to do certain work and
to make good any defect within a
given periods, , - 'i ;:''.;
One space is too i limited to discuss
agency-suffice-to say that you should
deal .with the principal or a, known
.agency .of ;the pHnclpal and . grve - the
matter, or -trie purcnase or your -automobile
: the same consideration as you
would any .other contract involving a
similar . Investment, and - competition
and the advertising spirit and .pride
of niattufaeturtt of- all established
makes of cars Will give you a square
deal 'Without writings. ' ? - - .
Conditional Agreement,
tf you expect to rely upon the udg
ment of the manufacturer Or dealer
ask him to say so in- his bill of sale
or the Instrument through which he
conveys the title of the automobile.
- Many automobiles -are now Bold un
der what the lawyers call It conditional
sales agreement. All of the elements
of sale discussed above are contained
in the "conditional sales agreement"
except one and 'that isv that the-title
of the motor vehicle does not pass un
til the purchase price is fully paid irt
money. The dealer, or manufacturer
retains the ownership -. and right te
repossess himself of the caret . as se
curity for ; the unpaid purchase price
1 W:
SALE OF CAR t
of the jcar.. Therefore when you buy
a car and execute . to your dealer a
sales agreement of this klnd.the dealer
19 the owner of" the car until you pay
for it. Upon your failure to pay the
price when due, or a repair bill when
it becomes .an incumbrance upon the
car you forfeit your right to posses
sion and the payments -you have made,
which Are usually, declared. to be dam
ages for depreciation and rental for
the use of the car. This phase of the
automobile sale Is not objectionable
but sometimes ceases hardship on the
purchaser , when he overestimates his
ability to pay. .

v- The 800 cubic inch motor has made
good in the 500 mile race by raising
the speed average -from 83.47 to 89.84
miles per hour,- a performance which
the most optimistic did not anticipate
and which waa partly due to the brick
track being cool after nearly a week
of continuous rains, and further due to
the lack of sunshine which cuj all of
the glare that Is present when the sun
is" shining, out of the drivers'- eyes,
thus , giving Ideal conditions,: and such
as may not bo present again for sev
eral years. They were conditions not
present at any previous 500 mile race.
T; Perhaps " th most amasing feature
of he race, was' the regularity of the
pace . set by the different leaders, a
pace which at no time was less than
89 miles per , hour and never higher
than Bl miles. -

Although leaders shifted very fre
quently until the 350 v mark was
reached still, the average: per hour
hung . in ; the ' same place. In "other
words, tne 300 inch motor: as - devel
oped by;at least three different makers
is capable of an amazing speed, and
all three makers . are deserving., of
credit for getting such wonderful re
sults. S tuts, as the American repre
sentative, deserves all credit to build
three new oars and have all: finish in

rarely, if ever, equaled in this coun
try or abroad. New motors are always
expected to fail in the first big race,
but this race has proven otherwise In
the Stuts case, only one of the three

of. such moment as to put It beyond
the money class. - "".'-

lubrication troubles of the race wene
not on the American cars, some of the

f People who advocate the "Use of oil
en earth roads for the purpose of lay
ing the dust are all wrong, says Pro
fessor J.'J.: Cox, head of the highway
department 6f the engineering college
of the Unjver4ity f Michigan. Pro
fessor Cox does ribt claim that his ob
jection to the use of oil for dust lay
ing' purposes extends to macadam or

for the ordinary earth Toad there 16
nothing superior to water, ,
: "Oil used as a dust layer oh an earth
road Is a bad thing, looked at from

precaution It Is bound to . be tracked

- Tv"hen small surfaces Of earth roads

right along, oil does not bind ; these
particles together-as does water, and
these particles work but toward the
gutters, a rain comes and a pasty mass
Is formed, clogging the gutters and
making a most unsightly and unclean
roadside.. . . : .
VAnother thtag is the matter Of cost
I contend that it Is not cheaper to lay
dust with oil than with water. The
results obtained front one application
of oif lasts, only about a month or six

the dust, and with each application

"Comfort in touring has become
such a big item with the-automobile

Into three classes: . Strst, comfort, of

Tillers of the Soil Viil Jour
ney Miles in Own Cars
. to Tacoma Speedway,
Farmers of Washington are going to
be well represented at the Tacoma
speedway events July 4 and 6. They
will come In their own cars, some from
east of the mountains, and they are
coming because they want to see some
real speed.
"Tou bet S"m going to "the Tacoma
races.' ene of a group of farmers at '
the state grange meeting in Centralis
said as they were discussing a group ,
of speedway pictures. "I'm going to
see the races and I wouldn't mind try
ing a whirl around that track myself.
My. old machine wouldn't be in the
same class with the racers but there's
nothing passes me on the road nnls
it might be a speed cop, and I'd Just
like to see what I could do on a reu.1
track with nothing in thewa.v. -' When
the road's clear and nobody in sight '
and I feel Just like it, I've gone better 1
than 50 miles an hour more than once."
The farmers are getting the speed 1
bug just as bad as their city cousins. :
In the little knots gathered here and
there outside the grange meeting, the
Tacoma races were among the topics i
most discussed, Th conversations in- !
dicated that the farmers are thinking I
Of something besides milking the cow ,
and feeding th chickens. They are ,
posted on the records of the famous
drivers. and have their minds made up
as" to who will ets the big money at'
the Tacoma races. Oldfleld ahd Bur
man have their-friends, but the major-
lty seem to pin their faith to Earl :
Cooper's steady grind. Many of the '
grangers saw Cooper win the Monta-;
marathon trophy and they want, to see 1
him do it again.
The report comes from Centralla and 1
Chehalis that a big delegation Willi
come to Tacoma for the races- July 6. -It
is predicted that the attendance
from the Centralla district this year'
will be twice what It was a year ago.
