A piece of steel used inr the rnpair of a broken . or won part roust first t all receive the proper treataiont.

Such pro cesses as "case-hardening"'': are adver tised by some of the best shops. In a few other ways they bring out the fact that they are In a position to make repairs in the manner In which the the car was first built. Several shops . advertise that ' they are., prepared to make new bearings and repair worn ones. .No detail of a motor car can cause more annoyance than bearings which have become worn. To make them right la a comparatively simple matter when given to the right men and adds indefinitely to the life of the car. " Other Portland shops have automa tic devices for reboring and regrinding cylinders. V Now is the time when most of these shops, like the general repair If your tailor made exactly the same style of suit, out of the same cloth and pattern, for every one of his customers, it 5 wouldn t take you long to quit him.

Individual Colors ' Are .Found to Take Several particularly prosperous deal ers in three or four largest cities have found it an excellent plan to repaint the standard blacks from the factory giving options of gray, maroon, cream, white and one or two other combina tions, together with extra tire, slip covers, etc., at a nominal .additional charge of $1M: or a little more, .These varied color schemes have made many sales ' where the buyer turned away from the standard black. To many buyers spending $800 or thereabouts an extra $100 for a color to meet their own demands and to give them a car of different color from any other In town, is not a hard ship. They look upon it as a good buy. They, have a distinctive car. They have accomplished exactly what they desired to do. Many- dealers can imitate.: this painting policy to good advantage. ' Washington Streets ; "People who contemplate; the pur chase of an automobile this spring or summer had better place their or der at once or they will be, compelled to wait for delivery and not get a full season's use -out of their car,' was about the first remark dropped by A. D, Plughoff, vice president and general manager of J. W. Leavitt & Co., Pacific Coast distributors of Over land and Willys-Knight automobiles, who arrived In Portland Thursday. Practlcallv everv season much irah- llclty has been given to discussion about a possible shortage of automo biles, but this season the proposition is more serious than ever before, ac cording to Mr. Plughoff. In fact this possible shortage Is largely responsible for Mr. Plugfaoffs arrival in this city. He Is in consultation with W, J. Pedlar, assistant "general manager of J. W, Leavitt & Co., who was .called here especially from Seattle, and H. H. Eling, manager of the Port land branch. Oar Shortage Serious. Mr. Plughoffs trip to Portland fol lows Immediately after a conference between himself and J. W. Leavitt, president of the Pacific Coast dis tributing agency, with John North Willys, presiding- genius of tb Wil lys-Overland company, Toledo, O., and H. T. Dunn, vice president and -di rector of sales of the same concern. In Pasadena. "The shortage of freight cars, more than anything else, will affect tho shortage ofautomobiles on the Coast, says Mr. Plughoff. "Of course there has always been more or less of a shortage in freight equipment each year because of the fact that the au tomoblle business has grown so rap idly that the railroads have not been able to keep pace with them in con structing the special cars necessary to handle this class of freight. This year many of these cars that could have been depended upon at this' sea- on are tied up on both the Atlantic and Faciflo Coast waiting for ships on which to load their cargoes for foreign ports. Cars Enough acade. "The Willys-Overland company is manufacturing enough cars to sup ply the demand on the Pacific Coast, for their production this year will reach the 200.000 mark and our con tract calls for a very fair percentage or these. Both Mr. Willys and Mr, Dunn assured Mr. Leavitt and myself that they did not intend to neglect the Paclflo Coast If they could hep doing mo that it was all up to the railroads to supply the equipment for transporting inem. "With our sales on the Coast show lng a CO per cent increase over last year, this unusual condition presents quite 'a problem. The southern ter ritory, where the selling season opened up early, is already way ahead of its allotment of cars, and it is the north west that will suffer particularly at this time from a shortage of ma chines, as the season, is Just starting here. Output Xs Immense. The day that "Mr. Leavitt and my self visited the Willys-Overland off! clals in Pasadena, Mr. Willys received a wire from his factory superintendent to the effect that 828-Tnachines had been manufactured that day the high water mark yet. The maximum pro duction of 1000 machines will prob ably be reached in a few weeks. Dur ing the next 90 days 60,000 machines will be produced, which is as many cars as were manufactured during the enure 1914 season." Cheap Watches Will Not Be Repaired Glasgow. March 25. (I. N.

WHO'S WHO IN MOTORDOM Arnold Cohen. One of the youngest, yet one of the oldest, la the e-ubject of today's tale under Who's Who. He is , Arnold Cos hen: Arnold first rose to fame when. with, his brother Ed. he swamped the town with two. cylinder Maxwells.- Xa-, ter 4e helped other line get started. Then-again last year he was with the MaxwelL New he is with the Covey Motor Car Co, and 4s treating; the Dodge the tray )ve did some o the oth era A - fiance 'over . the; registration sheets showa whether he is busy or not To save the glance, It might be well to remark that he is very fcwsy. ; Whether or not; to repair the old ear and make 4t vdo another -season's work Is very often a' problem which the motorist has some trouble decld ing. Why riot roll it down io one of the reliable - repair men of the ecity, who" will very soon tell you Just: what is the best thing for -you to do with it, , I , . Such a visit may he a real revela tion. Cars formerly cost much more than they do today. There was a reason for that. Parts were .made heavier, cars were made with more hand work on them and In many de tails there were those refinements whicn cannot be brought out la mod era quantity production where every thing Jdone in Job lots of a thous- sand or ten thousand. - f if you hays taken reasonable care of your old car. it-probably can be entirely reclaimed and placed in ap- ple-pie order for a sum which will make the proposition a real Inducement.- . ' Furthermore, the car of today is not designed to be turned In or sold so that another of the next year's model may be had after the first has run less than a year. Standardisation of parts and equipment and thorough manufacturing methods have brought the motor car to . a point where its life is practically indeterminate. Ferlodio Inspection Beqalred. But, the best car built will not keep its' pace and will only bring satisfaction when given proper treat ment. Such long, mileages as 125,000 or 200,000, which one hears about all the time, are only made with cars which have periodic Inspection and proper treatment. There is no reason why the car which you now have will not do as good or even better than that-mileage. A good repair man, such as those listed in The Journal today, will be the cheapest insurance of long life of the car. ' What if you do have to have new pistons put in? Possibly some new gears would help. You will be sur prised to find that your car when you get it back will show as much power as it did the day you got It. Why Care Is Essential. Automobile service people, such as the taxlcab companies, bond them selves on capital based on a period of eight years. In other words, under such hard service as is given the av erage taxi, the company has it fig ured out that the equipment will last eight years. The company has a UTThg to make and also does not for a moment be lieve that the equipment will be worth less when that time is up. A great deal of the overhead of such a com pany lies Jn tne systematlo repair department where every piece of equipment is given a daily inspection and kept up to scratch at all times. a he average owner with his light driving need not do this, but his car will have practically unlimited life if given to the right man at least once a year for an overhauling, which will overcome any faults which may have developed, and so prevent any thing worse in the future. Every man figures that some day he will sell his car and get a better one. At such a time ne win do able to thank himself for the condition brought about through proper care.
