Gzng Men Favor Dismissal of
Employes Who Are Not CM-,'
zens of the United States.
The Portland Garage and Repairmen's
association, at He meeting; last "VTednea
6ar night. In the Tyrolean room of the
Benson hotel, put Itself oa record as hit
Ing nnantmouair In- tavor ot the speed
dismissal of all men In the employ or
the garage owner of this city who were
not ltleas of the United States, and to
, fill their', places with ,x-eervlce men.
The fact that numbers of ea-servle men
in the city who are capable of holding
the jobs now held by aliens are out of
work led to the movement ; ,
Purina; the coarse of the meeting, a
. report was . heard? from the committee
having in charge : the campaign for the
1 bettering of the streets of the city by
keeping the glass picked up ,off the
streets where - automobiles are . driven.
'.. The committee has secured the coopera
tion of the city In the movement, and
' Is also seeing that the average motor
1st is educated In his duties in the mat
ter. -t ' ", .,'::.
' The organisation also went on record
as being In favor of the city's cam
tpalgn in the ' prevention of accidents.
Every garage man was asked to assist
In everr way he could in' teaching the
motorist his duty at street Intersections.
. and In regard to the speed law and
ordinances. This movement was taken
In spite of the fact that, as a erltlcof
the motion phrased It, the men passing
the motion found money in their pockets
on the occasion of every accident.
Will J. Letter, presidents of the : or
ganisation, made a short address In
which he warned the garage and repair-
men that upon them to a great extent
depended the public's attitude toward
the automotive Industry. That f on one
' garage man to profiteer or give unsat
isfactory work meant, that the' public
would have a distorted opinion of the
aims of all garage men. The duty of
' the garage, Mr. Lester declared, was to
serve as a place where the motorist
might come for advice as well as paid
repair work. . '
- It behooved the man In the repair
business, he declared, to give the cus
tomer such service that each ' garage
' would have its roster of patrons, and
. would not.be looked upon solely as a
" place where cars should be taken when
. theytara no longer able to be driven. If
' price - were too high, Mr. Lester de-
clartd, they should be reduced.
'I, "Education," said Mr. Lester, "is al
most as, Important a thing as the prob-
' lmn MfiiMl rnati "Mnmi nMlltA Afi
not'- familiar with their cars, do pot
know what is really the matter with
them. There should be more cooperation
between 'Owner and repairman.
It developed In the course of the meet'
. Ing that each service car was carrying
. a dust-pan and broom for the purpose of
picking up stray bits of glass and other
trash, .
Distributing Eights
Por Wire Wheel
Have Been Secured
Announcement Is made by C. XL Qun-
. flerson of the Wire Wheel Distributing
company, 431 Stark street, that the firm
had secured the distributing rights for
th Hayes wire .wheel for Oregon and
: the river counties of Washington.
The wheel is manufactured by the
Hayes Wheel company of Jackson, Mich.,
, the largest builders of wheels in the
world. Several shipments of the wheels
are already en route, to the distributors,
who are finding the demand for -. heels
of. wire construction very great
- "Wire wheels are coming more and
more into demand,". sa)d Mr. Ounder
son, "and I look forward to the time
when they wilt he almost universally
used. Wooden wheels cause the car to
rent on the spokes, and the thrust of
the weight of the body is absorbed
- through & downward push. In the case
of wire wheels, the weight is carried by
the body of the car being literally hung
from the rims. The material of which
' the spokes are built gives this form of
. conatruelion a certain shock-absorbing
power that Js a decided advantage to
drivers. The wheels have the advantage
of being readily changed, are resilient
In rira construction, and, in- the opinion
' of a number of people, add a great deal
' of the appearance of an auomotblle."
; A' Callfornian has designed a lawn
mower that can be substituted for the
front wheel of a motorcycle and thus be
run by power. i

tt Is dry. Placing 1 a wet ear m the sun
is liable to check the paint.
The time to wash a car is when It
comes in, before the mud hia had a
chance to harden and dry, The heat in
the car dries the mud quickly, .and
bakes it onto the paint -
If it can't be washed immediately..
rinse it off thoroughly knyway.
When washing never rub ft sponge
or chamois or cloth over the surface un
til all the mud has been removed.
First soak all the mud down by
going over the ear with a hose.' A noszle
should not be used. The stream, should
be large with low pressure. , . '
Start at the top, and work down.
Then you have only to remove the same
mud once.;.", .,..,.'.
The first going over loosens the dirt.
so that a second going over will usually
remove it all. . In case it does not a soft
sponge, constantly saturated with water
may be used, just touching the surface,
not rubbing; It ' ...
After th removal of the mud. several
greasy places may be found. Using an
pld chamois, and a good automobile soap,
wash off the grease. -Ivory soajt la ex
cellent for. this purpose. No trace of
soap should-bo left on the body of the
car.
Rinse the car thoroughly.
Wet a good clean chamois, wring It
dry. and go over the car body, wiping
it dry. Never wipe the body with the
same chamois that has been used on the
running gear. '''.; v'v

Fpel Shortage Is
Big Handicap to '
T ; Motor Production
Charles " C. Fagan. manager of the
Charles C Faren oompany, local dis
tributors - of Pierce-Arrow f cars 4 and
trucks, who recently returned from an
extended trio to the Pierce-Arrow fac
tory at Buffalo, K. comes back with
the opinion that the automobile industry
is simply tied down from enormous pro
ductlon and distribution because of fuel
and supply problems and lack of carry
ing facilities for the finished ears.- -.
" rThe Plerce-Arrow factory has. laid
plans for an enormous production for the
coming year, and the handicaps officials
are experiencing are almost dishearten
ing." said Mr. Fagan. "The shortage of
fuel Is meaning more to, the manufac
turers : than ; they at first . anticipated.
Numbers of factories had fuel In q man ti
tles on hand, but their stores were de
pleted by demands from the fuel ad
ministration, i -r : .' . . i '
Truck manufacture will be increased
at ; the factory, and fully 80 ; par cent
more heavy carriers will be turned out
and put on the market. It is Interesting
to not that the sales department has
traced the first Bo tracks made and has
found all of them to be in use at the
present timer having been running since
data of purchase. The factory nas issues
a booklet Illustrating -them all with
actual photographs of the trucks at
Work. 4 i'V .Sj'r"'"'.-
Mr. Fagan departed with the Inten
tion of making a number of other visits
to various eastern manufacturing cities.
but was called back owing to the illness
of his Nwife. He reports that he Just,
managed to escape the cold spell and the.
accompanying storm, and considers him
self verr fortunate in having done so.
He Is forded, he says, to admit that
the local climate,' when not on bad be
havior, is about the best there la.
serving In the motor transport ; corps.
He has been connected with the motor
car business . for some time, both as
salesman and In other capacities. -

Record For Economy
, A model UD 2-ton Federar bought last
; April by the Effenberger Lumber company,
Mohawk Oregon, has been in continuous -I
s use since that time, hauling 2000 feet of
"lumber: each trip a distance of 2H miles
from the company's -mill to the railway.!
,The road is so soft in places that the dif
ferential nousing drags the ground, yet the
truck has never been delayed and the-total
, cost of repairs has been $7:50 for parts '
broken when the truck was carelessly driven 1
into an embankment; , , ... "
i Federals wjth similar records are operating
everywhere, some of them for nearly 10 years. '
r Isn't tRis the kind of service yon want from a
t motor truck? You get it in the FEDERAL.

There are all sorts of claims and
arguments pro and con; and it
comes finally to this: that about
the only real way you can know'
tires of the betfer sort is by the way
they are made and the way they
wear.
Swinehart Tires are made in
