"Poor, the deuce. Tou oucht to sf the money that bird spends on his girl!" -- BEAUTIES ARE WELL SUITED TO EACH OTHER TO BE MADE AUTOMOBILE RO INTO D. P. Dean, sales manager of the William T. Patten Motor company, Seattle distributors of Maxwell and Chalmers motor cars, together with Mrs. Pean Mr. and Mrs. G.' W, Cleveland of Seattle and William P.- Marquat, automobile editor of the Seattle Times, arrived in Portland last week en a scouting trip over the Pacific highway, to -determine road conditions between Portland and Se attle for the advice of Shriners con tent plating a journey from the Bound city to the Shriners celebration here. ..Marquat expected to have a roll of copy paper as thick as a 30x3 tire when he arrived back home, and his notes on . the highway between Toledo and Vancouver were both .voluminous and eloquent. "There, is a sweet little .detour south l loieap wnere me rraa gangs are ow ing some construction," said Marquat, "and the road along the Cowlits river isn't in the best of shape. From Toledo1 south to Kelso is, the worst part of the road .and is the one stretch of highway the Shriners need worry about. . The road crews are giving the surface such attention now, though, that by the time summer travel becomes heavy there will be a better chance to move swiftly and with decision over its more or iess com fortable finish. ' , "We drove down In a Chalmers Hot spot Six, leaving Seattle about noon and getting into Portland near the 9 o'clock " mark. We had a great trip. The road to Toledo is fine and runs through some splendid country, while that part of the - highway . from Woodland south along the heights above the river is as good as some of the things we see in North ern Washington." The Dean party made its headquarters at the C -I Boss Automobile company here, local Chalmers distributors, - and made extensive trips' about the city to take in the sights, leaving Sunday for Seattle over the same route, Marquat with the intention of charting the mud holes both going and coming. ' - "If I'd marked every bump along one little section ' of that highway the map ' would have looked like a smallpox prog ress chart. It will be a great little road when it is paved, but now oh boy!" Members of the party reported busi ness to be good in 7 Seattle ' with fair prospects of cars, coming through v ith regularity from this time on. Money conditions are getting better and there is a tendency on the part of the banks, thinks Dean, to be more optimistic than they have been for some time. The gaso line situation is being felt to some ex tent, and the party encountered some inconvenience on its trip south through lack of the fuel at various points. They managed to obtain a sufficient quantity for their needs, however.' "'j. : r- A , j' . , , .... r i 1 " 4 & V : - . - .. ... U- -r "' -.

BUSH DECLARES FATTY HAS IT SOFT , The one thing In Los Angeles that impressed R. S. Bush, assistant, man ager; of the local factory branch of the IFord Motor company, was that "Fatty" Arbuckle has It pretty soft Riding around, in his $25,000 Pierce Arrow with Its robin's egg blue body and all sorts of trimmings and fix ings. 1 "'" , :"r.;v j U 1 : Bush has just been down to the land of perpetual sunshine and returns with a new coat of tan to his cheek, and a new luster to his eye after his two weeks' rest. He reports i that . things in the southern state, and particularly around the movie town, are in first class condi tion, that business is good, and every body seems to be In the best of spirits. The Tjoet Angeles Commercial club Staged its industrial parade while Bush Was in the city, and the Arbuckle car, with the addition of Bebe Daniels and Lila Lee as enhancing features to its at tractiveness, led : the parade . through the city. ' The body of the movie star's car was built In , Los Angeles by . the Don Lm Coach and Body works, and as such held a rightful place in the pro cession as an example of Los Angeles craftmanship. There were numerous floats and the celebration was declared a huge success by both natives and vis itors..-- !" ' i ' ? . Bush was also introduced to the Good year Pony Blimp, a lighter-than-air craft built by the . Goodyear works in Los Angeles. The balloon is operated by a small motor giving it a speed of about 35 miles an hour, and' has been a draw ing card to eight-see r ever since its de but at the time of -the aircraft show. The local manager performed at the end of one of the anchor ropes when the blimp was being put to bed after the celebration,- and declares he obtained some needed exercise doing his part re straining th youthful effervescence of th tiny craft. , i AM j TEN THOUSAND AT OLD PRICES .

On Air Pressure : Reduction Given A tiniely warning to autoists against reducing the air pressure In their tires , during the hot summer weather is now particularly oppor tune. This fallacy is common among motorists who do not. understand, that radiation ; carries - off any sur plus heat that might otherwise, be dangerous to the life of a tire. Even during the terrific grind of the race track, when tires undergo the most gruelling punishment, this principle holds. It is underinflation, even during the hottest . days, that ruins more tires than I any . other cause, according to experts of the Miller Rubher company r at Akron, Ohio. The facts are that recom mended air pressures are safe even In the summer. ... . ' ': .-t:- j;v''.. t r By reducing pressure, the increased flexing of the tire merely creates- the condition which the car owner wishes to guard against. The mo torist can well afford the time need ed to gauge the air pressure In his tires for the sake of greatly In creased mileage. i f SIGNAL DEVICE IS PERFECTED HERE Local Concern Is Handling Prod uct Through' . Company Or ganized at Vancouver. CONSERVE QASOLIME Don't Use Gasoline To Clean Leather Unless you wish to crack the leather do not use gasoline ia cleaning It One fairly good way to get off dirt from leather is to use plain water, to which a little ammonia has been added. After this has dried the leather should be rubbed briskly with a soft cloth, such as flannel or cheesecloth. .If you wish to do the best thing possible for the leather, either purchase one of. the prepared leather dressings or make some yourself. For this purpose a mixture of two parts of linseed oil to one of turpentine is as effective as anything else. CONSERVE GASOLINE Secures Well Known Man C. B. Morse, until recently advertis ing manager of the New Tork Packard company, has been appointed general advertising manager of Hare's Motors, operating the Mercer, Locomobile and Simplex companies.' Mr. Morse is ' a widely known advertising man and through " his earlier associations is in especially close touch with the printing trade. He already has i assumed his duties with Hare's Motors. A new signal product, known as the "day-and-night automobile sig nal, has been perfected by local men and is now being: handled by a com pany formed In j Vancouver,' Wash under the name of the Day and Night Auto Signal company. The device Is being manufactured by the Specialty Foundry & Machine works here In Portland and the company will do most of its business from this city as a shipping center. -. " ; The device itself is attractive and seems to fill a" long-felt, want on the part of the automobile i driver. The equipment consists of two red 4 Inch lenses, each stencilled with a white ar row across its face. An arm holds the double lensed chamber , at, a distance from the edge of the windshield and bracket fastens the whole securely to me windshield frame. - , - . The signal is operated by a small Tiand trigger, , turning . the lens 90 de grees in either direction, showing the turn the driver will make, the ar rows on the lenses functioning in place or the arm signal, so often mislnter preted. A small light within the cylin.- aricai lens chamber furnishes illumfna tion of the device at night. When in neutral neither arrow nor light shows. Indicating a straight course on the part or tne oriver. The chief recommend tion of the signal Is its simplicity. The officers f the company are George w. ennsue, president ; Clarence E. Blinn, vice president, and J. Ruel White, secretary-treasurer. They have given a contract to the Specialty Foundry A Machine works for the manufacture of 10,000 of the signals, to be delivered by the middle of June. A large portion of tne signals have already been completed. The Seattle police have approved ths idea and it is expected that the Port. land bureau will also give the device its sanction. CONSERVE GASOLINE . TNT Does Work Well ' : The Lane county commissioners have been demonstrating the efficiency of the oeaoiy TNT on the highways In this region, finding it more : effective 'than dynamite or giant powder, and . much more safe to handle. They have been allotted 60 tons of the stuff, which comes to the county from , the state without cost. 1 to 5 Tons TENTH, YEAR REASON The Company Behind the Truck . . 5 ' i .

MAKE PLACES ATTBACTITE . The automobile men have determined to make the various temple headquarters the most attractive places in the city. with the Shrine color scheme carried out in floral and other decorations. There will be plenty of comfortable chairs and settees for those who are tired from the continuous round of pleasure. ' v The Cohen brothers of the Oldsmobile distributing agency have gone to great expense in makings their salesrooms on Broadway especially attractive, and the Willys-Overland, where the Shrine com mittee will have its headquarters, will snrpass anything before attempted; say members of the firm. The placing and caring for all cars while the owners are in the city is be ing arranged by the; Portland Garage & Repairmen's association of - which Wil liam J. Lester is presid ant. . Already places have been found for housing the cars in garages of the city, and proper ties throughout various sections of the city .have been lined up for the. over flow, as it is . predicted at least 10,000 automobile owners will drive in to the Shrine and Rose Festival week enter tainment.
