treated as If he were actually entitled to this consideration, because of the
fact that he has a Trinket Six? Are there parts with which to replace

' -There are (wo factors that govern the health of any business. One Is
the financial power of the bank. The other Is the power of the public, the
ultimate consumer. And the last Is the more powerful of the two.
"DIM YOUR LIGHTS"
TTUNDREDS of .motorists have been driving the highways at night, only
JjL to have their eyes blinded by the glaring rays of light thrown by head,
lamps with. high candlepower. Glaring lights are one of the greatest
menaces to night driving that can be found, and something should be
done to curb or eliminate the evil.
The state law says that the projected ray shall not be thrown above
41 Inches at SO to 00 feet in front of the car. Lenses of all kJjeSe have
been made to bend the ray downward so that the law shall be respected,
but police in every locality in the country have been at their wit's end
to discover the .correct and final solution to the problem. There Is but
one way to do it, and that is by careful focussing.
Patented lenses, aniens carefully adjusted, simply augment the trouble
A prismatic lense, supposed to bend the ray downward, 'If put on upside
-dowrt wilt bend the ray upward, causing a glaring, unpleasant and alto
get her dangerous llgAl. Bulbs of too great a candlepower, even with
the best of patented diffusive lenses. Will cause other automobile drivers
to go wild. Dimming the lights Is but V way of dodging the Issue, for the
driver's vision Is impaired for as long as It requires the approaching car
to pass and go on its way. Many things might happen during that time,
for the rays of dimmed lights are not cast very far down the road. Some
motorists run with their lights dimmed in the city and on the highways
where many motorists gather. In the city the street, lights afford suffi
cient illumination, but on the highways where there are no lights such
driving la subject to great risk.
Focus your lights. Take a black strip and nail it on the garage wall,
on a tree, on a house, anywhere. Just eo it is 41 inches from the ground
level where the csr stands. Then put your car a,t a distance of 60 feet
and focus your lights so the white spot of light comes below the mark.
Put the car at a distance of 100 feet and repeat the performance. Place
the car at 200 feet and focus again. Tbn put three people in the rear
Mat and watch the light field Jump above the 43 inch mark at all points.
Re foe us the lights with the rear seat filled.
You: then will be within the law. Thp loading of the rear seat acta
aa a lever to raise the lights, the elevatlotf depending upon the flexibility
of the springs. Your lights will then never bother anyone and, nine times
out of ten, the dimming process will not be necessary. Use your spotlight
for distance and even though your headlights will be rather low when
the rear seat is unoccupied, the refraction of light along the road will
afford good illumination. With this process pf focusshlg a plain glass
lerae may be used.
Do away with the haphasard lighting of highways at night Do away
with the glare In the other fellow's eyes, bup at the same time have plenty
Of light yourself.

PRODUCTION CUT.
Many Men, Laid Off in Auto In
dustry, Fjock to Farms, Says
Distributor.
Boh Wt B-ubln, president of the
Jtpbln Motor Car pempany, ' lag
Eight distributor, hag just "returned
from a factory trip through Detroit,
Chicago and St. $yula, and In ad
dition to noting the peculiar labor
situation, said that the Industrial
status of practically every -branch
of manufacturing endHTor l on a
basis of the survival of the fittest.
Production is being held within close
limits and only the most skilled workers
are being kept on payralla But this
condition will not bring about a reduc
tion In the price of motor cars, accord-,
ing to the local man, who believes as a
result of his observations that the tend
ency Is upward rather than downward.
"A most peculiar labor situation exists
in Detroit." said Rubin. Thousands of I
men and women have been laid off
there and today it If actually difficult
to find men to do extra work in the
automobile line. It seems that when
turned off they realised that no longer
would they have a chance to go to some
other automobile concern and obtain
wsrk. so they simply picked up bag
and baggage and hiked for the farms
or elsewhere. Most authorities claim
that, the farms hafee profited to the ex
tent of thousands of men and women.
These men and women are getting aa
much, if not mors, money working on the
farms during the harvest aeaaon than
they got in the automobile factoriea, and
now that they are there, when harvest
is over, there is every reason to believe
that Us cities will not ae them before

Motorists Warned
Against Letting Tire
Scrape Upon Curbs
Tire men believe that halt the friction
sometimes enoountared , when the . ques
tion of tire adjustment conies up oould
be done away with by remembering two
things: that there is no quest ton on the
desler's part when the tire la patenUy
defective, and that scraping up against
curbs will take many a dollar's worth et
wear from any tire, ,
Many drivers do not realise the se
riousness ef letting the weight of their
par rst on one tire when that tire is oa
the sharp edge ef the euro. This breaks
spring. The chances are that many will
have become eo used to farm life be
fore that time that the title wtll not
appeal to many of them and the pro
duction of food will receive that much
ef a boost."
The output of the Klnar factory Is be-
Ing held to a minimum, said Rubin, a
'ire-day week being the plan for the
present. Manufacturers of oars are
financing tbemsjglvee to, a great extent.
Inasmuch as parts and' equipment men
are demanding 10 per cent of the gross
contract figure to guarantee perform

DETOURS ABB MADS
The road through the pass is receiving
attention frfom construction gangs and
several detours have to be made on the
route, which; is hard enough at best. Up
hills, over rocks, up and down gulleys,
and over lava beds In blistering heat,
the way leads Into the western valley.
This leg of the Journey furnished one
of the most Interesting hits of the trip
from an adventurous standpoint and
was even worse than the sinuous and
serpentine course through to Diamond

The trail to the fall goes through the
grove, across a footbridge; and out upon
tha rock olateau. One comes upon the
falls suddenly and with a delightful gasp
of surpris. The little creek slips from
among the trees almost at tne cage ei
the nleteau and plunges over the cliff te
a pool far below like a veritable feather
from the cap of the god , of the moun
tains. The falls do not roar, the water
does not plunge with the intensity of
Multnomah. The sight is a reminder of
Mutlnomah and Mist faua blended 4nto
one. The height or the ran causes tne
wster to fall far from the face of the
cliff, which slopes back at the base from
the great overhanging howl xne pooi,
like that oat the upper falls. Is in th
center of the stadium-like gorge and Is
cool and clear.
M.KHTT or rftSSH At
A trail leads down from the cliff and
back into the shelter of the rock. Here
one may alt and see the milky-white
water form a veil cutting th outer
world In half. There are narrow places
in th trail, but no one has difficulty
making a tour of the circle, going down
by way of th cliff, crossing the stream
below the pool, and coming back up
the other side. Shortness of breath is
the- sole punishment, but the falls sfe
worth many little inconveniences ana
there's plenty of fresh air with which to
replenish weary lungs. Don't forget to
go to tBe point where the water slips
over the cliff and, kneeling down, bury
your fac In th cool current and drink
water out-of-doors fashion. It is homage
on may well give to the creator of
such magnificence.
From the camping ground, continue In
the same direction along ; the . road by
which the camp was attained, ascend the
hill, "which is a steep one and requiring
first speed before the crest may be
reached, and continue on th road to
Ralem. One may retrace his way to
Sflverton by this route, or may go to
Salem by way of Aumaville or Macleay.
Both routes afford excellent views of
the famous Waldo hills, of wide reaches
of wheat flelda, and broad acres of pas
ture land. The roads are mostly good,
with some dust, and entirely unsigned
as far as Salem is concerned. Many
finger posts point to Silverton but few
to Salem until within 10 miles of that

Motor Trucks Never
Are Prodigies
They can't be "born won'ders," or any
kind of marveli. They have to be the
outgrowth of years of experience. j
In 1898, the first American motor truck
was builL It was a MACK. Production
then was very slow and limited. Every
truck had to be made by "hand" and up
to 1904 only 20 had been built In 1905
the MACK ' f attory was established at
Allentown, Fa. Every year lince 1898
successful manufacturing experience has
- been built into MACK trucks. No other
truck has a history comparable to the'
MACK's.
