El STYLE
IN GARAGES; CAR
HAS COMPARTMENT
Apartment Has Spacious Show
room and Machines Each Have
Home; Conveniences Included.
Not content with having set the
style for centuries In plan and up
keep for the kitchen, the Dutch
teem now to be about to set the
style in garages as .veil.
"Conceive of an attractive apartment
house with ,a handsome , showroom on
the street floor, and one will appreciate
the setting in which a most unusual
service station and garage is operated in
The Hague," said" Th. van der Stempel
of the tirm of Naaml Venn Hamln of
that city, .recently upon" reaching the
United States for the purpose of study
ing Yankee methods for service and our
way of handling automotive affairs. Van
der - Stempel goes on to describe the
Dutch method;
"Between the show. windows la a drive
way that leads to a spacious . paved
court yard. This is directly In the rear
of the show rooms and comprises a re
markable arrangement of more 1 than
CO easily accessible fireproof garages,
constructed ; of brick, each separated
.'from its neighbor by concrete walls.
Every owner has his individual key that
unlocks a small compartment in front
from which is released a handle that
very easily rolls up a fireproof steel
shutter giving full width opening to the
garage. Each garage contains two lock
ers, a . specially made tire rack and a
table. Besides a skylight, they have
electricity and are steam heated.,
"There is a water faucet at every sec
ond garage door. The monthly rental
of these garages is 40 guilders, equiva
lent to about $13 In United States gold,
for which is guaranteed at least one
washing of the car a week and twice
when time permits. ; t
- "In the -main building there are loung
ing rooms for customers, as well as
severs! rooms for the comfort of chauf
feurs. Above the show rooms are apart,
ments. The cool and dark basement of
the main building Is used for tire stor
age, unique racks being mployed, over
each of which is a small shelf for boxes
of inner tubus that properly belong on
that particular rack."
Tail Light Law Is
Founded on Bible,
Judge Explains
, Morgantown, W. Va., Nov. 20. (I. N.
- S.) Mayor William H. Gilmore of this
city announces that law founded on the
Bible is good enough for him, A local
man charged with not having the tail
light burning on his automobile was
arraigned before the mayor and fined
1 3.. The accused protested and said It
was a poor law, under which h was
fined and he did not think it would hold
water in court.
The mayor responded thai any law
founded on the Bible was good enough
for him.
The defendant said he could not see
where the tail light of an automobile
bad anything to "do with the Bible. The
mayor looked pityingly at the accused.
"Do you remember," he remarked,
"that story about the ten virgins, five
of whom had lights and five of whom
didn't? Well, if you do, you will re
member, that the Lord wouldn't have
anything to do with the five without
lights, and neither will this court"

Tbe police are enforcing these arm signals, as hown above by two Es

necessarily having to slow down for this maneuver, is preparing to

The competition for this privilege was
keen, several old firms in the territory
submitting bids for shoe equipment.
Just what the supply, needed will be has
not been estimated, but the determina
tion of the state body to speed up their
work with all equipment during the year
Just starting may mean substantial busi
ness for the Oldfield concern. The
Fletcher & James partnership came Into

HIGHWAY BOOSTED
AT BANKS MEETING
f . , , ..
Legislature and State Highway
Board Will Be Appealed To
! to Provide Aid.
Banks, Nov. 20. Monday night "in
Banks, j 200 people delegates and
their wives from Cedar Mill, North
Plains, Banks, Manning, Buxton and
Scofleld gathered for the meeting of
the Inland Loop Highway associa
tion. Portland citizen and organiza
tions are interested, in the proposed
highway, and the Astoria Commer
clal club has indorsed the movement
with a promise of aid. ;
An executive committee composed of
Mrs. Weatherred- of Portland, Messrs.
May and Reeves of Cedar Mill, Walters
of North, Plains, I L. Crawford of Man
ning and Dr. Via of Banks will have
charge of all work between now and the
meeting date of the Oregon legislature.
Two thousand people, mostly farmers,
are depending on the legislature to aid
in recommending that the highway com
mission designate this route as a state
highway this winter.
As it Is, It is a disgrace to Oreron
that the best farm country of the state
cannot get to market on account of
mud. while scenic highways are pic
tured in every Sunday paper. Every
wholesale house in Portland is solicited
and expected to get behind this move
ment and urge their representatives to
favor quick action, as the commercial
men loss money every day they take
a trip through the muddy stretch from
Cedar Mill to Vernonla. Consequently
the mall order houses of other states
are getting the money. A deleration
will attend the next meeting of the State
tiignway commission In Portland.
Rusty Clamp Will
Cause Drive Grab
If the sliding member of the clutch Is
rusty it will give the effect of grabbing.
Tne rusted portion will prevent - the
clutch's engaging gradually holding for
j a fraction of a second and thus forming
1 a quick engagement. The operator often
j believes that the trouble la due to poor
lacing or. worn engaging members.

IS NO! PR1
Big Issue at Beverly Hills on
Gobbler Day Is Whether Chev
rolet Will Retain His Crown.
Beverly Hills Speedway, Los An
geles, Nov, 20. Barney Oldfield,
peer of them all, will bring his. cigar
to Beverly Hills for the Gobbler day
speedfest, where he will pace the
fiends around the bowl even as he
did at Indianapolis and Taeoma,
Fred Wagner, for many years as
good a starter as Barney was a
driver, has been roped In to do the
flag waving for the boys.
But the main question is, not -whether
Barney will smoke more than one cigar
during the race, nor whether Fred's arm
is as supple as it used to be, but who
is to cop the big changer when the flag
flips for the final lap of the racing sea
son. Fans are looking for a lot of
things to happen, and one expected
ceremony is the lifting of the crown from
the head of Gaston Chevrolet, where it
has rested since Indianapolis, and the
placing of i the same diadem upon the
brow of one Tommy Milton, who .has
been the biggest consistent winner of
the year. Gaston won the race at In
dianapolis but has done nothing since.
Tommy Milton, Ralph De Palma, Jimmie
Murphy, and Eddie Hearne are the prin
cipal star drivers who 'have put their
names on the dotted line, and when the
entry list closed last Wednesday, ft was
discovered that the Deusenberg, team,
two Frontenacs, and six Independents
had lined up against the time the gong
sounds at the Beverly dish.
A IX CAIT DO 109 MILES
Every car In the race will be able to
do 100 miles an hour, and the track, be
ing a fast one, the time made by Jimmy
Murphy for the Fresno race, when he
cavorted around the bowl at a 118 m.
p. m. clip, will be faded into the. Umbo
of forgotten things. Kvery driver will
have to step, and Ralph De Palma, who
has completed a flying trip to Paris
since the Union town party, will be in
his element If he can obtain a car that
will stand the gaff. Cars of De Palma's
caliber are few and far between, . being
about as numerous these days as feet on
a fish, He won at Uniontown by strok
ing his rabbit foot with one hand and
driving with, the other. Tommy Milton,
who has copped about everything worth
copping this year, except the big money
it Indianapolis, looks as If he will brine
his new car, a Cliff Durant idea, out
into the open for a win. Eddie Hearne

who ranks rather low among professional
drivers, but who has driven more con
sistently than any other non-winning
driver this past season, is r'arin to erO
and is looked to place well up in the
money.
OKE BABE HOESE
There is -one dark "horse promised
for the big'meet, provided its construc
tion can be brought to completion be
fore the tune for the final speed trials.
It Is the product of an old-time race
driver, name withheld, has 183 cubic
inch piston displacement, and Is said to
be one of the fastest looking combina
tions the game has seen. It may be
that this newcomer will give some of
the old and young hands a tussle for the
$25,000 purse before the final flat flios.

MOST TRAFFIC JAMS
fContimiad Prom Tit One)
through the police traffic department.
The Individual takes the form of the
motor car and truck driver, and the
pedestrian. Streetcars need not be
brought into the controversy, because
they operate along fixed lines and any
motorist who gets into an argument
with . a streetcar gets, the worst of It
nine times out of ten, whether he is
right or wrong. The motor car .has
practically the whole street, the streetcar
has two rails.
BOTH ABE JUST ALIKE
Of the pedestrian and the motor car
driver, neither has any right, either le
gal or moral, to go continually at vari
ance to the good of the other. Between
the motorist and the pedestrian there
has been war since the time when the
first motor car tooted Its first sassy
notice to the pedestrian to skeedaddle
out -of the way, and there will be fric
tion between the two until the last pe
destrian dies and the last motor car is
sold for junk. A pedestrian is not neces
sarily a man who does not own a motor
car. That used to be the correct way
to draw the line.
There were people who owned auto
mobiles and people who did not
Now people drive and walk as they see
nt, and it is no longer a matter of won.
der for a man to have a motor car. The
pedestrian Is the man on foot at a cer
tain time, and the motorist is the man
at the wheel of an automobile at a cer
tain time.
An illustration : A man will drive
downtown, miss a pedestrian by two
inches, through the fault of one or the
other, will think harsh things about the
pedestrian even as that pedestrian is
thinking harsh things about him. -will
park his car and return to the place
where he graced the pedestrian to be
grazed in the same manner himself. If
that man is human he will say the same
things to the motorist of the second part
as the pedestrian of the first part said
to him. True? Certainly It is true.
Again, a man will be guilty of a breach
of traffic regulations and In doing
will fray the temper of a fellow motor
1st. Two minutes later his own temper
wm be irayea by another , motorist
doing exactly the same things of which
he himself was previously guilty. Can
you beat It 7 Driving is largely like
politics ; It Is a matter of give and take.
EDUCATION IS SOLUTION
What is the solution? Can we create
a rnUlenium overnight and make auto
mobile driving and pedestrian Ism safe
for the individual In either case? Not
a chance. We must ba educated. Who
Is going to do it? The motorists them'
selves in the first place, and the police
force In the second, place.' , The law of
self-preservation will have to aid In the
instruction of the pedestrian, aided
and, abetted by the courtesy of the mo
toring public. j
- The traffic ordinance must be en
forced to the letter. If every breach
of that ordinance were a bullet, the
original document would now be shot so
i full of holes it would look like a ggsket

WILL SPEED KING KEEP
HIS RIGHT TO DIADEM?

Gaston Chevrolet
Will, this great race driver's crown be
lifted at Beverley Hills, and that before
the speed diadem is firmly seated upon
his head? Chevrolet broke all records
at Indianapolis by driving the race for
the winning end of the purse without

to repeat since, and critics think some
other driver will "cop" the final reward
as king of speeders.
for a washtub. How long then will It
take to get at the bottom of the mix
and find a way out? Just as long as
motorists and pedestrians each con
tinue to feel that he occupies the streets
through divine right, and that no other
mode of travel, or transportation, than
bis own has any rights he is bound to
respect. Common sense must be taught
or forced onto both motorist and pedes
trians. Pedestrians must be forced to
regard the semaphore at guarded cross
ings and milady to stop thinking about
something 5000 miles away when she is
negotiating a crossing on Broadway at
Washington, or anywhere else. Pedes
trians must stop darting across the
streets between intersections, where the
chance of our heirs collecting on our
life Insurance is far greater than at the
intersection. The motorist should not
be compelled to take all the bawling out
when the pedestrian is at fault On the
other hand, arm signals must be
obeyed and hogging tbe road must
cease. Don't let us wait until the police
take the matter into their own hands.

The time of slippery, skiddy pavements
Is now almost at hand. If accidents are
to be avoided, motorists must exercise
care in driving. , The best way to pre

not a cure-all by any means.
