V; Service efficiency, a eervice which
not only meet the demands of the
public but anticipates those demands,
Is the keynote of the policy of the
new administration, headed by Pres
ident C. L. Weaver, which will pre
side over the activities of the Port
land Automotive Trades association
during the .coming year.
"The success of our organization as
well as the success of our members, de
pends upon public confidence. Only by
the Inauguration of and strict adherence
to a basic policy of honesty of service
can the automotive crafts expect ; to
prosper asserts .President Weaver, who
was elected at the November 17 annual
meeting of the organization. I ;
TO JSDTCATE SHOP OWXKB
. . Xt Is the mission of such onranisa
. Hon as ours to educate the shop owner
to the vital necessity of a square deal
towards the public and then educate the
public to unhesitatingly recognize a firm
displaying our emblem as one guarantee
ing honesty of service. j
-"The frenzied, hectic days of the: in
dustry are gone. Things are getting
back to normal and during 1921 it shall
be our. strongest endeavor to give j the
public a. more efficient service."
The Portland Automotive Trades asso-
i elation is the new corporate name of
the Portland . Garage and Repair Men's
association, formed in 1914. Organised
fby garage and garage repair men, it has
grown in size arid comprehensiveness
until oday its membership Includes the
' tire man, the battery man, the painter,
the trimmer, the body builder, the -specialty
distributor and many others.
I Hence the i need for a change of name
and the unanimous vote of the stock
holders 'to effect the change.
TEAB. IS IMPORTANT j

J. Lester, has in many respects been
J the most important in the history of the

Hints onj Storagg
. Of Automobiles
Furnished Owners
In spite of the belief that Oregonians
motor all the year, there will be some
,car owners who will put the bus away
in a short time and hoof it for the rest
of the stormy weather. For those who
still believe automobiles to be built of
-pasteboard,, glued together, and who will
presently . be about to lock the garage
' with the car on the inside, the following
' facts regarding the care of tires on
stored cars may; be useful :
jt Wash the tires carefully on outside
j to remove oil and grease.
Remove tires from the wheels and
, wrap them up in paper or cloth.
Store in a cool, dry place away from
daylight" ' :! ; 1 i ijj

Good Road Boosters
Have Catchy Slogan
Jn their campaign to ! put across a
12-year $80,000,000 road building pro
gram, the good roads advocates of Ala-
- - bama have adopted the slogan :- "The
heaviest tax the farmer has to pay is
, the mud. tax." The farmers in that state
re being shown; that good roads benefit
them in a dollar and cents way. Good
roads advocates in Oregon, where road
- building is progressing far more rapidly
than it is in Alabama, are thinking of
adopting some : similar watchword to
stimulate better highways in this state.
Here's Way to Join
- Driving Chain Ends
1 The easiest way to Join the ends of
a driving chain is to jack up the rear
' wheel and then engage the links of one
' end of the chain with the teeth of the
countershaft sprocket. If the rear wheel
is then turned until it is possible to en
gage the first link of the other end of
itee chain with that tooth of the sprocaet
which brings the links to be joined to-
1 gather, and if the wheel is then turned
Ibaak far enough ' so that both ends of
t the . chain are held on the sprocket, it
.will be an easy matter, especiaUv If a
small center punch is used to line sp the
' holes and Insert the connecting pia or
Don't Run Solid
Tires on Car Track
Injuries resulting from running solid
tires in car tracks are serious and read
r ily apparent. The construction of solids
tdoes not permit a ready distribution of
, part of the load strain to the rail's lower
. flange, so the major portion is carried
upon the section running on the car
rail with the result that it is quickly
worn and broken away. The injury is
- not confined to one or two spots on the
tire, but extends around the entire -cir-'
cu reference, eventually leaving the tire
.reduced by one half to carry the full
load.

FEATURE OF RACER
PUT ISTOCK CAR
Some; of the most Interesting en
gineering features developed in rac
ing cars are Incorporated in a j new
An: erican-built automobile which
was recently displayed at the New
York Salon. '
! This car, the Duesenberg Stri tight
Eight, haa a single block, vertical, eight
cylinder engine and hydraulically Oper
ated four-wheel brakes. The principles
it embodies were worked out during
the war by the Duesenberg' brothers
of Elisabeth, K. J., and have been
demonstrated in a practical way. '
As the eight-cylinder engine has a
bore of 2 and a stroke of S inches,
It is as compact as most sixes, the
overall length of the cylinder block be
ing only 30 Inches. An overhead cam
shaft actuates the valves, which ; are
inclined in the cylinder head. Aluminum
is used whenever practical to reduce
weight. f : . j , ' j
-The four-wheel braking system is par
ticularly interesting, as it is the first
example of a construction of this kind
on a atock American Car. When the
pedal applied, oil is forced from a
master cylinder, on the central cross
member of the frame, through distrib
uting lines to an actuating piston and
cylinder unit on the expanding sectors
of each individual brake. The oil lead
to each front wheel brake is machined
in the axle forging and taken through
the steering pivot. This eliminates all
connections and ! joints. -
When the pedal Is released the return
springs withdraw the sectors from the
brake drums. In the event of a highly
Improbable leakage or' breakage in any
one of. the oil lines leading to the
individual brakes, a floating piston
valve instantly closes the opening to
that line, this preventing loss of oil
and keeping the other brakes in opera
tion. , i ;
The car has a waeelbase of 1S4 Inches,
assuring easy riding and permitting of
mounting roomy , bodies. It Is low hnug
and sporty in appearance. Quantity
production of these cars will be started
early in March or ApriL '(
Slow Race Contest
Latest Novelty for
Airplane Drivers
' , j -
How slowly can an aeroplane fly?
That Is the latest question to occupy
the attention of aeronautical authorities.
The British ministry recently conduct
ed a contest, the winner of which was
to -be' the plane that could mam tain
itself In the air with the slowest possi
ble speed. Harry Hawker of trans
Atlantic fame, led with-a speed of 43
miles an hur. A twin-engined Vlckers
Vimy. similar to the first to fly the
Atlantic non-stop, ' was second with a
low speed of 49 miles an hour.
Efforts are being made to encourage
the development of slow flying craft to
insure : greater safety in , landing -and
taking off from the ground. 1

Proper Punishment
For Jay Walker Is
Shown I in Example
At a recent safety exhibit at Krle
Beach, near Buffalo, N. T 32,000 people
saw what should be done to a "Jay
walker." At a crowded street corner a young
man playacted this unpopular pest. He
was promptly arrested, handcuffed, a
sandwich sign put on him, with "I'm a
Jaywalker" on one side and "I took a
chance and it didn't pay" on the other ;
and then, with a rope around his neck,
he was led around behind a" police wagon
covered with slogans, a truck similarly
covered and a band. Two of the slogans
were :
