THE DALLES DAILY CHRONICLE. MONDAY, APRIL 4, 1921. PAGE SEVEN Travel Transport Topics Conducted byrCoodrich Encircling the globe in a two-ton truck with his wife and .three child ren is the plan of Commander 'John Weston, a Boer volunteer in the Brit ish imperial naval forces, who Is now in Detroit supervising the comple tion of a specially constructed chassis to be used on the prolonged trip. in his presidential Inaugural parade. All other presidents used carriages m their corresponding trips from the capitol to the White House. President Harding smashed tradition; his con veyance was an automobile. The new president is a veteran" motorist. He owned one of the first cars to be seen on the streets of Marion, Ohio. CHRONICLE CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENTS Increased railroad passenger fares now In effect have caused many trav elers to desert the railroads in favor of motor transportation. A Virginia railroad, 50 miles in length. In asking permission to discontinue its passen ger service states that motor travel on improved highways paralleling Ms line has so seriously affected its pas senger traffic that it is no longer profitable. University of Michigan highway en gineering and transport courses have attracted engineers and contractors from Washington, Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, West .Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, New,. Jersey, tne Provinces of Quebec and Saskatchewan. Two en gineers were sent by the Chinese gov ernment to specialize in highway transport. There is no more interested spec tator to the final rounds of the bat tle between "Kid" Spring and winter than Mr. Average Motorist. He's root ing hard for the peppy kid to put the finishing punches over and to score a complete knockout. When the bat tle's won, he and the youngster will lock arms and celebrate with a pro longed Joy-ride. A two-horse team will haul a two ' ton load over the average road at a' speed of two miles per hour a total haul of 24 miles for an eight-hour day. In the same time a motor truck will haul the same load a distance of 136 miles." At the end of a year the truck would gain 33,660 miles on the team. There Is little excuse for the loss of life and the frightful injuries received at the railroad crossings. Automobile drivers 'take inexcusable chances and innocent passengers suffer for it. The driver may know his own speed, but he has np way of knowing the speed of an approaching train. While it may be half a mile away when noticed, it only takes a few seconds to reach the crossing. Literally .tearing mighty holes through the atmosphere, Otto Walker crowned himself king of motorcycle speed demons by shattering four would's record at Fresno, Cal., re cently. He did better than 100 miles per hour in four races. He holds the following "competition" records: One mile, 33 2-5 seconds, or 107.78 miles per hour; ten miles, 5:48, or 103.44 miles per hour; fifteen miles, 8:37 2-5, or 104.37 miles per hour; and fifty 'talles, 29:34 2-5, of 104.43 miles per 'hour. jMost every movie fan is familiar with Joe Martin, the almost humin monkey that plays prominent roles in film comedies. But did you know that Joe is a motorist? Yep, he's a real gasoline fan. He drives by him self and may be seen 'most any day spinning about the streets of Univer sal City, California. President Jackson rode horseback Every rural preacher should have a car! This is the subject of an editorial that appeared in a recent issue of a prominent religious publication. It said: "The minister's efficiency is doubled, trebled and even quadrupled by the ubo of the four-wheeled char iot of the apocalypse. Desert places are beginning to rejoice and the wil derness is becoming glad by the her ald of the cross in his automobile." Spring is here! Winter with all its handicaps to the motorist is behind and can be forgotten. Out in the coun try Mother Nature is swinging into her spring work, making the trees blossom, tho seeds sprout and crops grow. iHer beckoning call cannot be resisted by the motorist. No season of the year is more invitingly attrac tive than the immediate thirty days ahead. 'Hike to the country. Motoring is constantly getting safer. There were only half as many deaths per car in 1919 as there were in 1914, and the percentages being .0025 in 1914 and .0013 .in 1919. Figures from Detroit and New 'York for 1920 show that In the former city there was one less death in 1920, and in iNew York the toll was twenty-one less than the 1919 mark. Shifting into intermediate speed before crossing railroad tracks is a mighty good habit to form. The re duced speed makes a quick stop pos sible, when necessary, while acceler ation is much quicker in second should the motorist find himself on the tracks before noticing an ap proaching locomotive. Safety first! A surplus in the United States treasury was the direct cause of our first venture in national road con struction. In 1808 the Secretary of the Treasury suggested the building of a road as a means of reducing the surplus. The .road built Is what Is now the 'National Pike. By 1812 there was spent, on this road about $200,000 in macadam construction and stone bridges. The automobile Industry Is rapidly reaching the "full steam ahead" stage. During February 9,400 carloads of autos left the factories, while 6,700 machines were driven away by dealers and purchasers. This is an increase of 50 percent over January. Ford an nounced that on March 2, production reached the 2,000 mark and that 60, 000 cars were shipped during March. Our weekly DON'T Don't neglect your steering mechanism. A car whose direction cannot bo controlled Is dangerous. While adjusting steer ing mechanisms it in best to turn wheels to extreme rlzrht. Parts are worn less at this position than when straight aher.d. Never turn the steer ing wheel while the car is standing still. This puts sovcre strain on all steering gear parts and is hard on tires. Careful drivers will inspect frequently.
