features of the coming big Portland

closed car models. At least one-third
perhaps even one-half of the 176
models to be shown, will be of the
enclosed type.

memory to remember .back to the

all of which will be on exhibition' at
the Portland show in many differ

closed type of automobile is pushing

type.
The reason for this trend to TCe
closed car is easy to diagnose. The
closed automobile combines comfort
with utility In a manner with which
the open car can nerer compete. Mod
ern' engineering methods have re
duced the weight of automobile chas
sis and body to such an extent that
it no longer is necessary1o make a
closed car weigh half as much as a
locomotive. Infact, the latest mod
els weigh surprisingly little more
than the open caVs and can go any
where that an open car goes, with
Infinitey more comfort In disagree
able weathers.
The number of entries of closed
cars already made for the Portland
automobile show emphasizes the
trend of the present day. The visitor
to the big show will see, however, not
only all the very latest types of
closed cars, but the latest models of
open cars as well.
In all 69 different make of pas
senger automobiles will be on dis
play, and 176 different models.
Still another feature of the Port
land show -is the truck show held In
connection with It. For the first
time on the Pacific coast a show will
be devoted exclusively to trucks.
The truck section of the show will
be held in the Portland armory, only
a few blocks from the Ice palace.
and one ticket will admit the bearer
to both shows without additional
cost. There will be 50 different
makes of trucks on display, and ap
proximately 100 different models.

Come up to Date in Sup-
port of Work
At J o'clnok Monday morning at
the Commercial club rooms, a score
of business men gathered and start
ed out to romh ! r for the re
quired fund to iut Salem on the map
in boys' welfare work. These were
men of many personal interests
men who are making great sacrifices
in order to put the scout program at
the disposal of Salem leadership.
These men have studied the situa
tion carefully, know the crying need
of proper programs and methods
tor the training of a real citizenship
and they are sworn to pnt this propo
sition ever the top. Salem must have
the scout program. At the present
time there is no other institution
caring directly for the needs of Sa
lem boys, and Scouting offers the
one solution of an immense problem
Results yesterday were not yet ascer
tained late last night.
Do your duty by your civic inter
ests today. Subscribe to the Scout
budget, and assure your city of a
clean, virile, community loving citi
zenship when yon drop off the line
Thd Hoy Scouts of America is a
paying proposition for Salem. To
every citizen who invests in the boy
hood of his community, there conies
back 100 per cent dividends. This
s true because Hoy Scouts learn
how, through a wonderfully con
structive program, to build civic in-1
terests, because Hoy Scouts have an
abiding passion for law and order,
and ltecau.se scouting marshals in
the virtues of manhood that guaran
tee a civic Interest and pride that
can do no other but make future cit
izenship of a Salem home-grown pro
duct.
And. more than that! The citizen
ry of Salem will, through Scouting,
have been trained under expert, patriotic.-broad-minded
leadership who
know the value of the Investment.
Thousand I toys Kligible
At the present time there are
nearly 1000 boys in this community
who are eligible for Scouting. Hoys
who are the making of men kho
will become men In a very few years
nd the city of Salem must awake
to the fact that now is the time to
prepare for the future.
T6 put a method that wltl work, a
program broad enough to cover all
abilities and equipment which will
attract, in the harnessing of the pos
sibilities of Salem youth is the big
gest job that any ; civic community
has ever had to face. Scoutine of
fers a program, already put to the
test. Scouting does work, and it Is
Salem's task to fire the boilers that
produce the steam where by 1000
of Salem V. boys are fed to the ma
chine that will produce clean, verile
manhood. Scouting is not a passing
whim. It has come to stay, if Sa
lem will only play the good host.
Ilea to I-ublic Made
The Salerii business men- who are
trying to put this program over the
top need $5000 worth of Salem grit
courage and stick-to-lt-iveness !n or
der to put the machine in proper
motion. The future manhood of an
entire community is waiting the out
come. Will Salem face the situation
squarely upon a sound foundation
or must we Ftill linger in the hack-
woods of civilization regarding our
boys' organizations and their train
ing and education?

Attorney Vanderveer attempted to
work the automatic rifle, uc: with
out success, until advised by Harnett
how to release the catch. It was the
first time any of the defendants has
spoken aloud in court. A. C. Hughs
chief of police of Centralla. also was
called to identif the weapons. Kf
forts to trace the sale of the 38-55
rifle have not been completed, the

All witnesses were ordered exclud
ed from the court room late today
by Judge John M. Wilson.
Attorney Vanderveer was notified
totday that Dr. Donald Nicholson of
Seattle would not be able to examine
Loren Roberts, one of the 11 defend
ants, in an effort to determine his
sanity, and it is understood the court
will be asked to authorize some other
alienist to make the examination.
A Portland physician will be re
quested to make the examination,
Vanderveer intimated.
The prosecution will continue the
introduction of exhibits tomorrow. It
was said today. It was thought that
this phae of the case would be com
pleted during the day and the tak
ing of evidence which would detail
the shooting started.
Witness is Quizzed.
Sheriff Bfiiy in his testimony to
day relative to the rifle, revolver and
pistol exhibits, said that Dert Bland
had in effect admitted taking bis
(Bland's) rifle to Seminary hill and
that O. C. Bland had admitted tak
ing his rifle, to the Arnold hotel.
A 32-20 rifle was produced.
"Did you ever show that rifle to
Bert Brand?" Prosecutor C. D. Cun
ningham asked.
Ves sir," answered the sheriff.
"What did he say?"
"He claimed ownership of the
gun." ' i
"When did he say he saw it las't?"
"He told me he threw it: away on
the railroad track near Galvln."
"And before that?"
"He said it was the gun he had
on the hirt. .rr
What hill?"
"Seminary hill."
A similar answer was given when
the rifle of O. C. Bland was produced.

A well-known authority states that

He states that excess of hydrochloric

president when he overruled Senator
Norris" point of order against the
motion to reconsider the ratification
vote. The latter resulted in a count
of 62 to 10, the irreconci tables alone
refusing to back up the ruling of the
chair. Later Senator Norris made
a speech bitterly criticsing the par

treaty's reconsideration was accom
plished.

Hath HriMlex with Diffeiences.
In all quarters it was emphasized
tonight that smoothness of the day's
proceedings was not to be taken as
assuring any agreement between the
parties on reservations. Although
many senators professed to be hope
ful of ratification, it was conceded
everywhere that many differences
still stood In the way. There were
evidences also that the irreconcilable
group had plans of its own to mag
nify these differences as much as
possible.
You were taught at school
that your body undergoes a
complete change of structure
every seven years.
This tearing down and. build
ing up process of body tissue
continues witheut a moment
pause throughout life.
And when a man gets into a
physical rendition that the tis
sues keep breaking down and
wasting away faster than Na
ture can replace them, right
then he begins to grow "old".
This doesn'tx necessarily
mean, however, that he chas
reached an advanced age.
Thousands upon thousands of
people begin to break down,'
their vital organs giving evi
dence of fast approaching de
cay, long before they reach
middle age simply because
they fail to give Nature, at
the proper time, the needed
belp to rebuild.
If you are beginning to show
the slightest sign of a physical

Fine Metals

As a car is 98 metal you can readily
imagine how great a part metals play in its
quality. A Maxwell is made of fine metals
extra fine metals; otherwise it never could
have survived those 1,500,000,000 miles that
owners are estimated to have driven it.
These metals had to be of the finer grades'
in a Maxwell. For a Maxwell is light 2130
pounds. Lighter metals had to be used but
lighter in weight only not in strength.
Such metals are the extra fine metals that
the great science of metallurgy has produced.
They are high priced. But they have won
countless friendships for Maxwell, developed
a great family of owners approaching 400,000
in number.
This vast number is growing daily at the
rate of 100,000 per year.
