Long Vacations.
Whether preparing your car for
inna-jtAnttnanttl tAiip nlni-
tion or -week-end trip, there is a
" certain amount" of equipment
which should always be In the car
to meet emergencies.
Have you ever started out on an
afternoon,1 drive over; paved roads
with sun shining bright when a
sudden - shower conies up, which
of course does not mean anything
on the paved road? However, .a
"' bridge la out which necessitates a
aeiour tnrougn a iieia up ana
- down, a slippery bank, or perhaps
miles oil' your direct route over
i steep dirt hills. If you are an old
head at louring,! it won't be neces
sary to suggest the Importance of
a good pair of antiskid chains as
? part of. your regular tool equip
iment, and these should be on the
;rear. wheels before you dig your
self into a rut, or experience a bad
skid on a wet dirt hill.
i A collapsable water bucket for
filling radiator should he in the
pocket of your car door. Maybe
-your car don't use any water, .but
the .radiator drain cock may ' Jar
j open, a hose connection might de
li velop a leak, a slipping fan belt
might i cause overheating. ' You
"can't always find a water pail, and
to have one handy will save time.
lln the case of-an overheated mo
) tor, do not attempt to drive to wa
ller, if the cooling Bystem is dry.
It is better to walk a block or a
j fcaif mile, for , water, than to de
stroy your motor ana spou your
vacation. -
Fuel filling stations are numer
ous in some sections, but did you
ever run out of gasoline or oil late
at night and find some of the sta-
' tions closed, or have to walk a
mile to a telephone? It is very
"easy to overlook filling your tanks
at proper intervals, also you are li
able to miscalculate how far you
can travel on one filling, for heavy
winds, grades, dirt roads, ', low
tires, leaks developing and many
other things are liable to pull your
fuel mileage down a few pegs. Au
tomobile supply houses seH'conve
nient metal boxes for an extra gal
lon of gas and oil, that can be at
tached to running board. - True
- enough, some cars have -reserve
apply tanks incorporated in the
fuel system, but I have met these
fellows on the road looking for as
sistance. - - :
if In the past the majority of car
manufacturers have given little
attention to quality and -convenience
of a good Jack. However,
the matter is receiving serious at

complaints. Do you know that you

Jcost. When buying a jack, test it

Very often a tourist pulls off the
paved road into a dry camp site;

' CUT A SURPRISE
Reduction in Price of Popular
Car Comes Unexpectedly
in Face of Demand
Just as the Chevrolet announces
a huge cut In the delivery prices
of all Chevrolet models, the local
agency in Salem succeeded in put
ting over another , record . month
of sales. The July records show
that 394 Chevrolets were Issued
state licenses in Marion county.
In speaking of the price cut in
the Chevrolet cars Saturday, Mr.
Newton said: . "Although the cut
was more or less of a surprise to
the-wpubllc, it has been the policy
of Chevrolet manufacturers to de
liver the car as cheaply as pos
sible, and today's(prlce Is approxi
mately 4 0 per cent lower than the
price In 1921. The car has been
steadily Improved, and the cost
of production is practically the
same, so far as the individual car
is concerned." "
Buyers of Chevrolet cars are
well pleased throughout the coun
try, and there are models to suit
most every purpose.
