"What will this sport model
sell tor?" was the query made by
Charles Vick to the manager of
the Certified Pnbll e Motor Car
market after the price was named
which is accepted as standard for
such cars when In good condition.
He farther stated, "People do not
come around here .very often now
since the Used Cap Market has got
into full swing. We don't like to
bother about keeping used cars
cleaned up and devoting the best
space to them" which we would
hare to do to sell them. And an
other thing, our salesmen are di
, recting all their energies into new
car sales. . And we are finding it
slow going to unload the few old
second hand cars we have on hand
from last year's business."
This 'statement expresses ' the
situation, as most dealers are find
ing it. f People are coming to the
Certified Market more and more
as the continually increasing vol
ume of business proves. Real
good used cars move out so fast
that it is difficult to keep an ade
quate stock on hand to meet the
demand. Very frequentlyrexcep
I tionally good cars ' are , sold - the
samw day they come in. Some
bargains have been picked up by
people who ' watch the stock of
cars,! waiting for the car,, which
most appeals to them.

Wild Beasts Kill Natives
And Cattle in Rhodesia
LONDON, April 18 (mail).
Farm houses' In " the "Basn border-
ing on the ' northern Rhodesian
frontier have recently been in a
- state Of siege owing to the activit
ies of lions. The animals have
come : out1 of the jungle In r day
light and . attacked the farm ani
mals, carrying off many of them
In some cases the natives work
ing on the farms have- been at-
- tacked, ' and several have been
Skilled. The lions are often joined
i:by leopards and have appeared In
Hi such numbers that" the settlers
are forced to go about only in
large groups and to keep a con
stant guard -over their familes and
stock.
The wife of a railroad employe
reports a thrilling adventure in
this connection. Mrs. Mclean left
her home at Caruso on a bicycle to
visit neighbors. Reaching a river
she found twd large lions on" the
bank.

Arriving at the farm she found
it had been, attacked for several

she was escorted back to her home

Marde . Johnson, .southwest fac
tory representative for the Harley
Davldsdn Motor Co. of Milwaukee,
Wis.,-has been in the city fop the
past two days conferring "With
Harry W. Scott, the local Harley-
Davidson motorcycle -dealer. . ,,,
Mr. Johnson livery enthusiastic
over the outlook for motorcycle
tales In" the northwest this 'season
as they have shown a marked in
crease, over last year. For the
first seven months of the 1924
season more machines have been
sold than during the .entire 1923
season. .. .. ,; f . ' v, . " - - -. -
Much of this Increase is due to
the many improvements that have
been incorporated in the 1924 mo
dels, which - make it very popular
with the motorcycle riders. How
ever, f many of the season's sales
have been made to previous auto
mobile owners who are finding
the motorcycle a much more eco
nomical means of transportation.

"There's a good deal more to a
tire than just the rubber and cot
ton fabric In It. But a lot of peo
ple don't know or else don't real
ize it," says Day & Zosel, Good
year dealers in Salem.
"Besides the engineering skill
required to make a tire mechani
cally capable of meeting the dei
mands of service under which it
will be run, there's the chemistry
of tire building to be taken into
consideration." i ;
"Products used In tire manufac
ture-come from all over the coun
try. First, there's sulphur from
Louisiana. Sulphur makes the
commercial use of rubber possible.
It keeps vulcanized rubber in a
permanent ' physical i condition
which is not affected by heat or
cold. . ;
"Zinc oxide is another impor
tant ingredient. It adds to the vol
ume of the rubber, adds to its ten
sile strength and strenghens - the
tires resistance to abrasion. Most
of this compound comes from New
Jersey or Tennessee. Carbon black
or soot from natural gas also has
the same properties as zinc ovide
and is widely used. This product
comes from West ; Virginia. Ken
tucky, Oklahoma, t Wyoming knd
Montana.
"Georgia and Missouri furnish
an alumina clay, which is used to
make pigments; fibrous asbestine
comes from New York; asbestos
fibre comes from Quebec, Canada
and Georgia and Missouri furnish
barium sulphate. Carbonate of
magnesia comes from : ; Pennsyl
vanla. very little of it Is used,
but It is important nevertheless.
"Then there's lime, used as an
inert filler, from Indiana and Mis
souri. And lead In the form of
lithopone' and talc from Ontario
and Vermont are also used in the
process of tire building. . Talc and
graphite are nsed in certain-processes
a3 lubricants... Most. of.. the
graphite comes from Mexico, j

Mexico and Utah, respectively, are
mixed to form what is known as
mineral rubber, ' a ' pitchlike 'sub
stance .which makes rubber more
plastic in the mixing process in
the mill. ' ; 5
"Petroleum is used to make
rubber stock more pliable and de-
gras, or the grease extracted from
sheep's wool is used as a soft
ener. Aniline oil from the chemi
cal companies near Philadelphia
is one of the chief Ingredients
composing accelerators ' com
pounds used to help In the curing
process of making-tires.
"Finally there is gasoline, car
bon disulphlde, benzol and de
natured alcohol, the solvents
each with a distinct use.' So you
see that there is more to a tire
than just some rubber and cotton
and a tread sign." -3 "
