C. Corn of Salem leaves "Babe" Jjer pet coyote In her car, she 'Isn't afraid of auto mobile thieves. An angry coyote. baring needle-like teeth, is more than a match for any light-fing ered prowler. " f i "Babe", now thirteen months old and aid to be the only thoroughly domesticated , coyote in' captivity, is enjoying a visit to Seattle with Mr. and Mrs. Corn. Her hobby is riding, on the run-i niag board of her master's car. and even gets a "kick" out of rtd ing ap and down the elevator at the Hotel ' Calhoun, ; Where ; she ' is stopping. ! The old theory that a coyote doesn't wag it's tail is thoroughly exploded by "Babe". "Babe" was captured by Mr. Corn when she was, about a week old, in Southern Oregon. In town, ."Ba!be"'is held on a leash, bat around home, or In a park or field, she is unleashed and given an oportunity , to exercise She never shows a desire to run away. Before he unleashes . her. Com says, he must fee careful there ate no chicken yards 'near. "Babe", on several occasions, 'has reverted to the coyote practice of killing domestic fowl, mneh to her master's discomfiture. Corn, who operates a restaur ant at Salem, was for a number of years In - the catering business ' in Seattle. 1 Our expert opinion - is that the man who calls sweat perspiration doesn't know much about it. i ' - : - I The Strange Car of Grant Dimmick (Oregon City Enterprise) .

The Quaker City has created a great parkway that connects her outermost sections with the heart of; the munici pality, demolishing 2,000 structures that stood across the 'path of ber progress.- ( -j , , ; ... M Not content with" merely creating this parkway beginning ISO feet wide at the City Hall, then gradually expanding to 600 feet and extending more than a mile, Philadelphia has made provision for protecting it. 'No building may be erected within 200 feet of this parkway which does not conform to its character, no letter legible from it may be placed on any structure without the approval of the Park Commission, no roof sign may be erected. CARBON MONOXIDE a booklet . published by The of the Department In Bureau of Mines of the Interior entitled, "Vitiation of - Garage Air by Automobile Ex haust Gases' it Is stressed that auto mobile engines frequently , run in garages for (Considerable periods of time, and the exhaust gases unless removed by I proper ventilation may make the atmosphere of the garage unsafe. 'Running, an engine in a garage is - particularly hazardous in winter when the weather is too cold for keeping doors and windows open. In tests made by the authors, garage air , was rendered poisonous after an automobile engine had been rcnnlng 15 minutes. An automobile engine should not be run in a small garage unless the doors and windows are wide open. Copies of this booklet may be ob tained from the Government Printing Office in Washington for five cents. IRRITATING TO PEDESTRIANS -' ' 1 1 ! x - - After motor cars have I traveled East and West and the signal is given for cars to move North and South, pedestrians at P should be allowed to cross the street before Cars C are per mitted to torn to travel East. Per mitting cars to turn before pedes trians can cross is lrfitating and pedestrians have a just complaint. sible when touring in cold wea ther and it will be easier to ob serve the simple rules of cau tiou," it urges. j According to the A. A. A. a large percentage of wintertime ac cidents are preventable, warming devices being the preventive. - "These should include suitable clothing, particularly Warm glov es; says the bulletin. "Too many drivers are 'handicapped by numb fingers during 'their winter trips so that if they are called up on to re-crank the motor in an emergency,, dim the headlights or shift gears they are at a loss. "It la foolhardy to attempt to make great mileage without suffi cient stopovers for - hot drinks and food. It requires more energy to fight . the elements In winter, and drivers cannot afford to feel that because they " are stimulated by the snappy air they can endure more strenuous driving, "Keeping warm is the first rule of keeping safe In cold weather. Closed cars are . proving their value in this conection, but even here the motorist must take defi nite precaution against subjecting himself to unnecessary exposure, and thus to unnecessary hazards." BETTER WATCH YOURS The barrel shortage must be the same all over the country. Here's a letter the Nebraska Storage Battery Company, Wil lard dealers in Omaha, received from one of their dealers. Gentlemen: . Please ship us at once, one bar rel of distilled water. Every bar rel we get emptied Is grabbed up for a wine barrel.

We Will Tell You Now That You Do Not For while cna is to be found in one car, one or two in another, all aro to be had only in a Rickenbacker 'VerticJal-8uperfine1,, VERTICAL "8" MOTOR; Dual Igni- . tion System; Dual Carburetion f System Aeroplane Type; Fixed (non adjustable) jets; Dual Intake r Manifold; Dual Gasoline, Feed: 1 Dual Exhaust Manifold and Dual I Muffler; Dual-Reduction Starter; 1 Dual Fly Wheel (''Tandem") ; Fuel and Oil "Rectifier; Ball Bearing Steering with 13 to 1 ratio for easy steering with Balloon Tires; Double Depth ! Frame; Cradle Springs; Dual Car Lock doubly I, safe; Hartford Shock Absorbers front and rear; AdjustableAVrist ( pin Bearings; Steel Disc (Tuarc) ' 1 Wheels; 4-Wheel Brakes of ' the internal expanding purely me chanical type. I j SPACE FORBIDS even aTbrief de 1 script ion of the principles and functions of each of these eighteen features. j BUT IF your curiosity is aroused by I this ad, we hope for a chance to 1 prove to you that you cannot now afford to overlook any one of these features in your selection of a car. "VERTICAL 8" MOTORl-Observe, this is not a "Straight 8," an Eiht-In-Line,,r a "Twin Four" nor a "Double i Four,' and of course it isn't a ''V-Eight:" ITHIS IS IN EFFECT a "four" and a I split "four." In the other types, 1 they are arranged as two fours or . the entire eight in one plane. " "WHAT DIFFERENCE does v it make?" you ask.! Just the differ ence 'between a poorly balanced and a perfectly balanced, motor. NATURALLY, SOME RIVALS will try to argue that these features are not vital but remember they said that about 4-Wheel Brakes, a year ago. And now they are put ting them on! WELL MARK THIS! They will all have these "Dual" features as soon as they can get round to it for without them they cannot make a car that will measure up with this Rickenbacker. THE AMAZING DISCOVERY that "two are better than one," was made by Rickenbacker engineers and applied to this ar. BY USING 'DUAL," . Instead cf single carburetion and ignition, for example, we procure wonder- ful " performance, and simplify 'everything. . FIXED JETS in the Dual Carburetor no adjustment 'possible except for idling. ' AND THAT AIR C1XANERI why it is one of the 'greatest things ever invented. - Been proven ao, by, the U. S. Bureau of Standards, and other scientific bodies. THIS Rickenbacker Air Cleaner takes all solid particles out' of the air, thus greatly lengthening life of the motor. Your next car must have an air cleaner. NOW CONSIDER that other inven tionthe Fuel and Oil Rectifier which prevents crankcase dilution and makes possible such won derful economy of oil and gasoline. AND FI N ALLY 4-WHEEL BRAIIES But we need say no more on that subject it is now settled. It's unanimous. All cars must "have 4-Wheel Brakes to be afe in present day traffic , - SO NOW IT IS only a question of - what kind of 4-Wheel Brakes. YOU DONT WANT brakes that grab for those are the only kind that can "lock YOU DON'T WANT brakes thit interfere with your steering. SO YOU DO WANT internal expaiid ing brakes. These do not grsh-i-cannot lock and 'do 'not 'alTct Steering in the slightest. THAT'S BECAUSE these Rickstw backer brakes are built ' in--nit "tagged on." t DRIVE THIS CAR Tourself that ts the best test our best'salesmn.
