: tion of KirkwoocL Motor
; Company
The Used Car Corner "will toe
open for business in their new lo
cation, 246 State, street, in the
rooms formerly occupied by the
iKrkwood 1 Motor company, . Mon
day. The display room at this new
location will be more centrally lo-
cated and more convenient than
the - one formerly, occupied. The
company is advertising their new
location as one half block west of
the Ladd & Bash bank. This will
assist those not familiar with the
street numbers ' to --locate' jthein
more readily. ? r
-- The Used Car Corner has been
established here for over two
years during that time they-have
established, themselves as dealers
in nearly new Fords, buying their
cars wherever, the, nxarke is low
est, shipping them to Salem and
selling them with the same guar
ontee as. new cars at very, attrac-
tire prices'! They bave had on
t,heir, floor new Fords wh.ich they
have, offered at a discount. - It is
toeliev.ed that, this is the onljr
llace that a new Ford Jias ever
; been, offered at a discount.
Vera Anderson, -proprietor of
the Used Car Corner, says that if
you can scU your -next door neigh
bor you ! must deliver the goods.
The fact that we' have sold 32
cars within the radius of one block
and four to one family, is certain
ly evidence of our values and ser
vice." . .r:i,-- . '
"The majority of onr sales w
have; made through the satisfied
customer bringing In their friends.
We have " several customers who
have bought, several cars from us.
mey have bought a low priced
car at first, coming back later to
get one a little bit better and then
again later to get a still better
one. We -believe that our biggest
assest is our many, satisfied cus
tomers, added Mr.' Anderson.
The nights are getting warmer.

so many drinks of water.
CLAIM THAT RADIO IS
. HARMFUL DISPUTED
The recent reported declaration
of Dr. Harris, Ifjad, of the Brook
lyn State "hospital for the insane,
that radio contains little of value
and possibility much of harm to
mentally sick patients is not sup
ported by the opinions of other
physicians who come, in daily con
tact with this class of. people, Ac
cording to a j statement made
public today by Alfred M. Caddell.
secretary of : the ! Anterican Radio
association! Each of the several
physicians interviewed stated that
"there was no fundamental data
upon which such a declaration
could be based.' 1 ; :
Yet those who most loudly de
mand respect 'for law demand it

Blinding, swirling sand storms;
broken, little-traversed desert
roads" and sharp Inclines of
seemingly Impassible hills -were
not enough to prevent - establish
ment of a new cross-coutnry auto
mobile road record between El
Paso and Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Sealed in high gear, a Studeba-
ker Standard Six duplex phaeton
has just cut an hour and 21' min
utes off the former record, estab
lished less than a year ago by a
Dodge. Its 10 hours, 35 minutes
is a mark that bids fair to stand
for some time.
The distance is 362 miles. But
there is scarce ten miles of road
way that may. be "called paved
Broken stretches of rough, desert
higway lie between these cities
and Labajarda Hill, on the road;
has been for years considered tra
versable only in low gear.
Daniel Vaughn, field represent
ative of Southwestern Motors, Inc.,
of El Paso, made the drive. He
caused the gears to be sealed in
high gear by representatives of the
El Paso Herald. It rolled away
at 5:04 a.' m., headed up a road
never before traversed In hlgh
gear by any automobile. . I
- At 3:39 that' same afternon, the
car pulled up before the Western
Union; office in Santa Fe. The
seal on the gearshift Was still an
broken. In : the interval the car
had made spurts at 60 miles an
hour over the desert, which? in
this Instance means not only Bhift
Lag sand, but hummocks,1 rocks
and brush-grown raw land. '
Other record runs, the time of
which - has not been approached
by any other car, have been hung
up by the Studebaker, including.
El Paso to Los Angeles and partic
ularly El Paso to Phoenix and over
Organ Pass In high gear, the ojuy
time this feat has been accomplished.'-"'
v' f ' ', '
On this newest record run, anx
iety was felt about the ability to
conquer Labajara Hill, to climb
which a 1 few" years ago on " any
gear .was considered a " feat. ' No
car ever had made it in high gear.
But Mr. Vaughn reports "that it
was accomplished" with, none of the
difficulties 4 he" expected. '
Critical examination ot the car
at Santa Fe betrayed.no signs of
any strain or necessity, for atten
tion. No mechanical attention waa
given it enroute.' r ' '-"
"The difficulties we encounter
ed, and the manner In which this
car overcame them, define it as
the greatest' performing" automo
bile I have ever driven,. 'said-Mr.
Vaughn ""'as he Bet off to get out
of his clothing and hair the sand
which had been pelted Into him
