To date more than 465 official
adjusting stations have been au
thorized throughout the .-.state and
more than 1270 mechanics have
been examined as to their profi
ciency and knowledge of the law
a&d have been licensed as adjust
ers. Additional adjusting stations

applications are received and con
ditions of the law complied with,
and other adjusters are being li

station reported that substantial
ly 6o,000 cars had been adjusted
up .o October 1, 1925. which is
about one-third of the licensed
cars in the state.' These figures
indUatc a general inclination on
the part of motor vehicle owners
to conform to the law.
Consensu of- opinion among
motoriscs who have 'had their
head -lamps adjusted in conform
ity to th law, reflect general sat
isfaction with the results. The
Oregon law is substantially the
same sa exists with the most of
the states wherein effort is made
to regulate head-lamps and control
devices on motor vehicles. Cal
ifornia has had a similar law. in

Oregon motorists1 who have travel

ditions are enthusiastic advocates
of . bead-light regulation such as
contccnplated under the Oregon

Local Tire Man Explains Dif
ference Between Cheap
and Economical
If a car owner buys his tires
on the basis of long mileage serv
ice and freedom from trouble
he is practicing real economy, ac
cording to Walter Rydell, local
manager of the Western Auto
Supply company. ,
"There is a great deal of dif
ference between" a cheap tire and
an economical one," says Mr. Ry
dell, "for in the long run, the
cheap tire will prove to be mure
expensive than the tire bought at
a standard price from a reliable
company. True economy lies In
getting the most miles out of the
tire for the dollar spent. That Is
why we say that when a motorist
selects either a Wear Well or a
Western Giant cord, he is prac
ticing real economy."
"These tire3 are specially made
to meet western requirements and
have been developed in order to
secure a tire that will give high
road mileage over roads and bou
levards of the west. When It Is
considered that in the western
states, the motorist finds not only
paved roads but sandy an rocky
ones as well, it is evident that in
order to give good service, quality
must be built into the carcass of
a ttre."
"That is one of the reason's
why our tire business is so good.
Motorists have discovered that
we have a tire that is specially
built for the west and designed
to give maximum service under
the most trying conditions. All
of our own specifications. They
are built by several of the leading
tire manufacturers in the United
