Newspaper Page TextTHE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM," OREGON SUNDAY MORNING,-OCTOBER 25, 1925 L SPEED MARK S BROKER OIU WATER Average of 50.78 Miles an Hour Is Made for 24 Hours Duration 'The feat of Commodore Harry i. tireening, 01 Hamilton, unt., m averaging 50.78 miles an hour for 24 hours with his mofbr boat. Rainbow IV, October 3, breaking all world's speed records on the water, is one that would have been impossible three years ago,' says M. C. Dewitt, yice-president of the IChampion Spark Plug company, f whose spark plugs were used to make the previous and the new records. - "I.tnprovements in design and materials, including the use of sillimanite in our product, made this new record possible. "Nearly three hours before the end of the 24-hour run, on Lake' Rosseau, one of the Muskoka group, north of Toronto, Com modore Greening's little boat had surpassed the previous record of 10C4 miles," made by Rainbow III. This time, due to the smooth ness and power shows by hia en gine and spark plugs, he exceeded taUpwn optimistic estimate by more than Ztf miles, corering 1218.879 miles. The run was convincing to any one who doubts the- stu-diness of a motor speed boat and the ability of engine and spark plugs to with stand such gruelling punishment as was inflicted upon them,' con tinued Mr. Dewitt. "With an aver age of 50.7S miles an hour. Com modore Greening's Liberty 12 cyl inder engine is estimated to have turned - over IS 40 revolutions a minute. Iess than three gallons of oil were consumed. The boat's J r ul 1 Irm REDUCES P RICE The price on the Philco Battery for light cars, such as Fords, Chevrolets, Stars, etc., has been reduced $4.35.

American city was fclren to Los Angeles, ;., iy it- troTHe comminsion, of which Paul G. Hoffman was president and Dr. Miller McCliniock was expert. When Mr. Hoffman went to South Bend, Ind., as vice president ot the Studebaker Corporation of merica. he interested A. R. Ers kine, president of that corporation, in the problem of relieving traffic congestion and lessening automo bile fatalities. Mr. Erskine sent for Dr. McCIintock and went over he expert's researches. As a result, the University of California has announced the crea tion of the Albert Russel Erskine bureau for Street Traffic Research established through a grant of the Studebaker corporation. In offering to the univprslty this bureau, Mr. Hoffman wrote: "The Studebaker Corporation of America, realizing the pressing character of the sir ret traffic prob lem and the need for collection of scientific information on the sub ject, desires to offer funds for the creation of a researen bureau and graduate fellowships in the Uni versity of California." Mr. Erskine commented on the offer. "Much of the failure of Ameri can cities to deal effectively with street traffic may be attributed to lack of technical information. Traffic is an engineering problem. It can be controlled satisfactorily only by sound engineering meth ods. "With this principle in mind, we have offered to cooperate with a great university, to make a con structive contribution to a problem vitally affecting the utility and safety of automotive transporta tion." The bureau will be in charge of Dr. McCIintock, who formerly was connected with the government re search bureau in Harvard univer sity, and who is known widely as a traffic engineer. He is author of "Street Traffic Control" and "The Los Angeles Traffic Code. Located in the southern branch of the University of California, at Los Angeles, the bureau will limit its study to urban traffic difficil ties and their correction. Pedes trian control, conflicts between street cars and motor cars, park ing methods, speed, street design, g.ade separation, signalling 'de vices, uniform regulations and al lied subjects will be studied. Its reports will be available for all American cities. The two fellowships created will pay $1,000 a yecr each to graduate engineering students of the uni versity, to encourage traffic con trol s an engineering profession and to develop intensive research. 1.

FALLS CITY NEWS THE PAST WEEK (Continued rrom page 4) lies will remain in Falls City to keep their children in bchool here. Xew Sidewalks? Last week there was published in The Enterprise a letter from the office of Oscar Hayter giving an opinion as to the legal proceed ings necessary to enforce sidewalk done at the request of the Falls City Commercial club, for the in formation of the public, so they r. ay take whatever action, they desire toward enforcing the repair of sidewalks, or repairing or building, npon their own property, without compelling action on the part of the city. There is much said about the poor walks. GetH ting them fixfcd is an expensive p:opositton. Of course the city can do these' things, but at the expense of several months' time and the expenditure of consider tble public money, and. possibly, at the end. placing the entire bur den upon the city where the o n- (rs ftf property not very valuable let it ro and force the city to ac quire title in the end. This is absolutely, up to the taxpayers. If they demand action of this nature the city can act. If so, will the taxpayers be satisfied with this use of their taxes? "They," when ve use the word in the sense it i generally ustd in referring to thete things means "us" instead. for whatever "they" do with pub- He funds is paid for by each one t ot us just in proportion as we py taxes. The next city election is I not far off. Do the people want a referendum on this and express themselves at the polls? That is wheie an expression enn be count el1, not in street corner talk.

These were th words of Capt. W. S. Gilbreath. grand marshal, as h alighted from his Chrysler six pi lot car in. Jacksonville, Fla., after a 10-day drive from Sauite Ste. Marie. "Judging from the enthusiastic receptions extended us all the way from the Soo," continued Captain Gilbreath. "this tour has awaken ed undying interest in the Dixie highway, the first improved. through motor route from the north to the south." A fine tribute was also paid to the Chrysler six roadster. "To quote Captain Gilbreath, "The car performed wonderfully. As leader of the caravan it set the pace and none passed it. It was the center of attraction every where, and elicited thousands of Inquiries. I could not ask for bet ter performance from any car. The trip was a constant grind but driv ing was. a delight." In Chattanooga, the national headquarters of the Dixie Highway association the motorcade was wel comed by 10.000 people and es corted into the city by city offi cials, the fire and police depart I ments and a detachment of "U. S. cavalry. In the evening a mam moth banquet was held in honor of the event. Similar cele&rations were held in Rome, Atlanta and Macon.
