THE OREGON STATES2XAN, SALEM, OREGON SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 13, 1927 i ft DEATH GASOETS tansis Deadly Carbon Monoxide -Pours Out-and Kills in t Closed Garages (By Edwin Geer) - - "Motorist Foaud Dead in His Garase rnns a headline every so often In the winter newspapers. I hare no pity for. the man who has committed hraorant saicide In aurh manner. He knew that a running motor poors out carbon monoxide fames and the closed doors of his small garage because the cold outside air caused him a few moments Inconvenience as he toned op his motor. Qh. well, be isn't here any -more and the other fellow shonld take advan tage of his mistake and tone his motor in the open air. Or else. . The terrible thins; about carbon monoxide is that it may strike al most without warning. The -victim will fee a dizziness or head ache which he may ascribe to the . effects of leaning over the engine, or violent exercise. Following is the method advo cated by the United States bnrean of mines for cases of this sprt. Every motorist shonld paste it on the walls of his garage, if only to serve as a reminder of the danger of the motor's exhaust gas. With arms held straight, swing forward slowly, so that the weight of your f body is gradually brought to bear on the person. This opera tion, which shonld take abont two seconds, mast not be violent lest the internal organs be injured. The lower part of the cbest and also the. abdomen are thus com pressed, and the air is forced out, . of the lungs. Now, Immediately swing back slowly to remove the pressure but leaving the hands in place. Through their elasticity, the patient's chest walls expand and his lungs are thus supplied with air. After two seconds swing forward again, and repeat deliberately about 15 times a minute. Repeat until the doctor appears. Yell until someone appears whom yon can send for a doctor. Place the person on his abdomen; se that the tongue Is forward; turn his head to one side and rest It on his forearm so that the nose and month will not come In con tact with the ground. If the per son Is thin prepare a pad of fold ed clothing or blankets and place it under the lower part of the chest. Do no make this pad too thick. Io not wait to remove the TieUm'i elothinr. but begin arti ficial respiration without delay. Kneel, straddling the person's thighs, and facing his head. Place the palm of your hands over the short ribs with your thumbs para llel with, the spine, about two Inches apart, and your fingers spread 'out as much as possible, the ends of the little fingers reaching last below the last rib.

Confidence In 1926 is reflected by Jewett's closing comment on the product and the prospects of , the company.- "Tour company now has on the market the' finest and most com plete line of automobiles that it has erer offered i says JewetL There are twenty models on four chassis.. sixes and eights, giving the distributing organisation com plete market coverage in the field above a thousand dolars. Ton will be glad to know that the new and complete line, has been very well received at all the automobile shows, and , without exception our dealers have taken more orders at these showings than they have Ult ra in preceding years. "In particular the new Paige eight with two high speeds, a fea ture made possible by the new Hi Flex four speed transmission de veloped after extensive engineer ing.

This feature, exclusive in Paige eights, has demonstrated Its marked su periority in performance and econ omy. , Present sales already fore east " excellent business on ? this model on which production is Just start lug. - "By using existing dies tad tools, it has been possible to get the new eight into early produc tion with a negligible Increase in investment, and substantial . la- m crease in our sales and profit pos sibilities. - f .v- m, i: "We have excellent representa tion la all foreign markets, and our export business is showing a marked increase. ; "The total attendance at auto mobile shows set new high records indicating great public Interest and the probability of excellent sales In 127. We are confident that with our new and Improved line we will secure a very satisfactory volume of business. WILLYS MJIGHT HAS REFLEX SHACKLES Beiflex Spring Equipment Now Installed on AH Line of Motors Installation... of the Beiflex spring shackles by Willys-Overland on the entire line of Willys Knight motor ears produced by that company, marks a progress ive step In automotive engineer ings The Bel Hex shackle consists in Its essential of two rubberized, resilient fabric strips securely clamped between the frame and spring entirely eliminating the metal shackle, absorbing road shocks and reducing the wear on all parts of the car. The rear end of the spring sus pends the frame on a tension shackle permitting alternate lengthening and shortening of the spring as the load is imposed or removed, while the front end rests on a pivot shackle of the same ma terial embodying the sameprinci ple and permitting a gentle rock ing as the spring flexes. This action, engineers declare provides a smoth rid In e: aaalitv at all speeds regardless of the condition of the highway. Twelve lubricating points are eliminated from the chassis through the use of the Beiflex system at the same time doing away with the necessity of adjust ments to take up wear and tear from sprung bolts and bushings. This system, it is claimed will out wear any of the metallic wearing parts of the chassis. In general, according to Willys- Overland ractory officials, the Beiflex system insulates the sprung parts of the car from the unsprung parts noiselessly and freely. They declare this device is one of the most efficient sys tems yet induced in the automtive Industry, and actually saves money, not only because of saving in periodic renewal of bolts and bushings but by eliminating labor and material involved In the actu al lubrication at frequent inter vals of the metal parts which are done away with through use of the Beiflex system.

Woolejr Fa - C"3Vn E3T, DUY CIJ - po;jtiac SIX USED oii lie jouiey Man Gives High Praise to Car After Covering 1 1,500 Miles in Trip SAX FRANCISCO. (Special) In recounting an 1 1,500-mile trip throughout the country, George A. Denison gave words of highest praLe to his Pontiac Six -onpe. Ienison is a Los Angeles busi ness man who is well acquainted with A. D. McMeans, district manager of the Oakland Motor Car company, with headquarters here. According to McMeans. Denison averaged more than 22 miles to a gallon of gasoline. ' used oil only when draining and refilling his crank case and still has much good rubber on his set of tires. The motorist recently visited San Francisco on the trip Just completed and while here spent some time with McMeans explain ing to the factory executive here just what he intended to do. It was then that Denison promised to write him telling him about all his ( Denison s) experiences as well as a comprehensive report of the per formance of the Pontiac coupe. From San Francisco he drove to Portland, thence to Boise. Pocatel lo and down to Ogden. After this he made a 200-mile drive over rough roads in Wyoming. "From this point I went to Den ver." Denison wrote to McMeans. "But thus was not my farthest point east by any means, for frora the Colorado capital I headed for Chicago. Buffalo and down to New York City. Returning via Buffalo I was caught in the worst early snow storm and blizzard that the section had seen for years. residents told me. "But I came on through to St. Louis. Kansas City. Dallas and Fort Worth. Then I headed home through El Paso. -Yuma and the Imperial valley. "I feel that my Pontiac deserves unlimited credit. I have owned 11 cars, and when I made Los Angeles with this coupe, after a trip through the East when weather conditions were against me. I decided that I had never had such service before. I did not have to spend one cent for mech anical repairs or lose 10 minutes on account of the car," Denison concluded in his letter. BIG YEAR LOOMS FOR AUTO RACING (Cantiened from page 1.) and another famous firm, not in Detroit, is building two more with equal secrecy. "A committee of six has been kkso talMan SfifeMt SMOOTH AS A a r 1 1 a FOURS n SIXES AUTOMOBILE CO. C. J. Taylor appointed by Thomas P. Little, Jr.. president of the Society of Automotive Engineers, who is also j a member of the contest board.! to work with the board in record ing every detail of every race that may have a bearing on the labor-I atory phases of future car build ing. The possibilities are unlim ited and the tremendous wealth of information which will be ammased should give the future stock car improvements that quite conceivably could be revolution ary. "The board is negotiating for an agreement with the Automo bile Chamber of Commerce, the Manufacturers and Accessory Trades association and the rubber association, whereby they will not advertise performacces of their products, so far as stamina, time, economy and distance are con cerned, unless the tests are carried out under the board's supervision. The board hopes to make this agreement a guarantee to motor ists that the claims made by ad vertisers will be bona fide. Such an assurance, backed by the auto mobile association's million mem bers, would give motordom a sense of security in advertising claims heretofore unequalled. The contest board will regulate three times more dirt track races this year than in the last three years, giving special attention to safety measures. Prominent among the dirt track races will be those at Overland Park. Denver, and at the Michigan and New York state fairs, at Detroit and Syracuse. "We hope 'Captain Ricken baeker said, "to maintain the high standard of safety set In 1926 when for the second successive year not a single driver was killed during a speedway event regulat ed by the board. It appears prob able that a remarkable impetus will be giren dirt track racing, while the supervised board speed ways are preparing for one of their biggest years. "Preliminary figures indicate that the board will supervise about 12 speedway events and 150 dirt track tournaments. The speedway mileage will be about 3000. the dirt track total about 8000. and $350,000 in prizes will be distributed under the board's supervision at board track affairs, while $250,000 will be awarded on the dirt tracks. .All in all. auto racing has never had bright er prospects for any season."

In the issue of The Sunday Magazine for January 21. 1906, the back page was devoted to IB announcement by Oidsmobile. Coupons were attached, one cal ling for a catalog and another promising an art calender for 1906 suitable for framing if 10 cents were enclosed with the coupon. 1 Last week the announcement with the two coupons filled out by Mrer F.

The dime which accompanied the coupons was minted in 1525, just 19 years after the advertisement had been printed. The advertisement is of more than passing interest, showing as it does the great advancement made in automobiles in barely more than a score of years.
