The following is taken from
bulletin of the tleneral Tire

Tan Kah kee is a wise Chinee.
Though his name sounds a little
like comic opera or a middle
western town with an Indian
name, he is a real personage, quite
universally known in the Far
East, where hln wisdom has been
applied to a great many business
deals in Oriental lands, with the
result that he has accumulated a
vast fortune, in fact it is safe to
tleclare that Tan Kah kee is quite
the mostimportant Chinese mer

is'-rubber! Ceylon, be it known,
is a'-RritEsh Crown colony. It is
one of the crude rubber produc

enson Act, restricting the ship
ping and affecting the price of

er countries are concerned.
Tan"Kah kee "a few years ago

T CAMP TODAY
GREAT INSTITUTION
Your Own Boss to Come and
Go or Stay as Long as
You May Please
Autocamping today is not an
experimentation. It is a voca
tional institution that is here to
staj There is no other recrea
tion that offers the same amount
of enjoyment, relaxation and com
plete independence as does auto
camping.
Yon own your own equipment,
yon are your own boss to com
and go as you please and stay as
long as yon like. You go to bed
when you please, get up when you
please eat at your leisure and
travel as the spirit moves you.
The success of the trip depends
entirely upon you. Every trip
brings out something new and ex
perience teaches us to disregard
the non-essentials that take up
valuable room' in the car and to
carry only the items necessary to
make the trip enjoyable, in ad
dition to thr complete independ
ence a camping outfit offers, it is
aii economical means of enjoying
the country. Good equipment Vvili

for itself in money saved on hotel
and restaurant bills in a short
time.
Loading the car with a tent,
cook stove and spring beds did not
present a very pleasant picture n
few years ago and but a few went
camping. Modern camping equip
ment has so changed the picture
that not to go camping, today is
more of a novelty than to do. The

"The economical life of the av
erage citizen is so controlled by
the use of the motor car that the
construction of the best of roads
is a necessity rather than a lux
ury. "The development of the auto
mobile on the highway has annih
ilated distance and has made
neighbors of communities which
were formerly many- miles apart.
Distance is no longer measured in
miles, rather in minutes, and a
community which was formerly
ten miles distant is now only
twenty minutes Jrom its neighlmr.
This has built up a better under

between various towns and dis
tricts and lias worked to the bene
fit of the country as a whole."
The above quotation is from an
address delivered by Joseph K.
Dunne, president of the Oregon
State Motor association, on the oc
casion of the breaking of the
ground for the new building at the
Multnomah county fair grounds.
Mr. Dunne continued, drawing
attention to the fact that the mo
tor car had changed entirely the
disposition habits or the nation
and that the recreational facili
ties of the country were made
available by the motor club in no
other way. Mr, Dunne also stated
that the motor car was the 'great,
est single influence in the devel
opment of the northwest country
as a recreational center.

A score of people si mid about
on the curb to watch the hi- ,ar

the end of two tdocks and then go
into high fourth speed.
Naturally it was a Paige Fight,

At the wheel was Dick Marmon.
veteran, race-track driver, and
with him was .lack Vanhonten.
mechanic. Poth were determined
to establish a new speed record
between the oil capital and the
state capital.
They did!
In spite of hefng delayed five
minutes by a rnr stalled n a
bridge between Sand Springs anrf
Keystone and losing speed on a
20-mile stretch of mud between
Perkins and Coyle. they checked
into the Western Fnion at Tulsa
at exactly 7:20 a. m., having com
pleted the 141.5 miles in 140 min
utes. The average was fi0 8 miles
per hour. '
Four hours is considered very
good time for the trip because of
the many turns and the loose
graveled roads. Marmon also had
the mud to contend with.
Withal, he and the Paige es
tablished a new record. Marmon's
maximum speed was 82 miles an
hour. With better road conditions
he said that undoubtedly the same
car Would cover the distance in 2
hours flat and would reach a
miximum speed of miles an
hour.
According to W. J. Thompson,
Paige distributor in Tulsa, the
previous record for the run was 3
hours, 10 minutes.
"If any better time ever was
made it was not publicly announc
ed," he said.
Marmon. upon returning here,
again broke the- old record. He
said the Paige was perfectly cool
at the'conelnsion of both runs and
that it could have continued al
most any distance at the same
rate of sped.
are a sreat many car
who delicti! in luiittin;'
their Sunday mornings in touch
ing up the car from one end to
th other in order to keep ir in
the best possible condition. Taese
men are rewarded by cars which
run season after season without
trouble and with very small re-
Tfeair bulls. The reason for this is
that troubles which would have
appeared have been nipped in the
bud by careful attention and those
which would have been developed
from carelessness and lack of lu
brication never get a chance to
start.
It is not difficult, for a motorist
even though he be unskilled in the
use of tools, to grind in his own
valves. The exact method of pro
cedute varies with the different
engines in as far as reaching the
valves and putting them in condi
tion to grind is concerned; but
once the proper steps are taken to
reach the valve seat the process is
about the same.
Another important ptep to take
in the conditioning of the car is
to clean out the gasoline line. In
the commercial gasoline bought
from the average curb pumping
station there is always a certain
amount of sediment and dirt. If
your car has a strainer in the gas
oline line this strainer should be
taken out and cleaned, also the
contents of the float bowl should
be removed and all parts of the
gasoline lifle from the tank to the
carburetor put jn thoroughly clean
condition in order that there will
be no obstructions.
A point which is neglected very
frequently is to put a drop or two
of oil at the proper points in the
generator and parting motor, also
in the ignit ioystem.
The brakes sh"Tuld be adjusted,
ir necessary, and if the adjust
ments have been carried as far as
they can be carried it is advisable
to have the brakes relined.
I'nless the owner is too digni
fied, or perhaps too stout, he
should sacrifice his pride for the
time being and get beneath his
car and remove the dirt from the
working parts, particularly around
the universal joints and the trans
mission. This dirt accumulates
and is by no means beneficial to
the car, but quite the contrary.
The cleaner the car the better run
ning it will be and the longer it
will last.
