"Throughout Europe generally
the outlook for,' the automobile
industry is bright, and Chrysler
i bnslness ls'partieularly gratifying.
Ever since the, '70 was presented
as the company's first offering in
the European field. Cbrvsler cars
have made, a profound impression
on the" motor "buying public. On
the continent, as in' England, our
1927 business - registering. an
even - accelerated I" growth. The
Chrysler winged radiator cap is al
most as familiar a sight ia Paris
as it fa In Detroit I
Ia England, .where the Chrys

from the time it wAa introduced,
sales are more than twice as large
as .they were last year, and are
the best we have had since we en

He is especially enthusiastic
over his visit to South America
where he went direct from Eu

"South America ranks among
the most: Important foreign' mar

Here is a picture that will surprise you. Some. one said Colon el Charles A. Lindbergh was bashful when he was tn Paris, London,
Vshlngton and New York but in California he is evidently at ease. This photo was made Just before "The Spirit of St. Louis" t.tarted
across the continent on its epoch making flight.
Here is another surprise, too. Just as "Everybody's Boy" was a pioneer, so are :he tires on his car. Seiberling, who made the
tires, was the pioneer in the rubber Industry several years before "Llndy". was born. .

marbles, tacks and numerous oth
er things,; pale sadly, in compari
son with, the variety of destruc
tive articles'" that are picked up by
automobile tires, during the
course ot ordinary usage.
Motorists credulity is taxed to
the limit of imagination, until the
many varied things that stick into
an automobile tire are spread out
before them.
In one of the garages of a large
bus operating company, in a met
ropolitan city, tire service men
have accumulated a total of more
than 5000 pieces of" destructive
material, from all makes of tires.
These objects range frbni a piece
of automobile spring, nine inches
long, to the smallest tacks.
At the end of each day, the bus
tires are carefully examined by
tire experts, and the foreign ar
tides taken from them. Each
day, everything that was found in
the tires, that did not belong
there , was saved. In less than
six months the accumulation was
multiplied into thousands and
weighed several pounds.
Constant pressure, according to
Miller tire experts causes these
imbedded objects to penetrate to
the fabric with destructive results.
Quite often casual examination
will not disclose the objects. More
careful and painstaking examina
tions are required.
In the accumulation, picked up
by the heavy buses were several
marbles, with flat surfaces on
f
them. Many tacks were found,
with the heads worn from them.
. A large three-cornered piece
of brick," almost concealed In the
tire, was taken from a large bus
tire after it had penetrated the
fabric.

aminations of tires, and the plug

however, . also has ' ' increased' the
necessity of a' well linked highway
system, connecting Important cen
ters and fed by the smaller mar
ket roads .radiating! from local cen
ters into' surrounding rural ierri-
tory. It is this.phase of highway
development which, in the light of
the conference board's studv. htiS
caused. marked -changes 'In the
control and;- financing of road
building and maintenance, shifting
the burden gradually from the Io
cal"gbverhmen'ts "to the stale and.
to an extent -even to the -federal
government.' While In '1904, theserve
conference board finds, more than
96 per cent or nearly all of . the
current highway revenue, which
then amounted to only $75,965,
995, was raised by local govern
ments, who also floated all of the
highway bonds issued at that
time, the state governments in
1925 had become so active in the
field of highway building and
maintenance that they raised more
than 37 per cent of all highway
revenue, while the local govern
ments raised only little over half
of the total. The federal govern
ment meanwhile had interested it
self to the extent of contributing
about 10 per cent-of the total.
Nearly half, or 49.5 per cent of all
highway bonds floated in 1925
were issued by state governments.
While the figures cited summar
ize the development ot roadbulld
ing in the United States as a
whole, wide variations in the de
velopment In different states and
sections of the country are reveal
ed by the board's report. The
vast change in transportation
methods and road utilization caus
ed by long distance automobile
traffic is again strikingly reflect
ed in the great stimulus given to
highway construction in the more
sparsely settled mountain and
western states during the past few
years. while the more densely
populated eastern states, already
well supplied with roads, have
concentrated more on improving
existing roads, even abandoning
many older roads made obsolete
by the more systematically linked
modern highway system demanded
in this age ot the automobile. .
Strong Tie Exists Between
Dodge. Brothers, Inc., and
.-- Sales Folk'
Introduction of the new senior
line of "sixes" has brought out
new evidence of the strong" tie
existing between Dodge Brothers,
.Inc., and its dealers. An adver
tisement publiced by the Taciitc
coast dealers in western newspa
pers congratulated thi factory on
the new cars and commended its
policies.
"Time has Jn no wise changed
the original feeling of Dodge
Brothers dealers towards Dodge
Brothers, Inc., nor la any matter
altered that origiilal cornerstone
In Dodge Brothers policy, of nev
4 er doing anything inimical to the
- . X. . . .... .3 . , 1 Vb
public which they serve." the ad
vertisement said. ' . .- ' ?
It continued: "When Dodge
Brothers changed from private: to
public ownership there were those
who expected many of the tradi
tions of Dodge Brothers to-be cast
aside even 'started rumors that
the Dodge Brothers ideals ot re
liability and dependability would
no longer be adhered to.' It is
with much gratification that we
dealers look back over the period
of present management. if f

17,000 People Visit Ore
gon's National Park in rirst
I wo Weeks
The daily travel Into Crater
Lake National Park is running
heavier than any preceding year.
Due to extraordinary snow con
ditions the road to th lake was
not cleared until the evening -of
July 2nd, five weeks later than
last year, but today with the park
open only two weeks nearly 17,-
000 neonle have already visited
Oregoff world-famed scenic won
der. This travel has represented
nearly every state in the Union
and five foreign countries. Cillf
ornia is farcin the lead to date,
with Oregon a poor second. The
proportion of Oregon cars is con
siderably smaller than in any pre
ceding year, strongly emphasizing
the fact that Crater Lake is truly
national park and not in any
sense a, local resort.
Conditions in the park are ideal
for outdoor life. Day after day
the weather is crisp and invigorat
ing, with the atmosphere entirely
free from forest fire haze so thati
the magnificant panorama of the !
tumbled Cascade range is visible
for a distance of 150 miles.
The big lodge is in full swing
for the sumiher, the . launch and
boat service in constant operation,
the spectacular trail down the
crater wall to the lake edge in ex
cellent condition.
The big Government Rim camp-;
ground is in operation with all
modern sanitation, hot and cold
shower baths, and as an un
usual feature campers are pro
vided unlimited cold storage for
milk and provisions in the big
snow drifts that still persist here
and there in the campgrounds.
The Klamath ahd Medford en
trance 'roads are in beautiful con
dition and the last five miles from
Anna Spring to the lake is , full
travel width and well maintained.
The east road from the Dalles
California highway Is now, open
and a total of twentymiles of the
thirty Jour mile Rim Koad is-in
use. The heavy task of clearing
the remainder of the rim road will
be begun on July 22nd and will
be completed as soon as available
fund permit; -t, .- v I
The fact is not generally- under

upon , the vast .resources - of , the

Squeaking Caused by Un
,even Friction on Lining;
Velvets Avoid This ; :j
' Brakes are the most Important
safety " factor of your automobile.
If they, fail to function "propertly
during a critical moment, disaster
is probable. , " ;
- The majority of brake squeak
ing and groaning Is caused by the
brake lining creating more fric
tion at some points than at others.
, As the brakes are applied the
first friction is at the lips of the
lining as the lining starts to wrap
the brake drum. The brake band
resists this, friction and buckles,
thus forcing the tips to endeavor
to dig Into the drum, starting a
vibration which produces squeak-
in: and groaning, and causing
undue wear of te lining at the
tips. Squeaks are the result of
high - pitched vibrations; groans'
are from low pitched vibrations.
J In 95 per cent of the cases.
when the faction of the lining Is
evenlv distributed over the sur
face of the brake drum, squeaking
and groaning of brakes Is silenc
ed because the lining, wrapping
evenly around the drum, cushions
ft and at the same time prevents
undue wear at an one point of
the lining.
, Velvet brake cushions are at
tached to the brake band and do
not permit the tips of the lining
to dig Into the drum,, but Instead
rorce them to, slide over the drum,
thus permitting the lining to even
ly wrap the drum and cushion the
vibration which, causes - noise.
Excessive wear at the tips of the
lining Is entirely eliminated,
thereby doubling the life of the
lining. . . . -
. Velvet brake cushions are man
ufactured of an v alloyed cushion
metal, a metal that Is especially
compounded for the purpose In
tended. Cushion metal Is the ultimate
result of years of experimental
work, and unlike other medals,
will not cut or harm the brake
drum. v Its consistency is such as
to permit it to serve as a cleaner
and polisher of the brake drum as
tne drum rotates aeainst it. Velvet
brake cushions are harder than
the lining, but softer than tb
drum, and wear down' with the
lining.
Velvet brake cushion metal Is
similar In appearance to some of
tlis common metals; therefore, be
fore having them attached to the
Drake bands Insist on seeing the
veilow and red t - box bearing
our trade-mark and " containing
tne genuine brake cushion with
1 tne red ends.
These velvet brake cushions can
oe quickly Installed at any ga
rage or automobile repalr shop
and produce a sort, velvety brake
action providing brake leverages
are correct. They a!o save wear
on your tires by eliminating grab
ning and skidding of tires on the
pavement- " ...
