NEW MODEL DRAWS UNUSUAL INTEREST (Continued from page 1) changes in design. The "All Am erican" Six is a new model that is really new throughout, chassis and body alike. t is a car that represents the very latest in mod ern automotive engineering. The man chiefly responsible for its design is B. H. Anibal, head of the Oakland engineering department, and one of the best known desipn ers in the industry. "Such features as the new fuel pump which replaces the vacuum tank, show the original engineer ing that went into the new Oak land. The performance of the new motor reflects the generous power that has been built into it through long and careful research. "The fact that Oakland has been able to reduce its prices, in spite of the fact that the new cars are larger, more finely finished and more luxurious in every way has been a source of comment from practically every visitor who has come into our show rooms." Ize If fully TJr not. the mam lactor n developing this new business lor the west, is the motor club; and kh western units participating in this Portland Conference are me service institutions to which the motor caravans of the present and h future will look: to make motor touring in the west pleasurable Lnd Drofitable."

VACATION PURPOSE NOT WORRY, ADVICE Many Tourists Continue to Lug Worries Along, Says Auto School Head MOTORS INC SALEM, OREGON : H., C. GRAVES Woodbnrn, Ore. Ater eleven months of work and worry comes the auto tour jvhich 1 to put us back on our physical and mental hoofs as good as new. It should do it because there is nothing else, under the sun. that gives a person such a complete change. The lair, water, sky, scen ery, people and food all are different. Any change so radical must have an immediate effect. However, if the tourist contin ues to lug along his worries, a large part of the benefit of touring is nullified. Worry is harder to stop than work. Some people worry naturally. They worry if they find themselves not worrying up to their usual standard. Such people should take extra precau tions to eliminate causes of worry. The most common worries that keep a tourist's face as long as a pump handle relate to his home property. Will the house burn down? Will burglars work it over? Will the water pipes break or the gas get loose? Did I lave the phonograph wound up ! too tight? Did I leave the garbage in the kitchen? Of course, by leaving the wife at home such worries could be eliminated, but the worry of won dering what she might be doing would counterbalance it. There is only one line of action take: Fully insure the house, garage and furniture and see that Vacancy Permits are attached to all' fire policies. Cut the water .Off at the house-sill, shut the gas off at the meter, open the main switch of the electric current cir cuit. Put all valuable papers in a lockbox in a "bank vault. Bulkier valuable objects should be boxed and left with a bank for general storage. Pay up all current bills, stop the daily papers, mow the, lawn and hide the lawnmower un der the house. ' Having done these things leap into fhe car and hie away.
