Loggers & Contractors Machinery Company SALEM PORTLAND EVGKXK The external finish of pyroxy lin lacquer and the manner in ! which it is applied are further ex amples of the superior workman ship that is going into the pro duction of this latest of Henry Ford's products. Vfhti the new Ford body enters the paint department it is first treated to a bath in special, spirits until all traces of oil or grease are resaoved. It is then dried with clean towels and carefully buffed to smooth out all burrs or marks that may ftave been made in the process of assembling the body. CreTicea or other places inaccessi ble to a towel are blown clean with compressed air. ' Next comes another wash which not only cleans the body again, but also neutralizes any acids that may hare remined on it. In this final washing process, tbe work men are required to nse rubber gloves to preclude the possibility of any finger marks on the smooth, metal surfaces, follow ing this the body Is again thor oughly wiped, this time with spec ially prepared cloths which will, not leave any line or dust on the body surface. Then the clean body goes into spray booth where it is given the primer coat. Next it is placed In a drier and kept there for two honrs at 225 degrees Fahrenheit. Following this any slight imper fections that jnay remain are re moved with a flexible knife and -netal glase. iliW Next comes a coat of foundation surfacer and another period of drying for an hour and a half at 225 degrees Fahrenheit. The body then emerges from the drying room into a rubbing deck, where skilled workmen wash and smooth the surface with clear wa ter, very fine sandpaper and fine ly powdered pumice stone. Another drying process take thirty minutes, after which the body is ready for the pyroxylin. It is placed in the spraying booth where it is given two "double header" coats of pyroxylin. Each double header coat consists of two consecutive coats, one applied with vertical strokes of the air brush ad the other with horizontal strokes. Twenty minutes is allow ed for air drying between each double header coat. It requires but two and a half hours for the pyroxylin to set and harden thoroughly. Then with water, sponge and fine oil-bonder sandpaper, it is sanded to an abso lutely smooth finish. Again the body is washed and dried with clean towels, compressed air again being used to clenn out places in accessible to the towels. Finally, the body is given a mist coat of pyroxylin thinner just enough to permit the microscopic sanding marks to be smoothed ov er. After drying for twenty min utes at 109 degrees Fahrenheit, the body goes to the polishers where it receives the high lustre which gives it such an attractive appearance.

Ev ery time a man attempts to dis credit the driving of women as a class, he is taking as even harder wallop at the men folks, whosec impatience is largely responsible for whatever faults women drivers exhibit. "Almost everyone can think of some few women whom he ex empts from the category of un skilled drivers. Among my own acquaintances, at least, the thing works oat according to a fairly definite rule. The best women drivers I know, drivers as sure of themselves, and as expert in emergencies as any mas, are those who have no men folks about. And tne next-best are wires who have cars of their own. "Such a woman never has to wheedle or cajole to set the fam ily car for the - afternoon. No dread of a scolding hangs over her, to affect her driving skill. She may even exercise man's pre rogative of getting into a friendly crash, if she feels like it. without making explanations to her lord or being upbraided ror her pre sumed carelessness. Driving be comes automatic with her, Just as it does with men. 'Almost every community has at least one family in which the situation is reversed. The wife wears the trousers," and the hus band is the meek and submissive partner. Such a husband, if per mitted to drive at all. is likely to exhibit the very faults of which men complain in women. But his friends don't blame him. They say: 'The poor fellow is afraid to call his soul his own. If he scratched the car his wife would kill him.' " The man really interested in improving his wife's driving should try patience. Mr. Churchill believes. "Most men are somewhat me chanical-minded," he said. "Be fore they have been driving long they know exactly what is taking place in their car when gears are shifted or brakes applied. The knowledge makes them better drivers. And it comes so natur ally to them that they are inclined to be impatient with persons to whom it does not. "Women do not as a rule under stand mechanical things so readily as men. It is no reflection upon them that they do not. They have had more important responsibili ties than driving automobiles) Handling a car in traffic could scarcely be 'second nature' to fa. average woman, any more than the fine points of housework could be so to the average man. "Women are only now arriving on terms of equality with men, learning to do things which men have been doing for years. Freed of the handicap of criticism, they can pick up the knack of driving readily enough. The trouble is that few wives, even in families otherwise entirely congenial, are permitted to drive without feeling that they are under constant and critical surveillance. Men fill them with doubt and than blame them for reacting in the only way they could possibly react to such treatment." Mr. Churchill told of a newly- married friend whose bride very timidly broke the news that she had scratched their car. The hus band asked her: "Well, what of It?" "Why. aren't you coin to scold me?" she demanded incred ulously. "I thought husbands a' ways did that." Women drivers as a class, have several points of superiority over men, In Mr. Churchill's opinion. "They are far less liable to the sort of accidents which . result from cocksure driving, imposing on other motorists, or ignoring signals," he said.

"At the bottom of the whole thing is fear. A long time before the first automobile. Job in one of his afflictions wailed: 'The thing which I greatly feared has come upon me.' Wives should be encouraged to use the family car, net filled with all sorts of fore bodings about what may happen 4o them if they try to drive. Re place hesitancy with confidence and you transform a poor driver into a good one. "Tbe wisest man I know, in these matters, chose a unique way of teaching his wife to drive. He. showed her the controls, sketched the rules of the road, and made her take the car out alone several times. When she had gained con- -idence, he went out with her. . "She was inclined, with him be side her, to waver now and then. Bat he paid no attention, offered no suggestions, even when she bumped the car ahead at a stop. sirnal. That's nothing,' be" told her. "When an impatient drives be hind them sounded his horn, and confused her in the shifting oj gears, tbe husband counseled de liberation. 'Never hurry for one of those fellows,' he advised. 'Just take your time.' "That man's wife became a splendid driver, because her hus band was wise enough to culti vate In her own ability. -' It may be a long, time yet, be fore a woman's hand, thrust out of the automobile window, means anything very definite. Judging by man's reluctance to see the problem in its true light, it will be a long time. But the solutino, when it comes, will come through a complete change of attitude o the part of men. Ridiculing a weakness for which we men our- selves are to blame will only make the situation worse." WHY NOT BUY YOUR NEXT NEW OR USED CAR From IAIIimKF -.&AIRAiE (5.

" 1 All that Science Can Contribute to Tire-Making THE greatest achievements of all time have come to you ai a result-of. scientific research and advancement. Now the same science that brought you the radio the telephone the airplane brings you perfec tion in tires. Just as other great achievements have marked the passing of older methods this great tire means the discarding of old ideas. ' Its use by thousands on thousands of motorists ' seeking greater service in new-day conditions of driving has brought new and amaring records of . mileage that deserve your interest and consideration. MILL ER TIRE In use by many, of the leading' bus lines, of the country who figure tire mileage lo a fraction of a cent it has more than demonstrated a new-day ability that wins head and shoulders over other tires tested in competition. On your car it will bring you another revelation of what science can achisve. It w01 travel more miles require less service cost you less per mile and satisfy you as you have never before been satisfied with tires.
