It means more mileage on everit jro tected tire. "It is a well-known fact that fully 90 percent of aU tires go out of serviee prematurely because of accidents, before they' have ' run . the fall course of their built-in mileage. Regular, monthly in s Taction will add hundreds of thousands of miles to the life of all tires so Inspected. --r "Today every buyer of protected iberling tires in Salem Is en titled to free monthly inspection and repairs, and he can get them now. not only here, but wherever the open road takes him. The iocal car owner who rides on Sei berling All-Treads can strike oat for distant parts and forget his tire worries. He will find a Sel berling dealer on every highway and by-way ready to look hie tires over, and, either give them a clean bill of health, or put them into perfect shape at once without charge. "In the past, regular tire ir spection has been impossible when 'he car owner was far from his lotne garage. Now. however, '. 000 dealers stand ready to ex amine any Seiberling tire, any place, at any time." ' Under the unique Seiberling Tire Protection plan, blow-outs rtm cuts, bruises, tears and all other tire hazards, are repaired free of charge by any Seiberling dealer during the period or one full year after the date of pur chase.

In fact. Mr. Cole points out, there have been only four years In the twenty which make up Hupmobile history when the output for twelve months was greater than that attained in the firt five months of 1888. Hap executives are confident that when the half year closes Jane 30 next, shipments for the first six months of 1928 will surpass all but one of those four annual totals and will seriously challenge even the high output reached in the twelve months of 1926. Daring the month of May. 1927. shipments were 3.516 cars, show ing an increase for May, 1928, of 4.845 cars or 138 percent. . The largest previous May in Hupmobile history was in 1926 when 4,989 cars were shipped, May. 1928. thus showing an in crease of 3,372 cars or 68 percent. Shipments of Hupmobiles since January 1, 1928, have totalled 33, 313 cars. This is an increase of 13.882 cars, or 71 percent, over the total for the same months f ltt7. ' ' ' . .' Mar sales tor Canada and to for eign countries reflected equally notable advances over past totals aad kept pace with the Increase of domestic business. Compared with May. 1917, Canadian shipments, more than doubled, gaining at the rate of 106 percent, aad passing the previous record set in April of the present year by 71 cars. Sales to Canada since January 1 hare been 70 percent larger than in the best previous corresponding per iod, the first five months of 1927. Export shipments dating May were greater than in. any previous May of the company's business, showing 13 8 percent Increase over May, 1927. For the first five months of the year exports ran 92 percent ahead of those In the same time of 1927. Another new Hupp record was established during the month when on May ISth. the greatest single day's production in Hupmobile history was attained by the ship ment of 450 cars. Mr. Cole points oat that the de mand for Century cars has been steadily broadening ever since the introduction of the six of the Cen tnry. last October. "Every month these new cars have been on the market the vol ume of orders pouring in for them has increased." he said, "and the scope of their origin has steadily widened. There is hardly a varia tion in any direction in the uni formity of the demand throughout the country. Prom Maine to Cali fornia and from Seattle to Key West dealers agree In reporting public enthusiasm over the new standards of beauty and perform ance which began to register- at first sight of the Century ears, has been cumulating steadily aad Is now stronger than at any time in the seven months they hare been on the market. "There is no indication of as ebb in the demand. Orders are still in excess of production. June opens with every prospect of setting still higher records, if we can keep ma terial coming in at necessary pace. There Is no Question that 1928 will be Hupmobile's greatest year." 1 HI S SERVICE US 01 FOR BATTERY and AUTO ELECTRICAL SERVICE See JOE WILLIAMS The Battery Man 4(1 77 Cormer Center A High Telephone 199 Will.

The former will wear coveralls of special two-tone twill powder blue with trim onJ pockets aad collar of dark nary blue. The "officers" or floor men ill wear a long coat of similar color and materials. Both the me chanics and the floor men will wear hats to match their uniforms. According to R. A. Armstrong. serrlce manager for the Oaklapd Motor Car company, the decision to uniform his nation-wide organ ization is the latest development in an unceasing campaign to raise still further the standards of Oak-land-Pontiae serrlce. "We train our men with pains taking care and maintain a force of factory representatives who visit every Oakland-Pontlae service sta tion, at freauent interrals." Mr. Armstrong said. "We hare decided upon a standard serrlce uniform not alone because of the more far- arable impression that a neatly un iformed serrlce department will make upon the public, but also be cause of the psychological effect that the new uniforms Should hare upon the service men themselves." fifty million dollars. Most of It is used in vehicles operated orer dirt roads, aad tests made by the Iowa Agricultural College show that a gallon of gas will carry a car 14 miles on a dirt road, 17 miles on a grarel road, and 20 miles on a pared road. Annual expenditures for tires is figured at thirty mil lion. The annual cost of tires for an average motor vehicle Is $31. (5 on concrete or pavement; $63.- 30 on gravel, and $158.25 on the average dirt roads. The people of Iowa have come to the conclusion that the cost of riding on dirt is too high. Fifty-three counties have authorised a total of $60,080,650 in highway bonds. Oregon learned this lesson three years ago and it is estimated that the saving in repairs and depre dation to the average motorist in this state has more than repaid the cost of license fee and gas tax which made the good roads available. DIRT ROADS FOUND TO BE VERY COSTLY (Continued from Page 11) The annual bill for gasoline in the Hawkeye stage is estimated at With 629.000 motorcycles in use in Great Britain, this type of ve hicle is more popular there than In any other country. The Oregon State- Motor Association reports that among the British the motor cycle occupies to a large extent the place held by the low-priced car in the United States. sharp curves necessitate eon tin u- aus sounding of the horn. Spare tire pressure should be tested regularly. Many a motorist is driving around the country cheerfully ignorant of the fact that he has insufficient air in the spare tire, points out the manager ot the Emergency Road serviee of Che Oregon State Motor associa tion. Sometimes slow punctures and valve, leaks let the air out. and when the time comes to put the pare tire on, it is just as flat as the punctured tire that is being e moved. It is a good plan when you are pulling into a gas station to navel the attendant check over the pres sure ia the spars as well as In the other tires; counsels ths road ser vice department of the associa The Oregon State Motor asso ciation announced, yesterday that the Baniff-Wlndmera hlthway from Spokane north to Lake Lou ise and Banlff in the Canadian Rockies is open for the season. Kicking Horse Trail Is also open to traffic. In Wisconsin, school teachers are required to give 30 minutes in struction a month to the children on accident prevention, reports the Oregon State Motor association. Although it Is generally conced ed in this country that the exces sive use of the horn is the hall-1 mark of the novice driver, never theless, there are places where even one horn does not seem to answer the requirements ot safety, reports the Oregon State Motor as sociation. In Venexuela, for in stance,, two horns are required on each automobile, a hand horn for! the city and an electrical horn for the country, which makes that country a good customer for auto mobile horns. The association reports that the actual practice shows that passen ger cars in Venexuela are usually equipped with three horns, one hand-operated and the other two electrical. The button for one of the electrical horns is on the steer ing wheel, while the other is plac ed on the left door of the car and is operated by pressure from the driver's knee.
