Tbia is due to the fact that tbe BPed of tbe pump varies with the speed of the engine and ia not de pendent npon a vacunm created in the manifold. The fnel pomp in the Oldsmo bile operate off tbe camshaft, rnnnlng slow or fart according to th speed of the engine. Levers operate a diaphragm of special ronj position not affected by gas--ol;n. This diaphragm creates a vaMiuni at each stroke, drawing the 'gas from tbe rear tank. The pump is self-priming and will de liver ga to the carburetor in from 10 to 15 revolutions of the engine even when tbe entire sys tem has been drained. A simple mechanism automatic ally halts the flow of gasoline when the carburetor bowl Is full. Thus, while the pump operate continually when the engine is run nine, it supplies only as much fuel s the carburetor actually requires. Not b-lng dependent upon a va cuum created in the manifold, the funl pump gives better idling con- ii?ions and also delivers a full sup ply of gasoline when a car is be ins driven up steep grades or un tw heavy load. A f u"l strainer is built as an In-U-egal part of tbe pump so that all gasoline is thoroughly filtered be fore, it passes through the pump or the carburetor. This prevents fine particles of dirt getting under the- neMil valve, clogging the jt and causing carburetor trouble. The use of a fuel pump also re quirt leas gasolene piping, thiu reducing the possibility of a break in the line. Being an entirely en closed system, no gas fumes are emitted. -the Grand Canyon.

Motorists want to know the condition of the roads, tbe in teresting spots that may be seen along the way, and distances be tween points so that convenient stopping-over points may be de cided upon. For the convenience of motorists the Union Oil Com pany has issued a new twelve-page map folder of convenient pocket size, which is more tnan a men- publication of routes and listing f points of interest. In addition o providing the motorist with tbe nost up-to-date information on tighways and trails in Arizona, Jalifornia. Nevada, Oregon. Wash ngton and British Columbia, it on tains a complete list of auto! .-amps along the main traveled highways, information on the choice scenic gems in the national jarks and a map of the park-to-park highway. These maps are distributed gra tis to all motorists through th thousands of Union Oil station and independent dealers handling 1'nion Oil product, extending from dexico to British Columbia. Conservative estimates place tht number of those who will spenc their vacations on wheels this sum mer on the Paicfic Coast at ovei 1.000,000 excluding those tourist rom eastern states. For the bon it of these or for those who wis! o plan a trip where "no scene i wice seen." the Union Oil map -re offered for distribution.

Comfort, ease of handling and ability through mountainous coun try are angles stressed by Mrs. W L Moseiey. of Richmond. Va. "Our '70' sedan snowea xs.vwv miles when I started out at :45 one Sunday morning." she reports. "I drove to Natural Bridge 183 miles stayed there two hours and returned by way of Lynch- Coast distributors of Buiek cars.

In these students' homes, Buick is more than a two-to-oce favorite, regardless of price class. By J. W. Parker Tire Co., Local Firestone Service Dealer Racing history repeats itself. Firestone Gnm-Dipped tires winners of every national cham pionship for years, are again shat tering all world's records on the great speedways of the country.

Within the confines of the Pa cine Coast vacation land axe business done by the merchants, snd where formerly the business man bad to depend largely on the residents of the city in which he was established for his patron age, it is now evident that this is no longer the caee." "European motorists are shrewd buyers. They demand luxury and comfort, to jne letter of those words, but at the same time want an automobile that has speed a.

Muild YOTMLF 1 IF YOU knew all there is to know about building tires and had at your disposal the great resources of a tire plant as 'large and complete as the Miller plant we'll wager you would build a tire just about like Millers. The reason so many motorists buy Miller Tires and stay with them year after year is because Miller Tires stay with the motorist longer than any tire we know of. Mileage, of course is what you are looking for. Mile for mile, in any kind of service, over any kind of roads we'll match Millers against the field. And our reputation as square dealers stands back of that statement. You'll find the proof in the extra miles and greater service you get from Miller Tires. Buy them. dow. Our prices can't be beat.

I The average man who owns a car necessarily should be assured of the same tire safety and.de-1 pendability as tbe racing drivers who entrust their personal safety to Firestone Cum-Dipped tires. Veterans of the speedway un derstand the extra strength and peed built into a tire by reason of the exclusive Firestone Gum- Dipping process. They know that this method impregnates and in sulates every cord of the carcass with live rubber, reducing the pos sibility of internal friction, and mifying tbe whole structure of he tire. Moreover, the Firestone scien ifically designed balloon tire read provides driving .dependa bility. -and long mileage at low cost. which shows the confidence I have mountain climbing.

From Terre Haute. Ind.. E. A. 3olin reports that his "70" road- ter, "purchased four years ago as 90.300 miles on it. The motor Lester R. Wilson, of Chicago. ells a little different story. "I have owned 10 automobiles, ail celling for more than $3500, six Chrysler "70" and "80" models." he wrote recently. "Not only has my expense with the Chryslers been so economical as to, be al- nost beyond comparison with oth er mokes of cars, but their re markable performance also has made me a most sincere enthu siast. "My home is in Lake Geneva, Wis., approximately 75 miles from Chicago. I make the trip here practically every day. My average running times is 100 minutes. I love fast driving and know of no other car that would stand the I punishment I give the Chrysler. I have often experienced watching the speedometer roll around to 83, end you can believe me that it is a thrill I love. It is interesting, also, to know that the car handles with the same comfort and ease at high speed as it does at 30 miles per hour." Mrs. Martha J. Ichaepe. of Cleveland. Ohio, is an enthusiastic women owner. "Have 42,7720 mileff on our car," he writes, "and never a thing done to it since we have had it not even a new spark plug. We are more than pleased with It and will have another eral people and they all seem to think it was a most unusual run and one that is seldom, made in one day." Clifford J. Chaffee, of Portland, Ore., has a "70" roadster which he had recently driven 105,169 miles. 9 9,00 of them in Alberta and the remainder in Oregon. "It has given me perfect satisfaction and has cost me a total of $1.40 tor replacement parts a screen in the carburator. The valves have been ground four times. I believe this a record for economical operation." After driving for IS years "cov ering the states of Ohio, Michigan and Indiana, and trying out a doi- en of the most reputable "sixes on the market, I cannot praise the "72" half as much as it deserves is the tribute of F. E. Welton, of Jackson. Mich. "My advice to any one who drives as I do 35,000 to 4 0,000 miles per year is Ask the man who drives a Chrysler six days out of seven, and 100 to 250 miles every day."
