"Automobiles now are consld .ered from tbe standpoint of type: of usage and are bought on that basis. Some owners use their ears for business purposes almost : exclusively, others for family transportation or what have you. "Naturally the man who drives his car every day in the year will want the best of tires. For such people and for those who drive unusually far or fast, and for those who demand freedom from tiro trouble, Goodyear has de signed a special tire. With prac tically a double thick tread, the toughest yet developed, and with a specially designed Supertwlst car cass, the Double Eagle is proving - the ultimate in tire equipment. It In master tire which will hold nn under the most exacting At stands and is built to outwear sot tire A most dependable tire which Goodyear is offering to the pub lic fa lU Weavy Duty cord. It Is " -recomsatfided for motorists who detiasd added strength and super- ' servie efrom their equipment. These tires are built to stand th severe grind of rough unimproved roads and for carrying heavy loads." MOFniS - F "Oregon uses every cent of the money derived from the motcrists for highway purposes." said Sen ator Charles Hall, director of the Oregon State Motor association, and formerly chairman of the roads anJ highways committee of the senate. "In doing this, Oregon is fol lowing the example of practically every state in the Union, at only three states Florida. Ceorgia and Texas, divert the motorists' money for purposes other than roads. Florida's Levy to Schools "Ux Florida, the gasoline fax levy Is 5 cents per gallon and of this amount 1 cent per gallon is diverted for the free public public school fund.

On the basis of these collections, more than $2,000,000 was diverted to the free public school fund in 1928. "In Georgia, the gasoline tax levy Is 4 cents per gallon and of this amount H cent per gallon is diverted for school purposes.

Cost to Run Car Each Mile Shown in Accurate Expense Record Kept by Auto Head " 'What does it cost me to run my car' is a question fre quently asked the Oregon State Motor association by individ uals who just drive the old bus and do not bother to keep track of costs" stated W. C. Perkins, director of the Oregon State Motor association and owner of the Perkins Motor Car Co. at La Grande. ' "Of course," continued Mr. Per kins, "the answer varies with the make of car the motorist drives and the individual car costs de pend also upon the way the car is driven. Some very complete cost statistics on the operation of all types of cars have been work ed out by the Iowa State college In CENTS PER MILE Items Light Med. Heavy Light Med. Heavy 4 cyl. 4 eyl. 4 cyl.

Trip Breaks All Records Another automobile road rec ord toppled this , week when a stock Franklin 135 sedan, with Cannon Ball Baker . at the wheel covered the 412.raUcs from San Francisco to Los Angeles In hours, 32 minutes for an average of 54.7 miles per hour. The time officially checked by Western Union, is one hour and 25 minutes faster than the best previous auto mobile mark between the two cities. Leaving San Francisco by way of the bay bridge from San Mateo to Hayward, the air-cooled car followed the inland route, through thickly populated territory for 300 miles until it reached the San Joaquin Valley, then beyond Ba kersfield it made rapid ascent up the Grapevine Into the Tehachapi mountains and entered Tejon Pass at an altitude of 4.213 feet. From this point to Sandbergs, a distance of 11 miles tbe air cooled record breaker climbed rap idly up grades which ranged from 6 to 10 per cent. At Sandbergs, 9 miles north of Los Angeles, the Ridge Route known as the "road of a thousand curves," was encountered being followed until the ear emerged through the New hall tunnel within 22 miles of the goal.

Y:, A" Treaties in Foreign Lan guage Hot Acceptable to Privy Council - TOKYO (AP) The ultra-conservative Privy Council of Japan. which advises the emperor on treaty-amking. does not approve of international pacts which no one in Japan can read. On that ground it threatens to block a treaty with Abbysinia despite the fact that the text appears In French and Japanese as well as in the Amharic dialect of the Af rican empire. The covenant was signed last year at Addis Ababa by Viscount Mnshakoji, minister to Rumania, and' Ras Tafari. thn regent and now emperor of Abbyssiaia, It Is an ordinary five-year compact of amity and commerce but will to be effective until exchange of ra tifications. The privy council has long been at swords points with the Tanaka cabinet and members of the latter, emphasizing that, the pact is written la three langu ages, accuse, the councilors of merely seeking an excuse to make a fresh assault on the ministry. EH TIKE ALL PRIZES Europe was given another de monstration of the all-around per formance of which American auto mobiles are capable when Ameri can entries carried off most of the prizes in the 2,730-mile tour of France, organized by the Motor cycle club of France. The tour. which was for both automobiles and motorcycles, consisted of nine-day runs of approximately 310 miles each, with intermediate days in the various provinces de voted to speed contests, hill climbs, starts with cold motors and other events designed to bring out the real qualities of the cars. The Ansaldo Cup for all-round performance, the most coveted prlie, was won by an Essex, driv en by Andre Morel, a noted French driver. It finished without penalizations. Adding to the per form&nce was the fact that a second Eeser, driven by Lamy, al so finished with a perfect score. A community hall to he erect ed at Hamilton, Canada, will eost l. ooo, ooo.
