"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

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

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.

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

in the Amharic dialect of the Af

The covenant was signed last
year at Addis Ababa by Viscount
Mnshakoji, minister to Rumania,

an ordinary five-year compact of

pact is written la three langu
