With Ions- trips ahead, the question "How's the automobile industry? demands immediate attention, ad vises Manager Clarke of the West- era Auto Supply company. A storage battery should have V sufficient capacity to j furnish power td all 'of the electrical units of" the , car and when It becomes necessary to buy a new battery, - the ' car owner should make sure that the one he selects will prop erly furnish his car and' its elec trical accessories with ample elec tricity,'! says Mr. Clarke, i i " Itattjries Soon Break Down t it Is advisable te install a bat tery of the same size and capacity as-recommended by the car man : nfacturers rather than one which "V does not have sufficient capacity to supply all of the needs of the . car.

Western Giant and Wizard batteries are full capacity batter ii' -les and are built to stand a lot pi abuse.: In addition to the eurrent ' 'fU-' needed - for i- lights.

I EUGENE, Oregon, July 4 Strangers passing through this thriving city are bewildered at the sight of many bearded and pic turesquely dressed men and de mure, hoop-skirted woman, on the streets, in the shops and offices and even In the theatres and other public places. . The bewilderment is usually abort-lived, however, for soon the newcomer is informed by one of the whiskered gentle men or old-fashioned women that Eugene is to have a pioneer page ant July 35, 2f and 27.. Called the "Sunset Trail Cele bration." the event has taken on state-wide Importance and nbw promises to be one of the out standing celebrations on the J Pa cific coast. Situated" in the heart of the historic pioneer "Oregon country," Eugene and the sur rounding area is rich in lore of early settlement days, and j the staunch, aggressive spirit that led the makers of the state out from tbe east is to be the inspiration of the coming three day celebration. Thatcher 'Writes Pageant Of greatest interest wll bej the Sunset Trail Pageant," written by W. F. G. Thacher of the Uni versity of Oregon, in which 1500 citizens of Eugene will participate. This will be given each evening, on a huge stage to be erected in the center' of Hayward stadium at the Universityr of Oregon. Accom modations are being provided; fordrsma. OHO SALES r SI 30,000 spectators for this event, and already people of this city have entered enthusiastically Into rehearsals for the many features that will make up the pageant. The pageant will not only depict the growth of the Oregon coun try from prehistoric times, but will present a brilliant ballet in which the future that lies before the state will be shown in an elab orate and most unusual way. The early episodes will show in turn the Indian in his native haunts be fore the coming of the white man, the migration to this region, the coming of Lewis and Clark, the settlement of early communities, on up to present day industry and commerce. Then "the ballet will be presented, with "dancers, showing the resources and industries of the state, such as forestry, agricul ture, fishing, commerce. Industry and power as they are expected to be in the future.. Mrs. Smith Director Directing the pageant will be Mrs. Doris Smith, of Portland, who has won national fame through her work as director of "Itosarla," in her city during the annual Rose Festival. She will he assisted by John Stark Evans and Rex Under wood, of the University of Oregon school of music; Mildred Le Compte Moore, dancing, director, and scores of others whose talents have been proved in music or ILIIH' SHIP . i U ' ! Quits the most spectacular aeronautic activity around Los Angeles in recent years, says Frank Docflittlei Goodyear dealer at Salem, has been the daily tights of the Goodyear airship "Volun teer." Wherever it goes, this trim stur dy ship ot the air has attracted tremedons . attention. There la something Impressing and awe-in spiring about this great " silver- ship emerging from the haze and cruising lazily, easily overhead. There Is novelty to" the 'Volun teer." But there is also serious pur pose behind these, flights.; Goodyear buflt the "Volunteer" and others of its class primarily to demonstrate Lighter-than-Air and to carry this division ;of aero nautics to the public. i Some day, and that day Is not far off, lines of commercial Zep pelin ships will be flying . from continent to' continent,' carrying tons of mail, express and; passengers. "With the introduction of the Kelly Registered Balloon to the automobile tire market says Jim and Bill of Smith A Watklne, "the Kelly Springfield lire Co., inaug urated an entirely new sales idea. All the hlt-or-mlss factors hare been: removed and close connec tions hay heen established be tween the buyer, the dealer and the manufacturer. "For some time, there has been a real need for a so-called super tire and for several years. Kelly engineers have been 'perfecting a tfre which wosld be super ia every respect. Wbert thU tiro was. ready for the market, it was decided to keep .an accurate; record, ot each Individual -tire's performance. Since the Kelly Registered Balloon is a thoroughbred in the strictest sense of the word, the Kelly com pany felt that Its life should be watched as closely as that of thor oughbred borees, dogs or cattle. Hen' the nr me "Registered." "Here is how it ia accomplished. When the car x wner purchases a Kelly Reglstei 3d Balloon from his dealer, a card.; which is attached to the tire, Iz filled out and mailed to the factory at Cumberland, Md. This card records the tire's lndi vidual number and size, the make of ear, model and type of body and the name and address of the pur chaser. The record Is then entered with the manager of the service department. The date on which the tire was bought is also kept on file; In this way, the performance of the Kelly Registered tire is checked to the buyer's satisfac tion. He knows that the Kelly service department Is able to fol low the life of -his registered bal loon until he is ready to pension it for meritorious service." OLDSMOBILE BUSINESS GOOD ' By far the greatest business in its history is .reported by Oldsmo bile for the first six months of this year, factory officials here announced today. Production and shipments of Oldsmobiles during this period were 34.6 per cent larger than during the same six months in 1928, when all previ ous hicv. records were surpassed.

Automotive statisticians have fixed the aver age life of an automobile in gener al at around seven or eight years, Y . . , . dui iew cars 01 wnaiever me maKe remain that long in the hands of j a linrla nvntr I The reason is . obvious. Besides tiring of the same means of trans portation, the owner falls into the human failing of neglecting his old stand-by. And so the car de teriorates faster than, it should. In much less than the seven or eight years for which it is marked, it is ready for the scrap heap.
