Salem, Oregon, Sunday Morning, September r 1 Comfort - Convenience - Clear Vision New Harvesting Method Motorists Urged to Exercise Caulion With Reopening . of fiie sdhools WASHINGTON, D. C -. On the ere t the reopening of ' publle, prhrate f 'and parochial schools throughout5 the country, the American" Automobile associa tion today broadcast?; warning to motorists that.the return of mil lions of children' to the schoolroom will ereate feir .Iriffie hazards nnit Tirvat refill iTiHvln tin thm part of every; car owner. ; The national v motoring body nointed out thai the orevention of accidents lnrolfing school children Is largely within,. the province, of the motorist and; the exercise of caution will go far In reducing the number of deaths and Injuries. "School days are Just ahead; says the statement, "and millions of children will be upon the streets and highways. In this vast army will he little ones of four, fire andssix years of age who for the first time and leaving the pro tection and safety of their homes to enter an entirely new world. There will be problems enough without that of the reckless dri ver;" ' ' ' ' ' ' , 1 J" ) J'iWhUe there is tao'donof 'that teaching of safety In the schools throughout the country, safety posters and the effective work of the schoolboy patrols has done much to protect these youngsters, the problem will still remain as a challenge to the nation. "Every motorist should feel ob ligated to have a part In. this great humanitarian - workr and they should realize the enormous dif ference their care and considera tion would mean In keeping these children safe from physical harm as well as from a fear that may mar the rest of their lives. Such a spirit on the part of the car own ers will do more than anything else to make for safety The 'A.' A. A. declared that while safety is now a part of the curriculum in many .states, and children who have had one or sev eral years in school' have been taught the rudiments of safety, they cannot always be expected to exercise the utmost care. After spending the vacation period on safe playgrounds, there is always a, tendency toward . a, let-down in their safety sense when they first return to the streets; Unless the drivers of all motor vehicles are on their guard at all. times, this let-down will result in many fatal ities and injuries, says "the state ment. It eontinuesi1 L "The reduction of accidents that Is traceable to the establish ment of school-boy patrols In hun dreds of schools throughout the country is evidence that the cour teous helpfulness of motor car dri vers has been extended to these youngsters whose white belts and arm bands identify them as safety crusaders. There is every, reason to believe that still greater coop eration will be given during. this school, year. --- . Tower Saves Parking Space i' y-M ' h ; - , .:.' . , -.. ' - .

Airplane engine production reached the Highest peak in the rlstory of aircraft Industry during the first six' months of this year, when 3.82S motorra were manu factured, according to a " report made public by the Aeronauti cal Chamber of : Commerce of America. ' , The six - months production re port, presented at a conference of airplane engineV manufacturers here, shows that the new engines produced had-a retail value of $14,349,375.46. Of the total num ber, 3,275 were absorbed by the commercial airplane market, rep resenting a total value of $10,- 023,274.30. This reports shows a 78 per cent Increase during the first six months of 1929 over the entire output for 1928, with an increase in value of 20 per cent. An active market for the medium priced mo tors was said to be Indicated by this relatively small increase in the total value of engines pro duced. Five hundred and fifty-one mil itary engines were manufactured, with a j totaL value i ? of 1 1 1 3 .4 2 C ,- a military airplanes 'made yes terday, the engine report also shows a decline in the manufac ture of military engines. The to tal number produced was but 40 per cent f the 12 month total for last year. The total retail valuation of air planes, engines -and parts produced in the United States during the first six months was set by the Aeronautical Chamber of Com merce at $50,000,000. This . is within $12,000,000 of the total retail valuation for the 12 month report in 192.8. In the commercial field, the six months report shows that 43 en ginesproduced were less than 50 horsepower as contrasted with 32 in this class for 1928's total. Be tween 50 and 100 horsepower, 509 engines were manufactured during the six months as com pared with 237 for the 1928 12 month total. - WOHNTOCS "MEW a Triumphs won, sales records broken, world-wide acclaim as the most successful achievement in the field of low-price sizes have not i found the De Soto Six content to rest upon its laurels, t Conceived, engineered and built by Chrysler Motors, this car of character is continuing to prove its superior appeal to those who insist on distinction in their motoring, t Alert and brilliant p,f""ianrol smooth power, easy control and the utter comfort of this stylish six have captured almost romantically, the fancy of the 'motoring public, t Owners, indeed, talk of the De Soto Six in terms of generous afiecuon as if it were a living comrade rather than a motor car.

BOYS HIE ON MOTHER'S FARM Gone are the old harvesting methods on the farm of Mrs. Ma tilda Strutz, three miles east of Salem on the Garden Road. No more long drawn out harvests starting with the binder and end ing with threshers and straw stackers. This season Mrs. Strutz purchased a combined harvester, a Holt machin Wth. tr foot cut. Rer three song-are operating it. Herman, 19, is sack sewer and separator man. John, 15, is driv ing the tractor which draws the combine. Joseph, 11, is header puncher. The trio have been op erating the machine nearly two weeks and according to M. W. Maynard, manager of the Loggers and Contractors Machinery com pany, local representatives for the Holt line, they have gotten on without any trouble at all. The machine cuts about 15 acres a day. They expect to cut with it some 600 acres this sea son, oats, wheat and barley. It is only within the last few years that it was found the com bined harvester could be used suc cessfully in the Willamette valley. Within four years combines have come in and are now being used to harvest grains and seeds of all kinds, Including rye grass, alslke yrv . CHRYSLER fTl MOTORS PRODUCT Anderson : ' .

The resulting transformation in harvesting methods makes for savings to the farmer and is di recting him toward production of grains for seed rather than food grains such as wheat and oats. 58 Per Cent of New Autos are Sold on Time More careful investigation of credit risks, stricter financial terms and the lower , prices , fit cars are reducing the ( percentage of cars sold on time payments. 'The national motoring body pointed out that 58 per cent of the new cars sold in 1928 were on the time payment plan, as com pared with 68.2 per cent In 1925. In this connection, it is 60.8 per cent of used cars sold in 1928 were on the installment basis, while 62.8 per cent were sold on this basis in 1925.
