Autos Will Use 125,000,000
Light Bulbs This Semi-
i Centennial Year
' Thomas A. Edison made the
first incandescent Hint twenty
years before the antomoblle came
Into use: ;inow, when the fiftieth
anniversary of Edison's achieve
ment is being observed, there are
100.000.000 and more Incandes
cent bulbs In the motor ears of
the United States and Canada a
tribute to the Inventor that no
other single industry, can equal,
remarks Manager Loder ot Loder
Bros., Graham Pair dealers.
"Every motorist shonld Join, in
spirit, in the Edison celebration,"
says Mr. Loder. "It a driver re
flects a moment, he will, realize
that he U indebted to Edison and
the electric light for a great meas
ure Of the safety, comfort, and
pleasure of metering. Anyone
who drove one of the early auto
mobiles will have no difficulty In
picturing the improvement wrnght
by the Edison invention for, al
though the electric light came
long before the automobile, it was
years before cars were electrically
lighted. The lamps had been in
vented, but the developing of the
storage battery and generators
came later J
"While the motorist Is virtually
dependent on the electric bulb, it
gets little credit because the car
owner takes it as a matter of
cousse.
"Now, answer quickly how
many light bulbs in your automo
bile? You don't know off-hand,
and possibly cannot even list them
all.
'No less than ten light bulbs
are- in every Graham-Paige bnilt,
and the larger models have eleven.
There are two head-light bulbs,
two side-lights, two lights in the
Instrument board, another to
flood light the coincidental lock
and front compartment, one dome
light, one tail-light, and one stop
light. Counting ten lights per
oar, that means that the Graham-
Paige company alone, in the first
nine months of the Edison semi
centennial year, has used 710,000
bulbs.
"For the entire automobile In
dustry, total production last year
was 4,601,000 cars; counting ten
bulbs per car, as in the Graham-"
Paige, this means 46,010,000
bulbs per annum as original equip
ment.
"At the end of last year, there
were 25,550,000 automobiles reg
istered in the United States and
Canada. The average number of
bulbs per car would hardly be less
than five (two head-lights, one
instrument board, one tail, one
top), and the average likely
would be higher, for side-lights,
are almost universal. But even
with only five lights, that means
127.750,000 electric light bulbs
la use.
"The next time you. drive out
at night, give a thought to the
motor car's indebtedness to Edi
son. You find city streets and
rural highways illuminated by his
Invention; Incandescent flashing
green or red give you the right of
way and protect your progress;
the lamps in your own car light
your road, protect your rear, sig
nal your steps, illuminate the in
strument dials, and flood light
your tonring maps.
"Surely, a motorist owes much
to Edison and should he most en
thusiastic in doing honor to the
great American in the world'! ob
servance of the fiftieth anniver
sary of the incandescent electric
light."

Game Wardens Vigilant
In Enforcing Laws
Game Commission Reports Arrest of Seattle
Sportsmen; Other Game News
The past week has found, the
employes of the state game com
mission working at top speed in
the sale of licenses and the distri
bution of licenses to sub agents.
Deputy warden in all parts of the
state have been on the alert for
law violators and their efforts
have, added revenue to the game
fund. Many arrests have been
made for such offenses as killing
does, taking more than the limit
of pheasants, deer hunting by
night and hunting without license.
Two wealthy Seattle sportsmen,
Josiah Collins and Joshua Green
learned a costly lesson when they
used not only their non-resident
hunting licenses but those of a
number of boys they had picked
up at Nyasa, la hunting pheasants
in Malheur county. They took the
boys along hunting with them and
took the birds on the licenses of
the youths. They were arrested by
deputy wardens and fined $150
each in the court at Vale.
length and that hundreds of them
will average more than eight
inches. The growth of the fish in
this hatchery is due to warm wa
ter springs which bring the water
to a better temperature for speedy
propagation.
Late this fall all of the lakes
in the ML Hood district and
around the headwaters of the
Clackamas river will be heavily
planted with. fish. The hatchery
department has been busily en
gaged in fish planting all summer
and will work until bad weather
prohibits intensive work. Millions
of fish have already been planted
and there are millions yet to be
placed In various streams and
lakes of Oregon. Matt Ryckman,
superintendent . of hatcheries,
points Out that the longer the fish
remain in the hatcheries the more
growth they will have, so that
they will be better able to with
stand winter high water.
One female pheasant a week
that is the- limit established dur
ing last session of the legislature,
and banters have been warned to
act accordingly. Harold Clifford,
state game warden, states that Ig
norance of the provisions of the
game laws will be no excuse In
courts. Copies of the laws are al
ways to be obtained at places
where licenses are purchased.
Two deputies working out of
the Portland office of the game
commission were stationed at
Multnomah Falls on the Columbia
river highway one even last week
checked more- than 1.000 pheas
ants in the cars of hunters who
had visited eastern Oregon. They
reported that deer hunters going
to the favorite haunts of the mule
deer in eastern and eentral Oregon
were not having desired luck as
the lack of rain in those sections
has given the snimals a decided
advantage.

EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP)
The day of Michigan State pro
viding the University of Michigan
with a training ground for future
Wolverine coaches definitely pass
ed with the resignation of Harry
Kipke and his taking over the
head coach duties at Michigan.
Michigan State athletic officials
surprised not only the football
world but most of the alumni
when they brought "Sleepy Jim"
Crowley, one of Rockne's famous
four horsemen, to East Lansing.
The depression that hit the camp
US as Kipke resigned gave place
to pride and optimism.
Crowley has been emphatic in
stating he will -stick It but.- He
has a three-year contract and It is
no secret that he is anxious to see
what the Notre Dame system can
do for State.
Michigan State yearns to take
Its place among the major foot
ball teams of the country. It has
left a deep impression in track,
baseball and basketball circles to
eclipse the deeds of the football
team.
Crowley Is attempting to make
State forget its daffc gridiron past.
No man has ever worked his char
ges at State so hard as "Sleepy
Jim." He is not at all downbeart
ed. He believes he has the speed
and brains for a winning team.

and the directing of additional
tourist traffic Into the northwest,
urging preservation of national

tensive fire protection in western
land and requesting Investigation
of the feasibility of an Interna
tional highway to Alaska, the
Western Motor clubs' conference,
concluded at Seattle, last week,
threw the composite support of
half a million motoring families
behind these important projects.
The conference, in resolutions
which will be transmitted to state
officials, auto clubs in all parts
of the country and to national rep
resentatives, pointed out the nec
essity for Immediate congressional
action on those matters and asked
for the support of all motordom.
Requested increases in federal
aid funds would provide $125,-
000,000 annually. Instead of the
present allotment of $75,000,000,
while the forest highway appro
priation would be raised to $12,
500,000 from $7,500,000 a year.
In regard to national forest
lands, 25 per cent of which con
stitute the area of the western
states, the conference points out
that a more aggressive policy of
national forest conservation and
reforestation is necessayr if these
scenic and natural regions are to
be preserved. In conjunction with
such a policy, the government is
urged to construct more trails,
breaks and other improvements

Eight !
A Canadian Pacific Hotel in Victoria. B. C
On every hajid you hear people talk
ing Eights. And, what is more con
vincing, you see them hujing Eights.
In 43 states, for the first seven
months of this year, new car registra
tions above iooo showed a 94 per
cent incrtast in Eights an 1 8 per cent
decrease in Sixes. (Five states do not
compile registrations by engine types)
Every fine car in America is an
Eight. In fact,4 1 per cent of all makes
of American cars today are Eights.
Is it any wonder that thousands
intending to buy new Sixes are hesi
tating? What is a Six going to bring in
next year's trade-in markets ? How
can it possibly measure up in value
with an Eight? Those are the ques
tions that every thinking motorist is
asking himself.
For, right now, at the price of a
Six,you can buy a brilliant new Stude
baker Eight. A champion Studcbaker
Eight with all the extra power, extra
smoothness, extra flexibility and extra
value that only an Eight can give.
An Eight built by Studcbaker, now
enjoying its 77th successful year
now the largest producer of Eight
cylinder cars in the world. An Eight
by Studebaker, holder of II world
records of speed and endurance and
more American stock car records than
all other cars combined.
Choose an Eight from the three
great Studebaker lines of Eights now
avaule at new low One-Profit prices.
Your car will be worth more a year
from now if its an Eight.

PORTO HII1S MVE
FINE NEW CAPITOL
SAN JUAN, Porto Rieo (AP)
Only a mile in distance but 400
years In time separate the prin
cipal points In the domain of Col.
Theodore Roosevelt as governor
of Porto Rico.
The governor will live In La
Forteleza, an ancient Spanish
fortress built when buccaneers
ravaged the Islands of the Car
ibbean, but his inaugural will be
in a building as modern as any in
an American state capitoL
The ceremony will be the first
in the new capltol, which is fin
ished on the exterior. Inside.
much remains to be done, bat the
building is occupied. It sits atop
a ridge just at the edge of the
business seetlon of San Juan and
overlooks both the ocean and the
harbor. Nearby are the fortifica
tions of San Christobal, built
more than 200 years ago.
Probably the governor will be
more interested in La Forteleza,
for it was started as the first
Spanish fortification in Porto
Rieo. From that It developed into
the official residence of the gov
ernor general, and so it remained
through the long years of Spanish
rule.
When the United States took
sovereignty of the island fa 1898,
the building was used by military
authorities. It became the .home
of the American governor1 when
civil rule was established in 1900.
Outwardly, La Forteleza. does
not show its age. It is a three
floor structure build about a pa
tion, with a stairway of solid ma
hogany leading from the main
floor to the living quarters above.
