Oref m BuickMade Good Show During War Japanese Pay Tribute To Service Rendered 0 i By Cars In Man churia Campaign During the world war, while attention waa focused on the great struggle what waa going on In western Europe, a part of the campaign was being carried on by the Japanese army in north ern Manchuria and Siberia. Much ' of the territory in which fight ing was going on was far from the nearest railroad, and the transportation problem was one of the greatest importance. Sup- J piles of all descriptions must oe delivered to the fighting forces Without delay or serious lnterrup- i tion. Officials must be e.rled to and fro. Wounded must be taken to the rear. The Japanese authorities solved the problem in this case, by or ganizing a motor transport ser vice. 1 The car selected for service of v h a character must of neces sity be capable of withstanding the greatest amount of abuse and neglect without ceasing to func tion. It must be easily handled and be free from all complication. It must also be capable of being easily repaired in case of mishap. To fulfill these exacting condi tions the Japanese authorities chose the Buick encouraged, per haps, by the performance of a fleet of these cars in the Gobi desert, In Mongolia, a conquest of impossible conditions that has become world famous. That their confidence was not misplaced is shown by the fact that the Japanese distributor has received Iron two different branches of tho service citations of the cars used. The first citation translated reads: "Wo hereby certify that the Buick cars were In service of the First Automobile Corps during the campaign In northern Mau churi aaud Siberia, and which started for the front in September 19 IS. The Buick cars proved their superiority, their depend able efficiency and the facility of their control and driving, de spite the hilly and Bluiggy roads in the territories where they were driven, wlthstauding hard usage even In the depth of winter with the temperature 00 degrees Fr. below zero. They have not encountered with any detects In their mechanism, and the fuel consumption was far smaller than the others." Tlio First Auto mobile Corps. Tho Bccond citation Is as fol lows: "We hereby certify that tho Buick motor cars, handled by the Yannse & company, were In ser vice of the Second Expeditionary Aeronautical corps, despatched In Siberia, and proved the stability of the mechanical functions, facilities of controlling and driv ing. Even In the season of severe cold in the territories mbove mentioned, there wu no defect found In the mechanism; In short the superiority of the car proved to be unusually noteworthy." The Second Expeditionary Aero nautical Fore. Not only have Bulcks porfornv d services in the past that have merited these testimonials, but It Is Interesting to not tbst they are still in service. The sami fleet of cars Is being used in the present operations of the Japan ese army against the Bolshevik 1 in Siberia. Neither cold nor heavy ttoliijr. nor lack of attention hflvi ipii lH tham nntl MiAv til, I ' fair to qualify for further cita tions In tho future. Western Oregon Offers Big Range For Auto Tourists "Where shall we go this sum mer?" This Is the universal question in motordum these bright spring days. Circumstances have conspired to answer it In part "we shall stay In Oregon and en tertain the thousands from road" but beyond that restric tion there is a width of choice bounded only by the great acean on the west, the big hills m the east, and a beautiful drive north and south to Canada and to Mexico. Within this boundry are pleasant resorts and beautiful scenery which beckon the aspiring motorist with their Infinite variety of charms. In the Willamette Valley, the magnificent granary of half the west, the gem-like beauty of the mountain districts and the joyous and health-giving sea breeze, cap ture the Immigration of every real American. Further south is the glorious scenery of the Rogue river valley and the Cascade and coast ranges of mountains; and the beguiling smoothness of a splendid road system up the Columbia highway to Eastern Oregon. All of these are con stantly Inviting tourists from all directions. Last summer witnessed a tre mendous increase in trans-conll-nental touring, and the coming season, according to present In dications, will show another gain in this red-blood sport. The Shrlner's convention in Portland last summer stimulated much crosn-country travel by motor car and since that event all motor dom has heard the call of Oregon and Is responding. That the motor touring season of 1921 Is going to break all existing re cords is agreed by all those In a position to know. From local organizations that handle touring Information come reports of preparations Tor meet ing heavily Increased demands. This is not merely a biased thought fathered by those deeply Interested In having It como true. There are solid grounds of reason for asserting that motor touring this year will reach heights of popularity on tho part of Ameri can people never before attained by any sport. Oarage men, hotel men and all manner of commer cial Industries anticipate It and are preparing to meet the demand. Ouija Told Lie.

Ouija, fireside companion in thousands of homes and confi dential adviser to hundreds of families, has been dragged In court in a $10, 000 suit for sland er in the Will County Court at Jollet, 111. A year ago the family of Mrs. Clara Yost, of Iiockport, 111., went away from home for a brief visit. On their return they found a quantity of sugar and raisins missing. Mrs. Yost began an Investigation and consulted the ouija board. Ouija, it is al leged, stated that Mr. and Mrs. Crank Walters, neighbors and old friends of the Yost family, had taken the missing articles. The story circulated about I.ockport and Mrs. Walters demanded that Mrs. Yost make a retraction In the local paper. This she refused to do and the $10,000 slander suit Is the result. the American Philosophical socie ty here today, D. T. MacDougal of the Carnegie Institute of Washing ton desert laboratorc, Tuscon, Ariz., said that some species be have like a heavy hose feeding from a pressure system to a fire engine. Crudely expressed, he said, when the engine tends to take water faster than supplied the hose tends to collapse; when the engine slacks its action, the hose swells. "Dally equalising vaiiations by which a tree may be actually smaller in mid-afternoon than at sunrise are greatest in ash, pine, spruce, fir, walnut, and least' tn poplars, sycamore, beech and oak trees," Dr. MacDougal said.

Dr. MacDougal The life of a tire Is the air It contains. The more air. or dinarily, the longer the life. Of course there are exceptions but it Is a safe rule to start with 20 pounds air pressure to the cross section Inch, and If more Is needed to add it. Thus a SH" tire will require 70 pounds and a 4" tire no pounds. Koad, lord and speed are determining factors In la pressure required. It is a good rule not to carry a spare tire too long. Inter change It with the other tire every month. Of course It should be carried covered. Whan left out of service too long. It's en durance and longevity Is seriously handicapped. J OP R NAI.
