Page Four The Capital Journal. Salem, Oregon 1 Silvertowns Included In Goodrich Cut Motorists will all be glad to know that the lamous Silvertown cord anti-skid, safety tread tires are included in the recent 20 per cent price reduction which brought tire prices back to pre war basis. Among tires Silver town is the name that Instantly conveys the thought of the high est quality. Motor car manufac turers and dealers are quick to emphasize to their prospects that their cars are equipped with BH vertowns knowing that neither ex planation nor argument is neces- This reduction"brinKs Goodrich prices to a point 15 per cent below the pre-war schedules, as repre sented by the 1913 level. It Is rather startling to find that in 1910 tire prices were 115 per cent higher than the Goodrich prices today. Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce, has recently suggested tiiat when price reductions are made present prices snoum pa shown, compared with the prices en same article one year ago. in me case of Goodrich this would hnw (hat last Nov. tires were reduced about 15 per cent and on May 2 Goodrich reduced prices on e,very size and style of their tires Including Sllvertown 20 per cent. A tangible expression of the greater mileage service now being tilt into tires is reflected by the higher basis of adjustment gen erally used by the leading compan ies. Thus, if a tire proves defec tive today it Is adjusted, under the Goodrich plan, on the basis of 6000 miles If It is fabric, and 8000 miles If It Is of cord construction. Con trast thU with the adjustment basis in use a few years ago, 1. a., 3500 miles, and it is easy to com prehend the great progress made in tire manufacture. It Is not a far-fetched conclusion to say that tires today. give from 50 to 100 per cent greater mileage than they did a few years ago. Therefore, If the tire companies were selling mileage today at the 1915 price lerel, tires would ac tually cost from $5 to $26 more than at present. The conclusion l obvious, therefore, that based on Comparative service tires cost less today than ever before. Irish American K. J. Dunne, of Mason City, la., (left), and f. P.

Daniel Froliman's hobby is motor cycling. The story leaked out In Los Angeles yesterday when a lady reporter was sent out by one of the local dailies to interview the thea ter man who is sojourning here temporarily in the interest of hlfe business lnterprises. "What fes your principal hobby or sporting pastime?" ventured the lady re porter. "I have but one" replieji Mr. Frohman, "and that is riding a motorcycle. I have several auto mobiles at my home in New York, but for sport and healthful out door exercise, I prefer to ride a motorcycle. Sometimes I play golf but nothing invigorates me so much, or gives me more pleasure than to don my riding suit and puttees and go for a ride about the New York parks and boule vard system. I know that certain of my friends think I'm crazy be cause I ride a motorcycle, but that is only because they never rode motorcycles themselves, and don't know what real sport Is." For the benefit of those who have never heard of Mr. Frohman, they have but to refer to almost any billboard in their neighbor hood, no matter where they may reside. Very likely th,elr eyes would meet the printed expression, "Daniel Frohman presents such and such an actor or actress in such and such a play." Mr. Froh man Is undoubtedly one of the foremost figures In the theatrical world.

Used Cars Must Be Good, Claim GfHasslerHead "The used car business has suf fered much of late years because unscrupulous dealers have de ceived purchasers regarding the condition of the cars sold," said A. R. Arnot, president of the Hassler Pacific company. "How the legi timate dealer might overcome this impression has been a serious problem for the past two or three years. . ., "But I received a letter the oth er day from a used car dealer that offers one solution. This man wrote that the prospective buyer would in nine cases out of ten ac cept a car as we claimed it to be if it was equipped with Hassler shock absorbers. "He said that the prospective buver of a used car is always looking for the weak point about the machine, due to abuse. But when he finds it has been operated with Hasslers he is willing to be lieve it is in better than normal condition for the length of time it has been in service. "The application of this princi ple to the used car business is new although it is simply the re-verse of of the idea of most buyers of new cars, that they can get longer life from their Fords if they have Hass lers applied. The dealer 1 quoted above declares he will pay consid erably more for a car equipped with Hassler shock absorbers, even though It does not appear to be in better condition than other cars offered him."
