There is no need for long waits
for parts for automobiles in Eugene,
for the Nordllng l'arta company is a
firm organized for no other purpose
than to furnish anything needed in
this line on very short notice. Tho

Not so long ago, the average life
of a motor car waa rated from two
to three years; but today it ia'from

pany, local distributor of Timkon
tapered roller bearings.
Mr. Nordling Bnid, "Within a few

to be common. Manufacturers arc
continually working out improve

CAR CARES
When a car is in a backward mo
tion, never shift the' geurs until the
car has been bcuught to a complete
stop, failure to do this will put
great strain on the entire car and
may result iu a stripped gear, '
It is a good plan to wipe off all
tools on a bit of oily waste before
restoring them to the tool-box. The
oil deposited on the metal keeps it
from rusting, which is a trouble to
be guarded uguinst.
Hard substances which collect on
the windshield or other glass con be
easily removed by slipping a safety
razor blade lu a spring paper clip. Uj
merely pushing the blade along the
surface nil the spots will be cut awny
and the glass will not bo scratched.
Spnrk plugs should be the snappiest
workers around the mechanism of
car, and for this reason they should
be kept clean of oil and carbon. Noth
ing conduces more to spark plug
cleanliness than gasoline treated to
prevent accumulation of carbon in the
vital parts of the engine.
Because every part must bo made
to the highest standard and machined
to extremely close limits, so that it
will fit proporly nnd give tho utmost
in performance, replacement parts ot
a car should be genuine and not uni
talion. Tho price of cheap purts may
he moro attractive, but sacrifices are
made in quality and safety. Many
counterfeit parts are only one-third
as strong as the genuine.
Because the core of the radiator
serves as a sieve through which dust
is constantly drawn in tbe suction
of the fsn, this part of the csr be
comes prematurely old in appearance.
By the occasional use of a strong
spray of water the from, of tbe car
may be kept bright and clesn.
Frequently colls are replaced when
it is unnecessary. Try adjusting tbe
points before you buy a new coil.
Missing often Is caused by tbe break
er points being set too close nnd the
spark plug points not properly plac
ed.
Be careful when removing tho dis
tributor not to break the carbon
brush in tho center ot the distributor
head.

Without the aid ot electricity, the
gasoline motor car cannot move un
der Its own power. Over 16,000,000
motor vehicles are now in use snd the
number is constantly increasing.
There is accordingly a tremendous
market for electrical and battery service
It Is to be nored here that some
of the units which aro used in the
construction of the automobile are
not made by the car manufacturers.
Chief among these are the electrical
units the generator, Btarting motor,
gnitor nnd battery. These are pur
chased outright from equipment man
ufacturers.
Authorized Stations Established
The equipment manufacturers hnve
assumed responsibility for the proper
operation ot their appnratus iu ser
vice. In recognition of this respon
sibility, authorized service stations
are established. Tho rapid snd con

the representativt of the equipment
manufacturer in its commuoity; an ex
tension of the manufacturers' own
service department. It is the channel
through which the equipment nianu
fscturer distributes parts for main
tabling his apparatus. It is tbe place
at which tbe equipment manufactur
er considers the apparatus should be
serviced so that it will be inoperative
only the shortest possible time snd
maintsined Jn as satisfactory a man
ner as the manufacturer himself would
maintain it. This implies a close ob
servance and careful interpretation of
tbe service policies of tbe equipment
manufacturers. The authorized ser
vice station accordingly has direct
contract relations with the equipment
manufacturers he represents.
Strvlo Is Described
Contracts are made by the man
ufacturer only after careful investi
gation as to the electrical specislists
ability, equipment and location. This
constitutes one ot the strongests rec
ommendations in favor of tbe author
ized station. Service- manuals, fur
nished by the manufacturers to their
service representatives contain full
information as to how to locate trou
ble in apparatus and what to do to
place it in an operating condition.
Itepresentatires of the equipment
manufacturers call to see authorized
service stations at regular intervals.
The purpose of these calls is to assist
service station operators in every
possible way. The authorized repre
sentatives obtain a great deal of val
uable counsel and information by co
operating fully with tbe manufactur
ers' representatives at the time of
such calls.
Before extending a service fran
chise the manufacturer has made
careful investigation as to the service
man's ability, his standing with car
dealers and car owners. .Having en
tered into the contract, the service
representative exhibits the service
signs ot the manufacturer ho rep
resents, indicating to the public that
he has special equipment and tools
and stock ot genuine factory parts,
and that he has received technical in
formation and instructions direct from
tbe manufacturer as to how best to
keep the equipment in an operating
condition. 15
Car Owners Assured
- Through this arrangement the
equipment manufacturer has given to
car owners and dealers the assurance,
of dependable service and advertises
the fact.
On account of the technical infor
mation and instructions provided by
the equipment manufacturers, the au
thorised service station's best able to
render "preventative service." On
account of his knowledge of the equip
ment, he is best able to educate the
car dealers to its different units work
ing In harmony. lie is able to explain
to his customers the cause ot the
trouble so that they may tajte pre
caution against further neglect.
In order that good service may be
given there must be sufficient busi
ness in the community to justify the
existence of the specialized electrical
service station. For this rcuson it
is advisable, particularly in the small
er towns, for the service station to
represent in a service capacity as
many of the starting, lighting and ig
nition manufacturers as possible, tak
ing into consideration the number of
cars in the territory.
FOUR GROUPS CONTROL ACCIDENTS
Manuscturer, Driver, Pedestrian and Government Agencies
Must Co-onerate In Work
By A. B. C. HARDY
(Member of Traffic planning and
Safety Committee, X. A. C. C.)
"Anything occurring unexpectedly"
is the dictionary definition of an ac
cident. When it is remembered that
st the present time there are more
than 18,000,000 automotive vehicles
being operated daily in this country
by more then 18,000,000 different in
dividuals it is not surprising that oc
casionally the unexpected occurs with
unpleasant results..
So long as the human element is
involved the unexpected will happen,
but it is within the ability of humsn
ingenuity to reduce the frequency of
these occurrences snd the resulting
effects.
Four Groups In Control
Curtailment of automobile acci
dents to a minimum is in the hands
of four general groups whose efforts
must be directed toward one common
end if the ultimate in success is to
be attained. These groups are the
manufacturer, the driver the pedes
trisn and the governmental agencies.
Much has been accomplished by each
of these groups but considerably more
must be done.
Having been the first to face the
safety problem, the manufacturer has
advanced materially toward its solu
tion. Ho has pioneered every me
chanical safety device until it is a
recognized fuct that every automobile
placed on the market toduy is a Bate
car to drive. He has used, and daily
is using, infinite pains to make sure
that everything that goes into each
automobile is perfect so that the com
pleted car will be strong and capable
of withstanding the unexepected, lie
sees to it that it is equipped with such
safety factors as improved brakes,
dependable lights and signals so that
tho driver will have at his command
everything needful to cope with an
emergency, 'llie manufacturer also
sees that sufficient service stations
are maintained so that every car own
er is able to have .these vital parts of
bis autoinobilo kept iu good condition
at all times.
Safe Drivers Needed
The driver group is not open to
the same generalization as is 'that
of the manufacturer, inasmuch as it
is composed of all classes from the
skillful driver to the novice, from
the courteous to the road hog. Much
can be done however, to make them
all safe drivers.
Every driver should know tbe rules
of the road, and show his knowledge
of - tbem by practicing them at all
times. Tractice is better then preach
ing to teach the other fellow what
to do and it is also moro courteous.
Be careful and considerate. Tbe
careful driver does not speed into a
jam, if ho is forced into one be re
mains cool and gets out of it. The
considerate driver gives the right of
way to children, the aged and tho
infirm. ' He alio stays on his own side
of the road, giving cars traveling
faster an opportunity to psss. In
other wordB he uses the same cour
tesy he accords other pedestrians
when walking.
The autoraobilist wbo hss driven
hundreds ot thousands of miles with
keen enjoyment and without serious
mishap is one who does not hog the
road, wbo does nut try to outbluff
other drivers, who keeps far to tbe
right when driving up hills and round
ing curves, who gives a plainly seen
and easily understood signal to other
drivers before slowing down or chang
ing his direction of travel, who takes
plain common sense aa his mentor.
Pedestrian Has Rights
Frequently it has been asked, "what
rights, if any, has the pedestrian?"
Let it be said now and for all time
that be or she has the same righta
as does the automobilist. These in
clude obeying all traffic signals and
rules, stopping to let traffic go by,
using courtesy and common sense and
keeping alert consiautiy.
Small sympathy is' extended the
driver who disregards all rules snd
warnings as he nonchalantly drives
in front ot a speeding railroad train,
but how does he differ from the pe
destrian who blindly walks in the path
ot an automobile?
On the other hand the pedestrian
has a right to expect that the auto
mobile driver will also observe the
rules and will accord him due cour
tesy. The driver who through care

CLEVELAND SI
23 Chassis Parts Are Oiled Automatically
In Just Two Seconds
Would you not like to be fissured of in
creased car life from the motor' ear you buy?
To you as well as every other car owner, an
automobile represents a necessary unit of
transportation, which must be kept in ser
vice day-iu and day-out at a minimum of
expense. In addition, after a satisfying per
iod of service that car should command a
Jiigh resale value or it is not a sound invest
ment. In considering the new 1925 Cleveland
Six with the famous "One Shot" automatic
chassis lubrication system (covered by Bow
en Products Corporation patents) you are
assured of not only extra years of service
but freedom from repair bills and the trou
blesome, ever-occurring job of manual lubri
cation of the chassis.
"With this "One Shot" oiling system, a
plunger projects-through the floorboard near
the driver's heel. By stepping on it, you
lubricate 23 points on the chassis. It takes
just two seconds!
Consider the convenience. You never use
a grease gun or nn oil can. You never have
to get out nnd get under to lubricate each
part of the chassis individually. You never
have to be without your car for several hours
while it is being lubricated. "Whenever a
squeak develops down goes the plunger and
the squeak is silenced. Whether you nro
moving along or standing still,' "One Shot"
works with perfect efficiency.
Then consider the economy! Because
it's so simple nnd easy to keep all chassis
parts correctly lubricated, you will never
neglect that important operation. Thus the
life of your car will be prolonged and yon
will never have to pay the repair bills which
are associated with inefficient methods of
lubrication.
In connection with the "One Shot" auto
matic oiling system, where oil is applied to
the spring bolts, just enough of the seepage
works down into the spring leaves and keeps
them from rusting, stiffening and sometimes
breaking. Hiding comfort is also increased
because the springs are always working ef
ficiently. Cleveland cars equipped with this system
have been driven ten and twenty thousand
miles and then disassembled only to find less
than one half thousandths wear on shackle
bolts and other parts which have a tendency
to wear rapidly with most cars, due to im
proper oiling.
Take ten minutes of your time and in
spect this phenomenal development which
takes the drudgery out of owning a ear. ou
would then be convinced like thousands who
are now using it, that, vou could not aflord
to be without the "Ono Shot" lubrication
svstem.
