Newspaper Page TextPage Eight THE EUGENE GUARD Monday Evening, Ft, Auto iliow week In Eugene will bo celebrated at tbe Western Auto Supply coiupauy store by a bust of new accessories for tbe automobile. No bootb will be at tbe (bow, due to space limitations, but every item will be attractively described at tbe show rooms, says C. M. Urey, local manag er, Botu Mr. Urey, and tbe assistant uiunager, J. K. Stone, will be on lisud at all tunes to demonstrate and to oi'rihe tbe new accessories and ne cessities. Since tb eestablisbmcnt of tbe store two years ago, the number of arti cles carried in stock bus doubled, snys tbe manager, aud the business of the firm has increased accordingly, "i'eo plo in JCugene' are very cureful in their selection of accessories for their automobiles," says Mr. Urey, "und they demand products of very high quulity. . Articles are selected with good taste, and tbe average cur looks like a well-appointed home, with ev erything, matching the car." A number of new and interesting things have been received lately, suys Mr. Urey. A spot light that clumps on tbe car, thereby eliminating tbe necessity of drilling a hole for it, a nw kind of cleaning cloth that will not scratch even the duiutiest finish, and red spot hub cups- for Jj'ordB are among the late arrivals. A JJarcey courtesy light, one for each side of the car, lias been receiv ed, and is meeting with a great deal . of favor. This light will put auy cur in "ship shape"" condition,, for it shows red on tbe left or port side, and green on the right or sturboard. Other new articles are l'ermatex ra diator compound; radio solder, and the world famous "Monkey Grip" tire re puir outfits. Starting simultaneously with the suto show wilt come the annual Wes tern Auto supply sales, which will continue for the rest of the month of February. . , Maxwell Sets Mark Climbing Mountain at Tice Hill, Calif. For the first time an automobile bas climbed to the summit of Tice Hill, the famous testing ground for army motorcycles near Bakeraficld, Cnl. The car Which made the suc cessful ascent was a Maxwell stock touring car carrying five passengers. "Tice hill has always been-regarded an an Insurmountable wall to any mo tor car," says G. 0. Moir, local Max well dealer. "It has been a proving ground for motorcycles and only mo torcycles of the greatest power, pilot ed by tbe most skillful and daring drivers. No one ever dreamed thot any automobile would ever be able to turn the summit. Thia Maxwell accomplishment is added evidence of the increased power and- many-Improvements made In the good Maxwell by Chrysler engineers in the past year." The difficulty of the stunt success fully undertaken by tbe Maxwell may well be Imagined when more is known concerning Tice Hill. The averugc grade Is about 60 per cent almost a wall. It l 805 feet long. It has no roadway not even wheel tracks to follow. No chainB were used and tbe cur carried Its standard tire equip ment of 5.25-inch balloons. The climb Is regnrdod as the moat difficult ever attempted by an automobile. Paul Pirtle, Well Known Salesman, Joins Olds Staff Paul O. I'lrtlc, one of Eugene's host known automobile Biilesmen, has joined the . Bales force of the local Oldsmobile agency, announces Frank I'olkins, manager. Mr. I'lrtlo will make tbe third salesman added to the fust growing firm. Although the local agency has been organised but six months, it bus developed into a force of three salesmen and as many ... i, ;,. linHinpHH is steadily In creasing, says Mr. I'olkins, and more additions may be made later.

CLEAR SIGHT AND EASE HARD TO COMBINE WITH WINDSHIELD For the Most Part, Windshields Impair Vision, But at the Same Time Are Imoortant as Convenience to Driver -'WuRry i(j Device Suggested for Opening or Shutting Windshield. It Can Be Made to Work Either One-Half, as at Right, or Both Halves, as at Left, at the Same Time. By ISRAEL KLEIN Straight ahead of you, as you Bit In 3ur car, is the part that has gained little attention end needs much correction. It's not the engine. It's the wind shield. ' Windshields, at the most, are a dis advantage. They impair clear vision. That's most important in driving, especially in bad weather and in con gested districts. But, for the comfort of the driver and passengers, the windshield is a necessity. It keeps out wind, dust, You Buy the Service Let the Other Man Pay forAhe New Part You get more miles per dollar out of a used car, if you buy it of a responsible firm because you do not pay for the manufacturers and distributors profit. That's the new part that the original purchaser wears off. The profit has been worn off of these but the service is still there .

The new good Maxwell has long led in value all other cars in its field, because as a dollar-for-dollar buy its quality could not be equaled. Not only in performance and riding qualities does it surpass all fours, but these new and lower prices now make it a better investment than ever before, and great values are made still greater.

How to compromise these two points U the problem automotive en gineers are facing today. To afford clear vision, and yet keep the car enclosed. One-Inch Gap Clear vision requires no obstruc tion of glass between the driver and the ground abead of him. This means an open windshield. To produce this effect, engineers have decided that a slanting wind shield of a certaiu design cun be opened an inch between the upper and lower halves to give the driver suf ficient clear vision. It has been fig ured that the proper windshield, opened one inch, would afford clear vision of from SO to 100 feet ahead of the car, and up to 10 feet above tho ground. At the same time, a design has been formulated which, wben opened, would also keep out rain and dust. The visor helps that. Tho Ideal To prevent rain being blown in from tbe lower half of the windshield, it is suggested that this part be tilted slightly forward, while the upper half be made so that it affords an aper ture of one inch high. This h considered the ideal wind shield, tt Is rarely seen and then chiefly on high-priced closed cars. The most general type now in use is tbe kind that has a slant of about 5 to 10 degrees toward the driver, from bottom to top, and that opens practically midway. Another suggestion for improved wiudhield design,' is the installment of a device that would help the driver open or shut the windshield with the least bother. A cranking device, worked from the dush, might achieve this. It would relieve the driver from taking both his hands off the steering wheel, while driving, in order to open or shut the windshield. It is a troublesome task today, that can be remedied. Teaching Children Road Rules Urged Teaching children in' the public schools the reason for traffic rules, will incrpaso their respect for police and ' traffic officers and create a habitual obedience on their part to traffic regulations, which will be di rectly reflected in a lower accident death rate among school children, according to the public safety depart ment of the California State Automo bile association. .5. The now Chrysler Is finding great favor all over tho country, says (J. C. Moir local dealer, and he euthusast ically declares that where the re sponse is so great, there most be fcoine reason. He speaks glowingly of the car, and of it says: "The new Chryslerizcd Maxwell has made remarkublo progress in sales in the last year. There is a reason. If you could make a tour of the factories where the good Maxwell is made we could show you scores of ways in which goodness is built into the car. Thousnuds of contented men mill women who , are driving good Maxwells need no such factory dem onstrations.
