Ship outfit toi The new demonstration chassis of the OliHmobile company that are now being demonstated throughout the country has a motto that reads: "We can do anything that any auto mobile can do, and we show you how we do it." The demonstrators are working out nf the larger cities, being routed ao that virtually all sections of the coun try will be visited. The chassis are fitted with two comfortable aeats so that anyone can accompany the drivers and cloBaly watch the performance. The absence uf bodiea and floorboards permits a good view of the power transmis sion units while in action. At the rear of each chassis, over the axle, is a box containing a com plete assortment of parta, including crank shaft, cam shaft, clutch faces, etc. These permit closeup views of the vital parta of the car aod aaaut in the driver's explanations of the functions of each and every part of the Oldsmobile. These parts boards enables even a novice in things automotive to quick ly grasp the function of each part of the engine. The same applies to the clutch and other power transmission units. In fact the demonstration chassis produce a "first reader" course in automobile engineering, giv ing a fundamental knowledge of what makes the wheels go around" that is valuable to all motor car owners or prospective owners. Beside giving this Instruction to those not fully informed and unfamil iar with automotive mechanics, the demonstrators also are showing the capabilities of the Oldsmobile in every possible way. This includes hill climb ing, idling, making runs in high gear and other testa calculated to prove the power and stamina of an auto mo blie. I Remy Electric Man in Eugene J. H. Bollea, with the Remy Elec tric company, of Anderson, Indiana, was a Eugene viator for several days, making his headquarters with Brak- el and White, local battery service men. A new plant has been found necessary for the construction of Klaxon horns, he said, due to the big demand. The horns are handled here by Brakel and White. Mr. Bolles was. loud in his praise o Eugene, and of business conditions here. Incidentally, he purchased a deer head from K. C Eckert, local taxidermist. Sit while you walk.

Given by Alfred Reevea, General Manager of tha National Automobile Chamber of Commeroe Skidding Viewed as Reckless Driving Skidding Is viewed as reckless driv ing in the 1024 report of the Con necticut (ttate motor vehicle . depart ment. The three leading causes of automobile accidents in the state were inattention on the part of the driver, faVure to grant right of way and skidding; 1,780 skidding nccident? were recorded laat year- Tho three causes of skidding, ac cording to Bobbins B. Stoeckcl, state motor vehicle commissioner, in a re cent pamphlet, arc wet and slippery roadways, too much speed and im proper driving. Bemedies are the use of non-skid chains and cnutlnn against making runners out of the rear wheels. A further statement by Commis sioner Stoeckel is that a skidding ac cident may no longer be considered an unavoidable mishap and that tho time ia coming when cases of skid ding accidents will be punished ns reckless driving. Enforcement au thorities will demnnd more knowledge of the causese of skidding and insist that the operator so conduct himself that none of the personal causes by which he contributes to t lie skidding accident are chargeable to him.

When the serial numbers have been filed or chipped off, snd covered with other numerals, it is said this chemical will bring" out traces of the original and true mark that otherwise would be invisible. Through its means, therefore, po lice expect to be able to trace the ow&erihip of the stolen car. J7FKOUTS to remove the federal I war-time tax on automobiles will t be ono of the fundamental steps in maintaining prosperity both iu the automobile trade and in general busl' ness, In the opinion of Alfred Keeves, general manager of the National Autoinobilo Chamber of Commerce, in a talk before the directors of the Buffalo Automobile Dealers Associa tion. "A saying of $31 In the cost of the average car to the consumsr can be brought about by the rempral of these federsl taxes," said Mr. Reeves, "and there is every evidence that the motorists in the country will make vigorous demands to have this reduc tion brought about. The atttomoblle industry now pays sll the taxes which other industries pay and at the aame time bears the burden of the special wartime sales tsx. Governmental au thorities have consistently acknowl edged that theae levies are inequitable and should be removed when con ditions permit. The probability of a $100,000,000 federal surplus gives reason to expect that this special uu on motor transportation will be en tirely removed or very largely modi fied in tho near future. Outlook Good t The automobile outlook is good. There are five major puints which indicate that wo may look for a period of conservative prosperity. "Thoso are: 1. Lower taxes. 2. Suburban development 3. lletter financing. i. 'See America First.' 5. The two-car family. "The extent to which tax relief on motor transportation will affect gen eral business favorably may be rea lized when we consider that the auto niohilo Industry employs more thon ;1,11HJHI0 perions directly or indi rectly. "In addition to the purchasing power of this volume of employment, Hie success of the automobile busi- i ness is Important to other lines of ef fort when wo realise that the sutomo hiio inHustrv is a customer for 10 per cent of aluminum produc tion. Til! per cent of plate glass, fill per cent of upholstery leather. 80 per cent of crude rubber, 15 per cent of hard wood lumber. "!t effect on rnllroad prosperity may be noted when we realise that motor transportation products pro vido tho ateam roids with more than 2,000,0110 carlnnds nf freight annually.

Driving to the right is now compulsory in all Italy. Formerly the rule was to turn to the left In the cities and to tho right in the country. With tho in crease in motor traffic this brought about great confusion. There is turning to the right now In all European countries except England, German-Austria, Toland, Sweden and Hungary. Madrid sticks to the left turning, but all the rest of Spain turns to the right. panics has adopted the standard of ono-third cash dawn and twelve monthly payments. Due to the sta bilising effect of this association, to the getreral care of the dealers in se lecting their risks, and to a growing appreciation of the economic places i of motor transport, the bankers are! much 1 more receptive toward good ; automobile paper today than they hare ever been before, j Touring Movement ! " 'See America First' is a slogan which ia gaiuing renewed importance. In the early days of the business the motoring enthusiasts were particu larly Interested in touring. Then came the development of the car in every-day use with the summer travel element less important. "Today, however, we find that thsre is an increasing Interest in our national playgrounds. Tbera were 1.0&U.0O0 motorists visiting our na tional parks in 1U24, an increase of HI per cent over the previous year. There were more than ten and one- third million motor tourists registered st the national forests during the past season. This annual vacation touring is a constant stimulus to the motor industry, as It gives the purchaser sn economical vacation by means of his automobile in addition to the regu lar uso which he makea of iu Two-Car Family '"Another far-reaching trend which is becoming more and mora prevalent is the use of two cars per family.
