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.

J. H. Bollea, with the Remy Elec

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.

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.

a chemical by which they expert to
identify origins! numbers nml other
marks obliterated by auto thieves.
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.
Clllos De-CentralUIno
"In addition to tax relief we nro
beginning to get awny from the high
cost of congestion. Cities are find
i,im .tliH it it more satisfactory to
jgrow outward, establishing number
1 of retail neighborhood centers, than
I to try to crowd in everything down
! town. This kind of growth is being
! planned for in some cases, but
throughout all our Urge cities It la

Turn to Right is

Ml LAX, Italy, May 0. 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

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

season. This annual vacation touring
is a constant stimulus to the motor
industry, as It gives the purchaser

his automobile in addition to the regu
