Naturally the announcement of this

Another way of giving nn idea nf
the large number of motor enra in the
state would be to put them end to
end in one long line along the Pacific
highway. If we average the length of
a car na eleven feet, which ia n con
servntive average, we would have n
line of cars reaching along the high
way from Portland to (lie wuuthern
boundary of Hip atnlc, nnd seventy-nix
milea into California or n distance of
four hundred nnd sixteen miles.
Aa there la n totai or -M50 miles
of atate highway in Oregon there nre
approximately forty-four automobiles
for every mile of highway in the
state. At thia rnte our ronds would
be very crowded if nil the ownera of
enra decided to travel nt tho same
time. With these figurea in mind, it
in little wonder that the rotudrntH find

The front wheel drive nutoinohile ia
hnving its first real test at the 500

In this event, two models of this I
unique type are entered.. Their nch- j
ievement. will he an important fac
tor in fut.ure nutoinohile development.
These two front wheel drive cars
nre Cliff Ihiranfa "Junior Might,"
driven by !nve l.ewi, veteran of race
paths, nnd n Miller Special, with
Hennett Hill nt Ibe wheel.
iHirnnt'a car hna been nt the track
for several weeks nnd has been prim
ed for thia event. The late .liinmie
Murphy, who wna killed in n dirt
track raco nt Syracuse, N. , Inst
September, had the car built, for him
by Harry Miller, famous motor build
er nf l,oa Angeles.
Loss Skidding
After Murphy's ileal h iMiranl
bought the car from Murphy's estate
nnd pu Hnve Lewis to work on it.
Lewis, who is familiar with nil mo
tors since the inception of motoring.
Is particularly cnthuainntlr nbout thia
type of car. He believes he will be
able to drive it through the treacher
ous turns of the Indianapolis track
with less skidding fling any o( be
conventional type of curs.
Kreedom from skidding is one of
Ihe chief nilvnnlages claimed for thia
typo of automobile. In addition its
owner claims more efficient applies
lion of power and lower center of
graviiy, p'rmitting the enr to stick
to the road ut high apeeda.
Pull, Not Push
Jn thia car the ditferentlal is on
tho front axle. The drive shnft ia in
front of the Inotor, nnd steering is
Rt'couipliHhed through universul joints.
According to Lewis, there is little
or no difference between the steering
of thia type of car anil that of the
regulnr type. In fact, be snys it is
easier to drivo off tho front wheels,
is pulled rntlier than pushed
There ia n tin turn I loss of power,
he adds, in generating speed in a
motor n ml transferring it to the renr
wheels. This, it is believed, the front
wheel drive auto eliminates.

Kor from these tube-N. it hns been

use as a power fuel. This discovery
has been made by the fuel resenrch

The most profitable of Ihe tubers,
the hoard finds, would be the. Jerusa

its tuber below ground, lion a plant

The profit in the eitractinn of
power alcohol from the artichoke Is
seen ill the plants ease of growth
in any well-drained "oil and under
the most difficult conditions. Little
labor is needed to cultivate it, and
it propagates itself for a milliner of
years.
Kxperinients are still being con
ducted on this source to find the
best conditions under which the fuel
can be extracted.
Potatoes and mangolds are two
other sources from which power al
cohol his been taken, but at a com
mercial loss. (Jerninny had been
furnishing H.'i per cent of its alcohol
from potatoes before the wnr. Now
this production has fallen to 15 per
cent of its output because of the
general opinion Hint a greater use
can be bad of potatoes ns food
rather than ns a source of alcohol
At present wholesale pricea for
potatoes in lirent Hritnin. they
would Tir'np the price of ite alcohol
"to about seven shillings, or SIJVH r

of reach for alcohol production,.
This is also true of mangolds, al
though the extraction process is less
costly.

Then, with the city engineers
working on the improvement of traf
