Elaborate plans are underway for the construction of one o f the roost modern and completely up-to-date automotive garages to be found .u Oregon, according to Mr. Abbey, who reported the purchase of a quar ter block business lot at the corner o f Ninth and Bartlett streets. Work will start on this large strucure some time in the fall. The W alter W.

Prepared b y Cenerai M otori No. 9— COUNTRY DRIVING x discussing saaiCEs we ipoke of our cars as transportation systems . . . our own private railroads, so to speak, with home for our terminal. As a rule we engineers behind the steering wheel work only on local runs . . . back and forth from the office, stores, and the rest of our regular stops. But every now and then, and especially when vacation time rolls around, we're likely to want to change our run. And one fine day there we are, out on the main line, at the throttle of our “Overland Limited," if you please. Railroads put only their best engineers on impor tant runs like that. What the railroad men mean by the best engineer, is the one who has taken his train out and brought it in, time after time, year after year, without a thing to regret. Now there's one thing about this engineer that explains his good record better than anything else. He believes in signs. All along the way there are signals that tell him what to do, and he does exactly what they say. When a semaphore says slow down, he slows down. Whenever he gets the sign of a curve or grade, he adjusts his speed accord ingly. Every red and green and amber light that comes winking through the darkness mean* a definite order that he'd never dream of ignoring. And when a flare warns him of danger, he just stops until he gets the go-ahead. Now, when we pull out of our station and on to the mam track, if we are good engineers we'll take good heed of our signals as they come flashing by—“Curve,” "Steep Hill.” red light— "Stop.” But along comes one that say* "Intersection,” and there doesn't happen to be any car passing on that other road. Or one that says "School, go slow” and there aren’t any children about. Or "Slippery w’hen we*,” but today the road is dry. And what’s the result? Why, a good many of us get to taking those signals with a grain of salt, and. after a while with so much salt that if we aren't careful those warnings may lose their meaning. It isn't hard to imagine what would happen if the railroad engineer got into that habit. He wouldn't be an engineer very long. No matter how many times his warnings prove unneces sary, he still goes on accepting them as gospel truth. And people who drive thousands of miles every year tell us they have trained themselves to the very same habits as the engineers. We can just as easily form one habit as the other, and it pays to form the habit of automatically act ing on the advice of our roadside signs. So it isn’t enough just to have our engine in good shape, and to watch our fuel and oil, or even to follow the rule of not driving too many hours at a stretch. Those things are highly important, but it is just as important to watch for our signals and follow them religiously. Then we can look forward to sending back that evcr-welcome message—“ Arrived safe after pleasant trip." Jack’s Second Hand Store is s till.
