LEE TIRES Plain and Puncture-proof Weed Chains Horns Grease Guns Spark Plugs CAR SHOULD BE WATCHED FOR THE FIRST 200 MILES A majority of new driven, and i turpritingly large perceniage of sea soned motorists, will do fnort to harm a new automobile engine in the firm 2110 miles of driving than in the following 2O00 miles, according to A. C. Stevens, manager in charge of the Portland branch of the Winton Motor Car company. "No matter how carefully an en gine may be built, it requires a cer tain amount of running to get the parta thoronghly worked in. and the treatment given a motor during its first 200 milet of driving governt, to a large extent, its future service. "There is a strong temptation that even seasoned motorists succumb to attempt a good many 'stunts' during the first two or three days driving that wil be seldom repeated throughout a season. The man who buys a new car is generally as eager to 'see what she will do' as ia a youngster to take a watch apart to find out what makes it tick. "About the first thing tetted it the speed of the car, and on a nice level piece of road the throttle is opened up wide. A stiff hill or a bit of heav ly road is Ihe next thing in order, or. perhaps, it it a long trip with a full load of pattcngers, during which the new motor is subjected to at many tests as the driver can think of. "The strains to which the working parts are put while they are still 'green' too frequently result in over heating, with the attendant train of troubles that materially shorten the service given by the motor and make the maintenance and operating coat much greater than it need lie. "If motoriits would learn to re tsrkt themselves to a speed of 15 to 18 miles an hour for the first 200 or 300 miles and see to it that plenty of the right kind of lubricant is used, they would find that the precaution would return dividends later on in better and cheaper service."

Tonight Albany is to see "Potash k Perlmutter," the famous comedy of the cloak and suit trade that comes to us direct from its second year in New York City and that made nearly a million men and women there laugh until they cried before it started on tour. "Potash tc Perlmutter" is the dramatisation of the characters and incidents in Montague Glasa' widely read stories in the Saturday Evening Post and Manager A. H. Woods fit tingly announces it as an "up to date garment in three pieces, trimmed with a thousand laughs and guaran teed to fit all sizes and ages." In this three act comedy Abe and Mor ris are seen in real life together with Feldman, the conscienceless lawyer, Marks Pazinsky, the buyer, Moiart Rabiner, the talesman and all the other delightful characters of Mr. Glass' stories who (play Important rolri In a story of absorbing interest. BIG AUTOMOBILE RACE FOR $100,000 PRIZE A thousand mile race for $100,000 it the latest project considered by the Indianapolis motor speedway man agement. A. C. Newby, builder of National cars and a director of the speedway. is father of the plan to stage a con test so far ahead of anything that has ever been held that there will be no comparison. It promises to be the biggest thing in racing history. Newby plans to make the race strictly invitational, limiting entry ex clusively to makes of cars that have won previous 500-mile contests. Four such makes are eligible, Marmon, Na tional, Peugeot, and Delage, with possibly a fifth after the next 500 mile race has been won. With five machines each, this wounld make a field of 25 cars, the cream of the rac ing world, with the pick of drivers. A qualifying speed of 90 miles an hour for 20 laps of the speedway it to be necettary, and the race is to start at 6 a. m. Drivers are to take tricks during the contest of 250 miles each, two drivers to a car. FARMERS OF IOWA MAY BUT 50,000 AUTOS EA0 OUR WANT ADS Iowa farmers contributed a billion dollars to the general wealth of the great Hawkeye state as a result of the bumper crops of 1914 and the boast is made and not questioned that the state's pocketbook could show $8,000,000,000 on appraisal, taking in to account its rich farm lands, its live stock and its manufacturing in terests. Its wealth per capita, figur ing on farm wealth alone, is $1682, while a rough estimate would give the complete returns at least $3500 per head. Evidently Iowa's middle name is Prosperity, and because of these evi dences of wealth it would not seem im possible that the Hawkeyes will buy at least 50,000 cars during the present year, a careful estimate that has been made by Secretary of State Allen, who takes a keen interest in motoring affairs ind is justly proud of the fact that Iowa ranks sixth In the United States in the ownership of cars.
