If the things said by delegates at the Western Oregon Traffic association are true then we of the inland cities should make a fight for justice in freight rates. • • • Ordinarily we would say that this situation Is Eugene’s business and does not concern us.

That is—a slow car. Now we see how well the tariff forces are op Almost every car can do sixty miles an hour. And manufacturers are proud of the high speeds posing those whose beliefs are contrary to their to which their cars can be brought in case of nec own. Until a few months ago it seemed that any revision of tariff, save in the case of farm pro essity, desire to “show off,” or emergency. ducts, would be downward. As yet there is no car invented that cannot go faster than twenty-five miles an hour. But think, But by using the Hoover argument that a if there were such a car, how much safer and hap higher tariff is the foundation of farm relief, the pier millions of daddies in this country would feel. protectionists spread the word that sweeping up They would know their sons and daughters, ward revisions are neqessary all along the line to when taking out the car, would not do reckless save American insdutry from foreign competition. atunets just to appear bold.

T h e gasoline tank Is b u ilt in tegral with the cowl and is unusually sturdy because it is made o f heavy sheet steel, terne plated to prevent rust o r corrosion. An additional factor o f strength is the fact that it is composed o f only two pieces, instead o f three o r fo u r, and Is electrically welded— not soldered. Because o f the location o f the tan k, the entire flow o f gasoline is un even, natural flow— fo llo w in g the nuturul law o f gravity. T h is Is the simplest am i most direct way o f supplying gasoline to the c arb u re to r without ’■ tri - ations in pressure. T i e j o - line feed pipe o f the new F o rd it on ly IB inche» long and is easily accessible all the way. T h e gasoline passes fro m the tank to the carburetor through a filte r o r sediment b u lb m ounted on the steel flash which separates the g a s o lin e t a n k f r o m th e engine. T h e c arb u re to r is specially designed and lias been b u ilt to d e l i v e r m a n y thousands o f miles o f g o o d s e r v ic e . Since all adjustments are fixed except the needle valve and ¡filer, there is practi cally nothing to get o ut o f o rd er. i T h e choke ro d on the flash acts ns u p rim e r and nlsfi as a reg ulato r o f y o u r gusoline m ix tu re. T h e new hot spot m an ifo ld insures com plete vaporization o f the gasoline before it enters the com bustion chum her o f the engine. As a m atter o f fact, the fu e l system <»f the new Ford is so sim ple in design and so carefu lly made that it requires very little service attention. T h e filte r o r sediment liu lh should he cleaned at te g u la r intervals and the tu rh u re lo r screen removed nnd wusheil in gasoline. Oc casionally the d rain plug at the bottom o f th e e a rliiirc to r shoo hi he rem oved and the c arb u re to r d rained fo r a few seconds. « H ave y o u r F o rd dealer look ufter these im p o rtan t little details fo r you when you linve the cur oiled and greased. A thorough, p eri odic checking-up costs little , hut it has 11 great deal to do w ith long life and c o n tin u o u s ly good perform ance. F ord M otor C ompany t
