"It's the motorist's duty to him self and others to aee that his car la In good condition." he stated. "The winter grind often can leave even the bent of automobiles with dangerous defects In aafety devices. "Not only will a check-up mean added aafety, but added economy and comfort In driving throughout the season aa well." Service expert of the Oregon State Motor association, affiliated with the A. A.

JfHmsu- And it has charmed this charming hum. Pretty Ruth Sanger declares that although she does not understand the functions of the 1936 Motorola's Magic Eliminode, its reception rivals that of house radios. The local Western Auto SuodIv Co. store is now displaying these new car radios. With the arrival of their Initial shipment of five full freight car loads of 1935 Mo tor ol as, the Med ford Western Auto Supply company store la prepared to make early delivery on these popular radios, asserts Charles Pritchett, local manager of the firm. "There are three models of the new 1035 Mo tor I as." he states, "all embodying many startling new de velopments which give the motor car owner even greater luxury and driv ing enjoyment than car radios have ever given before. Amazing Improve ments have been made, both In ap pearance and performance, and com plete re-atyllng adapts them to fit any car. "The makers of Motorola, who were the first commercial builders of auto rod I os. have been pioneering in years. But the greatest of the Im provements they have Introduced will be found exclusively on the 1935 Motorola." Pritchett declared. "It is the Magic Eliminode. which com pletely eliminates all motor Inter ference without the aid of spark plug suppressors. This accomplishes house radio performance without Impairing auto engine efficiency.' "One of the moat interesting fea tures of the new auto radio now on display at the Western Auto store is the new dial control which can be Installed on the steering post or at tached to the Instrument panel, giv ing the Motorola buyer his prefer ence of Installation. Custom Build controls are available for 1935 cars, too. Special models have been de signed for cars with turret tops;, also this field of radio enjoyment, for for overhead speaker installation.

The posters, which bear the terse but vital message, "Live and Let Live Let's Quit Kllllng-Drive Safely NOW," will be placed only in cities, In strictly commercial locations, as a reminder to the motorist, while he actually Is driving, that he must be cautious. First of the signs were erected in Portland a Xew days ago. Several will be posted here within the next few days, according to the Oregon State Motor association.

(AP) Governor Martin today transmitted the pro posed amendatory PWA V4.200.0UU bridge bond agreement to the fed eral authorities with a letter de claring the requests Included "pos- ss merit." The amendments would seek two main proposals request for opera tion of the Oregon coast highway bridges free of tolls and the pay ment with highway funds of the 4, 2 00, 000 bond revenue debt; and request for an allocation of 4,- 300,000 as a grant for the reloca tion and reconstruction of the Troutdale-Cascnde Locks section oi the Columbia River highway. In his letter of transmittal Gov ernor Martin declared "both re quests possess great merit the first Is of local significance to the peo ple of this state: the second in Its benefits Is both local and nat ional because vitally related to the Bonneville dam project. I unquali fiedly endorse both requests and recommend them for favorable con sideration." In conclusion, after relating the importance of the Bonneville dam project, the governor declared "The Columbia river highway is a fed eral highway on which much fed eral money has been spent. In creased use of the Troutdnle-Cas cade locks section of that thor oughfare for the movement ot freight and property in connection with the Bonneville activities de mands increased maintenance and ultimately reconstruction of that section of the highway. "The completion of the Bonne ville dam with its resultant Indus trial and commercial development will require a highway with bet ter alignment, leas curvature, easier grades, wider roadbed and shorter distance." The move for transfer of the federal money for the Columbia River highway was started by the governor and Leslie M. Scott, form er chairman of the highway com mission, shortly after Martin took office. THEOSOPHY LECTURE SCHEDULED TONIGHT This evening at 8:00 o'clock. Miss Anita M.

CYRIL SANDER According to sales records, this year's Plymouth are receiving much batter popularity than aver before. Though most of the really impouant features are hidden be neath the hood In the chassis, the exterior also presents a very attrac tive appearance. It seems that en gineers of the 1935 Plymouth de voted msny of their efforts to the effective cooling of the engine and chassis. For example, full length water jackets, directional circular tlon, ventilated clutch and the ven tilated generator are all new im provement. Very likely the men tioning of these features will not mean a great deal to the average oar buyer, but when he Is told that these result in a great saving in gas, oil, and wear and tear on the engine, they take on a new significance. Ac cording to sales statements these new care save around 12 to 20 per cent more gasoline. We personally consider the touring sedans with the spare tire and wheel concealed in the trunk the best looking of this year's cars. This week we are going to describe another Mercedes-Benz, this time It Is the smallest car made by the Daimler-Bens company. It is known as tha rear-engine Type M180." We believe that some of the dimensions should be given first to better give you an Idea of the size of this car we shall discuss. The wheeibase is exat?y 08 Inches, over-all height is 4 feet Ui inches without pas sengers!, and the over-all width Is 5 feet. We have found In looking over the information we have available that the chassis features are much more Interesting than the body, so we shall devote most of our space to them In looking at a photograph of the chapels the first thing that at tracts one's attention is the appar ent lack of a frame however there Is a frame a tubular one where the drive shaft on ordinary cars is lo cated. This frame is merely a large tube about eight inches in diameter from which two braces extend from each side. Another queer feature is the wheel suspension. The two rear wheels are suspended by very large coil springs while the front wheels use two transverse springs which u located one above the other. This type of suspension supposedly gives host about tha ultimate in smooth riding comfort, atill another very different feature is the steering gear each wheel is steered individually by means of geared rods and appar ently Is entirely different from sny thing used in America. (To tal tha trutn I haven't been able to figure this steering apparatus out yetf) This car la fitted with a four cylin der engine which develops 38 horse power snd which gets a gaa con sumption of 30 miles per gallon. The ear also has three forward speeds and an Overtop Gear for added economy. However, ths top speed le only around 65 miles per hour, which wouldn't be considered very fast in the United States. A com plete set of equipment including di rection Indicators, windshield wip ers, etc. is also included sa standard equipment. The Type "180" may be had in two body models, namely, the saloon and tha cabriolet-saloon. Both are two-door, four-passenger models and are equipped with a large btg gare compartment in the front where the engine ordinarily would be. We believe that even though these cars are very small they still have good refined lines. Ths new studebaker Champion for 1935 are evidently built to stand the gaff. At least the factory te carrying on experiment and test to prove their points. One test for their Independent Planar Wheel suspen sion attracts our attention. In this test the car is run down a railroad track on the ties of the track at a terr.'fic speed. Of course anyone that has seen a railroad track knows how rough such a road would be. Ac cording to the Studebaker advertise ments this new Studebaker travel over this track with comparative ease, which should show that their new suspension must be very stable. This new suspension uses a trans verse spring instead of tha usual coll spring and the new cars also have hydraulic brakes and all-steel bodies to contribute to the safety ot th1 car. Although the exterior ap pearance is only slightly different from last year's cars, the Interior la more luxuriously fitted and upholstered. 31 Held For Murder, Gallup Relief Riot GALLUP, N.
