This device accurately and visibly records the exact condi tion of the various units that go to make up the equipment of a car's motor. "By means of this Motor Analyzer." said Clay Witham. "a complete and accurate checkup may bo made at all vital points and clearly Indicated so that the car owner may see for him self the true condition of his motor and know what adjustments may be netet-sary to restore the original pep. power and speed." The Wicdcnhoff Motor Analyzer consists of a portable testing bench upon which are mounted a variety of instruments and leads for con nection to the various units on the motor. It may be wheeled alongside the car and the testa made with the owner present. If a valve, for example. Is sticking. It will be shown plainly by the mark ed oscillation of a dial. Other de tails show the condition of the tim ing. Ignition, carburetor, compression, etc. As the analysis of the motor pro ceeds, the condition of the motor and Its various units are marked on a sheet, which Is then given o the car owner, who may use his own Judg ment ns to what work he will have I done. But through the use of this, 1 all guehwork ts eliminated and he : may drive with a feeling of certainty, knowing Just what he may expect of the car.

Diet and food ex perts were given an opportunity to analyze It. Professors of pharmncy in universities were requested to examine the component parts sep arately and scientifically determine If the regulative claims were cor rect. Physicians were asked to test it in the diet of their patients. Hundreds of housewives were urged to add it to their daily menus and watch the reaction of their own families. Knowing tl.e ingredients were simply whole crushed wheat, pure milk and honey, combined with a harmless stimulant, the Fluhrer'a Bnkeries, Inc., were confident the verdict would be favorable. But the reaction was positively n mazing, far byyond their most op timistic expectations. From alt sides came Insistent calls for more bread Dealers could not supply the de mand. Plant production was vastly Increased but still the requirements were Increasing. A crew of t-xperienced cnnvawtT were sent out to cover the city and secure written signed endorsements based on the peion.il experiences .and the benefits received by those t who had eaten Honey Krushed I Wheat Bread. Physicians Interviewed were en thusiastic in their approval of this new bakery product. One wrote : "1 have eaten your new Honey Krushed Wheat Bread and find it delicious , and nourishing, containing the nec essary roughage to regulate prop erly. I am glad to give it my whole hearted endorsement and recom mend It to my patients. " An elderly man. 72 years of age. nfter retiring from active work. needed a digestive stimulant. He 'wrote: "I found this bread not only j delirious, but nourishing and bene I flcial with a gentle stimulating ef- feet upon the intestines." j Hundreds of similar endowments could be quoted.

E FOR CAR DRIVERS The Oregon "Uniform Motor Ve hicle Safety Responsibility Act" which wss enacted at the last session of the state legislature and becomes ef fective on July 1, 1935, will odubtless prove doubly beneficial, according to Medford Insurance agencies In recent Interviews. They briefly outlined the principal provisions of the law and explained how It will be a factor for Justice and safety. The act provides that any motorist who fails to satisfy, within 30 days. any final Judgment which ts the out comeof an automobile accident caus ing the Injury or death of any person or property damage in excess of tioo will forfeit his right to drive or reg lster any motor vehicle. For the purpose of this law. a Judg ment shall be considered satisfied If $5,000 Is paid in the case of one per son Injured, $10,000 In the case of more than one person Injured (sub ject to the limit of $5,000 per person) or $1,000 In the case of material dam age to the property of others when ever a Judgment shall be In excess of these respective amounts. This does not lessen in any way, however, the plaintiff's right to civil action to recover the total amount decreed. In addition to paying the Judgment the defendant motorist must also furnish satisfactory evidence of his financial ability to re&pond In dam ages for any future accident for which he may be held legally ac countable. This Important new law applies not only to Oregon residents but to non residents as well. Furthermore, this lav is effective as regards Oregon mc torlsta wherever the accident oc curs or resultant suit is brought. Immediately upon receipt of any such final Judgment rendered by any court of competent Jurisdiction anywhere tn the United States or In any prov ince in the Dominion of Canada, the secretary of state of Oregon shall' im mediately spspend the defendant's Oregon driving license and registra tion certificate. Further, any motorist whose Oregon driving license or registration certifi cate has been suspended for any cause must prove his financial re sponsibility before he Is again per mitted to operate or register any mo tor vehicle. Satisfactory proof of financial re- : sponslbtltty for future accidents may be furnished In either of three ways: (1) by depositing with the state treasurer cash or acceptable securi ties to the amount of $11,000: (2) by filing an acceptable surety bond to the amount of $11,000. or (3) by car rying $5,000 ($10,000) automobile lia bility Insurance and $1,00 automo bile property damage Insurance cov ering all motor vehicles owned by the assured, such insurance to be Issued by a company authorized to do busi ness In Oregon or In the case of a non-resident In the state In which the motor vehicleis registered, or If the non-resident does not own a mo tor vehicle, then in the state In which he resides. This law will make more certain the payment of damages to the In nocent victims of motor car accidents and. what la more important, will tend to m akeall motorists operate with greater regard for highway safety.
