Tbs two millionth Ford V-8 ar
rived at America's exposition, Balboa
Park, San Diego, last Sunday. It
rolled off the assembly line at the
Pord Motor Company's River Rouge
plant at Dearborn, Mich., on June 13
to be driven on an exhtbtlon tour
across the country. Upon It arrival
In San Diego It was placed on display
at the Ford Exposition building.
The car bears the motor number
18-2.000.000. the 18 being the motor
serial, or design number. The 1,
000,000th Ford V-8 ran off the line at
the Ford plant on June 21. 1034, not
quite one year prior to the comple
tion Of the 2.000.000th rar.
The production schedule of the
Ford Motor company calls for the
manufacture of 1.000.000 cars during
1935. At present considerably more
than 500.000 Ford V-8s have been
completed.
To carry out this program of car
manufacturing, more than 3.200.000
pounds of wool, the product of ap
proximately 800.000 sheep, will be re
quired. Some 30.000 cattle will be
needPd to furnish 1.500.000 square
feet of leather for upholstery In ad
dition to production of glues made
from both hides and milk, stearic
arid, grraws. glycerine and soap
chips. Goats' hair to the amount of
35.000 pounds will be required, rep
resenting the shearings of 87.500
goats.
The Ford Motor company will re
quire, this year for Its one million
car program. 69.000.000 pounds of
cotton or the yield of about 433.000
acres. Every Fordor sedan uses more
than 70 pounds of cottoon.
In addition to these farm-grown
products, millions of pounds of iron,
steel, coal and coke, millions of cubic
feet of gas and other raw materials
will be consumed to make 1.000.000
Ford V-8s before the end of 1935.
Extremes Noted
In Motor Start
In Hot Weather
Shivering In the sunshine cold
and sluggish even though the ther
mometer dances around the century
mark! That's the queer plight auto
mobiles are In these days when the
motor is first started, according to
research scientists who have been
studying fuels in an attempt to get
an extra mile of travel from every
gallon of gasoline.
The weather may be hot to human
beings, they say. but still cold to
motors, which Is why some car own
ers waste up to a cupful of fuel on
every "cold start." even In summer.
This research Is being done in Shell
Oil company laboratories, where work
never ceases on the study of ways to
Improve motor operation. An inter
esting account of discoveries about
summer driving conditions has been
received by F. Johnson. Shell Oil
company's Medford manager.
The motorist often wonders why.
In summer. It Is necessary to use the
choke In order to start the motor and
vhy motors frequently give sluggish
performance when first started, even
though the day may be blisterlngly
hot.
The answer Is simple. What may
seem hot to human beings Is still far
below the efficient operating temper
ature of s motor. You may be suf
fering from hest. but your motor
may still be really cold.
"For these reasons, it "Is necessary
to have a "quick starting' gasoline
In summer. Just as It Is In winter.
Of course you don't notice starting
difficulties so much In summer, but
still waste luel If you have to use
the choke unduly.
"6uper-Shell gasoline, by actual test,
gives efficient performance In a cold
motor In one-half the time required
by gasolines which are not so finely
balanced. You use the choke only
half as much with "Super-Shell. That
Is why Super-Shell Is the most eco
nomics! fuel In hot weather. Just as
it Is In winter." added Johnson."

Nine out of every ten automobile
accidents which In 1934 involved
driving errors resulted from too
much speed, it la shown by reports
compiled by the Travelers Insurance
Company. This fact is brought out in
numerous ways by the statistics on
automobile accidents, among which
are these:
The rate of death in 1934 per ac
cident on highways was more than
100 per cent greater than the average ,
for all accidents combined. This
shows that the highway is no place
for a driver to be "asleep at the
switch." S
The rate of death per accident on
curves was 131 per cent worse last
year than the average for all acci
dents combined. The question has
been asked, "what does the driver
think about when he goes around a
curve too fast or on the wrong side
of the road?"
Government mortality statistics
show that the rate of death from au
tomobile accidents continues to
mount faster in rural territories
than in urban districts. In 1933, the
latest year that euch statistics are
available, the death rate from auto
mobile accldenta Increased 6.4 per
cent compared to 1932. In urban
district it increased 4.5 per cent,
while in rural territories it in
creased 10.1 per cent. From 1923 to
1933 inclusive, the total death rate
from automobile accidents increased
58.7 per cent, although In urban dis
tricts it Increased only 32.8 per cent.
In rural territories, however, tho
rate of death jumped 101.9 per cent,
Many motorists fail to appreciate
the fact that "the person who always
drives at a reasonable rate of speed
saves gasoline, trouble, money and
human life." Don Herold la his
cartoon above hits the nail on the
head. He wonders why drivers
usually are so careful breaking in
new carB but are so careless with
their own lives and the lives of oth
ers just as soon as the "breaking
in" distance has been traveled,
LOOP TRIP IS SUGGESTED
If the heat of the valley la too
much for the exploring family to
day, a fine trip suggested, and one
of only about 80 miles, is the new
Beaver creck-Sisktyou summit Ijop.
The road has but recently been open
ed and la smooth and well graded.
Although there are no lafcea or lare
streams on the routt. and the scene
ry consist mostly of mountain and
large trees, the novelty of getting
deep into virgin country suoh fts this
is a treat vouchsafed to few.
The way ilea, for the first part, the
same aa traversed to the Bin Leiri
country last week, aa far aa to the
Beaver creek turnoff. Pollow up the
Applegate river past Star ranger sta
tion and crosa to the south side of
the river a abort distance up stream
from the station. About three miles
above the bridge, sign mark the way
to the left over the Beaver creek
road.
By following thla road up onto the
Siskiyou summit and circling back
down, one ends up a.t the city reser
voir In Ashland, after a trip through
some of the most entrancing moun
tain views within a range of hun
dreds of miles. There are only a few
divergent roads over the entire trip,
and these are plainly marked so tht
there la no possible chance of getting
lost.
Near the aummlt la a turn-off.
marked, leading to the Dutchman
lookout station, only about a mile
distant. The view from this lookout,
the perch of the eagle eyes that watc'.i
the forest for the first sign of mo!t.
Is magnificent, and the officer In
charge will be glad to point out the
place of interest.
There are many grand places to
picnic along the way, and If you
drive by one you can easily find an
other. However, water la not too plen
tiful, and it la best to take alon? a
vacuum bottle either of water or lem
onade. There are no gasoline stations
alone the way. ao fill up 'before knv
i:ig the valley.
Be sure, on the up grade, not to
take the road to the left wh:ch lads
back to the Little Applegate country,
as you would thereby circumscribe
a much smaller circle and one not
nearly so Interesting. Logging la in
progress at several spots in the ter
ritory traversed, and a view of the
huge "cats" In action la a real treat
for the kids, and educational- for the
grown-ups as well.
A sharp eye should be cocked for
logging trucks on the down grade
leading Into Ashland, and good brake
are a necessity. The road la not dan
gerous at any point along the way.
however,
iPor an all-day outing, probably
the best picnic spot la to be found
at the covered bridge Just past Btar
ranger station, with fine swimming
facilities In the Applegate river. Oood
trout fishing along the stream there
should prove an effective lure to the
gentlemen of the household.

six cylinder models. Their body lines
are so moulded as to give a maxi
mum oi stream-line effectiveness
and yet be handsome and not too
radical. The light are especially
Interesting. They are mounted in
about -the conventional place yet
the hood behind them ts so faired
aa to eliminate all wind drag. Ac
cording to Information we have re
ceived, this car Is so deslaned as
to put the air pressure to work,
so to speak. By thla we mean that
the body design has not been made
Just to eliminate wind drag but
also to exert something of a down
ward pressure at the same time.
This has a tendency to hold the
csr to the ground, which Is a safety
advantage. Another novel Idea In
corporated Into these new bodies
Is the elimination of the rear quar
ter windows. It la said to be un
necessary on these Hupmobllea be
cause the two door windows are so
wide that they give as much or
more vision than the conventional
cars with the rear quarter windows.
These bodies are also wide enougn
to accommodate three passengers in
either front or rear seat. The in
teriors of the Hupmoblles are also
very smart and they harmonize very
nicely with the car as a whole.
One feature which was demonstrated
on the show room floor a few days
ago is the bed that ran be made
up In the car. It is quite large and
though we didn't try It it looked
aa if It might be very comfortable.
Although we don't believe this
would be any great advantage for
town driving, yet for touring It
might prove quite convenient some
tlmel The dashboard Is quite small
but Is located very close to the
steering wheel so it Is very easy to
see and convenient to reach. The
front seat is also easily adjusted
and the doors, both front and rear,
are very wide which makes thn car
very convenient to get either in or
out of.
The specifications of this car
should be especially Interesting to
Medford people because It has been
pretty much "out of the picture"
aa far as they have been concerned
in recent years. The engine used in
the models on display la a six
cyllnder L-head engine. It develops
101 horsepower and has a piston
displacement of 245.3 cubic Inches.
It la mounted by means of a four
point rubber Insulated suspension.
The compression ratio ia 5.76 to 1.
The pistons are of light weight alloy
and have two compression and two
oil regulation rings. The exhaust
valves are made of aviation type
steel and the inlet valves are ot
nickel-chromium steel. The radiator
la of the cellular core type and
correct and efficient cooling la main
tained, by the centrifugal pump and
the thermostatic control.
The car has a wheel base of 118
Inchea while the over-all length la
189 Inches. The transmission Is
synchro-silent with helical gears. Tho
good riding qualities are attributed
to the scml-elllptlc springs used
both front and rear along with the
two-way hydraulic-thermostatically
and automatically controlled shock
absorbers. The brakes are hydraulic
for the foot brakes and mechanical,
internal expanding brakes for the
emergency which work on the rear
wheels only. The cam and lever
type steering gear ia used and we
found It very smooth and especially
good over rough roads where It was
easy to see that road shocks and
road vibrations were very effectively
wiped out.

RESPECT
There's far more at stake in deciding
the future of a business, than in pur
chasing a single car.
It was vital, therefore, that we have
the good sense to investigate and
consider thoroughly, before we se
lected the motor car to which this
business would devote itself. Facts
decided us on the Hupmobile and
here are some of the facts.
Because twenty-eight years of integrity
have won universal respect for. the
Hupp institution and its products.
Because of the intense loyalty of
Hupmobile owners.
Because of the incredibly widespread
conviction that Hupp has always built
a good car.
Because present Hupmobile models are
the lowest-priced ofthegenuine stream
lined cars and distinctly the roost high
ly refined and pleasing in appearance.
Because their performance is literally
breath-taking with more horsepower
for their weight and wheelbase than
any car of comparable price and
more speed than you'll need.
Because they are designed with the
science born of experience and built
with a care, precision and quality that as
sures full value and lasting satisfaction.
Because they present the best features
of the best cars with numerous advan
tages and developments of their own.
Reasons like these were fully good
enough to decide us. They are good
enough, we believe, to justify our ask
ing YOU to consider the Hupmobile
before YOU decide.
