Aug- 10 In addition to giving complete route in formation to motorist, travel bureaus of A. A. A- affiliated motor clubs throughout th country are now lay ing particular stress on the need for Mftty while making the trip, the American Automobile Association an nounced today. Besides the maps, tour books and other information necessary for malt ing the trip with the greatest amount of ease and convenience, the travel bureaus aJso present the prospective tourist with a card outlining the prlncnpal points of safety that should bs observed by the motorist. The new safety cards prepared by the Safety and Traffic Engineering department of the national motoring body, provide a method of scoring whereby the driver can check up on how well he has observed the rules of caution. When there are alternate drivers In a touring party, they must compete for the best driving score ' of the day. "No matter how carefully trip la planned." a statement issued by the A. A. A. declared, "the tour Is likely to end in disaster unless car dinal safety rules are followed. It was to Insure that motorists not only ire directed over the best possible routes but that they will return home with out accident that the safety cards were, prepared." Principal points of traffic caution outlined by the safety cards follow: 1. Take it Easy. You will enjoy your trip much more and greatly decrease the likelihood of accident if you don't try to cover too many miles per day. You will also save money on gas. oil. tire and motor wear if you don't drive too fast. 3. Stop and Relax Once In a While. Always stop clear off the road. Fa- I tlgue takes the pleasure out of a trip nd Is the cause of many a crash, so don't drive too many hours a clay. 8. Slow Down After Sunset. Half of enir traffic deaths occur during dusk or darkness. It Is Impossible to see well after dark. 4. The Open Road Invites Speed. But the wise driver remembers that two out of three fatalities now occur In rural areas. Always assume that someone may be trying to pass on your side of the road Just beyond a hill-crest or a curve. Always antici pate what may be ahead. 5. Watch Overtaking and Passing. Wait until you're sure you can p.iss safely the car ahead, particularly on "hi 11 crests and curves. Be particularly careful at night when it Is hard to Judge the distance and speed of ap proaching headlights. 8. Obey Signs and Signals. Warning and stop signs and stop-and-go sig nals are installed for your protection nd you won't lose many minutes obeying them. 7. Slow at Cross Roods. Watch out for approaching cars and slow down at Intersections, it Is poor satisfac tion to know you had the right-of-way if you crash. 8. Keep "John Barleycorn" Out of Tour Car. It goes hard these days with a driver in trouble wha ha al cohol on his breath. Picture of tlie "mystery" bomber recently completed by Boeing Airplane Company In Seattle.

F DRIVE TO SQUAW LAKE ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE Those with the wanderlust might always to be found in the district. well turn their attention to the trip to Squaw lake, a Journey of about 60 miles for the round trip. The road, from the point where it turns off the Applegate road, is narrow and twist ing but easily passable, with a stiff grade the five or six miles to the lake. In reality, it should be called Srjauw lakes, for there are two of them. The flrt one. about a mile long, is well stocked with fish. A tiny stream connect the twr lakP., the upper one being only about two blocks across, and nearly round. Over hanging trees and bushes along the shore line, and charming camping and picnic spots make the place an ideal one for a day's drive or a week's outing. The lakes are only about two miles from the California line. Deer, and other game abound in the region, and wild birds of a thousand species are To get to the lakes, follow up the Big Applegate river past Star ranger station and the Beaver creek road, on to French gulch, where a plainly marked road leads away to the left. It is from this point that the rapid ascent begins. Those who have not been in the district tn some time, will be surprised In the transformation In the place known as Mule hill. Formerly a treacherous, winding road along the cliff face, it is now wide, smooth and gradual In grade, with a beautiful view up the Apple gate river valley from the summit. The trip Is easily made In an afternoon, but It is best to make It an all day affair, being sure that the "old man" takes along his fish ing tackle for a crack at the trout. Be sure and have plenty of gas. for the last service station will be found at Ruch. ,8rv. Newspapers Most Effective Medium Claims Hupp Head "One of the strongest methods of supporting our dealers that we know of, is through the medium of a vig orous and frequent employment of newspaper advertising," says Mr. W. B. Hulburt, vice president and dir ector of sales of the Hupp Motor Car corporation, in a statement re garding the plans and policies to be pursued in his company's fast-growing sales activities. According to Mr. Hulburt, "Recent years have made It quite evident that dealers are entitled to. and must have, the closer cooperation and support of their factories if they are to develop the maximum sales and profit-making possibilities of their territories. Those of us who have our selves been distributors and dealers are not only fully aware of this fact, 0. Give Hand driver know we you are going to stop, change ir.nes. or turn. Always get into the proper lane some distance before you turn. 10. Take Care of Your Car. Particu lar attention should be paid to such safety features as brakes, tires, lights, steering apparatus, and clean wind shield. 11. Be a "Road Sportsman." Cour tesy, both to other drivers and to pe destrians, pays large dividends when practiced on the highways. Shirt Sleeves Are Not Disorderly Court Says NEW YORK. Aug! 10. i.Pt Hold ing that going coat less is a "custom accepted In New York." magistrate Hulon Capshaw today acquitted Da vid Alper of disorderly conduct for standing on his right to go about In his shirtsleeves. Alper was arrested last Tuesday. He was alleged to have tied up elevator service in a west-side office building by refusing to lei7e 'the lift although the operator told him it was against the building's rule for a, costless man to use the passenger elevators. 4 BOSTON, Aug. 10. (AP) (U. 8. D. A.) The volume of sales In 64s and finer territory wools was fairly good the past week, and prices on this grade were fairly firm. but we are also doing something about it. "One of the methods Hupp pro poses to follow is that of concen-! Wolverhampton, trating a greater proportion of our advertising in cities and towns where we have dealer representation, which enables us to tell who our local representatives arc and where they are located. The fact that our news paper advertising can be confined to points in which we are represented, eliminates the serious waste which always results from any form of ad vertising whose circulation, in large part, goes into districts where they are no established facilities for sell ing and servicing. "Our present plans call for an actual Increase of more than 30 per cent in this form of advertising as compared with our expenditure per car in any former year. Hupp news paper advertising is now being car ried in more than 400 newspapers, and although the present season Is one tn which advertising is custom arily curtailed, we are now using more newspaper advertising than In any previous month of this year. Furthermore, It is planned to employ not only additional newspapers as time goes on, but to provide for more frequent insertions and advertise ments of more liberal size, "It is interesting also, to note that we have not only observed a greater effectiveness In getting our messages to the public as the result of in creased use of newspaper space, but there has also been a very marked effect In stimulating the mornle and selling activities or the dealers for whom such advertising was publish ed. In no small decree is this due to the helpfulness of the newspapers, because of their cheerful readiness to publish favorable news about our progress and products." AKRON. O. P. W. Litchfield, prrs ident of The Goodyear Tire As Rub ber company, is arriving In New York July 95 after a trip around the world, during which he visited six of the company's plants in opera tion. He leaves that nigTit for his home In Akron. Ohio, to spend his 60tii birthday with his family.

DE S0TA AVERAGES . 22 MILES TO GAL Chet Lewis of Prospect, who re cently returned from Los Angeles in a new airflow De Solo, reports that he averaged 22 miles to the gallon of gas, according to N. A. Mead of the Mead Motor Co. Mr. Mead reports the sales of new De Sotos to George DhIcv of Eagle Point and Mrs. David Rosenberg. Goodyear has been raising rubber In Sumatra since 191b. this was his first , trip to the Far East. During his trip Mr. Litchfield stop ped at Frledrichshafen, Germany, to discuss airship matters with Dr. Huso Eckener and to look over the new Zeppelin airship, the LZ.-U9, now be ing completed. It happened that his stop at Frledrichshafen marked also his 35th anniversary with the Good year company. He had Joined Good year In July. 1900. after graduating from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and spending three years in rubber manufacturing operations tn New England. The automobile, at the time he went with the company, was still an experiment and was called the horse less carriage so that his service In the rubber industry covers the entire development of the automotive and the rubber industries, Rubber In 1900 was extensively used in the manufacture of foot wear, clothing, hose, packing and some druggists suidrles, but com pounding processes at that time were largely by secret formula and rule of thumb. One of the first technics! men to enter the Industry, Litch field gave Impetus to research work which tn after years was to run Into millions of dollars a year. He was to see tires overshadow all other rubber goods and the sure of supply of crude rubber shift from the forests of Brazil to the plantations of Sumatra. .Malaya and Ceylon. From the research development lie started came the straight side tire, the cord tire, the pneumatic truck tire. Supertwlst, and other important contributions. Coming in at the beginning of the big business, Litchfield developed r program of industrial relations which had some influence on the more lib eral industrial policies of large In dustries today. The program included education, athletics, collective bar gaining as far back as 1019 and a varied program of employee activi ties. Outside of his labor policies Litch field Is best known in industry for his fathering of the llghter-than-alr division of aeronautics. The company Lumber Production In Northwest Area Gain SEATTLE.

The AUTO WAY- Rv Cyril 8 an (let KF.EP COOL and ENJOY meals and fountain service at the What Not. New air conditioner. A foreign automobile of unusual Interest Is the German Adler Primus. This car has won quite an amount of fame in races and endurance tests throughout Europe. Notable among its awards are first prize for the 1400 km. East Prussia test, the first prize and the Golden trophy won In the contest over the Hare moun tains, and a golden and silver trophy were won in the strenuous Circuit International des Alpes In 1032. These are only a few of the awards that the Adler has won that con clusively prove their speed and relia bility. Some of the features which have been given credit for this cars performance are its especially wide and flexible springs, its four wheel hydraulic brakes, one-pressure cen tralized lubrication system, and the abundant use of rubber to elimin ate vibrations and to muffle noises, along with, of course, the engine of maximum output which Is also mounted in rubber. This car Is, according to Ameri can standards, a small car. having only a nine foot wheelbaae. However, it evtdently Is all car. The engine de velops 33 brake horsepower at 3400 revolutions per minute, and Is equip ped with a counter-balanced crank shaft, Bohnallte pistons with Invar struts, pressure-feed lubrication, and thermosiphon controlled water cir culation. Other features are a four speed gear box with two sets of helically toothed gears In constant mesh, seml-floatlng rear axle, seml ellptlc springs and single plate dry clutch. The body types available Include a four passenger sedan, sunshine se dan, closed cabriolet, open cabriolet. four door sedan and a combination sedsn. All of these models, though not as modern or streamlined as tome American cars, could pass quite well with the general public, we think. These cars do not have a great deal of room but they are quite well equipped and should be a very pop ular car. The combination sedan we mentioned Is very similar to the con vertible sedan built this year by Ply mouth. In fact the manner of re moving the rear seat and the equip ment Is almost Identical as far w we can determine. This car in most respects la quite typical of German made cars which we have found compare more fav orably with American cars than all most any other foreign cars. .
