SATUllOAr, FHRRVAnY 0, 1921. ' '- - - ' ' THE EVENING HERALD, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PAQI FOTOTWQN, 4 iwee T, jr i ' i "Did you over," said tho man about town, "on a moonlight night, sco a lot of llttlo skunks scooting about among tho rocks nnit having a hlghfalutlng tlrao nil by thorn solves? Woll, If you liavo, you linvo a picture of mr Impression of tho youngstoni of this city, who dnrt out from between cars any old place during tho height of traffic, cross tho street nt any tlmo nnd nt nny place, scarcely looking beforo or behind them, and gottlng away with It too without getting a nick In their constitutions. "And then wo havo our Jaywalkers, grown men and women who look "ns though they know better, cross ing tho streets nt Intersections at tho most dangerous angles. It I didn't know that thero was somo myster ious ngoncy continually gunrdlng our fools, I'd Bay their escapes woro miraculous. Hut sometimes this mysterious guardian is absent with out leave, and thoso aro the times theso jaywalkers and kids get theirs. Something's going to happen right hero In Klamath Falls. Whtch for It." And tho man about town wended his way down Main street. To tho person who frequents tho mainly travelod streets hero It Is evident that tho M. A. T. Is right. Neither adults nor children seem to havo the slightest regard for traf fic regulations, apparently depending upon tho drivers of automobiles to cxerclso tho necessary caution to keep them from getting kilted. Auto dri vers aro only human, and even though their cars aro provided with alt tho latest safety appllancos, they cannot control tho actions of a city full of racing, scrambling, suicidal. Indifferent people, and about tho 'only thing that can bring them to n realization of their danger Is nn ordlnanco that will give Chief Hank Wilson authority to arrest every one who needlessly takes his life in his own hands, even If It takes a couplo 'moro jails and an unoccuplod court house or two to give them jail room. Organization of Auto Association Good for County (Continued from Page Nino) The auto show will bo hero soon. being unfolded to tho world, nnd Klamath Kails nnd Klamath county will seo thousands upon thousands of tourists driving through this tils trlct on tholr way to tho lake pro' vlded tho county will construct for them roads over which thoy can travol In comfort. Theso tourists will pay for tho road In time. Thoy havo dona It In California nnd wilt do It hero. Hut this Is only n small part of what theso travelers will do. Hy giving thorn nn opportunity to drive through this county, thoy wilt becomo Im pressed with Its advantages as nn agricultural region par excellence, and tho good word, taken back with thorn, or dropped hero nnd thorn nlond tho roadsldo, will bo tho means, of bringing honost-to-goodncss In vestors Into tho county. And, Kin math county needs them, too. There Is n saltish motlvo bohlnd this organization, but tho snmo sort of motlvo was tho Incentive which has prompted tho business, aided tho development, and which has boon tho motlvo for 09 per cent of tho good things that havo como Into tho world. Charity begins at home, It Is said, and tho nuto owners of this county know thoy aro helping them selves ovory tlmo thoy say a good word for tho association, or do any thing that will holp to keep it allvo and prosperous. After all, they need good roads as woll as tho tourists do, but tho big Idea Is to let tho visitors pay for them, as they suroly will do eventually. Tho selection of It. C. Oroesbeck as president of tho association was a master stroke. Mr. Oroesbeck Is public-spirited nnd full of business. Ho represents tho auto ownors, of whom thero aro at least 1800 In this county a car for ovory six persons, by tho way. Ho Is representative of harmony and progress, and the mombcrs of tho association aro to bo commended In their selection. A wlso provision, nlso, was tho selection of vlco presidents from dif ferent parts of tho county. Every section In tho county should bo rep resented. That Is tho only way to obtain tho best results. Above all, harmony must prevail Petty prejudices must bo eliminated. Tho few must bo governed by tho majority. Sometimes strong person al Views must bo sacrificed. Hut in doing all this, concord can bo inado to provall, nnd tho Herald, bo spoaks tor tho Klamath County Auto mobllo association n long Ufa of use- fullness, nnd stands ready to assist tho association In Its effort to grow, enduro, and bo one of tho blggo&t factors In tho dovolopmont of tho county. Trafficlrixck nm&s Central Garage Makes Reduction in Racine Tires . For n short tlmo only, porhnps not moro than 10 days, tho Central garngo will soil Raclno tiros nt a re duction that will bo nn Inducement tor nny pore on who wants n good rollnblo tiro to couio in nnd buy. "Wo'vo knocked tho peak nnd n part of the foundation oft tho prlco of nnclncs," said Mr. Ilrownotl, and tho public scan save money by buying them now." This Is not n clonnup on thoso tires, but n bona tide effort to ro duco a largo stock. TO OVKIICOMK CAIlltON An attachment by which tho mo torist may facllltato 'starting, In cold weather and also free his cylinders of carbon Is doscrtbed In tho January Issue of Motor. Two sight-food oil cups aro Joined by toes to n plpo which Is Insortcd In tho Intake mani fold. Tho other end of tho plpo terminates In a potcock. Tho oper ating handles of tho hlgstfccd glass es are controlled by push-and-pull wires from tho dash, and whon It Is desired to prlmo tho motor, ono of tho slght-fcod glasses, which has previously been filled with high-tost gasoline.

A third wlro controls tho potcock, which Is open ed simultaneously, and .tho suction of tho revolving motor draws In air. which carries tho high-test gas Into tho cylinders. For enrbon romoval, tho glass containing writer Is turned on from tho dash, witn Abo result that water Is sucked In and vapor ized In tho hot cyllndors.
