Tares Ought To Be Protected From Sun During extremely yo weather tlio motorist in often required to park his machine tit a place where there is no available means of protecting it from the Intense rnya of the sun, and Rood judgment demands that on such oc casions ( me attention bo paid to the iires," says the local distributors for Diamond tires. , "Rubber in almost any form do tcriorntes quiclily when subjected con tinuously to excessively strong light and high temperatures. This is par ticularly true of on inflated tire, foi the heut, besides being injurious to the rubber, will oftentimes melt or soften vulconized spots or patches on the inner tubo. The most simple pre caution in protecting tires from the sua and preventing what often results in serious injury is to throw robes, canvas, dusters or almost anything over them. Neither should spare tires ever be exposed. Not only do covers, which wo give our patrons, protect the ciuings from atmospheric and cli matic conditions, but they add neat ness to the car." - Just received a Big Shipment of Tires.

Morse & Ramsden 221 SOUTH HIGH STREET School Superintendent Churchill Goes East On Official Business In order to bo present at the meet ing of the IT. 8- Board of Vocational Education, which meets August 2-t and 25, in Washington, I). C, Stato Super intendent of Public Instruction Church ill leaves this afternoon on a long trip east. At this meeting, which is to for mulate a policy for iho work of voca tional education, there will be repre sentatives from tho vocational boards of Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, ....evada, Ida ho, California and Washington. This conference is called by Secre tary of Agriculture Houston and Dr. Clnxton, commissioner of education, who are ex-officio members of the board, in order to find out what tho representatives o the various states desire tu regard to this work. Last winter congress passed an act known as tho South-Hughes act, which appropriates $1500 for the year 1!17- 18 and an increasing appropriation for the next few years to encourage voca tional education. r.ach state whose leg islature was in sesion in H17 was ask ed to match federal money with state money for this purpose, if the legisla ture was not in session to do this, the match money could be raised locally. Unfortunateiv for Oregon the legisla ture adjourned before the act was passed and the match money will nave to be raised by the communities that desire the vocational education. However, Superintendent Churchill communicated with Secretary Houston and Dr. Clnxton regarding the fact that the Oregon legislature had ad journed shortly before the passage of the act, and they replied they were will ing to wnivo the discrepancy and give Oregon its money. They met in July but there was difficulty in fixing re quirements and outlining a policy and arrived at no decision. This forthcom- ng meeting was then called Tho Oreuon vocational board is com posed of the following: W. H. Aver, Portland; Mrs. McMath, Portland; Mrs. Castner, Hood Kiver, and K. J. Stack, Portland, with Superintendent Churchill an ex-officio member.

With ' one automobile for every 11 persons in the state, Iowa led the country in 1916 in the number of motor cars per capita, according to official figures in the gov ernment office of public roads. Califor nia was second with one car for every 12 inhabitants. : Nebraska and Smith Dakota had one for every 13. Arkansas stood last in tho list of states with only one car for every 116 poisons, Tho national aver age was one for every twenty-nine. By sections tile south had relatively the fewest cars in proportion to population. Motor Cars Become Popular in China After 66 years of activities the fore most horse vehicle landmark in China is now recognizing .the steady advance ment in tho sale of motor cars at Shanghai. This pioneer establishment original ly afforded all the facilities of a suc cessful American livery stable, says the American Motorist, but subsequent ly added a coach making department under the supervision of a number of foreigners, employing 350 skilled Chi nese workmen. More recently the coach builders havo been extensively employ ed in making motor car bodies ranging from commercial vans and small run abouts to large limousines The horse vehicle features aro now . gradually yielding to the steady encroachments of the automobile department, which is conducted by an American expert, with the result that the horses, car riages, and coaches are being relegat ed to the rear, while the automobile and motor equipment aro taking first place. Changes Will Be Few In Next Season's Ford There will be very few changes in the lines of the Ford for the coming year. One of the improvements is in the vontilating windshield but in gen eral the 1918 Ford will appear very much the same as its Telntive of 1917. When it comes to the price, the 1918 car is on the same basis as the car of the past year, with $400.70 for a run about and $415.70 for the touring car, delivered in Salem. Salem's quota for retail for the coming year, according to Vick Bros, is 480. That means that after this number of cars have been sold retail in Salem, the chances are there will no more as the big problem now seems to be not in selling a Ford but in securing deliveries from the as sembling plant in Portland. Steusloff Bros, are on the list for the first 191S Ford. It is a chasis and will be built into a delivery nuto.

Present Markets Have Already Forced 51 Makers to Add $100 to $700 to Their Prices. Former $1200 and $1400 cars now cost as much as a Hudson Super-Six. No changes warrant such an in ' crease.; They are practically the same as the cars which recently sold ' at $200 to $300 less than the Hudson Super-Six. ' Cars in the $2000 class and up have increased from $350 to $700. That removes them further from the Hudson Super-Six price. Increased cost of material is re- , sponsible for the higher prices. Hudson prices have not increased this year. Our materials were con tracted for months ago. When pres- , ent supplies are exhausted then Hud- ;. sons, too, must cost more. Until then Hudson, because of its value, is the lowest priced cur on the market. There can be no preference now 'that former cheaper cars cost as . much as the Super-Six. Super-Six endurance makes it the preferred amcrg fine cars. In every revealing test it has proved endur ance unequallec by any other car. . . Hudson leadership is due to the Super-Six motor. No other motor is like it. It minimizes vibration. That increases power and lengthens mo tor life. Vibration is the most destructive force in a motor. All Hudson tests show how by minimiz ing vibration endurance is obtained. The Super-Six is the most powerful automobile motor of its size known. The American Speedway record for 200 miles was established by one of them at an average speed of 104 miles an hour. That speed for that distance calls for endurance beyond that which ordinarily is needed in a lifetime'? requirements. These are proofs of Hudson endurance. They indicate the service you may expect from a Hudson Super-Six. If such tests mean nothing to you because of their exeremes, then think what the serv ice to almost 40,000 users means. There can be no greater assuraice than that. There is no advantage now in bay ing another caif not even the appar ent saving in the first cost price. But. the number of Super-Sixes that can be built from last year's material purchases is limited. If you are to get your car at the present price it must be from that number. You must decide soon. The Phaeton costs $1650, f. o. b. Detroit. There are seven other body de signs of open and closed models.

Having taken the view that tho pontiff's action was inspired by Aus tria, the general belief has been that the central powers would be the first to respond, either officially or unoffi cially. Tho Tribuna asserts today that it is positively informed the pope acted di rectly on his own initiative in propos ing peace and outlining tho conditions under which he believed it. might be established. The proposals were put for ward without consultation with any of the belligerents and without any extern al pressure, the Tribuna asserts. The Catholic press today came to the defense of the pope with strong de nials that his proposals were in any way inspired by Austria. The C'orriere D 'Italia declares the conditions are favorable to the allies, pointing out the references to disarm ament, and negotiations as to Alsace, Trent and Trieste, as distinctly unfav orable to the central powers.
