No Longer A Question Of A Dependable Car Economy in operating expense it the important thing. "Automobile manufacturing if bo longer a question of making a depen dable car," says F. G. Delano of the Salem Automobile Co., local dealer in Chevrolet automobiles. "From now on, makers are utilizing every effort, and doing everything in thoir powor to make a car that will be economical in operating expense. Ia these days, the prospective purchaser invariably asks, 'How many miiea on H gallon of gasoline, and 'Is the car going to be expensive on tires! ' Those two important questions havs caused manufacturers to do valuable designing and experimental work with the result that peopie are buying ears that average 20 miles and more to the gallon of gasoline, and cars that run thousands of miles on a set of tires. "Proper weight is one If the things responsible for this marked change. "The weight of the car itself is a vital consideration. The medium weight car does not use so much power in pro pelling itself. Correct weight slso means less weight on tires. Ample bearing surface and proper carburetion are other items tending toward econo my. Ample bearings reduce friction, whieh means that the car is going to run easier. Proper carburetion helps to secure minimum gasoline consumption, by regulating the mixture. "It is these things that the present day manufacturer is concerned about. And the record being made by low price cars is ample proof that this type of car is aot a "burdea in the matter of maintenance expense. "The low price car is being bought by those who see the advantages of having, at their esll, for instant use a transportation facility ready to go any where at low expense and free from tXi annoyances." ranee, an action for money.

I WANT ADS PAY The senate roads -committee is ap proaching a wide open split on the question of endorsing bills which are aimed at the patented pavements. This fact was clearly revealed at a meeting of the committee held yesterday after- 1 noon immediately following adjtwrn ! ment of the legislature for the week end. , ! Bills to prohibit the payment of roy i elties on pavement luiil on public higu ! ways, whieh were introduced by Sen- ators Thomas and I.arhmuud, are before i the committee, as ia also bills introduc- cd by Senator Dimick, which are in- tended to open the way for free com ' petition between contractors by requir ing those having patented pavements j to charge the same royalties to all con ! tractors. . , Senators Lachmund, Thomas ' and Dimick are anxious to get the commit tee to take some action on these bilVa immediately, so they can be brought beforo the senate, as similar bills are being introduced in the house by Rep resentative .Sheldon, a political rival of Senator "Thomas, and the senators dislike to have house members bat them at their own game. That is why Senators Laehmund and Thomas resented the action of Senator Orton, chairman of the roads and high ways committee, who left for Portland before the senate adjourned yesterday afternoon without calling a meeting of the committee. Requested Bench Warrant Senator Laehmund, as soon as he no ticed that Orton was gone, demanded to know whether Orton had been excus ed, and after he learned that Orton had loft for Portland, he requested that a bench warrant be issued for him. President Vinton got around the sit uation br sugeesting that Senator liur loyt the ranking member of the com- milEVU, 'COU1U Will ' a uivcuug ui . eommittee. Senator Thomas then pre sented a motion, which wns carried, that Senator Hurley be instructed to call a meeting immediately tollowing adjournment. An effort was made in the commit teen bv Laehmund. Thomas and Sen ator Dimick, who is not a nicnibw of the committee but dropped in, to get the committee to endorse senate bills 48, 62, 67 and 68, relating to the 10 year maintenance bond, to paving spec ifications antt to tno payment or pav ing royalties. Uit.nnr Motion Carried. : Th outcome was that a motion by Eitnef was -carried, directing a sub committee to draft a substitute bill for 8. B. 48, which will prohibit the in sortion of a 10-ycar maintenance clause in a paving contract, but will provide that the bill shall not apply t a five year construction clause, whilsi the coinmittee was widely split on tho other bills. Senators Ritner. Hurley, Norblad, Patterson and Handley were opposed to the anti-Datonted navemont bills un less they were shown that they would not tie the hands of the state highway commission to the detriment of the state by preventing the commission from contracting for the best payment for the money to be expended. Senate bill 48 provides that prior to calling for bids on any patented pavement, the patentee must file a dec laration .etting forth the price he will chnrgc for tho uso of his patented ar ticle so that all bidders will be on the same basis in regard to the payment of pavement royalties. There was a wide division in opinion as to whether this bill would accom plish the results desired, and the com mittee agreed to put it up to tho at torney general to pass upon it from a legal standpoint.

The attorneys mado their open ing arguments to the jury this morning. The court recessed at noon, throwing the closing arguments and charge to the jury over until Monday morning. Tho fenturo of tho caso Friday aft ernoon' was tho defendant's denial that he had been in Baltimore in 1916 and visited the submarine Dontschland and talked with Captain Koonig, and his denial that lie ovor offered -to bet with anyono about the' outcome of the war. - As soon as Albers li ft tho stand the government called Prop Haines, a Ilar ncy county merchant ,who testified Al berg told hira ho had visited the Dcutscii land and Koenlg.
