When Is a Battery Abused ?
Anybody who understands batteries will tell you that
there are five things that must be avoided if your battery
is to serve you long and well.
1. Solution low, so.that water line shows on plates.
2. Battery overheated or overworked.
I!. Battery charged in reverse.
4. Battery flushed with acid.
5. Foreign substance added.
Any of these are positive abuses, and will injure
your battery permanently.

Realizing Fuel Economy Expectations Continued
'The ( Car, Badly Driven, Will Fall Bhort In Effleiency
M T IS ALWAYS BOSSIllLE that the failure of an Individual user to
obtain from his cur a fuel ellicloncy comparable with that shown by
Q other identical cars may not be entirely attributable to detects la
U ihu particular car nnd Its adjustment, but may be the result of the '
maimer In which the car la maintained and driven. Among operative
errors which lead to fuel waste are the following: Driving long dis
tances either at extrcmuly high or ut extremely low gpeeda. Both prac-'
Hoes are vory wasteful und a gullon of fuel goea a very little way under
tliosfl conditions, as comuarod with what It does at 20 or 25 miles per1
hour. Failure to run tho spark as much advanced as praotloahle, result
lug In tho throwing nwny of much valuable heat enorgy. Failure to
change to a lowor gear when the engine 1ms slowed down, under load,
to bulow Its cconoiiilcul speed, slipping of the clutch, for speed regulat
ing purposes, instead o( using the throttle, which results In substantial
In d loss duu to eiiKino racing. Racing the engine unuecossarlly to warm
It up, Idling It when it might better be shut down and Idling It unneces
sarily fust. Failure to take adviintngo of the cars coasting ability, by
throwing tho Bourn Into neutral nnd shutting down the engine on long
down grades. Accelerating with uncalled for rapidity, when starting
and when under wuy nnd aaeriUclng expensively attained onr momentum,
by applying the brakes while still running nt high speed, lustcad of coast
ing up to the stopping point. Failure to conserve engine boat by keep
ing the radiator fhiuld'-cl, thus Increasing the waste of fuel at eaoh start.
Failure to always employ the leanest Tuol mixture upon which the onglne
oan be successfully run, alter it Is warmed, and carelessness lu leaving
the ciirbiirotor nir supply choked, nftor starting, longer than It need be.
Kvon with a perfectly conditioned car. operaltve errors can reduce fuel
olllcieucy pretty low, but combined with a oar that Is "out of sorts," the
result of unskilled driving on fuel efficiency Is appalling.

Ike tetal dis'.uiicu between Coquillc
iiini Bandon by wav of Coos Bay u
about b' miles.
At Bandon the motorist Irom the iu
laiul gets the first real intimation that
ho is in the seaeoast country, exiept
for the few minutes he ., or umv no;
have taken to make the detour to Sur.
set Buy. Technically the city is known
as Bnndoii-by-the-.Sea und "by the sen "
it surely is. The business section of the
town is largely built on piling nnd ex
tends within a quarter of a mile of
the mouth of the Coquillo river. Al
most any day two or three lumber
schooners are to bo seen lying at the
docks and tho tang of ocean sail 1b
strong iu the air.
The bea:h at Bandon is one of tho
most picturesque to be found along the
Oregon coast. The inshore waters are
abundantly dotted with large nnq small
rocks against which the surf bents con
stantly and from the high bluff behind
the beach an unobstructed view of the
ocean for miles is to bo hu-d. The light
house and coast guard stations both
hold more than passing interest for the
nvcrajrc tourist.
Sand Is Encountered.
As Bandon is the last poiut where
good garage nnd repair facilities arc to
be had until California is reached, it is
good policy to go over the car well here,
(las and oil can be secured at frequent
intervals nlong the road, but a scrietis
mishap to the car may mean several
days delay.
With the exception of a few short
stretches the road south, of Bandon is
in good condition during the entire
summer. Sand is the chief obstacle to
be contended with, especially along the
iirst J3 miles of the route south 'of
liandnn to the Curry county line. Lang
lois, four miles from the line, is the
first town reached in Curry count v.
Three miles beyond is beautiful Floras
Crock, which offers good trout fishing
iu its upper reaches.
liakeport Worth Seeing.
An enjoyable side, trip can be made
from Denmark, a mile and a half If I

port, known ns the deserted village of I
e Oregon const. l.akcport IS a j
"boom tortn" that boomed except inna I-i
ty lust uuring the years between Bins
and lull nnd fell fl.it in a few mouths.
The project which the promoters had
iu mind when they first started tho
town, first known as Sunset City, was
to convert the beautiful Floras Lake,
a fresh water body about five miles
long and separated from the ocean at its
northern end by only a narrow spit of
sand, into a seaport outlet for the vast
timber resources of northern Curry
county by building a canal between the
lake and the ocean. The canal project
was surveyed several times and a few
energetie citizens of the town that had
sprung up on the bluff ovcr.ooking the
lake even stinted to excuvate for the
waterway at one time. A three story
hotel, several business houses aud a
number of modern bungalows sprang up
ulenc the streets that had been cut out
of the forest to a distance of s mile
ba. k from the lake nnd a mil of good
si.e was built ou one of the arms of
the lake.
Three Milo Walk.
At the height of its prosperity l.nke
port boasted of 4oo people. Today
there are oniy two or three families in
the neighborhood. The bottom simply
dropped out of the fanciful project.
The hotel and stores are fust failing
into ruins and brush nnd other wild
growth is running rampant where the
streets and yards used to be. But fur
all of its desolation, Lnkeport is as
pretty a sjmt as is to be found any
where aud the Juke beautiful beyond
description. Trout fishing of the kiud
found there is real sport.
It is not always possible to drive a
car into 1-akeport from Denmark, due
to drifting sand, and it is policy to
make the trip on foot, as it is only
about two nnd a half miles.
Another interesting side trip in this
vicinity r.nd one that can lie made byi
auto, is that to Cape Blanco, the most ,
westerly point on the mainland of the:

Port Orford Agates.
By leaving Bandon in the morning
and making both of the side trips sug
gested the motorist should be utile to
reach Port Orford, ucstled in cove
formed by an arm of the ocean, in
plenty of time for the evening meal.
Port Orford is famed for the agates
gathered on the nearby beaches and it
is true that they can be gathered by
the bucketfull.
From Port Orford to the California
line, about 00 miles, the scenery is cx
ceptionally beautiful. The road follows
the coast most of the distance with a
full view of the ocean, sometimes from
great heights, possibly from muny piss
es. At Wcddcrburn, 28 miles south of
I'ort Orford, a ferry transports tne traf
fic across Rogue river to Gold Beach,
tho county seat of Curry county, and a
very attractive town of tho frontier
type.
The first 17 miles of the roar south
of Gold Beach is such as to necessitate
careful driving, for it is an almost con
stant climb. Mountain Ranch, where
the road reaches the summit and starts
oirits 1") miles of down grade to Brook
ings, the lust town in Oregon, is bet
ter than 4000 feet above level of
the ocean. The road over the greater
part of this 17 mile grade is narrow
and rough iu places aud is full of sharp
turns.
For those who make the trip as out
lined here it is filled with pleasant vir
prises and not soon forgotten.
Gilbert Advises East Side
Road To Portland Just Now
Keep to the Eust Hide road in making
the trip to Portland from Salem if yon
want to avoid a lot of grif and bad
driving. Such is tho advice of Leo L
Gilbert, sttae distributor for the Elgin
Six, who returned from a drive to the
Rose City, Tuesday.
In his round trip to Portland Mr. Gil
bert covered both the east and tho west
side routes nnd says that, wntie the
west side road can be navigated, the
going is bad, especially thiB side of
Uopeville. He reports tho road on the
east side of the river ns rough t in spots,
but says these are rapidly being smooth
ed out by crews now at work all along
the line. The drive ho savs, can easily
be mado In two and a half hours.
