be noises and grinds in the transmission
gear or rear axle.
Owners usually attribute such troub,
les to faults in the ear, when as n mat
ter of fact it is the drivers : own care.
lessness that is to blame.
Hard Wear in Quick Stops.
1t Is not usual to hear that certain
cars are hard on tires Some cars are
so through improper balance or through
having too small tires. Yet how many
drivers do you see on the street every
day who stop their ears in twenty feet,
when there is no reason on earth why
they should not use forty feet. Often
in approaching q corner where there is
crowded traffic a great many drivers
maintain their speed up to within few
yards of the crossing, then with Wig.
orous application Of the brakes come to
n sudden stop IN such a case the pave.
ment acts like a coarse file on the tires
and wears away valuable rubber.
Quick stopping is sometimes necessary,
but very rarely so, when one is driving
in city traffic. Discretion in the mat.
ter Of traffic viii save much of the tire
wear about which owners have com.
planned.
The question Of brakes, too, is one Of
the most important in driving. The
brakes are not put on automobiles for
the purpose Of stopping the wheels, but
TO compel the wheels to travel slowly.
II is wcll.known fact that if the
brakes of street car or locomotive
are applied so hard that the wheels stop
entirely the result is flat wheel. The
same conditions apply in applying the
brakes TO an automobile. OF course
you do not hear the flat wheels, but you
have, nevertheless, worn flat places on
your rear tires
Begin to pull your ear up early
enough to allow Of your applying the
brakes gently in bringing the car to
gradual stop without iolting yourself
or your passenger. and without running
your tires and straining the mechanism
Of the acr.
Another common fault in driving is
in allowing the motor to trace - Espe.
cially in crowded traffic you frequent.
" see driver throw his clutch out and
apply his brakes, reducing the speed
from twenty miles an hour to say five
miles an hour without reducing the
speed Of his motor Allowing the mo.
tor to race simply uses up some Of the
efficiency Of the car that ought to be
conserved for mileage. The fault per.
mitted frequently means loose valves
and knocks in the motor. When these
develop don't lecture the repair man
with a complaint about your car, but
study your own driving little and
find out if perhaps you are not at
fault.
Strain in Sharp Turns.
II is in the matter Of turning corners,
perhaps that the average automobile
driver is most greatly at fault. II still
remains 20 be proved that dashing
around corners at high speed savts any
time, and It is certainly productive Of
many accidents.

NEW CARS ATTRACT
ATTENTION Of PUBLIC
Salem Maxwell Dealer Claims
Public Are Motor Wise"
In All Respects

"lt is natural that people want to
see the new things in automobiles as
they are placed on the market" said
MIR. Rees, of the Rees 4 Elgin company,
in talking with u journal man yester.
day.
1T is the same all over the country,
whether in Malone or Kankakee or Los
Angeles. The moment a new ear is an.
nounced in flock the people to have
look 1t seems that ever since the in
ception of the automobile, people have
always been anxious to keep informed
on happenings in the automobile in
dustry.
"In talking with Mr. c. f. Stebbins.
sales manager of the Maxwell company
the other day, he mentioned that people
were asking far more intelligent ques.
tions at the automobile shows this year
than they had ever asked at previous
shows. This also proves my contention
that you cannot sell an unproven car,
no mater how much interest is shown
in it, because the purchasers today have
been taught that because Il thing is new
does not prove its durability nor its eff.
ficiency Every man is willing to let
his neighbor experiment with the new
thing, while he buys a car that has
proven itself by at least two or three
years service in hundreds Of owners
hands 1t is now about three years
since the Maxwell company put the
$3.50 car on the market.
''It was the first company to put q
ear Of so much value at this price on
| the market. Before its advent, this
price field remained untouched in 9th,
er words there were many ears in the
market of lower price, as well as many
of higher price, but there wasn't {
car rating around the price of the Max
well. 1t remained for Mr.. Walter
Flanders, president Of the Maxwell Mo
tor company, to recognize that the pub
lie were looking for ear embracing al
the features of a car of much highe
tween the lowest and medium price
tween thelowest aud medium price
cars. That his Judgment and foresigl
were sound is best answered by II

SALEM FANS MUST SHOW
INTEREST TO GET TEAM
Baseball Team Cannot Be
Made By Single Promoter
Without Support

Albany has begun the organization
of a baseball team, Eugene has felt the
stir, the boys of the Oregon tSate
training school are practicing, and the
thousands Of small boys in the city
have begun to look for the biggest
baseball glove that 35 cents will buy.
Still the Salem baseball bug wriggles
but refuses to venture out and boost
for a baseball team. A movement was
launched last week to interest the local
fans in the proposition of starting a
baseball team that would be a credit
to the city. individuals said "Sure, it
will be a fine thing. I'd like to see a
baseball team here this summer, and
there the matter rests.
The proposition started this year in
an effort to place the baseball bust.
ness in this city upon a sound business
basis. John d. Turner has promised to
give up part of his time to promote and
manage the team but Mr.. Turner will
charge nothing for his services and
cannot be expected to spend all of mis-
time for nothing. Mr.. Turner promised
conscientious administration and to
devote his time and energy to the
proposition once it was started under
way but he has not the time to pro-
mote the whole proposition.
Again it is not one man PROPOSE.
tion and the people of the city who are
interested in the national game were
to be given chance to subscribe to
some baseball stock in order that they
would take greater interest in the
team.
