An automobile school for the training
of policemen to an accurate knowledge
of the different makes of cars is the
latest stunt" in New York city. The
courses of instruction are being given
at police headquarters in the metro

increasing the efficiency of the mem

The immediate objects of the school,
as stated by one of the inspectors,
who is in charge of the general train

and to identify cars used in the COM

KEEP AUTO ENGINE CLEAN
TO OBTAIN BEST SERVICE
Value of Constant Care and
Spotlessness Is
Cited.

If you go into the engine room of the
average large factory you will ma
everything spotless. The brass or the
big steam engines and the railipgs will
be polished to finish. and the floors
will look as if they are scrubbed sew
eral times a day. says a writer in Motor
Print. The heads of the plant Will not
have il any other way and the engi-
neer realizes that if he is to keep
everything in the best running condl-
ton he must have oil and dirt wiped
away Immediately.
Dust would soon settle where oil was
spilled and in a short time a gummy
mass would result. Allowing oil spots
to accumulate. the surfaces OF the Dig
turbines or steam engines of genera
tors would soon become greasy. and
this in time would tend to get into the
lubricating oil, into the bearings ana
other contact surfaces.
The car owner should regard his en-
CINE and its surrounding parts as the
power plant of his small factory on
wheels. and if he would get best efh-
cheney should keep il pol1Shed ana
cleaned Just a $ the stationary engineer
would maintain his big power plant. 1t
takes so little extra time to wipe OIL
spilled oil or grit and the advantages
are so great from this little matter of
care that it seems almost unbeliev-
able.
Experience Can Be Told.
One can usually tell whether the
owner has had any experience with
other power machinery by the appear
ance Of the motor in his car. If it is
gummy and dirty it is safe to say that
he has had little previous contact with
the operation of machinery.

DECLARES FOR
OPENSHOP

Holding that the action Of the water
front unions of Portland in demanding
a higher wage is an obstacle to the
growth OF the community and the re-
establishment OF normal business. the
directors of the Portland Chamber OF
Commerce have adopted resolutions
which George f. Hardy, executive sec
Rotary. characterizeS as an open shop
declaration for the town.
The Central Labor Council has
withdrawn from membership in the
chamber in consequence, and has APP
pointed a committee to make pro-
test to the chamber against its action.
The resolutions follow:
Resolved. by the board of directors
OF the Portland Chamber of Com
merCe. assembled in special meeting
Thursday noon. June 10, that We will
insist upon at least as low wage
in the handling Of business on the
waterfront of this port as is paid on
the waterfront o. any competitive
port with which we are struggling for
business, regardless of any settlement
that is reached in the conference now
pending in San Francisco, or such as
may be later inaugurated for an ad-
justment Of the strike conditions, and
be it further
Resolved, by this board. that we
will oppose the carrying out OF the
apparent plan to establish the prin
ciples of closed shop to such an eX
tent as prevents the laborerS at one
stage of commercial movement from
handling commerce that has been han
died at another stage of the move
ment by what is termed by organized
labor as unfair or 'nonunion' help,
and that the principle of a closed
shop as applied to the business of
this port, which would have the eff
feet of limiting the work of industries
and any commercial operations to only
limited number of men, who, under
the guise of organized labor. seek to
restrict selfishly the work to its own
members, and to the detriment of
others who desire to engage in the
work, is opposed to the best interests
Of the community and is an infringe
ment upon the rights Of citizenship
guaranteed by the Constitution of the
United States and the state of Oregon,
and should be overcome by the bust
ness people and all other elements of
the community who believe in the
principle of personal liberty and in
dfvidual rights, and in the largest pos
sible opportunity for all people to- la
Dor, regardless of their affiliations"
