Motorcyclists
Ascend 5000
Feet on Peak

Waiting until the brisk cool OF the
night had frozen the surface OF the
SHOWS on majestic Mount Hood, Hen
ry Kurtis, Edward Carlson and Bur
CESS Rice, all of Portland. Ore, rode
their Indian powerplus motorcycles up
the side of the mountain until they
reached an altitude of 5000 feet, which
eclipses the former motorcycle rec
ord by 1000 feet
The machines travelled the entire
distance entirely by their own power.
The cyclists left Portland at 5 o'clock
Saturday afternoon. arriving at gov
eminent camp about 9 p. m. This was
remarkably good time for the sixty
miles of exceptionally rough road
which was traversed. Part of the
night was spent at Pridemore's hotel,
the riders rising at 2 a. m. for an early
start toward Emergency camp, locat-
ed right at the foot of the mountain
proper.
Leaving Emergency camp at Sis,
they began the ride up the mountain
side with the crust of the snow bear
ing them up in fine shape, Occasion
ally as the grade steepened, machine
and rider were buried in the snow,
only to pull themselves and machines
out and continue.
BY 9 a. m. the. riders objective,
Illumination point, was reached sue
cessfully. Here only brief rest was
allowed on account of the fast melt
ing snow, which promised to make the
descent more difficult and dangerous
than was the ascent
The return trip, however. was with
out incident save for few spills oc-
casioned by the weakened crust. The
party reached Emergency camp on the

big EXPANSION
NECESSITATEDB BY
LARGE OUTPUT

With the close of the 1916 selling
season, July l. the Hupp Motor Car
Corporation announced an increase
in business over the 1915 season OF
47.3 per cent.
During the last season the floor
space in the Hupmobile factories has
been increased 939 per cent. praetic-
ally doubling the space of one year
ago.
Because of the extensive building
operations affecting every structure
in the big Detroit plant. the COM
pany, year ago, set minimum pro-
duction schedule about equal to the
business of the biggest previous year.
In spite of plant additions, this
schedule has been beaten in every
month but one of the last season.
With the buildings now being COM
pleted, the Hupmobile plant will have
a capacity more than double that of
one year ago.

MOTORISTS PROVE TO
BE STRICTLY NEUTRAL

Two men arrived in Santa Cruz the
other day and they declared that they
were thoroughly neutral. Their car
was equipped with two German tires,
made in Hanover. Germany; one
French tire, made in Michelin.
France; between the German and
French tires is carried an American

this strange combination had given
any trouble, the smiling reply was,

some knowledge of the old English

very modestly replied. Yes, / am

FRANKLIN PLANT
HAS new SCALE
OF WAGE Rates

Facts which are systematically re-
corded at regular intervals and tell
precisely the quantity and value OF
services performed by workman,
now fix individual wage rates at the
Franklin automobile plant in SYRIA
cuse, N. Y.
This system, developed by the
Franklin company, represents the first
attempt In this company to measure
the value OF factory workers with
mathematical certainty and conse-
quent equity for both employer and
employees.
The method has proved success SO
FAR and Is gradually being applied to
all Of the 1000 workmen at the plant,
who can properly be rated. At pres
emit about 400 men are under the sys-
TEN.
Proficiency, reliability. continuity
Of service. indirect charges, the cost
of living and periods Of lay-off are fac
tors which determine. for example,
whether John Doe, operating lathe,
shall receive 35 cents or As cents an
hour as base rate.
First, an employees record Is in
vestigated, and from this information
are determined the factors of an
algebraic equation, which is then
solved.
The solution is the day rate per
hour, upon which the worker has an
opportunity to earn a steady premium.
The higher the premium he earns, the
higher the base rate rises. Fixing
premiums is a complex problem due
to the conditions imposed. But here
are the essential elements:
Rate of production.
Spoiled work or damage to equip
ment.
Years Of continuous service.
Lateness and absence
Number of major processes which
the worker can do.
Monetary responsibility which is
placed in the hands OF the worker.
With a base rate fixed, 1t is up to
the employe to make a record on his
rating reports which will fatten his
pay envelope. Several months ex-
perience has shown an eagerness on
the part OF the employees to take adj
vantage of the new opportunity, and
as a result there has been a general
increase in the wages of the persons
rated

CADILLAC Wins
RACE in TRIAL
MISSOULA RUN

According to the account in the Ana
Conda Standard of Anaconda, Mont.
the male inhabitants OF that part of
the country have enough red blood
left to be thrilled by daring motor
car dash against time. Moreover. the
paper says they wagered thousands
of dollars on the event.
The car was a Cadillac Eight. The
man was Herbert Riley of Butte. The
distance was from Butte to Missoula.
The time was 3 hours, go minutes and
80 seconds.
Riley is known throughout that part
of Montana as daring driver When
il became known that he was going
after the record - made only few
DAYS before-interest became intense,
and wagers were laid in great num-
bers. The previous record was made
in the transcontinental relay which
carried an army message from Ply
mouth, Mass. to Seattle. Wash, and
Riley's time beat it by 8, IL minutes,
The run was not made without ex-
citing incident. A tire was punctured
while the car was travelling 55 miles
an hour, throwing it hroadside into a
culvert Nd serious damage was done
and the men were unhurt. The car
dropped into pitch-hole in the road,
breaking the radiator hose connection,
which Riley's companion repaired tenn
porarily as the car was making 40
miles an hour. Riley made the last
eight miles at slow speed. owing to a
fiat tire. The Cadillac's best speed

kEsPINc RUST AWAY
FROM MOTOR CARS

When 1t is known that metal parts.
which are implanted are to be exposed
TO the air for any length Of time,
proper precaution should be taken to
prevent rusting. It Is the usual thing
TO dry the part and protect It by coat
ing with film of grease or oil. but a
large axle manufacturer employs a
more certain method. The parts are
covered with cup grease, over which
is wrapped . piece of special fabric.
This latter is made by pasting piece
of loosely woven burlap. The reason
this is used is because 1t has the
property of absorbing moisture. which
causes the rusting. Any owner can
make such fabric by covering a piece
of fairly thick wrapping paper with a
