Mr.. Vinton is a native of the Hoosier
State, his first business experience be-
Ing In the mechanical rubber business
with a large jobber OF mill supplies
in indianapolis. After four years he
went with the q. & J. Tire Co., now
q part Of the U. s. Rubber Co. During
his eight years in the tire business his
experience was varied. From a travel
ling representative he was advanced to
branch manager Of their Cleveland
branch; then to the rnanagershlp Of the
New York branch, and during his last
two years with the @. g. ]. company
was assistant sales manager at the
Indianapolis factory.
During those earlier years Mr.. Vim
ton gained wide experience In the fields
Of both mechanical rubber goods and
In the marketing Of automobile tires,
no that in his new position he returns
to line with which he ia thoroughly
familiar. In the past nine years he has
gotten somewhat away from the rub

Mash products have been in demand

Gently to stop adding to Its dealer force

In the organization. Since the armistice
was signed orders from dealers have
been doubled and trebled.
Charles W. Nash, president of the
Nash Motors Company. visited the new
headquarters a few days ago and met
and talked to nearly hundred dealers
and statesmen who operate in this terri
tory under Mr.. Warren's direction. The
next day he talked to as many more

The Warren-Nash Motor Corporation,
wholesale distributors of Nash passen-
ger cars and trucks and Nash quads,
because of phenomenal growth since
October /, 1917, when,it was organized
by Charles B. Warren, has had to take
an entire building at Is and 20 West
Sixty-third street to properly display
Its line and to adequately meet admin
istrative and service requirements The
new headquarters are in a three story
and basement building half a block
east Of Broadway. The ground floor
Is used for the handling of cars for
delivery, the second floor takes care
OF the stock room and car storage and
the third floor is given up to the offices
and large exhibition room where six
types OF passenger cars and Ave types
or trucks are on display.
The former headquarters were at 1913
West Sixty-fourth street, where the
company opened for business in 1917
with Mr.. Warren and one employee In
charge. 1t was a decidedly unusual
venture to take over only the wholesale
business for n large territory and es-
tablish strong local dealer connections
in the big selling centres. When Mr.
Warren left the New York managership
Of the General Motors Truck Company
to work with the Nash interests under
such an arrangement there were many
OF his friends who said 1t couldn't be
done. The recent big move to much
larger headquarters. which the growth
or the business has made necessary, is
the answer to those who were doubtful
about the success of tho project AL
though Mr.. Warren had to contend
with war time conditions In getting his
organization under way. he went ahead
and established some of the strongest
dealer connections possible In the East
His original territory included New
York State as far north as Lake George
and as far west as Utica. western Con-
necticut and northern New Jersey. At

HIGHWAY EXPRESS
ROUTE is FEASIBLE
Remarkable 100 Mile Truck
Line Between Portland and
Salem Established.

In the seventies Capt. Hugh B. Scott
began the operation OF a light draft
reamer on the Willamette River. be-
tween Portland and Salem. This was
rory much a business venture in those
Jaws and Few people believed the line
you'd succeed. But II did.
The steamboat line was a success for
time, but the Southern Pacific Rail-
road furnished speedier transportation
betwpen these two points which almost
wholly replaced the slower steamboats,
some years later.
However, short haul lines are not
profitable TO the railroads, and the
sfty-fve miles between Portland and
Salem is in this short haul class. 1t is
On such hauls that motor trucks are
demonstrating their value.
Such motor truck line. the High
way Rapid Transit. has been in opera
ton several months, and strange to say
E. B. Scott. the son of Capt. H. B.
Scott, is the man who hrst put on n
Sect Of trucks, just as his father first
turned TO the steamboats,.
Three Federals are In use, two OF
three and one-half tons and two
.onner, the heavy trucks making, n
round trip every twenty-four hours
thus giving day and night service. The
.vo tonner makes the round trip only
on rush days, being used mostly on
pickup and delivery work at Portland.
The company contemplates putting on
pne tonners at each end for pick up
work and using the two tonner on regu-
ar schedule.
The freight rate ranges from 80
.ents to 40 cents per 100 pounds. The
line has had 80 much business that Ave
90 tal 81.
The main difficulty just now is some
twenty miles Of rather rough and muddy
roads that mean slow going and some
ielay. This stretch lengthens the time
70 about nine hours for the fifty-fiye
nile trip on way. However, consider
tng all necessary stops. this 40 miles
every twenty-four hours is very good
lime.
When the character OF the country
through which the line passes Is under
stood ire value of the service Is even
more apparent. The entire route over
The Pacific highway is we'll settled, most
b the land being fertile agricultural
and. From these farms milk, butter,
Eggs, poultry, veal, hogs and vegetables
are sent TO market. The night trucks
bring in most OF the farm products,
arriving at the best time to market
tuch produce ana bringing II in in better
condition. The line has increased the
production of farm produce by furnish
Ing better marketing facilities. 1t en-
ables the farmer to dispose of small lots
OF produce, milk or eggs which other
wise would never reach the market
This increases the farmers output and
profits and because Of added supply
will tend to reduce prices to consumer.
The line also cuts out middlemen as tina
farmer can send direct to the market
This is indeed a practical application OF
the principles of the rural motor ex-
press as advocated by the Highways
Transport Committee.

ties, with stops at Portland and Fulton

THE HOUSEHOLD
KEEP THE WINDOWS UP

Unquestionably there is something pleasant to many people about the at mosphere of room that is cozily closed up against the breezes and draughts and perchance dust and noises of the outside world There are pleasant little domestic odors that are more percept- able when autumn comes and windows begin to be closed. There is the aroma of afternoon tea and the scent of chrys- anthcmums from the living room table, and just suspicion of the very high priced cigar or cigarette being smoked in the library beyond and a mere sus- picion of the fabric smell that comes from the new silk curtains that have just been hung. On the whole it is a very we'll bred pleasant smell, and one reason why you like it is because it suggests the delightful afternoons that you spend indoors when cool weather comes, afternoons that are really re- lief after too much country club and motoring and summer hotel verandas.
 And in the morning after you have dressed in your bedroom, still chilly from the windows that have been wide open all night-for at least you feel ir your duty to keep your windows open at night-you come down stairs quite content to have the dining room win dows and doors closed. You have not exercised, of course, and you feel con- vinced that you would shiver if the windows were open, although as a mat ter of fact the morning sunshine would really add to the wholesome tone of the indoor atmosphere
 Still you know the chief reason why pneumonia and other pulmonary dis eases demand so much larger toll of death in winter than in summer is be- cause of the closed windows. As our windows close, the curve in the chart in the department of health that shows the number of cases of pneumonia in creeses and as our windows open again with ,he coming of spring the curve decreases
 It would really be a great thing if we just didn't get back ir our old closed window habit this autumn. If we could accustom ourselves to living in rooms that W ere as well ventilated and as cook as those of our English cousins who depend so largely on open fires fo1 heat in cold weather, then we would have tepefited ourselves ,m- mensely. If we could take a few set tipg-up exercises every morning to be- gin with then we would not have this timid.ty about opening the windows to begin with.

that no one spends time on trimming g it. The fact that one of the manne- quins at the house of Doeuillet when asked the name of her gown answered, "A Smile" caused the American buyers to shout their approval for it was only smile and a string of beads. The name is now given to all the new decol- lete frocks by those who are amused at the present fashions.
 Therefore it is on the skirt that the cocks feathers get their grip, although that word is rather strong for the man ner in which the feather is attached to the surface. When little chicken feathers are used they are sometimes quite stiffly applied, but this is on serge, not on tulle or lace.
 Premet has gown for dancing in which long quils are used, dyed deep red, each stem outlined with jet and jet ball hanging from the end. Prob ably Premet puts more emphasis on chicken feathers than all the other houses, and her designers have taken the barnyard in its entirety through which to carry out their experiments. It sounds simple, this chicken feather trimming and one may be deluded into thinking that it is cheap, but it is the better part of wisdom to discard both these theories. When the coon and 'possum became fashionable furs they were regarded as the cheapest food, and the negro who made his succulent supper on these two bilegerent little beasts would have rolled his eyes to heaven at the mere mention of the price asked for their hides when they were placed on a fashionable coat.
 So it is with chickens, with this ex ception, that poultry is not cheap. Ii is very expensive in Paris as in Amer ica, and the French have decided evil dently that they will use feathers, feet and flash.
