FRANCE PREPARING
FOR AUTO TOURISTS

The problem of receiving the
thousands of automobile tourists
that are expected to come here from
America next summer has already
been tackled by the authorities, ac-
cording to word from Paris. In
structions have been sent out to the
projects of the departments of
France that proper facilities may
be accorded The visiting motorist.
The instructions provide that
American tourists will not be COM
PEELED to have their cars inspected
by the Service des Mines. il 'such
cars already have circulation per-
NIT issued in the United States and
are duly registered in that country.
Tourists also will not have to pass
a drivers examination IL they have
an American drivers license. Two
cards will be issued to each tourist
presenting his cara gray card
covering the registration of the au-
tomobile and a pink card for the
driver.
To take advantage of this con-
cession, the tourist must present
the American receipt for the decla-
ration of the car and the American
drivers permit. In the absence of
these, certified copies will be ac-
cepted. Two unmounted photo
craps of the driver must be attach
ed to the pink card. On landing, a
receipt for S20.25 francs (S3.91) at
normal exchange) will be paid to
the collector of direct taxation.

JY A MOTOR CAR WEEK. MARCH 22-27 INCLUSIVE
FASHION APPRAISES
AUTOS LIKE. CLOTHES

Z Fine appearance in an automo-
bile is rapidly coming TO be sought
by prospective owners as much as
any other quality such as power.
speed or economy" Is the statement
of General Sales Manager John
Tainsh of the Mitchell Motors Com
pany. Inc.
The mere fact of owning a car no.
longer lends distinction to tha
owner, and people have come to
base their estimate of the owners
position In lifb by the appearance
of the car he drives. 1t is just like
his house or his clothes. People like
to have good looking houses and
stylish and attractive clothes npt
merely for the pleasure which their
beauty gives but because of the
standing derived from their. good
appearance" -
And SO beauty of ine and fine
finish Of automobiles have scome to
have a new significance. We aim to
give the Mitchell owner as much
service in the appearance of the
body as he desires in the perform
ance of the chassis"
That this has been a sound poll
icy, is amply proven by the enthusi-
astic reception With which these
new cars have met from the moment
the show first opened. 1t is not an
exaggeration to say that they have
been the very center of attraction
during the entire exhibit because
there has always been a large and
interested crowd surrounding the
Mitchell display while comments
about the novel SloDed lines ara
heard all over the show"

WRITER URGES
GASOLINE TAX
Thinks Car Owners Should
Be Made to Pay for
Using Roads.

II one is willing to concede that
the highway is a public utility, the
use of which is to be paid for ac-
cording to the'miieage OF ones ve-
,hicle.y a tax on fuel should present
a fairly scientific plan of taxation.
argues a writer in the current issue
of American Motorist under the cap
tion shall Motor Taxation of the
Future Be Placed on a Gasoline
Using Basis?" The inspiration for
this article is the present apptca-
tion OF a gasoline tax in Orekon.
where, according. to some prominent
motoring osegonians, the. plan is
giving general satisfaction
Oregon Is the first of the States to
try out a gasoline tax, and while
this is. not in lieu of all other taxes,
the car owner is not compelled to
settle. on a personal property listing
as well as on the so-called registra-
tion tax based on Horsepower rat
ing.
The new Oregon law went into
effect March /, 1919, and for the
ten-mopth period up TO January /.
1920, there was. collected from some
$4,000 automobiles s200,795. which
represents a tax of one cent a gallon
on distillate. 1t is estimated that
the 1920 revenue will exceed half a
million dollars. q. =.
Continuing, the writer says:
True il is-and absolutely true
that highways confer a general ad-
vantage to all classes of citizens,
and in consequence all classes should
pay for the original construction
of the road, which simply means
that all who share in benefits should
share proportionately in costs, keep
ing in mind that all taxes shall be
levied in proportion to the exact
value of all property and all citizens
shall be taxed at the same rate"
According TO c. +. Wright. presi-
dent Of the Oregon State Motor As
sociation, the tax has met with
almost universal approval. Motor
fuel taxation has been in effect in
the British Isles for sometime, and
1T has the Endorsement of the Auto
mobile Association and Motor Union
of Great Britain.

Sells Tires by Phone.

Few people would think of the
telephone as a means of selling
tubes for automobiles, although
Bells invention is widely used by
housewives for ordering everything
from groceries to furniture. II. Fl.
Hoff, manager Of the Duluth branch
of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber
Company. employs this scheme.
Whenever he sees a pneumatic
equipped truck with tires under
inflated go by, he calls the owner
on the telephone and warns him of
the consequences. The owner is
always pleased to get the informa-
tion and the good will brought
about by the phone call usually
leads to future purchases.

TRUCKS BRING
FARM TOCITY
Let Farmer Sleep Later and
Buyers Get Direct and
Fresher Produce.

The public market. formerly an
exclusive feature of every Euro
pean city. has moved to America,
thanks, to the motor truck" says
G. A. Kissel. president of the Kissel
Motor Car Company.
These public markets were tried
out before the advent of the motor
truck and in good many. centers
were a success, but nothing as COM
pared with those of today because
as one farm owner of a KisseI
truck wrote to me the other day.
The day we purchased our truck
gave us an additional two hours
of sleep in the morning. Ny son
and myself used to have to get up
at o'clock in the morning. load
the wagon. hitch the horses and
start out on the. long drive to town
so that we could arrive. at the
farmers market at Z o'clock.
Goods Were Fresh.
But now with out motor truck
We do not have to leave the farm
before s. o'clock in the morning.
Our vegetables and produce are
more fresh. one of the reasons why.
since employing a truck, our busi-
ness at the market has more than
doubled"
There you have the secret of the
popularity of the farmers public
market of today. The farmers pro-
duce. fruit and vegetables are
fresh from the farm" with the dew
stilf on, enabling the housewife to
get as fresh vegetables as IL she,
herself. went out into the garden
and picked them.
Haul Five Times Old Load.
Due to it's ability to haul three
to five times the load of the ordi-
nary horse and wagon outfit, the
truck has created a tendency to
lower prices of farm produce This
tendency will increase in the future
as more motor trucks are employed
by the farmers and truck garden
ers."

Auto Window Repairs.

To repair celluloid automobile
windows is not nearly as difficult a
job as may be assumed, according
to American Motorist. which goes
on to say:
The job requires only some sheet
celluloid - sold by every top re-
pairer and by many automobile
supply houses - and some celluloid
cement. The latter makes ii un-
necessary to use needle and thread
in replacing windows. Smaller
breaks or rips in the celluloid may
be repaired by cementing a patch
of new celluloid over ii, which will
give excellent service for a long
time"

WAITED FOR CHANCE

Celebrating his debut as a pro-

the motor speedway's most, seas
oned warriors, and by winning the
gruelling 250-mile grind without a
. tire change, was the amazing per-
formance OF Mechanician Jimmy
Murphy at the recent opening of
the new Los Angeles speedway at
Beverly Hills.
Without parallel in the annals of
automobile racing. Murphy's sudden
leap to fame and swift transforma-
ton from an unheard-of mechani-
clan to a driver of world renown,
has set the motor world agog and
buzzing with tense excitement. The
new champion of the speedway al
ready is hailed as one of the sport
worlds popular heroes of the day.
and as a driver who will remain a
dominant figure in motor racing for
years TO come.

Jimmy Murphy had stifled his

STATES PASS BUCK.
ON GOOD ROADS BILL

When the Federal aid road act
was passed by Congress in 1916, 1t
was the hope Of those who favored
this legislation that il would result
in the establishment in, all of the
States of efficient highway depart
ments and that the States them
selves would be energized into
taking an active part in financing
road construction and maintenance.
This is the observation of N. o.
Eldridge. director of roads for the
A. A. A. writing in the current
number of American Motorist.
Continuing. Mr.. Eldridge says:
"HigkYay departments of one
kind ah3 another have now been
established in all States. but un-
fortunately. certain commonwealths
are providing little or no State
money TO meet Federal aid dollars.
In these States the highway de-
partments have become merely
clearing houses through which the
Federal government carries on its
counties.
states which fail to provide ade-
quate State funds with which to
meet the Federal funds in a meas
ure are failing TO function as
States. Thus their highway de-
partments have become merely pa
per organizations created by legIs-
lstive action in order to comply
with the letter of the Federal aid
law. Certainly if the Federal gov
ernment can appropriate money to
help the poorer States build roads,
then il follows that these States
should in all fairness be willing to
appropriate State money to help the
poorer counties meet this Federal
help instead of passing the buck
to the rich counties"
