CLEAN AS YOU

The campaign to interest motor
vaeationists in the movement in
stituted by the Motorists League
for Countryside Preservation to
keep camp sites and highways free
from papers or other litter, is meet
ing with enthusiastic cooperation,
it was announced at the League S
headquarters today.
At the suggestion of officials of
the. League, the editors ef Motor,
the National magazine of Motoring
have undertaken to solve this prob
lem in the current issue of the ma
gazine. OF course, many munich
pally operated camp SITES are equip
ped with receptaclcS for the gar
bage and litter Of campers, but
many tourists prefer TO make their
stops at spots removed from such
sites. Motor suggests, in this con
nection, that garages be equipped
with barrels and that motorists con-
vev their after-thep picnlc litter 10
garages. Invariably, ears visit ga
RACES as they tour about and re-
fuse can be gathered up and taken
there without difficulty, and the
garage owner is certain TO get a
return in the way of sales OF fuel.

Four Elements In
Life of Battery
Says Local Man

One of the most frequent quer-
Ties the service station man re-
ceives is "How long will = battery
last?
"To ask such a question is Just
like asking the doctor how long you
will live states Mr.. Kindare, 10
cal Willard dealer. lie would tell

plenty of sleep and exercise ana did
lot of other things, You might
live to n ripe old age, barring ac-
eidents and provided there was
nothing organically wrong.
$50 it is not surprising that
even battery specialists are unable
to tell accurately how long bat
terry will last. It is fact that
sometimes an exceptional battery
will function for as long as ten
years, but the battery that lasts
for only a couple of months is like
wise an exception.
Things to Battery Life
"Bnt by this. do not mean that
a motorist has no guide to battery
values. Quite the contrary. As 4
matter of fact there are four
things that determine battery life.
They are use, time, care and the
quality of the battery itself.
1.-The first three factors are
wholly dependent on the individual
user of the battery.
"A car owner who drives TO-
600 miles :; year certainly takes
more out of his battery than one
who drives 5000 miles, just as a
pedestrian who walks n great deal
wears out his shoes faster than one
who stands most of his day at a
desk.
"The driver who starts and stops
frequently, with short runs in be-
tween. or who uses his lights to f.,
cess, is not recharging his battery
nearly so fast as he is discharging
if.
Care Is Essential
"Little need be said about care
of a battery. That the maximum
use from a battery NAV be obtained
by giving il proper care is a yell

OAKLAND SETS
UP new RECORD
in SPEED TEST
Recent COtati Event
Proves Stability of
Oakland

Keeling off lap after lap at ter
rifle speed an Oakland stock tour
ing car again accomplished tie al
most impossible by travelling 800
miles in 442 minutes on the Cotati
Speedway near San Francisco.
Under the supervision of San
Francisco newspaper men the Oal,-
land Six was started on its attempt
to set an entirely new speed record
for stock ears and its performance
sets an average of 67.s miles
an hour including stops for oil, gas
water and tires. The ear was GrIv-
en- by Bill Cooper and Leo NordeH-
schud.
ssTo set an average of 6T.S miles
an hour for hours and % minutes
including all stops, the Oakland Six
had TO do better than 20 miles IN
hour at times,'' says Chas. d. Mer-
rills. local Oakland dealer.
The result of this test only goes
to show that all the claims made
for the Oakland, both by those who
make it and by those who own them
are true. IT is such demonstrations
as this that make a full rounded
out story of Oakland 8 fitness and
quality construction. Sixty miles
an hour is fast for a stock car, but
to do 67.s miles an hour for more
than Z hours is a most remarkable
achievement. When the Oakland
set new record for speed between
Los Angeles and San Diego, negc-
tiating the 136 miles in hours
and minutes, the coupe which was
used in that run reached as high as
6S miles an hour and maintained il
as long as road conditions would
permit it.
1--WE feel that this speed test dis
closes the other side of Oakland
Six economy. 1t demonstrates why
the national average repair costs
on these cars is only 20 cents a
month and the winning of all the
recent economy runs proves the
fuel economy, or common under
standing of economy.

70 YEAR CADILLAC
CLIMBS ALL OVER
With QUEER LOAD
Owner, a Magician, Uses
Car. in Show
Business

The quaintest of the quaint old
cars is the title claimed for n 20
year old horseless carriage which
for these many years has been
chugging its victorious way through
the sunny hills of New York state
on responsible business errands.
You may see the ancient vehicle
this summer. a Cadillac, with its
buggy top, its air cushion springs,
and its rear deck for commercial
purposes, sturdily climbing higher
and higher into the Catskills, the
Alleghaniess the Adirondaeks or
the White Mountains, or peacefully
rolling along the Mohawk Valley.
For its owner covers all of this ter
ritory, and his profession calls for
dependable transportation.

the proud owner. He finds the an
tique, piled high with Punch and
Judy figures, spirit cabinets and
other stage paraphernalia of leger-
demain, a genuine asset, in that ii
heralds his arrival in town as clear
ly as do the animal wagons for a
circus.
The Cadillac organization has q
number of Model A Cadillac ears,
one at the factory, and others be-
ing used for exhibition purposes by
distributors. One of these 20-year-
old huskies last year made the .s3
mile run in excellent time from De
troit to New York, carrying a mes
sage from the mayor of Detroit
to the mayor of the large tnetropo
lis, and commemorating the TWEEN

H. Lewis. Hudson-Essex dealer
here, for the tremendous busines,
which Hudson and Essex have had
all over the country this year.
'The motor ear is the one pro-
duet;s standing almost alone, at Il
price which compares favorabiy
with the prewar period, y said Mr..

Lewis. "This has been accomplish
ed by increased production and
scientific curtailment of expenses.
The proportion of open ears is fall
ing off considerably, the Judgment
of our manufacturers being that
through the elimination of many
luxurious features heretofore con-
sidered necessary they could furnish
.he enclosed car at open ear prices,
and coach production is being in
creased monthly.
"Prior to the coach, closed ears
on high-grade chassis were too
costly for most buyers and mod
crate priced closed ear meant low
priced chassis. In our coach the
buyer does not forfeit performance,
reliability and mechanical excel
lence, but he obtains them at alnost

IDAHO ALL SET TO
Win CHAMPIONSHIP

The crucial basketball game of the
season comes tonight and every per-
son who holds a reserved seat is
fortunate in that a record breaking
crowd is expected at the Idaho-Ore-
gon Agricultural college basketball
game. The game is virtually for the
basketball championship of the north
ern division of the Pacific coast con-
ference in that one of the two teams
will be eliminated from the race to-
night
At the present time Idaho, the
University of Washington, and the
Oregon Aggies are tied for first place
in the conference standing. With
Idaho winning tonight the Vandals
will jump into first place with a rec
ord of five games won and three lost.
The Aggies will jump into the lead
with five games won and three lost
if they win tonight.
Tie Strong Possibility
Washington in order to tie for the
conference championship must win
for the University of Oregon at
Seattle Saturday.
The prospects are bright for Ida
hos repeating this season as coast
conference champion. The Vandals
are out to win tonight's game and
there is every reason to believe that
the new foresters logging signal
whistle and the fog-horns will pro-
claim an Idaho victory tonight Ida
hon won from o. A. G. on the Cor
wallis floor and the Vandals are de-
termined to win again this season
from the Aggies.
In the event that Idaho and Wash
ington win their games, two of three
game series will determine the cham
pion. Another plan to select the
champion is the selection of the team
by the coaches of the five Pacific
coast conference teams.
Coach David Macmillan, the wizard
basketball mentor of the University
of Idaho, will probably use Captain
AL Fox and Harry Edwards at for
wards, "Oz' Thompson at center,
Benny Keane and "Telly' Telford
as guards. Thompson has hard
man to work against in Hjelte, the
crack o. A. G. center, who last sea-
son was picked as the All-Coast cen
ter. Hjelte will probably be the
high point man on the Aggie team to-
night.
The game will begin promptly at
7:3O and no reserved seats will be
held after that time. The Idaho Pep
band will play before the game ard

MANY SEEK LODGING In
THE CITY BASTILE

According to Chief of Police S. r.
Silvey, the city jail is being used
principally for hotel purposes the
past month or two, more than the
usual number of break-beam tourists
visiting the city, most of them with
out any means with which to pro-
cure place to sleep. They apply to
Chief Silvey or Policeman Stanley
for lodging and are allowed the use
of the city hall, which is equipped
with cots and with a range for heat
ing and cooking
The men, for the most part, seem
willing to work, Mr.. Silvey states,
but at this season of the year are un-
able to procure work and so keep
travelling from place to place. One
man about 60 years of age arrived in
town a few nights ago, with his cook
ing outfit and a meager supply of
food in a gunnysack, having walked
from California. He applied for lodg-
ing and was allowed the use of the
Jail. He was bound for Montana in
search of work, and went on his way
the next morning. Most of the men
are younger Some of them are on
the road because of preference and
others because of reports that con-
ditions are better in some particular

REMAIN ALWAYS THE SAME
Overwhelming Proof That Finger
Prints Undergo No Change Dur
Ino Lifetime Of Individual.

The hnger-print Is a scientific method
of Identification. A movement Is afOOt
In Michigan for a statewide registra-
ton system under which every one
would be fnger-printed. 1t Is also
planned by the government to establish
a central bureau of identification with
q national registration. 1t is deduced
that prints are more permanent than
the body itself, as Psychologists tell us
that the tissues Of the entire body
change once in about seven years, but
the whorls, curves and lines Of the
papilla always are renewed in con-
formity with the lines of childhood.
After an attack Of scarlet fever the
cuticle peeled of OF a child's fingers.
As an experiment prints were made.
They were found to be just the same
~ those made before the sickness. A
man CHANGED to burn his fingers. They
were badly blistered. After the blisters
broke and the outer layer Of the skin
came of he made f1ngsr-prints each
day until the fingers were completely
healed. The ridges grew gradually
until they made the same sharp prints
that they had made before the acci-
dent.
