GARAGES NOW
HAVE GONE
TECHNOCRATIC
Mechanical Gadget TO Take
the Place of Smudge-Face
Mechanic in Diagnosing Of
Motor Ailments.

Technocrats are shouting about
the wonders of the machine age
and how mechanical gadgets will
soon relieve humans from most Of
their present labors. There is more
or less truth in their statements.
From the Ford factory comes a
machine which will almost reveal
your inmost secrets-at least it
will reveal the Utmost secrets of
motor.
It's a testing machine, all nicely
mounted on casters, covered with
tubes and wires, meters with color
ed dials, plain dials, numerals and
wierd letter combinations. Grab
aplug and the dial will tell If your
radio tube has enough sit" to func-
ton properly or whether it's low
on voltage or whatever il is that
makes 'em go.
Another socket will indicate
whether your motor needs new
rings, new plugs, new this or that
or whether you'd better wait and
buy one of the new models. Still
another will show the spark gap,
compression, detection or what
not. No more will a cmudge-faced
mechanic be able to grab wrench,
tap your motor a time or two and
tell you it has spinal meningitis
and the bill will be a hundred and
six plunks. s.
That stuff is all out now-passe.
The new laboratory test set Ford
insists his dealers have-and which
the e. G. Smith Motor Co. has just
received has taken all the hokum
out of the mechanics business. The
set can't indicate whether the Gus
toner will stand for a complete
overhaul job, but it can-and does
indicate the trouble with the mo-
tor. ..
The local Ford agency has sew
eral other new pieces of equipment
recently installed to keep up with
modern garage requirements.

complish this aim will be presented

P. @. RECEIPTS
SHOW GAIN OF
TEN PER CENT
Gain i'm Local Business is In
Dictated; Department Asks
Patrons to Buy and Mail
Presents Early

Postal receipts are usually a
rather accurate index to COM
munity's business and Postmaster
F. III. Lincoln takes no little pride
in reporting that things are on the
upgrade in KenneWick. He reports
better than a ten percent increase
in receipts at the local office this
fall over a similar period last
year.
AS a matter of fact, he is so OPP
timistic over the prospects for
tremendous boom in the near fu-
ture that he has installed new
safe, several sizes larger than the
one which has been in use here for
years, in order that he might carry
q much larger stock of stamps,
money order blanks, postal saw
ings certificates, etc.
AS is usual at this time of year,
the post office department wishes
to emphasize the desirability OF
mailing Christmas gifts early. A
bulletin from Washington reminds
us that there will be no mail deliv-
cry on Christmas Day. Post offices
will make every effort, the bulle-
tin says, to handle the Christmas
mails without congestion and de-
lay, but owing to the enormous vol
ume this can only be done with the
cooperation of the public.
During the holiday time the vol
ume of mail increases approximate
ly 200 percent. It is physical inn
possibility to handle this great
mass of mail matter efficiently
and promptly within few days.
Therefore to assure delivery Of
their Christmas presents, cards and
letters by Christmas day the pub
lie should shop early and mail out
early.
Do your Christmas shopping so
that you can mail your gifts,
greetings and letters to relatives,
friends and loved ones at least q
week or ten days before Christmas
according to the distance. This
will not only make it certain that
they are received before Christ
mas Day, but will be great aid
to your postal service and to post
al employees and enable them to
spend the Christmas holiday with
their families.

C. OFC. TOBACK
CANNERY WITH
EVERY EFFORT
Importance of Plant to the
District is Stressed; Seek
to Help with Expansion for
Coming Year

Wholehearted cooperation an d
complete unity in backing can
merry for this district will be the
principal objective of the Kenne-
wick chamber of commerce for the
coming year, according to the
board of directors of the organiza-
ton which met Tuesday evening
to discuss the coming years activ-
tiles.
President elect H. C. Schmidt of
the chamber called the meeting of
the new directors to formulate
plans for the years work and the
discussions turned almost unani-
mously to the one principal SUBJ
ject. That the cannery this year,
while not a financial success, has
made an enviable record under the
circumstances, was unanimously
agreed. That the institution was
the one thing which the commun-
ity needed most was also agreed
upon and the club officials will be
pledged to lend every effort to
make complete success Of the
enterprise.
The late start, the death of Mr..
Brownell, the make-shift methods,
lack of tonnage, inexperienced help,
previous outside contracts and the
peculiar weather conditions all re-
acted against the financial success
of the plant this year, it was brot
out in the discussions. The quail
ity of the produce processed in the
local plant, however, has brought
repeat orders from every purchas-
err and already orders for next
year have been received for twice
the tonnage which can possibly be
put up.
Arrangements are now being
made, it is understood, for secur-
ing ample funds for operation next
year and plans are also under way
for an enlargement of both plant
and equipment. That the club
should lend every assistance was
assured by the members Of the
board who considered the operation
of the cannery the biggest single
asset to the district as whole.
