Motor Tune-Up
PAYS Dividends

Perhaps no single operation on
motor car pays such high divi-
dends as the motor tune-up." said
Ed Munson, president of the Mum
son Motor company, Tacoma's ex-
elusive Oldsmobile dealer.
The motor car dealer believes
this to be true because when an
engine is in need of tuning, its
operation is most unsatisfactory
and when 1t has been tuned TO per-
lection. the contrast is striking, TO
say the least.
Faulty ignition. bad spark plugs,
sticky valves and improper timing,
not to mention distributor trouble
and incorrect mixture, can make
an otherwise good car drive one to
distraction. In fact, any one of
those shortcomings can do much to
spoil all the fun of driving. and the
combination of two or more, Just
make matters that much worse.
Usually when an engine devel-
ops one Of these defects. it is but
a short time until the others fall
into line and something has to be
done.
The motor tune-up department
at the Munson Motor company has
developed into one of the busiest
and most important in the COM
PAW.

clearance sale is in full blast and
c. A. Mitchell, local manager of

OF the most successful sales in the

The event amounts to a house
cleaning during which time motor
lists may affect unusual savings
on purchases Of tires. batteries,
brake repairs, radios and almost
numberless items intended for use
on the modern automobile.
Each year at this time the vet
eran company reduces its stocks
TO make way for the fall and win
ter business and the reductions
necessary TO a quick moving OF the
merchandise mean many dollars
saved by motorists who take ad-
vantage of the drastic reductions.

Buick's Sales
Holding Firm
Local Distributor
Setting Records

Record summer sales Of Buick
cars were revealed today by W. c.
Baldwin, sales manager Of Muel-
ler-Harkins. Buick distributors for
Tacoma and Southwest Washing
ton. Retail deliveries Of Buick in
the country as a whole substan-
TALLY exceeded those Of the cor
responding June period and were
more than double the volume Of
this time last year.
AS a matter OF fact, this was
the largest July 10 period on
Bucks records. according to a
report from the factory Baldwin
said. "A gain Of 113 per cent was
registered over last July and an
increase of 10 per cent was chalk
ed up over the first 10 days Of
June of this year"
The record-breaking pace main
tanned by Buick for the past IL
months is due To two factors,
Baldwin believes. First, there has
been a general up-turn of busi-
ness. Second, and most impor-
tant, there has been a real public
acceptance Of the 1910 Buick
models.
Tacoma's sales average has been
climbing steadily since the 1910
models arrived. Baldwin said.
Used car sales were also well up
over last year.

Mountain Wild
Flowers at Peak

LONGMIRE - Weeks earlier
than usual and destined for a rela-
tilvely short showing, wild flowers
in alpine meadows within Mount
Rainier National park now are at
their height of display.
The brilliant flowers-reds, yell
lows, blues and purples-now add
great splotches of color to the
green meadows. However, due to
the absence of moisture this sum-
mer, the peak of the coloration will
continue only for about ten days.
After that time, many flowers will
remain in bloom but brightness OF
the carpeting will wane.
The displays viewed by most
visitors are at and near the high
public centers of Paradise valley
and Yakima park (Sunrise) on OPP
posite sides of Mount Rainier.
Many of the flowers may be seen
from roads, and blossoms are even
more abundant in fields reached
by short walks over trails from
these centers. Park Rangers and
Ranger Naturahsts are anxious to
direct visitors TO the best wild
flower displays.
For those who take day hikes,
overnight trips or extended tricks
along park trails, the wild flowers
add materially TO enjoyment of the
outings. There are innumerable
alpine meadows along Wonderland
Trail looping Mount Rainier and
beside spur trails from various
park centers.
Such alpine parks as Van Trump,
klapatche and Indian Henrys
Hunting Ground offer rewards Ia
those who hike the two to five mile
/ trails TO the areas. There are over
night shelters throughout the park
for those who wish to spend g
night beside the trail.
Blue lupine predominates at the
present time with flaming Indiar
paint brush adding red and orange
colors to the showing. Purple
mountain daisies are at their best
and red. yellow and white heather
all bloom in alpine meadows. Noun
tain dock. with its punches of tin,
flowers. fills in the picture with
white blossoms. Speckled tigei
lilies and other lilies contribute e
the setting. and the light green
cotton-like punches of western
snemone seed attract interest oi
park visitors.

Northern Pacific railway crews

work can be finished in short

Old guard gates have been dis

BY DIR. GEORGE GALLUP
Director. American Institute of
Public Opinion

Public Opinion
PRINCETON, y. "a consti-
tutional amendment to prohibit
third terms, endorsed by the Re-
publican convention but booed
down in the Democratic convention,
finds mixed reception among the
voters of the nation. In a poll just
completed by the Institute, the Re-
publican rank and file are strongly
in favor of an anti third term
amendment, while the Democrats
are even more strongly against it.
The Democratic opposition is suf-
ficiently great to tip the scales, so
that the total vote for the nation
is against the amendment by ap-
proXimately six to four.
The study is the latest of three
surveys made up on the issue in
recent years. The trend of senti-
ment favorable to the anti-third-
term amendment has been prog
ressively downward as the 1910
campaign approached

Among Republicans. the vote is
SO per cent in favor of the amend
ment, 81 per cent opposed, while
among Democrats it is IA per cent
for the amendment, Sc per cent
opposed. 1t is clear that the COP
platform plank calling for the
amendment faithfully reflects the
sentiment of the Republican rank
and file. while the rejection of the
amendment at the Democratic con-
vention likewise reflects the senti-
ments of that party's voters.
Some commentators were criti-
cal of the Democratic convention
last week on the ground that the
Roosevelt nomination was forced
rather than spontaneous. They
point to the nomination of Wilkie
by the Republicans as a clear ex-
preston of the wishes of COPS
voters, with the implication that
the Roosevelt stampede at Chi.
cago was staged or synthetic.
Actually, the facts show that
both Roosevelt and Willkie
were the outstanding choices
of the rank and file in their
respective parties. In the
Democratic case. particularly,
