ABig Difference In Lumber Certain woods are well suited to interior use and are wholly unsuited to ex posure to the weather. Other woods are dur able under exposure to weather and will not prove satisfactory when used in places where strength is a prime factor.

P. t'hase. of the King Motor Car Company, has added another Lookout Mountain on high gear record to his string. This time Engineer Chase piloted an eight-cyl . imler King over Lookout Mountain, [California. He already holds a record for taking a Kins over Lookout Moun ! tin in Colorado on the high gear. His friends look for him doing the same thing on Lookout Mountain Tennessee before long. The King's chief engineer went to California to rest after the long, hard, gruelling trips he made with the seven . passenger, eight-cylinder King when it was in its experimental stage. King distributors in California asked Mr. i Chase to see things that are called hard for an automobile to do in their territory. He was taken over the mountains to the Mexican border, out of Los Angeles east over the Arrow head range, and then out on the desert in Eastern California. He was whizzed a' a high rate of speed over Califor nia's boulevards, shown what the west ern motorists demands of his car on the hills in Los Angeles and San Fran i cisco. In T.os Angeles they have a hill I known as Grand avenue. Motorists get a good, fpst start, exceeding the speed lin.it. to make this grade. As a result I the police have become active. Mr. Chase was able to pilot a King up this liil' on the high gear within the speed limit and to bring the car half way up I the hill, stop it and then start off on ! high gear and complete the climb. Care in Driving Reduced Upkeep Cost of Motor Car The largest part of the upkeep of an automobile can be held down by saving tires through proper driving and adjustments, according to George F. Heising, chief engineer of the Mf.on Motor Car Company. With careful driving the average 1 cost of tires In a year is 36 per cent. lof the total upkeep, according to Heising. He figures that means one set of tires In a year and a mileage of 6,000 miles. Careless driving will double the tire expense or increase the total annual expense front $423 to S3BO per year, an increase of 36 per cent, or a total tire expense of 54 per cent. Here are points to remember in keeping down tire expense, according to Heising; avoid quick starts and stops, don't take corners on two wheels, avoid rocks, keep holes in casings plugged up. keep your brakes so adjusted that th«>y will not lock i the wheels completely.

Buick Manager Opposed to Deferred Payment Plan Unqualified endorsement of the de nunciation hurled by R. H. Collins, general sales manager of the Buick Motor Company, against a general ex tension of the deferred payment plan o' selling automobiles is voiced by Jay A'. Hall, general sales manager of the Olds Motor Works, of this city. "No man should buy an automobile until he can afford it," says Hall. "Any other course is sure to end in disaster, not only for the individual, hut for the industry as well. j "To date the growth of the auto ! mobile business lias been absolutely sound, at the expense of no other In dustry, and of positively benefit to all. A wide application of the deferred . payment plan would change this com pletely by causing many men to as sume obligations tliey have no busi- ■ ness to carry. "In a majority of instances the ] dealer would be the man to suffer. A ; period of financial stringency among, his trade, and he would have a quan tity of half-sold cars on his hands of second-hand value, little cash, and no credit at the bank to tide him over. "In the seventeen years of its exist ence the Olds Motor Works has dis posed of millions and millions of dol lars' worth of automobiles without re setting to deferred payment methods in marketing its product. It is a shame that the good name of Oldsmoblle should be linked with such a propo- j sition at this time. The idea will cer tainly fail of endorsement by anyone I connected with this organization."
