The tourist coming from the Kast te ® large extent follows the same route, “We cannot help but believe that the wonderful advertising the Co lumbia highway has had ts respon sible for this. “About the first camp park to | be established in the Northwest was the one opened in this city some years back, Since that time nearty very town, large and small, in the ‘orthwest has followed suit. We fing that where good camp parks are maintained travel is heavy. “Walla Walla has reerived a great amount of good publicity on ao count of the camp park and Port land is likewise reaping the same | benefit, altho they did not get their's ander way until last year. To eum it all up, we believe that good, thru routes are the first necessary point, and then publicity second. stereo thru our section of) | the country has doubled over tast| "The reports that motorists peas on to other tourists seem to have more to do with the they follow than any other one factor. “We bave no particular plan to advance, but we have been talking for a year past now upon the ad visibility of a state orguniztion to / [handle this tourist traffic instead of having it handled in a halt efficient manner by & large number | $100 CASH MONTHLY of different organimtions. “All of these organizations must maintain an overhead expense which uses up & good portion of their | revenue and their work must over lap. If all the automobile clubs could be consolidated into one large organization, and work as they do in Southerg California, a wonderful good could be accomplished. It would also help to kill the petty jealousies that are now arising be tween the different towns on dif ferent routes, “There is only one way to get | the travel into the state and that is to quit talking any one section, and talk Washington. With a large organization such as we have in mind, it would be pomible to open branch offices Guring the tourist seavonl at the different sources Where traffic originates or paages, that would greatly assist tn divert ing it our way. “For instance, we belleve that we should have a branch office in Call- fornia and Salt Lake City and, porsibly, in Yellowstone park, main- tained during the sumnier months to give out literature and inform the people of what there is to be | seen in our state. By going to the points where traffic turns off, we should be able to secure a goog share of it. We do not believe 4 any one organization is as yet suf- ficiently strong financially to under. take such @ campaign.” BATTERY BOTHER DUE TO NEGLECT Should Watch 1 Testing and Filling, Say Experts Moet oases of battery trouble, enay service men, are due to neglect in testing and filimg. Testing the etorage Dattery every two weeks with a hydrometer keeps the car owner in constant touch ‘with the condition of this part of the car, Keeping the battery filled with pure distilled water avoids the probability of destroying the battery plates by overheating, ‘There in no-need of worrying about the acid in the battery. That ts constant, being either in the fluid or in the plates. It is the amount ff whter in the case that should be atched. It should always cover | the: plates, or only the submerged parte of the plates will be active. Which means more current goiig into lesm plate surface and lew cur rent going out When the battery ts hot, it is ‘either unfilled or it is overcharged. If it is found to be full, the ramed jin to turn on the lights so that this extra load might be taken off thq battery. The hydrometer, which | registers the specific gravity of each cell, should show 1,285 ar higher, To relieve the battery of as much work as possible in starting, the spark should be retarded and the starter button should get only a single short pressure. If the engine fails to start, the button may be pressed again A clean and dry battery also means a long-lived battery. Every time it ie filled it should be wiped clean of moisture and dust. | LEAK CAUSES Two causes of compression leAks | that may be detected by short xwishing sounds come through cracks in or around the spark plug and re lef cocks. ‘These may be tightened by the use of copper-asbestos wash ers, the copper being soft enough to be forced into the rough places, AN you have to do to win these prizes advertisers on these two pages give you Or more as follows: | VALVE TOOL | !
