Trips to
Crescent
Popular
By S. i:. IlitOK V ... Assistant
Manager Automobile Club
of Western Washington.
What •lias proved by tar the
moat popular tour in thin section
ot the country this year Is the trip
to Lake Crescent and the ocean at
Mora about 80 miles beyond.
Staring out from Taeoma via the
Pacific highway to 'Uympla,
via the Olympic highway
Thru ..heiton, Hoodsport, Potlatch
and Qnilcene, the roads are re
jvorted to be In excellent condi
tion.
A short detour between Taeoma
und Olvmpia is a little ; .nigh, and
a section of the road between
Olympia and Shelton is not re
ceiving any maintenance this year
dae to the fact that a new road is
being built along the present one,
Imt in no place is the road so
rougli as to cause the most timid
motorist to hesitate.
v from Hoodsport the highway
follows the shores of Hoods Canal
for 4 0 miles to Kldon -and then
winds Itself up and around Walker
mountain, following the Qnilcene
river buck to the sound at the
town of Qnilcene. This portion
around the mountain is perhaps
the prettiest part of the whole
trip.
Half-Way MM
I.ingerlonger Lodge at Quilcent
_—10! i miles from Taeoma—-pro
vldes an excellent half-way point
for the motorist aud good meals
And accommodations may be had
for the night or for a week, should
one desire to remain there for a
time. Many fishing streams run
Into the canal near Qnilcene and
numerous mountain trails lead
back into the Olympic mountains,
fiirnisiiin-: delightful hikes" for
the city-worn man.
From Qnilcene the road go?"
via ..eland valley to Discovery
bay and, after winding up a long
steep grade, crosses the county
line into Clallam county which
boasts of tlie best dirt .cads in
Washington. And it U no idle
boast, for one need not ft ar road
conditions from her on to Port
Angeles and Lake Crescent.
County ferry service at the lake
Is more limited tills year due to
one of the ferries being operated
exclusively for govmrment 6pruce
trucks. The smaller ferry n_ak?s
four round trips a day and caters
"" Jo the tourist.
Accommodations Good
Hotel nccommoda'ions at the
lake are varied and ail are good.
The I/og Cabin at riedmont, while I
not pretentious, la cozy and satis- 1
lies many. Tho Lake Crescent I
Tavern, reached by the ferry on I
the way to Falrholm, has all tho
luxuries of tho best appointed city I
~ hotels in addition to cottages and i
tents. Here also Is an excellent I
hathing beach, shoootir.g traps, I
tennis courts and fishing In the
take is now at its best.
Mr. anil Mrs. Singer, the pro
•prletors of this establishment,

dial welcome and take personal
delight in satisfying every desire.
* Front l-'airholm to Mora the
toad continues thru the beautiful
Olympic Forest Reserve, and while
a, little rough from much trucking
Is easii. negotiable. One driving
to the lake, however, should in
tjnire regarding this road as it
may be closed to tho tourist at
any time because of ihe govern
ment work.
— i I,
The proper tool to use in cut
ting out rivets that hold together
Ihln metal parts Is a sharp chisel.
The head of the rivet should he
backed up with a weight of some
kind so as to prevent tearing of
the adjacent metal. An oxyacety
leae torch is the quickest method
of cutting off rivet heads.

U. S. Agents Will Give a
Demonstration to Crowds
Fordson Tractor, Which Will Itun ltare With Speedsters at Taeoma Speedway, July 4.
A Fordson tractor will run
a MM with five of I lie List est
aiiiimioi tics in tin- country at
the T.h nnm Speedway -Inly 1.
While Cooper, Pullen, llearne,
Lewis and Durant are tuning up
thoir speedsters for the
Liberty Sweepstakes, agents of
the agricultural department of
the sate of Washiugtou will be
demonstrating the MM of the new
tractor, ttto of which have been
allotte-l to this state for the pur
pose Of increasing agricultural pro
duction.
It will be a Ford racing against
a Mercer, or a IJueseuhcrg, or a
Chevrele'
The 'irst tractor recently arriv
ed in Taeoma, and was put on ex
hibition at the I'niveisat Motor
Co. When the representatives ot
the agricultural department found
they were unable to show all who
wanted to see the operation of the
tractor, they went to the presi
dent of the Speedway association,
W. C. Baldwin, and told hini lt
would ha a patriotic thing to ar
range fur a demonstration at the
Speedway July 4 when the crowds
would bo gathered from all parts
of the wesC. President Baldwin
jumped at the opportunity.
Xo Idle Bays
The Fordson tractor Is the one
advocated by the agricultural de
partment as the feasible tractor
for the work of greater soil pro
duction.
There are to be no idle days
for tlii machine. It is to be placed
at cost, and if the man who buys
it finds that he does not need

THE EXPERTS SAY:
Wheu spark plugs habitually
become fouled with oil and soot,
it is a good plan to investigate
and see whether they may not be
projecting too far into the com
bustion chamber, particularly
when they are located in either
one or the other of the valve
pockets.
If they are screwed into the
valve port caps, the removal of
the caps with the plugs In them
will he Urn best way to determine
the condition.
The points or the outer end of
the tihell should extend very little
beyond the inner faces of the
valve caps. Anyway, adjustment-!
to the carbureter or lubricating
syslem should be made to prevent
excessive gas or oil feed.
o o o
In c.ise^*. where the starter is out
of business and the crank handle
is not available, it Is possible to
start the engine by jacking up the
rear wheels, blocking the front
wheels and then shifting Into high,
after which the cylinders are
primed, the spark and throttle are
set and the engine is cranked by
turning a rear wheel. In doing
tills the operator should take hold
of the tire rather than the spokes
and must be careful not to get
caught when the wheels start to I
revolve.
• as
A rough and ready method of
testing tho alignment of the front
wheels in to jack these wheels up
an equal distance from the ground
and spin them. While they are
revolving draw a line on the cen
ter otf the tires with a piece of
chalk. Measure the distance from
the line on ono tire to the corre
sponding line on the other tire at
the height of the hubs and both
before and behind the front axle.
The approved gather will work
out at about three-eighths of an
inch.

Do not forget that from now on
until the end of the warm weath
er the battery is going to need ex
traordinary attention. The elec
trolyte evaporates much more rap
idly in warm wi.it her and the cells
should be Inspected once a week
and the liquid brought up to the
proper level with distilled water.
a a a
A simple and effective way of
conserving dry cells is to place
them la a snugly fitting box and
fill Uie interstices among them
with dry sand. When the cells
rattle co that momentary short
circuits develop they are quickly
run down.

To the average man, the mak

thing veiled in mystery, only the
most vague ideas beiug permitted
iiiin as to what must be done to
gather from the ends of the world
the happenings of the day and to
give it, well Illustrated, to the
purchaser of the printed page.
Failure has rested up to the
present on the shoulders cf those
who attempted via the moving pic
ture camera to give a comprehen

Excess Current?
In cases where excessive current
consumption develops in connec
tion with vibrator coils the condi
tion will iifiii ni ni > be found to be
due to excessive tension on the vi
brator springs. The spring ad
justment should tie loosened until
misßinig develops in tho motor
and then tightened until the en
gine begins firing regularly again.
When the tension is tightened be
yond this point excessive consump
tion results.

the practice of requiring registra

states other than those where
their owner resides and the levy
ing of taxes as well. The measure
which originated with tho Ameri
can Automobile association, was
referred to the committee on in
terstate and foreign commerce.
Clean Plugs
Many car owners do not realize
the importance of keeping the
spark plugs clean. The pilnts of
the plug seldom need cleaning,
but grease and mineral dirt do
accumulate on the exterior and
interior of the porcelain, so that
tho current passes that way in
stead of jumping the gap, as Is
Intended. The plti-gs should be
kept clean or Ignition troubles
will result.

How tbe sporting department
