WISE ONES OF AUTO WORLD ATTRACTED "The Saxon-Duplex stripped chassis now on display in the sales room of Arthur S. Kemmon, distributor of Saxon-Duplex for Orange-co, is creating a great stir among the wise one in the automobile world of the city and surrounding territory," says Mr. Kemmon, "and the wiser they are, the better they like it. In other words, the men of most diversified experience become the greatest enthusiasts for duplex construction, and other Saxon features. "While the average man is content to ask the price, and inquire if this car will really make 20 odd miles on a gallon of gasoline, the old timer is impressed with the over head valve construction, the duplex manifold, the duplex real spring suspension, the rugged fram construction and usually finds in some feature of Saxon Duplex an answer to the most troublesome problems he has had in the past. "It is universally conceded, however, that Roman automatic chassis lubricator solves the constantly recurrent problem of proper and adequate chassis lubrication. One cannot but admire the masterful way in which this has been taken care of. Possible defects that could not have been discovered except thru most awful trial and experience have been overcome by the application of ingenuity and the system now has nothing to be desired." That Saxon-Duplex is in a fair way to become one of the most popular cars ever put on the market, is evident from the large crowds of prospects and buyers that swarm the show rooms in Los Angeles and other large centers of population where he has been on display for any length of time. The chassis will remain on display two or three days longer. DEATH VALLEY SAFE FOR AUTOISTS Death Valley and its surrounding desert is at last made safe for travelers! Auto club crews which have been engaged in the heavy task of erecting metal guide posts in the almost trackless wastes of the valley have returned home with the news that the work is done. Motorists need no longer fear the threats uttered by the valley to swallow them up if they are lost to hide water from them if they are thirsty. All water holes and wells have been so marked that they can be found in day or night without any trouble. More than a year’s time has been consumed in charting, making the signs and erecting them in order that the Colorado desert might lose its terrors for travelers. G. & L. Lease G. AND L.

The total weight in the Sheridan on the difficult hill climbing demonstration was more than 1100 pounds. The car was absolutely stock in every detail, the gear radio was not changed and all parts were standard, even Standard gasoline was used, and according to the observers who witnessed the demonstration, Magrath did not slip his clutch or baby the car in any way. The only other car to ever reach the summit of the Skyline trail in high gear, carried but two passengers and made the start from a cleared road part way up the steeper incline. This eliminated some of the steepest part of the grade. Magrath, accompanied by B. E. Retterals A. A. Camall, E. C. Metager, E. A. Barcus, L. G. Ling and A. G. Johnson, started the Barcus in high gear from Moran's ave. and rounded the first loop of the trunk hairpin turn which is the most difficult part of the climb, at nine miles per hour. From this point on to the summit, the Sheridan gained speed and reached the top of Skyline at almost 20 miles per hour. The Quality Motor Co., of Fullerton are the local distributors. GAMBLING BARRED FROM U. S. PARKS Crap-shooting, "stud" and other chancy games are to be barred absolutely from Uncle Sam's public playgrounds in California this summer. Gambling of all kinds, even to nickle-matching is to taboo in Yosemite and other national parks. Never again will the lonesome white chip call its mate in the shadow of the stately redwoods. Never again will the beetling brow snatch their efficiency. With rapidity they is equalled only by accuracy; the servers flash by wireless their firings to U. S. forest service headquarters and the message is in turn sent to ground forces who immediately rush to combat the flames. Messages received from the air turned over to U. S. forest service rangers, if the fire is within a mile of the scene. Wrong Charging Will Ruin Your Batteries "Many a good storage battery has been literally boiled to death by garage men having little respect for the rules of charging," declares representatives of the Automotive Electric Co., USL Service Station representative for this district, who discussed batteries with a representative of this paper yesterday. "Conditions are gradually bettering themselves, however," he continued, "and garage men are waking up to the fact that a battery should not be charged in series with batteries several times larger. The service station, having come by more experience, sticks by the set rule of the game and seldom, if ever, is guilty of battery boiling." "Excessive charging or violent discharging of a battery kept up for a considerable period of time will overheat it and if continued will manifest itself in injured plates. Machine pasted plates, the latest in battery construction, will stand this strain longer than the hand-pasted brand, but must succumb to such drips in time quite like the motor oil cuts his habilits." "Abnormal charging or discharging battery also will cause unnecessary buckling of its plates if persisted in. One way of causing excessive discharging is for one to run his automobile on the electric starter instead of the engine. On the other hand, with reference to overcharging, there is no excuse for cramming one's battery with a 30-ampere charge when its proper rate is but 12 amperes." "Buckled plates are saucer-shaped, so that the old-fashioned sharp-cornered, hand-pasted plates were injurious to the separators. The modern machine-pasted plate has obviated this, being round cornered." TIRES MAKE GOOD ON YOSEMITE TRIP One of the most thorough tests put on autos and tires is the annual Yosemite valley economy test. "The Adornment of Woman which will include 700 photoplay and film stars in its cast. Six rooftops are taking form in the inside where six rodeo tournaments are staged by Douglas Fairbairn Hoot Gibson, Tom Mix, "Bill" Hust Dustin Farnum, "Tony" Moreno, H. Stewart and Buck Jones. Around arenas is being built a half-mile tractor race.

PARKS Crap-shooting, "stud" and other chance games are to be barred absolutely from Uncle Sam's public playgrounds in California this summer. Gambling of all kinds, even to nickle-matching is to taboo in Yosemite and other national parks. Never again will the lonesome white chip call to its mate in the shadow of the stately redwoods. Never again will the beetling brow of El Capitan wrinkle at the cries of a father seeking shoes for his baby, for the bones shall not rattle in either Sequoia, General Grant or Yosemite domains. The only rattling that will be done there will be the thunderclaps around the mountain peaks. Sad news is also transmitted by the Auto Club to owners of pet animals and pet cats, in particular. No animal pet shall be a visitor to any of Uncle Sam's garden spots. Tabby, however, can now pass through the national parks if in a cage, but no pet cat may remain overnight in the park. People who live in Yosemite or other national playgrounds may own cats for catching rats, however, if they get a permit from Uncle Sam. Other things prohibited in Yosemite this summer, for instance, are trucks of more than three tons in weight, except on the El Portal road or on the floor of the valley.

TIRES MAKE GOOD ON YOSEMITE TRIP One of the most thorough tests put on autos and tires is the annual Yosemite valley economy run from Los Angeles to Camp Curry. And this is the one that Gardener and Saxon cars rolling on Goodyear cord tires have just come through triumphantly, winning first place in their respective classes. The Yosemite run is distinctly an economy run, results being based on gasoline consumption per ton mile, with the competing cars classified according to their prices. Twenty-one cars participated in the 1921 contest. The caravan started out on the third day of a heavy rain, and the cars had not progressed far till it became apparent that the tour would be an endurance contest as well as economy run. Several detours around points where road repairs were being made gave the crusaders chance to demonstrate their driving skill as the cars struggled valiantly with the elements. The battles with mud, ruts and snow were practically continuous. Road conditions could hardly have been worse. As mud and slush annihilators the cars that got through to Camp Curry with the most economical ton mileage record in their respective classes, showed themselves entitled to a place in the hall of fame. Gardener finished the 387 mile run with an average of 23 1-2 miles per gallon of gasoline and an average of 42.11 ton miles per gallon. Saxoh covered the same distance on 15.8 gallons of gasoline, averaging 25.5 miles and 47 ton miles per gallon. As a test for tires it would have been difficult to arrange a more exacting tour. The cars were compelled to make their checking controls within specified time limits and therefore could not afford to spend any time changing tires. No temperamental tires could be tolerated. The judgment of the winners of first in their classes in selecting the proper tire equipment is reflected in the performance of the Goodyear cord tires which carried them over the 387 mile jaunt to victory. Although called upon towithstand the most exacting conditions that have ever been encountered during the five years the Los Angeles Motor Car Dealers have been conducting the Yosemite run, the tires fulfilled their part of the ordeal without fault. ANOTHER SOURCE OF HUMOR DISAPPEARS ANOTHER SOURCE OF HUMOR DISAPPEARS A few years ago the temperamental antics of automobile tires furnished a fertile field for the jolts and jibes of newspaper cartoonists and paragraphers. Newspapermen went out of their way to depict the misfortunes of brave persons who trusted to an uncertain motor and a set of capricious tires for an afternoon's pleasure. But the improvements in tires in the last few years have changed all this. Witness the experience of Sam Armstrong, cartoonist and artist on the News Tribune of Tacoma, Wash. Armstrong has been driving his Franklin for four years and has on his car a Goodyear cord tire that has traveled 35,000 miles over all kinds of roads in the Northwest. Instead of depicting himself sitting along a lonesome country road wrestling with a blow-out tire, he is in position now to show this tire rolling once around the earth, with three transcontinental journeys between New York and Los Angeles thrown in for good measure. Transform Speedway for Actors' Benefit LOS ANGELES, May 31—With several hundred carpenters, scenic artists, electricians and workmen laboring day and night complete a city of amusements that are to be amassed in the Actor's Fund Festival on Saturday, June 4, at the Beverly Speedway is speedily being transformed into a park that will amaze tens of thousands of race enthusiasts when they return to the huge saucer track on the festival day.
