CAR DEALERS GLAD STRIKE AVOIDED "The rank and file of those engaged in the auto industry—manufacturers, dealers, as well as those engaged in the allied lines—feel a great load has been taken off their minds by the decision of organized labor to call off the nation-wide railroad strike," states Frank P. Taggart, Chevrolet dealer for No. Orange-co. "The decline in prices in several lines of autos has stimulated sales to a great extent and many dealers have cleared their floors and have many more orders booked than they are able to fill. Under present conditions they are able to obtain cars within a reasonable period of time. A tie-up of transportation facilities would delay delivery until indefinite dates and result in the loss of sales in most instances." However, adds Mr. Taggart, "the Chevrolet dealer in California has a certain advantage by being located near the factory from which cars may be driven under their own power. Of course, the product of the factory would be limited to the supply of raw material that they might have on hand." In summing up the situation in his own organization, Mr. Taggart states: "We are over-sold on '490' models and have been ever since the new prices went into effect. I take this as a matter of fact, however, for in addition to reducing the prices on all models, many improvements have been made in its mechanical construction which includes spiral bevel gears in the rear end, roller bearings in the front axle and emergency brake and a wider, more comfortable front seat. It represents a wonderful car for the money and the fact that we are over-sold demonstrates that there are many others that share this same opinion. The larger 'B' models are much in demand but-up to the present time we have been able to make deliveries without much" COLE AERO-EIGHT REDUCED TO $2485 INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 29—J. J. Cole, president of the Cole Motor Car Co., has announced that the Cole Aero-Eight has been reduced to $2.485. He states that the price of the Cole Aero-Eight new 890 model is now approximately $110 less than the price of the Colo Aero-Eight in 1918, when it was first put on the market. "The price of the new Cole Aero-Eight 890 model," he said, "has been established on a basis of cost replacement on materials now on hand and represents as nearly as can be estimated the lowest cost at which Cole cars can ever sell." It is the firm conviction of the officials of the Cole Company that a general resumption of business is in sight. Plans are now being laid for an active selling and advertising campaign involving strong support of the Cole dealer in his own territory. NON-RECOVERY OF MOTORS INCREASES The following statistics have been given out by the Auto Club of Orange-co regarding the number of cars stolen and recovered in the years 1918, 1919 and 1920. In 1918 1629 cars were stolen in the city of Los Angeles. Of these 1499 were recovered. In 1918, 1688 were stolen and only 1265 recovered; while in 1920, 1654 cars were stolen and only 1152 recovered. In San Francisco, during the year 1918, 1122 were stolen of which number 1082 were recovered. In 1919, 1354 were stolen and 1104 recovered; while in 1920, 1186 were stolen and 1156 recovered. These figures were compiled from official sources by the N. A. D. A. Thruout the U. S. it has become evident as shown by these statistics, that the increased non-recovery in stolen autos, is growing greater every year. In 1918, 21 pct. of the entire number of cars stolen were unrecovered. STUDEBAKER VERY COMFOUND Speaking from expert Clark, of Los Angeles, most satisfactory and way to tour the United States sedan. Starting from the foothill where Clark took new Studebaker sedan left for New York began tour that took them out ble part of the U. S. turned to their California. After several weekends, north states they motor Atlantic coast to Florida state that it afforded scenic views and delights spots but in their esthetic such charm as Californior tourists. On acco rains which washed off bridges, it was necessary sedan to New York be sengers going on the New York the motorized finally as tour was begun, which Angeles. Clark reports all kinds encountered were found in west stretch between Raleigh Vegas in New Mexico est discomfort on roughness of the trail, and slow time section. What was, for many poor piece of road bldg and Flagstaff, in Arkansas ported in excellent co Studebaker sedan over it at 35 miles and upon leaving King Road was taken. The directed to go by way cross the Colorado ridge rather than tour through Topoc and bridge, but a right taken instead of a left was headed for Chicago was found to be a good grades which require power to negotiate. C tried a second time, O ANOTHER MAXWELL ECONOMY RECORD One more notable economy record was chalked up to the credit of the Maxwell last week, according to Turton & Lunsdon, local Maxwell distributors. A Maxwell motor car piloted by Otto Stock of San Diego, was driven from that city to Ensenada, Lower California, and return, a total distance of 189.9 miles, and the gasoline average for the trip over tortuous and well-nigh impossible roads was eighteen miles to the gallon. Only two quarts of water was added on the trip and at the conclusion of the journey the oil gauge still registered full, although none had been put in after the start. The figures of this run were officially checked by newspaper reporters and officials of the Southern California Automobile Club. What made the trip really remarkable, according to Pearson, was the condition of the roads that it was necessary to negotiate on the way through Lower California. The car was obliged to run over rutted and rocky roads, the worst possible of unimproved country highways, and still come through the test with a remarkable record. On the return trip the Maxwell came over the new coast highway, still under construction, and some of the detours, it is stated, were veritable mountainside "goat paths," where second gear had to be used. It is further said that the car used on the trip was practically a new one, having gone only about 300 miles, and was scarcely broken in enough to attain its most economical efficiency. According to officials of the Union Motors, Inc., this type of run goes to prove the power of the Maxwell, together with its economy. It is stated that the average big cars can scarcely get ten miles to the gallon of gasoline on the San Diego-Ensenada run and many of them are unable to make the trip at all. Self-centeredness narrows one's horizon and usually makes one's little world gloomy, whereas a broadening of mind and heart in unselfish interstices is necessary for reducing the prices on all models, many improvements have been made in its mechanical construction which includes spiral bevel gears in the rear end, roller bearings in the front axle and emergency brake and a wider, more comfortable front seat. It represents a wonderful car for the money and the fact that we are over-sold demonstrates that there are many others that share this same opinion. The larger "B" models are much in demand but up to the present time we have been able to make deliveries without much delay. "Yes, we are certainly rejoicing that trains are running on schedule time." La Habra Items LA HABRA, Oct. 29—Responding to the called mass meeting of the taxpayers of this district, the social hall was filled last Monday evening with interested men and women, to discuss the project of lowering Hiatt-st. A resolution was presented by F. W. Bishop to the effect that the work be done in accordance with the previous plans. C. L. Crumrine moved a substitute motion that the grade on Hiatt-st be left as it was. After a heated discussion for against, this motion was lost on a ballot vote. Crumrine then moved that Bishop's resolution be unanimously accepted. This was done, and the balance of the evening was taken up with good roads discussions. A communication from the president of the roads commission referring to northern Orange-co was read and a committee selected to confer with the commission. The present road committee for the street work to be done here was retained. This closed in an amiable manner the incident of Hiatt-st. A delightful surprise was given to Mrs. Anna Hiatt on Thursday evening. The self-invited guests served delicious refreshments after a very pleasant evening spent in games commemorative of the Hallowe'en spirit. The Women's club held their regular Tuesday afternoon meeting at the social hall. Considerable business was transacted and a discussion of current topics enjoyed. Miss Beatrice Proud of the Fullerton union high school read an excellent paper on "Good English Week." A committee was appointed to work in conjunction with the C. of C on a general cleanup day. It was also decided that the ladies would entertain the United C. of C on Nov. 30. Delegates to the southern district federation meeting, to be held in Santa Ana were chosen. These were Mrs. L. J.

Clark, of Los Angeles, says that the most satisfactory and comfortable way to tour the United States is in sedan. Starting from the factory at Detroit, where Clark took delivery of a new Studebaker sedan, he and wife left for New York beginning a motor tour that took them over a considerable part of the U.S. before they returned to their California home. After several weeks spent in eastern states they motored down the Atlantic coast to Florida and toured that state. It afforded many attractive scenes and delightful vacation spots but in their estimation has no such charm as California for the motor tourists. On account of heavier rains which washed out a number of bridges, it was necessary to ship the sedan to New York by boat, the passengers going on the train. From New York the motoring trip was resumed and finally a transcontinental tour was begun, which ended in Los Angeles. Clark reports all kinds of road conditions encountered but the worst were found in western states. A stretch between Ralton Pass and Las Vegas in New Mexico, gave the greatest discomfort on account of the roughness of the road, or rather trail, and slow time was made in that section. What was, for many years, a very poor piece of road between Williams and Flagstaff, in Arizona, is now reported in excellent condition and the Studebaker sedan rolled smoothly over it at 35 miles an hour, or better. Upon leaving Kingman the wrong road was taken. The party had been directed to go by way of Oatman and cross the Colorado river on the ferry rather than tour farther south through Topoc and cross on the bridge, but a right hand turn was taken instead of a left, and the car was headed for Chloride. This road was found to be a succession of steep grades which required maximum power to negotiate. One hill had to be tried a second time, as it was a thirty grade.

ENJOYABLE EVENING One of the most enjoyable parties of the season was the one given by Mr. and Mrs. A. K. King at their home on Brookdale last evening. The rooms were decorated with every thing suggestive of Hallowe'en and the guests were cleverly arrayed in costumes of the season. Dancing and games were the entertaining feature, after which the guests assembled in a Hallowe'en menu, which consisted of a genuine German coffee cake, and all the other good things that go with such a celebration. Those present were host and hostess Mr. and Mrs. A. K. King, Messrs. and Mesdames Durefe and daughter, J. Hayer, Carl Pike, E. Q. Curtis, George Deitrick, Mr. Weber, Miss Bowman, Miss Violet Altnow, Mr. Winton Finch, Mr.Bob.Criswell, Miss Parks of Long Beach, Miss Emelyn Reeder of Huntington Beach, Mr.Elliott Fuller, of Brea, Mr.Robertson, Mr.Howard Smith. DO YOU KNOW That the whole nerve system centers in the brain and the spinal cord, which is merely a continuation of the brain? The spinal cord is a closely bound bundle of nerves beginning at the base of the brain, passing down through the spinal column and branching off at various points on the way to different parts of the body. The nerves are well protected throughout the body except at one point. That is where they branch off from the spinal cord and pass between the little bones which comprise the spinal column. The separate movable spinal bones are very apt to become slightly displaced, thus pinching the spinal nerves so that nerve force cannot flow freely through them. Suppose you should stand upon a rubber hose through which water was flowing. You would compress the hose and the water would not flow. That's about Upon leaving Kingman the wrong road was taken. The party had been directed to go by way of Oatman and cross the Colorado river on the ferry rather than tour farther south through Topoc and cross on the bridge, but a right hand turn was taken instead of a left, and the car was headed for Chloride. This road was found to be a succession of steep grades which required maximum power to negotiate. One hill had to be tried a second time, as it was a thirty per cent grade. On the second attempt the car made it easily. When inquiries were made as to direction after the party got headed the wrong direction, they were advised to turn back and take the main road to Oatman, as nothing but very light cars had been able to make the grades on the Chloride road, but Clark had confidence in the power of his Studebaker after handling it for so many thousand miles, and kept going. He states that when they arrived at Oatman and reported that they had arrived by way of Chloride their story was greeted with amazement by those who were acquainted with the road. The run from Denver to Los Angeles was made in seven and one-half days easy travel and one-third of the road was poor. The balance was good. Near Seligman, Arizona, the same old condition was reported. The hill is still strewn with sharp rocks and ruts washed deep by storms. With speedometer reading 24-900 miles upon arrival home, Clark says that the car shows no signs of deterioration and that he cannot even estimate how long it would require to wear out. He is a strong advocate of touring in a sedan and declares that the idea of a closed car being unfit for long tours or rough roads and mountain grades is founded on lack of experience and ignorance as he has found that no more delightful touring can be enjoyed than when a Studebaker sedan is the vehicle used. Harry D. Riley, Studebaker distributor for the northern part of Orange-co., quite agrees with Clark, and says that such reports as Clark's are coming every week from satisfied Studebaker owners who have accomplished in their tours what they consider remarkable car performances.
