AUTO CLUB NEWS Speed Warning Issued By Club Motorists of this section are getting so careless in speeding through various towns that a general request for greater care has been issued through the Auto Club of So. Calif. A general tightening up of speed regulations throughout the state is threatened by municipal authorities unless autoists exercise greater care when touring, according to club officials. Certain leniency is practiced by the majority of smaller municipalities in allowing a greater speed to motorists than that provided by the state motor vehicle act, which regulates all questions of speed, but this leniency is to be revoked unless the motorists themselves learn to mind their step. Particular complaints of speeding and reckless driving by visiting motorists, or motorists passing through, have been registered by communities in practically every southern county. TO BREAK SPEED RECORD, PREDICTION LOS ANGELES, Feb. 18.—Five of the world's greatest automobile racing drivers who are now in this city grooming their cars for the coming 250-mile race, scheduled for Feb. 22, have predicted that the world's speedway record will again be shattered on the famous Beverly course. With the speed battle still four days off, the cars are all practically ready for the contest, and at this early date remarkable time has been made in practice, which leads Eddie Hearne, Jimmy Murphy, Joe Thomas, Roscoe Sarles and Art Klein, all to predict a new record. In the past, the drivers have not been out in strenuous work-outs until a few days before the meets; but this coming Los Angeles Speedway Auto club officials request all motorists to check over the list of towns making these complaints, and to abide by the laws of carefulness when touring from county to county. Here are the municipalities which state that undue speed is exercised by motorists, and which also say that much against their will they will be compelled to adhere strictly to the law with no leniency at all unless steps are taken by autoists to curb their recklessness. San Dimas, Pomona, La Verne, Uplands, Ontario, Rialto, Oceanside, LaMesa, Delano, Porterville and Lindsay have been given the greatest cause for complaint. Auto club officers declare that such complaints are justified and call upon auto owners to respect the law at all time—and to appreciate the generous spirit of the towns through which they pass.

With the speed battle still four days off, the cars are all practically ready for the contest, and at this early date remarkable time has been made in practice, which leads Eddie Hearne, Jimmy Murphy, Joe Thomas, Roscoe Sarles and Art Klein, all to predict a new record. In the past, the drivers have not been out in strenuous work-outs until a few days before the meets; but this coming Los Angeles Speedway event, for which Enrico Bordino, the great Italian speed king, is now en-California, has taken out to the course weeks ahead. Manager Young declares he is willing that the mark set in the event will be better than an hour. Three of the old guard will be for the big event. Ralph De Tommy Milton, Jimmy Murdie Hearne, Eddie Miller, Sarles, Joe Thomas and Wilcox are slated to face Starter Fred J. Wagner, to with Paolo, Bordino, Frank Hinot, Harry Hartz and several more whose names have not yet been given out. Manager Young says the names listed in his office are certain to start and that, in fact, these drivers either signed up or telegraphed their entries in on the day the list opened. Regarding the additional half dozen with whom he is negotiating by letter and wire, and those with whom Starter Wagner is visiting in the East, Young is not so certain, but he announced to newspaper men a week ago that he was practically assured of enough bona fide entries to warrant him in saying that there would be elimination speed trials on the days preceding the race in order to out down the list to the sixteen fastest cars and most experienced drivers. "The decision to set the distance for the February 22d race at 250 miles instead of breaking it up into a number of short "sprints" was only made after a careful canvas of fans who witnessed the really wonderful race held on the Speedway last Thanksgiving," said Young when asked the reason for such a decision. Chandler sales at both the New York and Philadelphia shows were the largest in history, company officials declare.
