DURANT CAR HIT AT S. F. AUTO SHOW The Pacific Auto Show in San Francisco was a success, from the standpoint of both the dealer and the public, according to James E. Appleby, local Durant dealer. In discussing the show last night, Appleby said, "I wanted to get the unbiased opinion of the public in regard to the Durant, so I interviewed several strangers as they came out of the show. Every one of them mentioned the Durant when I asked them about the new cars in the show—there was quite a bit of variation in the other new makes which were mentioned. Every person I interviewed had seen our exhibit, and looked over the different models, and the cut open chassis. Most of them could tell me some of the mechanical features of the car, such as the tubular backbone, the separation and accessibility of the mechanical units, and the freedom from vibrations. Several mentioned the Ansted motor in the Six, and a few of them gave me a very satisfactory explanation of the shifting fulcrum of the rocker arm. They all knew about the record this motor made in taking first and second places in the Pike's Peak run, against larger and more expensive engines. "The new models seem to have impressed people very favorably. Both the roadster and the touring car in the six are there, and they are beautiful jobs—low hung and racy, but very comfortable. The three new bodies on the four cylinder chassis are beautiful, too. They include the roadster, coupe and sedan. I will not try to get away with the old bunk about the Durant being the sensation of the show—for the simple reason that the show was about as lacking in sensation as anything on earth. "But our exhibit attracted more than the average attention, and people know a surprising lot about the Durant car and the organization behind it. The acid test, of course, may be sumed up in a very few words: 'Do they buy?' I have the statement of the San Francisco dealer that they actually sold 34 cars for cash during the show week. He has taken more orders for every model during the show than he had hoped for." EIGHT REASONS WHY SWIMMING These eight coming champs are a good reason Angeles Athletic Club should be a success.

CHEVROLET SALES SHOWING NO LETUP The local office of the Taggert Motor Company is merely a temporary stopping place for new cars. Cars come in one day—if at all—and go out the next. Five touring cars were sold last week, another carload came down from Oakland last week and a second arrived this week. Purchase of the touring car shows that the hard headed buyers are flocking to the Taggart garage. But the other models also are selling well, including the sedan. Just a few words about this closed car. It is within the reach of almost anybody's purse, and in design, construction and refinements it compares well with cars costing 50 per cent more.

Just a few words about this closed car. It is within the reach of almost anybody's purse, and in design, construction and refinements it compares well with cars costing 50 per cent more. The greatest economy of wear, fuel and tires is possible with this car, partly because the body is strongly built and finely balanced. The car is comfortable, too. The four doors are wide enough to permit easy entrance and exit. The appearance is attractive without being loud, and who wants a sedan which doesn't look well besides running well? The color is black above and Brewster green on cowl and lower body panels. Tires are non-skid, straight-side, 30 by 31-2's. A ten-gal tank contains the fuel, and there is a Stewart vacuum system. The front seat is not divided. The rear seat can be removed easily, affording access to the rear panel. French plait velour striped is the material with which the interior is finished. Buyers will be lucky to get one, unless they put in their orders considerably ahead. STEFANSSON GIVEN PRIZE WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.—Stefansson, Arctic explorer, has been awarded the Squires prize by the National Geographic Society for his book "The Friendly Arctic," judged the leading geographic publication of 1921. The book is based upon five years' exploration and is significant, because it shows that Arctic Canada can be added to the world's food supply areas. SPLIT OVER SALES TAX WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.—The House Ways and Means committee has been disrupted by an attempt on the part of opponents of the sales tax method of raising the bonus to have the method changed, and the whole question of the bonus and its financing has been referred back to President Harding.

YORBA LINDA MOTHER PASSES LAST NIGHT Mrs. Musetta Bohannon, wife of Tom Bohannon, of Yorba Linda, died last evening at 6 o'clock, after a lingering illness with Brights disease. She was aged about 50 years. Funeral arrangements are not completed, but it is planned to hold services in Los Angeles Monday. Surviving her are six children and the husband. Two of the children CAR PER DAY IS SOLD BY GOODRUM Nothing succeeds like success. This thread-bare adage is being proved true again and again this year with the Buick, the record sales of which last year have enabled the Anaheim Auto Company to launch business this year in the direction of an even better showing. Two sedans, one coupe and two five-passenger cars were sold in five days this week, an average excelled by no make of car except the Ford and Fordson. Another factor in the success of the Buick, in spite of a period which is still somewhat dull, is the minimum percentage of comebacks, says Bill Goodrum. It is a common thing, the proprietor of the local agency says, for new purchasers never to take advantage of the three months' free service guarantee. When they do, it is because of an accident of some sort, or neglect, rather than because of any defect discovered, a very rare thing. Accidents themselves are cut to the limit, largely because of the velvet disc clutch, on which the makers have an exclusive patent. This feature device enables even an inexperienced driver to keep control over his or her machine such as is possible with no other similar contrivance. Then there is the Delco ignition, the mileage and low motor oil records of the car. Twenty miles per gallon of gasoline is the average, not the extraordinary figure for the Buick, and 600 miles per quart of oil is the rule. Bill and his men will show you what the car will do—not merely talk about it. L. A. DOES MUCH BUILDING LOS ANGELES.

MOST "JAILED" MAN IN THE COUNTRY Ned Hogan, 76 years old and a real "native son" of Milwaukee, holds the unique distinction of being the most "arrested" man in that city and possibly the entire country.

LOS ANGELES LOS ANGELES, Feb. 25.—George W. Goethals, builder of the Panama Canal, is stopping here for two weeks.

THE LORD GAVE HIM FAVOR Stephen Girard, the infidel millionaire, of Philadelphia, on one Saturday bade his clerks come the following day and unload a vessel which had just arrived. One of the clerks refused to comply with the demand. "Well, sir," said Mr. Girard, "if you cannot do as I wish, we can separate." "I knew that, sir," said the proprietor, "go to the cashier's desk and he will settle with you."

"Very well, sir," said the proprietor, "go to the cashier's desk and he will settle with you." For three weeks the young man tramped the streets of Philadelphia looking for work. One day a bank president asked Mr. Girard to name a suitable person for cashier for a new bank about to be started. After reflection Mr. Girard named this young man. "But I thought you had discharged him?" "I did," was the answer, "because he would not work on Sunday, and the man who will lose his situation from principle is the man to whom you can intrust your money."—Ex.

Although the President dresses well, he is thrifty and does not cast aside a pair of shoes merely because the soles are worn. He sends his shoes to Spady at Emporia and Spady says he puts soles and heels on the Harding shoes that outlast the uppers.
