BOB WHITE CO. TO HOLD OPENING An automobile show of its own will be held by the Bob White Company, beginning Monday morning and continuing for five days and evenings. Bob White and his brother will take the occasion to exhibit to the public the new showrooms on W. Center street, occupied a few weeks ago, and give people an opportunity to see a full line of Nash cars, of which the concern has assumed the agency for northern Orange county. The firm already had the agency for the Franklin in the county. The Later Bob hopes to have a similar Franklin show. These Nash's will be displayed: Five-passenger touring, six five-passenger sedan four, coupe, four and six; sport model; and probably seven-passenger sedan. The sedan is the car which has been least in evidence. The big margin of extra value in this Nash Six Sedan shows perhaps to even greater advantage than in any other Nash-built product. This car is the final proof that Nash body designing, Nash finish, Nash appointments and refinements rank side by side with Nash engineering. Hung low on a strong enduring chassis of one hundred and twenty-seven inch wheelbase; yet with ample road clearance and with its wonderful new type springs; it rides as easily on country highways and crowded roads as in service about town. The famous Nash Perfect Valve-in-Head motor is a guarantor of its faithful and continuous performance. Its mohair interior furnishing and upholstery is of the same choice quality used in the most expensive cars. And the bright nickel instruments mounted in neat, convenient arrangement on the dash, indicate the quality built into every detail of this great car. The wide, roony seats, the broad doors, the unusually comfortable auxiliary seats, all point to the fact that passenger luxury has been the first and final consideration. Additional equipment consists of a large dome light, a heavy silk robe cord, perfect fitting silk shades and parking lights on the cowl. STARR MOTOR CO. BEING ORGANIZED The organization of the Starr Motor Company of California, Which will market the Starr automobile, W. C. Durant's $348 car, is going ahead with the characteristic Durant swiftness, R. C. Durant, president of the Durant Motor Company of California, is forming the new company. He has not announced the personnel of the firm, but it is understood that some of the leading automobile men of the Pacific Coast will be associated with him. The Starr is to be manufactured in all of the Durant plants, under contract with the Durant Motor Company, Inc. The details of the sale and distribution have not yet been announced, but there is a strong probability that Durant dealers who make a proper showing with the present lines will be given preference in awarding the franchise. R. C. Durant has instructed the engineering department of the California factory to install the necessary machinery, and make preparations to start quantity production immediately after the plant, which is now in course of construction at Oakland, is completed. Anaheimer Second In Changing Contest Anaheim was heavily represented Wednesday night at the show in the Temple theatre, Santa Ana, given by the Orange County Automobile Trade Association to raise funds. Large attendance marked both of the evening's performances. Charles Hinton of Anderson & Hinton, was the victor with Victor tires in the tire-changing contest, with time of four minutes and 40 seconds. Ned Lindsay of Nenno & Bock, got second place six seconds behind Hinton, with Hartford tires. Max Gowdy, of the El Camino service station, was third, with four minutes and 49 seconds, using Convoy tires; and C. R. Barks, of Knox & Stout, fourth, with Miller tires. The features of the vaudeville show were accordian playing by Dan Cervo, sketch by Oscar Briggs and Jane Raleigh, comic act by Tommy Laktose and Eddie Young; electric scenes by Deland and Lane and "The average motor bike operator of towns interested in stories done more or less moment, J.

Chas. H. Mann 210 S. LOS ANGELES ST. ANAHEIM TO COLUMBUS, O., WITHIN 10 DAYS The average motorist and automobile operator of today is very much interested in stories of performance done more or less on the spur of the moment, J. E. Walters Company, agents for the Chandler and Cleveland, point out. Last December, F. H. Robey, of Ventura, California, left for the East via the old Santa Fe Trail on a business trip to Columbus, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Topeka and other eastern cities. The journey was made in a 1920 Chandler Dispatch which had been driven 20,000 miles prior to the trip. The tour covered nearly 7600 miles and was made in the dead of winter. Before starting, Robey made no preparation for his trip other than the installation of four new cord tires. It may well be imagined that the car was put through some very severe road conditions as a result of snow and mud. The fact that the Chandler was driven from Ventura to Columbus in ten days in the first leg of the journey shows that it was given plenty of hard work and was not "banned" in any way. However, the most remarkable feature of Robey's trip lies in the fact that he was able to maintain under all conditions an average of 15 miles per gallon of gas for the entire distance, and he did not spend a single cent for repairs of any kind while on the tour. AGED “BUDDY” IS HELPED BY FRIENDS BOISE, D'ARC., Mo., March 18.—A Confederate veteran of the Civil War, member of the First Company, Richmond howitzers; 82 years old, and in need, seeking two comrades." The above item in Richmond, Va., newspapers, brought letters and affidavits from two "buddies" of D. W. Bean, Bois D'Arc Civil War veteran, who has been seeking the necessary information to obtain a pension from the state under the Missouri Confederate soldiers' pension law. When the veterans applied to the state adjutant for a pension he was NU-WAY TIRE CO. GIVES AWAY TUBES The Nu-Way Tire Company today were authorized to give away a hydro-toron tube with every tire sold. The firm believes that the public will get in the way of buying this new tire as never before, with the extended use which now is anticipated. Construction methods as well as materials are what give quality, said a member of the concern today. A side wall cut requires prompt attention if one desires to prevent deterioration of the fabric by capillary attraction and rotting by sand and water. The cotton fabric, regardless of quality, should be filled to prevent absorption. The life of a tire also depends on its resistance to friction caused by loose pockets inside the walls and trend. Uncemented fabric or cords buried in the construction cause 90 per cent of tire troubles. By the use of no-rot fabric, the method of manufacture by internal hydraulic pressure and use of a fine zinc oxide tread the Hydro-Toron tire has acquired the greatest durability as well as resiliency possible. Name Michelin Tire Man and Get Prize Ever notice in a cross section of tire the uneven distribution of rubber and cord with many tires? On one side the rubber may fill up four-fifths of the whole thickness, on the other, not one-half. Failure to get the tire's dimensions from the inside is responsible for this defect, which causes blowouts and short life as nothing else do besides poor quality of materials. The makers of the Michelin tire, for which Nenno & Bock are Anaheim agents, have made no such mistake. They originated the method of inside estimate, as they did the pneumatic tire itself, for that matter. And their product has been in such demand that all four factors, covering as many countries, have been running 24 hours per day ever since January, 1919, in spite of the dull times. The company is offering a prize of $1,000 in cash, and other cash prizes down to a few dollars for the best name and slogan or phrase for the Michelin tire man, a figure made of POPULARITY SECOND, EFFICIENCY FIRST Sometimes it pays to be unpopular. A story told by C. L. Bockus, production manager for Studebaker at South Bend, relates to the employment of a man named Abbott who because of his unpopularity as an inspector was chosen by Studebaker. Abbott has been connected with some of the prominent Detroit motor car factories for years in the inspection departments, and has antagonized production men time after time because of his rigid adherence to a high standard for the manufacture of parts and their final assembly into cars. When he was engaged to be chief inspector for the Studebaker Light Six plants it was freely predicted that his drastic methods would shut down the delivery department. Bockus told him to shut down the whole works if that was needed to get the cars built right. Bockus stood firm that if the cars were not properly built it was better not to send them out. Abbott went to work, and while he made some improvements in methods he did not even find it necessary to delay deliveries, for the methods previously in force had been bringing the cars up to a very high standard. More light six models are going through the factories than ever before, and the dealers say that they are coming through in better shape of records details of finish. Abbott is a strong favorite with the sales departments wherever he has worked, for it has been easier to satisfy the motorists to whom cars are delivered that are properly assembled and tested to begin with. According to Harry D. Riley, Studebaker distributor for this section, Studebaker business is better this year than ever, and the Studebaker organization is filled with men who are striving to maintain the ideal of the Studebaker brothers who founded the business 20 years ago. It is to this careful attention to detail, that Riley ascribes a large share of the success of the line which has been reported as giving most satisfactory transportation to Studebaker owners. PRIME MINISTERS WORK WITH SPEED BERLIN, March 18 — How many A Confederate veteran of the Civil War, member of the First Company, Richmond howitzers; 82 years old, and in need, seeking two comrades. The above item in Richmond, Va., newspapers, brought letters and affidavits from two "buddies" of D. W. Bean, Bois D'Arc Civil War veteran, who has been seeking the necessary information to obtain a pension from the state under the Missouri Confederate soldiers' pension law. When the veterans applied to the state adjutant for a pension he was informed that state and federal records of Confederate soldiers gave no information to prove that he was in service. Under the terms of the Confederate pension law, since the records of Confederate soldiers are incomplete, veterans are entitled to a pension if they can obtain affidavits from two persons showing that they were in service six months and had an honorable discharge or parole from one of the federal prisons. So it was that Bean wrote to the Richmond, Va., officials and requested that his letter be published asking that at least two of his comrades send the necessary affidavits. Today Mr. Bean is getting his pension of $10 a month from the state. TURIN HYENA BAND BARS FRENCH PLAYS ROME, March 18.—Francophobia combined with a desire to boost home literature has decided the Turin Literary Society known as the Hyena Band to whistle down French plays. French plays have been extremely popular in Italy, practically replacing native comedies. Bologna has opened a comedy theater where new plays exclusively by Italians are produce, but anonymously. The Italians find that an author's name may make or break a play and so propose this new method to obtain an unbiased opinion.

Los Angeles St., Anaheim The makers of the Michelin tire, for which Nenno & Bock are Anaheim agents, have made no such mistake. They originated the method of inside estimate, as they did the pneumatic tire itself, for that matter. And their product has been in such demand that all four factories, covering as many countries, have been running 24 hours per day ever since January, 1919, in spite of the dull times. The company is offering a prize of $1,000 in cash, and other cash prizes down to a few dollars for the best name and slogan or phrase for the Michelin tire man, a figure made of tires, one piled on top of the other. Abroad the tire man has been called Bibendum from the fact that he was first shown holding a goblet, evidently proposing a toast—"Nunc est Bibendum." The first pneumatic tire was driven over broken bottles, nails and all sorts of pernicious objects, and held up so well that it made good at once in face of all sorts of scepticism. The house of Michelin is the oldest tire maker in the world. It was founded in 1832. The pneumatic was invented in 1895, and at once the demonstration was made that the pneumatic was practicable for trucks. The house invented the first detachable cycle tire in 1891; the first demountable rim in 1906; the first steel disc wheel in 1913; and the first ring shaped tube in 1915. The non-skid tread also originated with it. Application cards and rules of competition for the contest may be obtained of Nenno & Bock. PRIME MINISTERS WORK WITH SPEED BERLIN, March 18.—How many minutes do Prime Ministers need to settle the affairs of the world? Raymond Poincare, and David Lloyd George, according to the calculation of German newspapers, had twelve and a half minutes for each topic on the program which, the official communique states, was run through the Boulogne. If it be taken as granted that each needed five minutes to state his views on each topic, then there would be left only 150 seconds for them to reach an agreement. Anaheim Battery Co.
