YOSEMITE TO BE FINER THAN EVER Being awakened at night by the thunder of snow slides, assisting the camp crew (including even the cook) in shovelling the new and heavy fall of snow from the roofs, floundering around in search of the gables of the bungalows—such were the experiences of Don Tresido and Bob Williams, assistant managers of Camp Curry when they went up to Yosemite Valley last week to "look over the ground" at Camp Curry for the coming season of 1922, which will be in full swing by May 1. "Not for 33 years has there been a fall of snow that even approached that of this winter," declared Tressider. "On my recent trip through the East, arranging next winter's lecture tour, a most surprising amount of snow was encountered, but in spite of this I was totally unprepared for the great snowfall of this winter in Yosemite." "It means," supplemented Williams, "that this is the year of years to summer in the Yosemite, for never since MF. and Mrs. D. A. Curry opened Camp Curry a quarter of a century ago there been the promise of waterfalls throughout the summer. "It means, too, that those who do not prefer to visit the valley with the great numbers of people in May, June and July will miss nothing of serenity by coming to Camp Curry later." Camp Curry is co-operating with nature to make this season the best in the history of Yosemite. A new dormitory for the male employees and a new concrete building for "service," housing the stock room, refrigerator plant, candy shop, bakery. More Cars Used, Bought Last Winter Than Ever "More automobiles already owned were kept in service all through the 1921-1922 season than in any previous year," according to the Chevrolet Review, which adds that more new cars were purchased during the past winter than in any winter before it. The reason for the increased demand were greater dependence on motor transportation, greater familiarity with their ability, better built automobiles, better roads everywhere and the superior convenience and comfort of individual motor transportation in bad weather. "An even greater factor in this result however has been the increasing appreciation of the closed car. The superior advantages of the Sedan and Coupe for year round use are obvious. Equipped with one of these one never minds the weather. And the only reasons they have not been used more extensively before has been their purchase price and the idea that they were more expensive to operate than open models. "The new Superior Chevrolet four door Sedan and four-passenger Coupe have changed this attitude entirely. At the New York and Chicago Automobile Shows this winter these two models were presented to the public at $875 each, f.o.b. Flint, Mich.—a lower price than the great majority of open cars. Moreover these two closed cars are as economical in the matter of gasoline, oil and tires as Chevrolet open models and more economical than higher priced open cars."

Not only private citizens are purchasing the tires for their pleasure cars, but merchants are getting them for their business vehicles. Oil workers come in with tires which they have driven for 2,000 miles that still are in excellent condition. And in the weather of the past winter and while the roads were in poor condition, too. A nice covering for the extra tire goes with a set. TWO JORDANS SOLD ON DAY OF ARRIVAL Two Jordans were sold by J. E. Walter Co., yesterday, the first day they arrived. One was a Brougham Jordan, sold to Edward Schneider, proprietor of the meat market; the other a Jordan touring, sold to F. N. High, president of the First National Bank of Brea. The new models, which the local distributors are exhibiting, have attracted unusual interest on the part of buyers all over the northern part of the county.

It is of plate glass and heavily framed—a thing of beauty for any car. The shield is the product of a company which has been manufacturing wind shields for the past two years and one-half, and the local concern feels fortunate in obtaining the agency. Among the features of it is large bronze hinges, nickel-plated and ball-bearing but firm in any position in which they may be put. The price for a short time has been reduced from $65.00 to $47.50, with installation free of charge. Inspection of this shield is recommended by the company, before purchase elsewhere. Nash First Car Of Old Rancher J. F. Harrison never owned a car before until Bob White sold him a Nash 4. Now old Dobbin, which Harrison has been driving into town for the last six years—ever since he came to this vicinity—will be retired to farm duties. Harrison is the owner of a 13-acre grove of Valencias on the Olive road. He has been a familiar figure almost daily in his buggy, drawn by Dobbin. It would be difficult perhaps to find another grower of any importance outside the city who hasn't a car of some sort. Harrison literally is one of the last survivors, perhaps the last. He made his first trip into the Delivery on Some Studebakers Delayed Harry D. Riley, distributor for the Studebaker in northern Orange-co., announces that owing to the popularity of the car and the fact that the demand has exceeded the supply, delivery cannot be promised at once on certain models. March sales were unusually large. One young man who recently purchased a Studebaker said: "Studebaker cars are getting as thick as Fords." "We consider this quite a compliment," said Riley. Dodge Power Plant Graham Truck Feature Significance of Fast Speed Is Shown Some interesting reflections are made by James E. Appleby, distributor for Anaheim and Santa Ana and their vicinities of the Durant, on the speed of racing cars, culminating in the 115.2 mile gait of Tommy Milton in the Durant Special at Los Angeles recently. This is 125 to 132 miles per hour in the stretches, on the basis of 15 to 20 per cent greater speed than on the curves. One’s sense of speed in an airplane at 150 miles, says Appleby, is not a third as intense as in an auto at 115 miles. Comparing conditions, the marvel of the car’s speed on the earth comes to light—the marvel of human endurance and car endurance. In 1912 Appleby was interested in racing. The limit on piston displacement at that time was 250 inches, and the speed was 62 or 63 miles per hour, which was considered extraordinary. Later the limit was 300 inches. Old-timers then declared that the racing game would be ruined. Appleby was associated with Job Burman at this time. Racers were doing 118 to 120 miles per hour. Then the piston displacement was cut to 183 inches, which it is at present. This by the way is 17 inches less than that of the Durant stock car. Now 131 inches is proposed. Whether it will be adopted remains to be seen. But whatever records remain to be achieved, 115.2 miles, or 125 miles in the stretch, is remarkable enough at 183 inches and by comparison with any other kind of a vehicle. Appleby thinks so. Comfort at Reduced Prices From Snubbers Why bounce yourself unnecessarily, loosen bolts and add to the depreciation of your car? These are the things that the Gabriel snubber is meant to lessen or prevent. Nenno & Bock of South Los Angeles street are the distributors. As the car springs compress, the spring within the coil expands and takes up the slack in the belting, then as the rebound commences, the Nash 4. Now old Dobbin, which Harrison has been driving into town for the last six years—ever since he came to this vicinity—will be retired to farm duties. Harrison is the owner of a 13-acre grove of Valencias on the Olive road. He has been a familiar figure almost daily in his buggy, drawn by Dobbin. It would be difficult perhaps to find another grower of any importance outside the city who hasn’t a car of some sort. Harrison literally is one of the last survivors, perhaps the last. He made his first trip into the city Thursday morning, and is pleased as life over his new plaything, just like everybody else. He purchased the car just in time to entertain a sister and niece who have come here from Colorado. Bob White regards Harrison’s purchase as a tribute, not only because it is the grower’s first car, but because Harrison with all his accumulated scepticism and shrewdness picked the car which he believes is the best value for the money expended. Recently, the story goes, a farmer tried to buy a buggy at Pendleton, Ore., and none could be found. Further inquiry even in Portland failed to reveal one. After a long telegraphic investigation about the state one finally was located. At this rate, it would appear doubtful if there was another buggy besides that of Harrison in the county. PRICES AT BOTTOM JORDAN DECLARES Convincing evidence that the public may have waited to long in anticipation of the bottom having been reached in motor car and tire prices, is furnished by the Jordan Motor Car Company in a report on sales for the last week in March. Jordan announced a substantial reduction in price March 26 and orders were taken for one month’s production in the first seven days. An immediate shortage in Jordan cars was created. "It looks as though the bottom had been reached in all prices," said President Jordan. "Akron tire makers report that prices will be increased 10 to 15 per cent within thirty to sixty days. Independent steel manufacturers are raising their prices. One of the big quantity producers of motor cars, now running 700 daily, is considering raising the price because the dealers cannot accumulate a single car in the face of the present demand. Another manufacturer raised his price last week." "This does not mean that all prices will rise immediately, but with the price of farm products rapidly rising the tendency of prices in manufactured articles will be toward higher levels." Comfort at Reduced Prices From Snubbers Why bounce yourself unnecessarily, loosen bolts and add to the depreciation of your car? These are the things that the Gabriel snubber is meant to lessen or prevent. Nenno & Bock of South Los Angeles street are the distributors. As the car springs compress, the spring within the coil expands and takes up the slack in the belting, then as the rebound commences, the coils of belting begin to tighten and create friction on the band of brass between them, thus forming a resistance that increases gradually as the coil compresses the spring with it. This action steadies and controls the car springs, and causes them to regain their normal position gradually without jerk or abrupt stop. The result is the occupants move with the seat instead of being bounced or lofted from it. Special snubbers are provided for Ford pleasure cars and trucks. They produce results that will surprise you. Literature and prices furnished upon request. Gabriel snubbers are adapted to trucks as well as pleasure cars, they protect same from vibration when light and the contents from damage when loaded. 6 MORE CARS SOLD BY HARRY D. RILEY Harry D. Riley reports the sale of these cars: New Studebaker light six sedan to Homer G. Ames; new Studebaker light six roadster to R. F. Brown; new light six touring to John E. Keese, L. H. Lester of Fallerton and C. Leon also have purchased cars.

Center St. Anaheim Automobile Section TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR Lincoln Will Have Ford Motor Service It is the intention of Henry Ford to make the service of the Lincoln car as complete as that of the Ford car, just as soon as possible, accord- in gto his own statement. Recently Motor Age addressed an inquiry to Ford whether it was agreeable to him to answer the follo- wing questions: 1. Is the flat rate system that has been so beneficial to Ford dealers and Ford cars, to be put in effect for the Lincoln? 2. Is it expected that the Lincoln and Ford cars will be served through the same service departments? 3. Will you follow the well estab- lished Ford policy as to permitting parts made by other manufacturers to be used on the Lincoln cars? 4. Do you expect to make the Lincoln service as universal as the Ford service? The reply from Ford's personal office was as follows: "Answering your inquiry address- ed to Mr. Ford, we desire to advise that Ford policies will gradually be put into effect in the Lincoln Motor Car Co., or as fast as it is possible to do so." Essex Touring Car Pleases Harty Hartz Seventy-five miles on any ordina- ry boulevard! That's what Harry Hartz one of the speed kings who have been distinguishing themselves at the recent Beverly Hills race. AUTO CLUB TRAILING MASHER Terrified by attentions forced on them while driving on Southern Cali- fornia boulevards, scores of women operators of automobiles have appealed to the Automobile Club of So. California for protection. A reign of terror threatens to exist on the highways of the southern part of the state for women who motor alone, driving their own cars, accord- ing to testimony submitted to the Auto club. The husband of one motorist asserts that at various times when his wife attempts to drive on the less crowded thoroughfares she is harassed by men who crowd her car into the curb or who follow her for blocks, seeking to force their attentions upon her. Others state that "pests" in motor cars are patrolling the highways for the single purpose of annoying women who find it necessary to drive alone between various Southern Cali- fornia cities. In some instances the "pests" are so persistent that women have had to seek sanctuary in conven-ient garages. In order to aid in putting a stop to this sort of thing on the roads, officials of the Auto club have issued a broadcast plea to all motorists to observe the license numbers of such machines which are following or an- Essex Touring Car Pleases Harty Hartz Seventy-five miles on any ordinary boulevard! That's what Harry Hartz one of the speed kings who have been distinguishing themselves at the recent Beverly Hills races, says his Essex touring car can do. This particular car is one of those driven across the continent recently in the transcontinental mail tests, when the trip was made from New York to San Francisco in four days and 14 hours. Dave Lewis was the driver on this occasion. The car already has been driven 35,000 miles before Hartz got it. As H. L. Grove of Townsend & Medbury, local agents said, Hartz is as pleased with the speed and power of his Essex touring car as Dr. J. A. Geissinger, pastor of the White Temple, is with his Essex coach for its comfort and general satisfaction. Each model of the Essex appears to be the acme of desirability in the different respects named. Hartz says he has gotten more fun than a little bit from this Essex, and judging by the extent he is using it he is not concealing anything. Hartz is an Angeleno, known for years in the juvenile races before he became a team mate of Tommy Murphy in the Deusenberg. He was placed in the recent sprints and came in third in the 250-mile race against such stars as Tommy Milton, Bordino the Italian, etc. Others state that "pests" in motor cars are patrolling the highways for the single purpose of annoying women who find it necessary to drive alone between various Southern California cities. In some instances the "pests" are so persistent that women have had to seek sanctuary in convenient garages. In order to aid in putting a stop to this sort of thing on the roads, officials of the Auto club have issued a broadcast plea to all motorists to observe the license numbers of such machines which are following or annoying women and to send these numbers at once to the legal department of the club, where the case will be attended to. "It is too bad if the roads are becoming unsafe for women operators of automobiles who find it necessary to tour alone," stated S. L. Mitchell, secretary of the Auto club. "This organization, which has received numerous complaints to that effect, is going to do all in its power to curb such a nuisance, and the co-operation of the motoring public is seriously requested at once. Reports of such annoyances are received from all sections." C. H. MANN SELLS 11 CARS IN MARCH Charley Mann, Dodge distributor, sold these cars during March; Dodge touring cars to the Union Oil Company, C. B. Sterner, F. J. Praitt, R. H. Cavett of Placentia, and Frank Arnold; coupe to Mrs. R. E. Nebelung, and roadsters to R. H. Briggs of Placentia, H. Requarth and L. A. Benner. C. F. Jennings and O. K. Wofford, of Orange, purchased used cars. Valve-in-Head backs them all! Difference of opinion makes horse races, but when it comes to motor car racing, there's one point on which nearly all agree — the superiority of the Valve-in-Head type of motor. Racing drivers know that the Valve-in-Head develops more driving power and is the most consistent and dependable long-distance performer on track or road. Thousands of Buick owners know Valve-in-Head is "the best bet," too. When you have the opinion of racing drivers and Buick owners both, it's easy to see where to place your money for sure returns. Valve-in-Head backs the wisest drivers and they back Valve-in-Head. ANAHEIM AUTO CO Wm.
