THRILLS GALORE FOR SPECTATORS AT SAN CARLOS SPEEDWAY RACES Tommy Hilton, national champion, hat in the back row of the press box at San Carlos Speedway last Sunday and watched Harry Hartz win his first race. That is, he watched from the press stand for 43 laps. Then he went down into Harry's pit. It was a novel experience for the champion. On one side sat Wilbur Hall, author of fiction yarns and the first man to ever write the racing sport into a popular weekly and other publications. "Change of Face," a story based on the showing of the little Chevrolet car in the 1914 Los Angeles-Phoenix Road Race in which Cliff Durant jumped into fame in a three days' battle across the desert, gave Hall the story. After the third lap of the San Carlos event last Sunday, Tommy Milton announced that Harry Hartz was going to win. Harry did just as Tommy predicted. On the 42nd lap Jimmy Murphy began to slow up and the champion detected a dangerous symptom or two in the sound of Murphy's motor. Milton listened for another lap then announced: "Jimmy's cuckoo." He got up and moved out of the press stand followed by Hall and was next seen in Harry's pit. When little Harlan Fengler, Harry's youthful mechanic, noticed the fabric on the right-rear tire and signalled to W. G. Stephenson, owner of the fast Ducsenberg, indicating that Hart would want another tire, the great Milton motioned him to go-on—full speed ahead was the signal, and no driver could ever mistake it. Hartz did go on. With his right-rear showing white, and Jimmy Murphy hanging on in his tow, with a dozen chances to a lap that he would blow a tire, young Hartz put up one of the prettiest exhibitions of Heart ever seen on the speedway. And little Jimmy Murphy showed the same brand of heart when he held on—flirting with death and ready to pay the price of speed with every tick of the clock. It was the signal from the champion that did it perhaps; but Milton says not. Milton says that Hartz has the Heart to become the greatest driver of all time—and that is some compliment, coming from Tommy Milton. POPULARITY OF BELL TIRES GROWS It has reached the point where people are coming to the Bell tire distributors instead of the latter having to go to the public, said R. N. Mendoza, of the Reliable Tire Co., local distributor, commenting on the reputation which the tire was gaining. This is the company which, though its tires are $2.00 to $10.00 cheaper, is giving an out and out guarantee of 10,000 miles on cords and 6,000 on fabrics. The prices are the inducement. No claims for adjustment on the basis of the guarantee have been made yet anywhere, said Mendoza, who based his statement on information from George T. Bell, president of the Bull Tire Company of Los Angeles, Pacific coast distributors, who was here recently. The Reliable Tire Company has seen tires here that were practically as good as new, said Mendoza, after 10,000 miles. Thousands Signing Safe Driver Pledge Unusual interest is being taken in the safety campaign now being waged by the Auto Club of So. Calif., according to a report just issued locally. Thousands of motorists are signing pledges to drive safely, and in order to prove that they mean what they say they are mounting the green and white windshield stickers on their cars. Word received by the club's safety bureau from the east indicates that the system started here will be taken up nationally. These stickers and pledges can be obtained at any club county office—have you applied for yours yet, Mr. Motorist? It is up to the drivers of automobiles themselves to cut down the appalling list of fatalities in the southern counties, say club officials, and to that end every driver is given an opportunity to enlist in the movement now!

If an insured car is stolen the is paid on the basis of: "the actual cash value of the property at the time of loss with proper deduction for depreciation however caused." AUTOMOBILE Fire and Theft Insurance is written on what is called a non-valued policy. If an insured car is stolen the is paid on the basis of: "The actual cash value of the property at the time of loss with proper deduction for depreciation however caused. which (value) shall in no event exceed what it would then the time of loss) cost to repair or replace the property. The amount of insurance stated in the policy is the maximum sum for which the company is liable in event of total loss also the amount upon which the premium is computed. If amount of insurance is greater than the cash value of the mobile the policy holder is paying for more insurance that can collect in extent of loss. All automobile values have been reduced, directly or rectly, by manufacturers' price cuts and by the overstock in used car market in recent months. A condition has been stated under which many automobiles which were not insured more than they were worth when the policies covering them were written, are today overinsured."

This is the warning which the Automotive Electric Company is issuing to its patrons in connection with the active resumption of pleasure travel. "Have your magnetos and batteries fixed up before you start out," D. F. Cecil advised. "Prevention is better than cure." "The coils of your batteries may be burned out or near to it, and switches left too long. Your ignition may need cleaning out. Your generator may have gotten full of dead oil or gummed up. The points may have become corroded and need priming up." A battery gets run down. Anyhow, it dries more quickly in warm weather. Three or four days may suffice to do the trick. The company is the authorized station for Eisemann magnetos which have special attachments including impulse coupling for Fordsons. LAUNDRIES USING DODGE COMMERCIAL With the laundry business taking on the proportions of a big-scale enterprise and using the most up-to-date delivery and equipment, signs are not lacking that the old era of laundering is passing, says a Dodge company official. "Not so long ago the words 'laundry business' corjured up immediately a vision of a quaint old store with its dilapidated sign in front announcing one 'Wing Lee' as the proprietor—or else the phrase brought up a picture of the 'wash lady' of a few years ago who called for the family linen and brought it back, next day, snow white and immaculate. The modern laundry is more likely to be housed in an impressive building, with a modern garage for its business cars—and laundrymen are not reluctant to admit that the motor car is playing an important part in their growth. As an example of progressive delivery methods, 74 laundries throughout the country operate fleets of three or more Dodge Brothers Business Cars, while the count of owners of one or two Dodge Broth- Jordan at Astoria New $17 The new Jordan price brought instant public response.
