Saturday, May 20, 1922 DISTRIBUTOR ON ACCIDENT CAUSES With the advent of Safety Week here there has been much discussion as to the causes of accidents; methods for the prevention of such an appalling loss of life and time and the working out of plans that will solve the traffic problem. Every one has his own ideas on this question and a prominent distributor offers some remarks which give a different light to the problem. "Over and above the human element in safety in driving is the motor car itself," said this man. "Regardless of how carefully we drive unless we have a car that is equipped with good brakes, a car that has sufficient speed and power to get out of the way of danger and a car that is perfectly balanced and practically immune from skidding, even on wet streets, we are bound to have accidents." "I do not believe that motorists in general give enough consideration to the question of brakes. Brakes are one of the most important parts of the automobile and should be kept in perfect condition all the time." "While speed, for the most part, is not a thing to be encouraged, unless the car has enough power to jump out of the way of danger it is going to get the driver into lots or embarrassing positions." "To be able to get up and go gives the driver a feeling of confidence because he knows that in a pinch his car will do just what is expected of it." "Balance is another thing which contributes considerably to the question of safety in a motor car." "In addition to brakes, acceleration and balance, the materials that go into every unit are of the greatest importance, for unless you have dependable materials the car will crumble up in a crash like the old wooden railway cars used to before the days of steel coaches." "Of course, the question of safety is largely up to the individual, but the motor car itself plays a mighty important part and every year manufacturers are giving more and more study to the problem of making a car that is dependable and safe in every respect." AUTO OUSTS HORSE, WHAT COMES NEXT? While in the mammoth "big tops" that cover the California Valencia Orange Show, arranging for space and planning the exhibit of his cars, Frank P. Taggart, dealer for the Chevrolet in Anaheim and Fullerton, started a rather interesting conversation by putting forth the question as to what kind of craft would be the center of show interest some few years hence. But a few years ago a prancing steed was the accepted means of locomotion for the shining buggy of the lovelorn swain while a team of high reined, sleek beauties at the front of the family carriage was all that fashion demanded. Time, however, has wrought its changes. Today the young folks woo in the obscure protection of a coupe or journey to and fro in a snappy roadster. For the family the luxurious confines of a Wills-St. "Flax" Unqualified flat rate system is given by Wills-St. Claim H. H. Kelly tributors of the Keither says C. H. Wills & co. of prices.

WONDERFUL SCENERY ALONG RIDGE ROUTE The motorist who wishes to pass through scenes of beauty but finds his real enjoyment in contemplating huge natural resources being developed will find the Ridge route trip to Bakersfield and the oil fields a most delightful journey for the "Call of the Open Road" week. The Ridge route, known as the road of 1136 turns, goes from Los Angeles to the heart of the oil fields along the crests o f the celebrated Castiac mountains, passing through some of the most celebrated cities in Southern California. The scenic beauty is the beautiful view which may be enjoyed from the crest of the Castiacs. Some lowers of nature hold that the magnificence and coloring of these mountains are even more beautiful than those of the Grand Canyon. As the car glides along, the many curves open up vistas, panoramas and broad sweeps of mountain majesty, which become all the more beautiful because they are brought to the eyes suddenly, being opened up for a view as the car swings around a turn, only to be lost when it follows another curve. To reach this wonderful mountain range the motorist will go north on Main street, Los Angeles, to the San Fernando boulevard, which he will follow to San Fernando and Saugus. From there the way is over the mountains to Baileys, Lebec, down to Rose station, and then, in almost a straight line, direct to Bakersfield. That the roads are in excellent condition is the report brought back by the official observers who piloted the course in a Gardner light four. GIRL LEAVES $50,000 TO LOVER, THEN KILLS SELF LOS ANGELES. May 29.—Miss Ora L. Aldes, who had willed her fortune of approximately $50,000 to her sweetheart, Fred Green, shot and killed herself after a quarrel with Green over his signing a four months' contract to appear in the movies.

Faithful Dobin has served his day and the passing of the buggy and carriage is at hand and it is barely possible that a future date not far distant we will view them as they pass in parade or review with the same amount of interest and curiosity as we do the old stage coach at the present time. Perhaps there are those who do not fully realize just how near this condition approaches, states Mr. Taggart but just let them try to purchase one of these vehicles in Orange county. I venture to say that they will find it impossible to procure what they desire." It's not surprising, however, adds Taggart, that the automobile should be the people's choice as a means of transportation. The Chevrolet costs less than a good span of horces and the necessary vehicle. It's expedient in travel and operates at a minimum expense. Mrs. E. O. F. by Mr. and Mrs. Anakeheim, spent Angeles. J.

THE GOLDEN RULE PREVENTS ACCIDENTS "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you is a good slogan for both the pedestrian and the motorist, in the opinion of one dealer. "A majority of accidents are purely a matter of disregard for the feelings of others and many of them could be prevented if we all would remember that it is our duty to let the other drivers and pedestrians know just what we intend to do—whether we are going to slow down, stop, turn right or left, or what not. "I was talking with the captain of police in charge of traffic and he said that most accidents are caused by the failure of the driver to give the hand signal. It is such an easy matter to give these signals and they are of such importance that it should be made unlawful for anyone to turn right or left or stop in any of the crowded districts down town without first giving the hand signal. HARDING ISN'T WORRIED WASHINGTON, May 20. President Harding believes that both Gilford Pinchot and Albert J. Beveridge will support his administration.
