RUSH IS EXPECTED TO YOSEMITE SOON With the roads into Yosemite Valley now in good condition for travel, it is expected the rush will be on immediately. "The Open Road comes a few days later than last year, because of the unusual fall of snow in the Sierra, but while this snow briefly delayed the opening of the season, it brought with it compensation for such delay, in the magnificence of the full waterfalls and the brimming of river," says Bob Williams, assistant manager of Camp Curry. "The vegetation and flowers, too, will be at their best all through the summer because of the excess water." An interesting point is that this unusually wet season will have gone on record for the enlightenment of future generations, hundreds of years hence. The great Sequolas are busy now with their evidence, and scientists in years to come will know by the unusually wide ring growth in these giant trees that the snow and rain-fall of 1922 has been accurately reported. "Who knows but in our tramps along the trails, in the peaks and crests above the valley this summer, that we may not find ample opportunity for coasting and snowballing, hidden away in the high recesses of the lofty peaks and deep gorges where the sun seldom enters? "Camp Curry has been like a busy hive of bees adjusting their quarters to accommodate an unusual swarm, and soon the visitors will come pour- Eighteen Durants Are Sold at Orange Show Jim Appleby has been selling so many Durant care lately that he can't remember 'em all.

CHASSIS IS INDEP OF CAR QUICK "A car is judged by its car can be no better than two having to do with the chassis design and construction self-evident to the motor- the Studebaker Corporation Harry D. Riley is represent Anaheim, Orange and Full seasoned automobile engineers to build into his simplicity, proper distr weight, accessibility—all with strength and solidity struction. The Studebaker have been designed through these fundamental character view and no thought or part of the engineer spared to produce the best. In the present Studebaker the outstanding evidences are apparent on even sup amination in the use of the material, such as chrome-nitium, and molybdenum steel of taper roller bearings to a generous use of drop for the unusual attention which to all the small and see significant details that go construction of a car. The methods of mount transmission at three point sub-frame, permits it to in an intermediate positive chassis, insuring flexibil weight distribution, as well reduction. The importance o facces Buick Closed Cars Have Power and Grace Experienced motorists form the vast majority of Buick purchasers and investigation shows that their selection is almost invariably made because the Buick chassis meets their ideas as to mechanical design and serviceability and one of the body types fulfills their motoring needs, says bulletin of the manufacturers received by William Goodwin, distributor. Among the open models, the Buick three-passenger car makes a wide appeal because it fulfills so completely the requirements of those motorists who, for business or professional reasons, prefer a car of limited passenger capacity and still a car unlimited in endurance and capacity for service. The new roadster measures up in every detail to the standard set by Buick for a car of this type. It's rugged Valve-in-Head motor gives it fleetness and an abundance of power for rough, hard work. And its generous driving compartment, in connection with its carefully balanced chassis, makes the going comfortable. These things have resulted along with good looks. Its modish appearance is distinctly Buick — an expression of a character inwardly sound and trustworthy and blended with a free feeling of trimness and staunchness. And owners find that this distinctive Buick design, common to all models, wears well and continues to please one's appreciation of the beautiful. This business-like car is splendidly equipped. Directly back of the seat is a large interior compartment affording ample storage space for the traveler's bags, the tourist's suitcases, or the sportsman's gun cases or golf bags. Another compartment is provided beneath the rear deck for larger personal or business effects. The roadster is fitted with every convenience for both passengers and driver and may be operated with perfect satisfaction by both men and women. New Chandler Six Another Path The new Chandler six, the J. E. Walter Co., is sets a new high mark in the opinion, in smartness best fort power and dependability a price that scraps previous car values. Says the company. From the classy barrel lamps to the rugged spans sembly—from the snapper to aluminum steps to the grace-tailored top—this sensati Chandler is every inch a snish car.

We can show you 84 definite points of superiority in the Special-Six Studebaker over its nearest competitor. In times of close competition, merit wins. Today competition in automobiles is keener than it ever was, because people are buying more carefully than ever. Studebaker increased its sales 29 per cent in 1921, though the industry as a whole showed a falling off of nearly 45 per cent; 1922, up to May 1st, shows a gain in Studebaker production of 143 per cent over the same period of 1921. These statements are worth reiterating 3 or 4 times if you are really interested in purchasing an automobile. Studebaker sales records tell their own story. The buying public has declared for Studebaker superiority. "This is another Studebaker year." Harry D. Riley Studebaker Dealer 151 So.

CHASSIS IS INDEX OF CAR QUALITY "A car is judged by its chassis—a car can be no better than its chassis." The truth of those two statements, having to do with the correctness of chassis design and construction, are self-evident to the motor-wise, says the Studebaker Corporation of which Harry D. Riley is representative in Anaheim, Orange and Fullerton. The assigned automobile engineer enhances to build into his chassis, simplicity, proper distribution of weight, accessibility—all combined with strength and solidity of construction. The Studebaker chasses have been designed throughout with these fundamental characteristics in new and no thought or expense on the part of the engineer has been aimed to produce the best results. In the present Studebaker cars, the outstanding evidences of quality are apparent on even superficial examination in the use of the best material, such as chrome-nickel, vanamum, and molybdenum steel, the use taper roller bearings throughout, generous use of drop forgings, and the unusual attention which is given all the small and seemingly insignificant details that go into the instruction of a car. The methods of mounting the transmission at three points on the b-frame, permits it to be carried an intermediate position, on theassis, insuring flexibility, better light distribution, as well as weight reduction. The importance o facessibility has PAIGE CLIMBS BURCH HILL, BREA, 'ON HIGH' Sam Hubbell and some of his men on Wednesday demonstrated once again the hill-climbing powers of the Paige, for which Hubbell is distributor, by climbing Burch Hill, back of Brea, nine times "on high." Paul Allen, local district manager for the Automobile Club of Southern California, accompanied Islie Pultz, one of the drivers of the car, and checked his results. The drive was made from practically a standing start, at a distance only 50 feet from the foot of the hill. ESSEX IS ONE CAR FOR ENTIRE FAMILY The Essex coach and the Essex cabriolet are distinctive models created by this concern. Here's the company's own story regarding the coach and its characteristics; says H. L. Grove of Townsend & Medbury, distributors. The coach fulfills the requirements of business and professional men with economy and satisfaction. And it also is amply large to meet the family need in both city and country service. It will gratify your demands for utility and reliability. There is much about the Essex coach that will appeal, besides its attractive appearance. All controls are easy to reach and to operate. Clutch and brake pedals require hardly more than a touch. You will like its response to wheel and throttle. It is fleet and nimble. It rides 6,000,000th Ford Car Is Finished Recently Ford Motor Number 6,000,000 was lifted from the assembly line in the Highland Park Ford Plant at 9:14 A.M. May 18. Just 5½ seconds later Number 6,000,001 was finished. The unusually heavy demand for Ford cars and trucks at the present time has necessitated the building of 5400 motors daily. These are shipped in carload lots to the various Ford assembling plants throughout the United States. The first Model "T" Ford motor was completed on October 1, 1908; number 1,000,000 left the assembly line December 10, 1915; and number 5,000,000 came through May 28, 1921. Although the Ford Motor Company turned out a number of different models prior to 1908, the present numbering system began with the first model "T." Exide Battery Chosen By Amundsen for Trip The wonders and enjoyment of "listening in" may be brought to the Esquimaux by Captain Amundsen, discoverer of the South Pole, who today sailed from Seattle, bound for the frozen north, where he will make an aerial survey of the North Pole region. For this purpose, an Exide battery New Chandler Six Another Pathfinder The new Chandler six, for which J. E. Walter Co., is the agent, is a new high mark in the makers' union, in smartness beauty, comfort power and dependability and at price that scraps previous motor values. Says the company: From the classy barrel type headaps to the rugged spare tire assemblies—from the snappy distinctive minimum steps to the graceful hand-operated top—this sensational new handler is every inch a smart, modern car. Long of line, deep sided and low lung, this greatest of Chandler creations possesses an irresistible outward grace. The shapely curves of radiator and hood blend into the truly pleasing lines of the body. The individual full crown fenders are a special raised design; the highly kelled plated radiator, cap and motorizer; the captivating side lamps—mixtures of the barrel headlamps; rectangular design; nikel plated radial stanchions; the elitima of the old-fashioned running cards; the location of the gasoline meter and gauge at either end of the highly enameled tank; the ample length of the spare tire carrier—very item a feature of rare beauty and utmost utility.

FRANKLIN PLANT PAYS FOR BRAINS The Franklin organization is one which believes in using all the brains available in the plant and paying for it. For instance, here's a dispatch from the factory at Syacrue which Bob White, distributor for the Franklin and Nash, got recently: Four thousand dollars in cash prizes was distributed to 226 employees of the Franklin Automobile Company on May 22 in Recreation Hall in the Franklin plant in connection with the second Franklin Suggestion Contest. The cash awards included three first prizes of $400 each, one of $300, three of $200, two of $100 and five of $50. In addition, there was a large number of prize winners who received amounts ranging from $25 downward. The prizes were given as a recognition of the efforts made by Franklin men during the past six months to achieve two things: First, to improve the quality of the Franklin car. Exide Battery Chosen By Amundsen for Trip The wonders and enjoyment of "listening in" may be brought to the Esquimaux by Captain Amundsen, discoverer of the South Pole, who today sailed from Seattle, bound for the frozen north, where he will make an aerial survey of the North Pole region. For this purpose, an Exide battery of 56 cells has been included among his equipment, which was loaded a few days ago on Amundsen's good ship Maude. This battery, according to information reaching Manager Ennis of the local Exide service station, is to be used also for radio communication with Washington and is to furnish electric light during the three years Captain Amundsen expects to sojourn in the polar regions. While it will not be possible to get any of the regularly broadcasted concerts for the benefit of his esquimaux neighbors, Captain Amundsen will be able to put them in touch with the nearest point, which will probably be Nome, Alaska. It is also probable that he may "broadcast" specimens of Esquimaux music, which may be picked up by those within 2,000 miles, the radius of his transmitting apparatus. In addition, Captain Amundsen will keep in touch with Washington four times a day. His radio message will be sent and received by relay from Nome to St. Paul Station on the Behring Sea and thence to Washington. The electric lights which Captain Amundsen will install upon his arrival at his destination, however, no longer will be a novelty for the Esquimaux, who already have been acquainted with this modern form of illumination. In 1914 the Crocker-Land Expedition, headed by Captain Donald MacMillan, took a number of Exide Batteries with them, and, for the first time in the history of the world, the Aurora Borealis had a rival in the form of electric illumination. A few months ago Captain Mac Millan returned to the North and again took an electric lighting system including Exides with him. Captain Amundsen will use airplanes upon arriving at the farthest point. From these airplanes will be flashed reports to the Maude where a powerful transmitting apparatus will relay them back to civilization. Such service is necessarily hard on batteries, but Exides have already joined the ranks of Arctic veterans, and nothing short of actual destruction is expected to put them out of commission. The Exides taken by the Crocker Land expedition went through 4,000 miles of storms, and on one occasion were shipwrecked, but never put out of commission. Realizing the necessity of keeping in touch with the outside world, Captain Amundsen... In the driving compartment the hat and accessible grouping of the instrument panel appointments (the box, switch, oil gauge, speedometer, ammeter, dash lamp, cowl indicator and carburetor regulator); the simply operated hand and foot controls; the efficient wind-wheel wiper—all make instant appeal. The same thoughtfulness for your every convenience is apparent in the maneau. Robe and foot rails are acceded to be of the most benefit. In the touring and dispatch cars a tonau light and a package compartment with a lock, are provided. A delightful freedom from ridingigue is attributable to the newhandler's unrestricted spring action. The long, flat underslung springs, with increased clearance between the axle and the frame, cushion even roughness of the roadway. Power? A virile flood of it! This roster of automobiles is driven by renowned Marvelous Motor—designed and constructed in its entirety Chandler. Features include a firm one-off aluminum base, extending solid-from slide to side of the frame; the front chain drive for the auxiliary motor shafts—the three chained running a constant shower-of oil; a highly effective combination manifold; and high-tension magneto for positive rotation. The great power of this wonderful motor is transmitted smoothly through flexible disc propeller shaft to the early, new rear axle. Possession far greater strength than its duties call, a sinewy, clean-cut appearance, a marked silence of operation, and a axle is indeed an engineering relation. The high quality of all materials that enter into Chandler construction, the exacting tests to which each item is subjected; the ample provision for any possible overload of parts; the high type of accessory equipment; the superiority of magno ignition over the cheaper, more complicated battery system—these things, and more, give definite assurance of a degree of dependability that cannot be surpassed. The motorist who starts out to attain and maintain a speed of 35 miles per hour during the summer months is likely to run into trouble. This is the word passed out by the officials of the Auto Club of Orange-co in their efforts to reduce the number of accidents throughout the state, as well as the county. "The law states plainly that cars shall not go faster than 30 miles per hour when there is another car less than 100 yards ahead of them," said A. S. Ralph, manager of the local club. "With the amount of traffic upon all the roads during the summer or touring season, it is practically impossible for any motorist to hold at speed of 35 miles and remain within the law." "All drivers should watch this carefully. A closer observance will aid materially in reducing the number of accidents." "Remember also in driving in close traffic to remain at least 15 feet behind the car ahead of your car. That is the law, and closer observance of the same will reduce the number of accidents caused by drivers who rely on their brakes to stop them a foot from the preceding car." "Never forget that the summer season brings them, for they can in anyone else on aler COUNTY Automobile Section TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR HERE'S LIST OF EVENTS FANS-FOR REMINDER June 15—Annual Convention National Park to Park Highway Ass'n, Sacramento.

AUTO THIEF IS BUSY IN COUNTRY Rural districts are suffering from the attacks of the auto thief this summer throughout Southern California, and hundreds of cars are being stolen at points outside of the cities. Officials of the Automobile Club of Southern California have secured reports from county officials giving actual accounts of their activities, and working upon the information so supplied a campaign to thwart the theft gang's work is to be waged at once. Many motorists wrote to the theft bureau of the organization, asking if the mere removal of the switch key from the car is sufficient to prevent the theft of the machine. Auto drivers want to know if that constitutes "locking the car." No, it does not. This is the reply universally given by the expert thief catchers of the club. Other precautions are necessary to preserve the car safely now, since this part of the state has become the mecca for somp of the most expert automobile stealing gangs in America. Any auto device which 'will cause the thief to take more than three Coupe, Commercial Car New Chevrolet Makes With the building of its new coupe, the first of which are expected this week, and distribution of its new commercial car, the Chevrolet Motor Company is definitely committed to standardized, quality manufacture. The so-called businessman's coupe is a two-passenger car on a 490 chassis, with cord tires, vacuum feed tank in rear and genuine Fisher body body with windows on turned. It sells for $945 here. It is expected to meet needs which are not entirely filled by the four-pasenger coupe. One has been sold already for delivery as soon as those ordered arrive. The equipment is all high class, but includes several features that have proved popular. The commercial car, a sample of which with interior built to order for a local company, is on exhibition at the showrooms of the Frank Taggart Company, is a vehicle the upkeep of which has been reduced to a minimum by standardization. Every smallest part is replaceable at short notice, and the car is so constructed that only a serious accident can damage it generally. The body, for instance, is in panels. And the variety of parts is small. This is an attractive vehicle, just the same, and asturdly and economical one. Made for the most part of metal, it should last for years unless abused. World conferences should become common. There are many problems which are world-wide in scope and which properly should be considered by representatives of all countries. BATTERY TO FULLERTON WOMAN Mrs. E. A. Combs of 316 Wilshire avenue, Fullerton, won the new Vesta battery, in the contest conducted at the Orange Show by West Bros. The battery is made with celluloid insulator and carries a two-year guarantee. Over 3800 coupons were given away in connection with the contest at the company's booth in the industrial section.
