STATE WILL WITNESS 3 BIG RACES Contest Tomorrow at Catati Only First of Them; Durant Himself to Drive LOS ANGELES, Aug. 5—The races at Catati on the coming Sunday, later in France, with the grand finale of the 1922 racing season to be staged on the Beverly Hills bowl Thanksgiving Day promise even more excitement for the fans than usual. Also the cars used are expected to lead the way toward further changes in stock models. Los Angeles will see the introduction of the Durant racing team of six cars, one of the most complete racing organizations that has ever been put on the race track, and predicted as the fastest. The speed of the motor being used, Harry Miller' newest 'straightlight,' is known to be the fastest yet tried, and with a sextette of drivers whose very names bring thrills to the heart of every racing fan when the subject of automobile racing is brought up, the Durant Specials are looked to for great things. R.C. 'Griff Durant; millionaire automobile magnate, well known sportsman, and driver of ability himself, by actively entering the race. L. A. to Seattle With 26.85 Mileage; Franklin When it comes to honest-to-goodness touring economy, J.B. Powles, a Franklin enthusiast, takes all prizes according to Bob White, local distributor of the air-cooled car. In the first place, Powles made the run from Los Angeles to Seattle with a brand new Franklin touring car equipped with a California top at an average of 26.85 miles per gallon of gasoline—and with a 1000-pound load. This in itself was a remarkable feat because the run was made at ordinary touring speeds and higher, even tickling the carburetor along economically up to 45 miles per hour. Now J.B. is at it again. Seattle folks become so interested in the result of his 1759 mile jaunt up the coast that they asked for a local demonstration. And they got it. Officially observed by a number of newspaper men, Powles piloted his faithful Franklin over the Cascade mountains to Spokane and return at an average speed of 27.9 miles per hour, averaging 25.8 miles per gallon of gasoline. Up in the Northwest they consider this the king of all economy demonstrations because it was made by a globe-trotting owner at good touring speed with a full load. White says a demonstration of this kind just naturally makes him feel good all over because it shows, more than any economy test a dealer could arrange, just what the Franklin owner can get by judicious use of the Franklin carburetor control.

This cognate pair have won a place for themselves in the hearts of American autolists that grows the warmer as the years roll by. Both made by the Paige-Detroit Motor Car Co., they represent in their own peculiar distinctions some of the most marvelous strides made in automotive research. To speak of one is to speak of the other. The Paige, the more expensive of the two, is known as "the most beautiful car in America" and where there proof to the contrary. The flexible Jewett with its distinctive hill climbing propensities is not only worth the price that is asked for it but it embodies many features and a durability that puts it into a higher value. It is the Paige way, though—first the Paige, an unexcelled car for a moderate price and then the Jewett, the very embodiment of perfection for a popular price. Mr. Sam Hubbell is an old time resident of Southern California. For sixteen years he was in business close by Anaheim, at Long Beach, where he made successful strides in the business world and where he made many true friends for himself. He came to Anaheim in July, 1921, and he came to open the agency that would henceforth house those two famous cars—the Paige and the Jewett. And so here he is with his two prides—down in North Los Angeles street, at the fine home and handsome show rooms—on hand and at the service of those who come to look at the Paige and Jewett. His business embraces a mechanical department, where the best of service is rendered for both cars, where trained workers look out for the business of keeping the Paige and the Jewett in perfect running order—a work that is available but a service that is seldom wanted by the lucky owners of the two fine autos. Last May, or shortly after this article was written, was the biggest month in the history of the Paige automobile. No doubt that record is being eclipsed by this time. The Jewett is also making history for itself and we find this car growing more popular every day. The Jewett demonstration is amazing—there is no room to tell the story here. Go and see for yourself. And the Paige goes on with its enviable station in the auto world. What an eminent and dignified vocation it is to represent these wonders of the road. Mr. Hubbell is a far-sighted and progressive merchant. Associated with the firm as salesman is Mr. W. B. Bunbury, a clean cut, hustling young man that typifies our best American manhood. Lexington Motor Co. Puts Out New Coupe "This car looks as if it had had its adenoids removed," remarked a prospect, as he glanced at the chassis of a Lexington car, which Manager DeCue of the local Lexington agency is displaying. "He meant the car breathed more freely," said DeCue by way of explanation. "The action of its motor, because of the absence of overlapping, is more facile." The same chassis of course is found under all models. Regarding the present price cutting, DeCue called attention to the fact that the sedan is $2,000 under that of a year ago, with values even higher. The Lexington, in fact, slashed prices more unmercifully than almost any other car ni the country. There are four light six models to choose from—roadster, touring, coupe and sedan, ranging from $1190, off $70 for the roadster to $1725, off $200 for the sedan; five special six models, including the club roadster, and ranging from $1495, off $180 for the roadster to $2375, off $300 for the sedan; and four big six models, touring, speedster, coupe and sedan, priced from $1935 for the touring, off $140, to $2850 for the sedan, off $225. These are the prices delivered in Orange county and including war taxes.

The newest member of the Lexington series 22 closed car line, announced this week by the company, is a coupe of striking lines, dignified without being severe, and a car the all-round utility of which has been developed to a high degree. At its price of $2345 Frank B. Ansted, president of the Lexington, declares that no greater closed car value has ever been offered. Equipped with the Ansted Engine, the car is assured of power to spare. Its appeal to women drivers is as great as to men because of its ease of handling and the comfort, even luxury, of its appointments. The primary appeal of the car is its utility.

The seating arrangement is the one now used almost universally.

Riley, Anaheim, Fullerton and Orange distributor, at reductions corresponding with the levels at which they are offered, represent values not merely equal to those embodied in models of our car the past year, but even greater.

Butler, manager of the Los Angeles office of the State Motor Vehicle Dept., has run up against a snag in his order that tourists entering California for brief periods on tour must, if within 75 miles of the Los Angeles or San Diego offices of the department, appear in person and apply for permits.
