CLUB RE-POSTING LINCOLN HIGHWAY Freshly sign-posted highways throughout America will be ready for the Fall touring, according to word received from the Automobile Club of Southern California. Across the continent, signposting operations are now under way on the Lincoln Highway and the National Old Trails route between Kansas City and California, under the direction of the Southern California motoring organization. These important routes, used by 85,000 motorists parties annually, will be more thoroughly marked this summer than even before, and it is stated that the trans-continent touring party will find it impossible to get lost at any point. In California, the club is now occupied in resigning the great coast and inland routes between Los Angeles and San Francisco, which is of the utmost importance to the 800,000 automobile owners of California as well as the 100,000 visiting parties now in the state for the vacation period. Work has also started on the signposting of the inland highway between San Diego and Los Angeles. At the same time operations have commenced in re-marking the roads through the entire Big Bear country. In Arizona, the Auto club is sign-posting the road from Sentinel to Phoenix and Tucson, which is of the utmost importance to travelers throughout the entire southwest. In fact, five trucks are now operating for the club on the highways of the United States, making the routes safe for motorists. All tributaries of the Santa Fe Trail will also be resigned. Everyday Performance, What Counts; Dunton "Spectacular records of stunt performance by automobile models in the hands of experts are interesting, but most often only interesting." George Dunton, Ford, Fordson and Lincoln distributor. "It is much more vital to know how a car serves the man who drives it today by day on business." Closed Car Declared Best on Long Tour Bringing limousine comfort and protection within reach of the average citizen and giving them a range equal to that of a touring car, is the double problem automobile engineers and body builders are successfully solving. From the coddled darling of the boulevards, the enclosed car has become the familiar acquaintance of country highways and byways. W. C. Asay, well-known Chicago attorney and law partner of ex-Senator Lewis, is one of the owner-drivers who has put touring cars behind him and makes all his shorter business and pleasure journeys in an enclosed car. Reviewing his experiences in five months of early season driving, he was outspoken in his approval of recent developments in the latter type of car. "I have owed and worn out two high-priced touring cars," he said, "but for economy and comfort, the broughtham I'm driving now is beyond comparison with either. It has covered 3,000 miles already and I've yet to find the road or hill on which it will not do everything that my former cars would do. Driving from Chicago to Jackson, recently, I made 216 miles in ten hours on ten gallons of gas. Took the wrong route between Gary and Michigan City, Ind., so and encountered very bad roads. "I've come to expect that kind of economy and reliability. But, I'm really enthusiastic about it because of the convenience and protection it gives. My trip to Jackson for instance, was made on a very hot day. With the windows all open, however, we were as comfortable as in any touring car. When we ran into two or three dust squalls on the way, up went the windows in two minutes and we sailed through without any discomfort. "That ability to change from an open car to a closed carriage in a couple of minutes is a great advantage. Not long ago up in Wisconsin, we ran into a sudden wind and rain storm. We were snug and safe in a jiffy, without slackening our pace. Yet we passed at least twenty touring cars in the next ten minutes whose drivers were battling with their curtains."

George Dunton, Ford, Fordson and Lincoln distributor. "It is much more vital to know how a car serves the man who drives it day by day on business and pleasure trips. We like best to show that a large number of regular every-day citizens in all classes of life and occupation are getting continuously satisfactory service out of our cars. "A long list of men, women and children who are getting daily satisfaction and recreation out of the cars we sell is the best asset in this business, as we see it, and everybody in this organization is thinking along these lines."

These drivers, appearing in the same struggle at Fresno, will put up an equally bitter fight. In Los Angeles, the others, aided by the new Durant cars, will furnish exhibitions of driving that are rare in automobile racing history. These events will mean thrill; and more. They eventually will see more changes in automobiles that you will drive, but only after each experiment has been thoroughly tried and tested in events that spare neither-man nor car, on the speedway. If for only that one reason, the public should watch with interest at every happening concerning the sport: it is vitally concerned in the life of car and driver because the great majority of American people ride in motor cars. Hudson Co. One of First to Cut Prices The Hudson Motor car Co. can lay claim to a considerable share of the credit in inaugurating a price cutting campaign, observed H. L. Grove, of Townsend Medbury, distributors of the Hudson and Essex. By way of illustration Grove pointed to the new Hudson sedan, which, in spite of the new and improved motor, which gives the Hudson more power, lower mileage and more speed than any of its predecessors, to say nothing of many refinements of one sort and another, is offered at $2665, compared with $3050 for the previous car of the same model. A wonderful combination of mechanical excellence and beauty is this new sedan, according to local prospects who accompanied Grove to Los Angeles to see the first examples of it that arrived at Harold Arnold's. The Fisher body is all that is claimed for it, perhaps, remarked one man, but the Biddle-Smart body, the first one of which appears on this new sedan, is if anything an improvement. Chevrolet Preserves Both Tires and Motor One of the sources of economy of the Chevrolet, observes O. E. Dinnis, branch manager of the Frank M. Taggart Company, is the way in which it spares tires. Many of these cars hold up as reliably after five years' service as ever before and the tires along with them. Such a car is the 1917 model Chevrolet "Four-Ninety" be longing to Jesse H. Miller, 611 Griffin St., Danville, Ill. This Chevrolet, after traveling 52,000 miles, can still climb hills on high that more expensive six-cylinder cars must take on second. Since leaving the factory only three sets of tires have been necessary—making an average of 17.667 miles to the set. When speed is necessary, Mr. Miller says that "he can get 63 miles per hour," which by the way, is traveling rapidly; or else, going to the other extreme, he can idle down to 3 miles per hour—flexibility to satisfy the desires of any motorist, and at a cost most economical. Mexico Is Buying Thousands of Fords According to a report from the Houston, Texas, branch of the Ford Motor Co., export business to Mexico is showing considerable improvement. The report states, "business has picked up to a great extent in the republic of Mexico and, during a recent month, we shipped 514 cars to our Mexican Dealers. The beauty of this particular business was that these shipments were made up in carload lots of 15 to the shipment, rather than in trainloads of 250 to 400 cars, such as were made last year when business was at its best. However, it is believed by the Houston branch that as soon as conditions become normal in Mexico, that resumption of solid trainload shipments will be recorded, which, of course, go to the larger dealers. Many of the consignments to Mexican were made to new dealers." MONTE CRISTO AT CALIFORNIA THEATRE Have you ever heard of Monte Cristo? There are few people in these United States, or even elsewhere, who haven't read Alexandre Dumas' gripping story of "The Count of Monte Cristo." In fact it is numbered among the world's most read books. Now that it has been filmed into a cinematic masterpiece, its advent upon the screen is being looked forward to with very much interest. This great picture opens at the California theater Monday for a three day run, and a huge turnout is anticipated by the management. The same picture played to capacity business for five consecutive weeks at the beautiful Mission theater in Los Angeles, and has also had long runs elsewhere. This absorbing tale, embodying and bringing to life the great characters A wonderful combination of mechanical excellence and beauty is this new sedan, according to local prospects who accompanied Grove to Los Angeles to see the first examples of it that arrived at Harold Arnold's. The Fisher body is all that is claimed for it, perhaps, remarked one man, but the Biddle-Smart body, the first one of which appears on this new sedan, is if anything an improvement. The BiddleSmart body works located in Massachusetts, was purchased by the Hudson Motor Car Co., which hereafter will get all or practically all of its bodies from this new source.

The Reliable Tire Company still has some of them in the Para-Bell, guaranteed for 10,000 minimum and selling at $16.70. The company's supply of tires and tubes has been considerably diminished by the sale of the past week or two, when a tube was given free with each cord and sold at $1.00 with each fabric. In addition to the Para-Bell non-skid cord and non-skid fabric, the company handles the Apex cord, guaranteed for 7,000 miles and selling at $11.25 for the 30-by 3½-and at higher prices for the larger sizes.

HUPP MOTOR ADDITION In accordance with a building program adopted some three years ago, the Hupp Motor Car corporation is now adding new construction to its big plant on East Milwaukee ave., in Detroit which will increase the factory floor space by more than a half a million square feet. Completion of the new buildings now under process of erection will give the Hupmomobile main plant a total floor space of not less than 1,570,000 square feet with as modern equipment and building design, it is said, as can be found in the industry. In China all land belongs to the state, and a trifling sum per acre, scarcely altered through long centuries, is paid as rent.

Houser. "Thirty-seven defendants, most of them acknowledged knights of the 'invisible empire,' faced the court, charged with participation in the notorious Inglewood rad in which one man was killed and two others wounded. "United we stand, divided we fall," appeared to be the slogan of the 37 defendants, whose demeanor indicated that whatever differences, which rent the klan as a result of the Inglewood raid, had been forgotten in the face of a common accusation. It was noticed that the defendants appeared to be in a jolly mood and were all on friendly terms.
