The way in which all the exhibitors co-operated under the auspices of the Orange County Motor Car Dealers' Assn.' to make the auto show a success was a big factor in the big exhibition as a whole. Seven cars were reported sold by Hauser & Merrit of the local brance of Frank P. Taggart Co. The super include four sedans, a blue sport, a coupe and two touring cars. The sport is one of the most attractive shown in the show. Harry D. Riley sold these Studebakers: Light six touring cars to Frank Busch and H. H. Nivelle of Anaheim, and M. A.

In spite of the fact that this carburetor is stock equipment on the Willys-Knight, Overland, Durant and Star, there are many owners who know little about it apparently, says George H. Ennis of the Automotive Electric Co., local distributors. The factory also produces thousands of replacement carburetors for various popular priced cars. The total production now is nearing the 1,000,000 mark. In the latest model, there is a new and improved non-air valve which gives an increased air velocity past the nozzle, instead of just an increased vacuum, to accompany any increase in fuel feed. The carburetor regulates the flow of gasoline and a precise mixture of gas and air are highly important in the successful operation of a car, says Ennis. CHERRY I Cherry Day will be Yucalpa tomorrow.

The mahogany in the large variety of sets shown WATCH YOUR GAS ON MOUNTAIN TRIPS So many motorists are either taking trips or planning trips into the higher altitudes of this part of the state and even to the national parks that the Auto club of So. Calif in conjunction with the Department of the Interior, has decided to issue some information of pertinent interest to all such travellers. On roads passing through an altitude of from 2000 to 11,000 feet the propelling power of motor cars points out the Auto club, is generally reduced. A leaner mixture of gasoline and air is consequently required in such instances and on account of reduced engine power sometimes almost 50 per cent more gasoline will be used per mile than at the many sea level altitudes of So. Calif. Motorists will often find that it will be necessary at the higher altitudes in the vicinity of 3000 feet that a lower gear will generally have to be used on grade than would be used in other places, points out the Club touring bureau. If you stop on the grade and block your wheel with large rocks be sure that you take the rocks out of the road when you go. ask club officials, as other cars coming down the grade and hitting these rocks are in danger of being thrown over the side of the road as a result. TEN TUBE, TIRE CHERRY DAY Cherry Day will be held in Yucalpa tomorrow, Sunday, June 3rd, and the usual large attendance of autoists is expected. Mr. G. W. Waterbury, who owns an apple and cherry orchard on Colorado street, says the crop is light this year, but the quality good. He started his pickers today and expects to have them working steadily during the next week. The road through Redlands is in excellent shape.

So far this year three and one half carloads of these snubbers have been purchased in So. Calif., with 2500 sets of four to each carload, and three more carloads have been ordered to arrive within three weeks.

The plant of the Herald Printing Company, which occupied a part of the theater building, was slightly damaged. Show Multiplies Bevillard Prospects With practically only goods to show, A. Bevillard of the Anaheim Ignition Depot had an exhibit at the Orange show which was elegant and striking in every way. The mahogany in the large variety of sets shown and the mahogany pedestals on which they appeared gave a decidedly rich impression to prospects. Samples of the short wave, intermediate and universal were included among the sets, which were of several makes. There were scores of inquiries and any number of prospects were obtained. LINCOLN WINNER IN QUICK GET-AWAY In a series of three tests for speed and quick getaway conducted by the Detroit Department of Police on Oakland Boulevard at Dearborn' Mich., May 17 first place among the field of ten competitors was awarded to the Lincoln, says George Dunton, Ford, Fordson and Lincoln distributors. The tests were made in an effort of the police department to secure a "flying squadron" of motor cars to enlist in the campaign against robberies and other crimes of the road. Quick starting from a dead stop, rapid acceleration over long and short distances, and the ease with which the cars could be handled in any emergency, demanding immediate ability to get going at race-track speed were covered in quarter mile, half mile and two mile tests, two of which were made from standing starts. A large gathering of city officials, engineers from representative automobile plants- and many spectators were present. Official clocking of the speed was made by stop watches held by the official referee and by judges in the cars, and cars were also timed and speedometer readings checked by members of the Detroit motor cycle squad. The tests called for stock touring cars carrying six passengers each. In the two mile standing start quick acceleration test, the Lincoln finished first, covering the distance in one minute 49:2-5 seconds, attaining a speed of 80 miles an hour. The next nearest competitor covered the distance in one minute 57:2-5 seconds. The slowest time recorded was two minutes, 23 seconds, finishing at a speed of 62 miles per hour. In the half-mile test, the Lincoln again taking first honors, covered the distance in 38-2-5 seconds, and finished at speed of 73 miles an hour. TEN TUBE, TIRE WINNERS ANNOUNCED The Brunswick Tire booth of Daniels and Williams of Anaheim and Lawrence Muckenthaler of Santa Ana the focus of interested groups of people during the show, gave away a free Brunswick casing on Wednesday night, the closing night of the show.

The nearest competitor covered the distance in 39:1-5 seconds. The quarter-mile test was made from a running start of five miles an hour in intermediate gear.

HUPP 1923 OUTPUT TO BE 40,000 CARS The Hupp Motor Car Corporation, through its large manufacturing facilities in Detroit and Jackson, Mich., Racine, WI., and Windsor, Ont., enjoys as great a control over the products that enter its completed cars as any other automobile concern in the country, says the Cadillac Garage Co., local distributors. Hupp also provides its 5000 employees with an unusually large manufacturing space in comparison to output. Forty thousand Hupmobiles are scheduled to be produced this year from plants whose total floor space is 2,850,000 square feet. The advantages of such control and large manufacturing facilities are many. Employees at all time are given plenty of leeway in performing their work. There is no rushing through certain operations with the possibility of having them improperly done. There is no slackening of rigid inspection in times of abnormal demand. Engineers are entirely free from the limitations they might meet if they were depended on; for some vital parts, on outside manufacturing sources. Because it is one of the largest buyers in the industry, prices quoted to the corporation are as low as any manufacturer in the entire field can buy. TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR 65,000 CARS FOUR MONTHS OUTPUT DURANT FACTORIES Production of 65,235 cars during the first four months of this year is announced by the Durant plants and 124,300 cars since the plants threw open their doors or in the 10-month period to May 1. April output alone amounted to 21,095 acts. The Durant enterprises employ 48,628 persons in 77 different cities, 10 of which are working on Durant products exclusively. ESSEX CONQUERS NEW GORGE ROAD Many Essex cars that have gone over 30,000 miles are doing exceptional service in the hands of their original owners, and almost every week brings new evidence that the older Essex gets the better it performs. The latest testimonial to that effect in a letter to Townsend and Medbury, local Hudson and Essex dealers, from P. N. Myers, clerk and recorder of the city of Calipatria. "The car has now gone 35,660 miles," said Myers, "and it has always brought me home and many times against adverse conditions of weather and roads as ever prevail in the desert country. The sturdiness and reliability of the Essex is a continuing marvel, even to me. I have just returned. PROSECUTE PICKERS OF YUCCA Serious consideration, for the first time in history, is being given to motorists who persist in hacking down the great yucca blooms which dot the hills of this part of the state. Some counties, point out officials of the Automobile club of So. Calif, have passed laws making it a misdemeanor to cut the yucca blooms, and other counties are rapidly following the idea with similar protective measures. Seventeen autoists were arrested recently near Palmdale in Los Angeles county for picking the yucca, and other arrests are threatened in various southern counties. The yucca bloom is indigenous and typical of So. Calif, with its gigantic wax-like blossoms. The yucca in most cases forms a part of the protection of the watershed on some of the dryer hill section of the State and for that reason the destruction of the seeds contained in the blossoms is considered somewhat of a menace to the watershed protection. But mois important of all, say officials of the Auto club, is the fact that the yucca offer a sight to eastern motorists which can be found in no other part of the United weeks brings new evidence that the older Essex gets the better iter-forms. The latest testimonial to that effect in a letter to Townsend and Medbery, local Hudson and Essex dealers, from P. N. Myers, clerk and recorder of the city of Calipatria. "The car has now gone 35,660 miles," said Myers, "and it has always brought me home and many times against adverse conditions of weather and roads as ever prevail in the desert country. The sturdiness and reliability of the Essex is a continuing marvel, even to me. I have just returned from a two-day trip to Julian, in San Diego county, going out by way of San Felipe Canyon, the new Sentenac Gorge Road just opened and the old Banner grade. This road is very rough and sandy in spots, especially in San Diego-co, before reaching the Narrows where the road leads into the canyon. The old Banner grade is famous for its roughness and stepness, rising about 1700 feet in 3 miles. "On the return trip we branched off to the northeast at the Narrows, and headed into Borrego Valley, going to the end of the road at the foot of Coyote Creek Canyon, thru which led, a century and a half ago, the old trail of the padres and the Spanish Conquistadores on the long route from Sonora Mexico, to San Gabriel and Monterey. Here we encountered short, steep inclines and cross-washed desert road which defied the driver to proceed faster than eight to ten miles an hour (unless he was intent on breaking his car and neck, too) and then the sand." The yucca bloom is indigenous and typical of So. Calif., with it gigantic wax-like blossoms. The yucca in most cases forms a part of the protection of the watershed on some of the dryer hill section of the State and for that reason the destruction of the seeds contained in the blossoms is considered somewhat of a menace to the watershed protection. But mois important of all, say officials of the Auto club, is the fact that the yucca offer a sight to eastern motorists which can be found in no other part of the United States, and for that reason it is most important that they be preserved as an attraction for tourists here about. Hundreds of letters have been received by the Auto club from nature lovers throughout America asking that some action be taken to stop thoughtless motorist from taking home the big blossoms and the club today points out that these blossoms wilt and die as soon as they are plucked and are of no earthly use once they are taken from their natural haunts, as they will not last over night. 3 DIE IN CRASH WOONSOCKETT, R. I., June 2. Three men were killed early today when an automobile in which they were riding at high speed, crashed into an electric car. James Thibault, 25, of Woonsocket was killed almost instantly.
