Saturday, June 23, 1923. MILLION FORDSONS, FORDS BY JULY 15 Sales of Ford cars and trucks in the United States for the month of May totalled 171,306, according to a report just issued by the Ford Motor Co., received by Sid McGraw, the Ford, Fordson and Lincoln distributor. The May sales were more than 5,500 greater than those of April, due to increased output. Production has been the only limiting factor in the sales of Ford cars and trucks since January, for all times orders on hand have been in excess of the manufacturing capacity of the company, great as it is. The high production schedule has been in effect the last few months, however, permitted May to show a gain of 44,243 retail deliveries over the corresponding month of last year, and it marks the 14th consecutive month in which sales have gone over 100,000. May deliveries bring the total Ford sales in this country up to 732,850 cars and trucks for the five months from January 1 to June 1, an increase of 322,005 over the same months a year ago, and a record-breaking sales figure. Under the constantly growing demand, Ford sales for the present year will pass the million mark in July, a figure which would already have been attained had it been possible for the company to bring production up to orders. CHANGE BOARDING HOUSE REDDING, June 23.—Because of a shortage of honeyladen flowers in Southern California, three carloads of bees, totalling 10000 hives, have been shipped from Los Angeles to Codora, near here, to feed on Glenn county clover. The bees will be returned to the Southern part of the State after feeding here for the summer. Business of Local Shop Growing Fast Illustrating the way in which the Automotive Electrie Co., has grown, George H. Ennis now is employing four men compared with the one man with which he started. The magneto works alone is keeping one man busy. The charging set of the concern is working day and night, says Ennis and its capacity is 50 batteries. So far this month, Ennis says, he has averaged one new car per day day. The company takes care of the battery and electrical equipment of the Chevrolet, Durant and Star, Hupmobile, Dodge, Buick, Cadillac, Reo, Franklin and Nah. NEW TIRE MAKING METHODS NOW USED Many improvements now are being embodied in the United States tires, says Charlie Mann, authorized distributor in Anaheim. For example: Sprayed rubber—the first actually pure rubber used in cord tires; the new web cord, which is minus the tie threads that saw the cord into; the new flat band method of tire construction, to ensure equal angles, equal lengths, equal tension and equal service in all the cords of the tires. The cord tires are immersed in latex liquid, which penetrates to every part of the cord. A film of natural rubber is used to web the cords together. Hardly less necessary for the camper and driver on long trips are good spotlights, trouble lenses with extension cords, campers, oil cans, Boyce motometers, and tire patches. Mann carries a complete line of campers' and tourists' accessories. FAKE CHEESE BATTERY There are no chemicals on the of which, the matter can be charged time than the Bevillard of the Depot.

Bevillard of the Anaheim Ignition Depot. Bevillard warns his many patrons, and the public in general for that matter to avoid such fluids. He also reminds people that it is better to put water into the battery more frequently than to fill it at one time. In recharging a battery, direct current must be passed through the cells in a direction opposite to that of the discharge, he declares. During this period, the lead sulphate on the positive plate is reconverted into lead peroxide, and the lead sulphate on the negative plate is reconverted into sponge lead. The electrolyte gradually increases in density and at the end of the charge will be of the same strength as before the discharge. The Willard Storage Battery of Cleveland, together with most other nationally known storage battery manufacturers, have always urged that no other substances of any kind be placed in a lead sulphuric acid battery. The proper chemicals have been placed in these batteries by authorised service stations. None of these chemicals are lost through use or evaporation and nothing but distilled water should be added by their users.

A battery can do it; but it shortens its life. Frequent starts and short runs at low speed use up current faster than the generator can renew it. Moving a car on power from the battery, which is sometimes done in garages and in changing positions while parked. Using headlights while car is standing also in use of lamps and spotlights of very high candle power. Not turning off ignition switch on battery and lamps when putting car up for the night. There may be several reasons why your engine does not start promptly—ignition switch my be turned off—engine may not be sufficiently “primed”—radiator may need water, etc. Investigate before using starter again. Stop at the nearest Prest-O-Lite Service Station for inspection; as soon as a battery begins to “kick” or show any signs of wear. RILEY WIRES FROM ROTARY CONVENTION A telegram from Harry D.

Vesper of the Vesper-Bulck Co., Chicago, on “Obligations of a Dealer.” The Los Angeles Assn.’ was in charge of the meeting. General Manager Vane declared in his speech: “The automobile dealers of the United States have lost the confidence of the buying public through lack of policy, carelessness and in some cases downright dishonesty.” “In one city the dealers had mortgaged and remortgaged cars to the extent that a buyer had to take a lawyer with him to find out if the dealer could legally sell the car.” “Last year the dealers of the country lost $100,000,000 on used cars because they didn’t understand their business.” “I never heard of a dealer going broke on new cars, but any number of them do so on used cars.” “They sold $3,000,000,000 worth of merchandise last month and less than 10 per cent of the men in the business made a profit.” “If a car was a lemon when it was new it’s sure to be a cheese when it’s old.” “The greatest menace to the business is the ‘fly-by-might’ dealer who comes in in the spring and goes out in the fall.” “The business outlook for 1923 is mighty good for good autos and good dealers.” COP FINDS BOOZE TAP IN BATH TUB (By International News Service) Some unique camp belts are being offered to the public by W.

PAY BIG PRICES FOR JAPANESE CURIOS (By International News Service) TOKIO, June 23 — Some idea of the advance in the prices of curios in Japan came recently when it was announced, in Tokio, that hanging scrolls purchased 15 years ago for 8,200 yen ($4100), had been sold for 145,900 yen ($72,950).

BROAD FIRE LINES PROTECT WATERSHED (By International News Service) SACRAMENTO, June 23.—Autoists passing through Ukiah, Mendocino-co., have probably wondered at the white strips following the crests of some of the distant brush covered mountains to the east. The strips, according to the State Board of Forestry, are fire lines one hundred feet in width, which have been cut through the dense brush for a distance of seven miles. They completely encircle the watershed area, upon which the Mendocino State Hospital at Talmage is dependent for its water supply, and provide a means whereby fires that threaten this valuable watershed may be checked. The fire breaks were made by inmates of the Mendocino state hospital, who camped for months in the canyon. Over seven thousand acres of steep, brushy mountain land are enriched by a cleared strip which can be seen for miles around. From this strip a successful battle can be waged against any fires that come from the back country.
