"Merit Explains Why Westinghouse Leads" There is nothing intricate, complicated, or difficult about a storage battery, says a statement received by L. H. McGee, local distributor. The Westinghouse Battery has won its present commanding position by sheer merit in the face of extensive competition. It possesses refinements of detail in design and construction that lift it out of the general run. THE rubber-tired tenderfoot can now traverse the vast stretches of these United States without a sextant or a compass, and be sure of getting home if the gas holds out. The trails have been blazed, and the man who is fortunate enough to possess anything from a cycle car to a limousine can hit the trail to the place his fancy leads, and go by the best and shortest possible route. Most historic of all the new system of national highways is the National Old Trails Road, 3050 miles from Washington, D.C. to Los Angeles. It is the all-weather route from the nation's capital to the capital of the bathing-beauty belt. The trail marker, fittingly enough, is a red white and blue rectangle displayed at convergence and at every intersections with the tourist from Baltimore along Bridgway and the National highway which thrashed through central of young Col. W. the Indian War; to way of Wheeling; Indianapolis. From Kannas City the trail historic Boone's Lift opens on the plano blood and sand.

H. McGee, local distributor. The Westinghouse Battery has won its present commanding position by sheer merit in the face of extensive competition. It possesses refinements of detail in design and construction that lift it out of the general run and into the position of leadership. The Westinghouse Air Brake Company and its many subsidiary interests have for over fifty years enjoyed a career of steady progress because they have always stood for the things that compel leadership: 1. Perfected manufacturing processes. 2. Master workmanship. 3. Uncompromising quality. 4. Minute inspection. 5. Scientific research. 6. Honorable dealing. 7. Service. The first entry for next year's Indianapolis race is a 91 inch racer built by Harry Miller of Los Angeles. Present indications point to its being driven by Jimmy Murphy. Before You Start Touring be sure your battery is in good shape, or you may find yourself stalled 10 miles from nowhere. And whether you're going touring or not, this is the kind of weather that calls for regular attention to your battery to be sure it's on the job. A. Bevillard, Sole Owner Anaheim Ignition Depot RAILWAYS BUY REO SPEED WAGON "As a matter of self-preservation electric and steam line operators must come to the gas motorbus." This is the forecast of branch manager Cromer of Dale and company, for the national transportation field. Cromer believes that the day is not far distant when every steam line in the country will operate motor buses on stub lines or "tappers." The electric railways in cities will build but few more tracks but will establish feeder lines, using motor busses just as is already being done by the traction companies of our larger cities. "The Canadian Railways, as an illustration of what steam lines are doing to reduce cost of operation and increase service to the public, now operate twelve motor coaches which are practically Reo speed wagons with long passenger bodies." "The twelve outfits are being used by the Canadian National Railways on short lines heretofore costly propositions, but necessary. One train, an instance, was losing $5000 annually. This same run is now being made with net earnings of $1000 a month." "Some time ago the Reo Motor Car company outfitted the Augusta Northern Railroad Company with a speed wagon passenger car. The Augusta Northern, while somewhat pretentious as to name, is but 12 I-2 miles long. This line connects Saluda, with Ward, S.C." "Before the Speed Wagon outfit was placed on the job the line was a losing proposition for the company. The locomotive used five tons of coal for the round trip."

Washington and the Indian Wars, to St. Louis by way of Wheeling, Columbus, and Indianapolis. From St. Louis to Kansas City the trail follows the historic Boone's Lick Road, then opens on the pioneer's route of blood and sand, the Santa Fe Trail. Westward of Santa Fe is the Grand Canyon Route to the orange groves—the path of the Spanish conquistadores and the indomitable padraea. East and West, the National Old Trails Road traverses thirteen states and ninety counties. It is a route rich in historic interest from terminus to terminus, and penetrates what many consider the world's grandest scenic region. The road is hard surfaced from Washington to Terre Hante, and in sections beyond Terre Haute. Most of the highway through the Southwest has a dragged dirt surface, good in dry weather—and this is dry weather country. Excellent hotel accommodations are to be had at the natural night stops for the entire distance. By means of the official auto trails maps, which are the keys to the national system of marked highways and to the conditions to be encountered along these highways, a coast-to-coast trip over the National Old Trails Road is not only practicable for the average tourist, but can be made with ease and assurance, combining maximum pleasure with minimum difficulty. GRAHAM TRUCK IN GRUELLING TEST An exacting test, calling for an even more exceptional feat of power and endurance than the now famous Lick Kurn Hill test, which resulted in a sale of five trucks to the State of Ohio, influenced the Southern Sierras Power Company of Redlands, California, to buy four Graham Brothers Trucks and standardize on this equipment for its most important service work, says Charley Mann, Dodge and Graham truck distributor. This company has always considered it necessary to patrol its high power electric line between Indio and Whitewater in the Colorado desert, with light wagons drawn by mules. This was not satisfactory, however, as it took the mules too long to reach the scene of the trouble, which, when causing a shut-down on this power line, cost the company one thousand dollars an hour. For months the company tried unsuccessfully to obtain some type of motor vehicle to patrol this section, but found none which could negotiate the sand and had the stamina to stand up under the terrific grind. Many trucks had been tested but no two-wheel drive vehicle had ever made any appreciable progress. Company officials learned of the unusual power of Graham Brothers Truck and invited the Dodge Brothers dealer in Redlands to submit one to the desert test. The route lay straight through the drifting sands for admittance of 32 miles. So violent is the combined effect of the wind and sand throughout this region that the power line poles are bound with sheet metal to prevent their being cut to pieces. Loaded with sand bags weighing 1,200 pounds, Graham Brothers truck began what outliders regarded as a hopeless undertaking. The wheels embedded themselves hub-deep in the loose sand—but they pulled! Churning up great clouds of sand spray, the truck advanced steadily over the bottomless waste. After eight hours the trip was finished. It was a dem- WHO KNOWS WHICH IS MOTHER TO OTHER NEW YORK, July 14.—Whether Mrs. Wilhelm Becker is her husband's mother or his sister or his wife—or what relation she is to Wilhelm, Sr. is what the city clerk McCormick was trying to figure out today. McCormick issued licenses to wed the two Wilhelms and acted as a witness at their weddings. Wilhelm Sr., took Hendricka Stepania Oving, just arrived from Holland, for his bride. Wilhelm Jr., at the same time married Leonara Wilhelmina Breedbach, who a short time ago was divorced from Wilhelm, Sr. "Now that makes Mrs. Wilhelm Jr., the daughter in law of Wilhelm, Sr., and at the same time the stepmother of her own husband and a step sister to the bride who took her place," McCormick argues, adding, "figure it out for yourself."

"NON-STOP” HUP TO GO 100,000 MILES The famous standard stock Hupmobile touring car, which broke all non-stop world's records last summer and fall by traveling 26,165 miles in 58 consecutive days without stopping the engine, has a new job, says an announcement received by the Cadillac Garage Co. Owners of the car—the Hyland Motor Co. of Salt Lake City, Hupmobile distributors for Utah and Idaho—plan to run it 100,000 miles to establish definitively its dependability in long and hard service, and to demonstrate that the gruelling trip it made through the inter-mountain regions of Utah Idaho and Wyoming did no harm to it. It is probable that a second long run will also be started by the famous car before the end of summer, officials of the company say. At the close of its record run last October, Prof. A. L. Taylor of the University of Utah automotive department had it torn down and inspected all parts thoroughly. In a signed statement he paid tribute to its splendid condition and the slight wear to its various moving parts. The car, at that time had traveled 33,000 miles, 6000 having been made before the tear started. The idea of the run was to duplicate as nearly as possible in a short time driving conditions encountered by the average motorist. Gasoline average was 21.5 miles per gallon and oil consumption one quart for each 328 miles, according to sworn affidavits. Tampa is the "tin can tourist capital of Florida with a tent city of more than 400 motor cars and their 2300 owners and tourists. The camp is subdivided into a city of 12 streets. A newspaper not a thousand miles from here says: Mr. Horn, a reformed columnist, was the speaker at Thursday's meeting of the Rotary club." For the sake of all concerned, including Mr. Horn, let it be hoped the paper meant "communist." SIX REALTY BOARDS TO FORM CO. GROUP Organization of a joint County Realty Board, comprising all of the six boards of the county, will be one of the features of the meeting and barbecue being held today at Orange County Park. The County Board or Association of Boards is declared by President A. E. Hargrove to be the only one in the state to be started. Hargrove now is working on the constitution and by-laws. The principal object of the organization will be to obtain action in concert on matters of county-wide interest of concern to realtors. Orange-realtors first got together in a county-wide movement in preparation for the Orange Show when they launched a very successful exhibit. The meeting will precede the feasting, which won't begin until evening. After the gathering, there will be stunts, sports and a baseball game. It will be a stag affair and there will be no dancing. Between 150 and 200 realtors are expected. This is the first annual picnic of the realtors of the county. The larger the diamond the greater the probability that it's paste.

JENSEN DISTRIBUTORS OF RADIOLA, FEDERAL-CROSKY 242 E. Center Street Anaheim, Calif. Payne Tells How He Won That Sweepstakes How Bill Payne of Harry D. Riley's Studebaker garage won the Studebaker sweepstakes in the economy run to Huntington Lake in the High Sierras is a story better worth hearing than reading. Bill figured out exactly what he was going to do in advance and stuck to it. Riley's Studebaker big six touring, which had a record of 86,000 miles behind it, was examined with the view of reducing friction to the utmost. Careful measurements were taken to determine the precise speed at which it was advisable to travel. Payne doped it out that 27 miles per hour was the ideal speed. On the grades, however, he kept down of course, and never ventured to go more than 18 miles an hour in high. In all the 886.2 miles he didn't take on a bit of oil or water. His tires which were 33 by 4-1-2, he kept at 110 pounds. The way was over the Ridge Route. At Fresno, to which point Payne also led his division, the Angelenos and San Francisco, united and left the boulevard, driving to Clovis, to Tollhouse, to Casacada and finally to Huntington Lake. On the way back Payne used his brakes to the limit and drove as fast as he safely could. For it was a time and reliability as well as economy contest. On the basis of 1000 as a perfect score, one point was taken out for every minute lost while stopping except at the times appointed for meals, etc. Extra water, air, oil or gas meant a poorer record. The trip was wonderful scenically, and Payne says the panoramas especially surpassed anything he ever saw. The Riley car won in its own class, the big six, as well as all other classes. RADIOLA II IDEAL CAMP RADIO OUTFIT Portability, grave and efficiency are combined in the Radiola II, says Robert V. Jensen, local distributor of this, the Prest-o-Lite battery. Rayfield carburetor and other products. Light, compact, completely enclosed. Radiola II is the perfect set for use in camp, on motor boat or while touring. Handsome, beautifully finished, and self-contained it is also at home in any living room or parlor. Because of its sensitivity and selectivity, Radiola II may be installed anywhere and will bring in scores of distant stations every evening. The feature which makes this set entirely self-contained and portable is the use of the newly developed Radiotron UV-109. Since the filament of this tube draws but .06 (six-hundredths) ampere, it is possible to utilize dry batteries small enough to be incorporated in the cabinet. The apparatus in Radiola II consists of a highly efficient regenerative tuner with vernier control of wavelength adjustment, a vacuum tube detector and one stage of audio frequency amplification, which is sufficient amplification to actuate a loud speaker on nearby stations. Two telephone jacks are provided so that the head telephones may be plugged into either the detector or the ampifier.
