HARDEST OF TRIPS DON'T PHASE STAR Makers of the popular-priced product of Durant Motors, Inc., are pointing with pride to the record made by Star car No. 15, after 30,000 miles of hard use. The 15th car to be built by the Star Motor Co. of California was sold to Johnson, of the De Vaux Motor Co., of Fresno. It was delivered to him at Oakland. Johnson states that he "drove it to Fresno without preliminary limbing up, in less than six hours, and that the car was perfectly cool upon arrival, water not having been replenished." "Since then she has gone above 20,000 miles, all over the state, in fact, having made such trips as Fresno to Huntington Lake via Northfork, Fresno to Gen. Grant park, Fresno to Sequoia National park, and Fresno to San Diego. This last run was made in high for the round trip, and made a particularly low showing of gas and oil, averaging 321-2 miles to the gallon of the former and consuming 11-2 quarts of the latter."

Turton. Anaheim Oakland dealer. "Two years of hard work by the foremost engineers of the Oakland Motor Car Co. are responsible for the achievement that has been attained in this remarkable motor. "A new type of combustion chamber known as the Ricardo type, accomplishes many things that have been the course of common complaint with the use of the present use of heavier grades of fuel in internal combustion motors. "These heavier grades of fuel have different characteristics in burning than the lighter fuels of yesterday. One of the most serious obstacles that had to be overcome was the tendency to knock. "Oakland engineers through a series of complex experiments, discovered that by creating a churning or turbulence of the gases in the combustion chamber, the tendency for detonation to occur was greatly decreased. In the new Oakland motor this effect has been obtained by a special shape of the space over the piston. This is known as the Ricardo type and is best adapted to the L-head motor. "With the use of the Ricardo combustion chamber, higher compression is possible, giving greater power per cubic inch of piston displacement. In the new Oakland the L-head motor with this type of combustion chamber has been developed" Have Your Headlights Tested NOW Have Your Headlights Tested NOW THE LAW REQUIRES THAT EVERY MOTORIST MUST CARRY AN OFFICIAL CERTIFICATE ISSUED BY A STATE OFFICIAL HEADLIGHT ADJUSTING STATION. —We are equipped to handle three cars at a time.

W. Townsend, Inc., local Essex dealer. In addition to the Penrose trophy, Shultz pocketed a $500 prize awarded him as winner of class 1. This class is limited to cars of 183 inches or less of piston displacement and a weight of more than 1600 pounds. The Essex covered the 12 miles 2200 feet in less time than any other car in the race, and came within 22.9 seconds of equaling the record for the course set by Ralph Mulford in a Hudson Super-Six in 1916. Shultz' time was 18 minutes 27.3-5 seconds, the next best time being 19:21.2-5. The course was in fine shape, and the crowd, numbering over 5000, was pitched to the highest point of excitement. The Essex went into "Bottomless Pit" travelling at the rate of 67 miles per hour and came out at 50. It was one of the most daring exhibitions of skill over witnessed. When it is considered that the average grade is 7 per cent and at times runs up to 10-1.2 per cent, some idea of the strain on the motor and chassis may be bad. Taking turns on two wheels and skidding to within a few inches of the edge of the road overlooking 2000 feet of sheer drop, are incidents experienced by the successful driver. From the watering tank, the course is all "up hill," and rises from an elevation of 9500 feet to 14,109 feet above sea level. This is a total vertical distance of 4600 feet, which puts more of a strain on the car in 18 minutes than is experienced in months of ordinary touring by the average car.

H. McCarty, general sales manager of the Nash Motors Co., is supplemented by the statement that following the announcement of the new Nash models early in August, demand has been far in excess of production. "As a matter of fact," said McCarty, "the factory was oversold in August 1000 cars, and will be over sold to a greater extent in September. August eclipsed July in point of sales, a condition that is unusual." "The new Nash models in both the four and six-cylinder lines met instant approval on the part of the buying public. Embodying many improvements and refinements and at no increase over previous prices, these new cars are establishing for Nash Motors a new record in public demand and volume of sales." "Reports received by us from dealers in the various states and county fairs held throughout the country since August I., tell of public interest in the Nash line. This interest is confined to no particular sections of the country, but is a condition that is general." "Every indication points to a concluding the transposition of a number of manufacturing departments nearing completion at the Lincoln plant division of the Ford Motor form an interesting insight on efficiency methods of the organization. When a manufacturing plant carrying on a heavy production, a matter of considerable difficulty move a large portion of machinery from one place to another. Yet is just what is being done at Lincoln plant and without the halt in output. In fact, with the steadily increasing demand which the Lincoln is joying production, through the production of greater facilities, been moved up and a new output cord was established in August shipments of 897 cars during month, a gain of 97 over July. During the eleven months of ownership in 1922 Lincoln cars mentions totaled 5.24x, while no farmer year 5.273 Lincolnes have been factured. Moving of the several departments into the new addition, which creates the plant floor space 312 square feet is being effected by a highly scientific arrangement. Plan provides that raw material stock shall enter one end of the celving room and gradually pass the manufacturing processes emerge at other end of the building an finished products. Conveyor systems, new and improved machinery and many facilities are being installed to give greater quality and refinement Lincoln Motor cars. Illustrative of the close attution which enters into phase of Lincoln car production one small department where used on Lincoln cars are recalled. These are manufactured by our countrys foremost watchmen Nevertheless, in this department clock undergoes an eight test before being permitted to its place on a Lincoln car imment board.

AUTOS HELPED SAVE FOLKS, GOODS IN FIRE SAN PRANCISCO, Sept. 29.—Automobiles proved their worth as individual units of transportation in the terrific series of fires that swept northern California cities and counties recently. Cars and trucks carried household belongings, fire fighters and explosives that were used to check the flames when water supplies failed. Many Berkeley people owe their lives to the fact that automobiles carried them and their belongings from the flames which swept out the fashionable section of the city in three hours. Fighters were rushed to the hills back of Oakland and in Marin-co to check forest and grass fires which had reached menacing proportions. Just another proof that the world would be a far different place if individual motor transportation were suddenly eliminated. CARPENTERS WON'T JOIN BLDG.
