SPEED TRAP EVIDENCE HEARD (Continued From Page One) Most of these are on citations served at Seal Beach. According to District Attorney A. B. Nelson, a test case is being prepared now by a defendant who declares speed traps illegal. Coming nearer home, Justice G. B. Brown said that while, in his opinion, speed traps might be unconstitutional, the fact he was concerned with was that they were illegal. The drive on traffic law violators eased up this week, when Jack Pickell, motorcycle officer, was assigned for a couple of days to special duty. "Repetitors' continue scarce here, according to Judge Brown. Since August, 1922, when he took office as city recorder, he has had only half a dozen repeaters. "Ninety per cent of the citizens are law-abiding, and offend only through thoughtlessness," said Brown. "Only 19 per cent are deliberate offenders. It is these birds whom we like to get." Talking about repeaters, Brown revealed the fact that he had made recommendations to counsel of the Auto Club of So. Calif., which would have been extremely efficacious if they had been included in the new law. He urged that the principal offences be printed in brief form on operator's permits, and when the holder was hailed into court, the judge upon conviction should punch the section of the law that had been violated. Then, when the same man appeared again, whoever the judge was or wherever the offense, the fact that the offender was a repeater would be known at once, and punishment meted out accordingly. ANNOUNCE NEW RADIO TRIUMPH Next week being National week, the Anaheim Ignition Depot is preparing to serve discriminating radio buyers. Kennedy has always been recognized as being "The Royalty of Radio." These new models show a distinctive advance in radio development, and are the result of extensive research in the Kennedy laboratories, and were produced in response to an insistent popular demand for more simplified apparatus. The selection of one of these beautiful models is an assurance of finality in radio purchasing, for added to their appealing beauty of design are other characteristics which make these models especially desirable for the modern home. After initial settings are made, all tuning is controlled by a single dial. Yet with this extreme simplicity of operation, the selectivity of the earlier Kennedy models has been retained. These new units respond to all broadcast wave lengths and operate on any ordinary Antenna.

That question was before the board of education following a vigorous protest by the Public School Janitors' Ass'n. Mrs. Lucia L. Knowles, supervisor of park commission activities, and John A. Gee, supt. of school repairs, have submitted reports in which they deny conditions alleged by the janitors. G. M.

Few appreciate the immensity of what W.C. Durant has done since he ceased, less than three years ago, to direct others in the building of cars—and began to build for himself. Few grasp the significance of his success or give him the credit for insight, creative energy and practical motor design which should be his. Think of any other car except the Star Car…Durant’s solution of the light car problem—compare their slow growth, their imperfect first design, their many forward steps before standard construction was settled on—compare all this with the instantaneous manner in which the perfect chassis design of the Star Car met and won the field. 125,000 men and women bought the Star Car in the first year of its existence.

Tires Than on Any Other Kind." was deeply impressed on the minds of the thousands of people who visited the 11th annual Los Angeles Motor Show, which was another triumph for Goodyear tire equipment. Of the 279 passenger car models exhibited, 95 were equipped with Goodyear tires, as compared to 48 on the tires of the nearest competitor.

In addition, all four passenger motor buses on display carried Goodyear pneumatics. "ANY OLD SPEED" ISN'T THE LAW Auto drivers under the impression that the new California vehicle act does not limit the speed of motor vehicles, are due for a sad awakening, according to a statement issued by the Auto Club of So. Calif. Claims were made that the state law was not explicit in limiting speed, but the legal department of the Auto club says that the new law, in fact, is further reaching than the old, and amply regulates the speed at which a car may be driven. Briefly, the law provides that a car be driven "at a careful and prudent speed; not greater than is reasonable and proper, having due regard to the traffic, surface and width of the highway, and no person shall drive any vehicle on a public highway at such a speed as to endanger the life, limb or property of any person." This means that while the old law set an arbitrary limit regardless of danger, the new law makes it an offense to endanger life, limb or property, whether the speed is greater or less than the limits mentioned in the old law. The list of the statement is that care ENGINEERING'S LATEST IS TOLD The firm of Lumley and Bauer, Northern Orange County Rickenbacker dealers, just received a letter from Captain Eddie Rickenbacker who has recently made a thorough inspection of all European motor cars exhibited at the Paris Salon and at the big National Olympia Motor Show which opened in London last week. In this letter Rickenbacker states that 55% of the grand total of all cars shown at the Paris Salon had four-wheel brakes. One hundred per cent of those cars shown had brakes of the internal expanding type. Ninety-nine per cent of them were mechanically operated. Only one manufacturer showed hydraulically operated brakes; and that on front wheels only—and he is now changing. Although English makers, like American manufacturers, were slow to respond to the demand for this great improvement, fifteen of the leading English manufacturers got ready in time to exhibit new models with four-wheel brakes. Rolls-Royce—which has been exhibit A.in the propaganda of a few manufacturers against four-wheel brakes—exhibited their new new model cars equipped with four-wheel brakes. They had to come to it. Six cylinder cars predominated both in the Paris Solon and at the Olympia show in London. There was a 20% increase in this type over last year. Deeper frames are also coming in Europe, as they are in America. Air cleaners—devices for excluding sand, dust and other particles of foreign matter from the air before it enters the cylinders—were seen on many of the highest priced cars.

Buy In Anaheim— BATTERY'S LIFE 5 YEARS, 1 MONTH Talk about the life of a battery; here's one that gave uninterrupted service for five years and one month. It's a Gould, and Jensen, exclusive local distributor, is telling his friends about it. How much longer it will run remains to be seen. Under standard factory tests conducted by the judging board of automotive experts, this prize-winning battery showed a rating 15 per cent over that required of new batteries. All Gould batteries entered in the contest were regular stock batteries. Not a single one was of special construction or built to order for a particular make of car. The final results of the contest established a national average service record of four years and one month. This convincing evidence tells a significant story of Gould power. Gould endurance and Gould economy. It establishes a solid foundation for the Gould slogan: "Longest life by owners' records."

Anaheim Bob White Company 2 West Center Street Phone 548 SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1923 AVERAGE PRICE USED CARS $323 The average market price of a used automobile Oct. 1, was $323.27, according to Lynn M. Shaw, assistant general manager of the National Automobile Dealers' Ass'n. This figure is taken from the charted figures based on reports by automobile dealers in 18 states, made to the N. A. D. A., showing stocks on hand, valuations and selling prices as of Oct. 1. The average price which the dealers of the country had allowed for the $99,600 used autos in stock Oct. 1, was $337.41. The difference between these two figures is the amount of loss on each used car that the dealers were absorbing. This is a loss of capital investment, and does not include the money paid in salesmen's commissions, advertising, building rent, taxes, and other items of overhead and management. With all of these figures included the average loss per car will run high. Advertising expense in connection with the sale of used automobiles has been made a part of the study which the N. A. D. A. made of the used car business. For the first nine months of 1923 the average advertising expenditure per dealer was more than 300. From the figures already obtained, the N. A. D.
