Saturday, February 2, 1924 LINCOLN IN RUN AT MILE A MINUTE Sid McGraw, local Ford Lincoln dealer, declares that a Lincoln car is credited with the fastest run on record between police headquarters at South Bend, Ind., and the state house at Indianaapolis. The trip of 155.7 miles was made in 165 minutes, an average of close to a mile a minute despite frequent slow-down in cities and towns along the way and occasional pauses and stops due to traffic and road conditions. The car was commandeered by Chief of Police Laurence J. Lane recently in order to secure the governor's signature to extradition papers which were urgently needed. W. W. Farrar, Lincoln sales manager for W. R. Hinkle, Inc., South Bend Ford dealers, piloted the car on the flying trip to the capital.

QUITE SOME FEW AUTOOS IN STATE SACRAMENTO, Feb. 2.—Automobiles registered in California at the close of 1924 will approximate $650,000,000 in value, according to figures made public today by the State Motor Vehicle Department. It is estimated that 1,300,000 cars will be registered during the year and Will H. Marsh, chief of the department, estimates the average value of each auto at $500. Placed end to end, the automobiles registered in California would measure a distance of 2,692 miles—enough to reach from San Francisco to New Orleans and buck to El Maso again. Allowing a parking space, 15 feet long and 10 feet wide for each car, they would cover a field seven miles square. Passenger cars alone, if set end to end, would form a solid line around the State with several hundred miles to spare. The license plates for these cars if placed end to end, would reach from Sacramento to Los Angeles. Side by side, these plates would make a path wide enough for a man to walk on from San Francisco to Freeso. Connie Mack, waxing enthusiastic, says the Yankees will finish first next September and the Athletics will be second. It seems a shame to play out the whole season just to decide who'll finish third. MODIFY RULING FOR VISITING AUTOISTS SACRAMENTO, Feb. 2.—Protests by residents of Nevada, Oregon, Washington and other western states against his recent ruling that non-resident motorists entering California must give surety bond before making application for a state license today caused Will H. Marsh, chief of the state motor vehicle department, to announce modification of the order, as follows: 1. Obtain guarantees from two California property owners vouching for their integrity when applying for a license is made. 2. Presentation of a paid contract from the former owner of the car when applying for a license. "The order was issued solely to protect Californians from purchasing cars stolen in other states," said Marsh, in explanation. It also frequently occurs that cars are sold here which are only paid for in part. I have no desire to cause the general motorization models and that it is hardly possible to keep enough sets of hand to fill the demand. The beautiful appearance, simple plicity of tuning and efficient operation makes these receivers ideal for the home. Not only are Kennedy sets capable of receiving local programs but owners have reported haxing. USED CARS OF REAL VALUE 1921—Dodge Roadster. 1918—Dodge Roadster. 1916—Dodge Touring.

Hi Powered Motor Mile Below Ground Energy sufficient to raise water from the depth of a mile under-ground, which means driving pumps against tremendous pressure, will be provided by an installation of electric motors about to be made by the General Electric company for the Calumet & Hecla Mining company in the Michigan copper mining district. The actual depth at which the pump work is 5256 feet, which is so great that a relay pump will assist the bottom pump, and will be installed at a middle level of 2450 feet below the surface. The pressure of the great head of water with which these pumps will have to deal will be 1206 pounds to the square inch at the bottom level and 1053 pounds to the square inch at the middle level. This is more than half a ton, or several times the pressure of a large steam locomotive. Chambers will be hewn out of solid rock to accommodate the pumping and motor installations at both the bottom and the sold-ide level. To get the motors down the shaft to the rooms, they will have to be entirely disassembled and recreated at the mouth of the shaft before being lowered through the passageway. There will be six motor vehicles registered in S. (approx.) 14,500,000. Motor cars 12,880,000. Motor trucks 1,620,000. World registration of motor vehicles 17,000,000.

A Story How Studebaker 145,000 people last year THE most talked-about cars among fine cars are the Studebaker Sixes—at $975 and up. Sales have almost trebled in the past three years. The demand for these cars, growing by leaps and bounds, has been Motordom's chief sensation. Over $200,000,000 was last year spent for Studebaker models.
