PROVE VALUE OF EXIDE FOR RADIO In recent successful tests of sending and receiving equipment on government mail airplanes, the value of the storage battery for radio was again demonstrated, according to B. F. Herr of the local Exide Service Station. These experiments are expected to be followed by the equipping of many government mail planes with radio sending and receiving sets. Thus, in time of fog, snow storms or other trouble, the pilot can locate his nearest landing station. A dynamotor operating from a 12 volt Exide Battery and giving direct current at 1000 volts is used for the operation of 5-50 watt XL tubes on the transmitter. This battery was hooked up in exactly the same manner as the starting and lighting battery on an automobile. It charges continually while the engine is running. The equipment is powerful and highly efficient but at the same time so simple that anyone can operate it successfully after brief instructions. In the tests already made the pilot was unfamiliar with radio apparatus, yet the operation was entirely successful. In order to talk the pilot merely throws a switch handle conveniently mounted under his feet, to the transmitting position and turns a large knob—the antenna variometer—until the ammeter shows the maximum reading. After he has done this once he locks the knob in position and then it is only necessary to throw the handle from "transmit" to "receive" as he talks. There are only two knobs necessary to solvent in tuning. When the pilot wishes to speak he throws the handle to "transmit"; when he wishes to loseen, he switches it to "receive" and in this way carries on a back and forth conversation with the ground stations.

Among the road-building projects are several, which are declared to be closely linked to the future of Orange county harbor. One of the most important of the proposed improvements calls for linking the harbor with a wide highway extending the length of the county. According to this plan, Fairview avenue to the intersection with Newport boulevard would be paved, and when entirely completed this highway would extend from Costa Mesa through the district west of Santa Ana, along Buaro road east of Garden Grove, through the outskirts of Anaheim joining with Spadra road at Fullerton, and then connect with the Whittier boulevard and Brea canyon roads. Another project calls for paving Santa Ana road from near Greenville to Newport boulevard. WHY ENGINE OF BUICK IS SUPERIOR Buick is the pioneer builder of valve-in-head engines for motor cars, which principle of design it has followed for more than 20 years. The present commanding position of Buick in the automotive industry is one in considerable measure to its consistent adherence to this type of construction. There are a number of very important advantages in the valve-in-head design and these will be readily apparent in a consideration of the following points, says a statement reaching Bill GoodHere are For D The following rules lists and pedestrians are by one of the clubs: For motorists, learn well before starting on Don't speed.

The Premier himself forbade his government department heads to leave their posts for more than five days at a time on pain of being dismissed. NEW ROAD TO SEQUOIA PARK The new state highway to the Sequoia national park was officially opened by Dist. Engineer Woodson on Saturday, Jan. 12. This opens to automobile travel the beautiful canyon of the main Kaweah river, generally known as the middle park section of the Sequoia national park. The giant forest road up the north fork of the Kaweah river has been closed for travel for the past three months, although owing to fine weather it might have been used had appropriations been made for its maintenance during winter months. Try a Plain Dealer Want Ad. Bulck is the pioneer builder of valve-in-head engines for motor cars, which principle of design it has followed for more than 20 years. The present commanding position of Bulck in the automotive industry is due in considerable measure to its consistent adherence to this type of construction. There are a number of very important advantages in the valve-in-head design and these will be readily apparent in a consideration of the following points, says a statement reaching Bill Goodrum of the Motor Sales Co., Inc. 1. The gasoline engine is that type of machine which derives its power from the heat developed in burning a mixture of fuel and air within its cylinders. The type of engine, therefore, that consumes in the highest degree the heat units in each charge of fuel and air, will show the greatest efficiency and economy in service, other things being equal. Of all internal combustion engines this condition is most closely met in the valve-in-head type which has the smallest area of combustion chamber surface and consequently less dissipation of the heat of combustion through the walls. The thermal efficiency of the valve-in-head-type is highest, which means that the largest possible amount of energy is developed from a given fuel consumption and, from the owner's point of view, this provides greater economy in operation. 2. In obtaining perfect combustion two conditions must be provided: The cylinders must be completely cleared of all buried gases before a fresh charge of fuel and air is admitted. Spark plugs must be so located that rapid ignition may be obtained, otherwise slow and therefore wasteful combustion will take place. The location of the valves in the cylinder head and directly over the pistons and the position of the spark plugs in the valve-in-head type of engine meet these two conditions. 3. Important from the standpoint of maintenance will be found the accessibility of the valves and the valve actuating mechanism, a feature which will commend itself to all owners who may desire personally to take care of minor maintenance operations.

Some people think that because Willard Batteries are quality batteries, they must be expensive. That’s wrong! You can buy a genuine Willard Wood-Insulated Battery with Willard reliability for $17.55. This battery is the lowest-priced reliable battery you can buy. Says Little Ampere: "No wonder many people think Willard Batteries cost more—they’re worth more." ANAHEIM IGNITION DEPOT A. Bevillard, Prop. Estb. 1912 218 SO. L. A. ST. PHONE 489 STORAGE BATTERIES Willard Here are Some Points For Drivers, Walkers The following rules for motorists and pedestrians are suggested by one of the clubs: For motorists, learn to drive well before starting out alone. Don't speed. Always be prepared to make a quick stop. Slow down to five miles an hour at railway lines. Never pass a car to the right. Don't monopolize the middle of the road. When turning hold out your hand during the last 50 feet traveled. Don't be nervous—keep at ten miles per hour if necessary until you are sure of yourself. For pedestrians—Be on the alert at all times. Don't be in a hurry to cross the street. Play safe. Remember that it is better to be a few minutes late than never to arrive at all. Don't cross the street in the middle of the block. Don't dart out from front, or behind a car parked at the curb. Don't depend upon the motorist to see that he does not hit you. This is a 50-50 proposition. Don't "star gaze" while crossing the streets. Remember that you have your share of responsibility in accident prevention. SPEEDING CAUSE OF MOST ARRESTS SACRAMENTO, Feb. 9.—Speed and reckless driving were responsible for the arrest of 31,557 California motorists during 1923 and constituted approximately 77 percent of all violations of the motor vehicle laws during that period. This is shown in comparative figures released today by Will H. Marsh, chief of the state motor vehicle department. Although there were 2255 less arrests during the year for all violations than during 1922, the figures show an increase of more than 2 percent in violations of the speed laws. Exclusive of the city of San Francisco, Marah's report shows a total of 49,845 arrests for motor vehicle law violations. If statistics were available for San Francisco, Marah estimated the grand total would reach 60,000. OAKLAND MILEAGE BASIS IS POPULAR The Oakland basis of mileage in selling has made a nation-wide hit, in fact it has been the sensation of the motor car business for a year, judging by the rapid climb of the Oakland from 19th place a year ago to seventh place in sales volume today. "Not until the Oakland made the announcement of its new basis of selling had any manufacturer of a popular-priced car ever put in print the mileage that the various parts of the car should give," says Harry L. Turton, Anaheim Oakland dealer, "and with the figures set forth by the Oakland as a basis of comparison, the public has been quick to grasp the potential value of this popular car and the demand has reached such proportions that the factory is far behind in filling orders. "For instance, the Oakland finds that the main bearings in the Oakland will give more than approximately 35 per cent of it." It is gratifying indeed, to see the interest being aroused for Anaheim as an industrial center. The very able article by our mayor, Wm. Stark, a few days ago, shows conclusively the advantages to be derived from industries. The mayor has taken an active interest in the rehabilitation of certain Anaheim industries and is fully convinced that the movement inaugurated by the C. of C. some two months ago, namely, that Anaheim must be an industrial city, is essential for the future growth of our city. As has been stated in the columns of your paper many times, the greatest obstacle for us to overcome is the price of land for factory sites. We have lost in the past two months, not one industry, but several, because of the high price of land. At this date we are negotiating with several industries which have almost demanded that we secure them a location. For two weeks the offices of the C. of C. and the industrial committee have been devoting hours to the solution of this problem. The plan has been weighed carefully, and if endorsed by a co-operative citizenry means that Anaheim will be an industrial center. Without an exception, industries that have been coming to Anaheim seeking a location have declared that we have the best location for an industrial site of any city in So. Calif. The 40 acres owned by the Anaheim Sugar Co., just outside the city limits, is the most desirable tract to be found. It is in sight of the state highway, has paved streets; trackage for three transcontinental railroads; (by the way, Anaheim is the only city in Orange-coat that has three transcontinental railroads, and only four other cities in the state are so situated, a four-inch gas main almost at the property line; an abundance of water and ampleorage start. These men mark the C. of C. has known that Anaheim to cope with the strides of years, must add to valuable assets, indulge first class fore locating, demanding information—means questioning cost of water, gas, climatic conditions, market, tax the community, lately etc. All this informational.

K.F.L.-4:45 to Increase Prices at Midway City A week ago the owners of Midway City, the new townsite at the junction of Huntington Beach and Santa Ana-blvd., stated that they would increase the prices of all lots $200 on the 10th of this month. In connection with this announcement they started a number of buses to bring prospective buyers to the tract. The result has been astonishing. The tract has been crowded all day long with people inspecting the newly laid out streets, the homes that have been built and the stores that are nearly completed. Three new stores were rented last week, one each for a grocerv, a restaurant and a plumber's shop. A number of other stores are going up immediately. It is reported that it is possible an outdoor entertainment of a very attractive character will be located here. Should this take place it is said it will bring many hundreds of people immediately to the neighborhood and would also on Sundays and holidays make Midway City the "mecca" of thousands of high class pleasure seekers. These would come from Los Angeles as well as from near by towns. Midway City busses are now running not only from Long Beach but from Santa Ana and other areas of selling had any manufacturer of a popular-priced car ever put in print the mileage that the various parts of the car should give," says Harry L. Turton, Anaheim Oakland dealer, "and with the figures set forth by the Oakland as a basis of comparison, the public has been quick to grasp the potential value of this popular car and the demand has reached such proportions that the factory is far behind in filling orders. For instance, the Oakland finds that the main bearings in the Oakland will give more than 40,000 miles of service without attention, provided of course that care is taken to supply the crankcase with proper oil. They go even farther than this in the matter of valves. 15,000 miles is the mark at which these parts should first require attention. This is really sensational when the valve troubles of most cars are considered. The connecting rod bearings should carry the car in excess of 40,000 miles without requiring tightening or replacing, and the cylinder, pistons and rings should run up a mileage of 15,000 before adjustment is necessary. A written guarantee is given with each Oakland, protecting the buyer against oil pumping. The Oakland is the only car that has so far made such a broad guarantee. The axles, transmission and differential will last as long as there is any frame in the car to hold it together, and we have yet to hear of any Oakland being troubled by a weak frame. 15-18 STARS AT BEVERLY ON 24TH (Continued From Page One) is also a manufacturer. He is the builder of the Mourre car, one of the popular light cars of France, and in his races in Europe, Mourre has always favored the light racing creation. In 1921, Mourre won the Grand Prix and International on the La Mans course, as well as the Circuit Fontainebleau classic. That same year he established a new world's kil record. In 1922, the French driver won the International Prix for the third time, having captured the event in the two previous years, 1920 and 1921. After driving in the Beverly Hills meet on Feb. 24, Mourre intends to compete in the Indianapolis 500-mile race on May 30, and then return to France and devote his time to the duties of his manufacturing plant, where the Mourre car is built. He says he will learn many things during his American racing invasion that will help him in his work in France. The qualifying speed for the Beverly Hills speedfest may be set at 112 miles an hour at a recent meeting of the Speedway Drivers' Ass'n. This has not yet been decided upon, but it is probable that it will be set in the near future of selling had any manufacturer of a popular-priced car ever put in print the mileage that the various parts of the car should give," says Harry L. Turton, Anaheim Oakland dealer, "and with the figures set forth by the Oakland as a basis of comparison, the public has been quick to grasp the potential value of this popular car and the demand has reached such proportions that the factory is far behind in filling orders.

Last Monday and Tuesday the industrial committee spent most of the time working up a list of men who are or ought to be interested in the welfare of Anaheim.

Many Orangeco residents have bought lots. "This augurs well for the tract," says Arthur E. Dike, one of the owners, "as those people know values from knowledge of the locality." Mr. Dike also says there is likely to be plenty of work for carpenters and other workers at Midway City during the next few months but he says this will naturally go to those who are prepared to make their homes here. With Midway City and Central Memorial Park, just across the way, under construction, there should be plenty of work for a long time, he states. NEW C. OF C.

Saturday, February 9, 1924 Industrial Situation These men must feel what the C. of C. has known for months that Anaheim to continue to grow with the strides of the last few years, must add to her already valuable assets, industries. All first class industries, before locating, demand certain information—means of transportation, cost of water, power, light, gas, climatic conditions, raw material, markets, taxes, support of the community, labor conditions, etc. All this information is essential. The secretary has been securing this information and has been diligently working on several sets of questions preparatory to making an industrial survey. The questions are now completed and in the hands of the printer. It will be only a few days until this survey will be undertaken, and again groups of men will be requested to give some time each day until it is completed. Monday morning, Feb. 11th at 9:30 in the city council room the committee of citizens selected by the industrial committee, will be asked to meet and have submitted to them the work already done and plan for further development of industrial Anaheim. Fellow citizens, this will take the combined effort of every organization, civic, religious, fraternal and cultural. No one can shirk the responsibility of this undertaking.

BIG HIT The second annual national radio exposition, which is being held in the Los Angeles Biltmore Hotel, is by far the largest and most elaborate of anything of this kind in the history of radio. The city of Los Angeles has long held an enviable reputation for her spirit of co-operation, and the wonderful success of the present radio show is actual proof that the co-operation spirit is there. Thousands of people have daily thronged the spacious show rooms of the beautiful Biltmore Hotel, looking over the exhibits of the various radio manufacturers. One can readily see the keen interest the public is showing in radio and what a wonderful thing radio really is. The presence of many of the broadcast announcers and entertainers of the all is more evidence of the co-operative spirit back of radio broadcasting. The buying public seems to take more interest in the standard makes of receiving sets that are backed by reliable manufacturers than the numerous new circuits that have sprung up, put on the market and advertise to take the people's money. The Colin B. Kennedy Co. is well represented in the show, having beautiful displays of their new type receivers in ten different booths.
