ESSEX PHAETON IS NEW CREATION The new Essex phaeton which was put on display again here this week at the showrooms of H.R. Grove has been attracting many an eye of the passerby. "The new Essex is described by one of the leading trade authorities as a type of vehicle long needed in this country. It is surprisingly economical to operate and does not cost much to buy. These qualities, combined in a six-cylinder car selling for less than $1000, show what can be done by an organization that can work just a little ahead of the market and see the public demand before it actually arrives. "In the designing of the car, Hudson engineers had in mind the development of mechanical qualities which would meet the modern requirements of smoothness, flexibility, endurance and economy. It is believed that these qualities have been obtained to a degree which has heretofore been known only to motor cars of a relatively high price. "It was realized that to improve on the previous four-cylinder Essex—a car with thousands of the warmest admirers throughout the world—it would be necessary to work to high standards of performance and endurance, and to add to them the distinctive advantages of a Hudson-built six-cylinder car. "To attain these results, a free use has been made of the principles and methods which have been responsible for building the reputation of the Hudson Super Six, as well as the previous Espex." 29 NEW OIL WELLS Oil field operations reported the week ending March 22, show 29 new wells started, compared with 34 previous week; 6 were for new wells in Torrance field, 4 in Long Beach, 2 in Huntington Beach, 1 in the Whittier, 2 in Domingues, 1 in Los Angeles-co, 1 in Ventura-co, 1 in Santa Cruz-co, and 11 in Kern-co. The total new OVERLAND COACH NEW MODEL HERE A businessmen's coach in an Overland is the latest product which W.R. Shecanhals has to offer the public. The car, on display at the showrooms, corner of East Center and Olive, is being shown as the ideal car for a small family on a camping or beach trip. The seats form a bed more than six feet long, the seats themselves are adjustable according to the height of the person, and the job as a whole is equal to any Overland yet turned out by the factory. 2865 Dealers In California Now SACRAMENTO, March 29.—Records of the Division of Motor Vehicles indicate that there are 2865 automobile dealers doing business in the state of California at this time. Will H. Marsh, chief of the state division, announced today. This is based on the number of dealers who registered or renewed licenses in 1923. A total of 10,916 pairs of plates were issued to these dealers. The records also show a total of 117 motorcycle dealers in the state to whom 223 sets of plates were issued in 1923. The number of plates issued to dealers does not indicate the number of cars owned by them, it was explained, as a dealer may change his plates, at will, from one car to another.

Several other oil companies, doing business in the state, paid heavy fees, according to the records. JORDAN CHANGES IN BODY ARE RARE The key to Jordan success is unchanged design. Reviewing the rapid and phenomenal growth of the Jordan factories from the day Edward S. Jordan stopped off the train at Cleveland with a picture of an automobile and a deposit slip for $2,000,000 in his pocket, and a huge idea in his mind, J. E. Walter Co., local Jordan dealer summarizes the reasons for Jordan success in the old adage that "keeping everlastingly at it brings success." And according to Jordan himself, it took him 10 years of active work in the automobile business as an executive for some of the largest automobile factories before he learned the lesson that the public likes to buy a car the design of which is not changed with each recurring season. So the basic design of the Jordan, which the well-known manufacturer carried in his pocket when he got off the train at Cleveland seven years ago, is the basic design of the Jordan car today, changed and refined only where true artistry demanded. "There never has been an artist who has not been able to improve his works of art by a deft touch here and there long after the work was considered complete. Just so with automobile design. The original design for Jordan seemed at the beginning to be as near perfect as it could be. And it was so very splendid that there has been no radical change in it since that time. The public has liked it so well, that Jordan has been considered a real style leader from the very beginning, and such cars as the Jordan Playboy, Blue Boy and Victoria often serve as the inspiration for other manufacturers to follow. But here and there has been found a touch that could be bettered. The curve of the body top on the enclosed models was carefully refined some months ago, this little touch, and that little touch have been given to the Jordan masterpieces of body design, and very little has been said about it." Jordan believes that the man who buys a Jordan car this year is entitled to have a car that is 'in style' for a good many years to come, and the familiar plan of Chas. H.

Los Angeles St. Anaheim Phone 366 PAROBELL TIRES ORDERED TO RESUME SANTA ANA SERVICE Through order of the State Railroad Commission, Anaheim will again be given local service between this city and Santa Ana, connecting with that company's present through service from Los Angeles via Fullerton, Brea, La Habra, Whittier, Montebello and intermediate points. This order which has been the subject of long consideration by the Railroad Commission has been accepted by the Motor Transit Co. who will probably start service on this service effective April 1. The decision grants the extension of the Motor Transit Stage system from Anaheim to Santa Ana but states that the Motor Transit Co. shall not transport any through passengers from the terminals of Santa Ana and Los Angeles under which conditions it would appear that any passengers from Santa Ana to points beyond Anaheim must change cars at that point.

In his letter he suggests that a visit will be made by the committee to the Imperial Valley and the Colorado river within the next few weeks. The president's letter follows; "I take pleasure in informing you of your appointment as a member of the joint committee to investigate the Colorado River and San Juan Basin situations and to report at the next meeting of the directors of the California Real Estate Ass'n., as to your opinion concerning how the Ass'n can aid in the solution of these two great development problems." "The Coking Coal of the San Juan Basin is needed in California at once if we are going to make steel and furnish the basis for other industries. The Colorado River must be developed at once for flood protection, for the furnishing of additional irrigation facilities and for power purposes. In my idgment, the Boulder dam project should be pushed immediately and the Swing-Johnson bill now before congress with some modifications passed." "Trusting that you can accept this appointment and be ready within the near future to meet with other members of this committee for organization, and probably to take a trip to El Centro and the Colorado River for close personal inspection on the call of the chairman, etc." 400 WELCOME JOHN WILLY'S AT BILTMORE HOTEL (Continued From Page One) Most of Willy's speech was given up to department reports: Engineering—Chief Engineer Baker spent six weeks in Europe recently, bringing back all the ideas he could corral.

My motorists who have bought their homes on time, their autofurniture monthly payments, as well their groceries and other necessities on charge accounts, are beginning to realize that it is as logical to buy tires as way. "Of course this system applies to the motorist who is temporarily short of funds and needs them at our store that he able to secure the best stand makes of tires, paying only a small amount down and the balance small weekly payments that never missed. A great many our customers will be surprised says Mendola," that it does cost them any more to buy on time than it does to pay because no interest is charged." Another point that has made hit with our customers past has been the fact our store accepts in trade torst's old tires that he formed to throw away. This together with our additional service of changing tires and test alignment free of charge me up a service for the Reliable Co. that we believe is second none," concluded Mendola. Mrs. W. A.

BRITISH SEAMEN IN SEVEREST STRAITS LIVERPOOL, March 29—The thousand British sea captains, who haven't been to sea for months, are facing a crisis. Thirty thousand mariners, below the rating of captain, are out of work and are drawing unemployment benefits. The Mercantile Marine Service Ass'n, in a survey of conditions due to the slump in shipping, finds that captains, who have had contracts for salaries from $2500 upward a year, are now trimming lamps and swabbing decks as able seamen for $600 a year. One able captain is a street hawker, another has become a taxi driver, and many others are existing on temporary odd jobs. Thomas Scott, secretary of the Mercantile Marine Service Ass'n, declares conditions have neves before been so bad. Proposals have been made to the government for aid, and it has been suggested the government charter idle ships to carry government cargoes, employing men according to their seniority. It is also suggested the govern-ment grant a subsidy to shipowners to enable them to hire extra-men. Grants for those who lost their ships through enemy action are also being asked.
