CLUBS REDUCE STATE'S EXPENSES SACRAMENTO, April 5—A reduction in openhead costs to the state of at least $20,000 was made possible through the service given by California State Automobile Ass'n. and Automobile Club of So. Calif., to their members, in issuing 1924 automobile plates at the branch offices of the clubs during the recent renewal period. Will H. Marsh, chief of the division of motor vehicles, announced today. The clubs and their respective branch offices issued approximately 185,000 sets of plates from January 15 to Feb. 1. It was stated Marsh explained that the division had been relieved of an expenditure for postage ranging from $13,000 to $17,000 since most of the applications handled by the clubs were in the smaller towns and would otherwise have been handled by mail from Sacramento. He added that the state had been relieved of substantial sum in payrolls and other expenses by the arrangement. Marsh declared this estimate was based on the actual cost of handling the business by the division and not upon expenditures by the clubs. "During the renewal period the clubs utilized the part-time services of more than 150 employees in this work without charge to the state and no doubt spent from $40,000 to $50,000," he added. "They were thereby able to give faster service to their members and relieve us of a vast amount of detail at a time when our files were congested." At the close of the renewal period a new service was initiated whereby dealers were permitted to secure plates for new cars from the branch offices of the clubs without the delay of forwarding applications to Sacramento.

HELLO DIXIE Truck Island Los Angeles and Broadway ANAHEIM HELLO DIXIE Telephone Los Angeles and Broadway ANAHEIM INSURANCE LESS ON OAKLAND CAR Oakland construction has received no finer recommendation than that given by the insurance companies in reducing the insurance rates on the 6-54, according to Harry L. Turton, Anaheim Oakland dealer. "No less than five different premium reductions have been granted, on the Oakland," says Mr. Turton. "These make a big saving for the Oakland owner in the cost of operation." "First, the Oakland is so constructed that it takes the lowest possible fire insurance rating. Regardless of price, there is no car with a lower fire rate. The salesman can, therefore, say to his prospect, 'This car is as well constructed from the point of view of fire protection as any car on the market, as evidenced by the fact that insurance companies give it the very lowest rating.'" "Second, the Oakland is equipped with an approved transmission lock for which the insurance companies allow a 20 per cent reduction from the theft rate. Third, on account of the 4-wheel brakes, the General Exchange Corporation has succeeded in obtaining for Oakland purchasers a 10 per cent reduction from collision rates. Fourth, again 4-wheel brakes have obtained a 5 per cent reduction in property damage insurance. Fifth, there is an additional Oakland insurance feature. When the Oakland, with its permanent top, is sold with a winter enclosure, it takes the rate of a closed car instead of the rate of an open car." READ THE CLASSIFIED PAGE By H. A. BIGGS Vice-President, The Studebaker Corporation of America South Bend, Ind., April 1—(B letter.)—The distinguished president of a great university was going through our plants here today. He was particularly interested in the historic vehicles assembled in the Studebaker National Museum, which is the musea of those sands of motor pilgrims every year. "Ah, and what is that? he suddenly asked. "Over there—the quiet, exquisitely built carriage?" That, I said, "is the carriage presented by the United States government to General LaFayette during his triumphal visit to this country in 1824." And then we were both struck by the fact, heretofore obscure in our consciousness—that this year is the centennial anniversary of the "second coming of LaFayette when he returned to America, after his exploits as a volunteer soldier under George Washington, to receive the overwhelming applause of a grateful nation. Just a hundred years ago Think of that. When one realizes as that college president and wife—standing humbly before the worm relic in our museum that will be exactly a century this July since General LaFayette revisited the freedom-loving people he had fought and shed blood for—the miracles of this modern age seemed upon us. And here at South Bend we cherish the fragile carriage that Marie Joseph Paul Yves Ribbert Du Moyer-Marquise de La Fayette rode in thrilling splendor, amid the plaudits of American fans lining the streets. The presented him with $200,000 and a township of land. I think we should have a LaFayette Centennial this summer Throughout the United States that he loved and battled for let us honor the memory of this "minor sister of humanity." He was loner-hearted, undaunted by danger or responsibility, a defender of the helpless, popular voice in government, freedom of the press, the suppression of special privilege, and the rights of the common man to enjoy happiness and liberty.

All good American principles. The "Triumphal Carriage" of LaFayette, with its tonneau seat high in the air, is the oldest exhibit in the museum of The Studebaker Corporation, whose traditions and history parallel the progress of transportation in American development. It is the "Canastota wagon," built in 1835 by John Studebaker, father of the Flye brothers who established the House of Studebaker. This ox-powered pedrizer schopner was used in 1835 by a family while emigrated from York County Pennsylvania, to Belmont County Ohio. It took them weeks to hear their way through the pioneer trails their desolation. Today a famous train whirls past joy office here in South Bend. It flies on its way from Chicago to New York in 20 hours! There is deep tragedy, too, in terwoven in the histories of many vehicles in our museum. You may see President Lincoln's carriage—the one in which he rode on the night he was assassinated. Now it stands—mute reminder of a man tyred immortal. There are the carriages of Presidents Grant and Harrison—built lower to the ground, more rugged and having a touch of modernity. And moving along the silent sidewalk you see sudden reminders of the Twentieth Century—early Studebaker motor cars. You see, too, the dazzling Studebaker gold chassis and gold car, $25,000 machine that has been exhibited around the world. And an aluminum wagon of box rosewood prize winner at the World's Columbian Exposition in '93. Then—suddenly—you come up on field wagons, tractors and war camouflaged carts which we made for the Allies and America during the Great War. The history of America is all here! From La Fayette—fighting at Yorktown-to Pershing, plowing his way through the Meuse Argonne. Is a glorious story. In LuFayette Company’s Museum DRIVERS CAN AID TO CHECK PLAGUE Motorists may be of valuable service to county and state authorities in checking the foot and mouth disease among cattle, and are urged to do their bit, in an announcement by the Automobile Club of Southern California. It has been definitely determined that the disease easily is spread among herds of valuable cattle through carrying infected soil. Hence, the warning to all motorists to observe every quarantine regulation to the letter of the law as their tires and shoes will carry germs unless precautions are taken. Co-operation on the part of every person is needed to successfully eliminate the malady. While there is no danger to human beings, it spreads rapidly among cattle and may be carried from one district to another by pleasure seekers, campers, flower pickers, mushroom hunters, and dogs taken out by picnic parties. The motorist can perform no greater service to the state at this time, it is pointed out, than to assist in every way to eradicate the fresharous and disastrous foot and mouth disease.

A. BIGGS ident, The Studebaker Corporation of America Bend, Ind., April 1—(By the distinguished prestigious great university was go-gh our plants here today.) HAND-MADE BODY IN HUDSON CARS "It is refreshing once in a while to hear of a product being turned out under the old-fashioned hand-made methods of our forefathers," remarked H. R. Grove, Hudson-Essex dealer. "Consider a system under which the older men instruct the boys—in many cases it is father and son—in the secrets of their trade. Then imagine a plant located in a small New England town in which it has been carrying on its business for three quarters of a century." "Doesn't sound much like the hustling, bustling automobile business, does it? Well, there is such a plant. It is located in Amsbury, Mass., in the quiet historic valley of the Merlimae river. Once a carriage shop, now an automobile body factory. Since 1910 this concern, Bindle & Smart, has been devoting its exclusive interest to the manufacture of enclosed car bodies for the Hudson Motor Car Co. The new Hudson sedah body is an outstanding example of their skillful and artistic workmanship, and is by far the finest of its type ever built." DECLARES HUDSON CHEAPEST TO RUN E. A. Skahill, western representative of the Boyce Motometer Co., recently called on H. R. Grove, Hudson and Essex dealer in Anaheim and Fullerton, on his 26,000-mile trip in a Hudson coach, one of a score of two purchased for commercial use. Commenting on the Boyce motometer, which is standard equipment on the two cars, Skahill said: "Many odd theories have been advanced as to why motometers disappear from automobiles. Most of these theories are so far fetched as to be laughable. For instance, there is one which accuses dope fiends, claiming that they steal the motometers for the amount of 'dope' contained in the thermometer. This theory is nothing more than a joke, when one considers that there is not more than two" ON ACCOUNT OF SOME Fear BEING HEIM, AS TO THE WISDOM OF SENDING LAW PART OF OUR DRIVER TO TAKE OUR WORK TO TICE TO THE MODEL AND ITS PATRONS, WEMENT: The Model employs twelve drivers among them for at least three years in our plant and there has not been the best of our knowledge.

HELLO DIXIE Rocking Chairs Los Angeles and Broadway ANAHEIM Some Rainy Weather Dont's Are Issued by Auto Club Scores of stalled cars and many solidable mishaps during recent days have brought a few complaints of caution from the Automobile Club of Southern California. Among these are included: Don't fall to signal. Better arm than a broken neck. Do slowly into pools of water if deep gutters so that water will not splash through the radiance and put the ignition system of business. Watch for school stop marks or signs, for some of these have been obliterated by rain and mud. Keep on the cement in backing out of your garage. Many autos have been stuck in the mud in the back yards of their owners. Keep your windshield clean. Be sure your brakes are properly adjusted. If they are equalized, there is less danger of skidding. Do not encourage skidding by throwing out the clutch when applying brakes. If forced off the hard-surfaced road, do not attempt to swing back too suddenly. There is danger of overturning. BATTERY CAN BE MADE LIKE NEW! Watch your battery, and when it begins to give you difficulties after a reasonable length time, have it overhauled and $20 to $28 monthly more service on it. This is the advice of B. F. Herr the Exide Service Station on North Los Angeles-st. Herr deres he can, by replacing the batteries in a $30 battery that won't be spoiled, make it last out of proportion to cost of repairs.

No chances are being taken with the man who indicates he is in the market for a used car, and note kept of the car desired enables the firm to nail opportunities for getting one whenever they are presented. TIRES WERE NEVER LOWER THAN NOW Brunswick and New York are selling at lower prices than ever before, says Claude Williams of Daniels & Williams, local assistant distributor. Furthermore, there's nothing in the city tire for tire selling any lower. The price cut has enabled the firm to dispose of a large quantity of tires the past week. FREEDOM COSTS $200 C. S.
