SATURDAY, MAY 31, 1924 STATES OF ECONOMY CONTEST EXTENDED W. R. Schanhals, local Willys-Knight and Overland distributor has been holding a local Overland Owners' Economy test, and states that considerable interest is being shown by the Overland owners in the way that they have come in for this test. This contest is being conducted along the same lines as the Camp Curry, Yosemite, Run, in which the Overland won Sweepstakes prize and two class prizes. But instead of driving to Yosemite, Mr. Schanhals has measured off a 15 mile course starting from the Overland salesrooms at Center and Olive streets, and attaches a half gallon of gasoline to the carburetor to determine who is going to win the prizes. The prizes are, a cord tire, tube and tire cover, as the sweepstakes prize, a Boyce motormeter as second prize and to the closed car making the best showing, fifty gallons of gasoline. The contest was originally scheduled to close Thursday, June 5, but by special request from some of the Overland owners that could not get in by that date, it has been extended until Saturday, June 7, and Mr. Schanhals urges all Overland owners to enter their cars and win one of these prizes. BUSINESS IN NEW CARS NOT BAD (Continued from Page One) Lincoln distributor, announced sales of 19 Fords during the month and two Fordson tractors. The Certified Motor Car Market sold 19 cars during the month in spite of a scarefly of good used cars. H. R. Grove, Hudson and Essex distributor, sold at his Anabeim and Fullerton branches, 16 cars during May. An excellent used car business but new cars moving less rapidly was the general report of dealers. COMMITTS HARI KARI TOKIO, May 31.—A Japanese wearing a formal kimono, whose name was withheld by the police. FILM AIDS GOOD ROADS SENTIMENT The story of what improved highways mean to the rural community as told in the motion picture, "The Road to Happiness" is given a new impetus to good roads sentiment everywhere, thru the country. This is shown in reports being received daily by government officials, who co-operated in the making of the picture and by the Ford Motion picture laboratory which produced it. "The Road to Happiness" films are distributed free from all Ford branches in the United States, and since the first of them went out a few weeks ago the demand for their showing has been so great that, it has been necessary to supply every Branch with extra copies. The picture tells of the influence of improved highways upon the social, educational, religious and economic phases of life in rural communities, and the need for skilled highway engineering to bring about the improvement, the moral of all of which is that "we pay for improved roads whether we have them or not, and we pay less if we have them than if we have not." The film was produced jointly by the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce, representing the motor car industry and the Highway Education Board, and was made by the Ford Motor Picture Laboratory, under the guidance of the Bureau of Public Roads, U.S. Department of Agriculture. Because of the success of the picture in this country, the titles are being translated into foreign languages and as soon as possible it will be sent to Mexico, South America and Europe.

Mixed road rules—Standardized traffic regulations for all states is one of the crying needs of the day. Local conditions will sometimes require special interpretation, but it may be accepted that rules which are wisest and best for traffic in New York or Hickory Corners are also adapted to Los Angeles. When cross country touring has become the pastime of nine-tenths of our people, a complete improvement of signal rules and highway customs should be made. The auto clubs are doing much to bring this about, but there is still much to be accomplished governing traffic conditions in the nation as a whole. Regulation of pedestrian traffic and education of pedestrians as well as motorists to the dangers of modern traffic are just as necessary in any well rounded safety campaign as the curtailment of speeding and reckless driving. In recent instances in which pedestrians were hurt, three out of four accidents were due wholly to the jay walker. But the motorist has to have good proof or the law will give the pedestrian the preference. Therefore, it is well for the motorist to give way to the pedestrian. Better be safe than sorry. And the wise motorist should observe his signals more carefully every day. Exclusive of grade crossing collisions, motor accidents in the United States in 1923 cost 15,700 lives with 1300 additional fatalities at crossings, according to figures of the National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters. A distressing feature is that more than 5000 deaths were of children under 15 years of age. Therefore the motorist again should make safety his slogan. Wire wheel spokes should be tested and tightened occasionally. A two-time loser is not always a jail bird; he may be an auto owner who went to the wrong garage the first time. A friend of the writer went to a certain service station to have the rear of his machine greased. The employee charged him for seven and one-half pounds of picture in this country, the titles are being translated into foreign languages and as soon as possible it will be sent to Mexico, South America and Europe. He used to keep his eyes focused on the tiny Studebaker. The car seemed to have some strange fascination for him. Both Dutton and Cooper noticed it. So one day Cooper said to him: "Mister, you seem to admire that midget gas gondola. Does it look good to you?" He laughed, and I swear, there were tears in his eyes. He put his hand affectionately on the radiator, and said: "Son, that car is just like a grandson o' mine. Just like my own flesh and blood. Why! When I was a youth, I was helpin' to make Studebakers myself." The aged man was N. M. Henderson, 89 years old, one of Los Angeles' oldest citizens. When he was 19 years old he was painting Studebaker wagons and carriages. And so Earl Cooper, deciding to repaint his car, delighted him by suggesting that he paint it if he desired. The veteran set to work. He mixed the colors. He worked night and day. At the speedway here, during the trials, you see a sleek racing car whizzing around the track. It is Robin egg blue, trimmed in gold. A vivid, unique and eye-arresting sight. No carriage of old received more painstaking attention. Hurting through space it carries the blessing of an old-time master painter of long ago. 49 NEW OIL WELLS Oil field operations reported week ending May 24, show 49 new wells started, compared with 26 previous week.

We now have available several Dodge Brothers used cars which are exceptional values. Come in and see them. Chas. H. Mann Dodge Brothers Dealer 210 S. Los Angeles St. Anaheim, Calif. Old Master Paints Earl Cooper's Car Rural days before Earl Cooper and Reeves Dutton, his mechanic, started for the Indianapolis with the Studebaker Special, they were tuning it up after a race on the west Coast. A red man, N. M. Hendershott, by name, seemed fascinated with the car. Finally he told that he had worked for the Studebaker Brothers in South Bend, 67 years ago, painting Studebakes. Cooper immediately gave him the job of repainting his car. The aged man mixed paints and worked night and day. The finished job is a masterpiece. It is Robin Egg and unique and eye-arresting. MIS PAINTER EVER AS EVER NAPOLIS, May 31. Some weeks ago Earl and his mechanician, Earl were tuning up the Studebaker out in Los Angeles, ening a race on the west they noticed a snowy-hair-on who was intensely in to keep his eyes for the tiny Studebaker. The to have some strange run for him. Both Dutton noticed it. So one day told to him? you seem to admire yet gas gondola. Does it to you? Do As Mexicans Do When Driving in Mexico "Keep sweet, and remember you have to play the game the other fellow's way," is the admonition given to visiting motorists who are planning to cross the border into Mexico. With the arrival of increasing numbers of tourists unfamiliar with border regulations, it is pointed out by the Auto Club of S. Calif. that annoyance and delays may be avoided by a little fore-sight and understanding. Most persons are familiar with the fate that dutiable merchandise cannot be taken from one country to another without pay-to-go further than Mexicali or Tia Juana into Lower California, the car must be covered by a bond which is obtained from any authorized broker, and costs $3. These may be obtained in advance by wiring the make of car, driver's name, license and engine numbers. This bond is in lieu of paying duty on the car on entering Mexico and the fee is the broker's charge. Firearms cannot be tken into Mexico except shot guns for hunting. Permits must be obtained for these at average cost of $4.50. These are good for the life of the pastors or the charge of the Sunday church announcements bring in the copy for their sale by 3 o'clock Friday afternoon; the church announcement comes is made up at that hour and brought in afterward are fully but necessarily left out.

The problem of the used car is stated clearly and frankly so that both buyer and seller can get the dealer’s viewpoint. “Value depends upon make, appearance, mechanical condition and demand based upon reputation of make,” says the concern in about so many words. The owner is given a fair price, considering the cost of re-conditioning and the buyer obtains a thoroly reliable car. The prospect about to trade in his car is warned that he can easily obtain a higher allowance than is offered him, but only by trading his car in for a new machine for which an inflated price is asked.

HOUSE VOTES TO AMEND FARM BILL WASHINGTON, May 31.—The house adopted today 58 to 14, an amendment to the McNary-Haugen farm relief bill carrying back to the growers of animals the benefits of the increased ratio purchase price proposed by the bill to apply to meat products. The amendment was offered by Congressman Jones, Dem. of Texas. It was developed that few hogs were shipped alive in expert and Jones insisted the provision of the bill gave no relief to the hog raisers. $3000 PILE DRIVER ON OUTFALL SAVED The $3,000 pile driver used to lay the last $00 feet of cast iron pipe into the ocean in completing the joint outfall sewer was saved by City Engineer W.
