VOL. XXVII—No. 240 CAR SALES SHOW IMAGE JUNE FINES HERE TOTAL $2,165 Judge Charley Kuechel Determined to Stop Auto Violations The policy of fining drunks five to ten times the amounts they were penalized during previous regimes helped in the remarable total of fines imposed during June by Charley Kuechell ag city recorder and justice of the peace. The aggregate, consisting mostly of penalties for auto violations, was $2,165 for the two courts, said to be a record. Fines totaled $1165 in justice's court alone. Last January fines in justice's court amounted to only $130. The policy of fining drunks five to ten times the amounts they were penalized during previous regimes helped in the removable total of fines imposed during June by Charley Kuechell as city recorder and justice of the peace. The aggregate, consisting mostly of penalties for auto violations, was $2,165 for the two courts, said to be a record. Fines totaled $1165 in justice's court alone. Last January fines in justice's court amounted to only $130. Of the $2,165, $997 was in the minor court. Several cases of driving while intoxicated originated in the local justice's court, but being felonies were passed on to superior court. One is scheduled to come up today. Judge Kuchel is determined to put a stop to drunkenness largely because more likely than not the drunk drives a car of some sort. Eight or ten drunks were fined fifty dollars each—one $100—during June in city recorder's court. Another reason for stopping intoxication is that the stuff drunk is rottener than ever. Repentedly men who were delirious or half blind for two or three days have been put into the city lockup. HERE'S ANOTHER COST CUT DODGE Dodge fans who will stand up and be counted are so numerous that Charley Mann, local distributor, is becoming blase. But the other day he came across a local fan whose record, while not unparalleled, is striking. M. E. Simon, who drives a 1919 touring, has traveled 60,000 miles of it on the same set of tires. Even now Simon is getting 400 miles to the quart of oil and 20 miles to the gallon of gasoline. In five years and four months the valves have been ground and bearings taken up only three times. No repairs whatever were made on the car during the first 18,000 miles of use. Simon has been driving to and from the oil fields. NEW HUDSONS ARE ONE MORE TRIUMPH The new Hudson coach is considered one of the handsomest Hudson's ever built. It is due to Hudson's position as an enclosed car specialist that so fine and beautiful an automobile may be purchased at a price not far above the level of many open cars. All details of upholstery, finish and cushioning are of a quality standard, says H. R. Grove of the H. R. Grove Motor Co. of Anaheim and Fullerton. All Hudson cars are finished in a characteristic Hudson blue. In the open cars, the upholstery is of fine hand-buffed leather. The enclosed types have textiles of fine, long-wearing qualities and the most appropriate patterns. It is believed that the appearance of these Hudson cars will commend itself without discussion, just as the quality of the chassis assures maximum performance, ability and long life. The satisfying results which Hudson Super-Six owners obtain from its use are assured because an exacting system of manufacture and inspection has been applied to each unit, and because the various units have been designed and fabricated to a single, high-grade standard of value. JORDAN “ADS” ARE JUDGED SNAPPIEST Edward S. Jordan, president of the Jordan Motor Car Co., who is credited with writing all his own advertising, has won a prize that he knew nothing about and wasn't even competing for—the $1000 offered by Field and Stream "for the most effective advertising built on the out-of-door appeal published in a national periodical in 1923." The publisher, E. F. Warner, says in his letter to Jordan: "In choosing yours, we feel that we have paid a deserved compliment to advertising that strikes a refreshing and original note, that is daringly vigorous and successfully appealing in its spirit, that surrounds its product with an atmosphere of polite affection." PERFORMANCE OF OAKLAND THRILLER When the veil was drawn for the Oakland 6-54 some months ago, the new car was not heralded as a racing machine. In short, it was not designed built primarily for speed. New less events since then have vealed the 6-54 in a new and co-plimentary light, and many stories that have come to Harry L. Turton, dealer for Oakland in this territory, bear witness to its remarkable flairness. The latest of these concerns experience of Arthur Chevrolet veteran motor speed demon builder of racing cars. Of course, when the 6-54 presented to the motor-loving public as the best all-round car in price class, a reasonable amount of speed was included along with power, dependability, economy appearance, advancements design and equipment. But it has become evident that when Oakland engineers designed the 6-54 for reliable and smooth performance, they did their work with such perfection that unusual speediness was thrown in for good measure. And, while few persons buy car for its ability to race man over the road with express-train swiftness, it is a marvelously爽 feeling to know that show occasion arise; the engine in frie of you will respond in speed tually without limit. That the Oakland will do that was again shown on the other when Mr. Crevrolet sent a steward 6-54 touring car over the dianapolis Speedway at the rate of 70 miles an hour.

Warner, says in his letter to Jordan: "In choosing yours, we feel that we have paid a deserved compliment to advertising that strikes a refreshing and original note, that is daringly vigorous and successfully appealing in its spirit, that surrounds its product with an atmosphere of seeling effectiveness that makes a mechanical contrivance breathe with a vivid personality—that, in a word, possesses unique seeling force. "We feel that the Jordan is making a very real contribution to present day advertising and we hope that so far as we may succeed in further focusing the attention of the advertising world on the fine advertising that you are doing, we ourselves have contributed to the art of building good advertisements. "Congratulations — and best wishes!" 38,000 MILES ON PARA-BELL TIRE Para-Bell tire mileages continue to break records. Now Roy Mendoza of the Reliable Tire Co. has come across a case of 38,000 miles on one of these chemically hardened castings. Image Cooper of Olive is the purchaser. He got it of Mendoza nearly two and one-half years ago and during that time wore out two sets of other tires. The tire, a 33 by 4 1-2, still has considerable mileage in it. AUTO HITS POLE Charles Hamilton, a negro of Los Angeles, yesterday ran amuck at the corner of Palm-st. and the state highway between Anaheim and Fullerton, and drove his Dodge into a telephone pole. He received a slight cut on the neck, and was taken to the Fullerton hospital for surgical attention. Well, then, let's call things of that kind "Ritale." The word "refined" is badly frayed, anyway. NEW BUICK HITS FANCY OF PUBLI The beautiful new standby Buick line, a sample of which we put on display this week at the showroom of the Motor Sales Co. Inc., was the center of admiration of many spectators this week. This is a lighter car, but it not a light six. Here are some of the measurement comparisons with the master six line: Three inch bore instead of 3 3-8 inches; wheel base of 314.3 inches instead of 120 inches; pressure tires, 31x4.95, instead of 32x5.77; eight models instead of fifteen. Other features common to both lines include, a one-piece windshield that can be lowered raised the same as a side window—one of the biggest convenience available on any car anywhere. The window can be elevated enough to permit good ventilation without draught, the same as done with the window of a modern office building, for example. The lines and four-wheel brakes are the same as those of the past year. A new type sun visor and an automatic windshield wiper are other conveniences. SULLIVAN CLEARS WAY FOR NEW CAR The demand for space for new cars, particularly Stars, is one of the main objects of the stock rushing sale now being conducted by the Appleby Motor Co., according to President F. F. Sullivan. Sullivan has a large variety of cars from a Peerless touring truck, cheap-Fords, all offered on exceptionally easy terms. All are in good operating condition, and exactly as represented extent of re-conditioning depending upon needs and what is worth while.

Traffic Act Declaring that Angelenos own more autos per capita than the people of any other city in the world, Miller McClintock of the Bureau of Municipal Research of Harvard university, this week in a speech delivered to the board of directors of the Los Angeles Traffic commission, called the present city traffic ordinance "archalic, inadequate and too greatly involved." It should be simplified and condensed. The streets of the city are too crowded and dangerous and the city is acquiring a "disagreeable reputation," the speaker added. New arteries of travel are demanded in his opinion. PUBLIC LIKES PATROL SERVICE Motor tourists in all parts of So.

Calif. are expressing high appreciation of the Highway Patrol Service inaugurated July 1 by the Auto Club of So. Calif. While this expansion of club activities is designed primarily for its tens of thousands of members, the work is of such character than automatically it aids every person using the roads. It is especially appreciated by the many tourists from outside the state, who must depend on friendly sign posts and word of mouth information to make their trip completely successful and enjoyable. The fleet of light trucks now daily patrolling the main travel arteries of this section are under the direction of O. W. Lewis, who for nine years has been identified with the Touring Bureau of the club. While definite duties were prescribed for the carefully selected drivers of these patrol trucks, it has been found that they have an almost unlimited field for usefulness. They are proving of value in temporary and unexpected congestion of traffic; in keeping highway surfaces free from broken glass and other dangerous substances; returning lost articles to club headquarters; in giving limited mechanical aid to motorists in distress; and in furnishing general information regarding directions, destinations, motor vehicle laws, official garages, filling stations, official hotels, and the other subjects that are or special value to motor tourists in unfamiliar territory. The new service also is proving of great value to various other departments of the organization, all of the activities of which contribute largely to community welfare. The service patrol drivers are able to act as valuable auxiliaries of the theft department. They also report instances of reckless driving, of dangerous developing on the highway, and note signs and flashers for efficiency and needed renewal. Officials of the club are receiving general commendation from all sections on the extension of this valuable service.

The city has been increasing the number of buttons, and the new ones are real, even if they do consist merely of a little white paint at the center of intersection.

The Tioga Pass is the only road crossing the Sierra which is used by any montainable number of Yosemite visitors. The Sonora Pass road branches off the central Tahoe-Tioga road at Juncan, approximately 15 miles north Bridgeport and 46 miles north Mono. It traverses Senora pass, which is only a few hundred feet lower than Tioga, the Sonora Pass elevation being 9624 metre. This road passes through Senora and Jamestown and connects with hte Big Oak Flat road Yosemite just below Chinese camp. This route is marvelously scenic and now that it is going to be in first-class condition, many motorsists who have hesitated athere about taking it will have chance to see some new High mountain scenery that is second none in the state.

Of "STUDE LIGHT The light six Studebaker line is more popular at the present time than ever before, according to Harry D. Riley, Northern Orange-co distributor, who ascribes the demand for this car mainly to the fact of its unique features. The latter Riley enumerates as follows: 1. More Timken bearings than any other light six within $1000 of its price. This bearing is the highest priced one made and is adjustable so that the wear can be taken up. 2. The chassis is free from vibration because the crankshaft is all of one piece, and the connecting rods are machined, which ensure equalized weight and the proper balance, while four main bearings are used for support. No other cars within $1000 of the price are machined as completely. 3. No greasing or oiling of universal joints is necessary. "I don't think of another car of which this is true," says Riley. 4. The motor of the light six Studebaker has the angle valve, which engineers claim to be the nearest perfection of any devised. 5. The body is of baked enamel. FIRST OF THE NEW BLUEBIRDS ARRIVES The new Overland bluebird, the first one of which reached W. R. Schanhals on the Fourth, is the prettiest piece of work the factory has yet turned out.
