TAKES BACK DePALMA IN FOLD LOS ANGELES. Aug. 9—Since the announcement of his re-instatement by the American Automobile Association contest board, Ralph DePalma has been the recipient of hundreds of congratulations. From practically every point in the United States the veteran Italian speed demon has received telegrams, many of them coming from men high in the automotive industry as well as from prominent figures in the world of sport. While DePalma's re-instatement takes place immediately, he must pay his fine before he drives his first A.A.A. sanctioned contest. This fine, it was pointed out by Val Haresnape, member of the Contest Board for the Pacific Coast, is the stiffest ever levied against a driver by the board for "jumping" the Three A's and piloting a car under the "outlaw" banner, as the International Motor Association is considered. Up until January of this year Ralph drove only in A.A.A. sanctioned events in this country, but with the opening of the Ascot dirt track he was given a legislative contract and accepted on account of financial conditions. Ascot is considered an "outlaw" track as it races under the I.M. C.A. rules. However, with the expiration of this contract De Palma waited about a month and then applied to Haresnape for re-instatement. Among those who congratulated DePalma were Eddie Hearne, 1923 national champion. ACCESSORIES BILL CUT IN SOUTH Although the new revenue bill passed by congress did not bring all of the reductions hoped for in motor vehicle taxes, a considerable saving will result to southland motorists. The new federal tax bill brings a reduction of one-half in the tax levied upon tires, tubes and accessories. Where this tax was formerly five per cent, it is now two and one-half per cent. The five per cent tax on new cars and automobile parts remains unchanged. While the reduction apparently is small, the aggregate will amount to a considerable sum for So. Calif. motorists. California's tire bill amounts to approximately $75,000,000 annually; and it pays additional millions for accessories, so that the tax reduction to all motorists in the state will... Club Announces Some New Do’s, Don’ts To Help Cut Accidents and Aid Traffic Although greater efforts than ever before are being made to protect motorists and pedestrians alike on the highways, there are still a large number of unnecessary traffic accidents. Many rules have been suggested, and the public safety department of the Auto Club of So. Calif. believes that observance of the old fashioned "golden rule" will go a long way toward making the highways safe. From the many suggestions for safe driving, the following are regarded as so important that they have been called the ten commandments of driving. They are: 1. Drive on the right side of the road; it’s just as good as the left. 2. Slow down when approaching a cross road; it is nearly as dangerous as a railroad crossing. 3. Look out for children. You never can tell what they will do, and you are always in the wrong if you hit one. 4. Try to help instead of hinder the traffic officer; he is there for your good and it’s got a tough job. 5. Be sure that your "dimmers" really dim; it’s no joke driving into a blinding glare, as you probably know. 6. Read and obey the warning signs; they are not set up as ornaments. 7. If you feel you’ve got to speed—do it where it won’t kill anybody but yourself. 8. When making mind repairs, stop where your car may be seen from both directions; therefore you may stop longer than you anticipate. 9. Speeding around corner is a straight route to the hospital. Don’t race past a stopped start car. Some day the jury may all it manslaughter. 10. Use discretion. The fact that you had the right of way won't bring anybody back to life least of all yourself.

USED CAR PRICES UPWARD When new cars inclined toward higher price levels, used cars will follow suit, says Herb Davis, manager of Harry L. Turton's certified motor car market. Demands for good used cars have been increasing and the supply of good cars on hand has been growing steadily less. Serviceable cars are going well. or, Gets Pat on B for Good Work Heavier fines for auto traffic violations are threatened by Judge Charley Kuchel Recorder and Justice, until form is shown during the month. During July Kuchel's fines, he declared today, equiv those of Judges Allhorn Brown, his predecessors, most of the period they served but that was due to the number of fines, not their amounts. Kuchel is in a peculiar tion, he explained. If fines too heavy, the city would be a bad name so that it would shunned by motorists.
