ORANGE COUNTY RECORD HUNTING TO BEGIN NEXT SUNDAY Deer and Dove Season To Open; Quadrupeds Plentiful Dove season in all districts in California opens on Sept. 1, 1924. Deer season opens in Districts 1, 1½, 4½, 23, 24, 25 and 26 Sept. 1 and closes Oct. 15. In District 4 Sept. 18 is the opening and Oct. 15 the closing date. The Los Angeles-co supervisors have just passed an ordinance closing the entire county for hunting and smoking. Owners of land may hunt on their own property. Inyo and Mono National Forests New Willys Is Announced Here A new Willys-Knight model with a motor which is as near the vibrationless point at any speed as a motor can be is announced by W. R. Schanhals, local distributor. The car has been driven 35 miles an hour in second gear and 65 in high gear without the slightest shaking of the engine. Its smoothness, in fact, says Schanhals, far exceeds that of many light six cars. The Lanchester balance on the crankshaft and change of pistons have done the work. There is also an extraordinary amount of power in high gear. Schanhals already has one of the cars on display. RILEY DISPLAYS DURADERO FINISH Harry D. Riley this week placed on the floor of his garage the first use of a car with the Duradero finish, which, according to Riley, is guaranteed for the life of the car. The finish is a rich blue, dull, like that of so many of the new paint jobs on the corrugated roofs. Dove season in all districts in California opens on Sept. 1, 1924. Deer season opens in Districts 1, 1½, 4½, 23, 24, 25 and 26 Sept. 1 and closes Oct. 15. In District 4 Sept. 16 is the opening and Oct. 15 the closing date. The Los Angeles-co supervisors have just passed an ordinance closing the entire county for hunting and smoking. Owners of land may hunt on their own property. Inyo and Mono National Forests are located in Inyo and Mono-con and the deer season opens there Sept. 1. Reports from all over this district are more deer than for years due to dry season bringing the deer down from the high peaks to the grass and water in the lower meadows. Fires in the Sequoia Forest have also driven the deer north into this district. Good shooting should be had out of Little Lake, Cowan Station, Diancha, Lone Pine, Independence, Big Pine and June Lake. Pismo clam season is always open in San Luis Obispo-co, the limit is 15 clams per person, and must be over 4-3-4 inches in diameter. Many clams were taken away from motorists the past week on account of being under the legal size and having more than 15 per person. German chemists have succeeded in making imitation benzine from lignite coal tar. RILEY DISPLAYS DURADERO FINISH Hirry D. Riley this week placed on the floor of his garage the first used car with the Duradero finish, which, according to Riley, is guaranteed for the life of the car. The finish is a rich blue, dull, like that of so many of the new paint jobs on the expensive cars, and very durable-looking. Most of the better cars have been moved to the main garage. Three were sold during the first two hours Monday morning. Used light six Studebakers particularly are in demand. 8 CARS IN WEEK BOUGHT OF MANN Six new Dodge and two used cars were sold last week by Charley Mann, local distributor of this car and Graham trucks, which use the Dodge motor. It looks at present as tho August would prove to be an unusually good business month, says Mann. At a temperature more than 420 degrees below zero scientists of the United States Bureau of Standards have succeeded in solidifying hydrogen.

Several the models already are here. The Chrysler, named from the evident of the Maxwell-Chalmers corporation, is the new car of their price launched several years ago. INSTRIBUTING PRIZES TO KIDDIES World's Champion To Appear The world's champion back stroke swimmer, Warren Keeloha, who recently at Venice broke another record, that of 100 yards back stroke in a 50-foot tank, and other members of the Hawaiian Olympic swimming team will appear for the last time in America at Lake Arrowhead tomorrow. The two big events Sunday are the Third Annual Mile Hi Swimming Championship and the Junior National High Diving Championship. One hundred yard swims with the back stroke, breast stroke and free style will be demonstrated by the Hawaiians.

O'Connor and William Fair; and members of the Los Angeles A. C.; and the Holborow Swimming Club. Studebaker Garage Repairs On Soon The reconstruction of Harry D. Riley's Studebaker garage at So. NEW ROAD TO CANYON, PLAN Short Cut Via Yorba Linda Only One of Several Auto owners in many parts of the county will be saved thousands of dollars annually and congestion at many points will be relieved by the construction of sever- eral important short cuts now being planned by the office of the County Superintendent of Highways. Tentative plans, for example, have been prepared for the extension of the boblevard to beyond Yorba Linda and on to Santa Ana canyon, a distance roughly of four miles.

INQUIRIES GROW FOR NEW MODELS Many inquiries regarding the Easter 1940 Hudson cars have been coming in this week from new prospects, according to George W. Smith, manager of the Anaheim branch of the H.R. Grove Motor Co. In fact, the interest shown has been so considerable that a real improvement in business appears to be here. The bigger value of the new models is responsible, in Smith's opinion. Rose Camplin, Smith's assistant and Anaheim's first saleswoman of automobiles, is reaching many women purchasers whose problems she is peculiarly able to solve. "Everybody tells me they never saw a woman auto salesman," said Miss Camplin. The remarkable value of the Hudson coach was stressed by one prospect—the car sells at the same price as the phaeton. Another feature noticed is that of the easy steering made possible by the changes in the gear to suit the new full balloon tires that come as regular equipment. WHEELS ARE GIVEN AWAY WITH TIRES Four handsome wheels with oak finish and five rims are being given away free by Roy Mondoza with every set of five Para-Bell balloon tires and tubes purchased. Last week Mondoza sold two complete sets of tires—10 tires and tubes. Mondoza is giving a wrench away with the purchase also. These oak wheels are as attractive as any which have appeared on cars here, even expensive cars. The wheels are put together and "tired" without cost. The Para-Bell balloon tire is as good as the standard, says Menorah. Auto owners in many parts of the county will be saved thousands of dollars annually and congestion at many points will be relieved by the construction of several important short cuts now being planned by the office of the County Superintendent of Highways. Tentative plans, for example, have been prepared for the extension of the boblevard to beyond Yorba Linda and on to Santa Ana canyon, a distance roughly four miles. With the construction beginning early next month—if the bid is accepted on Sept. 2 as scheduled—of the cutoff from the State Highway via Cedar street, Brea, it will be possible for La Habrans, etc., who propose to drive thrue the canyon, to go by one route and return by the other or vice versa. At present the pavement ends at Yorba Linda. Some rights of way still are to be obtained for this new paying, which probably will be of asphalt-concrete. Another cutoff will be furnished by a good gravel road extending from the Anaheim road, following the bend at the bridge after coming down Bixby grade, to the Huntington Beach road. This is really an extension of the Garden Grove road. E.S.Bruce will start work on this improvement next Monday. The proposed paving with 18 feet of asphalt, seven to nine inches thick, of West 17th street, Santa Ana to Westminster will provide a short cut to Seal Beach. Bids for this also will be opened Sept. 2. The county can save money now by putting in wide gravel shoulders on say an 18-foot pavement instead of building a pavement 24 feet wide, the cost being three cents per square foot of six inch thickness before rolling against 20 cents for concrete or asphalt. The bridge over the bay at Anaheim Landing, Seal Beach, is finished, but the filling in still is to be done. Regarding further purchases of calcium chloride solution with which to sprinkle dirt roads to keep the dust down, the county road heads, while thoroly convinced of the value and practicality of the chemical, prefer to wait for a few months to see how long the solution remains potential. The solution has more than made good on Carolina street from Palm street to Golden avenue north of Placentia. 3181 AT SHOWING OF NASH IN S.F. The reception which the new Nash models received was marked almost everywhere, especially in San Francisco. Detailed reports Four handsome wheels with oak finish and five rims are being given away free by Roy Mendoza with every set of five Para-Bell balloon tires and tubes purchased. Last week Mendoza sold two complete sets of tires—10 tires and tubes. Mendoza is giving a wrench away with the purchase also. These oak wheels are as attractive as any which have appeared on cars here, even expensive cars. The wheels are put together and "tired" without cost. The Para-Bell balloon tire is as good as the standard, says Mendoza, with an extra rib tread. Mendoza expects to sell lots of them. ECHOPHONE TAKEN ON BY R. V. JENSEN The Echophone Model V3 receiver, which Robert V. Jenski well known ignition and radio expert, has taken on at the big shop at So, Los Angeles-st and Broadway, is so simple to operate, says Jenski, that even one totally unfamiliar with the radio can secure splendid results over both the short and long distances. Two stages of audio frequency amplification make Model V3 ideal for use either with headsets or loud speaker. The machine is designed for operation with regular antenna. To listen to the Echophone is like attending the theater, enjoying the actual music of a fine band or orchestra or seeing an opera. The churches also provide programs well worth tuning in on. The receiver is so selective that one's favorite program can be enjoyed and all others shut out. Even the interference of broadcast stations in the vicinity can be blocked. Of German invention is a secret cold process for making porcelain that is not kiln fired. The point of a new stylus for making carbon copies consists of a steel ball that rolls over paper without tearing it. 3181 AT SHOWING OF NASH IN S.F. The reception which the new Nash models received was marked almost everywhere, especially in San Francisco. Detailed reports from other large cities have not reached here. The Pacific Nash Motor Co., San Francisco distributors, issued this telegram, according to the Nash-Boyes Co: "Had formal opening yesterday. Our showrooms was visited by 3181 persons and everyone wonderfully enthusiastic. Competitors are saying we cannot be putting quality in car and sell it at price quoted. In other words they are very much worried. Over 25 orders taken, which is for runner of a tremendous business. Our dealers experience same reception and results everything fine, and unquestionably the Nash has arrived and this is going to be its biggest year." DEMAND BEGINS FOR CLOSED CARS Sid McGraw sold 14 cars and one tractor during the first 20 days of August. Demands for closed cars are beginning, with the opening of cooler weather, and Ford owners are bringing their open cars in to trade for the others. The truck business also is growing. On Thursday a representative of the Ruxstell Sales & Manufacturing Co. conducted a demonstration of the Ruxstell axle with a four-speed Ruxstell equipped Ford. Scientists who have studied mosquitoes have decided that they attack, in order, horses, cows, dogs and pigs in preference to human beings. SIXTH IN CALIFORNIA NIGHT RACING AT ASCOT TONIGHT Duray and Other Stars To Begin Fortnightly Speed Scraps LOS ANGELES, Aug. 23.—The inaugural night racing meet at Ascot Speedway scheduled for Saturday night will introduce to the Pacific coast for the first time the spectacle of the dare-devil drivers whirling around a track under the glare of artificial light. It is the intention of the Ascot management to stage twice-monthly night racing programs to follow the Saturday night event. A three-unit power generating plant has been installed at Ascot with thousands of high-efficiency engines. 10 Smiles Here; No—No Apoligies Signs on the back of fillyers do not have a monopoly of all the pungency and humor of motorists, according to some of the warnings voluntarily posted in this section, as noted by scouts of the A. C. S. C. Altho 115,000 signs are scattered throughout this territory, occasional special warnings are tacked up and there is food for thought in most of them. A few of the latest encountered are as follows: "Slow Down, Look Before You Weep," "Stop — Look — and Live." "This is a Good Road. It will Cost You Money to Burn It Up." "Don't Speed. It is 'Good Morning, Judge,' here as heretofore." "Hurrying to the Office is no Exercise for Speeding. The Court House is Just Around the Corner." "Prepare to Meet Thy God." "Thou Shalt Not Kill." "Look Out. You May Meet a Fool Around the Corner." "Don't Covet Your Neighbor's Side of the Road." "Don't Kill a Child."

Registrations were given in the LOS ANGELES, Aug. 23.—The inaugural night racing meet at Ascot Speedway scheduled for Saturday night will introduce to the Pacific coast for the first time the spectacle of the dare-devil drivers whirling around a track under the glare of artificial light. It is the intention of the Ascot management to stage twice-monthly night racing programs to follow the Saturday night event. A three-unit power generating plant has been installed at Ascot with thousands of high-powered lights around the grounds and track. Porty-two racing drivers and 12 motor-bike riders have been entered in the nine races on the program. Racing fans who have witnessed the practice of the drivers and riders on the few nights when the track was illuminated declare that night racing will prove the most spectacular brand of motor competition in the history of the sport. Loon Duray, world's dirt track champion; Jack Petticord, Canadian national champion; Eddie Meyer, Redlands cyclone; Floyd Roberts, Cliff Berzere, Frank Lockhart, and other Ascot favorites are among those who have been nominated. The Thomas A. Edison Sweep-takes at a distance of 15 laps will be the feature race of the evening, and the Italian Colony Victory Crown, now held by Leon Duray, who won the coveted trophy from DePalma two months ago, will be contested for over the one-lap dash route. The Moonshine Stakes will also be a feature race. The first race will start at 8:30 o'clock. 18 CARS SOLD IN 3 WEEKS BY TURTON Harry L. Turton sold two more Oaklands this week, a touring to Harry S. Doble of Newport Beach and sedan to R. M. Moore of Anaheim. These make five new cars sold in August to the 22nd.

At Open Car Cost ESSEX COACH Built by Hudson Genuine Balloon Tires Genuine Balloon Tires Standard Equipment The outstanding buying choice this year is "Closed Car Comforts at Open Car Cost." The Coach alone provides them. It is exclusive to Hudson and Essex. Everyone knows it gives highest closed car value. And because no other type or car shares its position it is the largest selling 6-cylinder closed car in the world. Genuine Balloon Tires Enhance World's Greatest Value Naturally when balloon tires had established their superiority Hudson and Essex would adopt them. They are now standard equipment. They add an even greater measure of riding ease, steadiness and good looks to the notable values of the Coach. In workmanship, materials and design both Hudson and Essex are of one quality—built in the same factories, under the same patents. Your choice between them will rest solely on the price you want to pay. You see the Coach everywhere in increasing numbers. Everyone wants closed car comforts. They will no longer accept half-utility when all-year usefulness and comforts cost no more in the Coach. Consider how the growing trend to closed cars affects resale values. The diminishing demand for open cars means far faster depreciation in that type. As the wanted type, the Coach maintains exceptionally high resale value. So Why Buy an Open Car?
