AUGUST FINES EQUALTOTAL OF 1923 All Records Broken by City Recorder Kuchel Past Month What Judge Charley Kuchel calls "the puzzle" as to what happened in the City Recorder's court during 1923 and part of 1922 was increased the past month, wigen Kuchel in this court alone collected $2831 in fines, mostly for automobile offences, a sum exceeding by $157 the grand total of 1923. It exceeded also by nearly 100 per cent the previous record made by Kuchel and Ahlborn in May. There were 206 cases of which all but two cases of drunkenness and five of possession of liquor were auto violations. The fines Pedestrian Has the Right of Way In the long strips of pavement marked by the yellow lines at the principal street crossings, the pedestrian has the right of way. Chief of Police Bert Moody admitted this when asked whether the same rule would be followed in Anaheim as elsewhere. The new arrangement makes it possible for women shoppers especially to cross the streets more easily and safely. Doughnuts Require Changes in Auto Despite the myth about mid-summer slumps, the sale of Hudson and Essex motor cars has gone ahead with spectacular success since the bringing out of the new balloon-tired models, according to Manager G. W. Smith of the H. R. Grove Motor Co., Hudson-Essex dealers. "The cushioning effect of the tires from rough spots in the road, and the protection which the coaches give from dust and summer showers account for this demand," he continued. "The combination of closed car comforts at an open car price and the failure of the co-headlight drive to mature cept sporadically does that the drive is off, acc members of the state squad.

It exceeded also by nearly 100 per cent the previous record made by Kuchel and Ahlborn in May. There were 206 cases of all but two cases of drunkenness and five of possession of liquor were auto violations. The fines for these seven cases totaled approximately $1200 hearing $1621 for auto offences, which alone is greater than the total fine for all offences during any previous month in the history of the City Recorder's court. Even in the second half of 1922 fines totaled only $281 less than for the single past month. "What became of the cases?" Kuchel asked. "The police were active, and pleading guilty is the rule." In May, 1922, when Kuchel first took office a similar jump in fines took place, the total being $480, nearly as much as in the entire previous four months, while in June, 1922, fines amounted to $1080, the best total on record previous to May of that year. Kuchel wasn't harsh and isn't now but he was too harsh to suit the then powers that be. As a matter of fact the large collections have been due mostly to the number of offenses, not to heavy fines, which ranged from $5 to $25. Officer Pickell was an efficient man and so is Officer Hurley, but Pickell's good work failed to snow in City Recorder's court. "The cushioning effect of the fires from rough spots in the road, and the protection which the coaches give from dust and summer showers account for this demand," he continued. "The combination of closed car comforts at an open car price and the amazing case of riding which the new tires have brought about constitute a buying appeal which the public really welcomes. "This summer season has been one of the most consistent and successful periods we have had over a long period of time. It simply goes to show that the public wants to buy, and will buy, whenever product and prices are right. The idea of a summer business slump is something which business communities often bring on themselves. The best business men are now doing a good business, and are unanimous that the second half of 1924 will be better than the first. "A word about balloon tires: Some motorists, who have had experience chiefly with 'balloons' which have simply been added to old-type cars, are saying that they doubt if the 'balloons' will ever be a success. If they would ride in the Essex or Hudson, they would change their minds. Both these cars are now of the right design to take care of all the operating conditions which the 'balloons' bring about.

In Riverside County and southern Orange county, a good flight of doves has been reported along the Santa Ana river above Olive and along the lower Santiago Creek, around Slaton and Los Alamitos and in Tucson canyon between Corona and Ejinore. Needless to say, sunflower patches are good spots to watch. The season opens thrustout California on Monday. The birds are reported to be plentiful in San Diego County along the San Dieguito river between Lake Hodges and Del Mar. The San Luis Rey river between Bonsall and Pala and Warner’s Hot Springs also are likely neighborhoods early in the season. Not including national forests—Santa Barbara, Angeles and Cleveland—San Bernardino, Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Kern and Tulare counties should provide good sport.

VENTURA GAS, OIL IN NON-STOP RUN Piling up more than 15,000 miles in 30 days, the Willys-Knight non-stop car is making a mileage record on gasoline and oil which is gratifying to the officials of the local branch of the Willys-Knight Pacific Co. The non-stop run is being made on Ventura gasoline and Ventura motor oil. When the 15,000 mile mark was reached last week, careful calculation indicated that the Willys-Knight had averaged 19.4 miles per gallon of Ventura gasoline and 3322 miles per gallon of Ventura motor oil. The motor has run continuously since July 28, when the car started on its long grind. About three hours out of each 24 is consumed in standing with the motor idling at the various Willys-Knight dealers, in changing drivers and in fuelling the car, so that only 21 hours are left for actual driving. If the Willys-Knight succeeds in breaking the non-stop record, the achievement will make a unique victory for Ventura gasoline, as the existing non-stop mileage record which the Willys-Knight has set out to break was made on Ventura gasoline. This run was finished over eight years ago—in January, 1916, to be exact—when Mayor Sebastian of Los Angeles, pulled the ignition switch on a car that had piled up over 22,000 miles on Ventura gasoline without stopping the motor.

EVENT DURING AUGUST Arrives 95 Vehicles in 10 Minutes Pass Ninety-five motor vehicles, including 10 trucks and three buses, passed Harg L. Turton's certified motor car market in 10 minutes—from 11:10 to 11:20 a.m. Tuesday of this week—according to Herb Davis, manager. Traffic at that was light because of the elections throut the state and perhaps the hour chosen. If any error was made, Davis intimated, it was in under-estimating rather than over-estimating the total. If a car going each way passed the market every five seconds, 240 cars would pass in 10 minutes.
