DESERT AND GRADE NEVER HALT STAR OAKLAND, Sept. 6.—Let those owners of lightweight cars who hesitate about making long distance trips to national parks because they are dubious of the manner in which they will reach home consider the case of Harrison Ryker, Berkeley Star car owner and newspaper photographer, who returned this week from a round trip to Yellowstone National Park in his Star standard touring car, negotiating 3202 miles on schedule time throutout. Ryker pointed the radiator of his car on the Lincoln highway one morning and when he had reached Yellowstone six and a half days had elapsed. After stopping over in the famous nature wonder spot for two days he reached his home in another six and a half days, driving within the speed limit at all times, both going and coming, and having plenty of time to see all the well-known scenic places en route. His report states that the Star car functioned mechanically right throutout and there was not a grade in the lot that balked the heavily loaded automobile. Ryker reached Yellowstone by traveling to the west entrance by way of the Lincoln highway. This route took him from Oakland to Carson City, Nev., and then across the desert wasteland where the stamina of the car was given a thoro test. In this region, sand and chuckholes proved little resistant to the Star car, while for the greater part the Lincoln highway was in better condition than other desert thorofares. The Kingabury grade to Carson valley found many cars gasping for water, but the Star went right on over on what Ryker termed the worst grade on the Pacific coast. The Star car carried three persons and was thoroughly equipped for camping. Two tent, one double bed, one cot, two mattresses, a box of groceries and all incidentals, and three suitcases comprised the baggage. This heavy load made the Star car earn its 6-Year-Old Car On Repairless Trip M. J. Bradley, prominent Anahelder, recently brought his 1918 Buick to the local garage of the Motor Sales Co., Inc., and asked the mechanics whether he or his sons could venture to drive an old car like that across the country. An examination showed there was practically nothing wrong with the car. Now Bradley has received word from his sons in Boston that the only replacement needed in the course of the transcontinental trip was a new fan belt. One of Bradley's sons is studying medicine, the other law in Boston. Mrs. Bradley accompanied her sons. NEW BALANCER NO EXPERIMENT The Lanchester balancer with which the Willys-Knights are all now equipped, was tested out carefully before being adopted, says the company in a statement to the Los Angeles distributors. President Willys placed Willys-Knight sedans, equipped with Lanchester balancers, in the hands of such engineering authorities as Glenn Curtiss of the Curtiss Airplane Co., Hiram P. Maxim of the Maxim Silencer Co., Maurice Olley, production engineer of the Rolls-Royce Co., and W. E. Best of the Remington Cash Register Co. After rigorous driving, this quartet of experts rendered hearty approbation of the new equipment. In his statement Mr. Maxim declared enthusiastically that in his opinion the Willys-Knight was smoother than most of the six and eight-cylinder cars on the road. From 15 to 50 miles an hour with absolutely no vibration was their remarkable experience. In addition, certain changes The Kingabury grade to Carson valley found many cars gasping for water, but the Star went right on over on what Hyde termed the worst grade on the Pacific coast. The Star car carried three persons and was thoroughly equipped for camping. Two tent, one double box one cot, two mattresses, a box of groceries and all incidentals, and three suitcases comprised the baggage. This heavy load made the Star car earn its reputation every mile of the way, yet the car did not disappoint the occupants at any time. Upon return to Berkeley everyone in the party was of the opinion that long trips need never be feared in a car that is built to take the grades and withstand the strain of "noads" that are a mere series of chuckholes. They were all tremendously enthusiastic about the performance of the automobile and have already laid plans for another long trip before the rains set in and slow up long distance motoring tours. FABRIC TIRE PASSING? Fabric tire production and shipments reached the lowest points in their history in June, when only 598,740 were made and 752,130 moved according to the current issue of Tires. "The days of this type of casing as a factor in the industry are rapidly drawing to a close," declares this publication. Try a Classified Ad for results. CHRYSLER TOUCH SEEN IN MAXWELL The practical elimination of vibration and many touches of Chrysler engineering in every phase of driving and riding mark the new Maxwell, says Branch Manager Follette of the Frank P. Taggart Co., Maxwell, Chrysler and Chevrolet distributors in No. Orange-co. Maxwell is now the complete realization of the high standard toward which the new organization began to build three years ago. The good Maxwell now is the leader in the four-cylinder class, declare its makers. The wedge shaped cushion placed behind the back will aid materially in resting the driver and keep him from becoming tired on a long trip. Because of its construction, the wedge shaped cushion supports the back in the place where it begins to first tire—a laudable feature that an ordinary cushion does not hive. The V-style cushion also aids women and persons of short stature to reach the pedals with more ease, thereby adding to driving safety. The cushion is but one of the many items that is being featured by the Western Auto Supply Co. during the special "Dollar Week" event that is now being held throughout their chain of Western stores.

Los Angeles St. Phone 799 Anaheim PALATIAL TRUCK BEARS RACE HORSE Intent on providing greater comfort and safety for his famous race horses and show horses, Adolphus Busch of Anheuser Busch, Inc., St. Louis has designed and built a palatial motor truck body which is attracting endless attention wherever it appears. Mounted on a Graham Brothers truck chassis, the Busch body has all the appearance of a quaint house on wheels. Equipped with four French windows on each side, finished in the finest wood and decorated in attractive colors, this unique vehicle would hardly be taken for a stable. Even more elaborate are the interior appointments—most elaborate at least, from the viewpoint of the equine occupant. The body is lined throut with rubber mattresses. These mattresses are filled with air, and the horse stands protected and supported by them on both sides. Even the front and rear bars are covered with this mattress padding, protecting the horse from rubs and other possible injuries to the hips. A water tank, lockers, shelves, rack and other compartments, are provided. To assure ample elasticity and thereby protect the horse from jars, the floor is made of cork. A specially constructed ramp or chute which is used to lead the horse into the truck, is stored in the body after the loading is completed. "Mr. Busch considers this the ideal means of transporting valuable horses," said O. P. Doerr, general sales manager of Anheuser Busch, Inc., "because it gives them absolute security. In the transportation of high-priced and high-spirited animals, there is a constant danger of slipping, falling and side-jumping. Splints, spavins, stock legs and other serious ailments which might ruin the horse for racing or show purposes, often result. "This horse transport was Gospel lesson for the day.

More than 1,000,000 cars were manufactured during the first six months this year at the American plants alone, a record figure, and more than 2,000,000 will be the year's total. The new Fordor sedan has a rear view mirror, dashlight and windshield wiper, but these accessories will not be placed on any other model. Illustrating the saving on freight rates, etc., that the Ford Motor Co. achieves by means of its assembling plants, McGraw said that at the Los Angeles branch factory, the bodies themselves were assembled from the Mr. Busch considers this the ideal means of transporting valuable horses," said O.

In the transportation of high-priced and high-spirited animals, there is a constant danger of slipping, falling and side-jumping. Spills, spavins, stock legs and other serious alliments which might ruin the horse for racing or show purposes, often result. This horse transport was evolved after months of the most careful study and should be owned by all racehorse men, horse-show men and breeders, to haul their animals to race tracks and railroad stations. For short hauls the horse may be transported in the van the entire distance."

EVANGELICAL CHURCH— TIRE DEALERS SAVE SELVES THOUSANDS (Continued from First Page) slaughtered, because of the readjustment in demand caused by balloon tires. Recently one of the leading firms, which found its production double requirements on the 34 by 4 actually sold these tires at $12.50 wholesale to certain local dealers. Dealers repeatedly have had to take losses anyhow, because of unexpected cuts in price by manufacturers. If there are any more declines in tire prices it won't be because of over-production. During the first six months of this year, according to the latest figures available, the output fell off approximately 1,500,000 units. The figures are those of the Rubber Ass'n of America. Pneumatic tire production amounted to 18,901,464 casing, both cord and fabric, against 20,367,228 last year during the corresponding period. The report represents 75 per cent of the industry's business. Passengers leaving over the U.P. from Anaheim for points east were announced today as follows: Miss Ruth White, Boone, Ia., and Chicago; W.C. Suffern, of Orange, Chicago; F.

CAR QUALITY IS NO GUESSWORK What the experienced motorist wants in a motor car is embraced in a group of qualities, most of which have their origin in the mechanical features. Therefore, power, performance, silence, economy and dependability are best assured by a mechanism of advanced design, because it is just along these lines that engineering progress is being made, says the Oakland Motor Car Co. Out of an experience in building six-cylinder automobiles continuously since 1912, Oakland engineers have created a motor car that represents the biggest dollar for dollar value you can buy. They have built it of such individual features as "honed" cylinders, originally developed by Oakland semi-steel pistons, special-type combustion chambers, special alloy steel valves of the finest type obtainable, silent chain timing drive, patented interchangeable main bearings of the costly airplane type, single-plate clutch, new type easy-shifting transmission, etc. It is the sum of these features as balanced and kit together in Oakland's laboratories and workshops, that makes Oakland power and speed—Oakland riding case—Oakland gas, oil, and tire mileages—Oakland dependability and durability—superior to these qualities in any other car at or near the Oakland price range.
