SATURDAY, JANUARY 3, 1925 TRAFFIC FINES HERE IGNITION MEN HERE ARE SWAMPED Sale of Lenses and Headlight Adjusting Reach Huge Volume The change to the new headlight lenses on cars not yet properly equipped brought a rush of business to local ignition shops during the first three days of this week, while the accessories stores also did a wonderful business. Manager J. J. Hunt, of the Western Auto Supply Co.'s local store, declared there was a immediate demand for the legal lanes, particularly on Wednesday. Tests of existing headlights were common, even when lenses and other lighting devices met the existing law, and lights were found in worse condition than at and time since the last big drive was staged by the state or county traffic officers, according to George H. Ennis, A. Bevillard, of the Anaheim Ignition Depot, and others. They and R. V. Jensen, B.J.

Cox, the late famous jurist, was feared more, or whether elimination of the speed trap made prosecution more difficult, nevertheless the speeding cases to come are creased approximately one-third in 1924 over those of the previous year. Last year 1923 was cited into Judge Cox's court; this year only 850. A decrease in criminal cases to come into this court also was recorded, the loss being approximately 20 per cent. Don’t Give Tires Too Much Ozone Most people inflate their tires too much, and thereby decrease the comfort of driving, says James the Vulvanizer, who declares that the discovery of the lower pressures possible without doing the tire harm is responsible for the balloon tire. Of course under-inflation is bad as well as over-inflation, James added. Lower pressure means a greater thickness of tube. The tube if inflated too much becomes too thin and less resistant, says James. Work has been begun on the erection of a group of artificial lakes on a Calabrian plateau to supply electric power to southern Italy and Sicily and the first central station will be in operation next year.

C. points to these facts to show that business conditions are on the upelimb in and about Anaheim. Dillworth's district comprises a territory of roughly 400 square miles, including Anaheim, Olive, Santa Ana canyon to the county line, Atwood, Richfield, Stanton, Cypress, Los Alamitos the territory northward to Orangesthorpe and southward to the County Hospital. Now Garden Grove has been 1200 Cars Pass Center in Hour More than 100 cars in five minutes passed the intersection of Center and Los Angeles-site on a recent day just before Christmas, when shopping was active, according to a count made. The hour was 2:48 to 2:53 p.m. At this rate traffic amounted to 1200 cars per hour or 14,400 in twelve hours. Undoubtedly traffic during six hours of the 12, however, was only half as light, but even so the showing made was amazing. Accidents to Boys On Bicycles Grow The recent death of a Santa Monica school boy whose body was crushed beneath the wheels of a truck to which he was "hanging-on" while riding his bicycle, brought a general warning to school children against "hooking" rides behind automobiles or trucks. Police officers in the various cities are doing their best to cooperate with the Parent-Teacher's Association and the Auto Club of So Calif. in discouraging the practice of youngsters riding bicycles in using moving vehicles for their propelling power. The casualty records show that a high percentage of accidents result from this cause. Frequently the offending child is hidden from the view of APPROXIMATE SUMS $1000 AND $1,350 City Recorder's Court Figures vs. Justice's County Seat Fines for traffic violations in the city recorder's court during December amounted to approximately $1,000, according to Judge Charley Kuchel, who compared his record today to that of justice's court in Santa Ana to show the more general law enforcement here. The total of the recorder's court for the month was $2658, if which some $1500 was in booze and some $150 in fines for disturbing the peace. The justice's court in Santa Ana which covers perhaps two-thirds of the county's population, reported only $3500 in fines the past month all told. Figuring the percentage in traffic fines as the same there as here the total would be only $1,300, compared wit $1,200 here. These are approximate figures. Because of the laxity, until recently, at least in prohibition en... New Chevrolet Models Announced A new Chevrolet—more beautiful in body lines, more roomy and comfortable, with a host of new mechanical and body features—was announced yesterday by A. B. Miner, No. Orange-co dealer. The new cars come in five body types, touring, roadster, coach, coupe and sedan, and are being shown for the first time at the New York show. There is hardly a feature of the Chevrolet that is not new, improved or re-designed, while most of these features are of the type and quality characteristic of higher priced cars. The following outstanding features among others are to be found on these new cars: All models have full streamline bodies, with refinements in design which make them the most beautiful cars Chevrolet has ever produced. New clutch of the dry plate disc type, completely enclosed with flywheel. New axles—rear axle is entirely new of banjo type construction and with one-piece pressed steel housing. New springs of the semi-elliptical type, longer and easier riding. New and heavier channel steel frame 38 inches longer, with five sturdy cross members. New improvements in the already famous Chevrolet motor, such as heavier crankshaft with larger connecting rod bearings, longer and larger center main bearings, shorter intake manifold bringing the carburetor closer to the cylinders, insuring better carburetion and easier starting; rocker arms and valves completely enclosed. New Harrison radiator shell of highly polished, non-rusting airplane metal. All bodies finished in Duco, in beautiful colors. All open models have re-designed windshield, with very large upper panel to permit unobstructed vision. A motor truck designed to run on railroads as well as highways, having flanges inside the tires. Also is fitted with a pony truck which, when lowered to the rails, locks the steering mechanism. Question: How is carbon formed by lubricating oil, and is it free in the oil? Answer: The chemical makeup of a lubricating oil is a combination of two elements, hydrogen and carbon, in various proportions and in different chemical relations. There are over 100,000 different compounds of these two elements found in the various petroleum oils and petroleum products. Neither of these elements is free in the oil, except in very minute quantities. This free carbon will have little or nothing to do with the carbon deposit made by the lubricating oil in an engine. Question: Sludge is often found in the crankcase oil. Of what is it composed? Answer: The sludge found in the crankcase oil is usually composed of three items which are dust, commonly known as "road dust," which is taken in through the breather pipe; carbon which is formed by the lubricating oil plashing against the very hot lower side of the piston; and metallic or metal parts which lodge in the crankcase, due to wear on bearings and other working parts. Question: What is meant by the working or operating temperature of an engine, and how does it affect the lubricating oil? Answer: The working or operating temperature of an engine is the temperature of the cylinder walls of the engine while operating under its normal load. This can best be measured by the cooling water as it leaves the engine. Operating temperatures of automobile engines on normal service will range from 180 degrees F. to 180 degrees C. The operating temperature is an important factor to be considered in the selection of the proper grade of lubricating oil. All lubricating oils will become lighter due to the action of heat, and it is therefore important that oil be selected which will have the correct weight or viscosity at operating temperature to promote lubrication the engine. It is for this purpose that all the large oil companies issue their automobile lubricating charts which specify the correct grade of their product for the various makes of automobiles. Intended to keep a person's hands warm in cold weather, a cylindrical device in which a stick of burning charcoal is inserted is equipped with a handle to form a roller for use on other parts of the body. longer and larger center main bearings, shorter intake manifold bringing the carburetor closer to the cylinders, insuring better carburetion and easier starting; rocker arms and valves completely enclosed. New Harrison radiator shell of highly polished, non-rusting air-plate metal. All bodies finished in Duco, in beautiful colors. All open models have re-designed windshield, with very large upper panel to permit unobstructed vision. All closed bodies equipped with V one-piece windshield and automatic windshield wiper. All closed bodies built by Fisher New bodies roomier. New instrument board, with more convenient and beautiful grouping of instruments. Every Driver is An Auto Engineer Here are some accident preventives worth knowing. Always remember you are an engineer, fully responsible. Always test your brakes when starting and have them inspected frequently. Never pass a street car when it is stopping, or, if the law permits, proceed very closely past it at the legal distance. Exercise special care in crossing in front of a street car or in passing it, as you cannot tell what may be coming on the other line. Always signal with hand when slowing down, turning or stoping, even though you have an automatic or mechanical warning device. Look before you back and then round the horn three times. Try to drive with using the horn as little as possible. A sudden noise may stop pedestrians on their track rather than warning them. Don't count too much on the common sense of the other fellow. No one is 100 per cent alert all the time. Cross crossings cautiously. The warning bells may be out of order, watchmen or mate operators may be off duty. Shift into second to avoid stalling on the railroad tracks.
