2763 MILES IN FIVE DAYS RECORD Two thousand seven hundred and sixty-three miles in five days and five nights continuous driving is the sensational record recently established by "Daredevil" (Cowboy) Seeley in a Maxwell touring car of the latest model furnished by the Long Beach Maxwell dealer, according to word received here by Craig & Hauser, local Maxwell dealers. "As the time of the 120 hour test Seeley was handcuffed to the wheel of his car by two Long Beach motorcycle policemen," said Craik. "The remarkable part of the whole run as I see it, is the fact that at no time was the engine stopped. Even when gasoline, oil and water were being added the driver kept the car moving." "Seeley's only nourishment during the duration of his sleep deriving accomplishment was milk. He carried several bottles with him and whenever he felt the need of food; drank a quart. "In the five days and nights that he was on the road the cowboy tried in every way to break up the power plant since he made a wager with the Maxwell dealer in Long Beach that he could drive a car 120 hours of continuous driving and either break it up or wear himself down in the attempt. At the finish he had to be carried from behind the wheel and be placed in another machine padded with pillows after the shackles had been removed from his wrist by motorcycle officers. "As soon as the car arrived at the shop inspectors took the head off the motor and saw there was no appreciable carbon deposit and that the valves were seating themselves perfectly. Expert mechanics declared they wouldn't have believed the engine had been running except they saw the Maxwell during the test. "Seeley averaged about 25 miles to the gallon of gasoline and 498 miles—nearly 500—per quart of oil. "The Cowboy's course was the most difficult he could find in Long Beach as it was his intention to punish the car as much as he" BROADCASTERS FORETOLD QUAKE An echo of the part played by WTAM, broadcasting station of the Willard Storage Battery Co., in connection with the tornado that demolished the city of Lorain, Ohio, on June 28, has just reached Cleveland from England. A Spencer Armstrong, Newcastle-on-the-Tyne, England, was listening in on WTAM when the concert was interrupted by the announcer telling of the tornado destruction in Lorain and appealing to nurses, doctors and citizens to mobilize for relief work. WTAM stayed on the air till long after midnight on the night of June 28, broadcasting mobilization orders to the militia, the Red Cross and American Legion. Armstrong, hearing the Cleveland broadcasting station in action, became alarmed as to the safety of Cleveland relatives and wrote the sheriff's office at Cleveland for information. Sheriff C. B. Stannard was puzzling over what earthquake, tidal wave, conflagration, pestilence or other calamity might have befallen the city of Cleveland without his knowledge when he noticed the date of the letter. It was June 29th the day after the Lorain disaster. The letter had been delayed in the mail. Well, if Spain develops an air force the Moors will get a little variety in their target practice. Tall Speed Expected Continued from Page Three with the showing made by his companion even though he did have to divide the honors of holding the track record with the big Frenchman. Fred Comer, the third member of the Hartz racing crew, had trouble with his oil pump. That was the thing that spoiled his chances in the last race, and it seems that the oil pump is the jinx to Comer's car in every event. Three times last year Comer lost a race on account of the oil pump; but another driver can take his car, with the same adjustments, and go thru a race without any oil pump trouble. Such is the luck of the racing sport. Mine's a Nine "Doe" Shattuc, one met Dorothy Donald, west demonstration week, while This is "Overland Six Ways in Anaheim, by decree of N.

Garages continued to give this service said Herr, and the public came to expect it. Many car owners go along for years with a timer which isn’t working properly and don’t know why their cars don’t run smoothly. Similarly, a carburetor out of adjustment results in faulty operation and poor ignition. R. L. Moore Electrical wiring, fixtures, appliances and repairs. SHOP HOME 120 W.

Such is the luck of the racing sport. While the “Three Musketeers of the Roaring Road,” Hartz, Duray, and Comer, were putting on their speed rehearsal, the great Milton, fresh from triumphs on the water at Miami, rolled out on the course in his fire-engine red racer and after turning many laps at a warm-up pace, tore off some rounds at 35 seconds. This is not fast. It is only 128.6 miles per hour; but Mr. Milton apologized with the explanation that he had some new parts in his car that he was working in before he tried for any real speed. Then Milton added: “The race is next Sunday and not today. The boys who will get the prize money are those who make the speed Sunday afternoon; not today.” Milton has never been known to over train his car. Many drivers tinker all the speed out of their mounts after they have reached the maximum speed long before the race. But Milton has never been guilty of this and it is safe to perdiet that he will have plenty of speed next Sunday when he starts to thrown splinters in competition. Bennett Hill was out yesterday with two cars. Bennett used his new front-wheel-drive job first and then took his faithful silver-bonnetted No. 3 and burned up a lot of rubber at 128 miles an hour or thereabouts. Hill is not showing his hand and it is believed that he has more speed in both cars than he has yet exhibited. Accordingly Mr. Nolan has Monday as the beginning of special Overland Six Display demonstration week in that hundreds of interested tourists turned away at the end of the sixes might have an opportunity to not only see new line but ride in the area and try them out on the road.

Folks wanted to see the new 1½ cent stamps Sales, however, were not particularly large.

The pageant will be given on Saturday and Sunday, April 25 and 26, and Saturday and Sunday May 2 and 3. The play will start at 3 p.m. each afternoon. The Ramona Pageant has particular historical significance because it is given on the very soil that Ramona, romantic heroine of Heden Hunt Jackson's world-famous novel of early California Indian life, and her illfated lover, Alessandro, frod in the balcony days before the white man crowded the California Indian from the green hills and Irish valleys he knew so intimately. More than 20,000 people are expected to attend the Pageant on the four days. Perforated bricks to be built into kitchen walls to draw off the odors of cooking have been invented. A Class Ad will bring you results. and if the bearings or spindles are rusted the grease cannot be forced thru. The simplest way to overcome this is to jack the truck up, taking the load off the springs. The shackle bolt will then be free in the spring and grease can be forced all around it. 2000 CHEVROLETS A DAY PRODUCED DETROIT, Mich., April 18—The Chevrolet Motor Co., producing this month an April record of 52,299 motor cars and trucks, or more than 2,000 for each working day. This monthly schedule, planned also for May and June, has been exceeded only twice in the company's history. At the present rate Chevrolet will produce its "two millionth" car early this fall. It will be the first three-speed gear shift type of car to reach that total. Of the cars being made this month, 43,556 are destined for domestic sale, 5,234 are to be exported and 3,500 are to be built at the Chevrolet plant in Canada. Accelerated by the demand for the improved new series, with retirements previously obtainable only in cars of much higher price, the Chevrolet production has mounted rapidly since January 1. The capacity program requires approximately 17,545 workers at the 12 Chevrolet factory and assembly plants throughout this country. GIANT FOREST SEASON CLOSES The Giant Forest winter season closed on the 13th.

LUBRICATION Question: What is the best lubricant for a worm type of steering wheel? Answer: This type of steering wheel usually has provision for lubrication in the way of an Alemite, or similar fitting, in which case the correct lubricant to use is a medium cup grease. If no provision is made for grease lubrication, a small plug will be found which can be removed and gear oil or steam cylinder oil put in the worm housing. Either of these lubricants will give satisfactory service at this point. Question: Spring shackles on my truck are Alemite equipped, but on application of grease, I notice that it all seems to come out at one place. How can this be avoided? Answer: Grease forced through shackle spindles will naturally find the line of least resistance. Announcement Have Moved From 211 NO. LOS ANGELES ST.
