NOVEL PLAN ADOPTED TO
PROMOTE AUTOMOBILE RACE
Tom Moore Compelled to Purchase
SeVenty-five Cans Of Milk In
Order to Get Farmers to
Attend Contest

1t is a great day when the promotion
of great road race of cars of both
American and European manufacture
demands the purchase of seventy-five
cans of milk in order that 1t may be q
success. Yet that is what Tom Moore
had to do to aid along the stocked
stripped touring car race in West
chester county Mr.. Moore was re-
CURED to attend meeting of the farm
ers located in certain county and he
was required to agree to pay to these
farmers a sum of approximately fifty
cents for each can of milk which they
might fail to take to the depot on the
day of the race. The foxy promoter
readily agreed to the proposition and
the farmers were pacified.
The troubles of a promoter of such
an enterprise are many but the pur-
chasing. of the milk supply OF the dis
trict was the limit. Few will ever ac-
cuse the drivers of automobiles OF de-
manding that all the milk of a district
be purchased to make an event of the
international character Of the stripped
stock touring car race a success. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Moore the milk supply
and profits alone interfered with sue
cess, and the success of the purchase
assured complete victory.

AUTO TIRES SOLD
BY MILE, NOT SET
New York Taxicab Concern Estab-
fishes Precedent Showing Good
Results and StartIes Motor
World

The Taxicab company of New Yort
startled the motor world when 1t ig
nored custom and purchased its tire
equipment by the mile instead of simply
buying so many tires. And the tire
using public, remembering sundry hap
penings to the tires which they have
purchased in the past. Immediately be-
came absorbingly interested in what
would happen"
Results are at hand for the first 1000
miles OF running over the car tracks
and pavements of New York and are
interesting to the man who takes
thought of what his dollar purchases.
Two tire companies took up the Taxi
cab tires by the-mile" proposition.
One of these declines to give details,
but states that the test has been salts
factory to them and shows profit.
The other manufactures, more COM
municative, shows that the Twenty-Five
taxicabs using Goodyear tires on Good
year universal rims have covered an
average of 1000 miles per cab. The
original tires are on all of the cars
and in the majority of cases these tires
contain the same air with which they
were originally pumped up. The entire
expense to the Goodyear company of
maintaining the 100 tires used on these
cabs amounted to exactly 1897, or less
than 20 cents per tire, for 1000 miles
use.

ern part of the state. Good roads would
do more to increase the sale of the
automobile than any other one thing,
said Appersoh, and the farmer would
get a large increase in valuation in the
property adjacent to any good high
way.
Apperson also said that Southern
California, with good roads, ought to
become the finest place for the use of
the automobile in the world, and that
on account OF climatic conditions and
the number of months that 1t is possible
to use a machine here this eventually
should be the best field obtainable for
the sale of automobiles.
w. K Cowan gave history of the
conditions that prevailed in the bust
ness when it first started, and said
that of the two men who were the first
to buy machines here one went crazy
and the other one died soon after.
From that small beginning, he said,
the business had reached point where
there was a sale of 100000 worth of
automobiles in Southern California in
the past season.
Following the banquet and the toasts
there was very pleasant time spent In
social intercourse.

Il. A. MOTORCYCLE CLUB TO
HOLD RACE MEET FEB. ~
Heated "Indian" Races to Be Feature
of Big Event Planned for AgrlcuI-
tural Park on Washing
toms Birthday

On Washington's birthday the Los
Angeles Motorcycle club intends to
hold a race meet at Agricultural park,
and a fine card of events is now in
preparation. There was considerable
rivalry stirred up at the last meet,
Admission day, and there will be races
for all there Is In the machines and
riders.
It is said the Automobile Dealers
association was after the track for that
day, intending to have race meet in
stead of the Altadena hill-climb, but
the two-wheelers got the privilege and
have the contract closed for that date.
w. G.. Collins will, in all probability
ride an Indian, and consequently he
is anxious to lower the record for a
mile that he now holds of one minute
fiat, and have the honors go to the
concern with whom he is at present as
ISOLATED.
There is also some rivalry between
Derkum and Collins, and though they
both ride Indians now, there doubtless
will be a hard race when the two come
in competition, as Derkum is as anx-
iou5 to hold the track records that are
now held by Collins as Collins is to
maintain them, and to set a new pace
with the Indian that will exceed that
made by himself on the Peugeot.
Derkum Is the acknowledged cham
pion Of the Riverside grade, but Col
Inns holds the best track records in
Southern California. Derkum would
like to add them to his cap also, but
will surely have to roll some" to beat
the good time that should be made
by Collins.
The racing tour referred to in The
Herald of last Sunday is practically
assured, as Collins is in receipt of a
letter Offering f1attering inducements if
he will race on the fair circuits
Derkum will probably go also, as they
think that team would be a better
drawing card than a single rider, who
would go against all corners and pre-
vious track records.

RUBBER MEMS FEAST
TALK OF AUTO ROW
INTERESTING ECHOES HEARD
FROM BANQUET BOARD
"Honk-Honk," the Official Paper, and
Billy Reuss' Talk Create Much
Comment = Apperson's
Advice on Roads

Echoes from the banquet given to the
rubber men by the Automobile Deal
ers association are frequently heard
topic of conversation when two or three
automobile men get together is what
took place" at the dinner.
"Honk-honk," the official publication
issued by the entertainment committee,
is in great demand and will soon be at
premium. Never before have the
men along automobile row had so much
fun crowded into a few hours or be-
tween the sheets of so small publ
cation.
Outside of the paper, the impromptu
talk of Billy Reuss created the most
comment. Right down the row went
he, and not shot he missed In his
own inimitable dialect he handed out
various roasts to those present, and
showed neither fear nor favor. HIS
intimate knowledge of the game. and
of those who have been playing 1t for
the past several years, especially fitted
him for the task.
Leon T. Shelter evidently had been
"currying favor with Pegasus" as he
passed out some poetical effusions that
ran as smooth as a Kissel car and never
missed an explosion. After he stopped,
however, he had big explosion in the
muff1er when Freddie Pabst denied any
knowledge of Shelters affectation of
poetry or he would never have stood
UP for him through thick and thin
while every one else said that Shelter
was mon compos mentis."
A. ]. Smith was gladly welcomed by
those present as this was his first pub
lie appearance since the serious acci-
dent that he suffered in the overturntng
of his car in the Mount Badly race.
Harrison as POSTMASTER
H. O. Harrison proved an excellent
POSTMASTER, introducing the various
speakers in good style.
The list of speakers included a large
number of the automobile and Access
sories dealers and nearly every repre-
sentative of the rubber interests.
e. G. Acheson, the wizard of Mag
ara" we'll known as the inventor or
carborundum, gave an intensely inter-
esting talk on a new product he has
invented that will doubtless revolu-
tionize the field of fabrication, and VIII
go far in it's influence on the problem
of transportation.
The new product, which de described.
is a graphite which he has succeeded
in suspending in oil and water. By the
addition of small percentage OF the
graphite to a libricating oil he claims
that the oil is made from so to 100 per
cent more efficient.
Edgar Apperson made some very per-
tinent remarks on the condition of the
roads in California, saying that the i'm
preston in the east was that there was
network of boulevards in the south
