MOTORING

Another busy week is reported from
gasoline row and sales are quite up
to the standard set the week before.
Never before has there been such
cheerful aspect along the row of deal
ers in the motor cars as there is now,
and while the season showed small
promise at first it now seems that most
of the dealers will sell their entire al
lotment.
The neweset member of the row is the
California Auto Brokerage company.
They have taken the agency for the
Aerocar, which will be the only new
machines they will sell. They will also
handle all lines of second hand cars,
both on commission and buy and sell
outright.
The firm has taekn a large room be-
tween Eleventh and Twelfth streets,
near the Electric Construction COM
apny.
William j. Batehelder & Co. who
have started recently as sales agents
of the Stearns, have been doing bust
ness. They report another sale of a
Stearns seven-passenger touring car, to
be delivered in London. The car was
sold to Mrs G. z. Mackln, who is
stopping in Los Angeles al present, but
who will leave shortly for England.
where she will make her future home.
Gilbert Woodill of the WoodilI Auto
company is in the east visiting the
Haynes factory at Kokomo, Ind. He
will visit several other places before
he returns. He expects to be away
from Los Angeles about three weeks.

spent the latter part of the past week
in San BernardinO, Redlands, River
side and Highlands. They went out In
two Rambler cars and the new touring
car that they took along they sold
while they were away.
Collins, Derkum, Risden and Eaart,
a quartette of fast motorcycle riders,
expect to take part in the motorcycle
race meet at Fresno next Sunday. Col
Inns and Derkum are already on tie
ground familiarizing themselves with
the track. b. A. Fay, their manager,
is with them.
The Los Angeles Motorcycle club has
offered sto furnish the fleet committee
on entertainment with some fast motor
cycle events at Agricultural park dur
ing fleet week If it meets with the
approval of the committee. AS the
motorcycle attracts a great deal of at
tention when ridden fast on the track
and as the local club has the fastest
bunch of riders anywhere, there is a
strong probability that the generous
offer will be accepted. as it would prove
a winning attraction.
Deliveries on the Thor motorcycles
are only limited by the number that
"Shock Absorber" Scott can get. The
machine is proving very popular A
model "S-B" has been selected by The
Herald management as one of the
prizes to be given away in the big
subscription contest that, they have
just inaugurated.
A flock of eagles has arrived in Los
Angeles and they have selected as
their roosting places the radiator caps
of automobiles.
TO be sure they are brass and beau
tifully gilded, but nevertheless they are
eagles and could not be mistaken for
else

On chardst AS a rule he buys run
about first-a Cadillac, Maxwell, a
Ford a Buick or a REQ and after ne
has had his moneys worth of use out
of it, trades it in or sells 1t and buys
touring car so that the whole family
can ride. Every time that the out-of-
town man buys a car a confirmed and
perpetual motorist is made and an adj
Vocate of good roads is gained. And
good roads are synonymous with tour
ing, a big automobile trade and good
business in general.
A man as a rule buys as high priced
a car as he can afford and frequently
strains a point to get one just little
better than he had a first figured on,
50 that if the dealers in the higher
priced car helped the whole business
they would help the business rather
than hold it back by knocking the low
priced runabout
Business Proposition
One we'll known rubber man of gas
olne row who is a close student of
the trade resented the term the other
day of the automobile game" 1T is
not a game any more" he said sit is
business proposition pure and simple
and the sooner that the dealers come to
realize it the better they will be off.
ut will not be long" he continued
makes of automobiles on the market
and the cars that have not the merit
ana the business organization back of
them viii be out of the running before
long. Such a state of affairs will make
il better for the motorist as well as
for the dealers, as then there will be
fewer makes to confuse the prospec-
tive buyer when he tries to make a
choice and he will consequently be bet
ter informed in regard to them all and
that will save the time of the sales
man and naturally allow better mar
gin for the dealer"
The greatest expense of the motorist
after the initial cost of his car is tire
maintenance, and now it is announced
trat one of the largest tire concerns in
til" United States has almost ready
for the market a good tire that is much
less in price than those now in use.
Prices to Be Reduced
1t is predicted that the price of
standard runabouts and light touring
cars will be much less within two years
of the fact that one factory declared
dividends last year of nearly third
of its capital stock.
With profits of that size it seems
quite likely that the cars could be sold
az much closer figure and yet pay
handsomely.
The cost of maintaining a car is less
than that for horse drawn vehicles that
vii! accomplish as much and at the
same time the service is much better
Up to the present the automobile BUSH
ness has followed very closely the lines
that were set by the bicycle trade and
if it continues in the same way and
reaches the same substantial business
basis that the wheel trade has then
there will be some fortunes in the
business, not only for the makers but
for the dealers as well, and the indi-
cations are that the automobile will
practically parallel the lines of the
bicycle trade.

H HE development of the automobile
is shown no better than in its

ance This was the place selected to
try out the hill climbing qualities of
the White steamer few days ago, and
the way in which it rushed up the hill
showed good reason why the White is
classed at the top in hill climbing
events. So steep is the Fillmore street

cent which is sleeper than the ever
dreaded Fremont pass. The record for
climbing the hill was held previous to
the test of the White by a Thomas
Flyer which made the run up the hill
in thirty-three seconds. The White,
under the guidance of Bill Slimmon,
made the run in twenty-three seconds,
and then would have been able to lower
that two or three seconds of the car
could have had free run for the hill.
Just as the car got away a wagon
crossed the road, forcing Slimmon to
cross the tracks and lose little time.
Then again at the top time was lost

count of a street car in the way. AS
It was. the machine was almost at a

Slimmon is the nervy driver who pilot

car over Twin Peaks, a feat never be-

Diablo, another mountain that was ex-

ing of the Fillmore street hill is not
the only hill climbing feat to the
credit of the White for the past week,
however. as it won the Fort George hill
climb on Thursday in New York city.
The White made the fastest time of the
day at the Fort George hill, beating the
time of the Apperson Jackrabbit, which
was driven by Edgar Apperson, a Fiat,

made was 80 1-5 seconds.

COTTON QUOTED
AT Is ADVANCE
Sales Chiefly of Arriving
Bales.

A stiffening of prices took place
in the local cotton market yesterday
and even at the advance no large
amount of cotton was obtainable.
Sales. were on a basis of 8 5-S cents
for good middling, with the choicest
grades selling Is higher. Little
of the accumulated stock was offer
ing, the transactions being confined
to incoming stuff. The demand was
not very good, however, and the dis
inclination to sell around prevailing
bids did not work much of a hardship.
The receipts for the day were 275
bales and the sales 261.
October slumped a half a cent in
the New York futures market yester-
day, indicating that the option was
pretty we'll liquidatated. Later po-
sitions opened points lower to

larity closed steady, l point lower to

Again on one of the large round
hats which are made in a French

MAKES ASTONISHING CURES
Mi-O-na Tablets Cure Dyspepsia by
Promptly Removing the Cause,
or Money Back

Dyspepsia cannot be cured by TAX
ing a digester, such as pepsin be-
| cause pepsin simply digests your
food artificially, and not all of the
food either, for it has no effect at all
on starchy food, such as potatoes, rice,
oatmeal, bread, etc.
There is just one way to cure dys-
pepsia and stomach disorders, trivial
or serious, and that is to tone up or
put energy into the stomach walls,
so that they will be able to properly
mix or churn the food.
Mona tablets cure stomach trou-
bles by putting strength and energy
into the stomach. They quickly arouse
the stomach from it's inaction, and in
short time it is able to do it's work
properly.
Mona is successfully used in
vomiting of pregnancy, in car and sea
sickness.
And bear in mind that when the
stomach is in good condition, consti-
patton disappears, also nervousness,
drowsiness, night sweats, heartburn,
etc
