TIRE men WILL
NOT HOLD CONTEST
Committee Reports That No
Event Will Be Held During
Endurance Run
Dealers and Owners Are Disap-
pointed at Action of Auto-
mobile Tire Trade
By r. r. PHOMM MEDIEU

Charles S. Howard, chairman OF the
runs and tours committee of the Auto
mobile dealers association of Cali
fornia announced yesterday that the
tire changing contest. scheduled to
take place during the "a hour endur-
ance contest to be held next Sunday
and Monday, had been called off by
the committee which had charge Oh the
event.
Howard said that it had been re-
ported to him that it was Impossible
for them to get enough entries Tor the
contest. One of the members OF the
committee said that the reason why
the contest had been called on was
that enough entries could not be had
to make it interesting. This report
was a great disappointment to the
automobile dealers and the owners or
automobiles, inasmuch as the tire rep
resentatiyes have. from time TO time,
claimed superiority for their speclai
wares over that of their competitors,
and now that the chance has been
given them to make good they nave
failed to take advantage OF the oppor-
tunity.
One dealer on the row said yesterday
when 1t became evident that the tire
men were not going to come to the
front: 1T is strange that the dealers
who are claiming so much for their
tires will not come out into the open
and make good. Tire changing con-
tests have been and are being held in
the east, and it is strange that Cali
fornia, which in practically everything
stands in the foremost ranks with
other states in the union, should in
this particular case take a position
equal to some backwoods, unenlight-
ened section. But one can win a con-
test, yet the others losing can still
make friends and hold those they have,
and to withhold from an event which
not only would be interesting, but in
structive to all, shows a lack of con-
fidence in what they claim. The tire
men, by their action at this time, have
not strengthened public belief in the
claims of the advancement in their
industry on lines equal to that of the
motor car.

18th, to confer with state officials
and those interested in the project.
The Minnesota state fish and
game commission is heartily in fav-
or of the plan, which would in
clude the setting aside of fifteen
townships in the north eastern part
of St. Louis county, contiguous
to the Canadian territory, and for
ever forbid the hunting of moose
there. The Canadian government
would give a large tract on the
other side. The land in question
is a barren granite rock country,
with little or no timber value, but
it has a shrub which is of food
value to the moose which is partic-
ularly thick in that district.
Congressman Vo1stead has a bill
pending in congress which provides
for such a plan together with a for
est preserve.
A bill introduced in the Mime
sofa legislature by Representative
Opsahl of Bemidji, aims to remove
the discrimination against male
moose as compared with his mating
sex and permit the killing of one
moose in the open season without
regard to sex. Of course the state
permission would not apply in the
proposed protected preserve.
