SO is a record claimed by a customer
of the Haynes Automobile company,
who brought in his car a few days
ago to make an exchange for a 1909
model. The gentleman claimed to have
no particular reason for making the ex-
change, but said he had enjoyed his
car so much that he dreaded the time
when it might be necessary to tinker
with it. Rather than touch the "old
boat as he called it, he preferred to
make an exchange and go right along
still without trouble. Accommodated
with new car he started out, and at
last reports had accumulated about
5000 miles without one cent of repairs
MY exchange was well made, and I
believe my record an exceptional one,' =
said the customer, ''for I have about
$4,000 miles and no trouble yet There
seems to be no apparent reason why 1
should have trouble, as 1 can afford
a new car once each year, and 1 like
the Haynes, as it gives me so little
trouble that motoring is a real enjoy
ment"

AUTOS FOLLOW IN
BICYCLES TRACKS
Specially Built Race Courses Pre-
dicted as the Future Outcome
of the Automobile
Industry

AS in the old days of the bicycle, the
sporting end of the game in automobile
circles was promoted gradually. Away
back in the early nineties the stars Of
the cycle track competed upon horse
tracks, but cycle tracks were promoted
one by one, and the circuit included
only such in the later nineties, horse
tracks having been abandoned. In au-
tomobiling road racing and horse track
racing has been promoted, but today
more ambitious plans are being fol-
lowed out. At Indianapolis a project
is on foot and plans have been laid for
a course costing several millions of
dollars, and Atlantic City promoters
have incorporated a million-dollar prof.
ect for race course. Others are in
prospect and these, with the motor
parkway on Long Island, will provide
o steady run of competitive events for
the year without the use of the high
ways. The Indianapolis project, head
ed by Carl G. Fisher, seems to be the
best advanced of the new schemes, and
in fact is going through, as work is to
start at very early date and the open
ing is scheduled for the early summer.
Indications point to the organization
by early spring of racing teams to rep
resent the factories, composed of men
who will be employed the season round
in their hazardous occupation.

CALIFORNIA PEOPLE ARE
KIND, SAYS KNABENSHUE
Treatment at Santa Ana Shows Hos
pitality in Contrast to That Of
Eastern Trips

No balloon ascension will be under
taken today, as the balloon grounds at
Chutes park will be used by the Elks'
ball mines. The California Aeronautic
society has received inquiries regarding
the price of ascensions, but has as yet
made no definite arrangements for
further trips. The Knabenshue airship
will probably be sent up before either
the United States or American is in
hated again.
Dick Ferris yesterday received from
man at Santa Fe Springs a bill for $40
requested as rental for the privilege of
landing the American on his property
last Sunday. This action followed the
offer of Capt. Mueller to take up every
body in the neighbOrhoOd on captive
trips while waiting Monday for orders
from Los Angeles gave Mueller some
thing of a shock.
1t was in strong contrast to the treat
ment accorded Roy Knabenshue in
connection with the4 landing of the
United States on the r. B. Johnson
ranch northeast of Santa Ana. E. G.
II. Franzen, George Ahlefeld and others
living in the neighborhOod made special
efforts to give Mr.. KnabenShue every
courtesy. They assisted in packing the
balloon and rendered much other assist
ance and entertainment without asking
any cnafge. pr. hnaDenSnue palQ Tor

met last Sunday made the landing one
of the pleasantest features of the trip,

ciaIly, who helped us get to town, went
out of his way to see that we appre-
ciated Santa Ana oranges.

LIVE NEW SUPPLY
FIRM IS IN FIELD
SeeIey, Van Zandt and CrackeI Com
pose New Concern of HustIers,
Who Are Well Known in
Auto Circles

One of the most attractive supply
houses on the Pacific coast has been
opened by Seeley, Van Zandt &
Crackel at 938 South Main street.
w. E. Seeley, secretary and treas
urer of the new firm, is well known in
this city as an enthusiastic AUTOMOBILE
list for number of years. Mr.. Van
Zandt, former manager of the George
P. Moore company, is very we'll known
in the automobile field throughout the
east as we'll as the coast. G. G. Crack
el, general manager of the new firm,
is well known by almost all the auto
mobilists on the coast, having been
connected with the George p. Moore
company for the last four years.
The new firm will carry complete
stock of automobile supplies as evil
as large line of specialties purchased
by Mr.. Van Zandt while at the New
York show in January.
The famous Continental tires and
tubes and Invader oils and greases are
two of the agencies which the new
firm will control in Southern Califor-
MIA. The tires speak for themselves.
While the oils and greases are new in
this field, they are leaders in all the
large eastern cities. In New York
Chicago, Philadelphia and Boston today
twO-thirds of the oil used for autOmo-
bile purposes is Invader, and, although
the new firm has only been opened a
week, it has had a large demand for
this oil by people who are familiar with
it in the east.
A full line of Lunkenheimer goods as
we'll as Hess Bright bearings will be
carried in stock, which viii fill long
felt want by the automobile public.

SHOPPING TRIPS MADE
IN DlRIGIBLE BALLOON
Wife of Leading Member of Aero Club
of America Will Have Baldwin
Four=Passenger

A. Holland Forbes, a wealthy New
York man, who is vice president of
the Aero club of America, is having a
dirigible balloon built by Thomas S.
Baldwin for his Wife's use. 1t will be
constructed somewhat on the lines Of
the government dirigible, but will be
more luxuriousy fitted up and will
have a gas capacity of 10000 cubic
feet.
Mrs. Forbes, who is a great-grand-
daughter of Robert Livingston, intends
to use the airship for shopping trips
to and from New York and the Forbes
country estate at Fairfield, Conn. The
passenger capacity will be four per-
sons in addition to the pilot. Gasoline
tanks will carry twenty gallons Of fuel,
enough for a trip of 210 miles. Power
will be furnished by a 80 horsepower
Curtiss motor. The cost to Mr.. Forbes
is said to be $4,000.
New features in airShip construction
which will be incorporated in the
Forbes ship will be prominent in con-
nection with the arrangements for the
comfort of the passengers. Ideas de-
veloped in automobile construction will
be utilized to advantage. The engine
will have a muff1er and an aluminium
hood with radiator in front. The pilot
will be able to direct and control the
ship without other assistance, and this
seat will be directly behind the motor,
so that he may look after it easily.
In discussing the plains for Mrs.
Forbes airship, Captain Baldwin said:
money to do it, we could build an en-
tirely American constructed airship
throughout in this country better than
anything they can build abroad. We
have better motors than they have
abroad and we have been able to
build even in our primitive govern
ment aerial warship a much swifter
and more simple vessel than they have
on the other side.
Our ideas in airships are the most
advanced. In construction we have
evolved practicable theories that they
are adopting in every country where
they are building aerial craft

DIAMOND GRIP TIRES
ARRIVE IN QUANTITIES

The Diamond grip tires, which made
such a splendid showing in the last
Vanderbilt cup race, equipping Flori-
da's Locomobile and several others, are
now arriving at the local branch of the
Diamond Rubber company. Hereto
fore the demand in the east has been
so great that the factory was unable
to take care of the western and Pacific
coast trade, but owing to greatly in
creased facilities for manufacturing
this type of anti-skid, no further trou-
BILE will be experienced along that line
The tire is attracting a great deal of
attention, and owing to the present
condition of the roads will be a very
popular seller.

There is no doubt that the club is
fortunate in possessing not only rep
resentative but also a singularly eff
cient body of motoring officials.
HI. A. Hover, president of the club,
has been called a thirty second degree
motorist because he is the first man to
undertake an automobile trip around
the world, meaning a motor car jaunt
of some 100000 miles through terri
tories in which automobiles have not
been seen before Mr.. Hover's arrival.
Mr.. Hover is particularly we'll known in
the northwest of the United States,
through his successful efforts in re-
claiming arid lands. The towns of
Hover and Kennewick in the state Of
Washington are the results Of Mr..
Hover's labors, both settlements now
being fiourishing communities in which
the best wheat farms and berry-grow-
ing establishments of Washington are
found.
The first vice president, Hon. Peter
T. Barlow of New York, is one of the
best known municipal juAges in the

OPEN MEETING
ON AERONAUTICS
SESSION OF AERO CLUB TO
SHOW PROGRESS
PLAN PUBLIC DISCUSSIONS ON
AERIAL NAVIGATION
Series of Meetings at Chamber OF
Commerce Hall Will illustrate
Advance Made in Con.
quest of Air

The Aero club of California has ar
ranged to hold its social sessions, at
which progress in aeronautics is dis
cussed and illustrated, in the assembly
hall of the chamber of commerce on
the second and fourth Tuesdays of each
month. These meetings are open to
the public, and programs will be an
ranged of popular interest.
Special evenings are planned at
which possibilities in aeronautics will
be presented. One under consideration
is an evening on military aeronautics
with special relation to defense of Los
Angeles, in which the signal corps will
cooperate. Others suggested are dis
cusSionS of the air currents in this
section, the commercial future of aerial
navigation and the avenues through
which Los Angeles may be advertised
because of the fact that ballooning and
aerial experiments may be carried on
here. the year round.
Moving pictures of airships in oper-
alton. including the Wright aeroplanes,
and lantern views are TO be features
Roy knabenShue has sent on behalf
of the club to st. Louis and New York
to secure the loan of aerial slide pic
lures.
Al the meeting next tuesday night
members of the club will discuss the
practical side of the Wright aero
plane. A small model showing the
methods Of construction used by the
Wright brothers will be on exhibition,
Several members of the club have pre-
pared short talks on the possibilities
of the aeroplanes along various lines,
and the discussion will be thrown open
to the audience.
1--WE hope to make these meetings of
general value aside from their interest
to members of the Aero club" said J.
S. Zerbe, president of the club, yes
terday. There is a great popular in
terest coming in aeronautics, which is
evident in all leading cities of the
world but the advancement naturally
brings with it a great deal of techni-
cal information more or less confus-
ing. Some of this the public generally
wants to know about, as, for instance,
just what sustains the aeronef, or
heavier-than-ai machine.
''These matters and what they signify
in bringing aerial navigation down 10
a practical basis will be presented in
our social meetings. We shall be glad
to have any one attend who is inter-
ested.''

Leaks in Radiators

A frequent cause of leaks in radiators
is said to be that the vents in the fill
ing caps become choked with sediment
or dust, with the consequence that
steam accumulates in the radiator, and
the pressure, seeking an outlet, forces
an opening at the weakest point. A
little attention to the vent will remove
the cause of the trouble, while a mix
ture of red lead. white lead and gold
size will be found an excellent means of
stopping any leaks of the kind
