NEW SERIES COLUMBIAS
WILL BE SEEN MONDAY
Following These Will Come the Hand
some Electrics, Which Will Be
Superior Line

Monday morning will see the new
series of the Columbia cars in the
salesrooms of Bireley & Young, who are
the agents for the Columbia cars for
Southern California. The Columbia is
one of the oldest and most favorably
known cars on the automobile market
and has already been fully described
in the columns of The Herald.
The shipment to be seen Monday
comprises a very handsome polished
chassis which will reveal to the pros
pective buyer the perfection of detail
in the construction of these cars and
the principle used in the manufacture.
A four-passenger roadster said to be
one of the handsomest machines of the
kind ever brought to the coast, will also
be included in the shipment, and with
the next arrival of Columbias will come
the touring cars and the Columbia cleo
tries, an electrically operated car, now
so popular in the east and growing so
among the fair sex of Los Angeles.
These electric cars are the very latest
in design and finish, and the public is
invited to call and inspect them when
they are received, of which there will
be due announcement and in the mean
time 1t might be profitable and pleas
ureable to wait their arrival before
investing, If intending TO own one.

STUDEBAKER PRESTIGE
IN ELECTRICS SHOWN
WILL GO INTO BUILDING OF
ELECTRIC ON LARGE SCALE
Class of Cars Operated by Electricity
Will Be of Same High Order as
Reputation Made in Cas-
oline Cars

Some years ago, when it was appar-
ent that electrical vehicles would have
a wide use, the Studebaker Automobile
company engaged Hayden Eames, then
chief engineer of the Electric Vehicle
company, to undertake the task of de-
signing and marketing a class of elec-
trio vehicles such as would add to
Studebaker prestige. Mr.. Eames, fol-
lowing out his invariable plan, under
took the large task in a quiet way,
prefTring to do the work and let 9TH
ers DO the talking.
By a systematic process and proper
display of skill the plan has prospered
and 1T will come as a news item Of
more than a little purport to most
people that the Studebaker Automobile
company will now go into the building
of electric vehicles on a large scale,
and in view of the other efforts in the
shape of gasoline engines now well
well under way it has been decided to
make a separate department of the
electric vehicle work. G. H. Tyler, one
of the able men of the Studebaker
staff, formerly connected with the
Studebaker Chicago branch, will hold
sway over the destiny of this separated
project.
Let it not be supposed that the pres
ent move is a bolt fro,n clear sky;
on the contrary, the amount of electric
vehicle work already done by the
Studebakers might be classed as large.
The new idea is to take advantage
of experience gained build cars in
accordance with the dictates of this
same experience and place the whole
matter on an independent footing,
holdi ng a department head of wide ex-
perienoe responsible for the result
Mr. Tyler is in the saddle the work
is being pressed in all directions, and
| Studeibaker electrics are being turned
out at rapid rate.
C. II. Tyler has been appointed man
ager of the electric pleasure vehicle
department of the Studebaker Auto
mobile. company and will represent this
COMPANY in all matters relating to the
electri pleasure vehicles, to act under
the ad vice and counsel of General Man
| ager Games, and to cooperate with
and assist the various Studebaker
branch es in the distribution Of the
electric pleasure cars.

1910 ELM0RE MODEL
COMES TO EXPECTATIONS
Immunity from Trouble, Freedom from
Repairs and Slight Cost of Upkeep
Make Them Popular

Sticking to their original intention
of making a two-cycle motor which
would equal four-cycle motor in pow
er and simplicity, the Gilmore manu-
facturers have turned out 1910 modsf
car that they feel is the realization
of their hopes.
Certain extensions and advancements
of the two-cycle type are Incorporated
in the two new Gilmore types which
exert an influence so far-reaching as
to be Immediately recognized and ap-
preciated by discriminating critics of
automobile machinery.
The moving parts of the engine are
reduced 80 three, and are practically
beyond the necessity of repair. An
undisguised blessing lies in the entire
elimination of valves, while the igni-
tion system is as nearly infallible as
human ingenuity can make it.
And at the same time the new Ell
mores are characterized by that relia-
bility, immunity from trouble, freedom

RECIPE FOR CLEANING
LIGHT COLOR LEATHER

Those who have purchased cars up
holstered in light-oolored leather be-
cause their wives or daughters liked
the particular tint of the upholstery,
are often bothered by the apparent un-
tidiness of the Innings which is sure to
result from exposure and use. To clean
and remove, stains from light-colored
leather, however, is not such difficult
matter, and the following mixture may
be used with excellent results: Boil
a pint of milk, allow it to cool, and add
one dram OF hydrochloric acid and one
dram of sutphuric acid.
After this has been well shaken a
half dram of oil of lavender should be
added and one pint of vinegar and the
white of one egg beaten to a froth. The
mixture should be kept in a tightly
corked bottle. If this liquid is rubbed
on the leather with a soft cloth the
stains will be removed and the leather
be much improved in appearance.

OZARK" TODAY
IS COLISEUM
NO MOTORCYCLE RACES UNTIL
NEXT SUNDAY
Machine for Derkum Did Not Arrive,
but Big Race Between the "Dare-
Devil" and De Roster
Next Sunday

The Coliseum motorcycle will go
dark" today, but only to be open next
Sunday in what undoubtedly Will be a
greater blaze of excitement because OF
the match race between Daredevil
Derkum and Jake De Roster, the most
stubborn saucer track rivals that nave
ever met on this or any other con-
tinent.
Last Sunday Jack Prince announced,
in the name of Derkum, that the latter
would return to the racing game, ana
as a first shy at the big ones would
challenge De Roster to a match race
today. Derkum was banking ON the
arrival from the east of a fast Merkel
racer that has been under fire the past
summer at all eastern meets, and that
has won the reputation of being the
fastest racer ever turned out by the
Merkel factory This Is the machine
that Stanley Kellogg, a "pro-amateur,
has used in successfully defeating all
other competitors and said to be light
ming fast. With the racing game
closed in the east, Kellogg has per-
mitted this machine to be shipped to
Los Angeles for the winter season here.
but it's shipment was too late to per-
nit of its arrival in time for today S
events. Consequently the Coliseum
management has decided to postpone
racing entirely for today rather than
disappoint the public, and the Derkuin-
De Roster match has been scheduled
for next Sunday.
According to all motorcycle dope, De
Roster is best because ne has uniformly
defeated all comers, but he has never
succeeded in defeating Derkum except
by the operation of a species OF luck
that has been almost un-understanda-
BILE. Derkum has gone out on more
than one occasion and led De Roster
the merriest chase that the willy
Frenchman has ever been called upon
to run, and has lost on almost as many
occasions by the veriest of hard luck.
Derkum has always assigned his de-
feats to faulty machines under him,
and his unlucky experiences have al
ways seemed to bear out this conten-
ton. With a new Merkel, of proven
ability, Derkum looms far more largely
than he ever has on previous occasions,
and If this racer proves to be two-thirds
of what it Is said to be, he will give
next Sundays crowd a line of thrills
never experienced in the most exciting
days of a season ago.
The Merkel will arrive tomorrow or
Tuesday, and Derkum will Immediately
proceed to tune it up to coast condi-
tions, so as to make 1t fit for next Sun
days race.

Autocars Here Monday

M. L. Bulkeley is feeling better.
There is no longer the long languish-
ing look on his countenance as though
something expected would or should be
developing. The reason for the change
is that he will have his first shipment
of this popular little car here on Mon
day, dead sure, consisting of his DEM
onstrator, a roadster, fiVe-passenger
touring car and a three-th thousand COM
mercial delivery wagon.
The Autocar must be mighty nearly
right, for the company has just closed
a deal with the Adams Express COM
pany for ten of the delivery wagons
built by the Autocar company, and the
Adams Express people did this after
severe tests as to what the car would
do, as they usually know what they
have to have for their speedy work
The new garage of the Autocar COM
pany is rapidly approaching compile
tion, and Mr.. Bulkeley states that he
expects to move from his temporary
place by November %.

fornia Automobile company VIII pe as
follows: Volney S. Beardsley, presloene
and manager; Fred Hooker Jones, sec

]. Waters, DR.. G.. w. Tape.
The mem company purchases from
the Auto Vehicle company all material
on hand, consisting of new hnlsheo
cars; cars in process OF construction,
and all automobile parts, as wei as all
patents, blue prints, patterns, 1lgs, dles
and templates used in the manufacture
of Tourist and California cars, together
with the good will of the business.
Owing to the lateness in the season
and the impossibility to.secure material
Tor 1910, the policy of the company foI
the coming year will be to build and
sell only about one-third the usual
number OF cars as heretofore, which
will mean quite a shortage in tourist
and California cars to meet the demand
OF the established coast trade.
The company has arranged, however,
TO act as California distributors for the
Columbus gasoline cars, manufactured
by the Columbus Buggy company oil
Columbus, Ohio and this line will take
the place of the shortage in the Tourist
output for 1910.
The Columbus gasoline cars will be a
new line for California, although the
name is n familiar one. The Columbus
Buggy company has a national reputa-
tion as a high grade vehicle builder,
having manufactured pleasure vehicles
for over forty years, and during the
mast three years has established good
trade and reputation on electric cars
Last year the company manufactured
only a limited number of gasoline cars
and for 1910 it expects to build and sell
1000 gasoline machines
The California Automobile company
will occupy a part of the present Tour
ist factory, corner Tenth and Main
streets. and will be well equipped To
take care of all Tourist and California
cars sold during the past seven years

ATLAS SHOWED MUCH
SPEED AND POWER IN RACE

The Atlas car, entered in the Van
derbilt cup race, was the first two
cycle car that was ever entered in
that or in any long distance road race,
as it is very difficult to get extreme
high speed with a two-cycle engine. The
novel principle and improved construc-
tion of the Atlas engine gives much
speed and power, and the car made its
best laps q2.64 miles) at an average
speed of sixty miles an hour, obtaining
a maximum speed of seyenty-five miles
on the grandstand home stretch. This
great increase of power also makes
it a wonderful hill climber.
The engine is four-cylinder hve-
inch bore and five-inch stroke, the
bore and stroke being one-half inch
more than in their previous models.
This engine develops sixty horse power
at 1900 revolutions.
