FOREIGN TRAVEL EASIER
FOR RAMERICAN MOTORISTS
Much Red Tape to Get Across
Frontiers in Car Is
Abolished

American motorcar owners who con-
template touring this fall through the
principal countries of Europe will be
interested in the announcement made
by the director of the foreign depart
ment of the Touring club of America,
who has just returned from a three
while abroad he completed arrange
ments with the leading automobile or
ganizations, including the Automobile
association of London and the Touring
club of France, whereby American
tourists, when introduced abroad
through the Touring club of America,
will be able to secure the international
travelling certificate. By this means all
the license and registration difficulties
heretofore encountered while passing
from one country to another will be
avoided. The holder Of the certificate
will be able to cross each frontier by
simply carrying the license number and
the initial plate issued by the country
in which the tour began.
This certificate is the outcome of
convention between the foremost gov
ernments of Europe with a view to
facilitating foreign touring. Hitherto
an American landing in France had to
repeat the process Of procuring a IL
cense and registration at each frontier,
often involving much trouble and in
convenience, especially in Germany.
With the new certificate the tourist
can pass through each country included
in the convention on the strength of
the number plate which he procured
upon landing. At the present time the

GIVES REASON FOR KNOX
CARS FAILURE TO FINISH

To allay some of the silly stories
that have been floating about relative
to the causes that made the Knox car
drop out of the Los Angeles Phoenix
race, The Herald auto editor has in
spected the machine and secured Joe
Nikrent's story
The car is now at the Knox garage
and in the same condition as driven
back from Dos Palms on the return
trip. The leaves Of the right rear
spring are clearly broken, which neces
STATED putting in a big block of wood
to enable the car to get back. The
original trouble, according to Nikrent.
was that the shock absorber on this
wheel turned" over just before reach
ing Mecca. Not desiring to take the
time to loosen the bolts and readjust
It, as 1t would take and hour or so,
Joe disconnected the shock absorber
and started for Dos Palms.. but at
particularly bad place in the road one
bump was so severe as to cleanly
break the unprotected spring. AS the
same make of shock absorber was on
six other cars in the race, particularly
on the first and second cars to finish,
1T can simply be put down as one of
those unavoidable accidents that fol-
low the racing game.

NO SECOND HAND
EMF OR FLANDERS CARS

Just how pleased or displeased motor
car owners are with their machines is
very accurately reflected in the small
ad columns of the metropolitan datlies,
according to automobile men and ad-
vertising managers of the newspapers.
If an owner is not wholly satisfied
with his car and the concern from
which he purchased his car is not in
a position to make adjustments,
changes and repairs as should be
made by reputable dealers the owner
will eventually seek to rid himself of
his car by expressing himself through
the small ads of a daily newspaper.
For, given circulation the small ad is
exceedingly effective and yet tnexpen-
sive.
Recently there appeared in the Sum
day edition of a leading daily news
paper in Los Angeles 294 small ads
devoted exclusively TO the sale or trade
of secondhand automobiles, of which
the owners for various reasons wished
to dispose. A tabulation Of the names
of the machines mentioned in these 294
advertisements showed that there were
from one to as high as thirteen cars
of the same makes, all more or less
we'll known machines, but of which the
present owners wished to get rid.
A most remarkable incident in con-
nection with those 294 advertisements
and one of which the Studebaker and
EMF interests are making much cap
ital is the fact that out of the 294 ma>
chimes there was not one EMF or
Flanders car offered for sale or trade.
This on top of the fact that there are
more than 2500 EMF and Flanders
owners in Southern California alone,
pretty nearly proves absolutely that
EMF and Flanders owners are sat
isfied owners.

PLAN TO ABOLISH
CLOSED ROAD SIGN
Autoists Aroused Over Needless
Blocking of RoadWays
by Contractors
LONG DET0URS BURDENSoME
Touring Club President Suggests
United Effort Toward
Law Enforcement

Automoblists who have toured for
any distance this season throughout
the country and particularly over the
popular eastern touring routes have had
many occasions to protest against the
system usually adopted by road con
tractors in closing important sections
of the highways for long periods while
undergoing repairs. So dagrant in
many places and particularly in the
central and western part of New York
has this practice become that many
inquiries have been made to the Tour
ing club of America, asking If there is
any law compelling the contractors to
provide a suitable detour while the
main route is undergoing repair.
In the interest of tourists this con-
dition of affairs was brought to the
attention of Chairman S. Percy Hooker
of the New York highway commission,
and in replying to Secretary Frederick
H. Elliott he explained that the exist
ing law stipulates that when highway
is closed a new location must be pro-
vided, even by the construction of
temporary highway to be used by the
travelling public "if practicable" While
the intent of the law thus seems direct
ed toward causing as little inconveni-
ence as possible to travellers upon the
highway, the words 'if practicable
naturally give the town officials and
contractors an opportunity of evading
the requirement to provide a temporary
road. SO vigorous have the protests
become that an effort will probably be
made toward modifying this statute, so
that when roads are closed for any
length Of time necessitating, as is often
the case, a detour of many miles before
reaching the main highway again,
satisfactory passage may be provided
by the contractor.

certificate is available for France, Ger
many, Belgium, Italy Holland, Aus
tria, Spain Russia and some of the
smaller countries.
The examination of American drivers
is simple and requires very little time.
For instance, upon the tourists arrival
in England he will be met by the Of
fetal examiner of the club, who then
gives him q road test to demonstrate
his driving ability, whereupon, If sue
cessfully passed, a certificate is imme
diately issued and the initial number
plate of the country issuing the GER
tificate is placed over the rear number
plate. The fee for the certificate is
about S., and with this the owner can
cross any of the European frontiers
with his car without changing num-
bers.
In England it is arranged with the
Automobile association of London
whereby an American tourist can en-
joy these advantages by joining the
Automobile association at the reduced
rate of $5.25. This application can be
made through the Touring club of
America and everything arranged be-
fore leaving this country. The Touring
club will then announce the time of
arrival at Southampton or Ltverpool,'
where he will be met by the official
examiner of the club.
The travelling certifcgSe is entirely
from, and should not be, con-
fused with, the triptyque system. The
duty can be deposited with the Touring
club as heretofore and the triptyques
handed to the tourist in America or on
landing. Aside from this the tourist will
have the protection while driving
throughout Great Britain of the splen-
did organization of the Automobile as
sociation of London with it's road
scouts and legal advisors, as we'll as

CAR TRAVELS 65 MILES ON
RIM WITHOUT ACCIDENT

Sixty-two miles running on the rim
would seem to be enough to shake the
life out OF any car, but H. o. PenneIl
rumbled into Morrow, Loomis & Co S
garage one day last week after driv-
ing into Los angeles from point. five
miles west of San Bernardino with no
tire on rear wheel. Mr.. Pennell had
an important engagement in Los An
geles and simply banged his Inter
State through without stopping. Upon
arriving here he finished up his busi-
ness, had new rim and tire fitted
and returned to San Bernardino in
two hours and forty minutes.
He says that had it been suggested
to him nat any car would stand such
treatment without giving trouble some
where he would have considered it i'm
possible, and that while he has al
ways been enthusiastic over his Inter
State, he is now a genuipe booster.
