YOUNG WOMAN COMPLETES
LONG MOTOR CAR TRIP
Lady Overland Machine Driven
Across Continent With
out Mishap

Saturday afternoon pleasant little
woman stepped from a Lady Overland
car in this city. and as her foot
touched the soil of Southern California
she had completed one of the most re-
nlarkable automobile journeys ever
made in this country by woman au-
tomobie driver.
Miss Scott, accompanied by a young
woman companion, left New York city
little less than two months ago to
make the trip from that city to San
Francisco overland. No attempt was
to be made for any time records at any
point of the journey, but more to dem
onstrate the fact that women can
make the transcontinental trip with
out the aid of any of the male sex.
She was to take care of all adjustments
to the machinery of the car, repair
any punctures or change tires If that
were necessary along the route.
A few days spent in the Bay City
and Miss Scott bowled along the coast
route to Los Angeles in a leisurely
fashion, stopping at the prominent

ADOPT RULES FOR
ENDURANCE RACE
Outline Conditions Governing Los
Angeles Phoenix Contest,
November 5
OUTLOOK is FOR rs STARTERS
Promises to Be Biggest Event of
Its Kind Ever Scheduled
in the West

A large and enthusiastic meeting
was held Friday at the Hollenbeck
hotel by local automobile dealers in
the interests of the Los Angeles-Phoe-
nix endurance race, which is officially
scheduled for November 8.
President Bullard of the Maricopa
Automobile club of Phoenix, under
whose auspices the race will be held,
was in attendance, and assisted by
John s. Mitchell of the Hollenbeck,
outlined the new rules and other con-
ditions that will govern the race and
accepted a number of changes, and in
corporated some new rulings as sug-
gested by those present who will be
entrants in the event.
The outlook is for twenty-five start
ers in this big race, which will be the
biggest event of the kind ever pulled
off in the west. The dealers or their
representatives in attendance at the
meeting included the Knox, Apperson,
Buick, Maxwell, Isotta, Mercer, Kis-
sci kar, Stearns, Elmore, Rambler all
of whom stated their intention of maxi
ing entries, the Kissel Kar to make
two entries, and other cars that are
almost certain to enter and were rep
resented by proxy or had previously
declared to Mr.. Bullard or Mr.. Mitchell
their intention to enter are the Frank
lin, Amplex, Ford, Velie. National,
Marathon, Parry, Great Western,
Thomas Flyer. Marmon, Royal. Mid
land, Davis. Duro, Petrol, Doris and
Pope Hartford. 1t is pretty nearly
certain that all of these cars will be
in the race, and considering the big
number it was agreed to start them
fifteen minutes apart from in front of
the Hollenbeck on the night of No
vember 5.
AS the conditions of the race to get
the official sanction Of the A. A. A.
makes it necessary to have at least
six entries, and as 1t is desira BILE to
get this many entries with certified
checks for $3.50 each at an early date,
Mr.. Billiard will be at the Hollenbeck
Wednesday, August g. at 1 o'clock with
supply of entry blanks and printed
copies of the amended rules. There
is no entrance fee to the race, for any
car that actually starts, but the certi-
ned check Is asked for as evidence OF
good faith, and all cars that reach

some serious accident, will Immediate

Miss Scott is enthuiatic over the per-
formance of her car and especially over
the conduct OF the tire which the car
was equipped with, being Goodyear
oversize Miss Scott states that she
never had a puncture until she arrived
at Hastings, Neb., where she picked
UP a nail, but this she easily repaired
and proceeded on her journey.
This is the second car within the past
two months to make this transconu-
mental trip of more than 5000 miles, the
other being a car driven by G. H.
Bigelow, which experienced some hard
knocks along the line, but it was also
equipped with Goodyears, and both
cars came through on the same set of
tires with which they left New York
city Surely nothing could be more
conclusive of the quality and endur-
ance of tires than just such trips as
these, which test tires to their utmost,
but Goodyears get away with 1t every

has caused considerable discussion in
local motoring circles the past week.
If the Apperson is admitted the Same
courtesy will be asked for the 1908
Stearns car, and as representatives Of
both cars say they are willing to take
their chances with the newer models
of the other entrants, and as both
firms are already members of the Lii
censed Dee1ers' association, 1t Is not
thought they should be barred.
Manager Conwell of the MAXWELL
Briscoe company, speaking for his
own entry of the new model Maxwell,
states that while he has an old Max
we'll that has won many contests in
the past several years, that he would
like to enter yet as one of the con-
ditions of the race is that the first
four cars to finish in the race must
be offered for sale at their list price.
he has stood the expense of his new
entry, as it's performances will be a
great advertising factor in the sale of
1911 cars, and that this is the spirit
in which the Santa Monica meeting
is considered by all of the cars now
entered.
The rule that applies to the sixty
days membership in the association in
order to be able to enter a, car in the
race has also come into the discus
sion, and it has been stated that an
excep ion was made in a prior race
and could be again. Setting aside this
rule would in all probability result in
the following firms joining the asso-
citation and making the following en-
tries: Carrfgan Bros, with the Royal
and Midland: Bekins Motor Car com
pany, with the Amplex, and Arnaz
Motor Car company with the National,
as per interviews given out. C. L.
Leppo, manager Of the Kissel Kar
factory branch, states that his COM
pany made application for membership
some time ago and enclosed entrance
fee, but to date has not been noti-
fed of any action taken in the matter.

a seven weeks visit in the east.
Flowers trip, which was on business
combined with pleasure, included visits

turers of the Buffalo truck. He reports
automobile business booming in all
sections visited and everybody enthu-
siastic over the prospects of 1911 busi-
ness.
Large additions are being made to
quite a number of the automobile
plants throughout the east and large
increase in business is anticipated for
the 1911 season. The Thomas plant
will nearly double it's output in 1911
over their 1910 season.
The changes in the 1911 Thomas
Flyer line will include touring car
bodies with fore doors and also gun
boat or torpedo body.
Visits also made for pleasure by

the Bekins Motor Car company, and
the first days demonstration resulted
in a sale to Rex B. Clark of San Ju-
liam, Cal, little town back in the
mountains sixty miles from San Diego.
Mr. Clark has a very large ranch in
that locality, and heretofore has been
using six 6-horse teams to transport
freight from the ranch to San Diego,
taking a week for the round trip; and
now with his new truck he expects to
make a round trip daily, Mr. Clark
puts himself on record as saying that
the delivery of ranch products will
be revolutionized by the use of trucks,
and that such a car will pay for itself
within a year This particular truck
is of five tons capacity, and will stand
fifty per cent overlooking; yet will be
capable of making 10 miles an hour

Science and the Future.

Prof. Edward L. Nichols, in his ad-
dress as retiring president Of the
American Association for the Ad-
yancement OF Science, used these sug-
gestive sentences: With the develop
ment of the doctrine Of energy has
come the conviction of an end Of the
world, inevitable, as the death of the
inevitable. In neither case, however,
is longevity to be regarded as neces-
sarily, beyond human control" Pro
fessor Nichols then went on to say
that biologists are beginning TO init
mate the possibility, remote but think
able, Of a considerable extension of
the term of bodily life, and that it is
equally conceivable that the human
race may so modify and control con-
ditions as greatly to prolong it's ca
reer. The means to this latter end, he
indicated, are the checking of waste
fulness affecting animals, the soil, the
forests and the streams; the solu-
ton of the problem presented by the
gradual exhaustion of natures sup
plies of coal and petroleum; and the
search for ways to utilize. in the form
Of mechanical energy, the radiation
of the sun.

Vacant Lot Problem.

The woman who keeps her own
yard tidy and attractive with flower
beds and shrubs often wishes the city
would force owners to clean the un-
slightly vacant lots. The vacant lot
is quite as much an eyesore in the
small town as in the large one. One
woman secured permission and has
converted vacant lot next to her
home into a flower garden where she
raises flowers for the hospitals. But
there are other uses for them. Some
might be made into tennis courts for
the young folks. All can be cleaned
of rubbish and seeded to grass so
that when summer comes they will
be grass plots instead OF rubbish
dumps.
