GLIDE WILL APPEAR IN
LOCAL AUTO CIRCLES
Eastern Veteran Considered Mechan-
icaIy Perfect by Designer, but
Appearance Is Improved

This week the Glide is expected to
make it's appearance among the old
faces of the local automobile world,
and when it does the public will have
the opportunity to see one of the most
popular cars in the eastern cities.
One of the veterans of the east is
the Glide, which has been on the mar
Set for many years and which comes
for 1910 with few alterations. No rad
ical changes were found necessary in
the mechanical features, the Glide de-
signer devoting most of his energy to
refining his product.
A touring car, four-passenger road
ster and a four-passenger scout car
are the offerings for the coming sea-
son. The touring car has a 45-horse-
power motor with separately cast CYL
inders and self-contained oiling sys-
tenn, while the ignition scheme utilizes
an Eisemann high-tension magnetic.
The wheel base is 12S inches and 36
by 41a-inch tires are carried front and
rear. The body design has been re-
fined, the result being a roomier ton
neau. The roadster follows the same
general lines with the exception that
it is equipped with four passenger
demi-tonneau body with three-quarter

PLAN TO POSTPONE
: ALTADENA CONTEST
CLASSIC HILL CLIMB GIVES
WAY TO AUTO SHOW
Exhibit of Licensed Dealers Promises
to Surpass Any Event of Its
Kind Ever Held in
the West

That the licensed automobile deal
ers of Los Angeles propose to excel
any previous attempts ever made
locally in an automobile exhibit is ap-
parently settled, for there is not a
moments rest for any and all of them.
Every member of the association is
working in absolute harmony and all
pulling together like a ships crew
hauling taut on the bowline. 1t is
the determination of all to make this
event the classy event of the west, and
to this end there has been appointed a
committee which already practically
has its coats off and sleeves rolled up
to the shoulders, delving into every
thing that will add to the promised
aristocTatie exhibition scheduled for
February 10 to 26.
The fact that the show is 90 be leld
on the dates specified will necessarily
exclude the Altadena hill climb, which
is always considered the convention
al society event of the local world.
and which will be postponed until
probably some time in Marcn, instead
of on Washington's birthday, as in the
past. But as the show will have
brought to the attention of the public
all of the standard cars protested un-
der the Seiden patent and protected
by the licensed dealers, the Altadena
climb will undoubtedly prove to be
the classiest event ever pulled off on
that course.
The following well-known members
of The Licensed Dealers association
have been appointed as the colnmittee
on show, everyone of whom is known
for his hustling ability: r. W. Flint,
chairman; P. II. Greer w. L. Bush.
A. M. Young and H. 1. Fenimore.
1t is no secret that when the show,
which is to be confined to licensed cars,
is over, the Altadena hill climb will
be confined to the cars represented
by the members of the association, and
already preparations are being made
for this event by several of the dealers.
Past records will, in all probability.

lished as the best cars in training"

time. His only comment was:
This turn seems to have a hoodoo
for me, and 1 don't know that 1 will
ever attempt it again"
Two months later he expressed
willingness to race over the course
again, however. 1t is worthy OF men,
tlon that he had suffered a previous
accident a year before on the same
track.
Ralph de Palma, holder of several
worlds records, and driver of the car
which killed Cedrino, says he has
felt a shudder of fear but once

chances he took in breaking the

chances driving recklessly, but 1 did
so through putting out of mind any
thoughts but the reward and honor Of
being successful. My shuddering came
late, but left me almost instantly. L
have never thought of fear since"
Wife as a Witness
Women suffer from fear of racing
consequences. Many drivers will not
permit their wives to see them race.
Jimmy Ryall, noted amateur, belongs
to this class now. He was "cured' at
New Orleans last winter, when his
wife received a severe shock, which
affected her health for some time after,
by seeing MIN in an accident. He was
driving at a mile a minute when q
wheel collapsed. He shot over the car
into the fence and lay as if dead.
While an ambulance went after him
and we waited for news of the acci-
dent, Mrs. Ryall suffered untold horror
and became panic-stricken to the
verge of Mysteries in the face Of assur-
ances that he was probably only
stunned. The experience caused her
to collapse later, and remain ill for
days. Fortunately Ryall was not
seriously hurt. 1t was a week before
he lost dazed look, and he has never
been able to tell what happened.
Mrs. John Newton Cuneo was driv-
ing in this race and won. She is the
only woman in America who has ever
driven fast on track. She has to her
credit a mile in 100 40 and many
around 1:01. She told me she was
able to accomplish the feat by putting
aside all thoughts but speed.
Thoughts of danger have never
bothered me-" she said. IL do not
credit it to particular bravery or cau-
llOu III uTlNlHS. 0OInellOW IL has just
never occurred to me to think what
might happen if I should drive into a
fence or suffer a serious accident It's
peace of mind, l suppose"
But in the face of the deaths and the
many accidents, racing drivers are
springing up on all sides. Some only
go in one race, but others stick. Your
racing man is far different from your
ball player. He mixes with the multi
tude after his contest. He is always
happy to "talk shop" He does not
hide in corner or become grouchy
with the "fan." He is always willing
to make friends and is usually good
natured.
Like other athletes, he must always
be in condition. His endurance must
always be adequate. His nerve must
always be steady, his eyes clear and
his mind sharp and active. His con-
troll must never miss fire an infinites-
imal part of a second; such might
mean death at any time.-Collier's.

CHADWICK HACKERS
SCARED BY THOMAS
FAIL TO COME THROUGH WITH
COIN FOR WAGER
Testimony of FIyabout's Driver Suf-
ficient to Completely CurtaiI
Betting Desire of Garage
Employees

There was an automobile race early
last week which was not scheduled
on any of the programs of racing
events in this neighborhood, but which
was none the less exciting for the
time occupied in the run. This par
ticular event took place on the Avia-
ton field road between a big Chad
wick owned by Fred H. Thompson,
an attorney of this city, and a big
six, seventy horsepower Thomas Flyer
recently purchased by H. c. Wyatt of
the Mason Opera house. The Thomas,
as usual, came out with flying colors.
The owner OF the Chadwick was very
much disappointed over the disastrous
showing of his car against the lyer,
and as a result of the impromptu race,
as he had purchased the car, it is
stated, under the understanding that
he was getting the fastest thing that
runs on wheels.
Upon the return of the Chadwick to
the garage a purse of something like
$3.50 or $500, possibly, was made up
from various sources and sweeping
challenge and def issued and hurled at
Wyatt's chauffeur-Tom Corrigan. This
so pleased the driver of the big Thom-
as, which, by the way, is one of the
handsomest and most completely ana
luxuriously furnished cars ever

telephoned his employer what was
doing. Mr.. Wyatt promptly answered
that "he was not a betting man by
any means, but that his confidence IN
his big Thomas Flyer was sufficient
to let him take a chance for--say n
thousand dollars. Not for his own
personal gain or loss, but he would
permit Corrigan to drive the Thomas
against the Chadwick for that amount
put UP by each side, all of the Win
nings to be donated to the Los Angeles
Orphan asylum.
Well, thousand plunks sort of put
a crimp in the faith of the Chadwick
hackers, but finally a $500 bet was
stated as about right for the Thomas
opponent to go, and they were to meet
Mr. wyatt that afternoon and con-
clude the agreement, and, more to the
point, put up the money. Tuning up
the Chadwick was the next operation,
and Incidentally to spar for wind, ana
MIR. Wyatt was phoned it would be
impossible for them to get to his office
before the following morning.
Evidently a little conversation with
little Bobby, who drives the Chadwick
Flyabout known as No. 16, ana who
has tasted Chadwick's dust on several
occasions, caused some delay in the
proposed call upon Mr.. Wyatt, who is
anxious to make the donation of a
thousand dollars to the Los Angeles
Orphans asylum from money easily
obtained, for there has been no APP
pearance with the coin at the opera
house owners office.

Where the Scout differs from the
roadster is that it has wheel base
of 122 inches and is equipped with Al
by 4-inch tires front and rear. Using
a drop frame lowers the bodies and also
gives a straight-line drive. The Glide
uses q multiple disk clutch which has
thirteen large disks, 13 and II inches
in diameter alternately, and running
in an oil bath within the t1ywheel.
only one universal point is used and
that runs in oil in a dust-proof hous-
ing. The propeller smart also Is
hoIIsed and the transmission and diff
ferentials are made dust-proof and
oil-tight. The Glide springs are made
from vanadium steel with babbit bush

Mr.. Thurber, as a result of his long

strange pilgrimage in Norway, Mr..
Thurber said: "a motor car had never

ventilation is concerned. the principal
point is the retention OF wind force to
assist in ventilation when only the ami

produce ventilation. The assistance of
the wind is of great service and should

sible. A method of securing this ad-
