TAFT is Welded TO HIS BLUM
pERS.

~ President Taft is admittedly the
greatest blunderer who has occupied
the office of chief executive of this
country for more than generation.
But all his other. blunders combined
are not greater than the blundering
ebstinacy with which he clings to
his blunders. A, wise man corrects
his errors at the earliest possible
moment. but Taft is not eligible 10
membership in that class. He is
somewhat like the man who swore
that a certain horse was is feet high
when he meant TO say IS hands
high. His attention being called to
the apparent error, he asked what he
had said about the height OF .the
horse and was assured that he had
testified that it was 16 feet high. At
ter due consideration he decided that
having said that the horse was 16
feet high he would stick to it al
though in fact the horse was only is.
hands high.

TAFT AND ROOSEVELT.

IT is reported that Roosevelt when
he returns will support Taft. How
g. could he do otherwise?, He made
Taft president and is in duty bound
to try and make him a success. If he
fails after reasonable effort then
1T will be time enough for an open
break.
II Roosevelt should Immediately up
on his return, commence to oppose
the President his motives would be
open to all kinds of suspicion, and
he would without much doubt make
enough enemies to prevent him from
eyer again becoming the nominee Of
his party for the presidency. But if
he fails to reform the man in the
White House. after labored en-
dea aNs' the situation would be en-
tirely changed. Y

AUTOMOBILE CLUB
POSTPONES RUN
TO MALIBU RANCH
Action Taken So as Not to Con-
fIiCt with Racing Events
at M0tOrdrome
AFFAIR PUT OFF ONE WEEK
Southern California Enthusiasts
Plan Outing to Be Unique
in Many Respects

Owing to the conf1iction Of dates with
the Motordrome races by having the
Automobile club of Southern Califor-
MAS run on April 16, the date has been
advanced to April %. There are a ma
1ority Of the club members who would
like to participate In the run, and at
the same time not miss the races, and
Roy p. Hillman, president Of the club,
is also the official representative of the
American Automobile association, max
ing it impossible for him to participate
in both the run and officiate at the
races on the same date.
Cards announcing the date have been
sent out, and 1t Is safe to say that re-
turns will be enormous from the con-
stant inquiries that have been received
concerning 1t.
All cars will assemble at club head
quarters, 1923 South Hill street, o'clock
Saturday morning, April 23 Club MEM
bers are to invite friends, the only pro-
vision being that they give the number
of their party on the return card in
order that ample provision may be
made and carry enough oil and gasoline
for a sixty-mile trip. 1t is one thing to
plan a barbecue and bull-head dinner
for large number and quite diff
ferent thing to run short. The Auto
mobile club of Southern California
never has done things on a niggardly
SCdle anu QO6S not Intend TO DeBln now.
The route is to Santa Monica, along
the short drive to Malibu ranch, and 1t
is safe to say that the run of about
thirty miles in the crisp sea air will
give a zest to the motorists appetites
which will enable them to enjoy the
barbecue to the fullest extent.
A better objective point could not
have been selected for such trip, as
the run combines all the most pic
turesque elements in Southern Califor-
MIA scenery. The inland views will be
from Los Angeles to Santa Monica.
From there on will be the ocean and
the mountains, and then the beautiful
canyons Of Malibu ranch.
The barbecue will be in the beautiful
sycamore grove on Malibu ranch, and
club members and their guests may
amuse themselves in various ways, as
fancy dictates.
Club members who cannot leave at
o'clock and who are familiar with the
route can make the trip later in the
day, but they should try and get there
in time for the barbecue. Those who
do not know the route may obtain
directions by calling up club head
quarters.
The principal objects of the club are
good roads and proper legislation. The
slogan of the club is Join and Boost"
and all good, loyal members are re-
quested to lay aside everything and
endeavor to attend the run-and have
zone bully good time"

even the baseball players caught the

for this is the added zest to life and
the recuperation to the jaded nerves

them to withstand the hustle and
nerve -racking lives that most Thes-

WARNER HERE To TIME
MOTORDROME EVENTS
Inventor of Famous HorOgraph
Says He Will Accurately Re-
cord Speed of Cars

c. H. Warner, secretary of the War
ner Instrument company and inventor
| of the famous Warner electric racing
timer, arrived in Los Angeles yester-
day. He will act as official timer for
the motordrome opening meet, April
to II, using the 'horograph," as the
device has been named
Until the Warner horograph was in
vented no absolutely accurate method
of registering the speed in motoring
events had been devised. But Mr..
! Warmers device records exactly to the
six-thousandth, part of a minute, and
| the machine to be timed does the work.
The high speed that has been devel-
oped in automobile racing, and which
will be given big jump forward by
the motordrome, makes a purely me-
chanical appliance more necessary
| than ever.
Mr. Warner foresaw this and set
about to offer something more salts
factory than the ordinary method of
timing races. Applying the magnetic
principle to the measurement of speed
had worked so well in the Warner
autometers and aerometers that hC
followed the same line in constructing
the horograph.
The result is an automatic instru-
ment which will catch a speed of 200
miles an hour as easily and correctly
as q ten-mile gait. 1t goes further
and prints the elapsed time down to
hundredths of a second, so <iere can
be no dispute. 1t may be operated
from a point mile or more away, and
may be cut out for a certain car if de-
sired.
Timing is accomplished by stretching
a wire across the track and as the
front wheels of the car depress this
the horograph is set in action by Civ
ing an impulse to an electrical relay.
Through this a printing hammer is
actuated by which the exact time
elapsed from the moment the instru
ment is started is stamped on a strip
of paper. Four type wheels, indicating
respectively hours, minutes, seconds
and hundredths of a second, are
mounted on a shaft driven by small
electric motor.
All that the operator needs to do is
to operate the little cutout switches,
which will connect or disconnect the
instrument from the wires that are
stretched across the track, and to jot
down the number of the car on the
paper opposite the time that may be
stamped. The result is not only an
absolutely accurate record, but one
which is also permanent and which
may be forwarded to the contest board
or elsewhere for examination If de-
sired.
Only one instrument has been con-
structed and it remains the property
