NEW SOCIETY Of
AUTO|s7S FORMED
Western Automobile Association
Causes Much Enthusiasm
in Pacific States
ALL COAST CLUBS TO JOIN
Feeling Is Against AffiIiation with
the A. A. A. Because of
Sights
ALL COAST CLUBS TO JOIN

From the clubs in all four states
included in the proposed Western Au-
tomobile association reports are COM
ing in indicating great enthusiasm
among western motorists who are
working for the new organization. 1t
is now practically assured that every
club on the Pacific coast will be rep
resented at the meeting to be held at
the Hotel Washington Annex in Seat
tie next Sunday evening.
Several California enthusiasts have
been in Seattle since the plans for
the association were first discussed.
All have been shown the advantages
to be gained by motoring generally
from such an organization, and all are
now boosting the good cause.
While number OF those interested
in the formation of the association
have proposed affiliating with the
American Automobile association, it
is considered unlikely that such action
will be taken. There is quite feel
ing against the A. A. A. on the coast,
and there are few members here. 1t
is argued that the Three AS" has
had plenty of opportunity to show
coast automobile owners that they
would benefit by joining, but has not
done so. Another argument advanced
is that the people in the east behind
the A. A. A. know nothing of condi-
tions in the west, and so would not be
able to lntelligently assist them in
any way.
WORK IT'S OWN SALVATION
The consensus of opinion seems to be
its own salvation. These questions
will all come up at the meeting next
week and will be thrashed out then by
the delegates themselves.
l. p. Lowe of California and e. II.
Wemme' of Portland are still the only
men mentioned for president of the
new organization. Seattle put forth a
candidate for secretary In the person
of H. E. Mcdonald, automobile edi-
tor of the Seattle Times. Los Angeles
will present the name of w. G. L..
Tucker, automobile editor of The
Herald. 1t is practically assured that
San Francisco or Los Angeles will be
selected as headquarters, it~being gen.
orally admitted that one of these two
cities is the proper place for the gen.
eral Offices. +!
Plans for the entertainment Of the
delegates to the meeting are being
celebration to be held here on Labor
day, when automobile clubs from
Western washington, British Colum-
bia and Oregon will be the guests of
the Automobile club of Seattle. Cars
will be furnished the delegates from
a distance who do not bring their
cars here. A big parade, including
a drive over the city, and banquet
in the evening, are the features OF
club officials have announced that the
club rooms in the Eiler building, Third
and University, will be open at all
times to the visitors.

DELIGHTFUL AUTO ROUTE
DISCOVERED BY NELSON

There are some fine auto trips In and
around Los Angeles that are not well
known to the touring public. One OF
these was taken last Sunday by Man
ager F. o. Nelson of the Diamond Ruo-
ond his brother and his wife.
I'VE took the regular road to Re
dondo" said Mr.. Nelson, then cut
across the Palos Verde hills through
the big sepulveda rancho, where we
made a stop for dinner. After lunch
we teased the finny denizens of the
deep with not little success. This
Is a beautiful days trip. The road
GOOD and the scenery en- route is well
worth the price of admission.

BOARD REINSTATES THE
PARRY AUTO COMPANY

The Parry Auto company, having
been DISQUALIFIED on June 2S for viola
ton of the 1910 contest rules in refus-
ing to abide by the decisions of the
referee in the 1910 Glidden tour and
by appealing therefrom to the courts
at Kansas City for an injunction re-
straining the tour, and having upon
their application for reinstatement sat-
isfied the contest board that at the
time of making such application to the
courts they were in ignorance of the
recourse afforded entrants by the con-
test rules, and having withdrawn such
court procedure and all statements
and allegations made against Automo-
bile Association of America officials.
the disqualification of June 2S has
been revoked and the Parry Auto COM
pany on August was reinstated to

FOR 1871 SEASON

MACHINES ARE IMPROVED

M. Ray Costerisan of the Consoli-
dated Motor Sales company of Los An
geles will soon be added to the con-
tingent of enthusiasts whove just
been to the factory" and the wires
between here and the Southern Motor
works of Nashville, Tenn, manufac-
turers of the Marathon, have been
kept busy for the past week and tell
a most interesting story:
"Mr. Costerisan has placed an order
for 200 cars for the coming season. A
great improvement is shown in the 1911
models over the extremely classy car
of 1910, especially in the still higher
grade of finish and even more grace
full lines. The wheel base has been
heightened to 116 inches and in the full
torpedo to 100 inches, 20-inch steering
wheel, high tension Bosch magnetos.
with an increase of horse power to 80.
together with aluminium decks and
35x4 tires, placing the car about $500
ahead of its already high standard of
the past seasons, which has always
been at least $500 better than any car
of it's class"
That's the story the wires tell-but
that's only the first chapter, and very
interesting continuance is to be pub
lished in the news OF the races here
abouts this coming season.
The Marathon intends to figure and
figure prominently both in the Phoenix
and the Santa. Monica races. Accord
ing to C. 2. Englehart, who'll do the
driving, a car that will show some
speed will be among the early arrivals
of the several carloads of Mar rathons
that are about ready for shipment. Mr..
Englehart, who has been in the auto
mobile game for years in all its vari-
Gus stages and is one of the most
widely known and best informed au-
tomobile men on the Pacific coast, is
all enthusiasm about this Marathon
racer and Marathon prospects in gen
eral. He promises this to be one of
the something doing cars of the
coming racing season and one that is
liable to spring to the front and stay
there.
The Consolidated Motor Sales COM
pany is one of the most prominent and
successful automobile concerns along
the South Olive street automobile row.
They report an excellent business and
their sales rooms are among the 1arg-
est and handsomest In the city. They
claim that their 1911 contract insures
them the same prompt shipments from
the factory, thus enabling them to
have their cars ready for immediate
delivery as in the past season.

Fels-Naptha takes the dirt out without
