PULLMAN PORTER MAIDS
TRY NEW MODEL BUCKS
Cars Glide Over Asphalt as il
Tuned for Occasion

A car that goes so fast as to have
the force of the wind break the wind
shield, is a good car to tie up to.
Manager Frank S. Howard of the
Howard Automobile company, local
distributors of the Buick, had this
peculiar experience Friday. While rae
ing downtown to keep an appointment,
the force of the wind broke his shield,
and unfortunately drove a big piece
of glass through his shoe, and when
he arrived at the garage his shoe was
full of blood; but not until he started
two new model Bucks away with the
Pullman Porter maids, playing at the
Los Angeles theater this week would
he go to a doctor.
With their handsome cargo of fem
ininity two big 1911 Bucks rolled
around the better residence portion of
Los Angeles for several hours, and
without having been tuned for the
occasion, these cars glided over the
asphalt with just the same firmness. as
has always characterized Buick cars.
The little ladies of this popular show
company took turns in plotting the
machines, and had there been any
speed cops in evidence some fair faces
would have been up before the trial
Judge for speeding: but it would have
been a hard-hearted judge who would
have sentenced them.

AUTO PILOTS JOB NO
SlNECURE ON LONG TOUR
Peculiar Customs Develop in En-
durance Runs

Although he was beyond doubt un-
aware, Pilot Harry Ward, the official
in charge of the Munsey tour which
closed several days ago, had been,
through all the 1850 miles of the tour,
virtually a prisoner on the EMF 80
pilot car assigned to his use. Without
knowing it, his every movement was
watched and, had he made any at
tempt without reasonable excuse, to
cover a foot of the journey in any
other car he would have had the fact
brought to his attention in a most
surprising way by Driver Lee w. Old
field of Detroit.
The condition brings to light one OF
the peculiar customs which are be-
ing developed by the American type
of endurance run.
Before he left the EMF company's
factory in Detroit Oldfeld was in
structed that his main duty consisted
in retaining possession of the person
of the pilot
"I'n keep that man Ward in my
car if I have to sandbag him." re-
marked the driver, and set his jaw in
determined style.
I3e II KNOWN llldl lIt pllOL Col VI cbii
automobile tour is vehicle in which
mechanical difficulty or delay from

This car has been always the path

be gold coin, with a minimum of
S20OO for it is a race in which the
winner will take all.
The cash purse may reach $4,000, as
all entrants will pay a fee Of $3.50. 1t
will be so alluring that even in the
event of q smashup the owner Of the
car will have reimbursed himself for
his car. The prize being in gold coin,
it will make it possible for the Win
ner to have the amount of his prize
on display in 100 cities at once if he
desires, for each agency can draw
that amount of money from the bank
and exhibit the coin.
Reverting to the first proposition,
that the A. A. A. gives its sanction to
a Santa Monica meet, 1t is possible to
do this and avert a clash of authority.
1t may be that in the event that such
a sanction was not given that some
drivers would not care to enter the
race, as they might be considered out
laws and be barred from association
tracks. But as Mr.. Ferris says, with
all due respect to the a. A. A, there
is a well grounded feeling that west
ern, and particularly Pacific coast, au-
tomobile interests have not been re-
ceiving the consideration from the
parent association that this part OF
the country deserves.
He asserts that unless there is soon
shown a disposition to grant larger
representation on the executive board
to the Pacific coast states the insur-
gency that is already impending will
find crystallzation in an Independent
association to control auto racing con-
tasts and all other automobile interests
on the coast.
The association that will be formed
in Seattle on September Is is in real
ity a protest of the somewhat arzi-
trary manner in which the territory
west of the Rockies has been treated
by the A A. A. While it is not de-
sired to disrupt the older association,
if proper concessions will be made
yet our own interests are too big to
have them handled lightly by body
of men thousands of miles away so
far, in fact, that it makes it burden
some to delegates from this coast to
attend its regular meetings.
The writer is but VOicing the many
comments that have been made in
matters pertaining to the motor car
interests and has no personal desire
to see a disruption, but should such
occur will certainly line up with things
that are best for our own people, and
above all will insist that no coterie
of dictators be allowed to have their
way undisputed. In all that pertains
to the automobile racing sport there
must be breadth of action and clean
cut purpose.

agement or failure of product to make
good" is not the slightest indication
of any unsoundness in the industry in
general. A certain percentage of fail
ure is to be expected in any line of
business, and if some motor car manu-
facturers fail, 1t Is distinctly a sign of
health and naturalness of the industry,
rather than a general bad omen. A
few failures will curb the tendency
to overproduction, and allow gradual
alignment of the lines of production
and demand, without any general col
lapse which might be the case if all
of those engaged in the industry re-
mained in a prosperous condition until
the point of overpruduction had been
reached.

FIRESTONE COMPANY TIRES
MAKE RECORD SHOWING

Since the Munsey historic tour ended
a week ago dozen telegrams have
been received by the FirestOne Tire
& Rubber company from as many con-
testants, expressing appreciation of the
perfect service received from their
tires and demountable rims.
1T is a significant fact" said j. f.
Singleton of the Firestone company,
that of the eight cars using our tires,
not one blowout or rim cut, or tire
defact of any kind developed, and only
six punctures all told were reported.
| believe this is the only case on rec
ord where thirty-two tires Of any one
make all went through such a terrific
l5OO-mile experience with 100 per cent
perfect service. l doubt if any other
make of tires can ever equal this rec
ord. Four sets of our demountable
rims were the only ones used through
out the entire tour, which shows
preference for up-to-date rims that
needs no further comment from us

MOTOR GOSSIP

Lewis Denker, owner of the second
big six Franklin of 1910 model brought
to Los Angeles this week, had rear
tire replaced after making over 13,00C
miles with the old one. This is but
another record of what Goodyear de-
tachable straight side oversize tires
will do, and especially with DenkeI
driving the car, as he is known as one
of the hardest drivers in this section
of the country on both car and tires
The Howard branches and agencies
now extend along the coast from
Alaska to Mexico, Portland being the
last link in the chain. The Portland
branch will be under the management
of Mel G. Johnson, one of the best
! known auto men on the Pacific coast
About six months ago the Diamond
Rubber company in Los Angeles began
to specialize on motorcycle tires A
new type, manufactured on the same
principle as automobile tires, has been
especially popular, and Manager F. o.
Nelson is both surprised and pleased
over the great progress made in the
comparatively short time

tionaries for Tired People" has been

agency is anXiously awaiting the ar
rival of three or four carloads Of the
new tWo-cyIinder Buick runabOuts,
which have just been shipped from
the factory. This IS a new model that
will sell for $500 in Los Angeles. 1t
has never been shown on the coast,
and great things are expected of the
little car.

new title of an entirely new company.
Their business is the selling of auto
mobiles at Wholesale. The retail rep
resentatiye is the Lord Motor Car
company, who have the Los Angeles

wholesale department is new thing
1t is in effect a factory branch. L. j.

pleted an extensive trip, not only

good but nowhere better than west Of

good thing in every line, and this
time Warner Speedoemters are it.
Fifty per cent increase in sales is a
pretty good proof

past week are listed as follows: ]. N.

Eighty-one new members were added
to the membership Of the Southern
California Automobile association dur
ing August. The total number of
members to September l was 1858, the
largest of any club west Of Chicago.
AS the clubs principal object is to
boost for good roads, it deserves the
hearty support of all automobile own
ers in this part Of the state.

INCREASES ALLOTMENT
OF INTERSTATE CARS

pedo and before he had been away
from the city two days Mr.. Morrow be-

wired the Interstate factory asking for
an increase of his company's allot-
ment of 1911 cars of so per cent.
The accompanying photograph shows

seems to create a great deal of in

to be one of the most popular in the

CAR WITH DIAMOND TIRES

Although he purchased the first and
only automobile he ever personally
owned less than a month ago, Theo-

for a 1911 Haynes car for delivery at
an early date. Manager F. o. Nelson
of the local offices of the Diamond
Rubber company is authority for the
statement that Colonel Roosevelt's S
first car has Diamond tire equipment
and also that the same tires have
been specified on his second purchase.
The size is 34x4 and the quickacting
rims are used. Colonel Roosevelt S
present Haynes machine is a 30-horse-

slightly larger. His registration tag

Cop Reports and the
Markets

The harvest is on in full blast on
the ridges near Kandrick and from
reports so far we unde, stand that
wheat will probably average nearly
% bushels on spring and winter
grain combined; fall wheat varying
from 20 bushels on stubble to 40 on
summer fallow; spring wheat will
probably average as follows: about
one-third the crop at about 20
bushels. one third to be cut for hay
and one-third total loss.
The crop OF oats and barley we
understand is very short in this i'm
mediate vicinity, though some few
tracts which were planted early and
got a good start ahead of the dry
weather will turn out fair.
The hay crop is fair and in some
places it is claimed to be full as good
as last gear.
While it is too early to say much
about the market. the following is
from the most reliable sources:
wheat will start at about so cent for
No. Club, with Bluestem 1c higher
than Club. On oats we have heard
no quotations, but it is probable
that for the man who buys, the
price will be enough, depending
much on the local demand. Hay is
bringing today about $3.50 with
indications that the sky is the limit.
