PLANS ARE COMPLETED
FOR SANTA MONICA RACE
Chairman of Western Auto Associa.
ton Goes Over Famous
Course.

LOS ANGELESC, Cal, January 3
Plans for the Vanderbilt and grand
prize races, scheduled for Santa Monica
February q and %, took tangible shape
during last week when Chairman Leon
T. Shelter, chairman of the race COM
mittee of the Western Automobile Asso-
citation. visited the beach city and went
over the famous speed course. Several
changes will be made in the speedway,
and patrons of races at the beach in
other years will hail with delight many
of the innovations planned.
Chief of these is change in the To-
cation of the grandstand. In the past
the viewing structures have been situated
on the Ocean boulevard. a short distance
around the lower Palisades turn. This
permitted of watching the cars Straighten
out after negotiating the bend and also
of beating it, down the long stretch.
The cars attained their highest speed
after passing the sand, and its occu-
pants had nothing except a rear-end view
of the juggernauts when they were at
their highest efficiency.
In all probability the grandstand for
the Vanderbilt and grand prize events
will be located on the Palisades. that
stretch on which some cars are said to
have made 100 miles an-hour. Any spot
along here permits of watching the racers
whirl around one turn, reach their very
highest speed and disappear around an
other bend in a whrl of dust.

makes little difference. for usually the
garage will merely add a cheap coat OF
paint and sell it as it stands. But the
second hand odor is still there, never
theleSs.
Factory Has Facilities.
ION the other hand, if the factory
which originally built the car takes it in,
trade and is thorough in its overhauling
work it will emerge very different prop
osition The factory, with it's large stock
rooms can afford to overhaul it cheaper
than the individual or garage. and extra
pains in this respect are well repaid by
gaining satisfied owners.
I'VE have found it to our advantage to
thoroughly overhaul all our own make of
cars which we take in trade, either di-
rect or through our branches, and it not
infrequently happens that the purchasers
OF our factory rebuilt cars secure prac-
tically as much actual mileage and serv-
ice out of them as the original owners
Of the cars obtained.
THE process of rebuilding these cars is
interesting and very convincing to any
one who has never appreciated how long
a well built motor car will last when
properly overhauled and taken care of.
Most of the vital parts are as good ten
years from the time they were first put in
the car as originally, and the greatest
amount of replacement comes in bearings,
small bushings, brake bands, etc, which
are more or less exposed to grit and
wear.

by Frank p. Fox of this city, comprising

There is possibility, however, that
one of the above-named cars. the Anel.
may cheat the speedway out of an addi-

mated, it is said. to place Bob Burman
in the saddle. letting him build it to suit
himself. In that case it's name will
probably be changed to ''Burman Spe-

Word has been received from England
that Harry Grant, who competed last
year in an Isotta, has purchased two
Sunbeams for entry here. Several other
foreign entries are also reported to be
brewing, according to a group of Ameri-

from abroad, among them Spencer

Occasionally a motor is harder to start
after 1t has been running and is warm
than when 1t is cold. This is due to the

Leading Road Engineers and Experts

Conferences.

Having made a somewhat exhaustive
investigation into road construction I'M
der differing traffic conditions, the COM
mittee on the construction of macad-
amlzed roads, bound with tarry, btu
mlnous or asphaltic materials, as prac-
uced in the United Kingdom has just
made its report. A copy of this work.
which is the product of conferences of
some of the leading road engineers and
experts of Great Britain, has been for
warded to the National Highways Pro-
tective Society of New York. One of the
most interesting things revealed by the
report is the comparative lightness of So
called heavy traffic in England. On
this point it says:
The committee consider that light traf-
TIC means under seventy vehicles per day,
including an occasional traction engine
or heavy motor; medium. 10 to 80 vehi-
Giles per day, including not more than )
Der cent of traction engine or heavy
motor or similar heavy traffic; heavy,

Nothing for Our Roads.

Even the heaviest of these ratings
would be a mere nothing for our roads.
For instance, count kept during the
past summer on Thomson avenue, which
leads from the greensboro bridge out on
Long Island. showed a daily average OF
1900 vehicles. It is apparent, there
fore, that road problems here and abroad
differ widely.
None the less, some of the conclusions
of the English report are of interest to
road builders here. The committee found
that it was advisable in constructing
new roads or reconstructing defective
roads TO sustain modern traffic, to in
sure efficient drainage and cover the
subsoil, where composed of clay or other
non-absorbent material with from three
TO six inches of destructor clinker or
