believes is peculiarly appropriate legsa-

Commenting upon this measure, which
is practically duplicate of the Adam

Nevada thus sets forth the proposition:

tomobile registration had for its purpose
the Identification of the vehicle in order
that its operator might be apprehended
and brought to task if he failed to OBJ
serve traffic rules in the various cities
and states in which the motor car might
be driven. Police authority can be exer-

Sunny California Scene of

Out in sunny California, the land of

Les Angeles, in southern California.
An eight-cylinder Apperson car; with
Claude Hunter at the wheel, was the
first to. make the grade, which rises
about 1000 feet in the short distance.
Huge boulders, piles of snow, tree
stumps and the customary debris of
a mountain wash litter the TRAIL which
ends in an abrupt ditch impossible to
cross.
The Apperson eight with so less
parts" was not the only car to make
the attempt, but it was the only one
to go through. Several motor parties
that had reached the limit of their
cars ability were interested witnesses
to the Apperson triumph. One driver Of
high powered car would not submit
to defeat until, lacking clearance, the
exhaust pipe on his car had beer
smashed and then he decided it was
no place for him.
