SAN DIEGO ROAD
IN GOOD SHAPE

Travel over the auto highway be-
tween FL Centre and San Diego, which
for the past few days has been inter-
fered with on account of frequent
washouts and numerous chuck k-holcs, is
now so much repaired that traffic may
be resumed with perfect safety accord
ing to officials of the local branch Of
the Automobile Club Of Southern Cali
fornia.
The worst place along the route was
on the detour at the head of Mountain
Springs road, where the rain made its
heaviest chuck-holes. This. together
with the frequent washouts above ia
cumba, is expected to be put in perfect
ly passable shape by tomorrow.
The road from Ell Centre to Blythe.
particularly that portion Of it between
Glamis and Blythe. is Quilted out by
frequent nasty washes and chuck-holes
making traffic the worst in the county.

territory, J. H. Conway, manager of
the parts and service departments at
the Oakland factory of the Chevrolet
Motor Company of California. was to-
day the guest of P. Willis, Imperial
Valley distributor for the Chevrolet.
Mr.. Conway on the last leg of jour-
ney which has taken him through Cal
ifornia. Oregon, Washington, Arizona,
New Mexico and Nevada, and was very
enthusiastic over the uniform satisfac-
tion among owners and dealers of the
Chevrolet which he has found through
out the territory.
81 have been wanting to get down
here in the valley for years" said Mr..
Conway, "and after seeing the great
activity and wonderful possibilities of
the valley, can easily understand the
great part dependable motor transpor-
tation plays in rolling up your big
bank clearings. Its an ideal territory
for an ever-ready and economical car
like ours. / want to get down here
again soon; its a veritable Garden of
Eden"
Cliff Evelyn, travelling service su-

RESIDENCE PARK
LOTS SNAPPED UP
BY EAGER BUYERS

Residence Park has leaped into pop
ularity over night. The new addition
of building home sites was thrown
open to the public yesterday and be-
fore night many of the lots had been
sold.
Dickinson & Gillespie, of Minneapolis
lot sale specialists, who are selling Res
idence Park declared it was one of the
most remarkable. sales ever held in the
city and one of the most remarkable
experiences in the history of their bus
mess.
THE far-sightedness of the people
of FL Centro" said Mr.. Gillespie 'is
fully shown by their quick response to
the home owning spirit and an interest
in purchasing in their own home town
and it is very gratifying to US to see
how heartily and interestingly these
buyers enter into the spirit of cooper
alton and civic pride, because holding
a portion of their own city is the ce-
menting of just such ties"
A fine selection is still offered and
statesmen win be there today and to-
morrow.

AUTO THIEVES COME
SOON AS INDUSTRY
BECOMES LARGE ONE

That auto thieves made their first
professional appearance in Southern
California during the autumn Of 1910,
three years after the automobile in
dustry had been declared one Of the
leading factors in Americas CONNER
cial existence, was a part of the dars.
made public yesterday by Fred L..
Baker. recently elected president of
the Automobile Club of Southern Cal
ifornia. the worlds largest motoring
organization.
In his review of events during the
past ten years, during which time
President Baker has served as chief
executive of the big club, he points out
that the southern counties of Califor-
MIA have led the country in automo-
tive advancement in affairs outside
of actual manufacture.
Motor car stealing as q profess
sion had not made it's debut locally
until 1870" says Mr.. Baker, "and it
is interesting to note that the first
cars were stolen in Southern Califor-
MIA at the same time that the head Of
the Pinkerton detectives was visiting
this part of the state.
when it was made known to Mr..
Pinkerton that valuable automobiles
were being stolen, not for joy-rides
but as an actual business transaction,
he at that time declared war on all
such thieves, being an enthusiastic
motOrist himself"

RACING DRIVERS /.
WATCH AT WHEEL

1t is interesting to note that auto
mobile racine drivers, before entering
championship race, give the most
careful attention to the balancing" of
their wheels. A ~acing driver always
keeps in reserve an ample supply of
spare tires mounted on wire wheels.
He supplies the wheels to the tire
cOmpany's representative who mounts
the tires and initiates them to the
proper air pressure. AS soon as the
driver has received his mounted tires
from Goodyear tire men he "balance.
the wheel. The car is lacked up and
moves it is not in balance and the
Wheel applied to the axle. If the
racing driver corrects this by twisting
piece of wire around q spoke or
placing metal washer around the
valve stem, supplying just enough
weight to the rim of the wheel, that
when again placed on the axel in diff
ferent positions the wheel will remain
stationary. A wheel that measures up
to this test is said to be balanced" !"
The object in this is to avoid excessive
tread wear and to gain uniformly Of
wheel revolution.

PLEASED WITH
PREST-0-L|TE

That the electrical timing device
used at the opening of the Los An
geles Speedway was largely instru-
mental in it's success is the general
concensus of opinion among the driv-
ers.
In few straight-from- -the-shoulder
words, spoken in characteristic man.
ner in his quiet, unassuming way,
Ralph de Palma, who is considered by
many as being the greatest driver of
racing cars that ever sat behind
wheel, summed up his, opinion on this
vital matter. "If it weren't for this
wonderful electrical timing device.
they'd never know who won the race"
Contnuinr' he said, "It'is absolutely
essential that perfectly accurate

kind. In an event. such as the opening
of the new Los Angeles Speedway,
where competition is so keen and such

am very glad and L think the same
applies to all Of the drivers, that the
excellent Indianapolis speedway equip
ment was used in the Los Angeles
Speedway race. 1t relieved me of all
worry about the accuracy and depend
ability of the timing. Inasmuch as
the efficiency of the timing device
depends solely upon its source of cleo
trical energy, an infallible, reliable
storage battery should be used. 1t
pleased me to hear that the Presto
Lite Green Seal battery was to be
used, as this particular type of battery
is reputed as being dependable and
According to H. E. Kendall of the
Valley Auto Electric Co., local distrib-
utors of Prest-O-Lite Green Seal bat

much success in this event has made
many new Prest-O-Lite friends and
that their demand has increased con-
siderably as a result

PH|L[EY & GILL
ANNOUNCE NEW
DIAMOND POLICY

The Diamond Rubber Company has
asked it's valley distributors, Philley &
Gill, to make known to tire buyers
the terms of the new Diamond more
mileage adjustment basis, which re-
Gently went into effect.
1t is generally known that Diamond
fabric tires are adjusted on the basis
of 5000 miles and Diamond cord tires
adjusted on the basis of 5000 miles.
The substance Of the communication
received by Philley & Gill is as fol
lows.
"Every tire buyer should understand
that the tire guarantee is thing sep
arate and apart from the Diamond
more mileage adjustment basis. Every
tire is guaranteed against defects in
material or manufacture. whether it
be Diamond or other make. Every
reliable manufacturer has to start
right there-there could not possibly
be a stable industry without it.
"The usual tire guarantee reads
like this: we guarantee al pneu-
matte automobile tires bearing our
name and serial number to be free
from imperfection of material or
workmanship Pneumatic automo-
bile tires are not guaranteed to give
any definite number of miles. 1t is
simply means that if 'in the adjust
ment' of the manufacturer, usage re-
veals an imperfection of material and
workmanship. the manufacturer will
repair or replace it at his option, ad-
justing it according to his own judg-
ment. And it means nothing more.
"But the tire user wants to buy
service. Then how, you properly de-
mand, 'is the adjustment of an i'm
perfect tire made? Just where does
the adjustment begin?' The ouaran-
tee against imperfections gives no
definite reply Here is where the Dia-
mond adjustment basis gives de-
finite answer to all these questions. 1t
clears away any possible misunder-
standing or controversy. 1t. states
that with proper usage perfect Dia
mond fabric tire should deliver at least
5000 miles-a perfect Diamond cord
tire 5000 miles. An imperfect Diamond
tire is so exceptional that an adjust
ment is unimportant to the Diamond
Rubber Company, but an imperfect
tire to the user is too important "a
thing to be ignored. Yet without an
adjustment basis clearly and definitely
stated, tire user with claim against

cars and is returning directly to the
factory from the valley.
Imperial Valley press., 1920-03-06

tire goes into court where there
is no law, but the Diamond adjustment
basis lays down the law, fair to user
and dealer-clear to both.
Hence Diamond first gives the
guarantee against an imperfect tire,
then specifies positively the amount
of your insurance with the Diamond
adjustment basis-6000 miles for
fabrics-8000 miles for cords. That
takes thesrisk out Of the sale of a Dia-
mond tires, both for the dealer and
user"
This communication by the Diamond
Rubber Company is perhaps the most
comprehensive explanation made by
any tire company of the guarantee
question. Philley & Gill say that Dia-
mond tires are fast becoming the most
popular make used by local automo-
bile owners. This popularity they at
tribute to the fair treatment accorded
the car owners and the high quality
of the tire.

IMPERIAL VALLEY
TIRE PRODUCTION

Tires are commonly thought of in
terms of rubber. Yet cotton is one of
the chief materials entering into tire
construction. The carcass, or "body"
of the tire, is built up by the tire
maker of number of plies of "fric-
toned" cotton fabric. 1t is the cotton
which resists the air pressure in the
tube, with the rubber acting as buff
fer between the cotton carcass and the
road or street surface. Tire manufac-
ture demands very high grade of
cotton-a much higher quality than
is found in the usual run of cotton
textiles. A cotton of long staple, or
fibre. is imperative
The cotton which will enter the
I manufacture Of Goodyear tires in the
big plant now under construction in
Los Angeles, CAL. will come from the
company's extensive cotton plantations
in the Salt River Valley in Arizona and
the Imperial Valley in southern Cal
ifornia. To convert the raw cotton
into fabric suitable for use in tire
manufacture, large cotton textile
mill is being erected as one of the
units of the Goodyear plant This mill
will turn out weekly 10000 pounds,
or rs tons of tire fabric.
The power plant contains three 600
horse power boilers of the oil burning
type. An ample supply of water will
come from six 200 foot wells driven on
the tract They will have a combined
capacity of 1900 gallons per minute.
Electric power will be used in pump
ing.
The operation of the tire plant and
the cotton mill will involve the en-
ployment of about 5000 workmen. The
daily output of tires will approximate
$500 and the cotton mill will turn
out weekly $4,000 pounds of cord
fabric and $4,000 pounds of woven
fabric. The raw cotton from which
this fabric is to be manufactured will
come from the Goodyear plantations in
the Salt River valley in Arizona and
the Imperial Valley Of southern Cali
fornia.
A most important feature Of, the
company's project is the extensive plan
to provide homes for the workmen
The construction of 48 bungalows and
two large apartment houses is now
under way on ten acre tract ad-
joining the factory site. About April
1st work will be started on the "Good-
year Gardens" a 100 acre tract just
north of the factory, on which 800
houses will be erected to be sold to
Goodyear employees. This great home
community, which will represent an
outlay of $4,000. 900, will be one of
the most beautiful in the United
States.
Provision has been made for spa
cious parks, athletic field, gymnasium,
swimming pool, school, library,
churches, and stores. And to provide
flowers, shrubs and trees for the
streets and parks large nursery is
being maintained where thousands of
these are being grown under expert
care.
Such satisfactory progress has been
made to date on the entire project,
that Goodyear officials and engineers
are confident the tire manufacturing
plant and cotton mill can begin actual
operations shortly after June 1st as
