Los Angeles QUakes

Los Angeles, July 16-This city
was shaken by a slight earthquake
today. The shock was more severe
than any of series felt here recent
ly except that of the night OF June q
when considerable damage was done at
Inglewood, a town a short distance
south west of Los Angeles and CHM
neys We're knocked down and dishes
broken in the southwestern part OF
Los Angeles
A quick survey showed no damage,
but the survey was hampered by ap-
parently Generalization of the teie-
phone service not through material
damage but because the telephone op-
orators frightened, deserted their
switchboards.
Mortar off Walls.
In the older parts of the city, it
was reported, mortar was shaken from
the walls of brick buildings until the
side walks were nearly white with it.
Throughout the city there was a
general emptying of buildings, the
frightened people, not knowing just
where to seek safety. Crowds gath
cred in many places searching walls of
buildings with their eyes for possible

Two Auto Buses,

The Lamberton Bus> and Transfer
line, with its usual desire to perfect
its service, has added another auto
bus, to its equipment. The new ma
chine is exactly like the bus which has
given such satisfaction to the travel
ing public for the past several years
and was put into service Monday. 1t
is necessary that there be two busses
since the midday trains on the No1S4
western and the Chicago and St. Luis
leave at practically the same time.
The use Of the two will do away with
the use Of smaller ears or the horse
bus in the transfer of passengers. The
LambeTton Line is now completely
'autoized," a baggage truck having
been purchased several months ago,
and the service Of the line is excel
lent.

Note These Tests Made to Proue It's Endurance

Think that a Super-Six stock chassis set the speed record at the rate of 102.53 miles per hour. stock Super-Six holds the acceleration record. And Hudson made the fastest time for the famous Piqes Peak hill climb The Super-Six principle in speedway racing more points than any ing team ever took in single year. And think of Hudson's double transcontinental run of 1000 miles in 10 days 21 hours. No other car equaed it's time in either direction.
 Those tests speak for Hudson endurance-the real reason for it's appeal to you today There can be question regarding its beauty, it's complete ness, it's fneness-advantages patent to any ob- server.

AUTO AND GOOD ROADS NATURAL ALLIES, SAYS FEDERAL SALES HEAD

But the bad road prevents speed, wears oft tires and breaks machinery That's why the Federal Tire Company anl everybody connected with it is boost ing for good reads.

IOVERSPEEDING TENDS TO LESSEN THE LIFE OF
 ANY MOTOR TRU C K

Overspeeding is not only dangerous to others, but like overlooking, is a factor which greatly lessens the normal life of your truck. Most trucks are equipped with governors to prevent excessive driy- ing speeds. II is just as essential to keep down the speed in coasting.
 \ heavy truck in motion represents a tremendous amount of energy whose de- tstructveness increases at much greater ratio than the increase in speed. It therefore requires much more effort to control and 1t can do untold damage should it get beyond the drivers control.
 Excessive speed causes excessive wear. The driving shafts are designed to run at certain speeds below their critical or bending speeds. Whipping of drive shafts does not tend to increase gradually, but

Blanes Bright Lights For Eighty Per Cent of Accidents
 That Happen After Dark
President Estes of Birmingham Automobile Club and Sec retary Harris Call Upon Commissioner of Public
 Safety and Ask That Dinner Law Be More Rigidy Enforced

That the present system of headlights on automobiles in Birmingham is the cause of 80 per cent of the accidents oc- curing after dark, is the statement made by Thornton Estes. president of the Br- mingham Automobile Club Saturday. MT. Estes and Al Harris, secretary of the club, held conference with John H. Taylor, commissioner of public safety, Saturday afternoon in regard to the en- forcement of the dinner law in the city, and it also planned for the board of di- rectors to appear before the city commits sion Tuesday afternoon and make smi- lar appeal, It is urged that alNmembers of the club who can conveniently arrange to be present.
 The city of Birmingham. at present, 1t is stated has a dinner law, but it is not being rigidly enforced, and after a thor oueh investigation of the cause sof ac- cidents in the city, officials of the Au- tomobile Club express the opinion that strict enforcement of this ordinance should be required.
 4 However, MT. Estes points out, there would be more accidents than ever if the dinners were used by only a few driv- Aers, while the others were permitted to use the glaring headlights He states that the heavy light would entirely blind the driver of the car who was observing the ordinance, and an accident of some kind would be the general result. For this reason the Automobile Club is urging that the practice be made universal, and members of the club are heartily sup porting the movement in the city, for it's plausibiity can be easily understood by any one who has faced these glaring lights.
 "Co-operation of our members and oth- CTS, assisted by the city authorities, is the only thing that is necessary Mr. Estes stated \
 A feature being discussed, and which will probably be suggested to the city commission, is the adoption of regulation lenses. which will make the dinner law useless, since these lenses are so con structed that the light waves are scat tered and not thrown in one single ray of concentration, as is done by most of

 Truck tires, particularly the usual solid type, are rapidly destroyed by abnormal speeds. It is here that the cost of over- speeding is most quickly felt by the truck owner.

Auto Business Necessity

The proof that the automobile has be- come a transportation necessity is illus trated by the number of great corpora tions which are buying them in incrcns- ing numbers for the use of their sales men. The Standard oil Company (No. 26 Broadway has just purchased two Essex, roadsters for the use of it's salesmen, according to reports from New York.

 Eight of these lenses have been :n- dorsed by the American Automobile Asso- ciation,, and they are inexpensive. Prac- tically all of the standard types are rec commended by the association. By the Use of these it will not be necessary for the officers to have to wait at night to ap- prehend the offenders, for any man found driving a car not properly fitted with lenses can be warned or placed under ar rest, as the elements of that particular case may determine. This equipment with regulation lenses is required in all of the larger cities, and MT. Estes states that it will be easy to have the system Inaugurated in Birmingham.

 And mark this important fact. Hudsons su- premacy means added complications, weight or size. The patented Super-Six principle applied to a standard type of motor added 72 per cent to power. Motor efficiency is increased 80 per cent. Endurance thus has been increased to limits yet unknown.
