Vulcanizers Same To Auto Tires As
 Doctors To People

Warren District autoistS are begin ming to realize the advantages of hav- ing d we'll equipped vulcanizing plant close at hand since Bob BiNhy opened the Bisbee Vulcanizing Company on Subway street. as is evidenced by the many 2utOists who are bringing in vulcanizing work where in the past they would have thrown the rubber away. Bixby's work is by no means confined to repairing leaky inner tubes In many cases he has. sue Coeaed in siving trombone to tive thou sand extra miles 'on castings that. if ucSlccted. would have run but few hundred miles more.

COAST HIT BY TOURIST SLUMP

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 1a. - A slump in trade has hit CaliTornia's tourist business. one of the states biggest sources of income
 Within the past three months trans continental railroad traffic has drop ped off practically 20 per cent. ac, cording to officials of the leading rail roads here.
 This 20 per cent represents practi- cally the entire winter flourish trade on which California resort cities have grown to depend annually.
 Hotel keepers in all parts of the state are reporting heavy cancella- tions of reservations.
 Where last September hotels had reservation lists larger than they could accommodate. they are now struggling to make expenses. Three reasons are given for the sudden dropping off of tourist rev enue:
 FIRST, the recent increase in rail rates.
 SECOND. the general business slump.
 THIRD. the unusually light winter in the east.
 Los Angeles as the principal tour ist city, has been dOubly hard hit, for the tourist slump follows retrench- ment in the movie industry.

ARE SOME COLD WEATHER
 AUTO TIPS

The unusually cold spells this win ter have caused a greater amount of battery trouble among motor car own CTS than is usual in this part of the country. Of course, there is never the trouble of a run down battery freezing, nor does the motor get quite so cold here as in the east and it re- quires much less time to warm up than it does where zero weather is the common thing in winter. How ever, starting on a cold morning places quite a strain on the battery and that part of the power plant should be given more than usual at tention in cold weather.
 In discussing this trouble last week Garage. made the following sugges- tions which will apply to the use of any make of car:
 Remember that Q storage battery is always slightly less efficient in cold weather than in warm.
 Because of the fact that the film of oil in the cylinders becomes sticky and heavier when the motor stands idle for a few hours in cold weather the motor is much harder to turn over. Add to that the fact that gaso- lin vaporizes less easily under these conditions and you have more reasons why starting is sometimes difficult. Keep your battery well charged. and ii necessary prime your engine before trying to turn it over with the starter.
 There IS just one more suggestion have to make. Don't press down on the starter button and hold it down for more than two or three seconds. It is better to release the starter and try again

Locomotive Truck In South Has Own Lighting And

NEW ORLEANS. La. Feb. 12.-A motor truck has replaced a passenger train of the New Orleans & Lower Coast railway. on the 60- mile run from Algiers to Dura, La
 The new ''train," on regular and standard truck chassis. has steel, fang ed wheels for the rails and a car body built in the railroads workshop. There is a ''cowcatcher" in front and an automatic coupler, for hauling trailers, in back
 The locomotive truck also has its own heating and electric lighting system. It has been calculated that the truck has been saving about 9 per cent of the ordinary railroad ser vice cost.

POPULARITY OF STUDEbAKERS
 EXPLAINED

That the marked popularity of Stu debaker automobiles in this section must be based on something other than a name that has been well known through the country for many years must be clear to any autoisI. according to Jimmy MiZe. manager Of the Bisbee Auto Company.
 ''In driving over Cochise county roads what kind of cars are passed most frequently?" asked Mize. ..Fords of course; nearly three to one com pared with any other kind-but what about the larger and higher-powered cars? Anyone who drives much is aware of the fact that there are more Studebakers passed in driving over Cochise roads than any other make of car in the same class.
 ''In January there were nearly three times as many Studebakers reg istered from Cochise county with the secretary of state as there were cars of any other make except Fords. IL is well known that the most Import ant stage lines, as well as the major ity of old-time rent car drivers, are using Studebaker cars.
 "The reason for this is not far to seek. No privately owned auto Is eyeA used so hard or so continuously V as is a rent car or a stage. Many of the men who have been driving these cars have been in the business f0r years. In selecting a car for their business their choice would be a mat ter of fine discrimination and it Is a choice that is followed by many pri- vate buyers.
 Another feature about Studebaker automobiles that necessarily has di- rect bearing on the numbers pur- chased is the fact that in the three main types of cars built there is one to fit the needs of any purchaser, ane vet all three are brought to the same standard of perfection that only a tremendous concern could arrive a' by intensive effort. Of all the pres ent day Studebaker cars all are one of the three tyres. light-six. SpeclaE six or big-six It is true that the diff ference in types is more than mere matter of weight and size. but 1t IS also true that all are built by the same standard and each one is rep resentative of the great trade name Of Studebaker.
 ~It was a Stakeholder ight-siX that recently mode an interesting demon str5tiOn run from San Francisco to Los Angeles. smashing records that have stood for years between the two cities. The outstanding feature of the performance was not tho snenH attained. for the light-six is not built as an exceedingly fast car, but the consistency with which a car of that weight and type held 55 miles an hour on the road."-

or to stop or back, and a uniform method of hand signalling should be prescribed.
 That every motor vehicle or tractor except agricultural tractors, should be required when using public high way to carry mirror which will en- able its operators to see the highway to the rear of such vehicle.
 That motor vehicles registered and operators licensed by any state should be permitted to operate in any other state for a period not to ex- ceed three months in any one year and that if considered necessary for the prevention and detection of thefts the owner of such vehicle should be required to secure, without payment of fee. a certificate from the vehicle commissioner of such other state.
 That the operator of a vehicle ir- -olved in an accident, however caus- ed, should immediately stop. give his name, address and license number and render any assistance necessary. If any personal injury or property damage results from the accident the operator should immediately report the accident in writing to the vehicle commissioner. who shall bring it to the attention of the vehicle depart ment of the state in which such ma chine is registered.
 That all court convictions for vio- lations of the uniform act should be reported to the vehicle commissioner and when the conviction is of per son licensed by another state the fact should be promptly communicated to the officials of that state
 Heavy Penalties
 That heavy penalties be imposed for driving while under the influence fl liquor or a narcotic drug; failing 70 stop and render assistance and dis close identity in the case Of an acci- dent; speeding and reckless opera ton; receiving or concealing a stolen motor vehicle or part thereof. etc
 The conference by resolution rec commended that the proper authorities be authorized to classify grade cross ings as ordinary" and dangerous, and require the latter. in addition to standard grade crossing signs. to be marked with uniform and corspicu- 7us signs specifying the speed al which such crossings may be crossed
 It was also recommended that red lights be assd as signals of extreme danger and for no other purpose ex- cert for vehicle tail lights; and that green lights be used as traffic regu- lation or direction signs and for TO other purpose.

London Air Taxis Cost About Same

It costs about as much to take an airplane in London. as it does to ride in a New York taxi.
 That's the calculation of Prof. R. P. Warner of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a member of the national advisory committee for aeronautics.
 'The charge in England for an air taxi" says Warner, "is A cents a mile for two persons, and an airplane can usually be had at an hours notice.
 That is approximately the same as riding by taxi in New York" The populaticr C orazii $ one-hai that Of tna Jrnited States
