With the laundry business taking

AUTO CLUB MUCH
7 URBED BY
THEFTS Of CARS

Los ANGELES, May 13. - Every
possible effort to protect motorists
and to curb auto thefts will be made
this summer by the Automobile club
of Southern California. according to
an announcement just issued.
Motor-car stealing in the south
er part of the state is reaching the
apex of it's annual activity at this
season. and the recovery of stolen
cars is becoming more difficult as
the art of the thieves becomes per-
fected, it is stated.
More than s1,000,000 worth of autos
have been stolen in the southern
counties since January /, according
to the clubs theft bureau, and only
Al 900 worth have been recovered.
This is not because of inactivity on
the part of the authorities, say the
officials, but because the thieves are
becoming more closely organized
A check is to be kept on all cars
leaving California at any of the
points of exit. and particularly along
the Mexican border. Special officers
have been delegated by the Auto club
to this task.
Motorists themselves are being
warned at all club offices that they
must not for a moment leave their
car unlocked when parking it, as the
thieves get in their dirty work.
within three minutes after the owner
leaves the car. Carelessness on the
part of auto owners is attributed as
the principal reason for the great
increase in thefts here.

The fastest schedule of the Southern

der Buick coupe now holds the time

competitC rs.
This daring dash over three
mountai. ranges, over all sorts of
roads, and in inky darkness for a
great part of the time, Mrs. Ayers
guiding the Buick over the Sislxiyou
mountains in the night, will go down
in automobile circles as one OF the
most meritorious bits of driving ever
chronicled
Not single stop was made from
the time the Buick was checked out
until it reached Portland, with the
exception Of the stops made for fuel
and oil. This record run was not
as spectacular nor as awe inspiring
as the one made in January of 1921,
when six cylinder Buick coupe and
its hardy crew startled the motor
world in hanging up a midwinter
road record of 20 hours, Is minutes

traffic an5 in the face of a terrific

in view of the fact that over 175
miles of the present roads are un-
finished, some being in the course of
construction, the run made by the
fair Californian in a closed car was
a. severe test for both driver and
coupe.
Mrs. Ayers made this sensational
run in the interests of the California
Federation of Business and Profess
sional Women's Clubs, of which Mrs.
Ayers is chairman of the reception
committee, for the convention to be
held in San Francisco June 22-23-24.
In order to prove that the women OF
today can keep pace with the men
in all walk, of life, Mrs. Ayers de-
cided to personally transport the
message of welcome in record break
ing time by motor car. The time
made is the best evidence that the
fair driver knew whereof she spoke.
In commenting upon her expert
ence Mrs. Ayers paid high tribute to
the car which she drove. She said:
'InaSmuch as [ have had consid-
erable experience in driving many
different makes of cars during the
period of the war as a member of
the Wcman's Red Cross Motor Corps,
l feel that | am posted well enough
to judge the merits of an automo-
bile.

Plans are being made for the pro-

TRAFFIC EXPERTS
DISCUSS SIGNALS

A conference was held by the
American engineering standards
committee in accordance with re-
quests received from the Illuminat-
ing Engineering society and from
the International Traffic Officers
association to determine the desira-
bility of standardizing the colors
used for traffic signals. These or
ganizations have called attention TO
the fact that there are being placed
on the market and in use, sema-
phore control apparatus having nu-
merous colored lights at variance
with each other and at variance
with colored lights used for other
purposes along the highways, thus
leading to confusion and to numer-
Gus accidents. In their opinion there
is need OF a thorough study of colors
for traffic signals in order that there
may be national uniformity in the
use of colored lights for such pur-
poses.
1t is the purpose of the conference
to decide:
/. Whether the unification of colors
for traffic signals shall be under
taken.
2. II so, what the scope of the work
shall be.
d. w udI pIOCSQuIS SlldAl Uc IeSOIil-
mended for carrying out the conclu-
sions reached by the conference.
Under the heading Scope OF the
work. it is expected that considera-
ton will be given to the use of
colored signal lights on automobiles,
bicycles, tractors, trailers and horse
drawn vehicles: to their use on sem
aphores and other position signals
along highways and at curbs, to
methods for such uses. and to the re-
lation of such lights TO railway sig
nails, to temporary dangeN signals
placed along highways, ard to fire
exit signals.
1t is believed that in so important
an undertaking the ground must be
carefully prepared by a full and
frank consideration of all that is in
volved, difficulties as well as advan-
tages, in order that everyone con-
cerned may clearly understand the
plan and scope of the work and the
method to be followed. and that each
organization may determine, in con-
ference with the others. it's respon-
sibilities and the part it is to take in
the work.
The status of the subject and the
facts bearing on it as they exist in
the automobile, steam railway. elec-
trio railway and regulatory commits
sion fields will be outlined in a few
brief papers in order to lay a proper
foundation for the discussion of the
necessity for and feasibility of de-
veloping standard colors for traffic
signals.

DURANT PLANT At
OAKLAND WILL BE
OPERATING SOON

Within the next so days the fac
tory, the Durant Motor company of
California at Oakland, is to be in
operation. 1t will add wealth not
alone to the community in which it is
located, but TO the whole Pacific
coast, for the 1890 partners in the
enterprise live throughout the en-
tire territory, from Canada to Mex
leo.
The plant is being erected at a
cost of nearly one million dollars and
has 100000 square feet of floor space
with an annual capacity of $4,000
cars. II will furnish employment for
from 500 to 1000 men in the factory
and an office force of over 200. The
total payroll will be Well in excess
OF 100000 year.
The Durant factory is unusual in
number of ways. One of the officers
recently remarked that it is one of
the few factories in existence that is
built to lit a car" Generally the
factory has been built first, and the
floor space requirements figured out
in the area available. often making
operations cramped and cumbersome
and making additional and unneces-
sary costs of manufacturing. But at
the Durant factory the engineers
hilS w bCtOIG IIIty uHSlS llCu lfle Duiib~
ing just exactly how much space
each operation would require. They
figured il out so the material could
be unloaded at one end of a long
wing where the operations could be
performed one after another in the
most efficient manner as they pro-
ceeded down the straight line of the
assembling room. The chassis mate
rials are assembled on the first floor,
while the body work is done on the
second floor at the same rate OF
speed. When the completed chassis
arrives at the end of it's assembly
line, the completed body is ready to
be lowered on it and made fast Then
the complete Durant is ready for the
testing room. Here is it tuned up by
expert mechanics, who see that it is
in perfect running order before it
leaves the house From there the
cars are rolled to the loading docks
just outside or to the adjoining ware
house.
Every piece of machinery in the
factory will be of the most improved
and efficient type, for automobile
manufacture must not only be car
ried on with the utmost accuracy, but
also with &C nsiderable speed, IL the
car is to be built for price that will
enaDle II 10 compete successfully un-
der the present market conditions.
The efficient production OF any
commodity depends as much on the
spirit of tie workmen as upon the
buildings and tools. This is the hui
man equation IN industry. Contented,
enthusiastic workmen who can and
win produce more than those men
working under the handicap of con-
ditions which are not TO their liking.
At the Durant plant everything pos
sible is being arranged to give the
workmen chance to do the best
possible work The whole place will

After ore Of the most thrilling mo-
tor car trips ever made between san
Francisco and Portland, Mrs. u. kath-
leen Ayers of San Francisco was Of
ficialIy checked in at Portland with
her 1929 Buick four cylinder coupe,
after having made the fastest time
ever recorded for an automobile in
this famous intercity run.
Such a remarkable drive is feat
which would be looked upon as a
marvellous exploit even for the most
experienced male racing pilot. Mrs.
Ayers sat behind the wheel and dreve
the Buick for the greater part OF 725
miles, only occasionally being re-
heved by the official representative
who had been detailed by the How
ard Automonile company to act as
Her escort.
The record is official in every re-
spect, as the Buick coupe and its fair
driver were checked out of San Fran
cisco two minutes after o'clock p.m..

at Portland at 11:43 am, Tuesday,

Dominate Market.

The cotton market again moved for

New Orleans interests. Prices showed
a net gain OF 35 to so points at the best

was present In substantial volume
throughout the session, but II was so
well absorbed by strong interests that
IL had no effect on values. There was
less apprehension over the British po-
litical situation.
Generally optimistic trade reviews as
well as overnight spot advices helped
to promote increased bullish sentiment
in the ring. Sales OF prints at Fall
River were estimated at about $50, 900
pieces. more business being offered In
speculative circles than for some time.
Weekly statistics were rather bearish
but mostly ignored. The visible supply
OF cotton Increased 267 900 bales. against
an Increase Of only $1,000 bales during
the corresponding week of 1921.
Ring sentiment as well as feeling in
brokerage circles was bullish, although
many traders were of the opinion that
the market was ready for another set
back on profit taking. The. advance last
week la evidence that at least fair
short interest had been built up on the
recent rise.
The local market for spot cotton was
quoted 80 points, or 1s cent pound. net
higher, at 1895 cents for middling. The
New Orleans market also was SO points
higher. at 2S cents a pound. Its sales
totaled 1850 bales.
