MOTORISTS HAPPY,
PLANS MADE TO
REMEDY BAD
MUD BOG

Every auto owner in this part CT the
state who has occasion to stray from
his own fircsidc, at some time or ether
travels the coast route. Good news ls
here for those who do.
According to IN announcements Just
made by the touring bureau of the Au-
tomobile Club of Southern California
preparations are under way for the
paving of the mud bog ON the coast
highway near San Diego.
This has long been sore spot on ar
otherwise pleasant tour along the eceal
for thousands OF eastern visitors-al
most as bad, it is pointed out, as the
famous corrugated highway which a
one time was remedied by Oceanside OF
the same route.
Numerous complaints of motorists
throughout the entire southern part of
the state. in behalf of the eastern tour
lists to the coast, apparently have had
some effect, for the Auto club states
that La .Jolla and San Diego are both
stirring themselves to action to com
plete the paving of this last important
link on the coast highway which is of
greater Importance than is commonly
supposed.
Various municipalities throughout
Southern California are also waking up
to the fact that some road improve
mcnt can be carried out to advantage
within their own bailiwicks, according
to the Auto club, and n general clean
up of numerous small stretches of bad
Highway which mar some otherwise
perfect tours is going ilrao effect this
spring.
Never before in the history of Cal
ifornia has this entire section occupied
such an important position rs host to
eastern motoring visitors, and it is in
dieated that the various counties are
coming to realize this fact in the move
mcnt to improve local highway condi-
tions.

AUTO FANS TURN
ATTENTION TO
RACES AT
COTATI

Following the big 2J0-mile race over
board of the Beverly Hills speed plant
at Los Angeles, interest of motor car
fans throughout the state will be turned
to the North Bay counties speedway
at Cotato, half way between Petaluma
and Santa Rose, where on May Z,
big speedway race will be held which
should sulpass all former efforts made
by those directing the Sonoma county
bowl.
J. Francis O'Connor, president of the
North Bay counties speedway associa
ton, is at present i'll the east where he
is looking over racing conditions pre-
paratory to linging up fast field for
the May event. 1t is practically as
sured that Pietro Borlino, the Italian
flash who has invaded America in an
effort to gain additional laurcls here,
will be on hand when the May event
takes place at Cotati and his presence
will add considerable color to the field.
Bordino will not be the only popular
entry on hand for such luminaries as
Jimmy Murphy, Tommy Milton, Ralph
De Palma, Joe Thomas, Roscoe Sarlcs
and others of equal note have signified
their intentions of participating. AS
soon as O'Connor returns from the
east full plans for the May event will
be divulged In the meantime Califor-
MIA is coming to be known as the cen
ter of the speedway racing in America
with such plants as those at Los Ange-
les, Fresno and Cotati framing events
for the coming months.

Ell CONTEST TO
NAME MICHELIN
TIRE MAN
STARTS

Valley Auto Supply company, the 10
cal Michelin tire dealer is very Ell
thusiastle these DAYS over the nation
wide contest now being conducted by
the Michelin Tire company offering
$1,000 in cash and sixty-five other
prizes for securing a suitable name fol
the interesting tire man which has beer
feature of Michclip advertising foI
many years, and whose antics have
amused countless thousands of people
1t seems this tire man already has 2
name, but the Michelin company feels
the name IS not exactly suitable be
cause it is not a name easily under
stood or remembered, in short tho
Michelin man is known as Bibendum
but while Bibendum is a good name IL
some countries, it is hardly suitable
FOR AmericaA use.
The story about the original naming
of the Michelin man takes the reader
back to France where the modern pneu
matte tire had its birthplace in the
Michelin works at Clermont- Ferrand
a city of 10000 busy people away up
in the mountains in the south eentra
part of the great republic beyond the
seas. The story goes that the Michelil
HldH WAS utStlottt IfuAA IL Sfuut IuSs
suggested by workman in the Niche
lin factory This workman noticed tha'
a pile of tires, carelessiv assembled
bore crude resemblance to a man
He mentioned this to a member of the
advertising staff, who later developed
the idea, using tires of different sizes
The services of the celebrated FrencI
cartoonist O 'Gallot were then called in
and soon the Michelin Tire man became
a reality.
After selecting d name and phrase
the contestant simply mails them to
the Michelin factory at Milltown, New
jersey, sometime between March lst
and March 25th. The contest closes OF
March 25th and names sent in after
that date viii not be considered.
OF course the wouldbe contestant
should first learn all he can about
Michelin tires and the Miehehn mar
before he starts cudgeling his brains
for name and phrase. To help him
the company has provided the Valley
Auto Supply, the local Miehelin dealer
with circulars telling all about the
house of Michelin.

Place NelU License Plates
InRightPl0ce, Club Warns

DO not let the spare tire conceal
any part of the plate,
BE sure that the rear light of the
car shines fully upon the license plate
This is important, warns the club,
through its safety bureau.
Crank handles often obscure a por-
tion of the license number and this
must be guarded against.
Remember that the license plate has
to be sixteen inches abo*e the surface
of the road.
Do hot allow the extra tire rack to
conceal any part Of the plate.
For any of these violations the mo-
torist is liable to Immediate arrest Ac-
cording to word received by the Auto
club, all city, county and state police
officers viii be watching out from now
on for these various evasions of the
law. Look over your license plates

WATCH BATTERY
PALMISTRY'
WARNING

An entirely new field that-battery
oalmistry! 1t pays it's promoters
lieely until the car driver gets wise to
he trick. 1t is the most natural thing
the world to be attracted by claims
Of wonderful solutions that charge bat
teries instantly, especially if you have
had any recent trouble with that par
ticular organ of your car.
A storage battery is made of lead
md compounds which absorb acid from
he battery solution as it delivers cur
rent. The acid is driven from the plates
again when the battery is recharged
'ither while ON the ear or at service
tation. Thus a continuous Interchange
# acid to plates and back to the solu-
ion is kept up, says Mr.. H. Z. Kin
lall, local Willard battery dealer.
ITO begin with, the battery is fully
charged says Mr.. II. Z. Kendall,
'and has solution which contains the
proper amount of acid Because the
,lates absorb this acid as it discharges,
ONE sleight -of-hand artists have been
making a nice living by pouring more
cid into it. OF course the additional
tcid makes the battery operative but
when it is charged on the car through
formal driving, the acld in the plates
comes out and then there S the dickens
to pay
1t seems that there is where the
stalmistry' comes in. According to
the Willard Storage Battery company,
of Cleveland, Ohio, the battery solution
becomes too strong in such cases and
some of it has to be taken out and re-
placed with distilled water. The in
noeent autoist has palmed the doper
for acid he didn't really want, certain
" didn t need and finally had to throw
away.
