When shown n dispatch from San
Diego, stating that Mayor John l..
Bacon had written justices in San Di-
coo nrging that automobiles Of reckless
drivers be so labeled for certain
length of time following their convif-
tion, in an effort to reduce the number
of such eases, Judge /. Mayfield, OF
the FL Centre town court, pointed out
that while such action would uudoubt
cdlv have a salutary effect on reckless
drivers, there is no law at present en-
ablng Justices to impose snch penal
ty
Under the present California motor
vehicle act, justices of the peace can
suspend the license of convicted drlV-
ers for a period of 80 days, in addition
TO imposing n fine or Imprisonment, or

The Judge also cxprcssed himself rs

activity on the part Of the Automobic
club and state officials, in connection
with the proper adjustment Of head

CLOSED CARS ARE
IN GREAT DEMAND
SAYS W. H. LEWIS
HudsOn-Essex Dealer for
County Sees Greater
Demands Yet

cone of the most surprising develop
mcnts in the automobile business, as
manufacturers without exception are
aprced,' SAYS w. II. Lewis, hudson
Essex dealer for Imperial County, is
the tremendous increase in the proper
ton of closed ears since 1916.
''In that year only l.5 per cent Of
all motor ears made in the United
States were closed ears. the proper
ton has risen rapidly every year since ;
it reached % per cent in 1921 and io
still growing at Il phenomenal rate.
Informatio nhas reaeAcd me show
inc that the Hudson Motor Car Com
panv, always the leader in proportion
ate closed ear sales, owing to its pion-
eering in this line, probably tops AL
manufacturers today. 1t announce
that 50 per cent of its entire output
since January | has been in closed cars
Essex Motors is believed to be i'll see
ond place in this respect Slightly
more than half of the Essex product
since the year started has been in ear,
of this type-sedans, coaches and cab
riOlets.
"Both companies inform me that the
proportion of this business is lncrcas
ing approximately at the same rate. In
fact, it is quite certain, they declare
that when production totals for 1922
are compiled n will be found that tng
closed car business for the year was
even higher than prOphesied. 1t is be
| lieved that each company $ proportion
will mount much higher during the r"
| mainder of the year, since closed eal
business is always heavy in the fail.
"In 1921, factory records show, 8
per cent of the lIudson 5 entire outpu

several surprises in the way of speed
will be among the entries.
The first race starts promptly at !
o'clock on Thanksgiving afternoon,
with the second event being called at
9 o clock and the last one at 4 o o'clock.
FL Centre will have several entries i'll
each event and the mechanicians i'll the
local garages are saying nothing but
are expecting great deal from several
machines which are now being prepared
in secret for the races.
One Of the local boys is working on a
big "white demon which has been
under wraps for several months and
which can only be driven through the
city at a snail s pace because of the
tremendous roar made by the high

Willard Explains
Advantage of Over
Size Auto Battery

I'm an electrical system, the pressure
of the current is termed electrical
potential or VOLTAGE and is meas.
ured in volts. Thus in Il lead sulphuric
acid storage battery, in which each cell
develops an electrical pressure Of two
volts, the voltage can be increased by
increasing the number Of cell, and con
Meeting them in series with each other.
The rate at which the current flows
in a circuit is measured in "ampercs
and the capacity Of any generating
unit is measured in "amprrc hours.
What governs the size of batteries
Hscd on automobile systems!
Suppos" for example, that two tanks
of different sizes contain water that is
placed under an equal pressure of SIX
pounds per square inch by means of the
weights. If tRe values are opened and
the outlet pipes are of the same diamct-
or, the water in each tank will escape
with the same pressure (anaioGouS TO
volts and at the sam" rate (amperesJ
but the larger tank having the larger
capacity will supply water longer than
the smaller one.
Electrical cells shown in the ordinary
automobile batteries have the same
electrical pressure, bat the ones with
The largest plate surface have the great
rr capacity and can deliver current
longer AT the same rate, or for an equal
time at greater rate. Assuming that
battery could deliver five ampcres
for II hours, il would have an amperc-
hour capacity of 60. That amount Of
current could be drawn as one ampcre
for GO hours or 60 ampcrcs in one hour,
depending upon the size Of the cables
used or the amount Of resistance placed
in he circuit.
Three methods can be used TO in
crease the ampcre hour capacity of a
storage battery;
/. Increase the area Of the plates.
.. Increase up to a certain point
| the thickness of the plates.
3. Increase the number of plates in
each cell.
BY either of these methods, the
amount of electrical energy will be
increased but the pressure with which
it leaves the battery will remain tht

Durant Racing Team Makes
Speedy Debut, Leader is
Cliff Durant

Auto enthusiasts throughout the
country arc going to watch the coming
Thanksgiving Day automobile class on
the Los Angeles speedway with unusual
interest this wear, due 40 the presence
of the new five-man Durant racing
team that is to make its debut in com
petition with the leading racing driv-
ers of the country.
This team, headed by Cliff Durant.
young millionaire sportsman and noted
auto racer, includes Jimmy Murphy,
the king of the speedway for the 1922
season; Earl Cooper, twice winner Of
the championship battle; Eddie Hearne,
the veteran who was the title holder in
l919 and Art Klein, one of the great
est drivers ever developed in America.
Durant is to drive the fifth ear, and az
he made his reputation as daring
driver on the track, long before he be-
came noted rs an automobile manufae-
turer, he should feel entirely at home
among the speed demons composing
the team.
Tommy Milton, Benny Hill, Harry
Hartz, Ralph De Palma, and other
noted stars of the racing track have
been entered in the race and will be
after the "Durant Five' for the high

Harry +. Glenn, local distributor for
the Durant car, is strong booster for
the new racing team and can see moth

checkered flag is dropped at the finish
of what has grown to be the biggest
auto event in the country. Several

certain that with such stars sitting in
at the wheel, and the excellent records
hung up by the Durant stock cars in
all kinds of contests, the other entries
are going to have a tough time Of it
to prevent the Durant from picking

LOSS TO THE JUDICIARY
Appreciation of Judge Peurifoy's Ser
vice on the Bench.

vice on the Bench.
BY the resignation Of Circuit Judge
James f. Peurifoy South Carolina will
lose one Of the ablest and loftiest
members of it's judiciary. Although
he has served on the bench for only
Il little more than six years, in that
period he has won a high reputation
as a fearless, impartial and learned
judge, commanding the respect of the
bar and the people Of the whole state.
Holding the scales of justice in bal
ance, he has nevertheless impressed
upon juries the imperative necessity
of law enforcement through the con-
viction of the guilty. SO fair and
thorough have been his charges and
his rulings that the Supreme Court
of South Carolina has rarely failed to
sustain them. Judge Peurifoy is one
of our very best judges. His departure
from the bench will be great loss to
the cause of good government in the
Palmetto State. He quits because the
physical strain has been too much
for him, although he is only in the
maturity OF his life and powers. This
is a striking commentary upon the
exacting nature and extent of the du-
ties of a. circuit judge. Few men now
hold that position long without suf-
fering serious impairment of health,
with the result that the death rate in
our judiciary in the past in recent
years has been appalling. Conse-
quently, no one can blame Judge Peur-
ifoy for his course. 1t is a fortunate
circumstance that his means permit
him to lay aside the ermine, for some
of our judges, having no other source
of earning a livelihood, feel compelled
to serve, despite the fact that cessa-
tion from their labors would lengthen
their lives.-Greenville Piedmont.

TO MAKE SPOTS OF FUTURES
Congressman Stevenson Wants to Con-
fine Dealings to Actual Cotton.

A bill to amend the cotton futures
act to enable buyers of contracts to
demand delivery of grades of cotton
they desire for use in manufacture
was introduced yesterday by Repre-
sentative W. F. Stevenson. The bill
would divide contracts into three
classes, "A" "B," and "C." Glass A
would include middling fair, strict
good middling, good middling and
strict middling. Class B would include
strict middling, strict low middling
and good middling yellow tinged
Glass c would call for strict low
middling, low middling. strict mid
ding yellow tinged and good mid
ding yellow tinged. Under the bill
d trader would stipulate the class of
his contract and the grade of cotton
wanted. Delivery of third Of the
contract would be required in that
grade and the remainder permitted in
the two grades next in order. Mr..
Stevenson said passage OF the bill
would tend TO eQualiZe the price level as
between the futures market and the
actual value of the cotton, which he
said had worked to the disadvantage
of the actual product. 1t also would
save the spinners and others the nee
essity of an extra transaction, he
added, when delivery to them on con-
tlacts included cotton they could not
use.
