ATTORNEY GENERAL EXPL0|NS RULING ON
 SPOT LIGHT LAW

! For the benefit of the motoring public who possibly have been miss informed on this subject, one manufac- turer of Spot-Lites has taken up the the question direct with State officials and has secured andauthoritative rul- ing, as evidenced by the following let ter:
 Gentlemen:
 A few weeks ago some question was raised in this county concering the legality of spotlights and in particular that equipped with a legal bracket. Owing to the widespread misunder- standing of the law, which seemed to exist, l requested confirmation of my ruling from the Attorney General.
 I have just received a ruling from the office of the Attorney General which holds that spotlights are per mitted under the California law when properly constructed and adjusted.
 D. G. BOWKER,
 District Attorney. A portion of the report of the At torney General of California is as follows:
 Spot-Lites are legal in the State of California the only limitation placed upon the use of "spot-lite" is that regulating the maximum height of the main, substantially par allel beam of light directly ahead of the vehicle carrying the same and there is no limitation upon the use of a "spot-lite" as to the height to which the main, substantially parallel beam of light may be raised when directed to either side of the vehicle or roadway.

In speaking of the Durant cars, and what they have done F. Thomas of the Star Motor Service local distr- butors for the Durant and Star mo- tor cars had the following to say:
 'When the purchaser is in the mar ket for a car the most important fac tors to be considered are, accessibility which means economy. The lack of accessibility means useless and un- necessary expense. It means the diff ference between money in your pock- ct and the same money in the auto mechanics pocket.

WILL MURPHY REPEAT
 AT NEXT MEET

Before the week is out the speed demons will be loose again, this time heading back to California for the Northern California meet at Cotati, Aug. 6. The famous stars of the speedway who have been thrilling the motor car enthusiasts this year at In- dianapolis, Uniontown and Tacoma with their reckless daring and real driving are all tuned up for the big yearly event at Cotati.
 Jimmy Murphy is looked upon by
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1922-08-04

great many racing fans as the possi- ble winner, for Jimmy has so decid- edly broken into the big circles this year with the big winnings every where that the rest of the old drivers begin to look like amateurs. Looking at the comparative figures given out by the A. A. A. it seems that there will be very little question about the fact that Jimmy will be the valedic- torian of the motor class this year. He says that he has always liked razberries and that this year he has had the chance of his young life to pick them out.
 On top of that Jimmy is the fav- orite for another reason, the fact that he is native son of San Francisco.
 Murphy's rasing career during 1922 has been the most spectacular in the history of the racing game, and cer- tainly no more consistent winner has ever manipulated throttle and steer ing wheel on an American or foreign track to better advantage over per iod of less than six months.
 First place finishes at Fresno, Co., tati, Indianapolis, Uniontown and Ia coma-five first places in seven starts brought him this commanding lead. that no other driver has even an out side chance to snatch away his honors. When Murphy finishes the season on Thanksgiving day in the L. A. speed way 25O-mile classic, his seasons vic tory will be acclaimed the most popu- lar in the history of the game, for Jimmy has won his way into the hearts of the race fans from the At- lantic to the Pacific, and his victory last year in the French Grand Prix only served to add to that popularity.
 Murphy has still to drive at Cotati and then in the big Turkey Day event. In all probability, without the strain of the championship standing in his way, there is every reason to believe he will better the worlds record for the 25O miles and may even make it better than Tommy Milton's present | mark of 115.2 for the 15O distance.
 The present standing of the drivers as given out by the A. A. A. contest i board follows:
