No Excuse for
Failing to See
the Sign Posts

Road signs, giving the speed linn
it allowed in towns and cities,
should be read more carefully by
motorists, according to officials of
the Automobile Club of Southern
California. Many motorists when
hailed into court for violation of
the speed limit, tell the court they
did not see, the signs, and were ig-
norant of the speed limit.
Judges, generally, have little
sympathy with such pleas, nor
should they, say club officials. The
signs are not put up for fun, but
for the convenience and guidance
of drivers who should take note Of
them, especially if they are driving
in a strange town.
The Automobile Club has posted
practically every important road in
Southern California, from San hi.
ego County to San Luis Obispo
County with speed limit and direc-
tion signs. There is little excuse
for motorists violating the speed
laws or getting lost if they observe
these signs.

Blame Auto for
determination of
Wild, Rustic Life

And now the automobile is
charged with cXterminating wild life
as we'll as n considerable percentage
of the population. Wild flowers and
shrubs arc being torn up at such a
rate by the Sunday auto excursion
lists that the landscape round some
of the large Eastern cities looks like
a wartime view of the front i'll
France. An auto fishing party can
cover so much territory in Il day
and there are so many of them
that the fish hatcheries are hope
lcssly distanced, says the bureau of
fisheries. In the West the tourists
pull up so many saplings for make
shift dragbrakes that reforestation
is seriously interfered with. In Min
nosota the nature lovers are making
a great fight to keep the depart
ment of agriculture from building a
motor road through Superior Ma
tional Forest, on the ground that
casv access will result in the cX-
termination of the fish and the
driving out of the moose. It's true,
too true, but can the weekly motor
iaunt be successfully abolishedg-

NOT ONE Y TYPE
CADILLAC ENGINE
HAS WORN OUT

"Although we have produced
more than $4,000 90-degree V-type
eight-cylinder engines and are now
in the tenth year of their produc-
tion, we have been unable to die
cover a single Vtype Cadillac en-
gine which has ever worn out, -
states Lynn McNaughton, vice presi-
dent and general sales manager of
the Cadillac Motor Car Company.
The Cadillac Company, which is
90 years old and pioneered in 1914
in the introduction of the Vtype
eightcylinder principle of engine
design, has just completed an eX-
haustive research into the per-
Torrance of its cars produced since
that time.
"Before our recent investigation
our factory records had already
shown us that need had never
arisen for the factory to replace a
V-type engine for any reason what
ever.
"We frequently receive reports
of V-type eight-cylinder Cadillacs
which have piled up mileage run
ming into three and four hundred
thousand miles, and of others which
have seen exceptionally hard usage,
and these reports prompted our
latest investigation.
"Two thousand of our V-type en-
gines were with the American EX
peditionary Forces in France. With
all the hard usage of war service,
not one of these was worn cut. "

IF YOU'RE GOING
TO YOSEMITE. Be
SURE TO DO this

YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK,
July POSTMASTER Alexander to-
day issued new instructions for the
correct addressing of Yosemite Ma
tional Park mail and unless these
instructions are followed carefully,
visitors may find themselves in
convenienced in obtaining impor-
tant first class mail us well as
needed supplies sent them by par
eel post. With the opening Of
several new public camps in the up
per end of Yosemite Valley, the
problem of mail delivery has been
complicated because this region is
several miles from the main post
office.
Here is how mail should be ad-
dressed:
Guests of Yosemite Lodge will
receive their mail direct at that re-
sort if addressed to them at " "Yose-
mite Lodge, Calif.o Guests Of
Camp Curry will receive their mail
direct at that resort if addressed
to them at "Camp Curry, Calf. -
AS both these resorts have their
own postofficcs, there is no need
of mentioning the name of the main
postoffice.
Campers Instructions
Campers in public camps Upper
7, 10, IL, u, H., IS, 16 and 20,
which are near Camp Curry, should
have their mail addressed "Camp
Curry, Calif.' and should call at
that office. Campers III all other
public camps should have their mail
addressed "Yosemite National Pa
Calf and should call at the main
postoffice in the village.
As there is no parcel post deliv-
cry at the main postoffice on Sun
day, campers arriving on Sunday
who send parcel post shipments of
supplies to themselves should mark
them, "Care Housekeeping Camps
and should call
there for the packages, otherwise
they will not be able to obtain
them until Monday.

MANY PROTEST
FALSE SIGNALS
AUTO DRIVERS
Auto Club Warming
to Ash -Flicking
Motorists

Raring protest has been raised by
a chorus Of conscientious auto own
ers in this part of the State against
the practice of " false' hands
signals, and this protest has been
registered with the Auto Club of
Southern California.
1t has to do with the nonchalant
driver who debonairely flicks the
ashes off his cigar or cigarette with
IN airy wave of the hand thus Civ
ing the impression that he is signal
ing for right or lcft-hand turn.
Don't be so nonehalant" in
your ash-flicking, asks the Auto
club, in order to avoid confusion on
the highways this summer.
Watch the Riddles
II there are children riding in the
car, it is suggested that the parents
keep them from waving their arms
out or giving false signals as many
near accidents have been caused by
this act on the part Of the little
one.
1t IS pointed out that the driver
of q car should remember that
che man bchind' is looking care
fully to notice any indication Of a
turn to the right on left or 4 sud
den stop, and ono false move in
the way Of signaling is liable to
have serious consequences.
