YELLOWSTONE PARK, June
23.-All roads lead to Yellowstone
Park this year, according to the
advance guard of the nation s mo-
torists who have arrived at the
Park. Although the last snow
drifts on some of the higher passes
remain to be blasted away, auto
mobile tourist traffic i'll the Park
already has begun and about so
ears entered in the month of May.
The formal ceremonial opening Of
the park does not occur until June
% when the special summer train
service is installed, but motorists
already are welcome, III the park.
The official opening of the park
will be conducted by Dr. John Wes
ley Hill, chancellor of Lincoln
Memorial University, Tennessee, as
personal representative of President
Harding and Secretary of Interior
Hubert Work. Meanwhile automo-
bile service stations and camp
grounds are OPEN and there are
IlUnlIcu ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS dNdlldDlt
at the permanent camps. There is
also large repair station at Mann
moth Hot Springs.
Big Year Predicted
The early traffic to the Park, as
well as various reports from travel
centers indicate the largest auto
mobile travel in history. 1t is anti
cipated that $4,000 cars will enter
the park this season, compared with
1928 last year. During last year
each car carried an average of 3.5
persons.
There are 29S miles of automobile
highway within the park limits, en-
abling easy access to all points of
great interest. The park manage
ment also controls 35 miles of road
to the south and 2S miles to the
east of the park.
Many automobiles already have
reached Yellowstone Park from the
the west, and California motorists
are showing exceptional interest in
park travel.

ANGRY FARMERS
THREATEN SHOOT
HOLES IN TIRES

Horses are not ready for the
museums yet! Although a lot of
motorists seem to think that horse
drawn vehicles belong in side shows
and not on the boulevards, very eX-
citing testimony has just been re-
ceiyed by the Auto Club of South
err California from farmers and
ranchers to the effect that horses
and buggies have rights on the
roads of California
This is warning; to all motorists
not to get fresh with ranchers
driving their teams along country
roads in the west, as Il large num-
ber of these ranchers say that they
arc going to carry high power, ac
curate rifles for the purpose of
shooting holes in autoists s tires
if they hit the buggics.
1t seems that lot Of gay anto
drivers have been very careless
about hitting rancher's teams or
team drawn vehicles and then fail,
ing to stop and render assistance
after the accident.
Of course, there IS something to
be said on both the side of the mo-
to,ist and the side of the farmer,
reports the Auto Club. Many times
q rancher driving team of horses
along the road will bull-headedly re-
fuse to turn out and let the auto
&C past. Sometimes the rancher
continues to drive right down the
middle of the road, and refuses to
budge. On the other hand, there
are many motorists who are very
intolerant of horse-drawn vehicles
and push them off tie road, if pos
sible, whenever they get chance.
1t is pointed out that horse-drawn
vehicles have the same rights to
the boulevards as the motorist and
that both should get along with
brotherly love when they are using
The roads of California.

AUTO CLUB In
LIST OF DON'TS
FOR LONG TOURS
Some Sensible Pointers
on Making Trip
Success

Are you or your friends planning
to take any long tours! DO you
know about long distance outing, or
Ing distance uting, or would you
like to absorb few words of warn
ing in regard to such long trips
from the touring bureau of the Auto
Club of Southern Canfo.nia
Here are some of the "don 'ts'
from the club, and every one of
them is important whether you are
taking a long trip or short trip
in regard to the equipment of yOdr
car and person:
Don't allow the car to be with
out provisions or food OF some sort
at any time.
Don't fail to have warm cloth
ing in the outfit. The high att
tudes in the west are cold and the
dry air is penetrating.
DON tforget the yellow goggles.
In driving west you have face the
sun all afternoon and the glare is
hard on the eyes.
Don't ford water without first
wading through it.
Dom wait until your gasoline is
almost gone bofere filling up. There
might be delay or it might not
be obtained at the next point at
which it can be secured, no mat
ter how little you need.
Don't allow your water canteens
to be other than full of fresh wa
ter and keep it filled. The burst
of a water hose or sudden leak
in your radiator might occur be-
tween garages.
The entire expense of a car and
four passengers from coast to coast,
distance of Approximately $500
miles, should not at any time ex-
ceed $500 per day per passenger,
says the Auto Club. This sum, will
include everything except tire ex.
pense and unforeseen brcakdowns.
1t includes gasoline, oil and all
provisions, but places no restrictions
upon the amount or quality of pro
visions, and will easily cover the
requirements of the average person.

May Auto Sales
Show 60 Percent
Gain Over 1922

Automobile buying in Southern
California, continues at the record
pace at which it has been going
since the start OF the new year. In
dications point to little if any fall
ing off in May in the selling speed
attained in April. AS for compar-
isons with May of last year the
increase has been prodigious and
will probably show close to 60 per
cent gain over 1929.
Figures furnished by Motor Fax
for the eleven southern counties
of the state up to and including
May Goth furnish in the new pas
senger ear sales for the 10 leaders
on the list, which as a rule are
responsible for fabout 90 per cent

License Plates
for 1924 to BE
Chrome Green

"The Wearing of the Green is
to be popularized in California in
1924, due to the. fact that the Di-
vision of Motor Vehicles, has def
initely decided upon chrome green
as the background coloring for next
year s plates, according to VIII II.
Marsh, chief of the division. The
figures and letters are to be in
white. '"This is the first year that
green has been used on IL California

artistic, restful to the eye, and, from
the many requests which have been
received by the department for its
use, it evidently Will be very popu
lar says Marsh. Every automo-
bilist properly registered after Jan
uary 81, 1924, Will, as a result of
this decision, be flying the :" Irish
Flag with the exception that it
has been decided to manufacture an
entirely different plate for pneu-
matte tired commercial vehicles.
Two Minus OF fldCeS
The Breed bill, recently enacted,
creates division of registration
between pneumatic and solid tire
commercial vehicles. which for quick
recognition and inspection, will re-
quire I. dissimilar plate. Therefore,
it has been decided to make the
pneumatic commercial vehicle plate
with white background carrying
red figures and letters. The work
of preparing specifications for the
new plates Is now in hand and will
shortly be in readiness for the pur-
chasing department of the board
of control, which will issue the call
for bids. 1t is proposed to ask for
bid on 100000 of the green
plates for the Forthcoming year, and
$4,000 of the pneumatic commercial
plates. 1t is not expected, however,
that this number of plates will suf-
flee for 1924. Based upon the fig
ures for the current year, it is esti-
mated that approximately 100000
plates will be issued next year.
