from the big show-that he played his

However, when spring rolls around
and Whitley realizes the Yanks have

Trio Claim Great
Treasure Lies in
Antelope Valley

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 13.- Out
of Antelope Valley have come three
treasure seekers with STORY of
fabulous wealth buried in the wood
ed region 7S miles northeast of
here. ..t
George L. Murphy, Joe Jurack and
Glen Foster are here for new sup
plies before returning to renew their
quest for the long lost fortune, re-
puted to be the loot of an Aztec
temple, worth now more than 3d.
100000. M
A tip from an old prospector
started the trio on their hunt. They
learned, they say, that band of
Piute Indians massacred party of
Spaniards and padres who left Mex
leo in l843, and that the first evil
dences of the treasure would be in
the form of, 40 or so skeleton, re-
mains of the devoted band.
Murphy, Jurack and Foster say
they, have already uncovered Is YET
lowed human skulls and large mum
ber of Piute arrows and spear
heads, so they believe they are on
the right trail. The exact location
of the supposed treasure cache is
being jealousy guarded by the trio.

new YORK I WILL
ELIMINATE ALL
UNSAFE DRIVERS

= California motorists are watching
with interest the enforcement of
the new state motor vehicle law in
New York which goes into effect
on October /. New York is the
only state rivalling California in
the number of automobiles and its
problems are somewhat similar. The
particular feature of the new law
that is attracting the attention of
the Automobile Club of Southern
California is the provision for the
elimination of unsafe drivers of
motor vehicles.
; A corps of 125 inspectors has
been trained as enforcement Off
GERS ready for service when the
new law goes into effect.
Regarding the elimination of un.
fit drivers, Commissioner Charles A.
Harnett of the New York police
says:
Primarily the work of this
force will be to pass upon the com
petence of every driver applying
for n license, after we will have
accomplished the issuance of
1,250,000 licenses now confronting
us.
"As I see it, the law was enacted
for the protection of all the people
and no one is entitled to nor will
be shown any favoritlsm. A per-
son is either safe or unsafe as the
operator of n motor vehicle. The /!
unsafe driver must be eliminated, |
of who he is, and the res
possibility for passing upon his
qualifications rests largely with the
on the highways.
q Any inspector who knowingly
licenses, an incompetent or unsafe
driver or allows such driver to
retain a license is potentially guilty
of whatever crime that driver may
be- accused as the licensed operators
Of a motors vehicle. A

The z law, plus the sincere coopera
Iion of, the public, there can be no
question as to the success of our

CLOSED FEATURES, FOUR WHEEL
BRAKES ARE REMARKABLE DESIGN

gether with fill nickel plated radia
tors, are inebright and sparkling cor
trast with siet black Tenders and the
dark, blue of the bodies,Sand they
blend especially well with the. light
gray and Jet black bodies of the
! STANDARD Six models.
/ Although the new Studebakers ARE
regularly equipped with bigger and
I better -two-wheel brakes than ever
and with an entirely new emergency
brake which operates on the propell.
er shaft, there is optional equipment
offered in four wheel brakes.
The new Studebaker four wheel
brakes are not only of the hydraulic
opened by engine power and not by
the drivers foot. Great braking
force can be applied instantly and
almost without effort by operating
valve which turns on the hydrau4
lie power. The brakes are unique in
this respect and different from any
thing on any other American ear.
Inasmueh as the braking power jim
stantly stops when the wheels stop
main locked and the front wheels,
cannot lock at any time. There
are no adjustments necessary for the
front wheels and only two points
which require librication. Undoubt-
edly tremendous amount of inter-
est will be created by the new
Studebaker four-wheel brakes.
p,.o1
Studebaker advises its public, how
ever, that two-wheel brakes are=all
that is required. But in the event
that fourlwheel brakes are demand
ed it is able to give, so it claims,
the simplest, most effective, land |
most durable and safe system ever
put on an American car. !
OF course Studebaker has made
great many minor changes, better
ments and refinements in all the
mechanical parts of its ear.
Notably the engine now is in unit
with the clutch and transmission,
but even more important than that
a new force feed oiling system has
been designed introducing an en-
tirelv new feature. The returning
oil is strained before it goes back
to the crank ease; thus the pump
has the entire crank-case supply of
oil strained and cleaned. There is
no possibility of elogged screens or
4 lack of supply of oil for the high
est speeds.
Fhe entire amount of oil. is pump
ad through the motor three times for 4
very mile of travel under varying .
pressure of Is to % pounds, accord

Studebaker still retains the medi

he same as that employed by prae-
ically all of the leading makers of

rease in the weight of crank-shafts
N all models. There are bigger
earrings and longer connecting rods
n two models. Studebaker is one
f the very few manufacturers of
Medium priced ears that uses thGeN-i
