LOS ANGELES, Sept. II. - En-
.phasizing the rapid permeation Of
the automobile into al ranks Of
life, the Automobile Cluo Of South.
ern California has just announced
that its membership has passed
the 100000 mark, placing it easily
in the lead of all motoring argani-

Curious condolences in compare.

the first successful test Of a
"horseless wagon" had been made.
The club was organized in 1900
when the population OF Los Angeles

Last Of Beacons. Insuring
Safe Path for Flyers, to
Be Placed Soon:

The fiftieth and the last of the
light heacuns that will insure a safe
path in practically all weather con-
ditions for the U. S. mail aviators
In the San Francisco-New York aero
service viii be installed this month,
according to officials of the Delco
Light Company, Dayton, Ohio, man.
ufacturers of the light equipment.
When the last beacon is installed
there will be q continuous lighted
pathway from Cleveland, Ohio, to
Rock Springs, Wyo.
When the air mail service was
installed last year the lighted area
for night flying extended from CHI
cago to Cheyenne, Wyo., distance
Of approximately 900 miles. Tho re-
mainder Of the distance was Travelled
during the daylight hours, the west
bound planes leaving New York al
10 a. m. and the eastbound ones
leaving San Francisco at a. III.
These hours were chosen as the
best to escape fogs at the Atlantic
and Pacific coast ports.
Thirty beacons, twenty-four Of the
Delco Light type and six that were
supplied with electrical current from
neighboring power sources, lighted
the first strip of air way.
The beacons each have an eigh.
teen-inch incandescent searchlight ii
$500, 900 beam candle power mount.
ed on a platform at the top of a
high structural steel, tower. Tho
searchlight is directed slantipgly to.
ward the horizon and revolves six
times al minute. sending out a power.
full, steadily revolving beam of light
that can be seen on an ordlnal y
clear night for forty miles in airy
direction.
This year the Government decided
to extend the lighted area $40 miles
and ordered twenty-six additional
Delco Light plants. These plants are
installed in small power house al
the base Of the tower where they
generate the electricity for each OF
the huge beacons. The additional
lighted airway was provided so that
in case of fog or other weather con
ditions delayed the departure of the
airplanes they would be able to
reach the safety of the lighted path
before night.
AS the beacons are placed APP
proximately twenty-five miles apart
air mail pilots usually have two OF
three constantly visible to guide
them through the night flight. The
lights enable them to properly shape
their course throughout the night
with but little risk.

and consultation Of all persons own-
ing or operating automobiles; to ad-
wise with and assist members Of
this corporation in the protection
and enforcement Of their rights in
any matter connected with their
ownership or use Of automobiles"
incidentally, at the time this par
agraph was framed. the auto was
regarded as a demon of the road,
q juggernAut. bent on destruction,
and q menace to the prosperity and
peace Of any farming community.
Laws were in effect prohibiting the
use of automobiles in certain dis
tricts,, and speed regulations were
from 6 to 10 miles an hour.
In the year before the club was
organized the output of cars was
$500, valued at less than $4,000, 00I.
Last year the output was 4,0S6, 991
vehicles, with wholesale value VI
more than $4,000. 900 900.
The total automobile expenditure
this year in the United States will
equal more than half Of the national
debt.
1t Is but logical that the largest
single motoring organization should
be developed in California. since this
State has one motor vehicle regis
tered for every S.5 Of ita population.
1t has special appeal to the mo-
torist in that there is no clos ID
season and thousands of miles of
improved highways. 1t is a moot
question whether the automobiles
brought the highways or the high
wasy brought the automobiles, but
certainly they are both here.
The enormous growth of the Au.
tomobile Club of Southern Califor.
mia, however is NOT attributed so
much to the number Of automobiles
as to service rendered. The organ
ization has 90 branch offices at
strategic points and ii important
departments to meet tho needs OF
members. The latest CT these is q
Highway Patrol Service, a fleet of
light trucks which carry the clubs
utility functions over 1000 miles of
highways daily.
At the present rate Of growth
the club may be expected to reach
the 200, 900 membership mark in the
year 1870.

:,
Captain Horton Says Life
!. Guards to Prevent Acct
dents Would Be Effective.

: Lifeguards for motordon would
be a very effective means Of pre-
venting automobile accidents, in
the opinion Of Captain Harry M.
Horton, local Stutz and Duesenberg
dealer.
He points to the beach lifeguapd
as 3. model which might well be
considered by safety advocates, con-
tending that the publia highways
need guardians more than they
need policing.
att has Just come to- my atten-
tion," Captain Horton says, that
in one locality four persNns were
seriously injured because motorcycle
officers held them up on account
Of tail lights being out. This is
Just about as logical as holding a
bather under water so that he
could change to an approved style
Of bathing suit.
''The general public that goes
In bathing at shore resorts has to
be guarded because it is ignorant
Of many Of the dangers Of the surf.
The authorities seem 20 feel Ger.
tain responsibility in the matter,
which in the final analysis repre-
.sents the public's responsibility for
itself through the agency Of ex-
perts on surf safety. On our high.
ways, however, we seem to be inter-
ested only in looking for speeders
and give no thought to that great
public on wheels that is so ignor-
ant Of highway dangers.
There are thousands Of motor
lists who do not know when they
are getting into deep water So
long as they are within the law
the police do not give any clue
as to. the proximity Of the danger.
The result is that in many instances
those who are arrested for road
violations are the only ones who
are protected. The man who nearly
violates a law may never know
1t until he repeats the performance
to his own sorrow. The police have
their place, but motordom could
be helped by lifeguards who arc
out to save lives rather than to
enforce regulations

UTILITY Of AUTO
DOUBLED by
WOMEN
Capt. H. m. Horton Explains
Value of Feminine Head
Household Driving

Woman's interest and active par
ticipation in the operation Of the
automobile, has more than doubled
its usefulness to the average family,
in the oponion of Captain Harry M.
Horton, local Stutz and Dusenberg
dealer.
Before the maternal head of the
household could operate the car,
he says, opportunities for sevrice
from the average car invariably
awaited fathers leisure, and the re-
suit was that the active life of the
typical American car was rather Sc
riously limited.
"Since women have become en-.
thusiastic motorists" Captain Hor.
ton explains, "the situation has re-
Versed to a point where the aver.
age car gets more than twice as
much opportunity to prove its
worth as it did in the days when it's
activity was entirely dependent upon
one member of the family.
1T Is not so long ago when the
car would spend many a weekend
In the garage simply because its
lone operator had no opportunity to
take it to the shop for repairs dur.
ing the week.
Now the car gets service with.
out delay because there is some
one to take an interest in it's wei.
fare.
THE only cars that are falling to
deliver maximum service are those
that are operated exclusively by
one member Of the family. When
this one member is busy out of
town, or indisposed the car ceases
to be of service to the family In
general.
where the women of the house
hold also drive it is frequently
noted that the car can be made to
offer service to others of the family
In ways that would not otherwise
be possible.
"For instance, the spare driver
In the family makes 1t possible for
father to enjoy the service of his
car when 1t is not convenient for
him to keep track of the car prior
to or following use of it.
II he Is planning to board a
train the car cannot be OF value
to him in reaching the railroad sta
ton unless there is some one to
drive 1t for him.
Women have not only turned
the automobile into service to their
own advantage, but have made the
automobile more serviceable to the
family by keeping 1t out of the
garage and constantly ready for
service.
'The one-man idea In car opera.
ton has given away to a regime
that gives the automobile a chance
to reveal how much more useful it
can be II II has some one to keep
1t in motion whenever service is
needed"

The engineers have a busy year
ahead Of them, with changes
needed to meet the demands of
balloon tire service, which is gain
ing ground rapidly and the four
wheel brake development of re-
cent months.
General Motors has announced
retail sales from January to June,
1924, as 379,590 as against 40S,9S5
in 1928. This is just about the
percentage of decrease that the
experts have been predicting for
this year.
Field men Of the National Auto
mobile Chamber of Commerce re-
port moderate business in most
sections Of the country. No upward
tendency is expected until fall
sales Of closed models get under

OF the most successful Of the Ger

undoubtedly sometime or other try
his hand at manufacturing air
