STARTING WORLD SERIES
EARLIER is. GOOD MOVE


In promoting sports of any kind
there is constant gamble with the
weather. Primarily the poor weather
that was on tap during the last
world series has caused the two
major leagues to shorten their sea-.
son.
Starting the big series one week
earlier than is customary will be no
guarantee against bad weather It
is matter of record that on the
whole, the big event of the year in
baseball has been furnished with ex-
cellent playing conditions.
However, I feel that THE. magnates
made wise move in their decision
10 play the 154-game schedule in one
less weeks time.
Starting seven days earlier GER.
tainly will not handicap weather
conditions, but the big advantage is
that the seires will be finished be-
fore the big football games Of the
year get underway.
For several years the world
series and some of the best foot
ball cards Of the year have over
Tapped.

VEWSPEEDSTER
BY NAR|NON

Word has just been received BY
Irving Henderson, sales manager of
the Marmon Washington Company,
local Marmon dealers. OF the. add.
ton of an attractive four passeil-
ger speedsters as the latest model
of the new Marmon IA series. This
thoroughbred Of motordOm is manu-.
factured by the Marmon Motor Car
Company. OF Indianapolis.
There is an air Of jauntiness, yet
extreme distinction, surrounding
the new Marnon speedster.
The body is Of aluminium with
a moulding and belt panel, and the
paint finish Is q tWo-tone compi-
nation that has become so popular
since its introduction by Marmon.
The upholstery is of genuine hand
buffed leather.
It seems that nothing has been
omitted in the list Of equipment to
assure the convenience and pleasure
of the owner and to add to She
beauty of the speedster.
Equipment includes fender mir
rors, nickel-plated windshield wings,
double rear-view mirror, top boot,
tonneau lights, tnree-way tail, stop
and backing light, combination cigar
lighter and handy lamp and the
standard MarmOn instrument board
The car Is fairly close coupled,
permitting ample space between
the tire carrier and the back Of
the body for trunk OF ample
proportions.

PATCH To Mend
BALLOONS

Balloon tires are sufficiently diff.
ferent in construction to require
treatment. even when making road
side repairs. For instance, a close
woven fabric patch should not be
used in balloon tires even though
it is very satisfactory when used
in regular tires.
"A close woven fabric patch Is
usually heavy and stiff and does
not flex easily enough to become
an integral part Of the balloon tire
unit and as q result may cause
serious injury. Special balloon tire
patches may be purchased which
are light and thin, yet possess
great strength with suppleness and
1exibility.
A plaster cord patch has been
designed for balIon tires which
serves the same purpose as a
blowout patch in regular tires.
A plaster cord patch, tube patch
ing rubber, patching cement, rubber
plastic, extra valve parts, balloon
tire jack, and extra rim nuts con-
stitute good repair assembly for
emergency use.
The special jack has been de-
signed for use with balloon tires
because a. balloon tire equipped
cars road clearance Is less, requir.
ing therefore a lower jack.

will require during the driving
season are-tubes, and an extra

GASOLINE USED
UP IN STOPS

LOS ANGELES, Cal, April 2S.--
What is the future OF the boulevard
stop?
Following the general adoption of
this traffic measure by nearly all
cities in Southern California, traf-
fic experts are giving the operation
of the plan their serious considera-
ton.
Designed to facilitate motoring,
the boulevard stop was initiated
by the Automobile Club of Southern
California for use at heavily trav-
ersed intersections to avert accl-
dents, congestion and delay. The
plan was effective and has WORKED
so well that now traffic students are
beginning to fear that boulevard
stops are being placed in effect
where the traffic is. not sufficient
.iy heavy to warrant asking motor
lists to come to full stop.
It Is pointed out by students OF
the situation that to over 10 the
boulevard stop by applying 1t
promiscously without regard to vol.
un1e of traffic will not only defeat
the purpose for which 1t was origi.
nally intended, but viii tend to IN
crease traffic congestion by slowing
down traffic, as well ds cause loss
of time to individuals and furraer
expense in the operation of cars.
TO determine the effect of the
existing boulevard stop law on The
cost of motoring in general, a series
of tests was made recently by the
engineering department of the Au.
tmobile Club of Southern Califor-
MIA. These indicate that the $780,
900 motor vehicles in Los Angeles
county make approximately 11,OO0,-
600 stops daily.
These stops cause 1920 gallons
of gasoline to be consumed that
otherwise would not be. The cost
of this gasoline is $8,143 daily, or
$3.772. 195 yearly. No account was
taken OF the wear and tear on
brake Innings and tires.
While the promiscuous use of
boulevard stops is questioned by
traffic experts, the Automobile Club
of Southern California constantly is
urging upon motorists the import
ance of observing reasonable pre-
cautions at all street Intersections
in order to avoid the necessity OF
making a complete stop at all
corners, with the attendant increase
in gasoline consumption.
