the old California Development Con.

older settlers of the valley, is visit

stupefied," he said, at the changes
that have taken place here in three
decades.
Evans visited the Press office yes

count of the early days here, when
material for the handful of work
men was thrown off the train at
Flowing Wells, and freighted across
the desert to the various camps es.

There were no towns here at that
time, the men living in camps which
were scattered at various points
throughout the valley.

years have elapsed almost, since we
used to sit around camp at night and
try to picture what the result of our

things have turned out. In fact
most of us were very doubtful if
our efforts would succeed.

Kelley tires, lone favorites with
the motoring public, are now avail
able in the valley in warehouse
quantities for dealers and for in
diyiduals, Kendall Bros, of this
city and Brawley having taken
over the Imperial county distribu-
tion.
The Kelley Springfield Tire Com
pany is che of the Oldest manufac-
turers Of automobile tires and has
long been recognized as d leader in
the motoring world. Kendall Bros.
waited until they could obtain the
distribution for this tire, believing
it to be the best for service in In
perial Valley.
Kelley tires cost no more than
other makes, Earl Kendall asserts
and a new registered tire model,
recently added to the line, is ex-
pected to outlast the life of the or
dlnary car.
In addition to being distributors
for Kelley tires, Kendall Bros. are
also distributors for Willard bat

Victor Radios
To Be Delayed

Owing to delays incident to mass
manufacturing, the Imperial Valley
Hardware company will probably not
receive their first shipment of the
new Victor radios until late this
month, Warren Currier, secretary
and sales manager of the company
stated this morning.
The new Victor was exhibited here
a week or more ago before a group
of Imperial and Yuma valley news
paper men and members of the sales
staff of the hardware company. The
radio is a new field for the talking
machine company but the organiza-
tion has produced many new fea-
lures in their latest product which,
it is predicted, will make the Victor
radio enorm ously popular.

PROPER BRAKES
FAVOR SAFETY

Proper attention to brake equali-
cation and front wheel alignment
at this season Of the year will 60
far toward increasing the safety Of
motoring over hazardous winter
pavements. points out A. K. Dill.
manager Of the technical service di-
vision Of the United States Rubber
company.
The non-Skid tread Of a tire can
function as its designer intended in
holding a car steady on an icy road
only when the driver takes the
necessary precaution to make sure
that his car is operating as its
manufacturer recommends.
Wheels out of alignment and
brakes not equalized frequently
send q car into a needless skid
which the safety tread configura-
ton Of the tire Is powerless TO con-
troll simply because the faulty
mechanism Of the car Is working at
cross-purposes TO the non-skid sur
face Of the tire. the United States
tire official warns.
Particularly IS this true in the
autumn and winter when roads fire.
quently are Uttered with soggy
leaves or sheeted with ice or slush.
Not only will attention to wheel
alignment and brakes greatly in
crease the safety OF driving. but 1t
also will add appreciably to the
mileage obtainable from q set OF
tires, Mr.. Dill stated.

Chevrolet Engineers Give
Pointers on Easier Driv-

DETROIT, Nov. ITO many
automobile owners. cold weather

synonymous.
II is true that an engine does
not start as easily In winter as In
summer. but a little care on part
Of the owner viii 90 a long way to-
ward minimizing the difficulty.
Chevrolet Motor Company engineers
point out.
since the inception Of the Chew
rolet car more than eighteen years
ago, company engineers have been
applying themselves to the problem
OF easier starting.
Making use of the cold room"

search laboratories and working for

In considering the case Of the

attention first to the rather obvious
fact that an engine in good con-
dition will perform all its functions.
including starting, more sGtisfact-
orily than one that Is out Of ad-
juStment.
Principal Parts
The principal parts which have
a direct bearin or the strating Of
an engine are: Battery, Starting
motor. carburetor. spark plugs. igni-
ton system and valves.
AS the efficiency of the battery
Is materially reduced in cold wea-
ther. 1t should be given great con-
sideration, III the electrical system
is weak, complete combustion can
not be obtained. therefore, before
the start Of winter, it is good pre-
ventive insurance TO have some
reputable electrical service station
check over the battery. spark plugs
and entire ignition system.
The starting motor very seldom
causes trouble.
The carburetor must be adjusted
properly for the winter and choke
and throttle controls connected
properly.
Inspect Electrodes
The spark Tugs are eouipped
with two electrodes set in such \
manner that the electric cr-rent
must jump across a small gar from
one to the ether. IN making this
Jump, a spark occurs. lit n this
spark that ignites the mixture of
gasoline and air in the combustion
chamber OF the cylinder. The size
Of the gap between the electrodes
affects the type Of spark produced
IL Is, therefore, important that this
gap should be inspected for proper
adjustment.

be cleaned: s~d the terminals an
