DEADLY BOMB
DISCOVERED IN
COAST STRIKE

LOS ANGELES, Jan. Is. U.H -
With strikes impending in at least
two large citrus sections, and a pos
sible attempt on the life of a fruit
exchange official disclosed by au-
thorities, the board of supervisors
today ordered deputy sheriffs to
guard all fruit-packing houses.
Officers were instructed to hold
themselves in readiness for eme' q.
gency calls from growers.
Ingeniously wired to the motor, a
bomb sheriff's officers declared
contained a latently deadly guam
tity of explosive was found in tho
automobile belonging to H. j. RAM
sey, buyer for the California Fruit
Growers Exchange. Ramsey said
he believed the bomb had been
planted while his car remained
overnight in San Bernardino ga
rage.
Built like a firecracker, the bonE
was attached to the sparkplugs by
fine copper wires embedded IN the
powder. 1t appeared to have been
set to explode when the motor wa:
started. and bomb experts of the
steriff's office were at loss to &C
count Immediately for its failure.
Ramsey, who lives at Pasadena,
told Altadena deputies he left mis-
car in a San Bernardino garage
Friday night. Returning home SAT-
urday, he said he noticed that the
motor was not functioning we'll,
but did not stop to investigate.
Yesterday, he lifted the hood and
discovered the bomb.
WalkOut Called
Preliminary examination OF the
bo.nb-four inches long and hdii
an inch in diameter-convinced CT
ficers that it contained a lethal
amount of explosive.
Ramsey declined to discuss the
affair. but was inclined to depre-
cate the danger, declaring that he
believed the amount of powder was
only sufficient to startle him.
He said he had experienced no
trouble with agitators either here
or in San Bernardino.
TIE walkout was called for later
today in San Bernardino.
Meanwhile, quiet prevailed on the
milk strike front in Los Angeles.
Employers continued in the belief
that the backbone of the strike had
been broken, while strikers said SO
producers had signed agreements
over the weekend recognizing the
Dairy Workers union. Ficketlrg
was li2ht with no disorder.

GOLD PRICE
NOW $34.45

WASHINGTON, Jan. Is. up
The treasury today raised the price
for new-mined gold to s34.45 i'm
mediately after President Roose-
welt IS gold policy recommendations
had been disclosed to congress.
The price Of s34,45 will take eff
feet tomorrow morning.
This was an increase of 80 cents
over the price which had been MAIN
tanned for several weeks and had
been renewed at the opening OF bus
mess today.
The increase in the price gave the
dollar a value of exactly go cents In
yold. the amount which the Presi-
dent recommended TO congress as
the upper limit of the value a.
which the dollar should be held.

The motorist who Is still driving Q

actually driven or ridden in them, says
w. F. Hufstader, general sales man.
ager, Buick Motor Co. This Is true Of
performance and convenience and most
especially Of comfort, which takes on
a new meaning, he declares adding:
ITO those accustomed to even q
high-priced car of three or four years
ago, even the lowest priced car of to-
day must seem luxurious by contrast
because of the many advances that
have been made throughout the In.
dustry.
Economically we have already en-
tered new era in which the improve.
not help but benefit. With bettered
conditions and better motor cars avail
able the public will be led to buy the
new models. 1t has been several years
since automobiles have been bought in
large volume and this means that thou
sands OF people are driving cars that
they bought as long as five years ago.
They are ready and anxious to make
a change. The greatest replacement
market the automobile industry has
ever known is right in our own door,
yard. If I were a retail salesman, I
should naturally and logically assume
that every person 1 met was a prospect
and 1 should do my utmost to show
him the progress that has been made
in building motor cars.
This means adequate demonstra-
ton and that is what we are urging
our statesmen to give-not Just ride
around the block, but a real opportun-
ity to appreciate the cars and to be-
come convinced of the values they
represent"

Flying Automobile
Is Described by
Seattle Professor
BY tho Associated Press.

BY tho Associated Press.
SEATTLE, January 27.- Aircraft
that will fold its wings and travel along
highways was described here Wednes-
day by its creator, Prof. John w. Miller,
associate professor of aeronautical en-
gineering at the University Of WASH
ington, as a possible forerunner of q
combined motor car and airplane.
Miller said the automobile -airplane
was so designed that the engine power
could be applied to its wheels. making
possible for 1t to travel along highways
to and from airports. He said he had
driven 1t as much as so miles In that
manner.
The airplane and automobile of the
future are going to be astonishingly
alike. said Miller.
They'll not only be streamlined
alike" he added, but the planes may
be able to fold their wings and travel
on roads like an automobile, and the
automobiles will be 50 fast they can
almost fly"
Telescope wings are aerodynamically
feasible, he said, as only mechanical
construction details block their use
today. When wings can be spread out
and contracted easily, so as to afford
any degree of wing surface desired at
any time. he said. a plane can take
of and descend with only short run
way, like helicopter He continued:
"ThiS will increase the safety of air
planes and make 1t easy for the
ordinary citizen to keep a small, cheap
plane with folding wings in his garage,
for pleasure or for committing"

What truth there is in this obser-

in mind that there Is in all the world

are mounted on two chassis wheelbases
Of 1l2 and 116 inches. Motor displace-
ment Is 2l2 cubic inches from q SKIS

the engine the car gives q sensation OF

said to give the motor great resistance
against wear.

wheel springtng . logical development
has come about through our new con-
ception Of comfort. Twenty-Five years
ago the motorists chief concern was
whether his car would take him, with
out too serious interruptions, to his
destination. Today he proceeds with
degree Of comfort not unlike that
which he enjoys sitting in an arm
chair. His car may be heated in Win
ter. cooled and ventilated in Summer,
with radio entertainment added for
good measure.
THE motorist, expecting all these
things and ready to accept more, Is in
step with the times. He realizes that
travel comfort leaves him the physical
strength to transact business or re-
spond to social demands at the end Of
the journey-something he could not
do with the same certainty formerly
that the greater his bodily and mental
ease in driving and riding from one
place to another, the more unimpaired
engages In other activities.
Not All Roads Improved.
"Then, too. it must not be forgotten

ness and travelability. For instance,
there are beautiful concrete roads in
and about the District of Columbia, yet
in Virginia and Maryland are to be
found some highways still awaiting
dernization-roads that are never
theless popular with motorists, who take
to them because Of the unrivaled scenic
grandeur, the historical associations and
other interests that remain inseparable
from the sections through which they
lead. 1t is there, I think, that the
very latest automobile Improvements
will find most convincing demonstra-
ton.
Independent wheel suspension is, of
course, only one Of the improvements. It
is an epoch making forward step, because
1t really means more than the mere elm
ination of the physical sensation of road
shocks. Another almost equally vital
effect is on the control of the car. The
front wheel of the automobile that
does not remain in continuous, unin-
terrupted contact with the road surface,
regardless of whether that surface be
even or uneven, lessons the safe control
with which the driver has over his car.
With properly designed independent
wheel springing the wheel follows the
road contour whatever it may be; the
steering is firmer: the driver can go
faster; now that shimmy, tramping
wheel wobble and similar untoward
manifestations are no more"

WiUys

Having been q forerunner Of the
aerodynamic principle Of body design,
1t is not unusual that the WHY'S "77'
should be continued, unchanged, in de-
sign for 1894. -Four body types are in
the production line, including q sedan.
q panel delivery car and two versions Of
the coupe type. One Is q two-seater,
while the other includes Q rumble seat.
The Willys adaptation OF stream
lining follows the egg" shape school Of
thought rather than the tear drop"
Body lines now up from q sharply
slanted radiator grille, over the curving
top and down to the beaver tail back.
The roof lines curve so tnas, with the
windshield. they merge with the cowl.
Fenders are also cowled. Since there
Is such q smooth contour to the rear
there Is nothing to cause eddies as the
wind sweeps over the body. This at
tention to streamlining partly explains
this small cars ability to attain a speed
Of 10 miles an hour.
Other factors contributing to the per-
formance Of the WHY'S "77" are its low
center Of gravity and the capability Of
its motor At 5000 revolutions per
minute the four-cylinder power plant Of
the WHY'S develops 48 horsepower The
entire power plan is floated in rubber
mountings.
All models Of this streamlined car
are improved by the substitution Of wire
for disc wheels. One of the smart
touches is the placing Of the spare tire
in recess built into the back of the
body. This eliminates any suction ef-
feet which might tend to increase wind
resistance.

through the use Of vanes at the tops Of
the front doors and hinged rear quar-
ter windows. which create q ventura ef-

Numerous improvements have been
made In the mechanical units of the
new Studebakers and the many auto
matte features introduced in 1888 are
continued. These include automatic
choke and automatic switch-key start
ing. The Dictator engine with o pis-
ton displacement Of 2053 inches de-
