men at work today on placing the
signs on the store windows designating
the seml-puhllc comfort stations In the
business district. The design to bo
used Is one suggested at the recent con
vention of the American Society of
Plumbing Inspectors, of which Mr.
Shaver Is a member, and consists of
a red cross surrounded by a green cir
cle five Inches In diameter. In the
center of the cross will be the letter
"W," where the station Is for the use
of women, and a letter "M" where It
Is for men's use. These stations, which
are furnished free! by the merchants
displaying the symbol' on their win
dows, are designed to meet a long felt
need In the city pending the establish
ment of the proposed large comfort sta
tion and rest room which la being
planned by the city.
During a canvass of four hours by
Mr. Shaver thirty-three merchants
signed the list agreeing to accommo
date their patrons and others with the
facilities at their command and It Is
expected that the total will reach 100
when the canvass Is completed. The
symbol to bo used hero will also be
Used In other cities throughout the
country where the system Is inaugur
ated, thus making Its significance plain
to visitors from one city to another.

GOOD GOVT. CANDIDATES
AT REDONDO CONFIDENT
Campaign in Beach City Unus
ually Tame-Women Favor
League Standard Bearers
REDONDO REACH. April 3.—With
just one week left until the election
on April 11, the municipal campaign
has y«'t shown no signs of liveliness,
and unless the Initiative is taken by
some of "the, independent candidates
shortly, the campaign will end as it
ber;an—one of the tamest In the his
tory of the city. No trace of bitter
(eellng among the candidates has man
ifested Itself at any time during tho
last thirty days, which practically cov
ers the duration of the campaign.
11. B. Alnsworth, A. B, Steel and J.
11 cavanah, the Good Government
leaguo candidate! for city trustee, are
to nil appearance* resting on their
oars, considering that the strength of
the league is sufficient to elect thorn
by a large majority. On the other hand
B. L. Phillips, who seeks re-election,
and Cleveland Hoansler. both self
styled Independent candidates, aro
making a quiet but persistent effort to
defeat the Good Government men at
the polls. Alnsworth Is already con
sidered elected, as he has no oppo
sition.
Tho contest between W. A. Anderson,
Fred Crew and Charles .1. Creller, In
cumbent, for city clerk Is somewhat
spirited, since the board of trustees
increased the salary of that official to
$mo a month.
Throughout the campaign the women
of tho city have been back of tho Goood
Oo"ernment league candidates. Some
time ago they formed a woman's aux
iliary to the league, and it is said they
have swung a large number of. votes
toward the league candidates by their
domestic electioneering.

CAUSE OF BOARD SPLIT
SAN BERNARDINO, April 3.—As
the result of the purchase of additional

the members voted t<> purchase v lot
on Arrowhead avenue, adjoining the
school property, which Is 7">x150 feet.
The price was $3500. Two member! "f
the board protested, holding out for
the selection of a lot next south, 91x
150 feet, at a price of $3000.

OLDFIELD BREAKS
RECORD FOR MILE
Drives His Blitzen Benz Over
Motordrome Course in
36 1-5 Seconds
DE PALMA LATER EQUALS IT
Timing Is Reliable, as Official
Timer of A. A. A. Was* One of
Those Who Caught It
Barney turned the trick at the Motor
drome- yesterday afternoon. The
World'! speed king sent hir-i wonderful
Blitzen Bens a mile in .'ifii-'i leconds,
at a rate Of 99.44 miles per hour,
and making good Jack Prince's claim
that the fastest niiln ever driven on
any track in America would be shown
| here in L/is Angeles.
Ultllleld drove a mile over the Day
tona, Florida, beach in 27.33 seconds
! with the same car ho used yesterday,
I but the course was a straightaway and
! cannot be compared to the mile circle
here. Nothing save a bullet ever trav
i eled faster than Oldfield did In Florida.
; The American record for one mile on a
track was heM by Lewis Strong in a
200 horse power Flat, made at Atlanta
I over the two-mile speedway last Oc-
I tober. Strang's time was 37.72, SO it
readily will be seen that Oldfleld's mile
i yesterday gives the veteran driver the
I undisputed right to the title of track
j king, although his position in the game
i for the past seven years has made no
; other proof necessary.
The timing yesterday was not of the
"guess so" variety. One man who held
a watch that showed the record time
was official timer C. H. Warner of the
American Automobile association, sent
i here to officiate at the races. Charlie
i Burman, Roger Steams, Dick Ferris,
F. E. Moscovlca and Bert Dingley were
the.other timers and three of them
caught the Kith in 36 seconds flat.
Barney's drive was most spectacular
and nerve-shredding*. Charlie nurman
and others begged the speed king hot
to go for a r- • nr'l yesterday, as it was
tho first time he had ever had the B<nz
on the course, while the other driven
have covered hundred* of miles at top
■peed and are thoroughly accustomed
to the turns. But with an air of reck
' less abandon King Barney swung
onto the track, after adjusting the his
toric cigar stub, ami taking two laps to
warm up, gave the timers the signal
I to clock him for a little breeze.
It »vas rumored around the track that
f'aleb Brags, ""' daring but modest
little driver of the Fiat "90," had been
replaced by Ralph De Palma us pilot
of the Fiat. Bragg wad* many friends
by his Rood driving and splendid time
in practice and though De Palma may
have hsid more experience BragK's
■bowing here certainly entitled him to
a chance to drive tho star car of the
Flat stable. De Palma took the car
from Bragg yesterday and showed sev
eral miles under forty seconds.
Ralph de Palma also did the mile In
the same time, according to Dr. Bun-
Icy and Bruno Belbel, while others who
held watches on this event verified the
tlmp. De Palma did not go onto the
track until 6:26 o'clock last evening,
after Oldfleld had hung out tho
world's record, but there was n large
crowd In attendance and many compe
tent timers to give the time announced
a touch of reliability.
Oldfleld had his 200-horsopower "Bllt
zen Benz" and de Palma used Caleb
Rragg'H Fiat "no." It was the first
brush between the champions prelim
inary to the grent race which will de
termine who Is the racing: champion of
the world. The two cars wore not on
tho motordrome at the same time, as
de Palma did not use Ihc Fiat until
Bragg had finished his practice work
and then changed gtars before start
ing.
The spnsatlonnl view of the big ears
thundering by the grand stand was
enhanced by the ability to watch them
all the way around the "pie pan." Even
at the half mile post, when they were
further away from the spectators than
at any other point, the tremendouß
speed developer! was fascinating. The
cars running on the motordrome do not
always maintain the same speed, but
frequently make exciting spurts. Even
on an ordinary mile track these are
n fully visible to the grand stand,
but every second of the race at the
motordrome gives a full vielw of the
machines.
Dp Palma and Oldfield's fast mile is
at the exact rate of 99.44 miles an
hour. Even at that th°y are far from
reaching the possibilities of the track
or their machines and oxperts are chary
about venturing a guess as to the
speed which will he made in the mo
tordrome inaugural for fear of putting
It too low. Although the motordrome
Is a perfect cirelrt whose circumfer
ence does not vary at any point, It Is
so large that a look straight along the
track gives the Idea of a straightaway.
As a result the racing car rounding
the circle toward a spectator seems to
be coming directly at him, when In fact
it is merely following the circular
course.
When Oldfleld's wicked looking Benz
came around the track yesterday af
ternoon ■ a number of the spectators
were fully convinced that he was go-
Ing full tilt Into the grand stand find
there was a scattering. They were In
no danger, however, for in less than
n MCOHd'I time they were lookine Bt
