ALL AUTO CLUBS
ON A.A.A. BOARD
Bait Thrown to Far West States
to Be Excellent In
ducement
TO CHECK DISMEMBERMENT
Pacific Coast Commonwealths
Have Fifth of the National
Auto Registration^
All clubs of the American Automobile
association, which has now established
ftself in thirty-nine states, a* « I as in
the District of Columbia and the Ha
waiian Islands, will, when an amend
ment to the constitution suggested by
■Resident L. R. Speare, ia adopted at
t^e forthcoming annual meeting in New
York city, have representation on all
four national boards-good roads, tour.
Ing, legislative and contest-in add ton
to furnishing a member of the direc
torate. The proposed constitutional
.hange has met with practically unanl
mouT approval, and hence its adoption
plan the chairmen of
club committees wil) automatically be
come members of national boards hav
ing similar functions. This will give
every organized A. A. A. unit a voice
and a vote on all national boards, and
likewise supply country-wide eourcea
of information and co-operation when
ever occasion arises for prompt and
effective action.
One of the most recent accomplish
ments of the A. A. A. local-state-na
tlonal plan is the passage of an amend
ment to the Vermont law, which du
plicates the wide-open reciprocity
clause of the New York statute, lhis
means that Vermont will reciprocate
in registration without limit to any
state responding in like quantity and
in a limited form to. those calling for
a specified number of days. The hos
pitable amendment was sought by the
Automobile club of Vermont, of which
Col W W. Brown of Springfield is
president and S. S. Ballard secretary
and James M. Boutwell. Montpeller,
chairman of the legislative committee.
Secretary of State Bailey had said at
the annual meeting of the State club
that he was in favor of placing Ver
mont in the open-door list, and that
lie would support any measure having
this object in view.
In the Keystone state the Pennsyl
vania Motor federation supplied an
other indication of organized results in
securing ante-election promises from
legislative candidates, which would in
sure the passage of a needed good
roads law. President Robert P. Hoop
er and Secretary Paul C. Wolff wero
given the unanimous assistance of the
FederaUon's clubb throughout the
state, with results that were most grat
ifying.
The Associated Automobile clubs of
New Jersey pursued a persistent cam
paign in such an effective manner that
It would seem to bt practically assured
that the obnoxious registration provis
ion in the law of that state would be
come a thing of the past during the
forthcoming session of the legislature.
In carrying on the labor President Jo
seph H. Wood anc 1. Secretary H. A.
Bonnell were accorded support from all
the clubs in the state organization,
■while the dealers" association rendered
valuable assistance.
The A. A. A. legislative board will
carry on active work in the various
states of the country where the auto
mobile laws have yet to be brought
Into satisfactory condition and Chair
man Charles Thaddeus Terry reports
that his board has contributed various
kinds of assistance In over a dozen
states during the past month or so.
That the winter will be an exceedingly
lively one in regard to automobile leg
islation is presagod by the activities
that are even now becoming apparent.
The efforts will Include the bettering
of old laws and the establishing of
statutes where none now exist, with
the campaign Including uniformity aa
the keynote.
The subject of good roads is com
manding country-wide attention, with
the automobilists carrying on the
greater part of the work.
LORD MOTOR CAR CO.
ADDS NEW AUTO LINE
The Garford Is an Established
Machine Under New Name
About the first of August last the Garford
company and the Etudebaker Automobile com
pany severed relations for reasons which would
be of little Interest to the public, consequently
the cars formerly known aa the Studebaker-
Garford will b» known and sold under the
name of Garford.
The Garford company Is one of the very
oldest manufacturers of high grade mtotor
cars in this country, and up until 1906 there
im hardly an automobile manufactured In
this country soiling for 13000 or more that did
not contain a Garford part. The Garford com
pany has been manufacturing complete chassis
since 1902, and the first cars which they built
compare favorably with the present hi^ rh grade
cars In points of mechanical excellence, de
sign and quality of steel used. Their 1902
chassis had four-oyllnder motor, cylinders cast
In pairs, cone clutch, sliding gear transmis
sion, floating type rear axle, and pressed steel
/name, and they used fifty-point carbon steel
Sn all of the parts carrying any great strain.
They cut thetr gears out of a solid bar and
iu'ver did use drop forge blanks for this work.
In the years 1906 and* 1907 the Rainier car,
manufactured by Garford, was by far the
most popular and best seller in New York and
vlotnlty.
In the past four years the Garford chassis
tins been responsible for Btudebaker's reputa
tion in the automobile business. The Garford
plant Is one of the finest In existence, being
absolutely fireproof and equipped with all of
the very latest automatic machinery. Special
attention is called to this fact by reason of
Mr. Garford owning a very large per cent of
the stock of the Cleveland Automatic Machine
company, which manufactures most of the ma
chines used In the manufacture of automobiles
In this and foreign countries. Thus It can be
seen that the Garford cars are placed on the
market with the reputation obtained by having
manufactured high grade motor cars for a
period of over ten years, the cbanga being a
matter of name only.
Those cars will be handled by the Lord
Motor Car company of 10SI South Olive street,
who report that they have a carload on the
road consisting of one two-ton truck and two
forty-horse power touring cars. This shipment
should be In Los Angeles not later than De
cember 6.
Friends of Henry Charles Keating
are willing to pay a liberal reward for
his return to the fold, for the only
glimpses they get of him these days
1b as he flits by in his "green streak"
American Traveler. Mr. Keating Is
so struck on his new car that he is at
the wheel a good portion of each
twenty-four hours, and rumcr has it
that he intends entering his car in the
24-hour race at the Motordrome Christ
mas. American cars bold many rec
ords in long contests, and this par
ticular car is the handsomest of Its
ldnd ever seen on the coast.
It's a* easy to a*cure a. ±ar(,-aln In a used
automobltn, through want advertising, •■ It

STRANG FIRST ENTRY
IN INTERNATIONAL RACE
Racing Pilot Signifies Intention of
Appearing in $25,000
Sweepstakes
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Dec. 3.—Lewis
Strung, one of America's most famous
motor racing pilots, takes the honor
of being the lirst man to enter In the
uOO-mile International $25,000 sweep
stakes competition to be run on the
Indianapolis motor speedway May 27,
1911. Only a couple of days had elapsed
after the flood of entry blanks had
gone forth to every automobile manu
facturer and pilot on two continents
when the blank signed by Strang and
nominating a Caae car was received
at the office of the big racing plant.
The necessary initial deposit of $125
accompanied the entry, with the news
that the dare-devil victor in three In
ternational classics in one season (that
of 190S) expected to pledge two more
powerful speed demons from the Case
factory at an tarly date. Lewis
Strang;, who is captain and manager of
the Case company's racing gquudron,
declared that he would handle one of
the cars himself and that ho planned
to sign two other pilots of signal
achievement in the gasoline speed
world and so send throe special mon
sters on the grueling flignt of 500 miles
for the richest rewards that ever lured
a prince of the speed game to victory.
The announcement of the Indianapo
lis motor speedway that it would pro
mote the 800-mile international sweep
stakes race was so stupendous that
lew could realize that it was in ear
nest. A fortune in gold for a motor
race is hard to realize, even In these
days of modern sophistication, when
no achievement of man can hardly be
expected to hold the public in awe.
The tremendous distance, coupled
witli the stipulation that every en
trant must show a speed of seventy
flve miles per hour to qualify, and the
unheard-of proportions of the cash
prizes proved sufficient, however, to ar
rest the attention of the automobile
and the entire sporting world. People
are beginning to appreciate the sig
nificance of this announcement.
This race will be open to all cars of
600 cubic inches piston displacement
and under, with a minimum weight of
2300 pounds, regardless of stock re
quirements. It wiil be run under the
auspices of the American Automobile
association, under the division known
in the present rule book as class C.
NEWSPAPERMEN TO BE
FETED AT AUTO RACES
Indianapolis Speedway Manage
ment Sparing No Pains
Not a single detail looking to the
comfort and convenience, of the visitors
at the Indianapolis motor speedway
during the 600-mile race, May 27, is be
ing overlooked by the management.
The fortune of $25,000 which Is
whettlag the appetite of both motor
car builders and pilots for the coming
speed battle of all times, means that
from the four corners of the winds
there will be contestants, visitors and
newspaper and magazine men present
to witness and record the happenings.
Carl G. Fisher, president of the Speed
way company, has the assurance from
Will H. Brown, vice president of the
Willys-Overland company, that a
squadron of automobiles wiil be at the
service of the Speedway people upon
this date. They will be used by the
magazine and newspaper reporters and
photographers. The circular paved
race course Is two and a half miles long
and in case of accident autos will carry
all the soldiers, and ambulance pliy.si
sians as well as nevs^aper men. There
will be no work left for the hors ■ as
automobiles will care for everything.
The horse has been relegated to the
catagory of curious luxuries at the
speedway where gasoline is king.
In five years' service, coveringl 58,000
miles a l^ocomoblle demonstrating car
In Chicago used but two sets of Dia
mond tires. One of the tires was re
moved from the rim last month for
the flr,nt time since it wasr put on three
years ago and had 28,000 miles service
to its credit. This Diamond tire had
been in service both summer and win
ter without ever having been punc
tured.

We have told you in this column why
the Inter-State motor and clutch do
their work so well year alter year, and
as the transmission Is next In Import
ance, we will explain why It also does
Its work In suoh a 'perfect manner.
I It Is selective type, three speeds for
ward and reverse, with big, heavy, wide
face, coarse pitch gears that stand the
terrlflo strain of thousands of changes
In the hands of careless operators, with
out a suggestion of fault or trouble.
Heavy annular ball bearings carry the
load, and as there is no universal Joint
between the transmission and rear axle,
the scan are always In perfect align
ment, no matter what the position of
the wheels on the road. The transmis
sion case Is bolted fast to the driving
tube leading from the rear axle, and the
front of the case Is hung In a ball
socket on the cross member of the
frame. It Is this hangup of the trans
mission whloh eliminates gear noise en
tirely In th« Inter-State. Watch .an
Inter-State get under way-and you will
note that It makes less noise on low and
second speeds than most cars make on
bl No car in the world" within 1750 to
JlOOO higher In price can stand com
parison with the Inter-State
"BULL DOG"
It Is the toughest, huskiest construction
on the road.

HAYNES CAR WINS TWO
ENDURANCE RUN TROPHIES
Tn the Chicago reliability ran, held
under the auspices of the Chicago
Motor club, the two Haynes entries,
driven by Wagner and Williams re
spectively, finished with perfect scores,
winning the Goodrich and Stewart and
Clark trophies. The run covered a
fraction over 1030 miles after five con
tinuous days of traveling.
Because of recont rains the roads
were in anything but good condition
and the schedule called for twenty
miles an hour throughout over this
strenuous going. Many of the highest
powered contender 1? were forced to
abandon all hope of reaching control
on time, but the Haynes entries hung
doggedly to their task, plowing through
mud and bumping through ruts, but
reaching every control on the second.
It is concededly the most remarkable
endurance performance ever pulled oft
In the vicinity of Chicago.
A telegram Just received by the local
branch of the Haynes Auto Sales com
pany bespeaks the elation of the
Haynes factory over the astonishing
victory of the'two cars.
Charles Fuller Gates has gotten the
fever and moved on Auto Row with
his weekly breezy publication, Pacific
Motoring, which from now on will be
Issued from 1234 South Olive street.

rived In Los Angeles a few days ago, over
tho Salt Lake, a trainlnadi of 2000 sheep from
Utah. The owner, L. Agoure, with his Inter-
State Torpedo and several assistants drove
the big flock through LO3 Angeles' streets
from the Salt Lake cattle pens to a point on
Stevenson avenue, where they are held await-
InK another tralnload, when the entire flock
will be driven to Mr. Atroure's 16,000-acre

says he will mako It In a third shorter time
than without the use of the car. .~
Buick again showed its class in the recent Motordrome meet, showing
in front at the finish in several races.
No car made will win ALL the races it starts In; but Buick is al
ways willing to take Its chances with the rest of the bunch. Its proud

It is a safe bet that a car that CAN'T win won't TRY.

NEW COMPANY TO HANDLE
POPULAR WHITE MOTOR CAR
An agency for the popular White
motor cars has been re-established in
Los Angeles. The new Southern Cali
fornia agents are the McCarty-Parker
Auto company, who have just taken
possession of tho handsome, new gar
age and sales room at the corner of
Eleventh and Flower. They will han
dle both gasoline and strum cars; and
as tho "White ha* such an established
Imputation tho outlook for big business
is good. Both members of the firm are
well known locally.
The new White "40" is the cream o\
tho late models, and in both torpedo
and touring bodies are to be. seen at
the sales room this week. Tho com
pany figures It that the best tribute
that could be paid their engine Is that
expert engineers could offer no Im
provement of their thirty horse power
engine, so that the new engine is but
a larger type of the first design.
Carrigan Bros, report a favorable
reception for their new line of cars—
the Pratt-Blkhart and several good
agencies have already been placed.
Onn of the new cars was delivered last

MOTOR
CARS
formerly known as the "Studebaker Garford"
will hereafter be marketed direct by the Gar
ford Company, who are one of the very oldest
manufacturers of automobiles in this country
Chassis built by Garford in 1902-1903 are
to be seen on the streets of Los Angeles today,
and they compare favorably with the latest
type motor car designs—4 cylinder motor,
floating type rear axle, cone clutch, pressed
steel frame and sliding gear transmission.
The new Garford model is a development
of the Garford chassis that put Studebakers in
the automobile business. Before that the
Garford chassis put Rainier in the automobile
business, and made him leader in New York
during 1906-1907. Before that there was hardly
a car selling at $3000 or over that did not con
tain a Garford component part. There are
today over 10,000 Garford chassis in use in this
country. Such prominent men as Uncle Joe
Cannon, Andrew Carnegie, Jas. J. Hill, Chas.
W. Fairbanks, Senator Reed Smoot, Judge R.
A. Balling, Geo. B. Cortelyou, Chas. A.
Comiskey, G. Templeton Crocker, Frank T.
Holder and many other celebrities are among
the list of users of Garford chassis.
The independent selling career of Garford
therefore begins under most favorable
auspices.
The Garford Company will offer for 1911
. one model chassis only in the pleasure line,
to which will be fitted 7-passenger touring,
roadster, demi-tonneau of 'limousine bodies.
The Garford line of trucks will consist of one,
two and three ton models, selling from $1850
to $3500. The motor used in the pleasure
car and in the two and three ton trucks is the
famous 4-cylinder Garford "40" motor, the
cylinder dimensions of which are 434 in. bore,
554 in. stroke. This is the fourth year's use
of this motor and the third year's use of the
Bosch magnetic plug ignition, which absolutely
eliminates ignition trouble. The ignition
advantages of the low tension spark you well
know if you are ignition wise. Why don't
more people use this system? Because it adds
about $150 to the cost of the car.
We will have one two-ton truck and two
touring cars on exhibition at our salesroom
Wednesday next. Watch for our next ad
as to how we will care for Garford cars. It
will be interesting.
