Tour; Scenery Fine.
The Victoria. B. C Automobll
soclatlon has Just announced ita
tentlon to tour to San Francisco to
attend the Annual Pacific Highway con
ventlon. held there August S, and 7.
This means a representative delegation
of Vancouver 'Island motorists will
drive to the California metropolis for
the International convention of the Fa
rifle Highway Association. . The de
cislon to make this event one of their
club runs was reached at a recent
meeting held at Victoria. With the
Victoria. Seattle and Portland Clubs
making the run to Ban Francisco and
the possibility of having Tacoma, New
Westminister and Vancouver Joining
thle aggregation, the Northern motor
ists 'who make the tour to California
this Summer will make a very good
ahowlng.
Another feature that did much to
imorove the Northern end of the rm
ciflo Highway waa the observation of
good roads day In the atate of Wash
In sr ton. April II. Governor M. K. Hay
toured over the worst section of the
Pacific Highway In the Southwestern
section and did a lot of actual con
atructlon work In helping repair the
road. The territory the Washington
Executive covered was in Lewis and
CowUti counties. In the Southern part
of Lewla County, just out of Toledo,
159 men celebrated good roads day by
repairing their aectlon of the Pacific
Highway. This particular stretca naa
been In bad condition all Winter.
Complaint has been made by ad
venturous mortorlsts who have made
the trip between Seattle and Portland
as to present conditions of the Pacific
Highway. No doubt, however, with the
Interest that was stirred np by the ob
servanco of good roads day immediate
relief will be had ami repairs will be

so that all kinds of travel can pass

Buyer Should Own Vehicle That An-
srwera AH Purposes.
One of the mistakes common In the
automobile business Is the grave error
of purchasing the wrong car
Automobiles of today are vehicles of
utility as well as pleasure. The buyer
should pick a car that combines the
two. "Ordinary caution dlctatea who
should buy automobiles. says L. H.
Itose. Northwest manager of the Su
debaker Corporation of America, "and
that same prudence la the reason why.
for Instance, the Studebaker Corpora
tion can prove by simple arithmetic
that every day ia a financial losa to
certain men if they do not use an au
tomobile. -
"All that la necessary to know la
that a man's business requires him to
move quickly from one point to an
other that it Is of advantage to him
to do bis work quicker, cheaper and
better and It increases Its volume In
given period. Jf time.
"Salesmen need the motor car. It In
creases their efficiency by greater con
tact with prospects. Collectors can
cover more ground. Physicians are the
greatest users of automobiles; tbetr
patients get prompt treatment. In the
harvest time the farmer can get over
ground in the same day it formerly re
quired several. The real estate man
meets his prospective owner at the
station, whisks them off to the prop
erty, covering twice the ground and
handling twice the number of pros

AUTOMOBILE CALENDAR OUT

- ry on the Hudson "3S."
Women, as drivers of motor cars, this
Spring have arrived in earnest.
Approximately twice the numoer ox
women drivers of automobiles will ap
pear at the wheels or nign-powerea
cars this Summer, for reports from
motor oar headquarters throughout the
county show there are double the num
ber of women purchasers of new sexr-
startlng as there were for 1911 cars.
which had to bo cranked.
News to this effect, compiled from re
ports from all sections of the United
States, recently reached O. E. McCarthy.
In addition It Is stated that there has
been a surprising Increase In the num
ber of motor car licenses issued by
.uthorltles since the coming of the
"cranklesa" automobile era.
The first American woman .of Na
tlonal prominence to take the guidance
of her car upon her own shoulders was
Mrs. Frank J. Gould, or New York, a
member of one of Gotham's oldest fami
lies. Mrs. Gould became owner and
driver of a new self-starting Hudson
'33 the first of the year, and since that
time hundreds of women In many sec
tions of the United States have as
sumed the same role. -"
While women are known to be the
final factors in the decisions of heads
of families to own automobiles, a wo
man driving her own car has been un
usual up to a short time ago. Now,
however, the drudgery that accom
panied the work of starting the motor
has been done away with by the self-
starter and that has made it possible
for women to drive their own cars, for
there Is no work to do. The mere
pressure of a button starts the car
from the seat. It Is as easy as ringing
an electric bell. There la no necessity
In getting out in front of the car and
going through the exhaustive work of
cranking the motor a doxen times or
more In order to start It.
The "crankless" automobile era. with
It freedom from the cranking drudge
ry, has greatly enlarged the province of
t,he automobll In modern transportation.

TWO-POINT MAGNETO FAVORED
Charles Splltdorf Explain How It
Gives Increased Auto Power.
"It Is an established fact, proven to
the satisfaction of all who have given
It a fair trial, that the double distrib
utor magneto gives Increased power to
the automobile equipped with It. and
many of the leading manufacturers,
like the Pope-Hartford and National
companies, are adopting this type of
Ignition." said Charlea F. Splftdorf. of
tbe Camous Splltdorf Ignition labora
tories.
A single spark calls for an approxi
mate advance or 10 degrees at the max
imum power developed, but the actual
advance Is reduced 15 degrees. Owing
to the twin sparks obtained and firing
simultaneously, the compressed charge
Is Ignited quicker and from both sides
of the cylinder, thus burning the charge
quicker and also tending to expand it
more completely.

California motorists are urged to
tour Portlandward by C. E. Halliwell,
vice-president of the Halliwell Com
pany. . He has motored all over the
West and declares that the trip to
Oregon Is the most delightful one on
the Pacific Coast. . Tbe accessory dis
tributor Is . doing great missionary
work in boosting for CalifornJa-Ore
gon touring and takes evrry available
opportunity to boost It,. The following
Is from a Los Angeles paper:
i"Of all the trips I have taken on the
Pacific Coast, the one to Portland has
been the most Interesting," says Mr.
Halliwell. "The route takes one
through a country rich In agricultural
resources and with miles of beautiful
tlmberland. All the way north from
San Francisco the trip Is wonderful
beyond be'lef.
"Motorists who have been over the
road and do not want to waste four
days on the run between Los Angeles
and San Francisco csn do it easly In
three days by starting early each
morning.
"The more adventurous who like to
hurry can go up In two days. Those
who go In two days must get an early
start out of Los Angele and cannot
waate much time In stopping for lunch
Figure making San Luis Obispo for
dinner and driving the 40 miles over
the mountalna to Paso nobles tnat
night to sleep. An early start out of
Paao Robles would enable you to make
San Francisco the next night. If no
bad luck Is encountered. Of course,
such a trip means that the driver must
hurry the car every minute, and there
can be little sightseeing stops along
the road.
"A wonderful country lies north of
San Francisco, and all Calirornlans
should see It,. Motorists are not getting
full enjoyment out of their cars if they
do not make these long trips. A great
many men will drive from 8000 to 10.000
miles a year on the city streets and in
going. to the beaches, but will never
think of making a 500-mlle trip for a
Summer vacation.
There Is no greater pleasure than
driving leisurely through, a country
which is entirely new to you and each
night have mountain resort hotels for
stopping places, or camping out on
some beautiful spot. Some people prefer
the comfort of a hotel, while others find
more enjoyment In camping under the
trees, living entirely In the great out
door.
Summer vacation time will soon be
"here and now Is the time to plan these
trips. Half of the fun Is In talking over
the different available Jaunts.
Among the trips which suggest
themselves first are as follows:
Los Angeles to San Diego. Lakeside
and Tia Juana: Los Angeles to ban
Francisco over the coast route; Los An
geles to San Francisco over the val
ley road; Los Angele. to Portland; Los
Angeles to Yosemlte Valley and all the
Intermediate trips.
I am willing to aid motorists every
way In my power In planning tneae
trips, snd any Information which I do
not have on hand I will be able to ser
cure from the different branch mana

XEW GOLF LIST INTERESTING
N'ew York and Chicago In Lead for
Championship Ratines.
NEW YORK. April 20. As showing
the relative strength of the -several
golfing sections and cities of this coun
try, nothing) more lucid has ever been
placed before the public than the Na
tional rating list, recently jssuea oy
the United States Golf Association. The
work of the handlcappers. Indeed, forms
an Interesting study and brings forc
ibly to observation that while New
York and Chicago would seem to be
engaged In a breakneck race for su
premacy. Philadelphia and Boston are
being sadly outdistanced.
That such should be the case Is all
the more remarkable, considering that
both cities are veritable hotbeds of
golf. The Massachusetts Association,
which has been In existence something
like 12 years, and may, therefore, be
safely said to have long ago cut all its
teeth, admits a minority of only ten
clubs, or fewer, to the Metropolitan
Golf Association. As the latter body
has a membership of more v than 60
clubs, evidence Is not wanting that
lying about the outskirts of the Hub
are all the facilities for the fostering
of the champions of the links.

Compared In this way It does, not
seem so very odd that the' Metropoli
tan team should have scored an al
most unbroken run of successes In the
trl-clty matches for the isley cup.
The wonder Is rather that the Massa
chusetts side should have played so
many close mathes and even won the
trophy within recent years. There Is a
popular contention that the only ad
vantage the scratch man has over the
player of small odds Is his consistency.
Here at least is proof that between. a
well-balanced team of two-stroke and
three-stroke players and another side
where the handicaps range from
scratch to five, there Is 'not so very
much difference.
