The fact that they bad then deciaeo not to noi.i a show, and tnat now tne women enthusiasts are likely to pull off a suc cessful event, has somewhat piqued their vanity, and out of mere opposi tion, to being shown up in an unenvi able light by the weaker sex, they are trying to nuke a last effort to prevent the event However, thoss who have decided to show have gone ahead and made all the arrangements and are now planning for a great big. celebration. The battle, us far as they are concerned, ts over, and undoubtedly many who are outstanding; will rescind, and decide to show, before the doors of the Coliseum sre thrown open.

California autotnoblllsts are much putxled over the conflicting provisions In the new state motor vehicle lsw passed at- the last California legislature and in the various municipal and coun ty regulations.' Among the provisions or tne new law Is an entirely now regis tration. Lob Angeles automoblllsta are preparing to attack the validity of the recently enacted measure on tne ground tnat it embraces two subjects, tne res Istration of the machines and the regu lation or tbelr apeeo, while another ground upon which to base an attack Is the discrimination in favor of motor cycles, which under the old law were not obliged to display numbers. It is also pointed out that non-resi dent owners may drive their machines without a state number. The state law makes it illegal to drive an automobile without lights sn hour after sunset; Los Angeles city ordinances require the lighting of lamps half an hour after sunset. The limit has been reached. however. In Marin county, where suto- moeuists nave been rorbidden the use of the publlo hlghwsys after dark.
