the culmination of several meetings
held last November, when the Automo

decided to give up their proposed snow,
after spending 11,000. The fact that
they bad then deciaeo not to noi.i

enthusiasts are likely to pull off a suc
cessful event, has somewhat piqued
their vanity, and out of mere opposi

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;

the doors of the Coliseum sre thrown

the California Woman's Automobile club
has received entries enough to guar

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.

moeuists nave been rorbidden the use
of the publlo hlghwsys after dark. The
automoolllets hope to bring about uni
formity of state and local legislation
by a systematlo campaign.
