He drove last year with Eddie Hearne in his Revere Special and has driven more than 200 races on board, dirt and brick tracks. He also won the Golden Gate Motor Derby at San Carlos on Caster Sunday. Roscos Sarles, a northwestern favorite and one of the most daring drivers that ever gripped a wheel, was second man last year at Tacoma ; second last year at Indianapolis and second' in national rating for 192L Joe Thomas. Washing ton's own champion, is a Seattle boy and has made a name for himself in "big league" racing. Joe was third last year at Tacoma- and also won the Raisin Day classic last year in Fresno. Wilbur 4'Alene. alias "Leadfoot BUI because of his heavy right brogan, was the first to enter the Tacoma event and he will bring one or more' Monroe speed cars to Tacoma. D'Alene. -drove in ' Tacoma in ' 1915 and at one-time captained the Due senberg team of which Tommy Milton was a member. "The speed kings are keenly antici pating , the Tacoma races," said Mr. Baldwin upon his return from the. Cali fornia racing camps last Thursday. The Pacific coast holds most of their atten tion now because all of the "big tracks of the country are on the Paeific slope. Tacoma'i bowl Is the only Class A track In the west, consequently it offers a change from the small tracks in -the eouth. The . Indianapolis track is the only other Class A track i ntfie country but It can not offer the speed that our track can. Atmospheric conditions have a lot to do with it and the drivers find that northwest ozone is particularly suited to their delicate carbureters." ' , f Bickenbacker 'Hat in The Ring1 Car Makes Its First Appearance Detroit. Mich.. May 20. Bedecked with gay ribbons and "hat in the ring" pen i.ants, the one thousandth motor .car rolled off the production chain at the Rickenb&cker factory in Detroit Wednes day', May 10. signalizing the first red letter day in the history of Detroit's youngest and moat aggressive automo bile manufacturing organization. In view of the fact,. that the Rickenbacker Motor company has been on a volume produc tion basis for barely 60 days, the feat of producing 1000 motor cars In the period of three months is a wonderful record. Elated over their achievement. Captain Eddie Rickenbacker and his associate executives arranged a celebration in honor of the occasion. The one thou sandth car a coupe- was assembled in the presence of th Rickenbacker offi cials and a distinguished 'crowd of in ' vited guests who followed it through the final assembly until it was delivered into the hands of the testers. Tits "hat In the ring" insignia and ihe ribbons had been put on as the car progressed along the chain.

PROTEST IS MADE AGAINST MERGER Roosevelt Highway Association Objects to Ruling of At torney Genera!. MM ERCIAL COUPE TO BE INTRODUCED Braley, Graham & Childs Expecl New Model; to Arrive rle July 1; Demand Greatr" June or July will see the advent of the new Dodge commercial cooped aJ ' B. Graham of Braley, Graham Childs, local Dodge distributors, announced j last week. i i h ( The new model has created consider able interest among business men, jwho are watching for its appearance; he said. It will be built on the same! tines as the roadster, but ' will have a coupe top. i. r r :. i i : "This ca will- not have all the frills demanded by ; the r women drivers." A. protest has been lodged with Gov ernor Olcott by the Roosevelt memorial coast h'ghway association against the contemplated absorption by the state nmmMlnn of a soecial author ization to issue bonds to the amount of t $2,500,000 with which to meet a lute ap propriation by the federal government for the construction of a highway along the coast. The authorization was voted by the electors in May, 1919, and its term of 1ta n'aa .rltnitlul til WhrUftTV 1. 1921. At this date the federal government had not met the condition and! the legislature of 1921 extended 'the lifle of the state tesue to February 1. 192?. On the pre mise that the federal government would make no speciric appruHinuuu mi coast highway Attorney General Van Winkle recently rendered the opinion that the state highway commission could Issue bonds up to the full constitutional limit of approximately $40,000)00 with out making a deduotion for the Roosevelt highway bonds. The protest of the Roosevelt memorial highway association takes the ground that the premise of the attorney general is wrong and that it is yet possible that the federal government will make the appropriation before February, 1923, and recites that there is pending a bill in congress Introduced by Senator McNary providing for the appropriation. The governor is asked to request a revised opinion from the attorney general and to exert his authority over the state highway commission to prevent the ab sorption of the issue. English Bay License Of $5 a Horsepower On All Automobiles Of great interest to the motorists in the elate of Oregon, who are complaining about "high automobile license fees, is the Information from London that the Knglish motor tax is 1 pound sterling per horse power for the year. This means that the average car, say of 80 to 50-horse power would cost from ?150 to $250 a year, at the. normal rate of exchange, for licenses alone. This li cense fee has been the source of great trouble in Kngland. The British manu facturers have changed the plans of their models, at great cost in factory remodel ling, to make cars of low horsepower. The American ears are particularly hit by the tax, but observers say that it is no more than the English themselves are affected. Last year the total revenue from motor taxes was 9,135.832. This was 1.000.000 i- more than- estimated in the budget. Mexican Highway Is Proposed by the El Paso Auto Club To Jink the United States with Mexico City by a motor road from Juarez south Is the plan of the El Paso Automobile club, according to information received from J. W. Dye, American consul at Juarez. It ia proposed that the highway follow approximately the same course as the Mexico Central railway, that is south from Juarez through Chihuahua, Jtmlnes, Torreon, Zacateas and Querela ro to the capital. Raising of funds for the highway will 1m attempted by having each of the cities through which it passes to contribute and also to get a grant from the national government. Dye states. This road, he points outSroald enable totrrsta to go al most direct to the center of Mexico, which would be the -first step of a Pan American highway. ? Barcelona Auto Show To Have Yankee Cars i American automobiles will be shown extensively -at the second annual auto mobile show to : be held in Barcelona, Spain, May 14 to June 6.

This cr Urn, six and la Oraham said, -but will be sturdily built if or hard road use. It will have ail oi the closed-in features. The doors wm be wide ta enable traveling men to handle their luareare easily. The uphol- istering will be leather as in the roadster model." i I Due to the demand for closed raoaeis Dodge Brothers are remodeling their closed car plant, Graham said. I The plant, recently completed, is housed in an eight' story building. When built it was made to a i capacity of 100 cirs a day. I I This. Graham said, was insufficient and the output will be doubVd as soon as the machinery is reinstalled on the new designs. Factory bulletins indicate that this will be completed about the first of July. ! Then; we will be able to supply our buyers," j he wept on, "for they assure us there ' will be cars for every one.
