the season's sensational victors and
a llkalr contender for fint IiaiuiM In
the - annual Thanksgiving day classic
on the jjom Angeles, speed-way. -
i i Just before the big race last Thanks
giving day Earl Cooper, veteran read
. and speedway hero who staged a sen-
isational' coma-back at Fresno with Joe
Thomas' car; while the latter was In
' the hospital with . a severe case f
- blood poisoning, was asked to drive
an old Trontenac car. The Job. be
l longed . to Ixmia . Chevrolet and had
-been shipped out to California under
the protection of a young New York
: driver by the name f Bennett Hill.
( This young Hill was til In Los Angeles
sand he was glad to have some older
f driver talcs the car .for' the big race
jjneet. . . ., ' -j" .- " '
iTKT-OUT AT BEVEBLT '
Cooper at first refused to consider
- the mount i but after much persuasion
on the part of Los Angeles race fans
and personal friends, he had a talk
with Hill and then took a look' at the
car. It was mors than agreeable with
"the owner, who was at that time in
the East, and Cooper finally went out
i to the Beverly course for a try-out
with the ancient Frontenac.
f When the racers came to San Fran
cisco for the Ban Carlos event. Hill
was not among those present. He had
no car- and .ha was looking for a job
in Los Angeles.
,- During the last week in March the
racing sport almost lost Bennett Hill
for all time. He was all set to go to
work for a tire company. He 'had
looked for a Job for weeks and had
'lived on borrowed money while he was
1 searching, for a place with some tire
'.concern where he could go out as a
salesman and forget the racing game.
' But the goddess of -Speed wanted Ben-
nett HU1 . and hs got a car. As soon
-as he was assured of a mount). he was
" back again, as anxious as ever to bat
tle with the champion and near cham
pions on the boards.
When HUi announced; that he was
to have a car-r-a Ml Her "motor -and a
real racing car It was a long way off.
He had to wait patiently while the car
was built up. for him and he opened up

backed away from the sad task or
sacred duty. Then, as If the mantle
of the departed speed king had fallen
on the shoulders of the youngster. Hill
Jumped to fame In a flash, at Fresno
last - .Saturday. He defeated Tommy
Milton, the toughest man in the sport
to beat. He ran away from Harry

Court Says Loving ;
Is Taboo on Boads
Of the Bear State
Los Angeles. Oct. 21. The ban now
has been placed on a fellow and his
girl "spooning" while automobile driv
ing along the country highway At
least Justice Channing Follette says
a young man can't drive his automo
bile with one hand and let the other
arm encircle the waist of an alluring
young woman.
According to the edict. Issued by
Justice Follette1 the i. girl, no matter
how beautiful or how. hard ehe pleads,
is to be brought to court- by the ar
resting officer to be fined for allow
ing her admirer's, attention ,.to be di
verted from the road.
The decision- against "spooning" on
the country highways by J usties Fol
lette followed -an extended investiga
tion of the offenses! most prevalent
among motorists on the. highways." The
report shows that many accidents are
caused by drivers who are o busily

-." ' i . ... .
The motor' public has been so thor
oughly "fed up" on do's and don't's
for their cars and equipment that the
conscientious manufacturer hesitates
before adding to the conglomeration
of promiscuous advice to be found in
every newspaper and xnagaslne pub
lished. . .:- -.
However, irdjn this mass, caa be
gleaned many valuable pieces of Infor
mation and it Is primarily true that
every message contains some informa
tion that can be utilised to a measured
extent. A three word message to mo
torists given by Fred Lehnhen Of
Lehnhen Rose, local distributors of
the Coast tire, which will solve the
sxtra tire, service problem in ' a prac
tical manner, is "Rotate your tires"
"You v would not expect a . pair of
boots, stored In a damp place and for
gotten until you are ready to use them,
to giveyou any degree, of satisfactory
service, but you unreasonably blame
your, extra tire clamped to your car,
subjected to all conditions of weather
and neglected until you have occa
sion to use it, for Us failure to stand
up under service," he said. "Why not
try changing your tires from wncel to
wheel? Use them all, . tha, extra tire
Included, at comparatively regular In
tervals, and see bow much better they
wear. It isn't a question of how to
rotate them, it is simply a matter of
giving them an equal share of the wear
and keeping them all In use. Further,
It isn't Impossible to praetice tire ro
tation and is certainly Is practical."

The satisfaction to be derived frorri the pperation of an
automobile is in direct proportion to its quality, the factU
ities provided for its maintenance and the care which it,
receives. Only when these elements are well balanced does
the purchase of a motor car become a good investment.
Lincoln owners know that Lincoln cars
in ordinary usage demand little attention
other than the replenishment of gaso
line oil and water. That is because the
service requirements of motor cars are
in inverse ratio to the quality and char'
acter built into them by ;the manu
facturers, i- ivf
Periodic inspection, proper lubrication
and minor adjustments, when necessary,
are essential to the proper and prolonged
functioning f any piece of nuchinery.
With quality as a prime factor, it is the
secret of economical and dependable
transportation.:
To insure the operation of Lincoln cars
a4 a source of uninterrupted satisfaction
and enjoyment, through the medium of
adequate and convenient service facili
ties, it is the purpose of the Ford Motor
Company that its entire dealer organi
zation be equipped to render efficient
and intelligent service to Lincoln owners. (
TTiousands of Ford Dealers in the United
States are being equipped with' specially "
' trained Lincoln men, competent to make "
'minor adjustments and of providing for
ordinary service requirements.
LLNCO
Under this arrangement, a Lincoln
owner, whether touring a continent or
crossing his own city,, may with confi-
dence enter a Ford Dealer's place of
. business and be assured of prompt, cour
teous and intelligent treatment by an
organization with a personal interest in
.. his welfare. " - i i
It is not intended or necessary, that all
Ford DealeraT-be equipped to do major
; repair work or overhauling oa Lincoln
cars. Adequate provision is made, how
, ever, whereby such work will be done
in each territory, when necessary, by
dealers who are especially equipped to
render high grade service in keeping with
the character of the product.
We believe that the Lincoln will run
farther and require less racchanical
. attention than any other car in the
world. It is significant and a matter of
utmost importance to prospective own
ers of quality cars that the incomparable. ,
world-wide facilities of the Ford Motor
Company should ake the ownership
of a Lincoln even, toore desirable than
ever before. . ' ; .

second airplane that was ever manu
factured in th United States, which
was the Qole flyer of 1911.
"The knbwledgs of construction and
operation of airplanes Is invaluable to
the manufacture of motor cars," Vogler
said. "The various changing condt
tions of atmosphere Is one of the most
severe tests possible for carburetion of
internal combustion motors. .. .
"One of the most Important things,'
in the construction of airplanes as com
pared with construction of motor cars
Is the construction of balance. The dis
placement of weight in a motor car is
one of the essential features in the
asy ridsng and long IlfS of a car. A
great many points can be learned con
cerning wind resistance In the onera-
xion oi an airplane."
Change About JLn
Locations Is Made
By; Motor Dealers
Three automotive firms came to au
agreement last week to shift locations
The Pacific Motor company and the
Durant Motor company of California,
who have i been occupying the same
building at Broadway and Flanders
streets, will move into the building at
15th and Washing; ton streets, now oc
cupied by the ' Oregon Motors, Inc.
The latter fiem will take the old stand
of the Durant distributors.
A lease on the 15th and Washington
street structure has ben held by the
Durant people for some time but was
not te be effective until January 1.
Growth of business, however, made it
necessary " to obtain larger quarters
and the agreement to shift was made
with the Oregon Motor. Inc.
ing use of automatic "slow ajid- -stop"
signals' is tending mora ana mors to
cause the automobile driver to neglect
tha use of tha hand signal and Is there
by Increasing the chances for collisions
on the highways, acording to A, A. A.
officials. ...
- It Is pointed out that snotor .vehicle
operators depending on these automatic
signals forget that such devices gen
erally do no sisnal an intention to
turn either to right or left and- conse
quently often result in slight collisions,
at least with resultant damage to fen
ders And body of the i car. Another
danger, it is pointed out, is brought
about-by the failure of .the automatic
signal to function at times thereby
leaving the driver in Ignorance, of the
fact that he Is slowing down without
giving , any warning whatever to the
motorist immediately in the rear. ,
"The hand signal after all. Is the
safest and most reliable," said M. O.
BldrMge. executive chairman of the
American Automobile association.
"Rules promulgated in tha proposed
uniform vehicle law as endorsed by the
motor vehicle conference commltee,
consisting of the A A. A., the National
Automobile Chamber of Commerce, the
National Automobile Dealers associa
tion and other organisations interested
in the automobile question, provide - a
almDle hand signal that is readily
understood by any automobile - driver
These signals are In effect In j Wash

cities and ace in efeot. with some
slight variations, in Almost every part
of. the '.country. - f.
