This organisation is composed of manu facturers of starting, lighting, and ignition equipment. The stamlarization of starting1 motors constitutes the second step in the broad standardization pro gram of this ausociation, and is the initial step In standardisation of a set of elec tric generators, according to Automotive Iudustrles. . Chairman Joseph Bljur of the stan dardization committee wishes It to be expressely understood that these four starting motor specifications are tenta tive, as wore tho electric generator speci fications recently developed. The four starting motors art) Intended to serve tho entire passenger ;rnr fit-Id and truck engines of corresponding pis ton displacement. The suggested specifi cations are as brief us can be made and are intended to enable the buyer readily to select equipment by performance. Tlicse specifications are given along two lines: First, the stnlled torque, and second, the borne power nt a speed of 4(H) r. p. in., which is supposed to give the mi mi mum speed at which satisfac tory starting can be obtained in cold wo at Ji or .It is thought that if the starting motor meets those two TcquirciucntH it will fulfil nit other demands that can be .made upon It. It should not fie concluded that No. 1 starting motor of necessity goes with No. 1 generator, which comprises an electric inntnllntion on a gasolino engine, as the starting motors nre selected ac cording to tho torque requirements of tho gasolino engine. The so are governed largely hy piston displacement, wherciis the electric generators nre selected by the r. n. m. at which they deliver the required electric output. STANDARD TO BUILD Pittsburgh, la., Feb. 21. A new Htandard Motor Cnr company has been organized nfcider IMaware charter to tako over the Htandard Motor Car com pany of Pittsburgh, a Pennsylvania cor poration that has manufacturod ami sold Htandard right motor cars.

In addition to tho present elght-cylin der Standard tho company engineers are developing a substantial four-cylinder car that will be priced to Justify a broad ex tension of tho existing Htandard dis tributing organisation. 1 i Twentyflv years hence, the present nntnmohile will doubtless be a curiosity," says Charles W.

Wet more, a veteran eastern automobile editor of a uuarter of a century's exnerienco in writing about motor cars, wiio has come from New lork to reside in sun-set land and has established a Pacific coast motor nws bureau, says: "En route to my present home I de voted several weeks to a hasty sur vey of the conditiou of tho sport and industry on the Pacific coast through cells on automobile editors and distribu tors in Halt Lake city, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and Ixis Angeles. "VJhat most impressed mo was the marvelous resources of this region and the certainty of steady and wonderfully rnpd growth in population each year. Each state I visited seemed to iiave in itself wealth far outstriplng its pres ent population. Utah's miues and ranch es: Washington's shipping, apples and great 'Inland empire'; and Oregon's lum ber, fruits and farm lands were a rev elation to me. I could see that Califor nia did not depend on tourists since from its own soil it produces untold wraith In fruit, oils and ' minerals, to say nothing of its being a great gate way for trans-Pacific commerce. "In a word, I fully realized Jiow great an attraction was its climate and scenery to tourists and how boundless were lis resources and business opportunities to permnucnt settlors. "I could understand tne reason for the big investments 1 saw in spacious and niagnlficient motor cor merchandis ing establishments and why automobile manufacturers so generally have their ees on the big, growing and nll-tiio-ycar auto buying in this land of sunshine.

Land Purchased For Sacramento Track Chances look bright for Sachamcnto being added to California's racing corcuit this spring. The scheme, which lias been under way for over a year, is assured of realization by the announcement that 250 acres of lard on the California Traction company line, south of Colonial Acres, had been secured for the speedway and that it was expected that work would be gin in the immediate future.
