SCIENCE NEVER STOPS
A casing and a tubethese we believed were the ut
most development of the automobile tire. .
Then science evolved the Half -Sole Tire.
Each is important: the inner tube for the air, the
Casing to hold the pressure . and the Gates Half-Sole
'Tire to take all the wear of the road a perfect combina
tion. "
The net result is that you double your tire mileage and
cut the cost in two.
It will pay you to investigate.

Oversize Batteries
Are Now Possible
"The heavy gasoline now being us
ed has created a great many prob
" Elide" battery service station on
"Exifle" (bateiry service atation on
0011th Commercial street.
'One of these is that of prompt and
sure starting of the engine. A great
aid to a sure Start with heavy fuel is
a higher cranking speed, which can
be obtained by the installation of a
larger and more powerful battery.
"There has thus beon created a need
for what may be called an oversize
battery that it, a .battery containing
more plate surface than the battery
funnished with the car, yet which can
be installed ih the Tegular battery
compartment. The proposition is not
unlike putting an oversize tire on a
standard riim.
"Ia a caso of this kind the unusual
ly compact "Exide" construction is a
real boon to the car own or. It is a
well known fact that "Eifide" batter
ies, due to their space saving design,
contain for size more plate surface and
have therefore greater starting ability
than batteries of less conpact construc
tion. This makes it possible for us to
install, in the case of many cars, and
for owners who roeed an increased
cranking speed, an oversize "Exide"
battery that is, a battery containing
the same space occupied by the origin
al battery of other makes, makes a
sure start assured.
"While the oversize battery cannot
be fitted in all cars, the number in
which it can be done is great, and car
ownora who ere being Inconvenienced
by slow cranking and unreliable en
gine starting may find a remedy in an
oversize "Eride" battery."

wtwlAutosobile Business
Good In California
How would you like to tell a man to
stay out of your place of business be
cause he disturbed the routine -aud then
have him come in voluntarily and make
a 785 purchase from youl
That was the experience of Manager
Dalton Bolton of the Los Angeles retail
branch of the Chevrolet Motor Company
of California, who waves a 'Good Luck'
to Arthur Hinman and; his wife when
they left the southern icity last week
for a year's tour of the Baited States in
their 'W' Chevrolet. J
for many years Hiaman was a famil
iar figure alonz the Los' Angeles 'row.'
He was in and out of 4 the big shops,
a basket of sandwiches and candies on
lib arm, doing a brisk business with
mechanics and salesmen alike.
Naturally. Hiuuian could not get to all
patrons during the noon hour, when or'
dinary shop rules call for a cessation of
business, so in most cases n eauea
when the men were all back at their
routine work, and mora or less inter
ruption was in order.
Manager Bolton was among the vic
tims' and when cars promised Chevrolet
patrons at a certain hour were not ready
he was able to trace the reason to Hin
man and his tasty eatables. The Band
wich man was told in firm but gentle
language that he would have to confine
his business activities to suitable hours
or stay away from the Chevrolet
shops.
"I corns in here to look at your cars
more than to sell my goods," was Hia
man's reply. This looked like 'Camou
flage' to the Chevrolet dealer, and he
was more than surprised when Hinman
came into his office a few days later,
laid down a check, and declared he was
ready to take delivery of a Chevrolet
touring ear.
Hinman asserts hia mechanical edu
cation is founded on sandwiches. "I
visited every shop in town selling my
stuff," he says. "I had plenty of time
to listen to both mechanics and patrons
when they were1 speaking their real
minds. 1 kept track, and when I was
able to check up I knew definitely just
what car gave tho most satisfaction and
hee least grist Then I planked down
my money and am now off on a year's
jaunt with my wife." ,
Hiiiinan's sandwich vonture has en
abled him to make a real tour. In his
year's wanderings he and his wife will
visit Yoseniite, Yellowstone and Glacier
National l'arks, all the big cities of the
country, and other points of general in
terest. The eastern terminus of the
trip will be New York city, and on the
return to the coast the Grand Canyon
will be among the stops scheduled for
the Chevrolet.

R. D. Barton,
148S.Com'lSt. Phone 318
of the city and country of Los Angeles
have combined to drive glaring head
lights from the rondu ox tjonthern Cali
fornia. Police officials in the cities and
towns of Northern California are tak
ing like action, and before the 1st of
June the campaign will be in full swing
throughout the entire Pacific Coast.
As we pointed out in the editorial in
question, the approach of summer will
increase night travel between tho cities
and the beaches and other resorts to
such an extent that unless something is
done at once to remova the menace of
glaring headlights serious accidents will
be a nightly occurrence. Indeed, since
the advent of warmer weather the num
ber of accidents has been increasing
and the police decided to act at once.
It has been estimated that not more
than SO per cent of the more than 300,
000 cars now being operated on Califor
nia's roads have headlights which come
under the provisions of the law.
The authorities have permitted motor
ists to bend down their lamp brackets
in order that tho shafts of lights troin
the head lamps shall not rise above the
42-inch limit at a point 73 ftvst in front
of the car. But a comparatively small
proportion of the whole numbwof own
ers have even taken' this precaution.
The makeshift of bending down the
bracket with a heavy wrench, which
sonietinwos results in a broken bracket,
has the disadvantage of curtailing the
amount of light projected in front and
to the sides of the car, and thus an
unlooked-for element of danger p in
jected into night driving. -
Many cities and states all over tho
country haws conducted stringent tests
of the various makes of lenses that are
designed to diffuse or break up the pow
erful rays of light projected by the re
flectors, and It has been proven that the
majority of theso devices all of which
are quite reasonably priced, are so de
signed as to not only do away with the
dungerous glare, but at the same time to
adequately light the path of the car in
order that the driver may discern any
obstacle in tho roau mug rcrore ho
reaches it.
While it is manifestly impossible for
tho police to mention any particular
make or style of lens as being within
tho law, the (experience of the authori
ties of other states form a precedent
under which it will be safe for the mo
torists of California to use any one of
tho half dozen or more well-advertised
makes of lenses without danger of be
iuir arrested for infraction of the law.
la the interests of the common wel
fare, "Motor West" urges its readers
to comilv at once with the law require
ing the use of non-glaring headlights on
their cars, and thus rcdueo to a mini
mum the long lists of accidents which
will otherwise feature each morning's
news during the coming summer. Ver
