white and blue, always arouses the curiosity of those he passes, and a few statistics relative to the number of accidents on our highways. The card also contained an admonition to pedestrians to keep on the left-hand side of the road. These cards Mr. Hoag handed to all of those he passed between New York and San Francisco who were walking on the right side of the road a little effort towards the proper education of the public In the interest of safety first. The Ideal Section of' the Lincoln highway recently completed In Northern Indiana, provides a footpath for pedestriaps separated by several feet, from the concrete roadway and the association believes that as our highways develop it will become Increasingly the rule to provide such a nathway along our heavily traveled main roads.

Tremendous Increase In motor car buying during the past two weeks, with the promise that motor car buying will be on the steady increase from now on, brought forth a warning to motorists to "do your car ordering early" from Charles Howard, head of the big Western Buick distributing organization here. The demand for motor cars will show, no let-up for some time to come, Howard" stated yesterday. The Howard, company, foreseeing the great spring buying demand, has ordered the greatest number of Buick cars that have ever been sent to California for the spring business, and even while there is no immediate danger of a shortage in sight, it will for motorits and prospective buyers to bear in mind the fact that orders for cars The Lincoln HtgTiway association with headquarters in Detroit Is urging a national campaign to educate pedestrians to walk whori they must walk bn motor highways on the correct side, of the road which is not the right side but the left-hand side. 1 The heavy traffic on the Lincoln Highway last season as on all other main arteries of traffic resulted in the usual distressingly large number of deaths and! serious Injuries caused by pedestrians, few of whom carry tall lights, being struck by passing motor vehicles. The majority of (these accidents, say officials of thej Lincoln Highway association, result from the difficulty motorists- have In seeing an object without a light on the sideT-of "the road at night.

Ninety per cent of the accidents caused by collisions between motor cars and ppftpstrinnw would be -avoided If every open car and fifteen points for each closed car. "The sales con- test promises to be the greatest ever staged by the national Nash organization and has" created untold interest among our men here.

Howard President of the Hotoaird Automobile Company Calif ornians well know how premiums were gladly paid on Buicks in order to get immediate delivery during the shortages every Spring for the past four years. This year we are trying to avoid delay in delivery a condition which is caused by two things: 1. Popularity of the Buick line, and 2.

Prospective owners putting off Spring ordering until a date late in, the. year's heaviest buying season. We profited by the experience of the past and stocked an unusual number of cars, all models in both Four and Six Cylinder types. When this order was placed with the Buick factory at Flint, Michigan, months figured it would be sufficient to tide over bur already heavy business in the February, March and April months of intensive buying. But we underrated the powerful urge to buyers that such" events as the Pacific Automobile Show afid the general upward trend "-of prices on other makes would produce.

Consequently, February found our sales estimates. topped in all sections a ness before the spring Is ay. "The demand for automobiles this spring will certainly be great. The demand is beginning to be felt', right now. The factories are being peeded up to take care of this by! increasing production to a point higher than that- ever reached be-Jtgff 'In the history of the organization? yln spite of this big demand there la certain to be a shortagej PRICK CHANGES PREDICTED.

I "Price changes are liable to be' before many months. Material and labor costs are gradually rising throughout the Industry. Several well-known makers have already advanced the prices of their cars, but -by Increasing Nash output the factory has so far been able to hol4 prices at their present low level. "Word comes from practically: very source of the "mild winter" In the East and large sales of new ears, which means that the factory has been qnable to. pile up the usual surplus which tides over in the early months of the year, so that deliveries can be made.

There are few cars In storage now, and the demand exceeds thesupply." J' 2 i condition which called for cars being taken from stock. -However, our extremely large first order gave us a'fnargin to work with and now' we arc' making immediate deliveries on all Hnw nrin fRTnn models, even on the standard 5-passenger touring cars, listing at $1545 here, which are enjoying such widespread favor. How long this immediate delivery period will last is problematical, for March has already exceeded cur original estimate. So we are forced by a survey of the facts to ask you to help us change the old Spring story the usual recurrence of a Buick shortage and consequent premiums by placing youlsorder right now.
