Both Routes to Yosemite Good, Report Both of the routes out of to Yosemite Valley are In -excellent shape for motoring, according to a report brought back few days ago by the crew of the Star entry In the coming economy run to the valley. The car was drlvet over the official route by way of Madera, Raymond and Grub Gulch on the way up to the valley and returned by way of Coarse Gold and Lane's Bridge. The latter road Is the shorter by about ten miles and climbs more steadily with less dips, but ha more turns. While It shortens the distance somewhat to take the road through Grub Gulch It is not as easy to drive that road. To save time the shorter route is preferable, according to the report from the Star branch of Ls Angeles as there is less traffic1 than by way of Miami Lodge.

The Star crew also stated that they had received good reports on the road by way ot Merced and Miami Lodge. With, grass all over the hillsides, with the dogwood trees in bloom and the wild Ulao bushes spattering the bills with big masses of lavender, color the approach to Yosemite Valley rivals the beauty of a fine park with a magnitude that no private park could hope to equal. Road crews are rapidly smoothing out what little damage recent storms did to the roads and no trouble should be experienced by any motorists on account of road conditions.

It was pointed out by B. A.

Bo-well, Bales manager of the refined oils division, that the stagperlng total of miles traveled last year was attained largo-Jy as a result of the equable California climate making continuous motoring every month of the year possible. The fluctuations between the totals for the highest and tho lowest months last year ranged only fibout 3 per cent, Mr. Rowell stated, while the daily consumption of gasoline hovered around an average of 2.201.804 gallons. Point Barrow, and the many preliminary tripB, including the one on which he was lost, cut down his supply. Since Richfield had given him such satisfaction In preliminary tests, he was unwilling to use anything else for the big polar attempt hence his rush order for another carload." Dispatches from the North, transmitted via radio from Point Barroiv to Fairbanks, and thence by wire to Los Angeles, state that monoplane Alaskan will be used for the attempt to find the undiscovered continent believed to exist in the region of maximum inaccessibility, also known os the ice pole.

One of the bolts was equipped with the Alemlte hiRh-pressure system whiio the other was Just oilod in the ordinary way. Then they were set into motion and left there until they had each gone through 1.440,000 oscillations, or tho equal of about 10,000 miles of driving. "When the bolts were removed from the bearings the difference between the two was positively remarkable The Alemtte-equipped one ehowed absolutely no wear, while the other bolt was flattened, pitted and worn almost to the danger po'nt.

"This same thing happens day after day in automobiles. There are from twenty to sixty moving parts on every car where this oo-curs and will continue to occur until the owner learns that he may save a lot of money in repair bills by installing a proper lubricating system." MAYBE mS GUESS WASN'T FAR OFF Test Shows Value of Oil on Bearings Bushed by rail, boat and airplane to Point Barrow, most northerly point in the United States, where Capt. George Hubert Wlnkins shortly will take off on a transpolar flight to plant the Htars and Stripes on new lands amid the ice at the world top, another consignment of Blohfleld gasoline has Just been shipped from the big refinery near Long Beach. Announcement was made here yesterday by R. A.

Dutton, manager of the traffic department, Richfield OH Company, that an entire carload of gasoline in sealed tins forms the second shipment. It will go by Southern Pacific and Union Pacific to Seattle, thence by the steamer La Touche to Seward, Alaska, where it will be transferred by rail for Fairbanks, and then planed to Point Barrow. "Capt. Wllkins ran short of gasoline owing to the failure of the snow motors and the dog teams," explained Mr. Dutton.
