Ohio has been found to be unconstitutional and upon this ground the majority of automobile owners are protesting. It is only an attempt, according to Miss Geary, to provide a law which will act for the greatest good and will work a hardship upon the fewest. Since automobile club members represent the most responsible motor contingent of the state, their decision will be looked to as a representative one. That no opposition should be made to the license tax in the new motor vehicle act because the money to be derived from the licenses will be diverted to the maintenance of the highway system has been answered by Secretary Geary. “As the roads are built at the present time, of concrete, no funds for maintenance will be needed for perhaps two or three years, and in that time I am sure that an adequate and legal provision will be made.” Northern opposition has been sug- SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CLUB WILL MAKE TEST OF RECENTLY ENACTED LEGISLATION EXCESSIVE TAXATION ONE OF THE FEATURES CAUSING THEM TO TAKE ACTION Protests from Southern California motorists may move the Automobile Club of Southern California to definite action in regard to the motor vehicle law which will go into effect on January 1st. This would be the most significant step taken by the powerful organization recently, and upon the final decision of its members will rest the test of the law which has caused widespread discussion and animus. Replies pouring into the club headquarters from members in answer to a circular letter sent out recently by Secretary S. C. Geary for the purpose of ascertaining the general attitude of the members indicate that strenuous opposition will of necessity develop. Whether or not the law will become effective on the first of the year or not depends upon the outcome of the test made by the Automobile Club of Southern California, since that organization represents the majority of the motorists of the state, and it is toward the club that the majority of automobile owners are looking for a champion. “Hundreds of protests and inquiries at our headquarters have finally caused us to take action,” said Miss Geary yesterday, “and we realize that to delay longer would be fatal. Motorists want to know if they should stand for an excessive license fee as well as for a county tax, and we must answer them, for if the club is not in a position to give satisfaction, then there is no other recourse in the state. “We are waiting entirely upon the decision of our members, and from the appearance of the replies we are receiving there is every indication that our legal department will be swung into action.” A similar law which was passed in hand. That no opposition should be made to the license tax in the new motor vehicle act because the money to be derived from the licenses will be diverted to the maintenance of the highway system has been answered by Secretary Geary. “As the roads are built at the present time, of concrete, no funds for maintenance will be needed for perhaps two or three years, and in that time I am sure that an adequate and legal provision will be made.” Northern opposition has been suggested but no definite action taken, and it will devolve upon the automobile club of Southern California to determine the stand of the majority of California motorists. “No steps can be taken until the law becomes effective with the coming of the new year, but we will be ready and waiting for that time as a result of thus early learning the opinion of the automobile owners, those who will have to pay the license which they claim is excessive,” continued Miss Geary. “Should the majority call upon us to refrain from taking action, our policy under those circumstances will be determined by the directors at a later date, but, from present appearances some move will be made by the club. “Until then we are advising all members to take no personal action until the first of the year, when we may have something new to give out.” A German paper contains an advertisement asking for matrimonial correspondence on the part of a “young woman of ancient lineage, beautiful as Helen, prudent as Penelope, witty as Madame de Stael and devoted as Florence Nightingale.” Wonder if there are many more at home like her?

Where can I go after attending my convention and visiting the exposition, and what will it cost? What will a week in San Francisco cost? Can I afford the trip?” The answer to each query is complete and inclusive and the answering compiles a comprehensive description of the exposition, as well as a schedule of the scenic, commercial, agricultural, industrial, artistic and financial assets of the state, which will be thronged with visitors in 1915 if a tithe of the enthusiastic inquirers from abroad make the journey to the exposition city.

EXPOSITION FACT BOOK RECENTLY ISSUED GIVES FULL INFORMATION THOUSANDS OF INQUIRIES COMING IN FROM ALL SECTIONS OF COUNTRY San Francisco, Nov. 29.—With 177 organizations, national and international already agreed, even at this early date, to hold their 1915 conventions in San Francisco an influx of visitors is assured the like of which has never assembled before in the history of expositions. To name but two of the organizations, the National Teachers’ Association and the International Engineering Congress, means the presence of more than 100,000 persons. And the exposition is in communication with scores of other organizations, fraternal, commercial, financial and social, which contemplate coming in bodies during its nine months' life. To the vast majority of this throng, California will be a new country. Proportionately few will have ever visited this country on the western rim of the American continent, and for the entertainment and enlightenment of such, state tours are being arranged by the various transportation companies, "side trips" to the scattered sections of the state where lie the wonders that make California unique in the world. From Shasta on the north to San Diego on the south, the visitor will be given opportunity at reduced rates to travel sightseeing. The river boat transportation companies are arranging for the accommodation of thousands who will wish to see with their own eyes the fertile valley that spreads its green and productive length from the north to the south of this commonwealth. At exposition headquarters a large force of busy clerks struggled to keep abreast of the correspondence that pours in asking for information about California—desirable places to go and the costs thereof. But the letters have piled up in spite of the efforts to supply individual information, so a booklet has been issued and the first edition of 100,000 is ready for distribution. It is called "The Exposition Fact Book" and it covers such remote queries as the cost in San Francisco baggage transportation and the price of a salad. The "Fact Book" has been prepared under the direction of Professor James A. Barr, manager of the Bureau of Conventions and Societies of the exposition. President Charles C. Moore and Secretary Rudolph J. Taussig have extended a foreword of welcome. compiles a comprehensive description of the exposition, as well as a schedule of the scenic, commercial, agricultural, industrial, artistic and financial assets of the state, which will be stronged with visitors in 1915 if a tithe of the enthusiastic inquirers from abroad make the journey to the exposition city. It is, however, to the subject of "side trips" that the "Exposition's Fact Book" devotes the most space; for the nature of the inquiries that deluged the Information Bureau made the fact evident that the eyes of the world were directed on the state as a whole as well as on the great exposition, and that comparatively few of the visitors would be content with no more acquaintance with the commonwealth than could be achieved from the car window or the deck of a steamer plying our picturesque coast. Circles of travel were made, radiating from the exposition city as a center, and their diverging lines embrace every point in the state, with data on routes and expenses. "The Near San Francisco" tells the innumerable trips consuming but a day or two, and involving practically no extra expense. Oakland, Alameda, Berkeley, Mare Island, Tamalpals, Muir Woods, Mill Valley, the University of California and Stanford, are some of the places listed. "The Great Central Valley" tells of the means to visit whether by rail or river boat, the noble domain between the Sierra Nevada mountains on the east, the Coast Range on the west, and extending from the Tehachapi mountains in the south to Mt. Shasta's peak in the north. "Trips by River" is an enticing section of the booklet, informing and inspiring the prospective visitor. Every means of transportation is mentioned fairly and effectively. "Among the Redwoods" is a section of the "Book of Facts" that will fire the imagination of the tourist and make him desire fuller acquaintance with the groves of mammoth trees that are found in no land under the sun, save in California. "Calvaras Big Trees" is discussed and the land first made famous in literature by Bret Harte and Mark Twain will be invaded by a host such as has not been equalled in numbers even when the nations were sending their adventurous gold seekers to find the "desire of the world." "Shasta Resorts" are discussed, and as elsewhere the cost of hotel accommodations and trip is given with data of interest to disciples of Nimrod and Walton.

It is called "The Exposition Fact Book" and it covers such remote queries as the cost in San Francisco baggage transportation and the price of a salad. The "Fact Book" has been prepared under the direction of Professor James A. Barr, manager of the Bureau of Conventions and Societies of the exposition. President Charles C. Moore and Secretary Rudolph J. Taussig have extended a foreword of welcome. The state has been gone over with sympathetic appreciation for the wonders of every section of its long and wide domain, and trips have been scheduled with the cost, including every necessary incidental expense. Side jaunts to Yosemite, Mariposa Big Trees, Santa Cruz Big Trees, Tamalpais, Muir Woods, Tahoe, Donner Lake, Shasta, and the wonderful southland, home of the orange and the goal of many tourists. These and scores of other attractive trips with their costs are listed with utter impartiality so that the visitor may take his choice, and whether he comes from Tampa, Florida, Timbuccoo, Odessa or Peking, he can calculate almost to the cent what his vacation will cost before starting on his pilgrimage to the exposition to take part in the international celebration of the completion of the Panama Canal. The comprehensive nature of the "Exposition Fact Book" is disclosed in the index of questions which it is the scheme of the little volume to answer fully: “What are the advantages of holding our 1915 convention in San Francisco?” Calvaras Big Trees is discussed and the land first made famous in literature by Bret Harte and Mark Twain will be invaded by a host such as has not been equalled in numbers even when the nations were sending their adventurous gold seekers to find the “desire of the world.” “Shasta Resorts” are discussed, and as elsewhere the cost of hotel accommodations and trip is given with data of interest to disciples of Nimrod and Walton. “Lake Tahoe” appeals in an extensive paragraph to the lover of grandeur and mountain scenery. The trip, including a ride around the lake on the beautiful steamer “Tahoe” is discussed fully, informing the reader in all matters of expenses. “Yosemite Valley” is a section in the booklet that will help to answer tens of thousand inquiries, who if they have heard of nothing else in California save its gold and its sunshine, have heard about this great natural park. “The Canyons” deals with the Sequoia National Park east of Visalia, and the neighboring canyons of Kings and Kern rivers. “Coast Resorts” informs the tourist of the advantages of a visit to Santa Cruz, Monterey, Del Monte, Pacific Grove, Paso Robles Hot Springs, El Pizmo Beach, Carmel, Mount Hamilton, and many other places desirable to reach and unpleasant to leave. “Santa Cruz Big Trees,” “The Santa Clara Valley,” “Santa Barbara,” “Los Angeles,” and “Southern California,” are other places in the brochure where the eye will rest and the desire to visit be inspired, while longer journeys to secretary and manager of the San Antonio Fruit Exchange, declares a grower can pick his fruit whenever he pleases, so long as he labels it properly. In other words, oranges that are picked before they are ripe and colored afterward must not be shipped under standard brands. If this is done the grower will lay himself liable to Government prosecution. Florida has a new law which states that only oranges which have reached a certain stage of ripeness shall be shipped from that state. This standard of ripeness is determined by the percentage of sugar as compared with acids in the fruit. The Government now has experts at work in this state attempting to fix a standard by which the growers may gauge their picking. LARGEST NOVEL The largest novel in the world has just been finished by a Japanese writer, Kiong Te Bakin. It was commenced in 1852, and the author found a publisher willing to publish the novel in volumes, as the writer finished them, the last volume being turned over to the publisher this year. There are no fewer than 106 volumes all told, each containing 1,000 pages, and each page has about thirty lines, each containing an average of ten words, so that the work consists of 106 volumes 106,000 pages, 3,180,000 lines, and 38,100,000 words, and it weighs about 130 pounds. So far it has not been suggested that this work should be translated and published in English.

EXPERTS EVOLVE IRRIGATION RULES Exact Quantity of Water and Time to Use It-Determined Men employed in the department of engineering of the University of California, who have been co-operating with the office of experiment stations of the United States department of agriculture, believe they have determined to a nicety the quantity of water required for various crops. The experiments have covered several years. The results show at what stage of growth alfalfa should be irrigated, when irrigation of barley should pay, how Indian and Egyptian corn respond to the use of water and the effect of irrigation on wheat and oats in rotation with alfalfa. In experiments with small grains there was not one instance where the increase due to irrigation did not more than pay for the cost of the water that produced it, the yield increasing with the increased amount of water supplied. With sugar beets in general the sugar percentage decreased with the increased amount of water, although in every case this decrease was overbalanced by the increase in yield. There is a limit beyond which the increase in yield will not pay for increased cost of supplying water, the experimenters say. For such conditions as are found on the university farm this limit is in the neighborhood of 30 inches for the season. Bob McAulay, who is a student at the O. S. C. in Los Angeles, was elected to represent the college at the National Student Volunteer convention in Kansas City two weeks hence.
