THE MOTOR HOQ Some motor truck owners have taken issue with the Automobile Club of Southern California in its charge that indifference to traffic rules and to "courtesy of the road" is characteristic of a large number of truck and delivery wagons drivers in Southern California. An open letter addressed to the newspapers setting forth the case on behalf of the motor trucks in particular has been issued in which it is stated that motor trucks are so mechanically constituted that it is impossible for them to violate the speed laws, aid pointing out that often baggage trucks must hurry to the depot to deliver trunks. Through Secretary Standish L. Mitchell the automobile club came forth with its final statement in regard to its desire for a sane observance of local traffic rules and general welfare. The case of the slow moving truck on the city streets and on rural roads is first considered. The club points out that such trucks, whether heavily laden or not, often "hog" the middle of the street or road, causing traffic to flow around them in such a way as to provide opportunity for some excellent and spectacular accidents. This practice is endulged in, say club officials, even when there is opportunity for the truck to keep well over to the right. "Truck drivers too often assume that because they are driving unwieldy vehicles that the roads are dedicated exclusively to their use, despite the fact that they are very far in the minority so far as the volume of traffic is concerned," the club points out. "No one in his right mind will bump into them, and no one in his right mind will fail to keep out of their way, even at the risk of colliding with a lighter and less dangerous vehicle." WEST POINT VACANCIES The commanding general, western department of the army, headquarters at San Francisco, has received the following from the adjutant general relative to the appointment of cadets to the West Point Military academy: 1. The regulations for the selection of enlisted men of the regular army for appointment to the United States Military academy in 1921 provides as follows: The candidates nominated for cadetships allotted to the enlisted men of the regular army shall not exceed three times the number of existing vacancies and shall be equitably distributed among the territorial departments by the war department. If the number of applications in any department exceed the share allotted to it by the war department, the candidates in such department will be chosen from the successful competitors in a preliminary examination, held between December 1 and December 15, such examination to be of a scope and nature similar to the regular examination for entrance to the United States Military academy. 2. While it is impracticable at the present time, to make the distribution prescribed, the number of candidates to be allotted to your department will be large enough to make the competition well worth the serious consideration of any ambitious young man who desires a military career. There has never been a time since the passage of the law authorizing appointments from the army when all the vacancies have been filled, and every candidate from that source who has qualified and who desired entrance to the academy has been admitted. Although the department cannot guarantee that this will be the case in the future, it is not believed probable that all the vacancies will be filled next year, so that any army candidate who qualifies may THOMAS Judge W.

"No one in his right mind will bump into them, and no one in his right mind will fail to keep out of their way, even at the risk of colliding with a lighter and less dangerous vehicle. The heavy truck is pretty safe, and the drivers know it only too well." "Speed" is not the only element of danger in handling motor-driven vehicles, says the club. There are other things which are really more dangerous, and from which more accidents may result. One of them is in failing to consider the rights of other people when on the street. This is one of the things in which truck drivers and delivery boys are particularly lax. In replying to the automobile club's suggestion that the operators of commercial wagons be curbed in their carnival of "I don't careness," truck representatives say that truck driving and delivery-wagon driving should not be even mentioned in the same breath. They hold no brief for the grinning-faced delivery boy, and they allege that truck drivers are paragons of politeness and consideration. "There is practically as much to be said against the truck driver who hogs the middle of the street at all times as there is against the delivery-wagon driver who ignores all right of way rules," stated Mitchell. "In fact, taking up the matter count by count, the deflections of each could be about equally divided. Where a delivery boy fails to consider public safety in one respect, a truck driver offends in another. However, it must be admitted that since there are more scurrying delivery wagons dashing around the streets, their offenses are more often noticed than the derelictions of the heavier trucks." San Francisco, thru city authorities and residents of peninsular cities, has come forth with some vitrolic remarks in regard to the reckless operation of auto busses on the roads leading from and into that city. It is urged there that the bushes strictly obey traffic laws. PART OF THE OMELET desires a military career. There has never been a time since the passage of the law authorizing appointments from the army when all the vacancies have been filled, and every candidate from that source who has qualified and who desired entrance to the academy has been admitted. Although the department cannot guarantee that this will be the case in the future, it is not believed probable that all the vacancies will be filled next year, so that any army candidate who qualifies may feel practically assured of admission. Information as to the number of candidates to be selected by you and definite instructions in connection with their examination will be furnished at an early date. 3. The enlisted men to be selected by you must, at the date of admission, July 1, 1921, be between 19 and 22 years of age and must have served at least one year in the army as enlisted men, with the following exception: During 1921 any applicant "who has served honorably and faithfully not less than one year in the armed forces of the United States or allied armies in the late war with Germany, and who possesses the other qualifications required by law, may be admitted between the ages of 17 and 24." Prior service in the army, either by draft or by voluntary enlistment, or in the national guard while it was in federal service, may be considered in determining an applicants eligibility. 4. In order that the men may be afforded ample time and opportunity for preparation, not only for the regular entrance examined in March, 1921, but also for the preliminary examination next December, you will at once advertise this matter thoroughly throughout your department. Officers should personally bring it to the attention of enlisted men under their command who appear to be eligible and suitable. It is desired that at least one West Point preparatory course be established within your department where applicants may be sent to study. An opportunity to apply for appointment will be given to all soldiers within the geographical limits of your department, who satisfy the above requirements, whether otherwise under jurisdiction or not. Inasmuch as the date of admission in 1921 will be July 1, a recruit who enlisted prior to July 1, 1920, may acquire the necessary service for admission next year. Furloughs not to exceed three months may be granted to advocate or man of wide experience to leave it to among the poorest.

Of that number 5.7 per cent were reported in need of repair and unit for service. It had been the custom of the roads to purchase 100,000 new cars each year to take the place of those used up in the service, but during the two years and two months of federal control the government did not exceed that number of additions to the rolling stock. Officials of the roads declare that today there are unvt for use and actually out of service 50,000 cars more than when federal control began, and thousands of other cars are kept running which ought to be sent to the shops. These are a few of the disheartening handicaps the road owners had to face when they received their properties back from the government. It is a fact, however, that in spite of adverse circumstances, the roads are moving more freight under private management this year than they did under federal operation at the same time last year. Given time to overcome the obstacles to efficient management that they inherited from the era of government control, the roads will give the people a transportation standard that could never have been approached had federal officials continued to misdirect their affairs. An opportunity to apply for appointment will be given to all soldiers within the geographical limits of your department, who satisfy the above requirements, whether otherwise under jurisdiction or not. Inasmuch as the date of admission in 1921 will be July 1, a recruit who enlisted prior to July 1, 1920, may acquire the necessary service for admission next year. Furloughs not to exceed three months may be granted to the successful competitors in the preliminary examination, upon application therefore, for the purpose of preparing for the regular entrance examination in March. 5. Enlisted men may submit educational certificates with a view to admission to the military academy without mental examination, but such certificates will be considered only in the event that all vacancies from the army are not filled by the regular entrance examination. When the number of candidates to be selected by you shall be determined, a supply of certificate forms will be sent you for their use if they desire to submit certificates. It is suggested that each successful competitor in the preliminary examination submit a certificate soon after selection if possible. In the past, all army candidates who have submitted satisfactory certificates have been admitted, due to the paucity of successful examiners. 6. Attention is invited to the closed pamphlet, which show the requirements for entrance to the military academy. A supply of these pamphlets will be sent to you under separate cover, for distribution to those interested. Beginning with the admission of the class entering the academy in 1920, the course of study will be four years, but the program of the four-year course has not yet ANAHEIM GAZETTE Authorized Publicity THOMAS OPENS CAMPAIGN Judge W. H. Thomas of Santa Ana, who is a candidate to succeed himself on the Apellate bench of the second district, has opened campaign headquarters at room 412 Copp building, Los Angeles, and from there he will wage an active campaign to secure his reelection. A campaign committee, headed by Mattison B. Jones, prominent Los Angeles attorney, is completing arrangements to launch this campaign within a few days, and Mrs. J. D. Taylor, former first vice president of the California Congress of Mothers, and at one time president of the Los Angeles Parent Teacher Federation, is in charge of headquarters. Already, without waiting for headquarters to open, endorsements have come pouring in to Judge Thomas. The San Diego Bar Association has made an endorsement, and 53 of the leading lawyers of that city are pledged to work actively on his behalf. Many of the most prominent members of the San Bernardino Bar have proffered their services in the campaign. Judge Thomas is basing his desire for reelection on the record he has made on the Appellate bench and, prior to that, on the Superior bench. He is widely known as a close student of social problems, has always been an advocate of woman suffrage, and a man of widely constructive thought, in addition to being regarded as a jurist of exceptional talent. In discussing his campaign Judge Thomas says: "If I have been fairly efficient in serving the public, I hope I shall be returned to my present office. I am leaving it to the spirit of fair play among the people of California." JAMAICA ORANGE OIL Authorized Publicity SINCLAIR MAKES HIS STATEMENT TO VOTERS The committee in charge of the campaign of B. W. Sinclair, San Diego business man who is a candidate for the Republican nomination for congress, makes the following statement to The Sun of that city: "With a straight out and out declaration of what he stands for and what he will work for if elected, the campaign of B. W. Sinclair, local business man and citrus grower, for the Republican nomination for representative in congress from the Eleventh Congressional district, is on in full blast. "Injecting into the campaign the full force of his personality, and the energy that has characterized his successful business career, Sinclair will wage an aggressive fight until the last ballot is cast in the primary. Headquarters will be opened at once at 1088 Fourth street. "In order to make his stand clear on questions which he believes are of pertinent interest to every man and woman in the several counties of the eleventh district, Sinclair today announced that he was pledged to the following: "(1) For a protective tariff that will insure for the citrus growers of this district a full measure of protection for this most important industry. The lemon growing industry particularly is suffering from the competition of lemons shipped into the United States from foreign countries under an insignificant duty, and Sinclair pledges himself to work incessantly to bring about such tariff legislation as is just and reasonable. He also favors a tariff covering walnuts, beans and sugar. (2) For enforcement of the Volstead act in its every feature. Sinclair, if elected, will oppose either the repeal or modification of this statute, believing that prohibition has proved its worth. (3) For legislation affecting Imperial Valley. The interests of the Imperial Valley and San Diego are identical, and from personal knowledge of the needs of the great agricultural district which is so closely linked to San Diego, Sinclair is determined to give it his undivided attention. If elected, one of the first duties of Sinclair will be to make a thorough survey of the Imperial Valley and from personal investigation ascertain the legislative needs of that section, so that he can intelligently work for the best inter-" likely to endorse him. Backed by the endorsement of the citrus growers' association of this section, and the Automobile Dealers' Association of San Diego, the campaign of B. W. Sinclair, prominent business man and citriculturist of San Diego, for the Republican nomination for congress, has been launched with a vim and determination that will have no let-up until the primary is over. Sinclair has practically completed his campaign staff, and with the machinery well oiled and working smoothly despite its newness, the task of canvassing the several counties of the 11th district will be tackled in earnest beginning Monday. Preliminary plans have been worked out for an aggressive campaign that will take the candidate into every community of the district. Sinclair has turned over his extensive business interests to those who have been associated with him for years, and he will thus be able to devote his entire attention to the campaign. Sinclair issued a statement of principles yesterday, as follows: 1. For a protective tariff that will insure for the citrus growers of this district a full measure of protection for this most important industry. The lemon growing industry particularly is suffering from the competition of lemons shipped into foreign countries under an insignificant duty, and Sinclair pledges himself to work incessantly to bring about such tariff legislation as is just and reasonable. A tariff also covering walnuts, beans and sugar will have the attention of Sinclair. 2. For enforcement of the Volstead act in its every feature. Sinclair, if elected, will oppose either the repeal or modification of this statute, believing that prohibition has proven its worth. 3. For legislation affecting Imperial Valley. The interests of the Imperial Valley and San Diego are identical, and from personal knowledge of the needs of the great agricultural district which is so closely linked to San Diego, Sinclair is determined to give it his undivided attention. If elected, one of the first duties of Sinclair will be to make a thorough survey of the Imperial Valley and from personal investigation ascertain the legislative needs of that section, so that he can intelligently work for the best inter- JAMAICA ORANGE OIL The oil of orange industry began to assume importance in Jamaica from 1908 onward after the industry had been temporarily ruined by the earthquake in Sicily, previously the largest producer of essence of citron and orange. To extract the oil of oranges in Jamaica is shallow copper vessel is used, which is tinned on the inside and furnished with one inch copper nails fixed perpendicularly to the surface of the vessel. At the bottom of the vessel is a hollow in which the oil is collected. The vessel is held between the knees and an orange is rolled on the points, pressing slightly with the open hand; the points rupture the oil cells and the oil flows down into the hollow. The oil is afterwards filtered through a cloth. As the oil obtained in this way often contains a little orange juice and mucilage, it is allowed to stand, then decanted off and filtered. Attempts have been made to devise a mechanical process of extraction, out without success. The method described above requires much care and practice, as the oil cells only should be broken and the points should not penetrate into the orange. The orages should not be completely ripe or the oil will be too dark colored. The oranges should be gathered and treated in the early morning, as the yield decreases when the fruit is gathered during the hot part of the day. BRIDES NOT EXEMPT While there is no provision in the school law to prevent girls under the age of sixteen accepting proposals or contracting marriage, the marriage itself does not offer sufficient excuse in such cases to keep the young brides away from full time classes at school. This is according to a ruling by Will C. Wood, state superintendent of public instruction, in answer to a query raised several times during the last few months. "We have gone into this question thoroughly," Wood stated in explanation of the matter, "and while there advocate of woman suffrage, and a man of widely constructive thought, in addition to being regarded as a jurist of exceptional talent.

JAMAICA ORANGE OIL The interests of the Imperial Valley and San Diego are identical, and from personal knowledge of the needs of the great agricultural district which is so closely linked to San Diego, Sinclair is determined to give it his closest attention. If elected, one of his first duties will be to make a thorough survey of the Imperial Valley, and from personal investigation ascertain the legislative needs of that section, so that he can intelligently work for the best interests of his constituents there. Orange county: In addition to tariff legislation pertinent to the citrus growers of Orange county, Sinclair pledges himself to work for the development of Newport harbor as a port for coastwise shipping. Development of Newport harbor would give Orange county its own port of entry and would be a big factor in promoting the growth, and agricultural and industrial future, of Orange county. San Diego: The extensive program of the federal government in San Diego is one of the most vital factors in the future growth of the city and vicinity, and to the continuation and expansion of this elaborate program Sinclair will devote painstaking attention. With the united support of the citrus interests of San Diego county, and the assurances of support which have come to him from all parts of the eleventh district, the local candidate for the nomination enters the campaign with confidence that he will be victorious at the primary. In order to devote every minute of his time to the campaign, Sinclair has turned over his extensive business interests to others, all of whom are thorough business men and have been connected with him for years. Friends of Sinclair, who are flocking to his assistance in most gratifying numbers, point to his successful career and declare that his experience in the business world, as well as his intimate knowledge of conditions in the district which he seeks to represent, make him eminently fitted for the lower house of congress. With an emphatic endorsement of B. W. Sinclair for congress, the Automobile Dealers' Association of San Diego is the latest organization to get solidly behind the local business man in his campaign for the Republican nomination at the coming primary. "A business man for congress," is the gist of a resolution adopted by the Automobile Dealers' Association.

"A business man for congress," is the gist of a resolution adopted by the Automobile Dealers' Association. The resolution recognizes the ability of Sinclair, declares he is well fitted for the office to which he aspires, and urges the voters of the Eleventh district to support the candidate at the primary and the general election. The resolution follows: "Whereas, The demand is growing throughout the country for safe and sane business methods in governmental departments as well as in private enterprises, and the need is great for sound, constructive leadership in the present period of readjustment; and Whereas, It is the duty of every forward-thinking man and woman to support by the ballots those candidates for public office who measure up to the standards of the office they seek; therefore be it Resolved, That Mr. B. W. Sinclair of San Diego, Calif., candidate for the Republican nomination for congress from the Eleventh congressional district, is, in our opinion, eminently fitted for the duties of that high office by reason of long and successful business experience, and knowledge of the needs of this district, and we earnestly urge every voter to support Mr. Sinclair at the primary and work for his election. THE AUTOMOBILE DEALERS' ASSOCIATION OF SAN DIEGO, JOHN F. M'NIGHT, President." Following close upon the unanimous endorsements tendered Sinclair by the citrus interests of this section, the action of the Automobile Dealers' Association is regarded by Sinclair's supporters as reflecting the sentiments of business men generally. They pointed out that the membership of the association, through close contact with Sinclair, himself an automobile man, has an intimate knowledge of the business qualifications of the candidate, and consequently feel it is a duty pub- BUCKS ARE RIPE Opening of the first hunting season of 1920 was announced by the fish and game commission for Sunday, August 1, when bucks of the specified "forked-horn or better" size again became lawful game in the up-coastal counties of Ventura, Santa Barbara and beyond, to and including Mendocino, with the western ridges of San Joaquin valley thrown in for good measure. The deer season for Orange county, and the other southern counties that lie in district No. 4, will not open until August 15. It will remain open for one month. The fact that throughout last open season hardly half a dozen bucks were killed in the coast slopes of the Santa Ana mountains may cut down the number of hunters who will be out this year. There is no reason to believe, so far as reports are obtainable, that deer hunting is going to be any better in Orange county this season that it was last season. A good many local hunters are therefore turning their eyes toward other mountains. It will take more gas to get to the happy hunting ground, but the chances for getting a buck are increased. Those who wanted to take a big hunt up-coast started Sunday, while hunting in the No. 4 counties cannot start until two weeks later. Those who opened the season up the coast may still avail themselves of the affidavit provision in bringing their bucks back under properly-executed and attached certificates before judges, notaries, deputies or forest rangers, so will do well to locate a qualified officer before locating their camps.
