ONE AUTOMOBILE FOR EVERY FOUR PERSONS Orange County Challenges the World to Equal Its Record One person drives his automobile for every three persons who walk in Orange county, according to the figures in the report submitted by Charles J. Chenu, chief of the division of motor vehicles, state motor vehicle department. Orange county has 16,003 automobiles, says the report, and stands seventh among the California counties in number of automobiles owned, and also seventh in the amount of money contributed in license fees to the state. Orange county paid license fees amounting to $161,688.25, the statement says. In the state 571,712 autos, 32,216 trucks and 15,752 motorcycles were registered in the five months' period from February 1 to July 1, 1921. The report of apportionment of receipts from the state motor vehicle department, as submitted by Chenu, shows a large increase in fees collected by the department. The money received for the registration of motor vehicles is divided 45 per cent to the county from which the motor vehicle is registered, for the construction and maintenance of highways, 45 per cent to the state for repair and maintenance of highways, and 10 per cent to the motor vehicle department to cover its operating expenses. Any unused portion of this 10 per cent remaining in the state treasury after January 31 is again divided between the counties and the state. The 1921 report as issued by the chief of the division of motor vehicles indicates that the department has operated for the first six months of 1921 at an expense of less than 5 per cent on a volume of business amounting to $6,134,741.97. While the department receives 10 with a team, and a slight mishap at a remote point may prove to be serious. A leaky radiator and a dry canteen or a cracked spark plug may mean a tramp of many miles and suffering from thirst, or even worse. The need of mapping the desert road and marking the watering places has long been appreciated. Parts of the Mohave desert region have been mapped by the United States geological survey, department of the interior, and sign posts have been erected by the counties, automobile associations, and other agencies, but definite and precise information in regard to watering places has not been available for most of the region. In 1917-18, under an appropriation from congress, the United States geological survey, in cooperation with the department of engineering of the state of California surveyed the Mohave desert region, and recently the geological survey has issued water supply paper 490 B entitled "Routes to Desert Watering Places in the Mohave Desert Region, California," by David G. Thompson. The region covered by this guide book extends from the Sierra Nevada eastward to Colorado river and from the thirty-fourth to the thirty-sixth parallel. The guide thus covers the south end or Death valley. Valuable features of the guide are relief maps, which show the roads and watering places, and logs of the different routes. In addition, the report contains a brief sketch of the geography, geology, and physiography of the region, suggestions to desert travelers, and short descriptions of many of the watering places, including statements in regard to the quality of the water. Chemical analyses show that the water from many of the springs and wells, contrary to the usual notion, is not heavily impregnated with alkali. In fact, the water in several places was found to be as good as the water used for public supplies in some cities in the less arid states if not hotter.

While the department receives 10 per cent of all registration fees collected, many licenses are issued for which no fee whatever is paid. For instance, all cars owned by or operated exclusively for the United States, by city, county or state governments, or by public service corporations taxed under the corporation license tax law are exempt from the motor vehicle license fee. In addition to this the department has issued approximately 700,000 operators' licenses for which no fee has been collected. The law specifies that such registrations shall be granted without fee. The largest amount paid back to any one county went to Los Angeles county, $932,493.99. The smallest amount was paid to Alpine county, $298.63. TO MAKE DESERT SAFE Guide Book to Mohave Desert Region, Issued by Geological Survey The largest county in the United State is San Bernarino county, which contains more than 20,000 square miles. All of this county except a few hundred square miles is arid land, forming the greater part of the Mohave desert, which includes also adjoining parts of Los Angeles, Kern and Inyo counties. Most persons who are unacquainted with the desert believe it to be a barren waste, incapable of supporting life and without value—a barrier that separates fertile lands on either side of it. But to those who have become acquainted with it the desert is one of the most interesting regions of our country. Animals and plants are found there in considerable variety. The soil is generally good, and where water is available for irrigation it has produced crops in abundance. Several thousand acres in the Mohave desert region are already yielding good returns, and doubtless much more land can be cultivated. The most valuable products of the region, however, have been objectionable. JAPS TO HOLD ALL LOOT While the Japanese response to President Harding's invitation to take part in a general disarmament conference is a model of tact and courtesy, it lacks something of the sincerity of the replies made by the other governments to whom invitations were extended. As presaged by the Lo Angeles Times several weeks ago, Japan is willing to take part in a conference held for the purpose of limiting naval construction, but she accepts with reservation the invitation to negotiate treaties affecting the sovereignty of states in the Pacific area. Japan desires that there shall be no discussion of what she terms "accomplished facts," no reopening of issues that she considers already closed. The following paragraph in her note of acceptance is significant: "In order to secure the success of the conference the Japanese government deems it advisable that agenda thereof should be arranged in accordance with the main object of the discussions as above defined, and that introductions therein of problems such as are of sole concern to certain particular powers or such matters as may be regarded accomplished facts should be scrupulously avoided." That reference to "accomplished facts" divulges the policy that the Japanese commissioners are likely to pursue at the conference. The occupation of a large part of Siberia, of Shantung, and Yap are accomplished facts, like the practical suzertainty that Japaan exercises over the government of China. Japan's control of the cable and wireless service from China is already established and would not come within the problem to be discussed. In fact, Japan has so worded her acceptance that the various questions relating to the re-establishing of the "open-door" policy in the far east are various departments chandise prizes firms for specifying premium shortly, it is a Lynn H.

To the automobile But to those who have become acquainted with it the desert is one of the most interesting regions of our country. Animals and plants are found there in considerable variety. The soil is generally good, and where water is available for irrigation it has produced crops in abundance. Several thousand acres in the Mohave desert region are already yielding good returns, and doubtless much more land can be cultivated. The most valuable products of the region, however, have been obtained from its mineral deposits. The value of the mineral products shipped from this region during the last 25 years is about $50,000,000. In 1918 alone the value of the two principal mineral products (potash and tungsten) obtained from the desert portion of San Bernardino county was about $6,000,000. Throughout most of this desert region places whens water may be obtained are few and far between. In days gone by the desert prospector used burros or horses and wagons, and he was compelled to carry with him on his trips water for both man and beast. If a watering place was not found as he expected, or if the well or spring was dry, he and his animals might suffer great hardship or even perish. Today the prospector travels by automobile and distance is of much less importance. If he does not find water at a water hole, a trip of a few hours will usually bring him to another. Travel in the desert with an automobile, however, does not necessarily mean travel without danger. Many persons traverse the desert who are not familiar with the conditions to be encountered. On the transcontinental automobile routes across the desert the traveler is safe; but it is much easier to get long distances from known watering places with an automobile than parted; IT WAS A DREAM One night I dreamed the sun rose on A day that none could censure; A perfect day! No scandal and No coryphee's adventure; No railroad accidents occurred No murder was committed, No jury probed unwritten laws, No millicinales remitted. No rich man's wife took leave of him, No poor man's home got triplets, No profiteer's excuses came, No candidates told fliblets; "At last," I cried, "the perfect day; A journalistic hey-dey; But one thing could improve on it And that if it were payday." I donned my togs and went to work As is my daily caper; The edit' gruffly said: "Go home! Today there'll be no paper!" An automobilist and money are soon parted; ANAHEIM GAZETTE BIGGER AND BETTER THAN EVER This is the slogan of the committee which has in charge arrangements for the 1921 Orange county fair, to be held at Huntington Beach for four days, September 28, 29, 30 and October 1. The committee has given assurance that the fair will be bigger by engaging five large tents, with nearly double the exhibit space last year, and they are asking the hearty cooperation of every Orange county resident in making every department of this "$90,000-000 products show" better than ever before. Every farm center in the county has appointed a county fair committee, it is announced, whose business it is to direct their local participation in the fair, and some splendid community exhibits, fathered by the various centers, are assured. The competition for the cash prizes offered in this department has always been keen and this year will be no exception, for several of the center committees are already at work making their plans and gathering material for their displays. In addition to the $200 in cash prizes offered for the best five community displays, the Huntington Beach New has made an additional offer of $25, $15 and $10 for the first, second and third, which makes the total cash prizes for the community displays as follows: First, $125; second, $65; third, $35; fourth, $15; fifth, $10. This is in addition to cash and ribbon prizes offered in the various departments and many merchandise prizes offered by business firms for special displays. The complete premium list will be issued shortly, it is announced. Lynn H. Colburn is chairman and James F. Regan is secretary of the fair committee, and either they or the department chairman should be notified of prospective exhibits. The exhibit chairmen are as follows: Agriculture and Horticulture—Murray Horne of Yorba Linda the university recommends will be used and is practically completed at the present time. The birds will be kept in pens of one hundred birds each in order to make conditions as nearly like those found on the commercial poultry farm as possible. The contest will be limited to fifty entries of twelve birds each. Plans are also being made to carry on experimental work for the benefit of the poultrymen, four hundred birds being planned for this purpose. Application for entry should be made to G. E. Gordon, assistant farm advisor, 361 Court House, Los Angeles, and copies of rules and regulations covering the contest will be sent on request. RED CROSS NURSES WANTED The Red Cross nursing service is making an active campaign throughout the United States to secure 500 nurses immediately to care for service men in hospitals. Miss Lillian L. White, director of nursing service in the Pacific division of the American Red Cross, is calling for 75 enlistments in her territory—California, Nevada, Arizona and Utah. This urgent call for immediate enlistment of Red Cross nurses in this special service is parallel to that of the war-time call when the army and navy turned to the Red Cross for nurses for military service both at home and abroad. The call carries an emotional appeal when it is known that hospitalization of disabled veterans of the world war is increasing. The government through its United States public health service designates the need for more nurses as an emergency and the Red Cross is putting the full strength of its nursing service into action to meet it. Miss White has sent the call to nurses through the state and local nursing committees and to individual all who ever lived in Kansas are called to meet under the auspices of the Kansas association of southern California for the great picnic reunion, all day, Saturday, Sept. 10th, 1921, in Sycamore grove park, Los Angeles. Come a$_{5}$ early as you can and spend the day with friends. We will have county registers and headquarters so you can find the old neighbors even with ten thousand present. There will be a brief program, opening about two o'clock, but the main purpose will be to have a good time. We want to see all the tourists and visitors from the old home state as well as our resident Kansans from all sections of southern California. Bring your baskets well filled and share with friends. Coffee will be served free to all who buy the silk souvenir badges. Each one who learns of this picnic is asked to pas$_{5}$ the word along. Further information may be had of C. H. Parsons, secretary of the federation of state societies, Continental National bank, Main street at Ninth, Los Angeles. Phone 10261, where our great Kansa$_{5}$ register may be seen at any time.

NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION In the Superior Court of the County of Orange, State of California. In the Matter of the Estate of Robert Wilson, Deceased. No. 12550. Notice for Publication of Time of Proving Will, Etc. Notice is hereby given that Friday, the 16th day of September, 1921, at 10 o'clock a.m., of said day, at the court It is inevitable that any new tax proposed by congress should meet with strenuous opposition from the group of citizens directly affected. Nobody wants to pay any more taxes. There is need of careful discrimination, therefore, on the part of the law-makers and the public. Every protest has to be judged on its own merits, from the viewpoint of the general public as well as of the victims. The protest against the automobile license tax seem unusually well taken. It is argued that every automobile is already taxed three times—once in the hands of the manufacturer, the tax being passed on to the purchaser; once every year by the state, and once a with the license renewal, and once a year in the personal tax. The owner of the car pays all three of these taxes. Should he be obliged to pay a fourth, when no other kind of property seems to be taxed twice? Those who defend the tax do so mainly on the ground that people who use the roads should pay for them, and that the tax thus collected may be regarded as going into the good roads fund provided by the federal government to help out state highway construction. To this it is answered that the automobilists are already making various departments and many merchandise prizes offered by business firms for special displays. The complete premium list will be issued shortly, it is announced. Lynn H. Colburn is chairman and James F. Regan is secretary of the fair committee, and either they or the department chairman should be notified of prospective exhibits. The exhibit chairmen are as follows: Agriculture and Horticulture—Murray Horne, of Yorba Linda Poultry and Pet Stock—Hubert Howell, of Bolsa.

This contest will be operated under the direction of the poultry division of the University of California and the committee in charge is composed of some of the best poultrymen of southern California. Entries will be limited to southern California for the first year at least, and it is the desire of the committee that entries be secured from every county in southern California in order to make the contest a truly representative southern California contest. Entries will consist of twelve birds each of any recognized breed and records on the high ten hens in each entry will be counted. All birds will be trap nested for the entire year and will be returned to their owners at the end of the year with official trap-nest record. The shed-roof type of house which should be obliged to pay a fourth, when no other kind of property seems to be taxed twice? Those who defend the tax do so mainly on the ground that people who use the roads should pay for them, and that the tax thus collected may be regarded as going into the good roads fund provided by the federal government to help out state highway construction. To this it is answered that the automobilists are already making special tax contributions to public highways, and that if they are to pay more, it is only fair that the money raised in any state should go directly to its own highways. The situation is far better here than in most any place in the state, however," said Musselman, "and wages are about 25 per cent higher here than at a good many other places. There will be plenty of work here within two weeks." Musselman has seventy men under contract work, their weekly wages aggregating about $1800. Not only in ranch work have wages decreased. The two Holly Sugar companies at Dyer and at Huntington Beach both made wage slices this year of about 25 per cent besides going back to the old plan of three eight-hour periods. Many jobs that paid forty and forty-five cents an hour during the last campaign are now paying twenty-five cents an hour. Labor is available now when last year ranchers were practically unable to secure enough men to harvest the crops or when they did get a crew it was difficult to keep them on the job. Ranchers report it is different this year and their crews are willing to stay with them until the work is all over.
