NEW AUTO LAWS SOON IN OPERATION Revised Motor Vehicle Act to Go Into Effect in Few Weeks. Only a few days more than a month remain before the provisions of the new motor vehicle act go into effect, governing the operation of motor cars in California. Motorists should make every effort to acquaint themselves with such provisions as mean a radical change over the law which governed motoring last year. As an instance of some of the things all should learn before September 1, when the act becomes effective, is the fact that the new act provides that hand signals indicating a turn can be given only from the left-hand side of the car in the future. If motorists are operating a car which has the steering wheel on the right-hand side, it is probable that some provision will have to be made for adequate signaling from the left-hand side. But it is pointed out that the majority of cars now-a-days are left-hand drives. It is indicated that under the new motor vehicle act more rigid enforcement of the correct hand signals will be noticed. Another most important provision is that in which it is pointed out that all vehicles must keep on the right-hand side of the road while traveling—and in addition to this, they must keep on the right-hand side of the road. Previously it has been the rule that slow-moving vehicles must keep to the right of the right-hand side, but under the ne wact, every vehicle, either slow or fast, must—whenever practicable—keep well over toward the right. This is excepting, of course, when it is necessary to pass another vehicle, all in November.” If there is anybody who thinks there is too much money being spent for improvements and maintenance in the various county departments, including schools, now is the time to take the matter up with the supervisors. COST OF HIGHWAYS IN ORANGE COUNTY Large Sum Spent in Improvements During Last Year A road campaign, designed to put Orange county’s roads in condition to bear the tremendous traffic over them, cost the county, during the past fiscal year, $273,000. “This was for widening and adding thickness to the good roads system already in existence,” J. L. McBride, county superintendent of roads, said. When asked what the financial demand for the road department would be for next year, McBride stated he was unable to determine that at this time. “I am working on the estimates now,” he said. “These will be submitted to the board of supervisors later in the summer. “The big campaign of repair and reconstruction undertaken by the county engineer’s office virtually is completed,” said McBride, indicating that the roads which bear the heaviest traffic in the county are newly reconstructed. The roads which cause the engineers most worry are the Westminster and Huntington Beach boulevards, and Lincoln avenue, out of Anaheim, it was said. “Wherever the oil fields’ supply trucks travel we have trouble,” McBride added. “I believe the destruction of the highways is much less than it was two years ago. With the enforcement of the public,” said May chairman of arrangement American flag in the one is suggested. No person will be allowed president on his way as he will be resting.

SOME FAIR Felipe Lemmon, w fore Superior Judge for a charge of failure to minor children, had q vehicles must keep on the right-hand side of the road while travelling—and in addition to this, they must keep on the right-hand side of the road. Previously it has been the rule that slow-moving vehicles must keep to the right of the right-hand side, but under the ne wact, every vehicle, either slow or fast, must—whenever practicable—keep well over toward the right. This is excepting, of course, when it is necessary to pass another vehicle, or to turn out for some obstruction. It is very possible, and even probable that a number of arrests will take place under the new law, of the "hog-gish" type of motorist, who proceeds down the middle of the street or road and will not move over to the right to allow other vehicles to pass. This will have a very good effect in the mountains, where it is necessary to pass, but where many bull-headed motorists refuse to move over and let the more rapid machine go by. ROAR NOW OR NOT AT ALL Just now the board of supervisors is making its calculations for next year's expenditures. It has before it, or in mind, many specific demands for county projects that cost money. It has school budgets and school tax levies to consider. Road repairs, new pavements, new bridges, departmental expansions, furniture for the new hall of records—these are but a few of the many items that are up for consideration at this time. The outstanding feature of their considerations is that from every direction come demands for expenditures, and from nowhere is heard a voice with a feasible suggestion as to how or what to cut. This is the time of year when the taxpayer is asking for things he wants—and he wants a lot. The taxpayer will be heard from again at taxpaying time. Instead of an entreaty, at that time he will be presenting a large-sized roar. "Look at my taxes!" he will shout with indignation. "What in thunder do the supervisors do with all the money they get out of the taxpayers? It's a shame how extra taxes are climbing up." At that time he will not stop to analyze his tax bill. He won't figure out that from the grand total he pays, there is a certain proportion that goes to schools (and it is the biggest item on the bill), other proportions to handed indebtedness to roads, to the HARDING'S ITINERARY Into the home of co-operative marketing in southern California, after a series of speeches in the middle west in which he urges this form of handling foodstuffs as a remedy for the wide discrepancy of prices between producer and consumer, President Warren G. Harding will arrive on Thursday, August 2, and will be taken through the citrus and walnut belts as a part of his itinerary in this part of the state. Full arrangements have been made by Ralph Arnold, chairman of the Republican county central committee. The president's most recent statement on economics in America has a more than passing significance to southern California, as it was through repeated conferences with the late G. Harold Powell, of the California Fruit Growers' exchange, that President Harding became convinced of the need for a closer contact for the producer and consumer. Not more than a month before General Manager Powell's death he was requested by the president to come to Washington, and it was at that time that the president's views on co-operative marketing were crystallized. He has come to be a firm believer in this system, and is making allusions to it in nearly every speech on his tour. The president will arrive in Los Angeles on August 2 in the morning, and will be domiciled at the Ambassador, Present plans for his entertainment include monster pageant in Los Angeles reviewing the various episodes in the progress of California; the massing of 80,000 school children in the coliseum at Exposition park when the president fic in the county are newly reconstructed. The roads which cause the engineers most worry are the Westminster and Huntington Beach boulevards, and Lincoln avenue, out of Anaheim, it was said. "Wherever the oil fields' supply trucks travel we have trouble," McBride added. "I believe the destruction of the highways is much less than it was two years ago. With the enforcement of the weight ordinance in this county, roads have suffered correspondingly less." McBride remarked that there is hardly a day that someone from outside the county does not come into the office and comment upon the excellence of Orange county's roads. THE THIRTEEN Hoodoo number 137 tal crash Sunday at Santa Ana automobile became known at the remains of Frank Lo Huntington Beach. Juries received when dashed from the court of spectators.

"What in thunder do the supervisors do with all the money they get out of the taxpayers? It's a shame how extra taxes are climbing up." At that time he will not stop to analyze his tax bill. He won't figure out that from the grand total he pays, there is a certain proportion that goes to schools (and it is the biggest item on the bill), other proportions to bonded indebtedness, to roads, to the county hospital, to the county park, to the health department and to a score other departments, deemed by the taxpayers as absolutely essential to their comfort, pleasure, safety and general welfare. All he will see will be the size of the pile from which he will have to separate himself. And he will road! Not that we intend to say that every taxpayer will roar. Far from it. Sometimes a few who make a lot of noise about a thing give the impression that the noise emanates from a large crowd. Instead of intimating that any considerable proportion of the taxpayers will make much of a protest, we wish it understood that we believe the taxpayers of Orange county in general believe that they get good value for every dollar that is paid in taxes. Taking the conditions by and large, and in detail year in and year out, we doubt if there is a county in the state that can show a better return for money spent than can Orange county, year in and year out. But just now, we would like a word with the roars, and what we have to say may be expressed by the subverted use of a combination of words with which most of us are more or less familiar. Instead of saying, "Speak now or forever hold your peace," we would say, "Roar now, or roar not at crystallized. He has come to be a firm believer in this system, and is making allusions to it in nearly every speech on his tour. The president will arrive in Los Angeles on August 2 in the morning, and will be domiciled at the Ambassador. Present plans for his entertainment include monster pageant in Los Angeles reviewing the various episodes in the progress of California; the massing of 80,000 school children in the coliseum at Exposition park when the president will dedicate the stadium. The governor will join the presidential party at Yosemite and proceed south with him. The presidential party arrives at 9:30 at the Arcade station, where he will be met by a committee, and escorted to Washington and Figueroa streets, where the pageant forms. The line of march to his hotel will be the opportunity for the witnessing of this allegorical history of southern California progress. At two o'clock he will visit Sawtelle hospital, when Mrs. Harding will present a pink carnation to every disabled veteran. At 3:45 he will plant a tree at Hollywood, as arranged by the D. A. R. At four o'clock he will participate in a Masonic ceremony at the Hollywood bowl. At eight o'clock the chief executive will be presented to his southern California audience at the coliseum. Exposition park, when he will be introduced by Governor Richardson. On Friday, August 3, he will visit motion picture studios from 9:30 to 11, when he will leave for a trip through southern California towns. At 11:30 he will be in Glendale, at 12 at Pasadena, after which he will pass through the cities of South Pasadena, Alhambra, San Gabriel, Montebello and other towns en route to Long Beach. "The coliseum will be open free to the public," said Mayor Cryer, general chairman of arrangements. "A small American flag in the hands of everyone is suggested. No reserved seats are to be had except for the G. A. R. No person will be allowed to meet the president on his way down the coast as he will be resting." All of southern California is invited to Los Angeles on these dates. BARES TORMENT OF PEON CAMP IN SUIT A sordid picture of a white woman and her two young daughters living in Mexican camps, amid squalid surroundings; the mother compelled to take in washings for support of the family, only to be repaid with abuse and cruelty, was drawn by Mrs. Sarah Ann Gordy, who field suit in the superior court asking divorce from William Alfred Gordy, whom she charges with technical desertion, although she admits that she left him. Mrs. Gordy was the woman subjected to such a life, she alleges in her complaint. She charges that her husband was a habitual drinker and that he often cursed and beat her; once using a chain with such violence, she alleges, as to leave permanent scars upon her head and face. This alleged treatment forced her to leave her husband, she states. Custody of her two daughters, aged 13 and 11, were asked by Mrs. Gordy. The Gordys were married at Hope, N.M., February 28, 1909, and separated, it was said, April 15, 1922. The plaintiff is represented in her suit by Attorneys Head, Rutan and Scovel, of Santa Ana. SOME FAMILY Felipe Lemmon, who appeared before Superior Judge F. M. Jamison on a charge of failure to provide for his minor children, had quite a job cut out bed the bee of its honey, for, as is widely known, the north winds prevailed and dried the nectar in the blossoms. "Comparatively few wild flowers bloomed along the foothills and on the desert, where, during the spring of 1922, the blossoms were the heaviest in many years. So scarce are the flowers that apiarists are not only facing a loss of their crops, but of their bees as well. The bees will have to be fed if they are to live. Sugar is so high that feeding bees on it will be too costly for the average honey producer. Many honey producers have shipped their bees to Idaho and other northwestern states because of the long dry season. In the northwest the moisture produced more wild flowers and the honey obtained from the bees will be marketed there, causing a shortage here." SCOUTS AT CATALINA Roll call at Camp Shaw, on Catalina island, found 105 Orange county boys there with ten senior leaders as chaperons. The outing is scheduled to last until July 21. Reports from the camp were in effect that every boy was comfortably settled, and that the daily fun of camp life already had begun. Among the boys and leaders attending the camp are: Fullerton—Donald Pierotti, Jack Harmony, Bud Wilhife, Chesley Woodward, Paul Severson, Williard Wilson, Jack Scott, Don Parker, Lyle Smith, Frank Smith, Teddy Woodward, Clyde Rhone, Bill Travers; Lowell Greeni Francis Siebenthal, Will Peterson, Tom Nuttall, Charles Bissitt, Wm. McGimpsey and Charles Waits; Keith Bolen, Harry Ipsen, Earl Calvert and Courtland Feuquay, leaders. Anaheim—James Clemmer, Britts Price, Walter Blakely, Glen Sharp, Donald Baum, Billy Grafton, Rector mon was for bureau officials to get exceedingly busy about the first of June trying to spend all the money allotted to them for the fiscal year for fear that if congress found they had not expended their full appropriation they would not be granted so much the next year. It is a striking illustration of the reform of this particular evil that the only man found guilty of trying to put it over this year was promptly discharged from the public service. Every once in a while we are impelled to remark that what this country has needed in the white house for a long time was a country editor! Poverty makes a lot of men virtuous. J. M. SCHUMACHER CO.

Jamison on a charge of failure to provide for his minor children, had quite a job cut out for him before he was arrested. This was generally agreed by those who heard the court proceedings. Court Clerk Earl Abbey was first to discover it, when he arose with a flourish and commenced reading the charge. By the time Abbey had reachde the name of the fifth child under 12 years old, he began to breathe audibly. At the seventh he took a fresh grip on himself and went through the eighth and ninth. At the finish he was groggy. Resuming his seat, he critically inspected the paper he had been reading. "Thought I had hold of the city directory," he muttered to Balliff Scott, who nodded sympathetically. It wasn't clear, however, whether the sympathy was meant for Abbey or Felipe. "A whole orchard full of lemans," Scott whispered back. "Er—your honor, we only included about two-thirds of the children in this complaint," explained Deputy District Attorney C. N. Mozley. The court started visibly, "There are enough," he conceded, fixing November 1, at 10 a.m., as the time for Lemmon's trial. Meanwhile Felipe was released on his own recognizance in order that he might return to work. THE THIRTEEN HOODOO Hoodoo number 13 figured in the fatal crash Sunday afternoon on the Santa Ana automobile race track, it became known at the inquest over the remains of Frank Lowry, oil worker of Huntington Beach. He died from injuries received when a racing car dashed from the course into the crowd of spectators. Thirteen cars were entered in the twenty-five mile race, and the thirteenth entry was the car which caused the death of one and the injury of four spectators. Lowry was one of five spectators hit by the racer.

Nelson, and Orange county men associated with him in a lease of 400 acres in Aliso canyon, will develop producing wells on the property, in the opinion of C. H. Palmer, who claims to have a "divining rod" that is positive in its indication of oil. He said he used his "rod" on the Aliso lease this week, and that the instrument worked strong in the canyon. Associated with Carr are F. C. Krause, Stanley Chapman and T. D. McMurland, of Fullerton, and District Attorney Nelson, Ed Lee and Charles and Ray Carlillo, of Santa Ana. The lease was secured from Joaquin Serrano, the property being located at a poin near where the road to Madame Modjeska's home branches form Aliso canyon. Carr said that he and his associates were prepared to start drilling operations at any time, but they were deferring action until such time as oil prices become more stable. HARDING MEANS BUSINESS IN COMPELLING ECONOMY One of the last things President Harding did before leaving Washington to start on his long trip was to attend a business meeting of government officials and lay down the law to them as to the matter of expending public money.

He died from injuries received when a racing car dashed from the course into the crowd of spectators. Thirteen cars were entered in the twenty-five mile race, and the thirteenth entry was the car which caused the death of one and the injury of four spectators. Lowry was one of five spectators hit by the racer. His left foot was severed and it was necessary to amputate his right leg at the hospital. He died from a fractured skull without regaining consciousness. Jack Turner, of Long Beach, was the driver of the death car, and suffered only bruises about the chest from the steering wheel. Lowry was employed at Huntington Beach by the Petroleum Midway Oil company. The improvised track is owned by the Irvine company and is located at the foot of South Main street. It is understood this track will not be available for any more races. HONEY CROP A FAILURE Adverse weather conditions which forced the honey bee into activity in the early spring has virtually cost San Bernardino county its 1923 honey crop, worth thousands of dollars, according to B. H. Staley, San Bernardino county bee inspector. Concerning conditions which brought about this loss, the inspector said recently: "Lack of sufficient rainfall in the spring to produce an abundant growth of wild flowers was a hard blow to the bee men. And then when the orange blossoms began to bloom, fully a month earlier than usual during the warm spell, heavy north winds prevailed and dried the nectar in the blossoms. This rob- IN COMPELLING ECONOMY One of the last things President Harding did before leaving Washington to start on his long trip was to attend a business meeting of government officials and lay down the law to them as to the matter of expending public money. Taking official notice or reported attempts on the part of some officials to influence congress to make larger appropriations than had been recommended by the budget bureau, the president emphatically warned all of them against such activities. "I did not hesitate," Mr. Harding declared, "to say that a repetition of the acts of any government officer before congressional committees in urging appropriations in excess of the budget's recommendation will be regarded as sufficient reason to cause the giving of consideration to the severance of such officials from the government service." Of course the president has to use the language of dignity and decorum, even in this little family gathering. But what he plainly meant and what every man there doubtless understood, was that if anybody was caught urging congress to appropriate more money for his particular office or division or bureau than the budget called for he would finally and summarily fired. The president's emphasis in this matter was doubtless inspired by his experience as a member of congress. Again and again, for that was the custom in the old days, Senator Harding has doubtless been exasperated by the pertinacity and insistence with which bureau chiefs habe assailed congress, demanding big appropriations to be expended under their direction. His chance has come now to hit that bad practice and he has hit it hard. Another thing that used to be com- Notice is hereby given, by the undersigned, administrator of the estate of Edward W.
