CHANGING OWNERSHIP OF AUTOMOBILES Four Out of Every Ten Change Hands Each Year. Nearly four out of every ten automobiles in California change hands each year. This is indicated in estimates compiled by the Division of Motor Vehicles showing an approximate total of 425,000 transfers of cars in 1923 as compared to a total registration of 1,115,000. This record is due to the heavy turnover in the used car market, in the opinion of Will H. Marsh, Chief of the Division, who points out that the increase in sales of new cars is being about a corresponding increase in the sale of second hand cars. With provisions in the new motor vehicle law for the issuance of a certificate of ownership to the legal owner of every car, a number of changes will be necessary in the method of transferring cars. For the information of those desirous of selling their cars Marsh has the following to say: "The ownership certificate and not the certificate of registration, is the document upon which the transfer is made and a sale is not complete until the certificate of ownership has been sent to this office or presented to a branch office and another issued in the name of the new owner. "Spaces are provided on the face of every certificate of ownership for the signatures of the legal and registered owners. If a man, who is both legal and registered owner of a car, desires to sell it, should sign the joint endorsement of transfer on the back of the certificate and turn it over to the buyer. His signature must agree with that on the face of the certificate. "The buyer must then sign the transfer blank on the line provided for his name. If he transfers the car be- of every certificate of ownership for the signatures of the legal and registered owners. If a man, who is both legal and registered owner of a car, desires to sell it, should sign the joint endorsement of transfer on the back of the certificate and turn it over to the buyer. His signature must agree with that on the face of the certificate. "The buyer must then sign the transfer blank on the line provided for his name. If he transfers the car before it is re-registered, the signature of the second buyer must appear. "In any case the name of the new legal owner, if any, must appear at the bottom of the transfer blank in the space provided. All transfers must be dated. "After the proper signatures have been secured, the certificate of ownership is mailed to this office, or presented at any of the branch offices, where, after properly verifying the engine number, a new certificate of ownership is issued and mailed to the legal owner and a new certificate of registration is sent to the registered owner. "A fee of $1 is required for each transfer. If a car is bought by one individual and sold to another before it is re-registered, this will be deemed to constitute two transfers and a fee of $2 will be required. An exception to this rule is made only in case the first buyer is a dealer. In such cases a fee of $1 only will be required from the second buyer. "It application for transfer is not made within thirty days a penalty, equal to the amount of the fee, will be added. "In case the man, desirous of selling a car, is not the legal owner, he cannot make the transfer until the consent of the legal owner has been obtained and application for re-registration will not be honored unless the signature of the legal owner appears on the back of the certificate of ownership." REGULATION OF BILLBOARDS The current controversy over the power to regulate the erection and display of billboards along public highways is invested with a certain piquant emphasis by the fact that Massachusetts is being looked to by other and far-distant peoples as an exemplar in the case; notably in France, despite the supposition of Laurence Sterne that "they order this matter better" there. The peasants and innkeepers of Normandy and the foreign commerce of the United State by groups shows an increase in every group, both import and export, 1923 over 1922, except food exports, which, because European food production closely approached normal last year, resulted in backing up the outflow. We produced on a war basis and sold abroad on a peace basis, hence exports of crude foods decreased from $459,000,000 to $257,500,000. Imports of crude materials for use in manufacturing, 1922, totalled $1,161,000,000; in 1923 the total was $1,389,000,000. Manufactures for further use in manufacturing increased from $553,000,000 to $719,000,000. The two groups together show an aggregate increase of $394,000,000. Greater manufacturing activity was responsible for the increase. Exports of crude materials increased from $981,000,000 to $1,203,000,000; and exports of partly manufactured goods from $438,000,000 to $564,000,000. Raw cotton exports accounted for the former increase in great measure and we have been shipping abroad large quantities of semi-processed steel goods. Imports of crude foodstuffs increased from $330,000,000 to $363,000,000; and of manufactured foods from $387,000,000 to $530,000,000. Included in these groups were large increases in our imports of coffee, tea, cocoa, spices, coconut products, sago, tropical fruits, foreign delicacies, and other food commodities of a non-competitive character. The exports of crude foodstuffs have been noted, while those of partly The current controversy over the power to regulate the erection and display of billboards along public highways is invested with a certain plquant emphasis by the fact that Massachusetts is being looked to by other and far-distant peoples as an exemplar in the case; notably in France, despite the supposition of Laurence Sterne that "they order this matter better" there. The peasants and innkeepers of Normandy and the Basques, "fragments of forgotten peoples," on the slopes of the Pyrenees, object to having their picturesque scenery, beloved of artists and tourists, disfigured with hideous advertising signs, and they have caused their senators at Paris to introduce a measure providing the desired protection; in urging the enactment of which the example of Massachusetts is often cited. There will be those who will think that thus too much credit is given to this State. Certainly it will be held that at any rate we must take no backward step from the position thus imputed to us, but rather must "make good" and live up to our reputation. There must indeed be general agreement, save, of course, by those sordidly interested in the very abuse which it is sought to abate, that the public is entitled to protection from offenses to the eye. The senses must be respected. It would be intolerable to flavor our drinking water with something which, while quite innocuous to health, gave it an unpleasant taste. Unnecessary noises which distress the ear and rack the nerves, and odors which sicken the sense of smell are rightly regarded as nuisances. No less objectionable are unnecessary structures or displays which obstruct the vision and offend the sight. Nor are such things to be condemn- Imports of crude foodstuffs increased from $330,000,000 to $363,000,000, and of manufactured foods from $387,000,000 to $530,000,000. Included in these groups were large increases in our imports of coffee, tea, cocoa, spices, coconut products, sago, tropical fruits, foreign delicacies, and other food commodities of a non-competitive character. The exports of crude foodstuffs have been noted, while those of partly manufactured foods decreased from $588,002,000 to $583,000,000, similar reasons existing for the falling off in sales of these goods as existed with respect to the crudes. Imports of manufactured ready for consumption increased from $663,000,-009 to $770,000,000, or $107,000,000, prove conclusively the Republican tariff law has not been the prohibitive measure that the Democrats claim it to be. The solicitude displayed by the Democrats for European producers has been misplaced for imports from that grand division, which are chiefly manufactured goods, increased about 20 per cent. With the exception of the Azores, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Esthnia, Greece, Iceland, Portugal, Rumania, Switzerland, Turkey, and the Ukraine, all small countries which have been beset with internal troubles, each European country registered considerable increases in their sales to us. Exports of manufactures increased from $1,292,000,000 to $1,478,000,000. There was a slight decline to Europe, and considerable increases to every other grand division. Africa, which was falling behind in purchases from us earlier in the year, closed the year with several millions increase over 1922. The miscellaneous group shows increases in imports from $19,000,000 to ANAHEIM GAZETTE $21,000,000, and a decrease in exports from $7,000,000 to $6,400,000. The aggregate for the entire year, compared with the previous year shows an increase in imports from $3,113,000,000 to $3,792,000,000; and exports, $3,832,000,000 to $4,168,000,000. This, all things considered, is an excellent showing. The Republican tariff law has resulted in a well balanced exchange of commodities with a favorable balance of $376,000,000. Hence the Democrats are abandoning the tariff as an issue while they raise a tempest in Tea Pot Dome. THE WORLD'S BUSIEST CANAL "When the locks at Sault Ste. Marie closed down for the winter a few weeks ago because Jack Frost's fingers were getting a firmer and firmer hold on the north country, the world's busiest canal went out of business temporarily," saws a bulletin from the Washington, D. C. headquarters of the National Geographic society. Through this narrow gateway that joins the greatest of the Great Lakes to its sisters to the east and south, continues the bulletin, "flows for eight months of the year a marine parade of huge vessels that dwarfs traffic streams elsewhere. The 66 million tons of freight sent through in 1922 was something like five times as great as the freight passing through the Panama canal that year, and more than three times as great as that moved through Suez in its best twelf-month. "The vast wheat fields of Minnesota, the Dakotas and parts of Canada and the great iron and copper mines on the shores of Lake Superior are the chief factors that have built up this inland canal's tremendous business. Ore furnishes most of the weight in the year's freight total, but the grain handled is of greater value." Indians join its street crowds and everywhere on encounters booted 'lumber-Jacks' wearing colored flannel shirts, and if it is cold, generously checked mackinaw jackets. "Near the Soo in the Taquamenon river country, among the Ojibway Indians originated the Hiawatha legend and each fall redskins gather to enact the delightful story made famous by Longfellow. "Even though the fall at the Soo is little greater than twenty feet a large volume of waer passes out of Lake Superior and much water power is available. Big hydro electric plants have been developed on both sides of the river and the towns are of growing importance industrially. While the throaty blare of the whistles on the lake steamers is silent in winter the water wheels still turn and keep woolen and lumber mills, carbide and chemical factories, and numerous small enterprises busy." MORE MONEY FOR LIMA BEAN ASSOCIATION MEMBERS The California Lima Bean Growers Association has been conducting experiments for the past two or three years as a result of which, by means of special grading attachments on regular bean cleaners, limas are separated into Seaside and Choice Recleaned grades with one run through the machine without any loss of weight because of such grading. In the meantime, the association has been building up an increasing demand for Seaside and could have sold considerably more Seaside than it could secure this season. Arrangements are now being prefected to permit this grading to be done at practically all warehouses this coming season that every grower member of the association will accept it at all suitable Public in and for said County and State, residing therein, duly commissioned and sworn personally appeared Walter A.

Ore furnishes most of the weight in the year's freight total, but the grain handled is of greater value. "The St. Mary's river, which connects Lakes Superior and Huron, has its banks at the rapids towns named Sault Ste. Marle both in the United States and in Canada each with a population of about 12 thousand. Though the name is spelled 'Sault' it is pronounced 'Soo', and many Americans both in and out of the town have insisted on spelling it as it is pronounced. Letters addressed to The Soo, Michigan', have never failed to reach their destination. The term means 'the jump' or 'tumble' of the St. Mary's. "The banks of the St. Mary's at the rapids formed the site of a mission and fur trading post in the early days of the French settlement of North America. After the British regime the first flock was built in 1797, a small affair capable of handling only canoes and skiffs. Even this was destroyed during the War of 1812. "For nearly half a century all freight was taken past the rapids on the American side by portage, first in carts and later on a horse drawn tramway. The American Sault Ste. Marie's principal business street of today grew up along this old portage just as Broadway grew along the cow path of the New Amsterdamers. "Sault Ste. Marie is a typical modern, wide awake American town through the week, but on Saturday it takes on a color that proves it is not yet wholly out of touch with its virile frontier days.
