SOLDIERS AT PRESIDIO ENJOY CHRISTMAS WEEK Christmas trees and entertainments for Army children and distribution of gifts to the soldiers of the Presidio and other posts in the Bay Cities region were features of Christmas week. Following an old army custom, regimental officers and ladies were the guests of the soldiers at Christmas dinner in the barrack mess halls. Each company had its own special Christmas dinner with roast turkey as the piece de resistance and with all the usual trimmings. Col. Samuel G. Jones, adjutant general, Ninth Corps Area, Col. Edgar A. Sirmyer, Col. Charles S. Lincoln, added by ladies of the posts had charge of the arrangements for Christmas week. Col. Jones is well qualified to organize Christmas entertainments. In 1916 while serving on the staff of General Pershing in the expedition into Mexico, he produced from the desert wilds of Mexico the largest Christmas tree ever seen in the Army and provided the most elaborate Christmas entertainment ever held for troops in the field. About ten days before Christmas General Pershing called upon Col. Jones to arrange the Christmas entertainment for the expedition and remarked that he would like to have a Christmas tree for the soldiers. Taking an escort of 80 men, Col. Jones started on his hunt for the Christmas tree. Thirty-five miles from their camp at Colonia Dublan, near Casas Grandes, Chihuahua, he found his tree growing well up on the side of a mountain. It was a good sturdy tree which looked as though it would hold all the little knicknacks intended for the soldiers and Col. Jones set his men to cutting it down. When cut it was one hundred and twenty-five feet long and oneorer organization in the trail marking of the southwest. South from Tia Juana to Elsenada, a distance of 71 miles and thence to La Grulla Gun Club, 14 miles farther are found the auto club signs in English. The road from Elsenada to Mexicali, a distance of 132 miles, and the road along the border in Mexico from Tia Juana to Mexicali via Tacate, a distance of 130 miles also are signed. There have been 392 signs placed. Signs are now in the making for the road from Mexicali to Yuma via Algodones, a distance of 71 miles. When this work is completed, all of the principal roads in Lower California will have been signed by the auto club. LATIN AMERICAN TRADE According to the Department of Commerce figures on our trade with Latin America for the 10 months ended October 31, compared with the corresponding period of 1923, show a light decrease in our imports, but a good increase in our exports. Imports were valued at $904,000,000 as compared with $911,000,000 last year, the increase of nearly $24,000,000 from Mexico, being more than offset by losses of fifteen million five hundred thousand each from the West Indies and South America. Exports showed a gain of ten per cent. They were valued at six hundred thirty six million or within eighty-five million of those for the whole year 1923. Our sales to the British West Indies declined by about three million, those to Argentina by nearly one million, and those to Chile by about six hundred sixty-six thousand, but increased for all other countries or trade regions. South America as a whole gained thirty-one million, (fifteen million of which was for Brazil) Mexico eleven million, Central America five million, the misuse of the Dr. John F.

Christmas tree for the soldiers. Taking an escort of 80 men, Col. Jones started on his hunt for the Christmas tree. Thirty-five miles from their camp at Colonia Dublan, near Casas Grandes, Chihuahua, he found his tree growing well up on the side of a mountain. It was a good sturdy tree which looked as though it would hold all the little knicknacks intended for the soldiers and Col. Jones set his men to cutting it down. When cut it was one hundred and twenty-five feet long and four and one half feet thick at the butt. Eight motor trucks and the running gear of four army escort wagons were required to transport it across country to the camp. In the meantime a chaplain of the expedition was sent to El Paso 200 miles distant with a Christmas shopping list which included lights and decorations for the tree. Unfortunately the chaplain lost the list and when he returned it was found that he had forgotten the colored lights for the tree. Obtaining 500 ordinary electric light bulbs, Col. Jones, who had been instructor of chemistry at West Point concocted some home-made dyes with materials at hand and colored the bulbs after first coating them with "new-skin" borrowed from the medical supplies, to make the dyes adhere and give depth to the colors. With some colored bunting and ornaments cut from five-gallon oil cans, the decorations for the tree were completed. The engineers erected the tree in short order and the lights, strung on 2000 feet of electric light wire furnished by the Signal Corps, and supplied current from the picture machine illuminated the tree, to which had been added a 25 foot flag pole with the Stars and Stripes flying from it, so that it was visible for forty miles or more. On Christmas Day, the troops of the expedition marched to the Christmas tree and their movements were so timed that the different organizations arrived at the same time at the different points of a six pointed star laid out at the base of the tree, where a chief Santa Claus with a force of 34 assistant Santa Clauses were ready to distribute gifts. In twenty minutes 2 carloads of California oranges, 1200 Red Cross packages, six tons of candy, seven tons of smoking tobacco and 50,000 cigars were distributed to every soldier and to the Mexican children in the vicinity. Our sales to the British West Indies declined by about three million, those to Argentina by nearly one million, and those to Chile by about six hundred sixty-six thousand, but increased for all other countries or trade regions. South America as a whole gained thirty-one million, (fifteen million of which was for Brazil) Mexico eleven million, Central America five million, and Cuba eight million. The decline in sugar import values, which totaled ten million, although the amount increased five hundred and thirty-two million pounds, more than accounted for the total decrease of imports from Latin America. It will be noted that the total trade with the Latin Americas, as given by the department of commerce, was over one billion five hundred million, or at the rate of nearly one billion eighth hundred fifty million for the entire year. This is over one hundred million greater than for 1923. The trade has shown a tendency to take a spurt again during the last three months of the current year. It was predicted last year by those who have followed our trade relations with the Latin Americas that it would come pretty close to two billion dollars in 1924, and the indications are that the estimate was not very far out of the way. With four years of political fair weather in prospect there is good ground for believing that by the time another presidential campaign rolls around we will be doing a business with the Latin Americas of about three billion dollars a year. That it will exceed two billion dollars in 1925 is practically certain. This would give us a growth in this trade by 26-year periods, so far as we are able to determine from the statistics available, as follows: 1825 $19,000,000 1850 26,000,000 1875 107,000,000 1900 226,000,000 1925 2,000,000,000 It can not be too frequently reiterated that our trade with Latin America is in a large sense complementary rather than competitive. We import their raw materials and tropical fruits while they take our manufactured goods. The further their civilization progresses, the greater their purchase of our fabricated products.

Statistics show that the few days following Christmas reach the peak of the year for lost articles. Frequently cherished gifts disappear and there is mourning ever after. Through the highly organized system of the Automobile Club of Southern California hundreds of lost articles are restored to their owners, so the club advises if some of Santa's donations are lost during the holiday season that its lost and found department be consulted before the owner gives up as gone forever the missing present. Highway signs in English in Lower California, Mexico, now greet the American tourist over 347 miles of road in that section, according to a check just completed by the sign-posting department of the Automobile Club of Southern California, which is the pl- It can not be too frequently reiterated that our trade with Latin Americas is in a large sense complementary rather than competitive. We import their raw materials and tropical fruits while they take our manufactured goods. The further their civilization progresses, the greater their purchase of our fabricated products. The more urban we become—and we are rated at about 51 per cent urban now—as a result of our increasing population and industrialization, the greater will be our dependency upon them for raw materials. Here is a field of friendship and profit which we can ill afford to slight. Prophetic eyes will follow in the future development of the Latin Americas much more for the welfare and uplift of the peoples of the Western Hemisphere than can be expected to accrue to us from our relations with war-ridden and race-embittered Europe. Clay beheld it in the second decade of the Nineteenth Century; Blaine saw it towards the close of the century. We are more and more becoming exporters of goods. Great Britain will centralize her energies during the coming century on trade with her dominions. The Latin Americas provide our special field for trade expansion. AMERICAN LEGION NOTES Fakirs claiming to be War veterans are taking advantage of the people of California again in the sale of "fake" magazine and other articles of no value according to a warning sent out by Department Adjutant, James K. Fisk. Fisk asks that the public refrain from purchasing from these so-called veterans as the Legion is trying to secure the passage of a new law preventing publication, would until some time later. The same object "drive", which was Cleveland Heath, police traffic squares of his campaign accepted approval and stated that the tactive League could not be open number of days or "pushed" for such need for stringent tion. "We are not en route the moment, to meet then become silent are in the thing to tend to stay there come safe for pedestrians or cars another autolist, we law prescribes, is organization ready cute his unlawful Heaven! This receiving pest is in the nority! But, even decap facing him, 'finish' a nose ahead the next deadliest nual race of death." ANAHEIM GAZETTE the misuse of the veterans. Dr. John F. Slavish of Oakland Post of the American Legion, Chairman of the Legion's Child Welfare Committee for California has organized his committee consisting of prominent Legion-alers from all parts of the state for work among the war orphans. The committee will handle the adoption in families of veterans war orphans, the assignment of adjusted compensation claims to the national fund of the Legion to be used in rehabilitation and children's billlets. Organization of a new work in the American Legion, that of a committee on penal institutions to study the problems of handling the rehabilitation of ex-service men who get into prison, is announced by the State Headquarters of the Legion. George Miller, former vice-commander of the Legion in California is chairman of the committee which will work to get the first time offender into contact with their families when their terms expire and to get employment for the veterans. State Commander, Nathan F. Coombs and E. Snapper Ingram, grand Chef de Gare of the Forty and Eighth Society, have just completed a tour of San Quentin prison and find that there are 634 veterans out of the 3,000 odd prisoners there. The new committee will consider the problem of prison rehabilitation in a practical way without sentimentality and will attempt to improve the conditions among the ex-service men who have erred. President Coolidge's approval in large part of the legislative program of the American Legion, expressed in his annual message to congress, is expected to have great weight in securing favorable action by congress upon the various measures sponsored by the Legion, according to word received here by State Commander, Nathan F. Coombs. of public expenditures to which the administration will give a positive sanction, instead of repeating negative declarations that economy is needed and that not a cent be spent recklessly or unwisely." Oh, piffle! Is not the editor of the Journal yet aware that we have a budget system? That is its very purpose and right glorious is its achievement. J.C.

LEAGUE FOR PROTECTION OF THE MAN ON FOOT With the announcement yesterday of its newly appointed board of directors, officials of the Pedestrians' Protective League stated that after many weeks of preparation final plans for an extensive street safety campaign in Los Angeles City and county had at last been completed and would immediately be put in operation. Some of the objectives the League will pursue in the future were given as follows: An effort to have the state legislature enact more drastic requirements for applicant's for drivers' licenses; rigorous prosecution of reckless drivers who wilfully endanger life; an educational campaign in schools and elsewhere wherein the value of safety will be stressed. A careful study of present mass transportation methods with a view to suggesting remedies will also be undertaken, it was said. Further plans, not yet ready for publication, would be held in abeyance until some time later, according to W. L. Field, President. The same objection to the word "drive", which was voiced by Captain Cleveland Heath, of the Los Angeles police traffic squad at the beginning of his campaign against speeders, received approval at Mr. Field's hands, who stated that the Pedestrians' Protective League campaign for safety would not be oportation for a limited number of days or weeks but would be Golden State National Bank Building, in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, within four (4) months after the first publication of this notice.

The same objection to the word "drive", which was voiced by Captain Cleveland Heath, of the Los Angeles police traffic squad at the beginning of his campaign against speeders, received approval at Mr. Field's hands, who stated that the Pedestrians' Protective League campaign for safety would not be ooperation for a limited number of days or weeks but would be "pushed" for such time as there is need for stringent action in this direction.

The fellow who cannot sit at the steering wheel of an automobile without feeling that the exhillation of the moment is meant for him to run down some unsuspecting pedestrians or crash into the side of another autoist, who is driving as the law prescribes, is going to find an organization ready to fearlessly prosecute his unlawful actions. Thank Heaven! This reckless, life-endangering pest is in the lowest possible minority! But, even then, with this handicap facing him, he is still able to 'finish' a nose ahead of typhoid fever, the next deadliest 'plague', in the annual race of death."
