PRACTICAL INSTRUCTIONS IN HOME SEWING By RUTH WYETH SPEARS Economy in the Fall Wardrobe Make a Bolero for Last Season's Frock This is the time of year to take stock of one's clothes to see what will be needed for Fall and what can be made to do for another season. No doubt you have a straight one-piece dress that is still good. Almost everyone has, for they have been in style so long. The very best way to give such a dress a smart new line is to add a bolero. These trig little effects are being shown for Fall wear by the best shops. They are sometimes made of self material or again they may be of contrasting cloth, as in the model I have sketched here. In this dress the contrasting goods also makes the cuffs and belt. A special pattern is not necessary to cut a bolera of this kind. A regular waist pattern will do, with little alterations shown by the dotted lines in the sketch at the upper left. The side seams should be slightly Important Action By Association Tri-Counties Committee Enunciates Sound Policy The members of the Tri-Counties reforestation committee and the Water Conservation Association took action recently that may have far-reaching importance to the interests of the counties of Riverside, San Bernardino and Orange. They voted unanimously in favor of launching a comprehensive program of conservation for the watershed of the Santa Ana. This will logically involve the organization of a conservancy district and the development of plans for comprehensive work financed by the district and by state and federal aid. The committees also favored the employment of Francis Cuttle as leader in this movement; and that action was most fitting in view of his long service in conservation work, his recognized ability in that field, and his unselfish interest in the movement. The enunciation of policy is only the beginning; and the men present at the meeting recognize this; but the action taken clears the atmosphere and makes the real work of the future easier. The urgency of the situation was frankly discussed at this meeting. The forest and brush cover is being de-nuded; the water level is lowering, and the demands for water are increasing as the three counties grow and develop. The Santa Ana watershed is the only source of supply for a large part of the territory covered by the three counties; and nowhere in the world is water put to more important economic use than in these three counties. Under favorable conditions, the agricultural products of these counties for a single year are worth $40,000,000; and without an adequate and enduring water supply that vast su mis emperiled. The three counties have worked together in the past on this conservation program; and looking to the future, a special pattern is not necessary to cut a bolera of this kind. A regular waist pattern will do, with little alterations shown by the dotted lines in the sketch at the upper left. The side seams should be slightly flared as shown at "A" and "B." The deep V-neck is shaped as at "C." The bottom of the front is curved upward toward the side seams as at "D." The back is cut straight as at "E." 20 YEARS AGO IN MOTORDOM Charles Covell and daughter arrived in Los Angeles from Ventura in his auto. Mrs. Covell came by train, as she did not care to risk her life in a gasoline buggy. All autolists in the city were invited to join the parade in Los Angeles to celebrate the installation of electric lights along Broadway. An eastern manufacturer, in the funny 1905's, announced that owing to the rising price of gasoline, motorists would be forced to use alcohol for fuel. Because of the popularity of autos with young couples, permits were granted for three more road houses between Los Angeles and Arcadia race-track. There were already four of these establishments along the route. National interest was aroused by announcement that an attempt would be made to drive autos to the summit of Pike's Peak. This was to demonstrate that a motor car could negotiate any road that a horse and wagon could travel. Imperial Valley ranchers called a meeting to consider the subject of better roads for the valley. It was pointed out that automobiles would be attracted to that section if the highways were improved. Weddings Delayed Because of Booze A pint of gin and the remains of what police said was probably a pint of apricot brandy caused the arrest of four Los Angeles people, two men and two women, on their way to Tijuana to get married, according to a tale told Huntington Beach police after the group had been allowed to stay in jail over night. Spurred on by that which the police sold was probably liquor, the hilarious Weddings Delayed Because of Booze A pint of gin and the remains of what police said was probably a pint of apricot brandy caused the arrest of four Los Angeles people, two men and two women, on their way to Tijuana to get married, according to a tale told Huntington Beach police after the group had been allowed to stay in jail over night. Spurred on by that which the police said was probably liquor, the hilarious four, in a popular model car, dashed across an intersection at a rate of speed described as "death defying," by Motorcycle Officer Elmer Parker, who arrested them. Parker declared that they were making a speed of 45 miles an hour. Parker found in the car an empty bottle which he said he was told had contained gin. Another bottle with very little apricot brandy inside was also found in the car. The four were taken to the city jail and locked up on charges of intoxication. The four with matrimonial intentions were: Mabel Haymond, 24, waitress, 755 West Washington street, Los Angeles; Lee Norton, 28, plasterer, Los Angeles; Miss Levi Fairgrief, 19, waitress, 1143 West Twenty-fourth street, Los Angeles, and Ralph W. Robinson, 24, salesman, also of Los Angeles. Early next morning Norton and Miss Haymond were released after discovering $50 amount their effects, which they posted as bail. They returned later for the other two, after securing enough money to bail them out. "We started to Tijuana to get married," they told police, but couldn't explain how they got to Huntington Beach. "I guess we will have to try again some time," they sighed as they bid local officers goodbye. Nobody will begin worrying about the anthracite strike until all the 1925 pen-nant races have been settled. What has become of the old-fashioned economist who predicted, back in 1920, that our supply of oil would be exhausted by 1925? Trojans Prepare For Hot Season Thirteen Games Scheduled for This Fall and Winter With the return of its new football coach, Howard Jones, from Middletown, Ohio, where he visited his family, after giving a summer coaching course at Colorado State Teachers' College, the University of Southern California began preparations for the most strenuous football season of its career. The Trojans will play 13 games, beginning with a double-header on September 26. Bovard field, the university athletic grounds, is to be enlarged by approximately two acres. All the land directly back of Old College is to be added to the field, which will thus extend an entire block. To make this change, the demolition of the chemistry building and the removal of the architectural building is necessary, work having been started this week. On the ground cleared by these removals will be installed a quarter-mile track and two baseball diamonds, as an addition to the athletic facilities of Bovard field, which previously have been a little cramped for the growing university. The changes will be completed by the first of next year. This fall business will continue as usual during alterations, and the Bovard gridiron will be used for practise by the Trojan squad. All the Southern California games are to be played in the Los Angeles coliseum, except the Idaho affray, for which the team will travel to Moscow, seat of the Idaho institution. Jones has issued the call for first practise on September 15, when he will take up the work of installing the "execute system" where he left off after spring practise in June. The weeding-out process will undoubtedly be swift, as Jones obtains his best effects by concentrating on a small body of men, picked with great care. The Trojan squad will not contain more than 30 men after the season is well under way. A large squad, the coach declares is unwieldy and is apt to GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP Martin B. Madden, Illinois representative in congress, chairman of the house committee on appropriations, watchdog of the treasury and leader in the tax reduction program in Washington, in addressing a 12-state western taxpayers' conference at Portland, said in regard to government operation of business: "Governmental agencies are not qualified to operate any business out of which any profits are to be made. Patronage to pass out, the demands of influential friends to satisfy, and the continual upbuilding of political prestige at public expense are the things that account for most of our governmental troubles." Referring to the attempt at government ownership of an American merchant marine, Mr. Madden used the United States shipping board as an illustration. He explained how the sudden requirements of the country when plunged into the World War had thrown it into the shipbuilding business. At the close of the war the government had 437 ships, but then someone conceived the idea that the government ought to go into the shipping business and make the United States the greatest maritime nation on the face of the earth. "Not satisfied with the 437 ships we had, and which we didn't know what to do with, we got busy and built a lot more, so that pretty soon we had 2300—some of which wouldn't float. These cost us over $3,000,000,000. There was not a member of the shipping board who knew anything about operating ships, and if there had been it probably would not have helped matters much, for there were 531 men in congress who 531 different ideas of just what should be done. Now I am heartily in favor of perpetuating an American merchant mar- Jones has issued the call for first practise on September 15, when he will take up the work of installing the "execute system" where he left off after spring practise in June. The weeding-out process will undoubtedly be swift, as Jones obtains his best effects by concentrating on a small body of men, picked with great care. The Trojan squad will not contain more than 30 men after the season is well under way. A large squad, the coach declares, is unwieldy and is apt to cause a fatal lack of team play. The double-header of September 26 will be of great value to Jones in making his final appointments to positions. Eight quarters of play, against Whittier and Cal Tech, will afford ample time for the use of all likely candidates, so that a definite varsity team will emerge for the Pomona game on October 3. Bids Opened for Coast Boulevard Bids have been opened by the California highway commission for grading and surfacing the final section of the Coast boulevard in southern Orange county, the unit extending 7.42 miles from Laguna Beach to San Juan creek. Alternative bids were received from 16 different contractors, the lowest being that of Charles L. Willis & Son of Los Angeles. The Willis bid was $159,024.75; engineer's estimate, $202,070.75. Awarding of a contract will be considered by the commission at its next meeting, to be held in San Francisco on September 21. Completion of the great Coast boulevard, which will provide a motor route along the shores of the Pacific ocean from north of Santa Barbara to San Diego, is one of the major primary construction projects of the commission. The work was provided for in the 1925 budget and is being financed with federal aid funds. The section of this route from Oxnard to Serra was included in the 1919 bond issue. Grading of the section north of Santa Monica is under contract and is rapidly nearing completion.

It will be the Southland's most famous highway, in the opinion of Commissioner Nelson T. Edwards. FLORIDA SNAKE STORY A good lady, whose home is in Los Angeles, but who is temporarily sojourned in Miami, Florida, writes to the Los Angeles Times, making complaint of what she evidently considers false and harmful reports circulated in Florida regarding Los Angeles and Southern California in general. The lady says that the story she especially objects to is one to the effect that California is a "snake state," and that 70,000 razor-back hogs were imported from Virginia to kill the snakes. The story goes on that the Virginia importation strove faithfully to "deliver the goods" and that hogs leaving the snake dens with from 200 to 300 snakes clinging to their bodies were no uncommon sight. Following heavy rains, said this veracious chronicle, snakes were washed down from the mountains in such numbers that men had to go out in the yards of their homes each morning, and by the use of a shovel, kill the snakes, and thus make the premises safe for democracy, as it were. To attempt to refute or deny such an interesting story would be "love's labor lost." Far better for each citizen of California to go on in the even tenor of his way, killing what snakes come to him in the natural course of events, either those "washed down the mountains by the heavy rains," or that much greater number which have their genesis in the same source as that from which the originator of the Florida yarn derived his inspiration—bootleg whisky.

I am in favor of doing it even if we have to give these boats away. I found that it was costing more than $50,000,000 a year to take care of these boats, only one-fifth of which we were using at all. It was costing the major portion of this amount to keep the boats we were not using and had no earthly use for, afloat. We have succeeded in cutting our annual loss down to $36,000,000, but we still have to pay out $24,000,000 of this to keep ships afloat that aren't in use. My idea is to get rid of them so we can keep the American flag afloat." In this brief sketch of the nation's experience with government ownership and operation of ships, Mr. Madden told the whole story of such ventures which, of necessity, are subject to political management. No more striking object lesson could be placed before the American people to guide them away from such undertakings. The United States is to have an international radio conference in 1926, at which 42 nations will be represented. Doubtless the first thing done will be an international agreement for the elimination of static.

Phone 26 Phone-129 Mr. Merchant:--- Get "Hep" to Yourself ADVERTISING makes for prosperity—it increases business, creates a market for goods and disposes of them as necessities or because of advantages and inducements attractively set forth. It hits at hard times by putting money into circulation and keeping it there; it helps to strengthen public confidence by stimulating trade activity. Advertising is the force that moves slow sellers from counter to customer. Every advertisement is a salesman of proven ability, reaching every class, breed and sex in the community. People always prefer to buy known goods from merchants whom they know. Advertising makes you acquainted with the buying public. This "personality on print" is the greatest builder of confidence there is. Too many merchants treat advertising like they do a collector for a church. They think it costs a terrible lot until they check up on it and find out that they ain't done nothing yet." Advertising will not sell bathing suits to the Eskimo or overcoats to the South Sea Islander; some merchants, however, shoulder on it almost as difficult a job and lose confidence in advertising when it fails.
