HAROLD LLOYD, POPULAR MOVIE COMEDIAN, TELLS OF HIS YOUTH AND HIS BOYHOOD AMBITIONS Finally Realizes His Early Craving for Career, In Spite of His Mother’s Objections (Written Especially for The Gazette by HAROLD LLOYD) In the confusion of the youthful ambitions of any American boy, it is frequently extremely difficult to outline just what he visions himself in his later days. These ideas are always too shifting and kaleidoscopic. When I was a youngster most boys anticipated themselves more as great baseball players, than presidents; great prize fighters rather than big bankers or business men. In my own case, I think as far back as I can recall, my greatest longing was to become an actor. Frequently I have heard my mother assert that I inherited this ambition from her. Sort of prenatal influence, I would judge. In her girlhood days she aimed for a career on the stage, and did quite a bit of amateur theatrical work, but when she attempted to enter the professional field, her parents never would countenance the move. They were of too strong a religious trend. I was only about twelve years old when I was first permitted to indulge my theatrical ambitions before an audience. It all came about in a peculiar fashion. We were living in Omaha, and with my great longing for the theatrical life, I frequently found myself drawn towards one theater or another—usually to where the Burwood Stock Company was playing. This afternoon I was one of a crowd gazing into a window where a fortune teller was displaying his horoscope chart to the entertainment of a good-sized FOOD PRICES ON UPWARD TREND Washington Makes Public Statistics for Year Foreign Concern On Our Prices According to the New York corrections London Times has sent resume of American out that American state in 1925 rose to a level approached by any new it was added, marked material gains of any poor American economic hit.

Even as a lad this interested me, and it still does for that matter. While this performance was going on, a fire broke out nearby, and half a dozen fire engines tore past the building where the soothsayer was operating. I was too wrapped up in his chart to pay any attention to the fire, but virtually everybody else had scattered with the approach of the first engine. After several minutes I felt some one touch my shoulder and as I turned around I received the thrill of my life. It was none other than John Lane Connor, leading man of the Burwood Stock Company, whom I immediately recognized, having seen him a number of times with the Burwood organization. His interest in me was aroused by my failure to follow the fire engines. We were soon engaged in conversation, and it developed that he was preparing to change his living quarters, and I suggested that perhaps my mother would find accommodations for him at our home, inasmuch as we had a big house, and could take care of him very comfortably. It developed that he did FOOD PRICES ON UPWARD TREND Washington Makes Public Statistics for Year Food prices increased 6½ per cent last year, and it now takes $1.643 to purchase foodstuffs that could be obtained for $1 in 1913, statistics made public by the labor department show. Housewives had a little relief from high prices during the month from December 15 to January 15, however. A decrease of nearly 1 per cent in food prices was registered in the 30 days. The average cost of food in 37 cities decreased during the month. During the year, however, 49 of the 51 cities showed increases ranging from 1 to 14 per cent. Only two cities, Fort Worth and Salt Lake City, reported a decrease in the 12 months and this was but 1 per cent. Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, San Francisco and Seattle reported that food prices decreased 3 per cent last month; Denver, Fall River, Houston, New York, Portland, Ore.; Savannah, and Scranton, 2 per cent. Butte, Mont., reported 1 per cent decrease. During the last year, food prices increased at Detroit and Minneapolis, 11 per cent; Cincinnati and St. Paul, 10 per cent; Indianapolis, Philadelphia and Scranton, 9, and Cleveland, 8 per cent. Chicago, Peoria, Pittsburgh and St. Louis reported a rise of 7 per cent in the 12 months; Kansas City, Louisville and Milwaukee, 6 per cent; Springfield, Ill., 5 per cent; Little Rock, 4 per cent. Denver reported a boost of 3 per cent; Butte, Dallas, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle, 1 per cent, and Portland, Ore., less than .5 per cent. Food prices now are 76 per cent higher in Detroit today than they were in 1913, 69 per cent in Scranton, 68 per cent in Pittsburgh and St. Louis, 67 per cent in Cincinnati, 65 per cent in Cleveland, Milwaukee, Minneapolis and Omaha; Kansas City and New Orleans, 62; Indianapolis, 61; Dallas, 60; San Francisco, 56; Little Rock, 55; Seattle, 49; Los Angeles, 48; Denver, 47; Portland, Ore., 42; Salt Lake City, 36. Historic Settings Attract Tourists California Rich in Interesting Relics of the Past Historic Settings Attract Tourists California Rich in Interesting Relics of the Past It is not provincialism that prompts an admiration for the historical background which belongs to California. It is rather the realization that human interest enters largely into the pleasure of touring, declares Vonard Fraser of the National Automobile club. Europe has capitalized on every stick and stone about which any fragment of a story may be woven. The path of the continental traveler is over the well-beaten routes, which history and romance have brought into the limelight. California has a great opportunity in making capital out of her Indian legends, her mission era, the Bear flag revolution and the thrilling days of '49. The pageant is a most excellent way of bringing back the atmosphere of the early days. Hemet plans a Ramona pageant for April and it will bring thousands of visitors from every part of the state. Helen Hunt Jackson's great novel has done a great deal to interest the world in California. The Mission Play of San Gabriel is another attractive method of visualizing the history of the state. The Flesta, in Los Angeles, the Portola, in San Francisco, the celebrations of the Dons of Peralta, in Oakland, all are great publicity features for California. Most of the residents of this state are not familiar with the background of history which California possesses and the tourist is always more interested in the human factors in the upbuilding of the country than the scenic wonderlands so often featured by our propaganda writers. Know California! Travel its storied routes prepared to find history and romance wherever you go. Delve into the lore of California and you will find a greater delight in its scenic aspect. Foreign Comment On Our Prosperity According to the New York Times, the New York correspondent of the London Times has sent to his paper a resume of American conditions setting out that American standards of living in 1925 rose to a level "never before approached by any nation." The year, it was added, marked the largest material gains of any peace time year in American economic history. The correspondent added that wages remained high and that there was increased efficiency on the part of the workmen and the management in the great industries to meet increasing European competition. Of course every American knows that America is the most prosperous and most contented country in the world, but it is at least satisfactory yet confirmation from so noted a foreign source. And in passing, let us not forget to give credit to where credit is due. It will be generally admitted that the present administration in Washington, with its program of efficiency, and tax reduction, and its rule of interfering as little as possible with legitimate business, has had a great deal to do in creating the atmosphere which has made this season of prosperity possible. Let it not be forgotten, too, that we are living under a protective tariff which has made possible the stabilizing of industry and the giving of jobs at the highest wages in the world to American workmen. Free traders used to tell us that protection led to inefficiency and waste because it took keen European competition to put the American manufacturer on his mettle. It is now generally admitted that American manufacturing is more efficient than ever before, and this leads to the belief that maybe a good job at good wages, with plenty to eat and plenty of gasoline in the tank behind the workman's little old automobile brings on a state of mind that induces effectiveness rather than sabotage. For the workman, like the student and the professional man, can't stay on his mettle very long if he is underpaid, hungry and cold. The correspondent adds that things are beginning to look up a little in Great Britain. It is to be hoped that there will be substantial improvement in Great Britain this year and all over Europe, too. For the common enemy of America and all constitutional government is bolshevism, and this thrives best on poverty and discontent. The San Marcos Grade from Golota to Santa Ynez and Solvang is a good dirt road and very scenic, according to a recent report from the Touring Department of the National Automobile Club. The work of widening and straightening curves on the north grade has recently been completed and new gravel spread on the north slope. There are a few rough, dusty stretches through the San Marcos Ranch. The south grade is steep and there are numerous short turns.
