OBSERVATIONS
BY A CONTRIBUTOR
JUST LIKE LEAKY BOAT
A NEW-FANGLED cafeteria plan of handling motor vehicle violators, adopted some time ago in an eastern city, is likely to be adopted out west. Speeders will be given tags wherein the offense will be marked and the fine indicated. Then the offenders will march up to the captain's office and pungle up. This may lead to a new line of talk over the telephone something like this:
"Hello, Bill, have you paid your fine this morning? Is this you, Helen? Yes. Say, how much did you get yesterday for stepping on the gas? Did you pay up? Oh, Gladys, did you see that new traffic cop—the one with a smile? Say, he's all right. How much was your last fine? Listen, Hortense, you know, I was in a hurry to get to that big bargain sale, and the mean cop tagged me. I went down and paid the fine this morning. It took all my loose change. I'll give you an I. O. U. till Saturday. Huh!"
HANG ONTO THEM, BOYS
PEOPLE who have invested money in property in the country west of here and contiguous to the seacoast have annexed something pretty good. The Long Beach harbor is a great magnet and, in the years to come, will see vessels there from the four points of the compass. Good real estate holdings are the best thing to own nowadays, and if you are sitting on an oil well, so much the better.
ROCKING THE BOAT
AN OPINION has been handed down by high authority that skippers on vessels flying the American flag on the high seas are illegal. There is nothing in the Constitution giving pilots the privilege, says the law official. So those who have had the knots tied out on the bounding main will have to go through the ordeal again on land; or if the high contracting parties believe they have made a mistake, they might just drift apart on the matrimonial sea.
WATCH YOUR STEP
APHYSICAL culture exponent says this generation will see men and women who will live to be 150 years of age. This advanced age of humans will be brought about through physical stimulation and hygiene. Scientists say that the

So those who have had the knots tied out on the bounding main will have to go through the ordeal again on land; or if the high contracting parties believe they have made a mistake, they might just drift apart on the matrimonial sea.
WATCH YOUR STEP
PHYSICAL culture exponent says this generation will see men and women who will live to be 150 years of age. This advanced age of humans will be brought about through physical development, sanitation and hygiene. Scientists say that the heart of the average human should last for 250 years, the lungs for 225 years and the stomach and other organs for about 200 years. A series of weight-lifting and bag-punching and setting-up exercises is the keynote to longer life. Early to bed and early to rise is good, provided you don't wait until after midnight to hit the hay.
PUT ON THE BRAKES
IT IS reliably reported that the savings in government expense effected by the federal government had been more than offset by increased expense of state and local governments in recent years. Government of all sorts in the United States costs the people of this country approximately $100 each during the year. Of this amount the federal government requires about $27, and the states require about $13, and city and county governments about $60.
Back in 1921, when the war expenses were still in process of trimming down, the federal government was spending almost $60 out of every $100 of the total government cost in the United States. Since that time it has almost cut its expenses in half, but the states and cities have just about doubled their outlay, and the total cost of being governed has gone upward, in spite of federal economies.
BURNING CANDLE AT BOTH ENDS
"OH, HE is such a mean, cruel man," bewailed a woman who is seeking her elusive husband with a warrant. "He left me almost destitute, and I know he is friendly with another woman. He pays her grocery bills and sends her watermelons and everything. Oh, I hope you catch him and put him in jail. What are poor defenseless women to do nowadays when their husbands turn sheiks and melt the hearts of other women with their veiled flattery and deceit? Oh, what am I to do? Please punish him—send him to prison—I don't want to see him again." And then the tears came thick and fast.
SNAKE STORY
AN OLD prospector says it is easy to shoot a rattlesnake, because when you point the barrel of the gun at the reptile he looks right into the muzzle and never takes his eye off from it. Then all you have to do is pull the trigger and there is one snake less.
ALARM CLOCKS GOING OUT
UP WITH the lark at the break of dawn is the jazzhound who tunes up his phonograph and gives the neighbors all the latest sleep-disturbers on the map. These squeaky solos have a tendency to make a fellow sit upright and wonder when patience ceases to be a virtue. They are great stuff, however, if you want to catch the first stage out.

ALARM CLOCKS GOING OUT
UP WITH the lark at the break of dawn is the jazzhound who tunes up his phonograph and gives the neighbors all the latest sleep-disturbers on the map. These squeaky solos have a tendency to make a fellow sit upright and wonder when patience ceases to be a virtue. They are great stuff, however, if you want to catch the first stage out. And there is another form of musical entertainment during the evening hours, when foot-players unlimber and you get the "Wild Irish Rose." This would not be so bad, but usually the head of the house raises his voice in song and tunes in to the canned piano accompaniment. They say it is cheaper to move than pay rent, and a lot of people feel like moving, even though they have never been accused of hiding out on the landlord on the first ultimo. These jazzy selections are enough to cause a fellow to take to drink, but he relaxes somewhat when he hears the lady sing "Love Me and the World Is Mine." The goose-flesh at times breaks out all over a guy who hits the hay early, but there comes a relaxation and a comfort of joy when he hears "Home Sweet Home," for he then knows that all that remains is for the guests to say good night and beat it.
THAT SHOWMAN WAS RIGHT
IT IS said quite frequently that American tourists who go visiting and sightseeing in a city in Europe (which, by the way, has the reputation of being wicked), are hissed, stoned and fleeced by the natives over there. But they seem to like it, and keep boring in for the rough stuff.
WELL, OF ALL THINGS!
A LADY went into a store and asked for a dozen oranges. "We do not handle them, lady, they cost too much." Now what do you know about that!
MA'S WORK IS NEVER DONE
A TITLED lady of England, now visiting here, says "if young girls misbehave it is the fault of the mothers and not of prohibition."
THE MASTER MIND
First Crook—I've been wonderin', Bill, how does a man get his own money out of a bank?
Second Crook—Easy. He Jes' forges his own name to de check.
A "NECKING" REFORM
"Do they stand for necking around here, colonel?"
"No, sah! There hasn't been a lynching in these parts for fohteen years, sah!"
Motorcycle Officer Seriously Injured
Frank Vaughn Bumped Into by Automobile Sunday
Frank Vaughn, state traffic officer, working out of Costa Mesa, was seriously injured at 7 o'clock Sunday night, when he was knocked from his motorcycle by an automobile said to have been driven by Charles M. O'Connor, 39, painter, 1639 Van Horn avenue, Los Angeles. The accident took place on the Newport highway, near Paulerino.
Vaughn was taken to the Orange county hospital, where it was said that he was suffering from a compound fracture of the left leg above the knee, a broken left arm, near the wrist, a dislocated finger and serious cuts and bruises about the body.
A specialist was brought to the hospital from Los Angeles to set the broken bones. Vaughn's injuries, although serious, are not expected to prove fatal.
O'Connor was arrested by State Officers Hurd and Barnhill, three hours after the accident, when he walked into the Santa Ana police station to report the accident. He is booked in the county jail for violation of the motor vehicle act and on suspicion of felony.
Orange County Fruit Now Going to Europe
With the assignment of 8400 boxes of Orange county citrus products to European ports from the Orange County Fruit Exchange and the Northern Orange County Fruit Exchange, a new market is thought to have been opened for California fruits.
Loading of 5400 boxes of Valencia oranges and 1200 boxes of grapefruit aboard the S.S. Lackkatrine as the initial shipment to the exchanges' agent in London is now being completed. A second shipment of 1800 boxes of Valencia oranges will be made August 26. Other shipments are expected, according to L. D. Palmer, exchange official.

Heretofore, the greatest problem of trans-oceanic shipments of citrus fruits has been refrigeration. However, the boats on which the local fruit is being shipped have been especially equipped with suitable refrigeration compartments, it is said.
JOPLIN FOR TREASURER
J. C. Joplin is looked upon by those who know him as a symbol of old-fashioned honesty and integrity.
"He doesn't even have a crooked thought," said an old friend. "His honesty and dependability are proverbial in Orange county. When anyone wants to say a man's integrity is beyond question he can't say more than, 'Why, he's as honest as J. C. Joplin.'"
Joplin has handled millions upon millions of dollars, and the county has never lost a cent. It is a remarkable record.
Expert accountants hired by each succeeding grand jury have gone over Joplin's accounts, figure by figure, and the office has always been found to be in good shape. It is in just as fine shape today as it ever was, and no taxpayer could ask or expect any betterment by making a change in county treasurers.
Joplin has lived in this county for more than half a century. He is of the old-fashioned type we delight to honor, and he deserves re-election on that score as well as upon his record as treasurer.—Authorized Publicity.

Cool for Summer Cooking!
GAS is the ideal fuel for cool summer cooking. A turn of the valve gives you an instant flame and another turn shuts it off.
There can be no hot, stuffy kitchen where a Gas Range is used. The Oven Heat Control regulates the heat, preventing an excessive use of gas.
Controlled heat, a feature of the modern Gas Range, keeps your kitchen as cool as a cucumber.
