OBSERVATIONS BY A CONTRIBUTOR CAN'T EAT YOUR CAKE AND HAVE IT NOWADAYS men and women complain about this and that and believe the world is cruel and cold, but they should pause—in other words, stop, look and listen. Taxes are high, that is true; but look at what you are getting for your money. Years ago a man was content to go out in mud and slush knee deep and milk his cows and deliver his product to the customers in an old spring wagon drawn by an old hay-burner. Now it's different. In the early days children walked many miles to school. Now that's different. You ride in expensive cars over smooth pavements and pass modern school buildings that cost lots of money, derived through bond issues. You have modern buildings to live in and have servants to wait upon you. A person will drive 100 miles now to see the sights, and there are many speed cops on the roads, whereas years ago he was content to straddle the back fence and swap yarns with his neighbor. City and county governments need more money to keep the wheels grinding, and the country is settling up fast. People are living differently now than they did twenty years ago, or even ten years past. Men and women wear fine clothes now, and the housewife telephones for the butter and eggs and meat and groceries. And there are plenty of people who don't like to work very much, preferring to let the other fellow do it. But, by golly, even so, there seems to be too many deputies who have a hard time to keep from stepping on each other. Then there's the lipstick and the rouge, the face lifting and the midnight oil, and those who lived and had their being here a quarter of a century ago would turn over if they heard the radio and the jazz and the whatnots. Yep, things are different now. SALUBRIOUS SOUTHLAND A METEOROLOGICAL authority says the latitude of this country, mountains and the Pacific ocean, with its warm currents, are named as prime factors in the cosmic benevolence that has smiled on California. These are abetted also, it is said, by the forests and other vegetation and by early condensation. It is also related that moisture from forest fires has been known to generate rain clouds, which put out the fire, but such a method is too expensive to be practical and too unusual to be dependable.

BUCK UP—LOOSEN UP FOR SANTA CLAUS HOLIDAY buying over most of the nation will surpass all previous records and 1927 will be launched on the crest of a flood of prosperity, is the way one red-blooded optimist sums up the situation. Financial circles are elated over the outlook for industry all over the country, particularly in California. One of the reasons for this confidence out West is based on the fact that trade indices, especially in the southern part of the state, stand out well above those for the nation as a whole, indicating conditions are about two jumps ahead of the tide of prosperity. TIME TO DITCH THAT LANTERN A HUSBAND, the other day, was so excited when he met up with his wife that he left a handbag containing jewels—a young fortune in value—upon the running board of another man's car. But this man was right, and the gems were handed over to the owner. OUT LOOKING IN FOUR bright girls were in town the other day, coming all the way from the seaboard on the other side. They travel in one of those poor man's friends, and are running on schedule. The young women have adopted this long journey across the continent, seeking an education and meeting up with all kinds of people. One of the girls says this gives them practical experience. They intend later to enter college. The hikers will write magazine articles of their experiences, telling of the personalities of the ordinary humans whom they chance to meet on their travels. When asked whether they were not afraid of being kidnapped, or might break into the movies, the girls laughed and said an emphatic "no." Their journey is full of adventure, and the girls say they treat people as they would be treated and they get along fine and dandy. GETTING IT STRAIGHT THE dry army has been drilled by a high prohibition enforcement agent, and officers have been told to be frank and straightforward, must not use threatening and insulting methods. And agents are also told in plain language that they must not stop automobiles except for unquestionable reasons, indicating that the car is engaged in illicit practice. These rules must be obeyed. WHEN THE GHOST WALKED GETTING IT STRAIGHT THE dry army has been drilled by a high prohibition enforcement agent, and officers have been told to be frank and straightforward, must not use threatening and insulting methods. And agents are also told in plain language that they must not stop automobiles except for unquestionable reasons, indicating that the car is engaged in illicit practice. These rules must be obeyed. WHEN THE GHOST WALKED AN ACTRESS divorced her husband the other day because, as she alleged, he lacked appreciation of her art. When she played the piano, he suggested that she go out and run the lawnmower. And when she desired to attend a concert, he suggested she stay at home and wash the dishes, and he crabbed when she wanted in on the pay check. AMONG THOSE PRESENT WHENEVER any given number of persons assemble together, such as a large gathering in public places, there is sure also to be on hand a coterie of the light-fingered gentry. This species usually work in pairs, and, while unbidden, they never present their cards or other credentials of good faith. They resemble the eel, for they are slippery. They handle themselves with neatness and dispatch and sit pretty wherever there is a jam. It matters not if your bankroll is in the hip pocket or snugly concealed in the inside vest receptacle, these nomads usually extract the billfold. They are no respecters of persons and all victims look alike. They can spot a walking safety box a block away, by the manner in which the owner thereof conducts himself. If a fellow at times deftly feels in his pocket to reassure himself his savings are safe, he might as well send a telegram, for the dips have their eyes on him, and they know. Anybody who carries his wad with him should know better, especially when he attends a public Hallowe'en street party, and the better way would be to get a deposit slip from any of the bank clerks. One artisan says he lost sixty perfectly good American dollars the other evening, and while that sets him back two weeks, he has a job and is able to work, and he says he might as well forget it and kiss the currency goodbye, but he thinks the man who touched him should in the jailhouse lie. Production of Autos Breaks All Records Nearly Four Million New Cars Turned Out in 1925 What will the crop of new motor vehicles be for 1926? With the end of the year in sight, speculation is being indulged in on the total production for the year. Figures on file at the Automobile Club of Southern California show that the 1925 production established a new record and showed a gain of 19 per cent over 1924. During the 12 months' period there were produced 3,838,000 cars and 492,000 trucks. Of the cars, 56 per cent were of the enclosed type, and it is believed that the 1926 production will show even a larger percentage. The wholesale value of all cars and trucks of last year's production totaled $3,000,000,000. Parts and accessories totaled another billion, and tires reached $55,750,000. Uncle Sam was interested in this production to the extent of $126,-582,000. This represents the special federal excise taxes paid to the government by the industry, in 1925, which was added to the retail price of the cars. The average retail price for cars was $866 and for truck, $1250. Comparing the automobile industry with other large enterprises of the country, some interesting figures are noted. Automobiles have absorbed 84 per cent of all the rubber consumed in the United States. One-half of all plate glass manufactured in the country goes into motor cars, and 65 per cent of all upholstery leather used in the country goes into automobiles. That motor vehicles are co-ordinating with steam and electrical traffic is indicated by the fact that there are 251 street car companies in the United States using motor busses, and twenty of the steam railroads have adopted motor transportation as an auxiliary to their main lines. The United States absorbed most of the new production of automobiles, only 12.2 per cent being exported last year, and of the 24,600,000 motor vehicles registered in the world, the Buick Solves Problem With Balanced Wheels "Every autoist knows that in the average wheel there is an unbalanced side where the valve and valve stem are located. The effect which this unbalanced weight has on the riding qualities of the car has only recently been made the subject of investigation," said George F. Howard "this morning, in commenting on how the Buick Motor Company solved the problem of unbalanced wheels by counter-balancing the valves and stems in all four wheels in the 1927 models recently introduced. An automotive publication recently made the question of balanced wheels an editorial subject. It said: "Balancing of road wheels is to the fore just now, a refinement of seemingly needless delicacy, on the face of it. But remembering the erratic pull of a weight suspended from a string and swung rapidly in circles, not so foolish after all. As a matter of fact, a state of unbalance in a wheel equivalent to a weight of half a pound concentrated on the rim, exerts a pull of something like 28 puctions when the wheel is turning at a rate corresponding to 40 miles an hour. A 28-pound centrifugal pull on the wheel may be the root of several evils—shimmy" and "tramping," principally. While a similar unbalanced condition in all four wheels may produce oddities in riding performance that are the most difficult to explain. "It isn't that the thing in itself necessarily amounts to very much, that makes it important, but that it is one of those comparatively minor improvements that in the aggregate account for marked advance in performance. The time has come when manufacturers can no longer afford to neglect the little things. For if any manufactured product is the consummation of carefully worked out detail, it is the automobile." "We would be very glad to have the people come in." Mr. Howard said, "and have not only this feature, but the many other new ones explained to them, and that no one would be under any obligation in doing so." That motor vehicles are co-ordinating with steam and electrical traffic is indicated by the fact that there are 251 street car companies in the United States using motor buses, and twenty of the steam railroads have adopted motor transportation as an auxiliary to their main lines. The United States absorbed most of the new production of automobiles, only 12.2 per cent being exported last year, and of the 24,600,000 motor vehicles registered in the world, the United States contains approximately 20,000,000, or 81 per cent of them. Southern California has more automobiles in proportion to population than any other section in the world.

Howard ANAHEIM and FULLERTON 128 S. L. A. St. 201 S. Spadra Phone 354 Phone 905 Dope points to a Notre Dame victory, and the Irish have been established as a 2 to 1 favorite here in the home town of the Trojans. The Southern players themselves are worrying little over these odds; in fact it pleases them, for it is the first time in two seasons that Troy has had the pleasure of being the underdog. The Trojans have an impressive record this year. The only defeat was the one-point margined affair with Stanford. Five other Pacific Conference foes have been met and defeated. Three non-conference affairs have also gone to the Trojans. Coach Howard Jones has a veteran squad which comprises 15 seniors. Only two sophomores are on the starting lineup, and one of these is only subbing for Morley Drury, star half-back, who is now nursing a lame knee. Southern California may have two instead of one All-American prospect after the Notre Dame game. If advance dope is to be followed, Capt. Jeff Cravath has only to outplay Bud Boeringer, Irish center, to win the nomination. After the Notre Dame Irish game experts were of the opinion that the Notre Dame center is the greatest in the United States. If Cravath can outplay this man his All-American berth, which many claimed he would win at the start of the season, is almost assured. Cravath may turn the trick, for he has not met a superior in two years. Captain Griffen of Iowa was mentioned as an All-American last year until he met Cravath, who was nearly 50 pounds lighter than Griffen. The other Trojan slated for All-American honors is Morton Kaer, the slippery Trojan horseman who is stamming the Pacific coast into songs of praise about him. Fifteen Southern California gridmen will be in the last game of their career on December 4, when they meet Notre Dame in Los Angeles. Eight of these will be in the starting line-up. Both wingmen are winding up three years and a fresh season of competition. They are Al Behrendt and Morris Badgro. Kenneth Cox finishes his final season at one tackle. Ted Gorrell and Brice Taylor, guards, are both seniors, as is Capt. Jeff Cravath at center. Morton Kaer, quarter, and Manuel Laraneta, full, are the graduating back field men who will start the game. Besides these there are: Field Thompson, half; Bob Lee, full; Gene Dorsey, end; Bill Friend, tackle; Clarke De Groote, guard; Don Cruickshank, tackle, and Lloyd Hershberger, guard. All are lettermen. Maybe there wouldn't be so much cheating if the married men were compelled to wear license plates the same as automobiles are. Well the International disarmament conference at Geneva has failed, but it wasn't due to lack of advertising. French wine makers are said to be hopeful that the success of Al Smith and the wet referendum in New York will soon lead to the exportation of champagne from France to America. Which shows just how well these Europeans understand America. Both the wets and drys were satisfied with the result of the election, which is more than can be said of the Republicans and Democrats.
