Real Estate Study By Correspondence University of Southern California Giving Instruction by Mail Property owners, real estate brokers and salesmen, those preparing to enter the real estate field, community builders, and investors who wisely wish to protect their investments, are already among 400 real estate correspondence students of the University of Southern California, according to the fall report of S. H. Van Dusen, head of the correspondence study department, 1306 Transportation building, Los Angeles. Based on California law and practice, 26 lessons by mail include encumbrances, mortgages, taxation and assessments, appraisals, escrows, fire insurance, contracts, financing a home, residential property and subdivisions, business and industrial property, trust deeds, land economics, farm property, dairying, city planning and zoning, leases and rentals, relation of broker-buyer-seller, listing, accounts, decisions, advertising and investments. The University of Southern California offers correspondence study in real estate, suited to the mature mind, to meet the demands of those who wish to secure training without leaving their business, feeling that the real estate broker ranks among the most enterprising business men, is a leader in progressive movements, realizes the value of being acquainted with technical details connected with handling real property, and knows that the most informed man is the most successful. ULTIMATUM GIVEN MEXICO Complete severance of diplomatic relations with Mexico impends. Secretary of State Kellogg gives a virtual ultimatum to the government of Mexico to this effect. In vigorously protesting the proposed operation of farm-land and oil laws, scheduled to go into effect January 1 and which would dispossess Americans of properties valued at $1,000,000,000. Secretary Kellogg gives Mexico to understand that this course, persisted in by Mexico, would lead to withdrawal of recognition by the United Automobile Notes The ancient tradition that 13 is unlucky has been shattered by the Automobile Club of Southern California, according to its members in this vicinity, who are recalling that the club celebrated its twenty-sixth birthday anniversary last Monday. History records that on December 13, 1900, some 46 proud owners of "horseless carriages" filed articles of incorporation for an automobile club. In contrast to conditions today, the drivers of the one-lungers of 1900 had no paved roads, no auto camps, no garages or filling stations, and their machines chugging along the dusty roads were about as popular with the average citizen as a certain small furry animal that resembles a kitten but smells worse than gasoline. The club in those days was a social organization, and one of the events of the season was a club run. This usually was on the week-end, and those participating would attempt to make 30 miles one day, and get back the next, but as a rule only about half of them made the jaunt successfully. After 26 years the club has a membership of approximately 122,000 with offices in 31 cities in the 13 counties of Southern California. It performs every service for members that the motorist requires, and has been the leading factor in this section in promoting good roads, same legislation, reasonable insurance rates, safety on the highways, and in extending courtesies to visiting motorists. Congratulations are being received by the big motoring organization from all sections of the country, as it has thousands of well-wishers throughout the east who have enjoyed its courteses while motoring in California. Indicating clearly that traffic accidents increase in proportion to a reduction of police activity against fast and reckless drivers. E. B. Lefferts, safety engineer of the club, has just submitted his first accident chart in a traffic survey being made by him for San Diego. Members of the city's committee in charge of improving the traffic situation have expressed approval of the chart, and declared it to be valuable evidence that an unremitting campaign A COST Rushing rain on the fields of the away $200,000,000 material every year much as is pernit the farmers' crop soil scientist of the department of agriculture at approximately compared to only permanently rest plant-material; more addition to this top soil are carried leaving in many infertile and one to till.

Secretary of State Kellogg gives a virtual ultimatum to the government of Mexico to this effect. In vigorously protesting the proposed operation of farm-land and oil laws, scheduled to go into effect January 1 and which would dispossess Americans of properties valued at $1,000,000,000. Secretary Kellogg gives Mexico to understand that this course, persisted in by Mexico, would lead to withdrawal of recognition by the United States. The United States government denounces as confiscatory and wholly unjust, inequitable and indefensible, the anti-alien land and oil laws, which are directed chiefly at Americas who have holdings in Mexico. These laws, in letter and in spirit, are held by the Washington government to be utterly in defiance of the understanding on which the United States government recognized the Obregon government in 1923. Besides this threatened flagrant disregard of American rights in Mexico, the Mexican government is accused of fomenting insurrection in Nicaragua, in attempts to destroy the power and influence of the United States there and to set up Mexican domination over the Central American republics. This offensive course on the part of Mexico has added to the tension between this country and the neighbor republic. Some may criticize as sordid and commercialistic the attitude and the demands of the United States government with reference to oil and land rights held by Americans in Mexico. But this criticism is not justified by facts. Property, lawfully obtained and rightly held, is sacred in domestic law, and must be held just as sacred as international law. Otherwise, the world would be full of injustice, inequality, confiscation and rulous proceedings affecting Americans and other nationals who invest in foreign lands. If the government of Mexico cannot be trusted to protect Americans in their legitimate property rights in Mexico, it cannot be entrusted to function in other points and on other questions affecting the rights, possessions and safety of Americans. The administration of President Calles has made serious mistakes of late. It has proceeded with high hand in its domestic policies and has bred so much discontent that a formidable insurrection seems to be imminent. The crowning folly of all, on the part of the Mexican government, would be to defy the United States and to precipitate a severance of diplomatic relations. Mexico stands in the light of its own interests when it antagonizes America and Americans. WHERE WATER IS VITAL This case in itself is dramatic enough. It finds, arrayed on one side of the dispute the state of Wisconsin, which objects to threatened lowering of the water of the lake, and on the other side the state of Illinois which wants to keep the east who have enjoyed its courtesies while motoring in California. Indicating clearly that traffic accidents increase in proportion to a reduction of police activity against fast and reckless drivers. E. B. Lefferts, safety engineer of the club, has just submitted his first accident chart in a traffic survey being made by him for San Diego. Members of the city's committee in charge of improving the traffic situation have expressed approval of the chart, and declared it to be valuable evidence that an unremitting campaign against fast and reckless driving should be waged. Records of the past two years' accidents and police arrests of automobile operators are graphically shown on the chart, which is declared to be conclusive proof that there is close relation between the auto death rate and police activity against speeders. Whenever police activity in the southern city has been great, according to the chart, deaths and injuries from auto accidents have slumped. Lefferts is to be in San Diego for a month or more on his check of traffic conditions. At present he is working on the causes of accidents and also to determine the specific locations of most of the accidents. Plans to decrease danger at certain hazardous intersections will be formulated, it is stated. HIGHWAY BUILDING Highways nearly long enough to circle the earth have been constructed during 1925-26 by the highways departments of the federal government and the several states. Approximately $483,000,000 is being spent for road work. Between 30,000 and 40,000 miles of surfaced roads have been built each year since 1921. Under the Federal Aid Act, the total cost of highways completed up to July 1, 1923, was $549,-655,000 of which the federal government paid $237,852,000. These highways are 32,452 miles long. Projects completed since July 1, 1924, cost $44,709,000 of which the federal government paid $21,291,000. The length of this section of highway is 2543 miles. TATTOOED HOGS The tattoo method of marking hogs developed by the United States department of agriculture is proving successful at the Kansas City stockyards and its trade territory. Following a trial of approximately six months, R. L. Cuff, livestock commissioner of the Kansas City Livestock Exchange said: "We have demonstrated to our satisfaction that tattooing is a feasible and practicable method of identifying hogs. When hogs can be driven through a narrow chute about 24 inches wide, tattoo marks can be applied as they walk through. One day I saw a packer driver tattoo a lot of 64 hogs in less than three minutes. All tattoo marks were legible on the carcasses."

It finds, arrayed on one side of the dispute the state of Wisconsin, which objects to threatened lowering of the water of the lake, and on the other side the state of Illinois, which must protect the Chicago drainage district in its undertaking. But Wisconsin is supported morally and legally by Minnesota, which has a Lake Superior frontage; by Indiana, which has a Lake Michigan frontage; by Ohio, which has a Lake Erie line, and by Pennsylvania and by New York, which border on Ontario. Illinois is aided by Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi—all of them being states bordering on the Mississippi river, and so anxious that the flow of water into that stream in seasons of low water shall be raised, in order to further river traffic. It is a struggle for water. The fight for water is not alone to be seen in the arid west. The level of the Great Lakes is lowering year by year. Whether by natural causes, or by reduction in the seasonal rainfall, is questioned. But this great group of states needs water, is fighting for water, and each is determined that the states on the other side shall not have the water they want. Ravenna, in northern Italy, was once the capital of the known world. Now it is a sleepy little town, with buildings that no one occupies and businesses that are maintained largely because men have read about happened in the town two thousand years ago. Why this change? Principally because Ravenna was then on the Adriatic sea. Now the sea is six miles away, and traffic goes elsewhere instead of Ravenna. What would happen to Milwaukee if Chicago lowered the level of Lake Michigan ten feet? Or to Cleveland?

A COSTLY BATH Rushing rain water sweeping over the fields of the United States carries away $200,000,000 worth of plant-food material every year, or 20 times as much as is permanently removed by the farmers' crops, says H. H. Bennett, soil scientist of the United States department of agriculture. This annual loss of plant-food material is estimated at approximately 126,000,000 pounds as compared to only 5,900,000,000 pounds permanently removed by crops. In plant-material, millions of tons of rich addition to this enormous waste of top soil are carried out to sea annually, leaving in many instances a soil very infertile and one that is more difficult to till. There is immediate need, says Mr. Bennett, for fundamental soil data relating to erosion, for demonstrations far and wide of the effectiveness of properly built terraces, and for much national education about this menacing agency of land devastation. GASOLINE TAX A total of 3,560,987,580 gallons were taxed during the first six months of 1926. All of the states, except Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York imposed a gasoline tax, the rate ranging from one to five cents, with an average of 2.39 cents per gallon. An additional 856,450,000 gallons, it is estimated, were consumed in the four states in which the tax is not collected. Since 19,697,832 motor vehicles were registered in the six months' period, the gasoline consumption per vehicle averaged 225 gallons. ROADS FOR FUTURE Although motor vehicle registrations and highway traffic have increased enormously in recent years and will doubtless continue to increase, highway officials do not fear the development of a general condition of congestion or any breakdown in the roads constructed because of the increased traffic, according to the United States department of agriculture. Highway research and experience have developed types of pavement fully capable of withstanding present and expected future traffic. MUCH MEAT Banner Produce Co.

Highway research and experience have developed types of pavement fully capable of withstanding present and expected future traffic. MUCH MEAT Noteworthy recent developments in the meat situation have been an increase in the beef supply and a decrease in pork production. Since 1921 beef supplies have risen steadily each year. In 1925 the total production of 7,146,000,000 pounds was almost exactly 1,000,000,000 pounds larger than the total for 1921. The enormous pork production in 1923 and in 1924 fell off more than 1,000,000,000 pounds in 1925, which means that upward of 10,000,000 fewer hogs were slaughtered in that year than in either 1923 or 1924. ALL BUT THE "SQUEAL" Raising domestic rabbits for meat and fur is a rapidly growing industry in this country, says the biological survey of the United States department of agriculture, and the question of the most profitable disposition of the wastes is one of sufficient importance to challenge the attention of scientists. As in the case of packing house wastes, part of the discarded material is recoverable as grease, part as dried blood, and the greater part as tankage or ammoniate fertilizer.
