OBSERVATIONS BY A CONTRIBUTOR WESTWARD HO! WELL informed men say that the season promises to be the busiest that Southern California has ever experienced from the standpoint of tourist travel to this region. It is said the height of the season when wintry blasts propel easterners in this direction is about to open. Every day brings new and increasingly large crowds of tourists and sightseers to this Southland. It is related that eastern travelers who used to withstand the lure of Southern California until the springtime are really coming in now. KEEP THE HOME FIRES BURNING A SPEAKER at a luncheon the other day told his audience that the present industrial development in Southern California will serve as a nucleus for that to come, and instead of shipping raw materials east, they in time will be converted into manufactured products here near the source, and then distributed at a tremendous saving in transportation rates. This tendency on the part of the west to ship its raw products east for conversion into the finished articles and then paying the freight rates back was characterized by the speaker as one of the most farcical things in the economic scheme. EVERYBODY ROLLING HIS OWN THE complexities of nature are being augmented by a premier of a foreign land. An edict has been issued over there, providing for an annual tax on a progressive scale to be exacted from males between the ages of 25 and 65 who do not marry. It is declared that country is prolific and so intends to remain. The tax so raised is to be used by a national organization for the maternity and infancy. It is expected that there will be quite a rush of the men folks to venture out on the matrimonial sea in order to sidestep this extra tax, and no doubt all will sing, "Rockabye baby on the treetop," et cetera. ALL DEPENDS ON HOW YOU'RE RAISED WHEN a person tells you that he plunges into a bathtub of cold water upon arising from a farm bed, you look at him askance, if it's in the good old summer time; but when the aforesaid person also says each morning, after a few calisthenics, he dives into that bathtub of icy water when it's cold and frosty and the The tax so raised is to be used by a national organization for the maternity and infancy.

But these things happen here. A man who can be lied upon for truth and veracity says this is just what he has been doing for years and continues to do so. Sure, the water is cold, but after a brisk rubdown he takes the road and steps off a mile or two out in the open and is then ready for the nosebag. He goes forth feeling fine and dandy and never gets a "cold" and always feels well. By the way, it is of record that some men take a bath once a week, whether they need it or not, while it is hinted some never do; but whether these cold ablutions, when the frost is on the pumpkin, will ever take hold of all of us is problematical. MAN'S BEST FRIEND UP IN Alaska a malmute dog crossed a 3000-foot pass in the Brooks mountains at night with the mercury 40 degrees below zero, carrying a scribbled note to his master's cabin. The note around the husky's neck read: "Come, both injured." The two unfortunate men were later rescued.

It is proposed to connect Death Valley with a transcontinental railway, and modern hotel accommodations overlooking the valley will be provided. Death Valley lies 276 feet below sea level, in Inyo county, and is said to be the lowest depression in the United States. It has been made famous as the location of borax deposits and as a hidden source of wealth. The valley is known for its intolerable summer heat, and sightseers and tourists will venture there only in the winter time, when it is said the local climate is delightful. THRESHING OUT OLD STUFF A NEW system of getting away with the other fellow's belongings has just been radioed from a big town up the boulevard. For instance, a well dressed man and a stylishly robed woman will breeze in and rent a furnished house, and then when nobody is looking they will move out, taking everything with them, including the cook stove. Another way to get jewelry has also come to light. The holdup man gads about, and when he sees a woman full of gems sitting in a car, he get aboard and, after driving to an out of the way place, takes possession of the valuables. The other day a woman was robbed of $35,000 worth of jewelry in that manner. But jimmy crickets, why in the name of common sense does a woman want to roam around with $35,000 worth of jewelry hanging around her neck? DETOUR—BRIDGE OUT! A MAN living at Orange, whom it is said is a weather prophet, says: "Mark my word, the last day of February, 1927, will see Santiago creek and the Santa Ana river running bank to bank with flood waters, hail in Anaheim, and snow in the mountains." This man based his assertions on 44 years' residence in Orange county. According to him, snow and hail fell all through the Santa Ana valley and in Los Angeles 44 years ago Christmas day. The sight of snow in the lowlands of Southern California so astonished him, he said, that he began studying the weather conditions very closely. Today this forecaster can tell accurately the future condition of the weather, according to many old-timers in the local district. SAVE THE FLOWERS FELLOWS who take a chance with bootleg liquor should think twice, or perhaps three times, before letting it guzzle down their throats. It is said poison is put in the potion as a warning, before the curbstone vendor slips it to the consumer, and it is dangerous, to say the least, to put it under your belt. Better try it out on the dog first. SAVE THE FLOWERS FELLOWS who take a chance with bootleg liquor should think twice, or perhaps three times, before letting it guzzle down their throats.

TRAVELLING LIGHT IT IS said riding the rods on the big choo-choo cars has been tabooed by the genteel American hobo, who now prefers to ride more safely in the cushioned seat of a limousine or a flivver when he gets a lift. And, in consequence, women hobos are becoming more numerous. THE WIDE OPEN SPACES A WOMAN up state is suing a man for $7590 damages, alleging she was without her closed coupe for several days while the vehicle was under his attachment. The lady says she had been compelled to ride on street cars, and caught a bad cold, thus injuring her health to the extent of the figure quoted. And besides, her temperament was impaired by hanging onto a strap. Plans Field Tour of County Windbreaks During the past three or four years over twelve miles of new windbreaks have been planted in various sections of Orange county for the protection of orchards against wind exposure. The principal varieties used for this purpose are the eucalyptus, Monterey, cypress and Athel. The wind storm of last month precipitated a number of problems relating to proper handling of young breaks, according to Farm Advisor Wahlberg. Certain precautions in pruning, heading and staking the young trees should be recognized by the grower, and to this end the agricultural extension service is planning a field tour which will visit a number of typical windbreaks. Opportunity will be given to study desirable practices in the maintenance of windbreaks. The state extension forester will be one of the speakers. The tour will be held Tuesday, February 8. Further announcement will be made concerning details. Speaking of color schemes they are now trying to enforce the blue laws in Orange, N. J., while a majority of the population is determined to paint the town red.
