Gasoline Tax to Build Highways Nearly $10,000,000 to Be Added to Road Fund Annually Enactment into the law of a new state highway program by the legislature means that road development throughout this section will proceed in a more rapid and systematic manner than during previous years. Assurance is given that all roads now in the state highway system will be completed. Briefly, the new laws provide for the raising of eight to ten million dollars annually through an additional 1-cent tax on gasoline for new construction work, and that the funds thus raised will be equitably distributed. It is generally recognized among proponents of good roads that the two highway bills passed by the legislature are compromise measures embracing the best features of the several road programs advocated in the past. Under the new legislation, the funds raised for new construction will be divided 75 per cent for construction of roads in the primary system, and 25 per cent for such construction in the so-called secondary roads. Under the provisions of the law, nearly one-half of the funds will go to the completion of the state roads in Southern California. This is a situation long sought by this section, as under the old laws only about one-third of the new highway funds were spent in the 13 southern counties. The Automobile Club of Southern California, county supervisorial boards, and other advocates of better highways have long battled for the recognition just recently accorded by the legislation. Although the additional 1-cent gasoline tax was defeated at the polls last November by Southern California votes, it is believed that the principal reason for the defeat was the failure of the proposed measure to allocate the funds definitely to the projects needed to round out the state system, which is corrected in the new legislature. N. T. Edwards of Orange, former state highway commissioner, and Mrs. Edwards, their daughter, Miss Maybelle Edwards; Mrs. W. E. Clement, wife of W. E. Clement, city trustee, and Mrs. Willis Mitchell of Santa Ana left on board the S.S. Columbia from San Pedro Monday for New York, via the Panama canal, Havana and Florida. Upon the arrival of the party in New York, Miss Edwards will embark for Europe. Mrs. Clement and Mrs. Mitchell will arrange a tour to South America. Mr. and Mrs. Edwards will be absent several months. Mrs. J. W. Truxaw and Mrs. William Dolan entertained at a bridge party at the home of the former on South Los Angeles street on Thursday afternoon. Mrs. J. L. Havener won the first prize. Mrs. Harry Campbell, the second; Mrs. W. J. Bradley, the third; and Miss Winifred Melrose, the fourth. The S.Q.R.

In fact, it is doubtful tions governing any meet contain so many prevent unfairness as being packing content. Not only will the jury from different packing know how the packer has thus eliminating any partiality being shown. The contest will be following points: special appearance, twice compactness and cost Three boxes will be used winner, with each box separately.

In fact, it is doubtful if any regulations governing any major athletic meet contain so many provisions to prevent unfairness as do those governing the packing contest. Not only will the judges be selected from different packing plants, but they will know the packer by a number only, thus eliminating any possibility of partiality being shown. The contest will be judged on the following points: speed, neatness, general appearance, twist, wrap, prints, compactness and complete coverage. Three boxes will be used in picking the winner, with each box being timed separately. Each packing plant is required to furnish its own boxes, which must conform in size to standard railroad containers. The oranges used in the contest will be 216s. Each plant is entitled to enter a team of two packers, the members to be bona fide packers of the house they represent and must have been on the payroll for a period of at least four weeks previous to the date of the contest. The rules also provide that the winning team must be selected in elimination contests conducted under the supervision of official timers only. That some unusually high scores will be made during the contest can be readily seen from the score totalled by the first entrant, Miss Constance Estrada of the W. H. Schureman plant. In an eight-hour day Miss Estrada packed 118 boxes, each box holding 216 oranges, or a total of 25,488 oranges. This means that during the eight hours Miss Estrada handled one orange every two seconds. To those uninitiated in the art of packing oranges, the work may appear easy, but when it is realized that packing means, selecting the fruit from the bins, wrapping it in tissue paper, the firmly twisted that the project had been started only five years ago by the Southern California Conference of the Methodist Episcopal church purely on faith and with no assets beyond a small tract at Huntington Beach, which was heavily mortgaged. Dr. Charles H. Scott, one of the originators of the Pacific Palisades Association and its first president, predicted that in its realization the Pacific Palisades enterprise will be three times as successful as was first anticipated. Among the Anaheim people who attended the Founders' Day celebration were Dr. and Mrs. B. S. Haywood. Southern California Athletic Activities Following competition in the Washington relays at Seattle and the West Coast relays at Fresno last Saturday afternoon, the Southern California track team will take a week's rest before continuing the season's activities. The next meet for the Trojans is May 14, when the Cardinal and Gold team clashes with the Los Angeles Athletic Club squad. The Mercury Club team is one of the strongest in the country. Last year this outfit defeated Stanford, and this year walked over California. The team is well balanced and is a likely winner from the Trojans. Following this meet, Coach Dean Cromwell's men leave here May 12 for the National Intercollegiate in Philadelphia, May 27 and 28, and then return to Los Angeles for the Pacific Coast Intercollegiate, June 3 and 4. Charles Paddock and Charles Borah will not meet in the sprints this season—maybe never again. Paddock has announced that he will hang up his spikes for the present year because of lack of opportunity to train. Last year when Borah was a freahman at Southern California, he led "world's fastest human" for 98 yards of Paddock's record. 9.5 seconds century race. The former Trojan captain won from Borah by lunging at the tape. Judges said Borah was only four inches behind. Fans expected to see the two repeat their race May 14, when the Trojans meet the Los Angeles Athletic Club. Borah has run 9.6 seconds this time.

To those uninitiated in the art of packing oranges, the work may appear easy, but when it is realized that packing means selecting the fruit from the bins, wrapping it in tissue paper, the ends of which must be firmly twisted so that the wrappers will not come undone in transit, and last, placing the orange in the box in a neat and orderly manner, it is not such a simple matter as it appears. Orange packing is fast being recognized as an art requiring the utmost training, and many of the individuals in the packing industry have spent years in training their present-day proficiency. It was with this thought in mind, combined with the additional benefits gained by the packing industry through arousing additional interest in the business, that the officials of the California Valencia Orange Show decided to hold the contest and, in order to make it a yearly feature, posted a perpetual challenge trophy for packing houses and valuable prizes for the individual winner.
