Exhaust Gas Proven Harmless to Trees Some time ago there was a great clamor to the effect that trees in Central park, New York, were being gradually destroyed by the fumes from automobile exhausts. But along came a famous and well-regarded tree doctor and made an inspection. After looking into the matter thoroughly, the doctor decided that a small microscopic spider was causing the defoliation and that carbon monoxide from car exhausts had nothing whatever to do with the condition of the trees. Now motorizing is going on as usual in the Central park district, and a fight is being waged against the little spider that caused all the trouble. AID TO BATTERY USERS Felt washers, well saturated with oil and placed around the battery posts will permanently prevent corrosion of battery posts and terminals. Cut two pieces of felt about two and one-half inches in diameter with three-quarter inch center holes. Press these washers down over the posts and saturate with oil. Put on the clamps, tighten down against washers and secure clamp bolts. The washers should be saturated with oil each time the battery is inspected and as long as the washers are moist, acid from the battery cannot attack the posts and corrosion will be eliminated. An old felt hat makes excellent washers. This useful information comes from Mr. J. J. Hunt, local Western Auto Supply Company manager. Banner Produce Co.

Quarton, Mr. and Favor Newspapers For Advertising Building and Loan Institutions Show Huge Increase Newspaper advertising was recommended as the best method of telling the public—most effective and economical—in an address by A. A. Anderson of Los Angeles, secretary of the Pacific Coast Building Loah Association at the Pacific States Savings and Loan conference at Portland, Ore., on Tuesday. Urgging that the building loan associations of the United States should have a fund of at least $1,000,000 to carry on a consistent, nationwide advertising campaign, Mr. Anderson told of the results obtained by a six months' cooperative campaign by the building loan associations of Southern California at a monthly cost of $2000, the larger portion of which was for newspaper space. "According to data compiled from the state commissioner's report," said Anderson, "the building loan associations in Los Angeles, where most of the advertising was done, showed an increase in assets during the first six months of the co-operative advertising campaign of $10,948,887, or an 89 per cent increase over the increase for the six months period immediately preceding the campaign. "The data also shows that the 103 associations in Southern California during the first six months of the campaign showed an increase in assets of $22,740,528, which was a gain of 46 percent over the growth recorded for the previous six months. "All advertising mediums are valuable," he said, "but the one medium which reaches all classes of people and brings the greatest results for the amount expended is the newspaper."

FLOOD CONTROL F. A. Yungbluth, president of the Anaheim flood control committee; Engineer Lathrop of the Southern Pacific Railway Company, O. E. Steward, E. P. Hapgood, city engineer, and George W. Reid went on an inspection trip to the river on Tuesday, in an endeavor to estimate the probable cost of repairing the dykes. The consensus of opinion was that it is imperative that the dykes be repaired at once to save thousands of fertile acres from damage by possible floods. The Chamber of Commerce is considering the problem of flood control at its meeting today at Elks Club. Mr. and Mrs. Albert Ledbetter are the proud possessors of a seven-pound baby girl, who was born to them on Sunday evening.

New Pavement on Coast Highway Along the Coast highway between Naples and Anaheim bay bridge, a stretch of one and one-half miles of road, is now being paved with 20-foot cement concrete. The new pavement will fill gaps left unpaved several years ago to allow for the settlement of the embankment. Excellent progress is now being made on the new stretch of highway through Del Mar to the San Diego county line. TIRES AND VALVES Tires will last much longer if proper air pressure is maintained. A tire gauge accurately and quickly shows the amount of air in the tire; and every car owner should provide his car with one. The valve inside is one of the most delicate pieces of mechanism on the car and should be protected from dust, dirt and moisture with a valve cap. Spare caps and valve insides should be carried in the tool kit. FLOOD CONTROL F. A.

Slabaugh, county purchasing agent, announced the purchase of an open Jordan eight cylinder car to replace one driven by the force in the sheriff's office for the past three years. The new car is a 1928 model. The old one has been driven 100,000 miles. It was turned in on the purchase of the new automobile. A new Studebaker Commander will be added to the cars at the sheriff's office, replacing another car of the same make which has been driven approximately 100,000 miles. The supervisors approved both purchases. Traffic problems and mileage continued to come before the board, when a letter from the Parent-Teacher Association at Yorba Linda requested that the county assist in reducing the speed of cars driving by the school there was referred to Nat Neff, highway superintendent. The latter stated that Capt. H. C. Mechan of the state traffic squad has agreed to provide an officer at the school for the first 10 days of the coming term, with instructions to see that passing cars do not endanger the lives of the school children.

"Oh, no, auntie," said she girl from Dubuque, "I always understood them perfectly." Hawkins—Sir, there is a man outside who says he will work for nothing. Sir Tipple—What does he want to do? Hawkins—Clean up the cellar. "I must see the doctor today—I don't like the look of my wife." "I'll come with you, old man; I can't bear the sight of mine, either." "Can you take me in, sir?" he said. "I've tried four places, and they're full up, and I'm afraid I've got pneumonia." "No, no," said the hospital doorman. "We can't take you in here. This is a veterinary hospital." "But I'm a veteran," said the old fellow. "I lost this leg down in Cuba." When were you born? thundered the judge. No reply. Did you hear what I said? repeated His Honor. "When is your birthday?" Why are you worrying about that? finally snarled the prisoner. You ain't going to give me nothing! Oh, yes I am!' snapped the judge. Thirty days!

Summary of Our National Conditions Industrial production declined in July to a level below that of a year ago, while the department of labor's index of wholesale prices advanced for the first time since last autumn. Demand for bank credit showed a seasonal increase, but easy conditions prevailed in the money market. Output of manufactures declined in July and was in practically the same volume as a year ago. The production of minerals, which was further reduced during the month, was at the lowest level since early in 1926, when the anthracite strike was in progress. Iron and steel production in July was in the smallest volume since 1925, and continued at practically the same level during the first three weeks of August. Automobile output for July and the early weeks of August was considerably below that of the corresponding period of last year. Production of rubber tires, non-ferrous metals and food products and activity of woolen mills were less in July than in preceding months. Cotton consumption was smaller than in June, but continued unusually large for this season of the year. Production of leather, shoes, and lumber increased in July as compared with June. Factory employment and payroll showed seasonal decreases in July and were smaller than in any month since 1924. Employment in coal mining has been reduced in recent months and reports indicate some unemployment in certain of the building trades owing to the decline in construction of houses. Building contract awards in July and in the first three weeks of August continued larger than a year ago, the increase reflecting chiefly a growth in awards for engineering projects. The August 1 cotton report of the department of agriculture indicated a production of 13,492,000 bales, or 25 per cent less than the record yield of last year. Indicated production of corn, though considerably larger than the expectation, was 262,000,000 bushels lower than the harvested crop of 1926. The August estimate of 851,000,000 bushels of wheat indicated an increase of 18,000,000 bushels over the 1926 crop yield. Distribution of merchandise at wholesale and retail showed about the usual seasonal decline in July. Compared with a year ago sales of wholesale firms No reply. "Did you hear what I said?" repeated His Honor. "When is your birthday?" "Why are you worrying about that?" finally snarled the prisoner. "You ain't going to give me nothing!" "Oh, yes I am!" snapped the judge. "Thirty days!" A Hollywood booking agent received a telegram to this effect: "Send me an actor capable of playing a full-blooded Indian; salary, $30." The booking agent was at a loss to know what to do, when an actor happened in and applied for work. The agent made the offer and the actor refused, stating his salary for such work was $60; then walked out expecting the agent to call him back. This he did not do, but the actor turned and said: "I have reconsidered; I will accept the engagement for $30. However, I will only play the part as a half-breed." She (as train toots at grade crossing)—George, you go right ahead. Don't let that big brute bully you. "Take care of your teeth," says an advertisement.

One obdurate soul, however, resisted the efforts of the elder. The recalcitrant one when called to account replied: "Yo see hwo it is. Elder. I've got a problem. I don't see how Ise kgine git mah shirt on ovah mah wings when I gits to Glory." "Dat ain't yo' problem," retorted the exhorter promptly. "Yo problem is how yo' gwine git yo' hat on ovah yo' horns." "Don't be afraid of Fido. You know barking dogs never bite." "Yes, but suppose he stops barking?" "Did you ask the new maid if she had any experience with children?" "Don't neet to. I could tell by the way she glowered at 'em that she haw." Frank and Blanche were having their usual spat over where to spend the vacation season. "My goodness," cried Frank, "do you think your Judgment is as good as mine!" "Oh, no, dear," said Blanche, with withering scorn. "Our choice of partners for life shows that my judgment is not to be compared with yours." "Aquitted," said the Judge. The old negro, who had been accused of stealing a watch, looked somewhat doubtful. "Aacquited? What yo' mean, judge?" The August 1 cotton report of the department of agriculture indicated a production of 13,492,000 bales, or 25 per cent less than the record yield of last year. Indicated production of corn, though considerably larger than the expectation, was 262,000,000 bushels lower than the harvested crop of 1926. The August estimate of 851,000,000 bushels of wheat indicated an increase of 18,000,000 bushels over the 1926 crop yield. Distribution of merchandise at wholesale and retail showed about the usual seasonal decline in July. Compared with a year ago, sales of wholesale firms and department stores were slightly smaller, owing largely to the fact that there was one less business day in July of this year than in July, 1926. Sales of mail order houses and chain stores were somewhat larger than a year ago. Inventories of department stores continued to decline in July, and at the end of the month were slightly smaller than a year ago. Wholesale stocks also continued smaller than last year. Shipments of commodities by freight decreased, contrary to the usual seasonal trend, and were smaller in July and in the first two weeks of August than in the same period of last year. If I Had a Radio and heard music and voices that had travelled through the air for hundreds of miles I would never be satisfied with the old-fashioned hot water system that couldn't supply real hot water through pipes for a few yards.

The old negro, who had been accused of stealing a watch, looked somewhat doubtful. "Acquitted? What yo' mean, judge?" "I mean," answered the judge, patiently, "you are acquitted." The negro looked more confused than ever. "Judge," he asked, "does that mean I have to gib de watch back to de owner? He—I wish you would not call me Mr. Junkin. She—Oh, but I've only known you for such a little white; but why don't you wish me to call you Mr. Junkin! He—Merely because my name is Smith. Apartment Seeker—But why do they make the apartments so small? Real Estate Agent—That, madam, is so the tenants will have no room for complaint. Ole Olson had been working as an engine wiper, and his boss, a thrifty man, had been coaching him for promotion to fireman with such advice as: "Now, Ole, don't waste a drop of oil; it costs money. And don't waste the waste, either; that's expensive nowadays, too." When Ole went up to be questioned on his eligibility for an engineman, he was asked: "Suppose you are on your engine on a single track. You go around a curve, and see rushing toward you an express. What would you do?" To which Ole thoughtfully replied: "I grab the oil can; I grab the waste and yump." They tell me that Simpson had quito a scrap with his wife last night. "What was wrong with him?" "I didn't hear." "Liquor?" "No, she licked him."
