How Forest Fires May Be Prevented Excellent Advice Given Campers By Richfield Oil Company The Richfield Oil Company is entitled to the gratitude of the public for its long-continued efforts to prevent forest fires. During five years past, the company has allotted a portion of its advertising appropriation to the task of educating the public to the need for care on the part of travelers in preventing these disastrous fires, which have caused millions of dollars worth of damage in this state. One of these advertisements appears upon this page, and your attention is directed to its contents. Exercise of a little care on the part of campers will go far toward preventing a recurrence of this great loss. Campfires left unextinguished, a lighted match thrown away, or a cigar cast aside may cause a fire which will result in untold destruction of property. These things are all contrary to law, and severe punishment is provided in each case, but campers insist on disregarding the law, and great loss results. During the past three weeks, many forest fires have been raging in this state and much property has been destroyed. Millions have been lost because of these fires in the past, and it is high time travelers should heed this good advice and do what they can to prevent these conflagrations. Outboard Motorboat Races on Newport Bay The course of the outboard motorboat races for Labor Day on Newport bay, under the auspices of the Newport Harbor Chamber of Commerce, was announced today by Frank L. Smith, president of the chamber. Cash prizes totaling $100 have been put up for the winners in three divisions. The boats will start from in front of the Standard Oil pier on the bay front Celebration of Grape Day at Escondido Staging of an open air pageant, many additional features in the way of exhibits, showing the agricultural resources of Escondido valley, and a large parade will be the events in the annual Grape-Day celebration which will take place September 9, Admission Day at Escondido. This year will bring the twentieth observance of the annual festival. The pageant, which will be presented in a natural amphitheter, located about a mile south of Grape Day park, the center of attractions, is "Felicita and the Battle of San Pasqual." It is based on the history of the famous battle of San Pasqual between the famous American dragoons under General Kearney and the Mexican lancers led by General Pico. The pageant-play was written by Dr. B. F. Sherman, directon of the Escondido Community Arts Club, after a study of several years into the romantic history of Escondido and surrounding country. In order to illustrate to the world at large that Escondido and the tributary country bears many diversified products of the soil, there will be an exhibit of agriculture this year. Much attention is being given entertainment at Grape Day park. Those in charge of the parade are assured of the largest entry list in history. As usual, the Grape-Day Association will distribute 10 tons of grapes to all visitors on that day. MAY LOCATE HERE Mr. and Mrs. William Humbert, Miss Janice Humbert and Mrs. G. H.

The boats will start from in front of the Standard Oil pier, on the bay front at Balboa, then proceed westerly along the county channel and around the Maud F. anchorage and finish at the starting place.

The Chamber of Commerce race program supplements a big program of races and water sports being staged under the auspices of the Newport Harbor Yacht Club and other organizations on Newport bay over the Labor Day week-end. Dahlia Show Will Be Great Event What promises to be a gorgeous and lavish floral spectacle, is the fifth annual dahlia show, to be held at Buena Park, Friday, under the auspices of the Buena Park Woman's Club. Prediction that this year's exhibition will surpass any given in the past years has just been made by Mrs. Caryl Snyder, general chairman, who assisted by a large committee, is busy making preparations for the event. The entire county of Orange is solidly back of the exhibition this year, as evidenced by the fact that practically every city and town has announced a candidate for the dahlia queen contest, which is an annual feature of the show. Between 500 and 1000 entries are expected in the show this year, of fully 50 per cent more than last year and, due to the impetus given to dahlia culture in the county since the inauguration of the show, some of the rarest specimens of dahlias ever exhibited in California are expected to be placed on display, it was predicted by those fostering the show. Nearly 60 prizes will be offered in the show this year, these to be in cash, valuable dahlia bulbs, and ribbons. The show will open at 2 p.m. and, following the judging, an elaborate program of Spanish motif will be carried out. Selection and coronation of the dahlia queen and awarding of prizes will take place at 8 o'clock in the evening. MAY LOCATE HERE Mr. and Mrs. William Humbert, Miss Janice Humbert and Mrs. G. H. Bailey drove up from Long Beach on Tuesday and spent the day with relatives here. Mr. Humbert came especially to attend the Kiwanis Club meeting, to hear the excellent program and to make away with the splendid dinner set by Caterer Mills. He knows a good thing when he sees it. He and his family have been sojourning in California for the past three months, and will remain until October before returning to their home in Phoenix. He thinks more and more of Orange county every time he comes, and it is quite possible he will be here one of these times and fall to return to Arizona. He is all experienced and successful farmer, and it is thought he ought to make good on an orange ranch. POLISH FOR THE CAR Care should be taken when purchasing polish for the car, as there is a special polish for nearly every finish. The salesman should be consulted when selecting the polish, according to Western Auto Supply Company. The pecan is the largest growing tree under orchard cultivation. The average spread of the ordinarily big pecan trees, 50 or more years old, favorably located, is probably from 100 to 125 feet, although trees of materially greater range are not unusual. This is three or four times the usual size of normally large apple trees and from four to six times that of the peach. Automobile Drivers Must Be Examined Regardless of the length of time a person has been driving an automobile, an applicant for an operator's license must take a driver's test before receiving a California license. The new regulation went into effect on Monday, and announcement of it was made by Walter P. Greer, state inspector for the traffic department. Greer returned with this information from Imperial valley, where he has been on duty for the department for several days. Horetofore, persons who could produce affidavits to the effect that they had been driving for a period of six months prior to applying for an operator's license, were excused from taking the tests, but from Monday all persons must take the tests. Holders of licenses at the present time do not have to take an examination. It is said that Strauss had a flash of inspiration while out walking and wrote his famous "Blue Danube Waltz" on his cuff.

Moss and son, Jean, of Somerset, Arizona, who have been Campaign to Reduce Traffic Accidents Only in certain communities where definite plans for traffic regulations have been adopted is there any improvement in the automobile fatality figure. Reports indicate that the loss of life the country over due to traffic becomes more discouraging with each passing year. The only encouraging note is found in those cities where insistent and determined effort has been made to reduce accidents and deaths. Recently one-fourth of all the lives lost in all kinds of accidents among insurance policy holders during the first half of the present year were found due to automobile casualties. It is also noted during this same period that 30 per cent of the death toll involved the lives of children. Southern California is one section of the country that has decreased the death expectancy among children of school age through education in the public schools and organizing the children into safety committees outside of their school work. This plan was inaugurated about six years ago, and during the past five years the child death rate in this section has been reduced to 15.2 per cent as compared with 36 per cent for the nation at large. Beginning in September, when school work is resumed, the California public safety conference will inaugurate a state-wide campaign to reduce traffic accidents, and the co-operation of all organized agencies will be enlisted in a consistent effort to minimize injury and death from automobiles. of the freshman collegiate group by Dr. Bruce Baxter, director of social and religious interests at Southern California.

The quality of timber depends largely upon the density of the stand. High quality timber to a great proportion of its height is free of limbs, the cause of knots; it is tall, and does not decrease rapidly in diameter from the butt to top of last log. In a dense stand of timber there is among the individual trees considerable competition for sunlight, with the result that height growth is increased. Trees in crowded standstherefore are usually taller than those in thin stands of the same age. When trees are so crowded that sunlight does not reach the lower branches, these soon die, become brittle, and fall off or are broken off by the wind, snow, or other agencies. Further, in dense stands the diameters of trees do not decrease rapidly between the butts and tops. The reverse is true of uncrowded trees. For best results in timber growing in farm woods or elsewhere, the trees should be so crowded that the crown or top of each individual tree may be in contact with those of its nearest neighbors.
