Store Anaheim, California What It Cost to Govern the State Total Expenditures of Fiscal Year Over $85,000,000 The net cost of state government in California for the year ending June 30, 1927, was $85,247,963.26, representing an increase during the last four years of 34.4 per cent. This was disclosed here in the fourth annual statement of governmental costs, by State Comptroller Ray L. Riley. Net cost figures for the four periods were: 1924, $63,428,192.15; 1925, $76,-631,297.91; 1926, $82,835,251.33; and 1927, $85,247,963.26. "The two-cent gasoline tax, with its apportionment to counties, accounted for one-half the total and represented the outstanding increase during the four-year period." Riley continued. "Increased school costs represented approximately 21 per cent." "Administrative functions of government increased but $304,588.85 in the four-year period. Hospital costs showed a remarkably low increase of only 5 per cent, while penal institutions increased 37 per cent." California motorists who are inclined to "step on the gas" or commit other infractions of motor vehicle laws caused the greatest four-year period—that of the pay of traffic officers, which jumped from $112,789.03, in 1924, to $597,376.43 in 1927, an increase of more 414 per cent. Some of the other increases shown during the four-year period were as follows: Education increased $5,487,253.95, or 21 per cent. Included under education the payments to elementary schools increased $2,652,324.11, or 18 per cent. Payments to high schools increased $1,245,426.08, or 33 per cent, while the University of California received an added $787,847.60, or 15 per cent. Judicial departments, including superior, appellate and supreme courts increased $62,012.33, or 9 per cent. Administrative departments include motor vehicles. Late Models Have New Cylinder Head Among the engineering features which share credit for Buick's record-breaking sales since introduction of the 1928 models last summer, is the improved six-cylinder valve-in-head engine, featuring the vacuum ventilator and the counter-balanced crankshaft with torsional balancer. Engine changes in the new models include a new cylinder head, a new camshaft, and a lighter valve-operating mechanism, and an enlarged exhaust system. Of these changes, said George F. Howard, northern Orange county dealer, one of the most interesting is the Buick cylinder head, which makes use of the same principle as has long guided the design of firearms, and with the same object—to ge all possible force directed behind the projectile. In the case of the engine, the projectile is the piston, and the power which the pistons collectively develop depends upon the force brought to bear upon them by explosion within the combustion chamber. The combustion chamber in the engine of the new Buick is circular, with smoothly rounded walls, and is of the same diameter as the piston itself. It fits exactly over the bore in the cylinder block, its walls forming a continuation of the latter's, so that when the explosion occurs, every ounce of power is concentrated directly upon the piston. Since the valve openings are in the head itself, there is no necessity for an irregular design to accommodate the valves. Just as in the modern gun, the propelling power is introduced through what corresponds to the breech. It is this feature about the design of the valve-in-head engine which makes it 'the most powerful engine,' per cubic inch of piston displacement, yet devised. An incidental effect of the unusually compact head design is reduction of undesirable cooling of the explosive mixture, and consequent leasening of detonation. Valve-in-head engines are more costly to manufacture than ordinary engines, but the record of satisfaction which they have achieved in Buick's 24 years' experience has prompted their adoption.

Dixie Jubilee Quartet At United Theatre Good colored male quartets will always be popular. There is a fascinating something about them which is found in no other vocal organization. The Dixie Jubilee Quartet has this something and enjoys a well-deserved popularity. These versatile entertainers present the cottonfield favorites of the sunny South in the peculiar style characteristic of their race. What would you rather hear than a good colored male quartet harmonizing on the southern plantation melodies? These singers are guaranteed grouper removers and rather lean towards the more humorous throughout the entire program. Vocally their voices blend delightfully; musically they are well trained; artistically their songs are well executed. While the Jubilee songs predominate yet there are popular, classical and a good sprinkling of humorous numbers. Various feature numbers are also introduced including a group of readings some of which are taken from Paul Laurence Dunbar's works. In Mr. Stewart the quartet has a piano soloist of marked ability quite capable of giving an entire recital by himself. He plays the most difficult selections from the old masters. The guitar is used to produce certain effects along with the valves. Just as in the modern gun, the propelling power is introduced through what corresponds to the breech. It is this feature about the design of the valve-in-head engine which makes it the most powerful engine, per cubic inch of piston displacement, yet devised. An incidental effect of the unusually compact head design is reduction of undesirable cooling of the explosive mixture and consequent lessening of detonation. Valve-in-head engines are more costly to manufacture than ordinary engines but the record of satisfaction which they have achieved in Bulck's 24 years' experience has prompted their adoption not only for racing motor cars but for speedboats, airplanes, and other uses where ability to withstand terrific punishment and deliver maximum power is paramount. Mrs. Jack Golden entertained with luncheon and bridge party at the Manchester Cafe. Thursday afternoon. Arthur Thurman is enjoying a hunting trip in Coachella valley. Mrs. Guy Berry of Imperial is spending two weeks with her parents Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Whitezell of Western. Mr. Fred Coffman, of Oklahoma, and granddaughter, Margery Strickland, of Los Angeles, were last week guests at the C.A. Spohn home. Coleman Travis was in town this week from his ranch at La Esperanza. Coleman has a fine-looking 50-acre orange orchard on the ranch which is one of the show places of the upper valley.

Mrs. Ethel Lineberger died at her home at Newport Beach Wednesday at the age of 60.She was a former resident of Anaheim,moving to the beach six years ago. In six days.Yet anyone who has watched aviation will not bettle the forecast which says that the American continent some day will be spanned in six hours. Lindbergh in all his greatness.is only a pioneer of the air. Hearing in the matter of Acquisition and Improvement District No. 2 was continued to 2 p.m. Map tract No. 888 was accepted as the official plotting of said tract.

A German chemist is told to have invented a kind of ice which will stand a heat of 208 degrees before melting. Well, you may be able to think of one place where there will be a big demand for this.* While the jubilee songs predominate, yet there are popular, classical and a good sprinkling of humorous numbers. Various feature numbers are also introduced, including a group of readings, some of which are taken from Paul Laurence Dunbar's works. In Mr. Stewart the quartet has a plano soloist of marked ability quite capable of giving an entire recital by himself. He plays the most difficult selections from the old masters. The guitar is used to produce certain effects along with the singing of the old-time favorites. Mr. Reeves, the first tenor, scores a big hit in his tenor solos and appears again as a saxophone soloist. The quartet is very fortunate in having a real basso as a foundation for their harmony. The program is built up with a fine knowledge of platform requirements and presented by old-timers. At the United Theatre Friday and Saturday, January 6 and 7. MODERN TRAVEL IS SWIFT Within five hours after Colonel Lindbergh took off from the national flying field in the City of Mexico for Guatemala and after his mother departed from the same spot, also by airplane, for Detroit, these two members of a famous family were 1000 miles apart. An Argentine horseman setting out from his native land for New York City will require two years to ride that distance. Lindbergh, on his flight over Central America, covers jungles and mountains that no human being could traverse either afloat, or on horseback, or by vehicle. These contrasts tell the story of modern development in transportation, and emphasize the importance of air travel as a commercial and social agency. The motor car has revolutionized almost every phase of human life. It has built new industries, opened new business and strengthened old businesses and industries. In navigation, the speedboat also is annihilating distances and suggesting opportunities for Yankee enterprise. One devotee for this sport hopes to make the trip from New York to San Francisco by way of the Panama canal. Parents Bidden to Child Study Meets A three-day conference and program open to every individual who is interested, will be held January 25 to 27, inclusive, on the mezzanine floor of the El Torre hotel, Anaheim, with morning, afternoon and evening sessions especially planned to be of interest to fathers and mothers. Dr. Gertrude Laws announced. Dr. Laws is assistant in the southern part of the state to Dr. Herbert Stolz, state director of child study by parents, and also director of the Child Welfare Institute at the University of California. Dr. Lewis, who has been leading interested groups in Los Angeles, Long Beach and Pasadena, has agreed to give over the entire month of January to conferences outside of Los Angeles. "The state department of education is appreciative of the volunteer, cooperative work that has been done by parents to improve conditions of growth of children," says an announcement. Through co-operation between the state department and the California Congress of Parents and Teachers, a limited amount of professional assistance is being offered to groups of parents interested in the study of problems of human adjustment. The meetings scheduled at Anaheim are a part of the assistance offered. Mr. and Mrs. William Falkenstein had the pleasure of a visit during the holidays from their son, Stanley Falkenstein, who is residing in Berkeley, where he is engaged in architectural work for the government. He returned to the north immediately after Christmas. A Kansas man after years of experimenting has perfected a seedless tomato. But the real benefactor of mankind will be the fellow who first produces a seedless watermelon. Universities Arrange '28 Forensic Schedule Announcement comes from Coach Alan Nichols of the University of Southern California debate squad that the 1928 forensic schedule of the Trojan team begins Thursday, January 12, when a dual debate with Stanford university will take place.

Initiative and the Telephone! A Pacific Coast paper dealer received a surprise shipment of 800 bundles of tray paper [for drying grapes] which had not been ordered. This resourceful dealer quickly turned the supplier's error to good account. Telephone calls to customers in nearby towns disposed of the entire shipment and one hundred additional bundles for later delivery—gross sales $4500.00. Successful sales campaigns now consider the telephone—the rapid convenient, economical, personal means of communication with customers in and out of town and a sales force of proven merit. "When you call the trade by telephone they know you have something worth while to say". You can't do Both Let us do the Washing! Why spend a day a week in the wet of home washing?
