OBSERVATIONS SO NEAR AND YET SO FAR Slow Foot Sam—"What is meant by that ripping remark, 'Don't Get Fresh?'" Fiery Fanny—"That relates principally to the drug store cowboy who believes that he is irresistible and that all his affairs are conquests; but when a young lady calls him up on the telephone (by mistake) and he insists on knowing her number, he gets a set back that holds him for quite a while." LIVING CLOSE TO NATURE A husband in El Aye left his wife because she persisted in wearing the latest thing—a-majig in bathing suits in summer and went about without her stockings in winter. He went South and said she ought to go to the North Pole where the Eskimos eat raw walrus for breakfast. SAD STORY "My husband has run off and left me with six children," said a sad-eyed woman the other day. WATERING THE FLOWERS A wife sued her husband for divorce because she alleged that the old man carried around the names and telephone numbers of eighteen different blondes and brunnettes. MUSTA BEEN DEEP SEA DIVER A married man who figured in a court action has been accused of flirting and carrying on with a woman, who from all appearances from the pictures displayed, had a ward robe of the latest makeups of those beauties who haunt the water fronts.

PUTTING IT ON THE ICE A couple who went to a foreign country to get married before a "home" divorce jelled for one of them, have returned, saying that they were married in "name only." They are living "separate"—but have each other's telephone numbers. JUST ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER Speaking of insurance, what chance has a peaceable citizen, who owns a little house by the side of the road, from preventing one of those flying machines from taking a nosedive through his shack? TIMES WHEN A FELLOW WANTS TO BE ALONE A Jealous husband kept wrangling with the wife because she insisted in having a gay young bachelor attend all her tea parties. Said the wife: "Look here, dearies, he gave us the tea set for a wedding present; it is nothing more than right that we invite him to our parties." Said the husband: "By gollies, it's a good thing he didn't give us a bathtub." KNOCKING, GENTLY KNOCKING AT HIS DOOR Ever since prizefighting got to be a good financial game whenever a champ knocks out his man, there are a lot of fellows introduced who "challenge" the winner. STRAW THAT BROKE THE CAMEL'S BACK Whenever there is a "love" murder, and when it comes to a trial and the newspapers print the "endearing" letters that have passed between the "principals," why, that is too much and makes a fellow feel like going and jumping into the lake. Contrast What the PLYMOUTH Dollar Buys Plymouth Coupa, 1885 —With What You Get In Any Other Car In The Lowest-Priced Group The new Pllymouth Literally uses all earlier Plymouth Coupe, $685 —With What You Get In Any Other Car In The Lowest-Priced Group The new Plymouth literally upsets all earlier expectations of what your dollar should buy for you in the lowest-priced field. At $675 — Characteristic Chrysler power, speed and pick-up, plus the quiet and smoothness of far costlier cars. At $675 — Safety of internal-expanding hydraulic 4-wheel brakes, positive in any weather—the only car at its price with such equipment. At $675 — New and distinctive style which has obsoleted all earlier standards. At $675 — the full adult-size of $2000 cars, and luxury of fitment other cars in this field cannot afford. It is no wonder that the millions who count the cost of motoring are using the Plymouth, to its very evident advantage, as the measuring stick of dollar-for-dollar value in the lowest-priced field.

This was the news disclosed here by Bert A. Heinly, president of Highway Communities, Inc., the organization associated with the Richfield Oil company and the Electrical Products, Inc., in what is declared the most elaborate and ambitious "beacon chain" ever conceived. Mr. Heinly announced at the same time that George S. Miller, representative of the United States Department of Commerce—in control of aviation—is now on the road with William Cotrell of the Richfield company engaged in selecting further sites for the beacons. Here, briefly, is the status of the project to date: Six big beacons, each 125 feet high, Neon illuminated with a Richfield skin from tip to base and with a glowing aviators' guide atop the shaft, have been finished and are ready for lighting. These are at Livermore, Santa Rosa, Merced, Capistrano Beach, Palm City and Beaumont. Ideal Richfield service stations, designed in Spanish architecture, have been completed at the last three named points—Capistrano, Palm and Beaumont. Towers are now in course of construction at Santa Marla, Paso Robles and Chular (near Gonzalo, Calif). Construction will proceed at the rate of three a month with towers at Willows, Baquilleville and Victorville next in line for building. Purchase of land needed for sites not yet selected is being done by Max Gordon, representing the various interests involved in the big plan.

PAYING HONORABLE DEBTS A letter of General Grant's just brought to light, dated within a few days following the disaster to the brokerage firm of Grant and Ward, is a pitiable missive in the light of the years and causes a heart throb of sympathy. It is one of the most striking evidences of the fact that men who are astute and capable along some lines may be entirely ignorant and easily duped in respect to others. General Grant's name is revered because it was so clearly demonstrated that he had no knowing part in fleecing anyone, and his faithful, although painful labors in writing his memoirs in the closing months of his life to meet the debt that hung over him, and to provide funds for his family is a sad story of one of the most heroic incidents in the life of any man. We like to think of Sir Walter Scott, writing to pay off the debt of his publishing firm. It was a wonderful honorable labor which he performed. But Sir Walter was doing his natural work which he enjoyed and for which he was thoroughly trained while Grant's writing was difficult, laborious, and unnatural to him, and done in the midst of intense pain. Both of them, however, belong to the rank of true noblemen. The Union Pacific announces holiday fares at low rate to all eastern points. The round trip fare will be about and one-third the one way fare. Tickets good going Dec. 17, 18 and 19—return limit, Jan. 19th, 1929. Take advantage of these low fares to spend the holidays with friends back East. "Dress Well and" "FROM A MAN" THE GIFT THAT WILL P Ideal Richfield service stations, designed in Spanish architecture, have been completed at the last three named points—Capistrano, Palm and Beaumont. Towers are now in course of construction at Santa Maria, Paso Robles and Chular (near Gonzalo, Calif). Construction will proceed at the rate of three a month with towers at Willows, Baqueville and Victorville next in line for building. Purchase of land needed for sites not yet selected is being done by Max Gordon, representing the various interests involved in the big plan. Each of the towers will form the nucleus for an ideal village consisting of Richfield service station, roadside hotel, etc. Plans for the hotels are now being drawn by the architectural firm of Merrill & Wilson and the first of the hotel's will soon be under way. It is declared. The villages—each located outside the incorporated cities or towns—will be located about 50 miles apart and on all the main highways interlying Mexico and Canada. Thus, it is explained, aviators will be constantly in sight of the beacons at night, while motorists will have handy stopping places available at frequent intervals along every major highway. OUR POPULATION The population of the state of California now exceeds five million and is increasing at the rate of about 3% per cent annually, according to the findings of California Taxpayers' association in the population survey which it has just completed. The estimates made by the association show that the population of the state was 4,910,000 for the year ending June 30, 1927, and 5,693,500 for the year ending June 30, 1928, which indicates an increase in population of 183,500 or 3% per cent during the year. Dr. Milbank Johnson, chairman of the board of directors of the association, in discussing the survey, said: "A detailed analysis has been made of the past growth of population in California and a prediction of the probable growth in the immediate future by California Taxpayers' association in order to enable us to clearly analyze the increases in the cost of state government in California during the next biennium." "The survey involved a detailed study of population growth from 1880 to 1928 and contains a prediction to the year 1940, when the population, according to our findings, should be approximately 7,923,000."
