Pasadena Expects Million Visitors All Records for Tournament of Roses to Be Broken By CNPA Service Pasadena is preparing to entertain approximately one million persons at the fortiest annual Tournament of Roses on New Year's Day. Last year the attendance at the big mid-winter fete approached the million mark and this year it is expected to exceed that figure. Elaborate plans have been made for controlling traffic in and around Pasadena on New Year's morning. Police of all cities in this section will join to form a comprehensive organization for regulating the swarms of automobiles that will descend upon Pasadena from all points of the compass between dawn and 10 o'clock on the morning of the tournament. All roads within twenty miles of Pasadena will be posted with signs and patrolled by traffic officers. Inside the city limits of Pasadena, the local police department will be augmented by two hundred picked traffic men from the Los Angeles city force, forty county motorcycle officers and many special officers. The police urge everybody to start early, have plenty of gasoline, follow the routes designated by special road signs and obey the instructions of the traffic officers. Special trains to Pasadena on New Year's Day have been announced by all interurban, steam and bus lines. One steam line, the Santa Fe, will operate a Tournament of Roses special from Chicago. The Pacific Electric will run three-car trains from Los Angeles at two-minute intervals during the morning. The Tournament of Roses program comprises the morning parade and the inter-sectional football game at the Rose Bowl in the afternoon. The parade will start promptly at 10:30 a.m., proceeding east on Colorado street from South Orange Grove avenue to Hill, north on Hill to East Orange Grove and thence west to Lake. RETURN 100 PER CENT Twenty years ago cement roads were a dream and the income from taxes on automobiles was almost negligible. During 1927 the people of the United States paid a little more than $74,304 an hour or slightly more than $1,135,312 a day, for every one of the 365 days of the year, just for automobile license plates and for the privilege of buying gasoline. The total revenue in the 47 states for 1927 amounted to $1,758,381,000 or $550,-179,000 in excess of the total expenditures, exclusive of outlays for permanent improvements. After adding all current and permanent improvements together the states jointly had a surplus of $31,392,000 left. Because of improved highways property valuation increased in the 48 states over the preceding year at the rate of almost $12,000,000 a day, so that at the beginning of 1928, the assessed valuation of the properties in the 48 states was $146,432,287,461—or more than the combined first cost of all the highway and autos constructed during the year. SLIP-SHOD BUSINESS When our government was organized it required weeks for members of congress to reach the national capital. Today the journey can be completed within a few hours. The days of the stage coach, canal boats and tallow candles are over. Members of congress elected last month cannot function before December, 1929 unless called together in special session after March 4. Between November and March many of those who persist in framing important legislation have been repudiated at the polls. It is not only an awkward situation, but it is poor business for a modern business concern. The Norris resolution to change this condition has passed the senate three times, and three times it has been sidedracked in the house and the nation is still saddled with an out-of-date system. The necessity of crowding much-needed legislation into a few brief months makes log-rolling on an extensive scale. Deals of all kinds are entered into to not measure through in the rush.

Glendale, Beverly Hills, Long Beach, Los Angeles and a score or more of other Southern California cities will again be represented. There will be about ninety floats and thirty or more bands in the parade. SNAKE FACTS The ideas that a venomous snake can strike its full length or more, and that it cannot strike except from a colled position, are popular but erroneous beliefs, biologists of the U.S. Department of Agriculture state. Most of our poisonous snakes, when irritated, can strike from any position, and the greatest length of stroke is about three-fourths their own length.

Anaheim-Fullerton Creamery South Spadra Road Conference Over Aqueduct Proposal Representatives of Eleven Cities to Meet at Pasadena Saturday Representatives from the eleven Southern California cities that voted last November to join the Metropolitan Water District for the purpose of securing additional domestic water supplies from the Colorado River, are scheduled to meet in the Huntington Hotel, Pasadena, at 2:00 o'clock Saturday afternoon, December 29, for the purpose of organizing the district, it was announced today by officers of the Colorado River Aqueduct association. An informal lunch will be at 12:30 o'clock. Colorado River flood control and development, now assured through the signing of the Boulder Dam bill recently by President Coolidge, opens the way for Southern California cities to proceed at once with the financing and construction of an aqueduct from this stream, it was pointed out by Col. S. C. Finley, secretary of the Aqueduct association. In view of this situation it is believed that the cities now included in the district, will push forward rapidly all preliminary organization work and thus clear the way for the actual planning and financing of the huge aqueduct. Each of the eleven cities now included in the Metropolitan Water District will be entitled to at least one official representative on the board of directors. None of the cities will have more than ten members on the board and no city will have more than 50 per cent of the total votes on the board, it was explained by Col. Finley. Emphasizing the importance of each city having an officially appointed representative at the meeting Saturday, Col. Finley drew attention to the fact that all of the delegates at this session must produce a certificate of appointment before they will be able to take part in the business of organizing the new district. Election of officers on the board of directors of the district, it is expected, will be the first order of business Saturday. With the details of organiza- Discover Ring Of Oil Hijackers Thousands of Barrels Are Stolen From Huntington Beach Wells Expose of a ring organized for the purpose of stealing thousands of barrels of oil from the wells of the Standard Oil company, located at Huntington Beach, by tapping the pipelines from the wells, was promised by sheriff's officers, following the issuance of a warrant for Jack Lorenzson, tool pusher on the Lanning lease, who resides on Central Avenue, Newport Beach. The complaint charges Lorenzson with grand theft, citing that he is accused of stealing 1000 barrels of oil from the Standard Oil company, valued at $5000. The time of the crime was set as on November 13 to November 17. Harry Carter, deputy sheriff, who has been working quietly on the case for the past several weeks, declared that the arrest of Lorenzson was merely a preliminary step in the cleanup of a ring which will involve a number of other persons, including two well-known Los Angeles bankers. That the higher ups in the ring also would be exposed was promised by Carter, who during the past several weeks lodged several men in the county jail here for investigation, all of whom have been released now, after valuable information had been obtained from them pertaining to the part the "higher ups" have played in the newest kind of a "racket" in Orange county. A peculiar twist in the course of events pertaining to the thefts, is that the men who have for the past several months stolen from the Standard Oil company, made their profits from the same company, by selling back to the Standard the same oil that was stolen from it. According to Carter, the thieves took out the suction and discharge valves on the pumps, which caused the oil to flow into a tank which had been prepared. This oil was then gauged, sold back to the Standard Oil company as oil which other wells than the Standard had produced. Lorenzson is merely a tool of the men who have engineered the swindle scheme and is foreman on the Lanning lease. Carter was unable or refused to state how many men would be implicated in the theft before the case was closed, but indicated that a large number of complaints would be filed. He stated that two men who gave him information regarding the thefts would not be held accountable, and indicated that he would attempt to reach the men in Los Angeles who were responsible for the thefts.

What whether it will will have more than 50 per cent of the total votes on the board, it was explained by Col. Finley. Emphasizing the importance of each city having an officially appointed representative at the meeting Saturday, Col. Finley drew attention to the fact that all of the delegates at this session must produce a certificate of appointment before they will be able to take part in the business of organizing the new district. Election of officers on the board of directors of the district, it is expected, will be the first order of business Saturday. With the details of organization completed, the tremendous task of preparing for the planning, financing and construction of the proposed Colorado River aqueduct will confront the district officers with the largest engineering job ever contemplated in the Southwest. For the past five years, it was pointed out, the City of Los Angeles has been conducting detailed surveys and studies in connection with the proposed Colorado River aqueduct. Under the direction of William Mulholland, veteran Los Angeles water engineer, tentative plans have been drawn up for an aqueduct capable of supplying the domestic water needs of 7,500,000 additional people in Southern California cities. The proposed aqueduct, as tentatively planned, will be approximately 260 miles long. Although no official estimates have been submitted, it is expected that the colossal water carrier will cost approximately $150,000,000. Those cities that have voted to join the Metropolitan Water District are Beverly Hills, Burbank, Glendale, Los Angeles, Pasadena, Santa Monica, San Marino, Santa Ana, Anaheim, San Bernardino and Colton. TURKEY FEATHERS Turkey feathers, when properly prepared, are quite valuable and command good prices—a good reason for saving them. These feathers are marketed principally in the East, says the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the quill feathers being used for feather dusters and the down feathers for beds and pillows. Dry pluck the turkeys and thoroughly dry and air the feathers before packing. Turn them often while drying and separate the quill feathers from the others. Dr. and Mrs. J. H.

WISHING TO OUR FRIENDS A A Bountiful New The Anaheim 108 North Emily USING OUR LEISURE Today the average person has more leisure than he had a generation ago, consequently he has more opportunities for cultural pursuits, if his inclinations are in that direction. The average work-day is shorter, due to the ability to produce more through labor-saving devices, and thus even the manual laborer is enabled to share in the leisure which an advancing civilization has made possible. How to suitably employ leisure time is consequently becoming a rather important problem, the solution of which must naturally be found by each individual for himself. Spare time may well be devoted in part to studies which lead to advancement in one's occupation or profession, or even to preparation for a more desirable calling. Correspondence courses afford many opportunities in these directions. For those who have found their life work and are succeeding in it, leisure offers the means of broadening the mental vision by a better acquaintance with the masterpieces of literature and art, by developing a better appreciation of music, obtaining a better grasp of national and world affairs—in short, it enables one to live a fuller life. For attaining these ends almost unlimited facilities are within the reach of practically everyone, through books, newspapers, magazines, motion pictures and radio. By the judicious use of these entertainment and education may go hand in hand. The future happiness and prosperity of most of us depend largely upon how we employ our spare time.
