THE TOWN DOCTOR (The Doctor of Towns) SAYS Automobile Parking is Vital to Community Interests The parking situation is a serious problem to every city, town and village in the country. It is not always the fault of the present generation that many communities have here and buggy thoroughfares, and seldom can an increase of parking space in the business section be created fast enough to keep up with the ever-increasing number of automobiles. At the same time, the amount of retail business done in a community and the amount of business to be derived from motor traffic depends on no little degree upon the amount of available curb parking space. A given block can accommodate only so many automobiles—an adjacent lot has a given capacity and no more. Therefore, it is a problem of two things—turnover of space or getting more cars in and out of one space in a given length of time, and eliminating the deadhead or non-business productive cars that occupy the available space. The first is a matter of parking time limit, requiring a city ordinance taking into consideration that specified time limit is equitable; such an ordinance is only as good as enforced. The second is a matter of common, everyday business judgment and fore-sight and co-operative fairness by and among the business people and citizens in general, and in this way the parking space of most communities can be, figuratively speaking, increased all the way from ten to twenty per cent. In a recent survey of parking conditions in a midwestern city, it was learned that of the parked cars in the down town area (the check being made in the morning, at noon and in the late afternoon), 28% of the available parking space was occupied continuously from morning to night by the same cars, 81% of which were cars owned by local business and professional people—two merchants having two cars each for the full day; also that the average parking time per car was two and one-half hours; therefore, each car parked continuously deprived three and one-fifth customers of a space to park. In other words, the merchants in this town, by their carelessness, thoughtlessness, or for their own convenience, were driving a fifty of their trade away. At the same time, this survey proved that in many cases local merchants had ample parking space at the rear of their stores, some of whom had available garage space, unoccupied. The majority of the merchants in this town complained of lack of business or stated that they could "stand" more business—many "cried" about business when they could, by a little thinking plus a very small amount of effort and inconvenience, automatically make possible an increase in business of from 15% to 20% for themselves and the community. You cannot expect business from your trade zone, from other towns or from motor traffic if you do not provide a place for potential customers to park the cars they use as a means to get to your city. And remember, if your community, your town, doesn't do it, some other town will and the town that does it will get the business. Copyright, 1929, A. D. Stone.

Gray Hair and Employment Heavy Increase In Auto Sales Orange County's Sales for May Showed Gain of 78 Per Cent By the sale of 605 automobiles last month, Orange county made a gain of 78 per cent over the same month last year and stepped from tenth to seventh position among the 15 counties leading in the sales of motor cars. It is revealed by the Motor Registration News of Oakland, in its monthly compilation of new car registrations in the state for May. Discussing the May records, the News says: "May, 1929, the second largest month in sales volume this year, registers a healthy increase of 43 per cent. The sales totals are 26,963 passenger and commercial cars for May, 1929, as against 18,907 for the same month of last year, a sales gain of 8,056." "Of the two sections of the state, Southern California fared the better, for this part of the state is shown with an increase of 54 per cent, while that of Northern California is listed at 29 per cent." "Northern California reached a total of 11,166 passenger and commercial car sales in the month just closed, as compared to 8,644 for May of 1928." "Southern California, with sales amounting to 15,797 for May of this year, is 5,534 sales ahead of the May, 1928, total of 10,263." "In the passenger air field a total of 24,868 cars was sold and registered in May, 1929, and when compared with the 17,379 for May a year ago we find a sales increase of 7,489 or 43 per cent." "Northern California, in registering 10,207 passenger cars in the month just closed, registers a gain of 2,368 or 30 per cent, for in May of last year the volume attained was 7,839." "Southern California registers the same percentage gain as in the combined total of both passenger and commercial cars, namely 54 per cent. The sales in this comparison are 14,661 for May of this year, and 9,540 for the same month a year ago." "Th commercial car industry forged ahead 37 per cent when it reached a total of 2,095 commercial cars in the month just closed, for in May, 1928, the total reached was 1,528." "Northern California, with 959 sales to its credit, galanced 154 eales, or 19 per cent, when comparison is made with the 805 sales registered in May a year ago." "A total of 1,136 commercial cars was registered in Southern California." bined total of both passenger and commercial cars, namely, 54 per cent. The sales in this comparison are 14,661 for May of this year, and 9,540 for the same month a year ago. "The commercial car industry forged ahead 37 per cent when it reached a total of 2,095 commercial cars in the month just closed, for in May, 1928, the total reached was 1,528. "Northern California, with 959 sales to its credit, gained 154 sales, or 19 per cent, when comparison is made with the 805 sales registered in May a year ago. "A total of 1,136 commercial cars was sold and registered in Southern California, an increase of 413 sales, or 57 per cent, for in May a year ago the sales volume amounted to 723." Pressure Guage Tested As a feature of the demonstration, spray rig owners may bring their pressure gauges to be tested as to accuracy and corrected if found necessary. The demonstration is scheduled for 2 p.m. Monday, July 8, at the Orange County Fumigation company yards on South Glassell street, Orange. In connection with the need of occasional checking on the accuracy of pressure gauges used in connection with spray rigs, Mr. J. P. Fairbank, specialist in agricultural engineering, refers to the record of 76 gauges which he has tested at similar meetings. 81% of which were more than 10 pounds in error, 14% were 100 pounds or more in error. Spray rig owners and operators are invited to attend, as information relative to sprayer maintenance and repair, together with spray application will be given. FISH EAT MOSQUITOES Common goldfish, silverfish and top minnows feed on mosquito larvae and can be put in artificial ponds and such places to keep down mosquitoes. Top minnows, which are found in all parts of the country, are especially voracious feeders on mosquito larvae. The effectiveness of the minnows is increased if the water is cleared of any vegetation or debris, so as to permit the minnows to reach all parts of the pond. KNOW POISON IVY Many people are introduced to poison ivy or its-relative, poison sumac, in a most unpleasant way, because they don't know how to avoid "acquaintancehip" with these plants. Poison ivy is most readily recognized by its leaves, which are always divided into three leaflets, and by its whitish, waxy fruits (though the plants don't always have fruits) that resemble mistletoe berries. "Leaflets three, let it be" is good advice. The leaves of poison sumac are divided into from 7 to 13 leaflets, arranged in pairs, with a single leaflet at the end. Through the winter the plants have cram colored fruits. Poison sumac grows only on wet land. Mid-Season Sale To Close July 6 Western Auto Supply Co's. Cut Rate On Tires to End Saturday, July 6, will bring to a close the Western Auto Supply Company's Mid-Season Sale of tires, camp goods and automobile accessories, advises C. V. Cruzen, local manager of the company. "There are but a few days left for autists to take advantage of these timely savings on fully guaranteed Western Auto merchandise," says Mr. Cruzen.

With Saturday, July 6, being the last day of the sale, we urge autists to check over their motoring and camping needs and take advantage of the low prices made possible by this sale." From Western Giant and Wear-well tires to camping supplies and automobile accessories, there are reductions which will appeal to every car owner who is preparing for summer trips. Camping equipment and tires are exceptionally popular at this season of the year and vacation trips will be made more enjoyable if an investment is now made in the various articles designed for camp comfort and traveling convenience. "Merchandise for this event has been carefully selected from all sections of the store to give the autolist just the things he needs for summer touring at a decided saving.

Sale prices on Western Giant and Wear-well tires can be made still lower by trading in old tires as part payment on new, fully guaranteed Western Auto tires. Gray Hair and Employment Seeking not supposed to have. Yet most of successful business careers are entered after the age of forty. If the business man enjoys a greater success after forty, it would appear that the wage earner would be capable of producing more after the age of forty for his employer than would the younger person. It is a matter of great importance to the younger people that they have themselves well established before the age of forty, or they will find the road a rough one to travel. The youth of today cannot afford to flitter away his youth in idle amusement. He must establish himself or he will build a barrier before success that is almost insurmountable. As time goes on this fact is becoming more and more apparent. There was a time when age or rather maturity was considered the time of a person's greatest worth or the age of ability at its greatest height, but now youth with its future before it is the most acceptable and desired by the business world. So the June graduate and the young person should look well to the future and firmly entrench themselves in a chosen profession or occupation before the gray hairs and marks of time make themselves known. Topographic Map of Washington, D. C. The Geological Survey of the Department of the Interior has brought out a new edition of its large map of Washington and vicinity. This map covers an area of 464 square miles, including the District of Columbia with adjacent portions of Maryland and Virginia, from the latitude of Rockville to a line 3 miles south of Alexandria, and from the Great Falls of the Potomac on the west to Forestville on the east. Its scale is 1:51,680, or 2 inches to the mile and it measures 44 by 52 inches. It is primarily a topographic map, showing the shape, size and relations of surface irregularities by the use of contour lines following every 10-foot interval of attitude above sea level, and is of particular interest and value to both officials and private individuals concerned in the development of the metropolitan area of the nation's capital city. It is also an ideal man for the California's Rank An interesting array of facts concerning this state's resources and accomplishments has been assembled in the special June number of California Real Estate magazine. Here are some of them: California's total wealth exceeds $15,000,000,000, making it the fifth ranking state. New York is first, Pennsylvania second, Illinois third and Ohio fourth. Federal tax collections for 1929 show California in sixth place. California's population today is about twice the entire population of the original thirteen colonies. California in 1928, in the federal census estimate, had 4,556,000 residents. The state controller places the population at approximately 5,400,000 in 1929. California counties' average size is 2,678 square miles, greater than the state of Delaware. California has the largest number of landing ports for airmen. California has 101,000,000 acres, of which less than 30,000,000 acres are in cultivation. Although consumption has gone up since the war, it is not certain that it will be able to keep pace with production unless the price to the consumer goes down. The expansion of the Washington urban area, the growth of suburban communities, and the progress in water front improvement projects during the decade 1917-1927 produce a striking difference in appearance between the original prints and the new map. A new feature is the showing of certain important political and administrative subdivisions not hitherto adequately mapped. These include the magisterial districts in Virginia, and the election, Maryland-Washington Metropolitan and Suburban Sanitary districts in Maryland. Attention was also given to the Virginia-District of Columbia boundary which the map shows to be indefinite for a considerable portion of its length. Another feature of this edition is a new highway classification, distinguish ing roads of hard, impervious surface from those without dust-proof surfacing and also indicating other main traveled roads. Testing Disproportion By IVA M. Three thousand two different herds in Imperial county three testers busy or may not be off generally; for it is dairymen are cont unproductive, unpure. The United States due to poor milk national calamity, overhead on 12,000 mails, the dairymen paying out $1,200 per report. Less than 2 per cent, 25,000,000 cows are some cause for in the fact that other states in the gressive plan test duction of all cow percentage is 10.6%, no sure, but much national percentage.

Gray Hair and Employment Seeking Gray hairs and the marks of age are the greatest difficulties that the job seeker has to overcome. The man or woman that has to search for a position after they have accumulated gray hair and the tell-tale marks of age are unfortunate indeed. It is almost impossible for such a person to find employment, no matter how capable. The employer is looking to youth to do his bidding. It is the opinion of the employers that man or woman of mature years has no future, while youth has. The employer is not seeking to fill the needs of the day, but of the future. The one of mature years may be capable of filling a position of today better than the young person without experience, but the young person has years of the future that the older person is The new edition is published opportunely for use in the investigations to determine a suitable site for the much discussed airport of the National Capital. For this purpose it serves admirably, showing with engineering exactness the shape and altitude of the hills, valleys, water bodies and streams, as well as all buildings, roads and other features that must be considered in locating and using an airport. The map of Washington and vicinity was first published in 1917. For the present edition the engraved copper plates were corrected from photographs obtained by airplane flights covering the entire area by the Air Corps, U.S. Army, and from revision and corrective work done by the Geological Survey. In view of the wide circulation of the first edition of this map, it is expected that this new edition, showing the results of careful and extensive revision, will be in continuous demand. It is adapted for use either as a mounted wall map or as a moderately large scale desk map of such detail and accuracy as to be serviceable in planning general engineering projects, municipal extensions, arieal developments and highway locations. It retails at 25 cents a single copy or 15 cents each in lots of 20 or more and may be obtained by applying to the director, Geological Survey, Washington, D.C.

Estin cheerfully furnished Anaheim Ga Testing Discovers Unprofitable Cows By IVA M. McFADDEN Three thousand cows, in seventy-two different herds, are now under test in Imperial county, the work keeping three testers busy. These figures may or may not be of interest to dairymen generally, for it is apparent that many dairymen are content to go on milking unproductive, unprofitable cows. The United States figures on losses due to poor milk sound like a national calamity. For feed, labor and overhead on 12,000,000 unprofitable animals, the dairymen of this country are paying out $1,200,000,000 per year, it is reported. Less than 2 per cent of the nation's 25,000,000 cows are under test, but there is some cause for local congratulation in the fact that California leads all other states in the adoption of the progressive plan testing individual production of all cows. This state's percentage is 10.6, not a high figure, to be sure, but much better than the national percentage. There are 1096 testing associations in the United States. The association testers spend a day a month with each member's herd, determining by actual scientific tests just what the butterfat production of each cow is. The poor cow thus cannot hide behind a good herd average, is unerringly found out, and eventually makes her way to the butcherer's block. The cost to the dairyman is small, amounting to little more than the wage of the tester for one day's work. The slogan of the extension service and Farm Bureau, as far as dairy activities go, is "Weed. Feed and Breed." Weed out the poor producers by testing, feed sufficient concentrated food to the good cow so that she may reach maximum production, and breed only to pure-bred bulls with proven daughters, thereby building up quality in the herd—these are the principles of operation urged by the Federal and state officials and accepted by intelligent dairymen all over the Union. Cow-testing is a modern achievement, that is, testing by scientific instruments through associations. The first association, formed in Newaygo, This is the time of year when the price of lemons begins to soar, which of course makes the thrifty housewife sore, too.

NOTICE OF ARANDONMENT OF HIGHWAY Notice is hereby given to all freeholders in the Third road district that the hearing of the petition of Roy K. Cole, et al., filed on the 18th day of June, 1929, to vacate and abandon a portion of that certain public street. Walnut Street, in the Third road district, in Orange County, California, has been set for hearing the 16th day of July, 1929, at 10 o'clock a.m., at the room of the Board of Supervisors in the Court House at Santa Ana, California. Sald road (or roads, as the case may be) is described as follows: Beginning at a brass-capped pipe marking the northwest corner of the Ontario Investment Company's Subdivision No. 2, as shown on a Map thereof recorded in Miscellaneous Maps, Book 6, Pages 43 and 44.

Cow-testing is a modern achievement, that is, testing by scientific instruments through associations. The first association, formed in Newaygo county, Mich., got under way in January, 1906. California followed in 1909, with an association in Humboldt county, a dairy center on the north coast. The largest association on record is that in Los Angeles county, with 10,430 cows signed up. The Imperial county work was launched in 1922. Former Farm Advisor Vern De Tar played a large part in "selling" the idea in Imperial. Since that vote on the Lenroot resolution was published the Senate seems to be very much worried by leaks. Why don't it hire a first class plumber?
