L. A. Preparing for Elks Convention More Than 125,000 Visitors Are Expected During Summer Southern California is the mecca for more than 5,000 automobile tourists now en route from states east of the Rockies to the 65th National Elks convention in Los Angeles, July 7th to 13th, it was stated by Carl E. McStay, general chairman of the conelave and field director of the Automobile Club of Southern California. While no check has been made of the traffic from western states, it is believed that all previous convention-bound highway movements will be exceeded. The convention is expected to bring upwards of 125,000 visitors to California next month. The final presentation by the motion picture industry of the maneth $1,000-4000 motion picture electrical pageant, which was the sensation of the recent Shrine convention here, will take place on Thursday night, July 11, in the Coliseum. Monte Blue will head the spectacle as grand marshal. The pageant will be more glorious than ever before, according to plans made known by Frank N. Murphy, director of lighting effects. During that afternoon, 10,000 Elks garbed in picturesque costumes typical of the early days of their home regions, will march in the Coliseum in a grand dress parade, interspersed with beautiful floral floats and bands, chants and drill teams. Immediately preceding the electrical pageant of illuminated floats on that evening, the Uplifters' Club will stage what is believed to be the first outdoor night polo game in America. Tickets admitting to the dress parade, the polo game, and the electrical pageant may be bought either in person or by mail at the Elks Temple, Sixth aid Parkview, opposite Westlake Park, Los Angeles.

Simple Precautions Against Fly Urged Discovery of the Mediterranean fruit fly in Florida and made of infested Florida citrus fruit in several other states recently has centered the attention of officials of the United States Department of Agriculture on widespread clean-up measures in orchards and fruit-packing houses. Clean-up of fruit and destruction of fruit dumps and rejects is particularly necessary this year not only because of the fruit fly, but because of other common pests, according to Dr. C. L. Marlatt, chief of the Plant Quarantine and Control Administration. Such clean-up of orchards and safe disposition of packing-house culls is probably seldom made, Dr. Marlatt says but the necessity is clearly apparent and he has urged all department inspectors to give wide publicity to the need for the practice and if possible to secure its general adoption. The reports of finding infested Florida citrus fruit received from other states mention only the finding and destruction of such fruit. Dr. Marlatt says, and make no mention of any clean-up of storage places and premises. Dr. Marlatt is anxious that fruit handlers, dealers, and the public generally realize the necessity of thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting cars, storage rooms in refrigerating plants, boxes and other containers, and the immediate surroundings, in shops or other places where such fruit has been kept. Risks of spreading the fruit fly and other pests can be very much reduced, Dr. Marlatt says, by making sure that all boxes and other containers are thoroughly cleaned, followed by very careful sweeping up of all dirt, dust and trash which may be beneath the boxes. Such sweepings should be carefully taken up and burned. Applications of oil, boiling water or steam to all places likely to be infested with the larvae of the fruit fly, if present, are advised. LEGION NOTES Calling attention to the unusual field and forest hazard situation facing California during the summer months. CRIME OVER THERE The police commissioner of London recently made a report which is brief but interesting. It showed a total of 18 homicides in the world's largest city during the year 1928. That trifling figure in itself is a revelation to Americans. But there is more to go with it. Every murderer was apprehended. Eleven of the 18 were convicted. The other seven committed culicide. Summary: 18 murders; 18 penalties. Put the record alongside that of any American city of one-tenth the population. The number of homicides in our cities will run two to twenty times as many and the percentage of convictions about ten times less. We do not believe that there is any fundamental difference in the moral nature of English and American people. But there is a difference in respect for the law. The reason is that in England the prospect of punishment for murder is practically 100 per cent, while in the United States it is about ten per cent. It doesn't take a high-powered crime survey to get something out of a report like that from London. Teaching Law-Observance The government is to aid itself in law enforcement by teaching the children in the schools the wisdom and merit of observance of the Eighteenth Amendment and the disloyalty and foolishness of violating this amendment. It is the plan that the W. C. T. U., without the power, money and machinery of the federal government has been operating for many years. It has been successful in proportion to its power, money, facilities and the zeal of the particular women who push it. Undoubtedly their educational program has influenced this action by the federal government. The wonder is that some such educational program was not placed in operation a long time ago None could have a reasonable objection to teaching the school children the observance of the laws. It would put more meaning into their salute of the flag. The adoption of this plan by the federal government will be inaugurated on the 28th at the meeting of the ITEMS OF A speed of 45 m/s Mexico highways; traffic and others became operative; the code passed buret; went into effect The State Highway hosted all roads with every place entailed speed limit on a track is 15 miles 20 miles per hour in business district hour in residence parks, unless a vacant local authoritie signs.

Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Carroll and two children leave on Saturday for Seattle, where they will spend the summer months, returning home in time for the opening of school. The Ladies Auxiliary of St. Michael's Episcopal church gave a musical tea at Guild Hall on Wednesday afternoon to which members of the congregation and friends were invited. A very entertaining musical program was presented and refreshments of tea, cakes and sandwiches were served. Mrs. Malmann and Miss Winifred Melrose presided at the tea tables and Mrs. McCullough had charge of the musical program. Jack Dusenbury, alleged check artist, for whom Anaheim officers have been searching for the past few months, has been arrested in Los Angeles on a fictitious charge, according to a message received at the police department. According to officers, Dusenbury was the man who asked to use telephones, later giving the addresses as his own. When merchants called to identify him, they were unable to get an answer, the telephone wires having been cut. Nineteenth operator's licenses, one duplicate and five chauffer's licenses were issued here this week at the city hall. The latest news rom juvenile circles is that hoop rolling is coming back again, so that the pedestrian won't be safe even on the sidewalks. LEGION NOTES Calling attention to the unusual field and forest fire hazard situation facing California during the summer months, State Commander F. N. Belgrano of the American Legion has directed each of the three hundred odd Posts of his organization to stand ready for service in preventing fires and in protecting the forests and fields of the state against losses which last year reached approximately $3,000,000. In the interior and mountain counties Commander Belgrano has directed the various American Legion posts to be prepared with "snacks, shovels, and other means of fighting forest and grain fires." "Careless smokers apparently are the worst enemies of the timberlands and watersheds of California for an area more than 1,559,000 acres was burned over last year by fires caused by persons who were thoughtless," Commander Belgrano declares in his message to the war veterans. "Shortage of rainfall and snow in the mountains of California during the winter months have made it imperative that motorists, hikers, campers and other guard against fire hazards, the principal of which is the unextin- guished cigarette, cigar or camp fire," Belgrano says in urging the Legion members to caution. State-wide observance of "Safety Sunday" June 30, has been ordered of all American Legion posts in California by State Commander F. N. Belgrano, Jr., of San Francisco. Appropriate ceremonies are to be held in the various communities by the American Legion posts, calling public attention to the need for safety precautions by the motoring public and the citizens in general. "Caution signs" are to be erected by many of the American Legion posts at dangerous highway crossings, adjacent to public schools and in other places where danger lurks, especially to children, according to State Commander Belgrano. The American Legion safety campaign is national in scope and has been indorsed by many organizations throughout the United States. San Diego World War veterans, aided by a big citizens' committee, are planning one of the greatest conventions that the American Legion in California has ever held in this state, according to word received by State Adjutant James K. Fisk of the San Francisco headquarters of the ex-service men's organization. The state convention will be held during the week of August 17-23, and delegations from all sections of California will be present for the annual meeting of the World War veterans. With the facilities at hand in the southern city, the convention committee has made arrangements to entertain 20,000 delegates and guests of the World War veterans organization. Hotel accommodations are being arranged for by the various posts throughout, and the housing commission under the charge of Dr. R. O. Loosdon and W. F. Klotsbach, who an- been successful in proportion to its power, money, facilities and the zeal of the particular women who push it. Undoubtedly their educational program has influenced this action by the federal government. The wonder is that some such educational program was not placed in operation a long time ago None could have a reasonable objection to teaching school children the observance of the laws. It would put more meaning into their salute of the flag. The adoption of this plan by the federal government will be inaugurated on the 28th at the meeting of the National Educational association. Not only is the planner excellent one because it is reasonable and successful, but it also costs less and it is not without a peculiar moral and ironical angle. The bootlegger, whose children come home instilled with the idea that patriotism and law observance are inseparable, will find it impossible to square himself with his youngsters. He may find he must go into another business in order to retain their respect. GILFILLAN FEATURES Have always led the field in radio progress.

California World War veterans who have failed to apply for their adjusted compensation certificates from the federal government must do so before January 2, 1930 or incur financial loss, if they fail to do so, State Adjutant James K. Fisk of the American Legion warns the ex-service men and women. Fisk points out that "should the veteran, who has failed to apply, die, his dependents will suffer substantial loss in the amount of the adjusted certificate, when they make application." The extension of time for the application of certificates was made by the of the American Legion, government through the intervention ITEMS OF INTEREST A speed of 45 miles per hour on New Mexico highways, with due regard to traffic and other existing conditions, became operative in that state when the code passed by the recent legislature, went into effect on June 11th. The State Highway Commission has posted all roads with safety signs at every place entailing any risk. The speed limit on approaching railroad tracks is 15 miles per hour; a speed of 20 miles per hour may be maintained in business districts, and 25 miles per hour in residence districts and public parks, unless a variation is demanded by local authorities and so stated on signs. The recent rain in the Kern river district has caused the water to be high but it is gradually going down and clearing. Excellent fishing is now to be had in Salmon-South Dry Meadow, Dome, Trout, Manter, Taylor and Rattlesnake creeks on the South Fork of the Kern. All varieties of trout are to be had, with an average size of ten inches in the streams and larger sizes in the river. Salmon eggs and worms provide best bait. Warm, clear weather is now reported in Mono county, with splendid fishing at Birch and Big Pine Creek lakes. Lochleven, Eastern Brook, Rainbow and Steelhead are obtainable. Worms provide the best bait, while blue bottle, coachman and dark flies are bringing results. Spinners are also good. No mosquitoes as yet in this district. The road leading from Big Pine to Glacier Lodge in Mono county has recently been widened and improved. Good fishing is reported rom Black, Third and Fifth lakes, Eastern Brook, Lochleven and Rainbow trout being taken, which average in size from ten to eighteen inches. Worms, salmon eggs and dark flies bring best results. The weather is clearing in this district and the days are warmer. Nights are still somewhat cold. Christian Science Church The prayer of David, "O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy will; and to thy subservience," concludes nothing in ancient or in modern systems on which to found my own, except the teachings and demonstrations of our great master and the lives of prophets and apostles." Serve small portions of food to children so that they can clear their plates without the feeling of being stuffed, or nagged into eating. TIMETABLE A. T. & S. F. Ry.

Christian Science Church The prayer of David, "O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles," constitutes the Golden Text in the lesson-sermon on "Christian Science" Sunday in all churches of Christ, Scientist branches of the Mother Church, the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. The scriptural selections include words of the early prophets as well as passage from the later writings of the New Testament. One citation comprises the following verses from the Acts of the Apostles: "And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch... There came also a multitude out of the cities round about Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits; and they were healed every one." A number of the selections from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" are from the chapter entitled, Science, Theology, Medicine, and include the statement of Mary Baker Eddy, the discoverer and founder of Christian Science: "I have demonstrated through mind the effects of truth on the health, longevity and morals of men; and I have found REAL OPPORTUNITY FOR CITRUS OR AVOCADO GROWERS We have a French-Normandie Apartment in Hollywood to trade for clear citrus or avocado land with water, having genuine value of $35,000.
