100-Yard Record Again In Danger Famous Sprinters At Vancouver For Meet This Week-End The stock of wares that Percy Williams, Eddie Tolan, Claude Bracey, Frank Wykoff, et al., will display next Friday and Saturday, July 12th and 13th, in Vancouver, British Columbia, will be—the sporting public may rest assured—the best that the gentlemen have to offer the trade. When it is remembered that this will be the last day at which the runners will display their respective abilities this year, and nearly each runner has a special incentive to make those abilities count the most for himself, the Canadian race looks as if it might come closer to producing a 100-yard record-holder than the wind-swept track meet at Denver on Independence Day. This young Percy Williams is all right. Were he similar to Mr. Simpson of Ohio State, no doubt he would have pulled a muscle during the past week. But he is a good sport and figures to show his countrymen that his Olympic championships were not flukes. Of course, he has everything in his favor. He knows the track, agrees with the climate, and is probably well acquainted with many of the men who will officiate at the meet—all of which should help the young Canadian to have a good day. He will be out to win, and because of these things mentioned may readily be installed as one of the two leading favorites. To cope with the speed thought capable of being produced by the Olympic sprint champion, the United States offers, chief amongst a worthy group, a sophomore student of the University of Michigan, a small, besparkled negro boy whose rise in track has been phenomenal, Mr. Edward Tolan. It is true that some years ago an Eddie Tolan HS high school champion in the mind of the writer, Wykoff is the fastest human today, in spite of the fact that some of his exhibitions have been to the contrary. Had it not been for the great amount of energy spent by Wykoff in winning every 100 faster time than Williams won the Olympic 100 itself, surely the Glandale boy would have made a more creditable showing. This year it seems that Wykoff's peak was reached shortly before the national A. A. U., and in inability to successfully defend the title he won in 1928 may be wholly set to the slump immediately following one's peak performances. Though the Canadian 100-yard dash will lack some glamor due to the absence of curly-haired Charley Borah and blond-headed Charley Paddock, who has again "quit" track, still there is a great chance for a new record, and certainty for a great race. Big Prizes for Stock At Jubilee Fair America's finest livestock will compete for $37,000 in cash prizes at the California Diamond Jubilee State Fair and Western States Exposition in Sacramento, August 31-September 9. In announcing the premium list, President R. A. Condee and Secretary Chas. W. Paine of the state agriculture society predicted this feature of the fair will set a new record for number and quality of entries. Of the prize money $18,335.00 will go for beef and dairy cattle, $7,604.00 for horses, $4,394.00 for sheep, $3,680.00 for swine and $881.00 for goats. In addition to the cash, there will be medals and ribbons in practically every classification. Entries for the livestock department will close August lst. The general committee in charge of the department is: Fred H. Bixby of Long Beach; chairman; John M. Perry of Stockton; T. H. Rawsay of Red Bluff; W. H. Brooks of El Centro. William de Again "The Idle Version of 'Willy at the Fox Sunday,' as a note from the faction." Mayer talkl Millie's third edition was "next was a dramatic sleek in which the starred on." To cope with the speed thought capable of being produced by the Olympic sprint champion, the United States offers chief amongst a worthy group, a sophomore student of the University of Michigan, a small, beerkilled negro boy whose rise in track has been phenomenal, Mr. Edward Tolan. It is true that some years ago an Eddie Tolan became U.S. high school sprint champion—but no one seemed to care so much. George Simpson, a year or two before had become the same thing, but it didn't make him very well known either. Eddie burst into fame this year when he defeated George Simpson early in the season, run third in Simpson's 9-2-5 race later on when—because of a bad start—he was six feet behind at the 60-yard mark, and then on July 4th, became United States A. A. U. sprint king at Denver. There are many who believe that race at Chicago would have been Tolani's if he had had a good start, and when Tolan is rated as good as George Simpson—for Simpson is a great runner in spite of his apparent chicken-heartedness in the matter of racing Wykoff—the colored boy is elevated to the highest level of American runners. Bill McGeah, the star S.C. fresh half-miler, who, incidentally, led Ray Couger to the tape during the past season, was high in his praise for Simpson, when he saw the Ohio boy in action at the U.S. Olympic finals last year. Bill was eliminated in the finals by the stronger and more experienced runners for at that time he was just a high school kid. "Simpson looked like some smooth running machine," McGeah said. "He was the only one who had a chance to beat Wykoff, but of course he couldn't finish the final when he pulled his muscle at the 75-yard mark." And this year, be it remembered, little Eddie not only beat Simpson, but Wykoff, too! So the "midnight express," as Tolan is affectionately called, is today the United States' best bet against Williams as a result of his supremacy last week. As for Southern California, of course it is pulling for Flying Frank Wykoff. DEPENDABLY COLD Of the prize money $18,335.00 will go for beef and dairy cattle, $7,604.00 for horses, $4,394.00 for sheep, $3,680.00 for swine and $81.00 for goats. In addition to the cash, there will be medals and ribbons in practically every classification. Entries for the livestock department will close August 1st. The general committee in charge of the department is: Fred H. Bixby of Long Beach, chairman; John M. Perry of Stockton, T. H. Rawsay of Red Bluff, W.H. Brooks of El Centro, Harold J.

Weaver of Columbia, Mo.; Fred S. Hultz of Laramie, Wyo., and H.G. VanPelt of Waterloo, Ia. Bixby will have direct charge of the horse division which has the following classifications: Percherons, Belgians, Clydesdales, Shires, draft teams, hatchy horses, standard bred light horses, thoroughbred horses, Arabian horses, American saddle horses, ponies and mules. The beef cattle division, of which Ramsay is in charge, will have Shorthorns, Herefords, Aberdeen-Angus and fat cattle of any breed. Greene is chairman of the dairy division with classifications for Holstein Priestlan, Jersey, Guernsey, Ayrshire and Milking Shorthorns.

Easy Terms — 18 Months to Pay Southern Counties Gas Company "Modern Homes use the Gas Refrigerator" William de Mille Scores Again in "The Idle Rich" "The Idle Rich," all talking screen version of "White Collars," which plays at the Fox California Saturday and Sunday, as a new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer talkie feature, is William de Mille's third all-dialogue picture. The noted director is first sound picture was "The Doctor's Secret." His next was a polarization of his own dramatic sketch, "The Man Higher Up," in which the late Theodore Roberts starred on the stage. In the present film, which is taken from the famous stage comedy hit, "While Collae," de Mille included many novel sound effects and technical advances. No one has never before seen this film. MODEL KITCHEN The model kitchen built by the Southern Counties Gas company at its office at 207 West Second street, Santa Ana, will be opened to the public and formally dedicated to the women of Orange county at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. July 17th, according to an announcement by C. E. Rutledge, district manager for the company. The public generally, but especially all women, are invited to view the kitchen which was designed by Ernest Living Preese, probably the most noted designer of convenient and colorful kitchens on the Pacific Coast. The hours for the inspection of the kitchen on the opening day are from 2 o'clock to 5:30 in the afternoon. Refreshments will be served. Following the formal opening, the kitchen will be open daily during business hours and the public is invited at any time. According to Mr. Rutledge, the ideas presented in the model kitchen may be used by anyone who is planning to build a new kitchen or to remodel an old one. "The purpose of the company in building and equipping this model kitchen," he said, "is that we may render this additional service to our consumers in the Orange county district. Nothing in the model kitchen is for sale. It is only a working kitchen and it will be used each business day. If these who visit the kitchen see ideas which they can use in their own kitchens, they most assuredly are welcome to them. In all probabilities the designer of the Orange county kitchen, as well as other famous kitchens, will be present on the opening day together with executives officers of the company and visitors from Los Angeles, Long Beach, Sacramento and other cities. Is definitely determined other states will be invited to join in. Details of the contest are being carried by Mrs. Jane Amundsen, superintendent of the educational department of the state. Bean Weevil Has Always Been a Pest The bean weevil is new world in its origin, and as far back as history goes in the Americas, infested beans in both continents, according to E. O. Essig, professor of entomology in the University of California, in a recent report to the farm advisors. The insect first was described by Thomas Say in 1831 from specimens taken in Louisiana. There is plenty of evidence, however, that it occurred in ancient times. "It seems probable," says Professor Essig, "that the bean weevil has long been associated with beans in ancient America and no doubt followed by trails of the northern migrations through Central America and Mexico into North America. The beans grown in North America by the Indians, especially those of the south and southwest, must have been regularly subject to injuries by this insect. These beans are certainly even more susceptible to attacks of the bean weevil than the species of beans native of other countries." Red lima beans taken from the ancient Indian graves in the valley of Ica and the Anno Necropolis in Peru show the work of the bean weevil. Ica records date from 1 to 500 A.D., whereas those of Ancon are more recent by a thousand years. However, according to Professor Essig, both antedate the arrival of the Spanish in Peru. An adult bean weevil taken from the Ancon beans does not differ in anatomical characteristics from the bean weevils of today. These beans were collected by Max Uhle and Mrs. Charlotte Uhle about 1907 and sent to Prof. A. L. Krober of the Department of Anthropology, who turned them over to Prof. G. W. Henry of the Agronomy Division for identification. Noting the insect injury, Prof. Hendry in turn submitted the beans to Professor Essig for further examination. One way to find out whether you are still young is to attend a dance on one of these hot summer nights and try... New Walnuts Tried At College Station R. G. LaTue of the University of California experiment station near Riverside, has been collecting foreign walnuts for the past five years and has a rather remarkable assortment. The collection includes nuts from wild trees of the Punjab, Kashmir Valley, and Simla Hills in India. These are for the most part inferior in size due to adverse growing conditions in their native land. He has collected several types of the Juglans Nerium from Persia and Turkestan. These have shown a fine growth excelling the hybrids in some cases. A short time ago Mr. LaTue received some nuts, the Juglans Foley, from the Tschalkal Mountains, Valley of Chodschak, Russia. He has been one year in obtaining these. He also received recently some wild walnuts from Turkistan, which though small, have a very pleasing flavor. Not long ago he obtained several other nuts from Mongolia, of nuts from Russo and the Isle of Pyrrus. As a whole they compare favorably, he is appearance with its grown branches even seen superior to our host varieties. Other types which the station has succeeded in trying are the Juglans Pyriformis from Central Mexico, a large black nut with a hard shell; Juglans Honors from Polivia, South America; Juglans Inuchiris Cuba; Juglans Domingensis, San Domingo. The last two are rather small. Which hard-shelled and apparently not deadfruits. Two seedlings from the Juglans Intermedia, Texas, have been planted. Nuts from this variety are small, some being only one-fourth inch in diameter. They are also black. Some Juglans Poliviensis from Bolivia have also been planted. They are quite similar to the Juglans Honorei Spelling Bee To Be Conducted By Radio Mrs. Herbert Hoover will be requested by the State Agricultural Society to prepare a list of 100 words for a nation-wide radio spelling contest, to be held during the California Diamond Jubilee State Fair and Western Exposition, the first week in September. It is proposed to have the various states which desire to enter the contest select their best high school speller either at their state fairs or by some other method. The winners in the respective states would go to a radio broadcasting station in their own states and spell the words as pronounced before the microphone. The list of words prepared by Mrs. Hoover would be sent under seal to the radio stations to be held until the hour designated for the contest. The nation-wide contest is proposed by Ellis Franklin a director of the California State Fair who originated the state fair spelling bee. Arrangements are now being made. Franklin stated, for a New York and California radio contest. The New York State Fair will hold a high school contest this year just before the opening of the California State Fair, and challenges has been sent by California for a match between the high school winners of the two states. As soon as the date... Anaheim, Calif., July 11, 1929 According to statistics one and a third billion dollars are expended each year in America for cakes. Yet the World War proved that we are not a nation of cake-eaters. An eastern educator says that big classes are tending the flivverize the schools. Well, that ought to enable the youngsters to get a rattling good education.
