PAGE FOUR Charles (Buddy) Rogers and Mary Brian in the Paramount Picture "River of Romance" with Wallace Beery, June Collyer "River of Romance" is a costume play adapted from the famous play, "Magnolia," by Booth Tarkington. The theme of the action is the rise to fame of Charles (Buddy) Rogers, the star, following an incident in which he seems to be a coward. The scenes are laid in the lower Mississippi valley on a plantation, on the river boats and in a gambling hall. The time is the 1840's. There are three beautiful girls in the cast. Mary Brian is the little girl who loves Buddy in spite of all the seeming disgrace to which he has fallen. June Collyer is her coquettish older sister who forsakes her love for Buddy when she suspects him of being a coward. Natalie Kingston is the comely Mexican an octoroon, and the companion of Beery, the gambling hall proprietor. The picture has all the romantic flavor of a mint julep. It is distinuzhed for its beautiful sets, costumes and photography. Buddy never looked more handsome than he does in the stately dress of the 40's. Bean Crop Is Hurt By Heat County Auditor Jerome Says Smaller Crop Will Result The heat under which Orange county has been sweltering has done much damage to the bean crop according to 1,600,000 Operators' Licenses Secured About 900,000 Persons Have Been Examined The Division of Motor Vehicles yesterday estimated that more than 900- Bean Crop Is Hurt By Heat County Auditor Jerome Says Smaller Crop Will Result The heat under which Orange county has been sweltering has done much damage to the bean crop according to W. C. Jerome, county auditor. "It is hard to estimate the loss by heat, which will be included in loss because of lack of moisture. The combination of dry winter and a hot summer undoubtedly will result in a smaller crop. I should think it would reduce the normal crop by 25 per cent, and thus the loss. Orange county was hit harder, I think, than Ventura and other counties north, because they had the moisture," Mr. Jerome declared. Rumors have been abroad to the effect that the hot weather may cause a $50,000 loss on the crop this year. Officials on the Irvine ranch stated that there would be a loss this year the financial greatness of which is unknown and that the crop would be a great deal smaller than that of last year. They attributed the anticipated loss to the heat that has enveloped this vicinity. Cemetery Asserts Propetry Exempt Attorney Claims Association's Property is Non-Assessable H. J. Forgy, Santa Ana attorney, appeared Tuesday before the board of supervisors to file a petition for cancellation of a $53,310 tax assessment against the Santa Ana hotel, which he said was owned by the Fairhaven Cemetery association, and which, he asserted, therefore was exempt from taxation. The petition stated that all the profits from the hotel property were turned over to the cemetery association and placed in the fund which provides for perpetual upkeep of cemetery lots. Owing to the fact that all members of the board were not present at the time the hearing took place the matter was continued until next week's session. Forgy claimed that the constitution and the law respecting cemetery districts provide that 50 per cent of the purchase price of lots shall be placed in a fund or invested according to law to provide money for upkeep of the lots. This money, he said, had been invested in the Santa Ana hotel property by the Fairhaven Cemetery association. The property was bought several years ago at $175 a front foot and now is said to be worth several hundred dollars a front foot. 1,600,000 Operators' Licenses Secured About 900,000 Persons Have Been Examined The Division of Motor Vehicles yesterday estimated that more than 900 - 1000 persons had been examined in California for new operators' licenses since the order was issued on July 11, cancelling all licenses issued prior to January 1, 1927, in accordance with the new motor vehicle act. To this estimate was added 700,000 for those who secured licenses between January 1, 1927, and July 11th, making an approximate total of 1,600,000 licences in the state that are now legal. Pointing out that all licenses issued prior to January 1, 1927, are now void, Frank G. Snook, chief of the division urged all motorists who have not done so make application at once for renewal. Although a reasonable length of time will be permitted for all to renew before the law is invoked, Chief Snook said it would be necessary shortly to set an actual deadline, after which state officers will be instructed to make arrests of those who have failed to renew. Licenses hereafter, it was announced will be issued on forms that comply with the new law. These will be in the form of a folder fitted in an envelope just large enough to go in the ordinary card case. Each folder will bear a number, thus simplifying the keeping of the records, and will show the date upon which the license expires. Two years from the time it is issued. There are also spices on the folder license for a record of all court convictions for violations, this being another requirement of the new law. Reports received by the division by its traffic officers and others indicate tremendous benefits have resulted a ready for the examinations given to drivers. "Drivers have been awakened to a new consciousness of the importance of careful driving and obedience to the law," said Snook. "Everywhere people are 'boning up' on the law. Old-time drivers are learning things about the regulations and about driving they never knew before. "There has been a general improvement in driving. People, fresh from the examinations and the study they have been compelled to make of their laws, are giving better signals, are driving less recklessly and observing the speed regulations more closely."

This money, he said, had been invested in the Santa Ana hotel property by the Fairhaven Cemetery association. The property was bought several years ago at $175 a front foot and now is said to be worth several hundred dollars a front foot. It also is said that the Santora Land building on Broadway in Santa Ana is connected with the cemetery district and that attempts have been made to have it exempt from taxation. Last year, the first one in which the cemetery association is said to have owned the hotel property, it was not taxed, but County Assessor James Sleeper stated that this year he had assessed the property in the belief that it was taxable. The matter seemed to hinge on the question as to whether all the profits from the hotel property actually were placed in the endowment fund for upkeep of the cemetery lots. Forgy, who pointed this fact out himself stated that he was willing to testify under oath that the entire profits did go to that fund. Los Angeles county, which heretofore has not taxed property held in a similar manner, started assessing it this year. Whether the legal points involved can be settled satisfactorily or whether court proceedings will be necessary to define the law clearly in such matters is a question which is said to be under consideration in several counties of the state. Helium Gas Found Large deposits of helium gas were recently found in Colorado according to government reports. The new gas field is said to be by far the richest helium deposit ever found. It is estimated that the supply will meet the demands of airship builders and operators for at least twenty years. CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH L. T.

Trojan News Nearly fifty years ago, on September 4, 1880, a great crowd gathered in the middle of a broad stretch of field three miles from the outskirts of the city of Los Angeles, to witness the first cornerstone laying ceremonies of the University of Southern California, which instituting is preparing to celebrate its senior class with a fitting 50th anniversary program in 1930. Almost a thousand people eager, earnest and enthusiastic, clustered around the rough speakers' platform. Educational leaders church dignitaries civic officials and far-sighted business men, wearing impressive suits whispered, were accompanied by their bespustled wives. It was during the summer of 1879, just a half hour away, that the original declaration of the Trigan university was issued. In August, 1880, the incorporation of the institution was accomplished with a trio of donors presented by board of directors with 308 lots in Los Angeles. By the articles of incorporation the State of California granted the name, the University of Southern California to the new institution of learning, and education was established by the phrase "said university shall be open in every respect for the equal education of both sexes." The first board of directors rose on September 3, 1880, to organize and adopt a code of by-laws. At this initial meeting the late Reverend Marion McKinley Leard, A.M., was elected the first president of the university. The cornerstone laying exercises on September 4, 1880, were sponsored by the Methodist Episcopal church, with which denomination the University of Southern California, now non-sectarian, was identified during its early years. While the University of Southern California is preparing to celebrate its semi-centennial in 1920, the city of Los Angeles is ready plans for its sequential continuation for the following year. Thus the 150-year old university are soon to experience outstanding birthdays. Recent figures show that the population of the one and the enrollment of "Sausage" Is All Entered By C. N. P. A.

Of particular importance is the fact that this cargo is 100 cases and 100 lurres or grapes. At the present time, South American does not buy California grapes importing that crop from Europe. The order came to the council from its trade-scouts, Assemblyman Van Bernard and Dudley Moatian, who state that in Argentina and Uruguay they have found both the governments and the business men eager to develop trade with California. They soon are to enter Brazil. On the basis of the information given them to date, the scouts have wired the council urging that it seriously consider initiating a call for a Pan-American Trade Convention in California some time next year. The scouts state that the government of Uruguay has voted funds to send trade-scouts to California, and that the minister of agriculture in Argentina has announced that he will send scouts here. Indicative of the interest being shown by the foreign governments in the scouts, the following dispatch is cited: "The council's trade-scouts went to the Province of Mendoza in Argentina as the gate of the railway company to inspect the fruit section of the National Fruit Association. The South American newspapers and journals are living the scout extensive and favorable publicity."
