J. Ton. A small part of the returns received on this fruit, which were in the form of insurance money, was retained by the association to offset the cost of handling, which could only be estimated at this time. If, at the end of the year the actual handling costs are found to be less than estimated, a refund will be made, Mr. Ton said. There were 238,000 field boxes in the pool and the settlement just made brings the average per field box price to 95 cents, it is reported. A payment on oranges, amounting to $1 per box on first grade and 75 cents per box on second grade fruit, is expected to be made later this week, Mr. Ton said. NEW TRAFFIC RULES If you mutilate the fenders of your fellow motorist's car or otherwise damage it and seek to avoid responsibility by sneaking away without leaving your name and address, you are liable to arrest. The ivision of Motor Vehicles issued this warning, pointing out that the new state law requires the motorist to leave his name and address if he runs into a parked vehicle and to notify the police as well. Division officials are hopeful the new law will assist in eliminating the "hit and run" tactics employed by some drivers on parked automobiles in the crowded cities. Drivers who insist on attempts at using their horns as musical instruments will also find themselves "in bad" under the new act for it bans the use of horns except for giving reasonable warning and prohibits "harsh and loud" horn noises. OPERATOR'S CARD On August 14th, 1929, by order of Frank G. Snook, chief, Division of Motor Vehicles, all operators' licenses is issued prior to January 1st, 1927, were cancelled. This means that every motorist in the State of California whose license is dated 1926, or before, NOW has no legal right to drive. Every such motorist is subject to arrest at any time and may be penalized by a maximum fine of $500, or six months in the county jail, or both. The division estimates that there are a great many motorists now driving with cancelled licenses. Look at your operator's card. If it is dated 1926, or before, go directly to the Division of Motor Vehicles, or nearest police station and renew your license free. Go now while there is no penalty, don't wait to be arrested and fined. The law prescribes that every operator of a motor vehicle must have an operator's license. LOCAL R Albert H.

Congress Interests Auto Owners Present Session to Deal With Motorists' Problems The present session of Congress which got under way when the Senate convened on August 19, will be an important one from the standpoint of car owners and many matters vitally affecting their interests will be up for attention. Some of the major matters in which the motorists of the country are interested include: Increase in Federal aid appropriations from the present $75,000,000 annually to at least $125,000,000 in order that the construction of important interstate highways may be pushed forward at a more rapid pace. Opposition to the proposal to levy a tariff on petroleum and petroleum products which would undoubtedly mean an increase in the price of gasoline at least two cents per gallon. It is estimated that this proposal would cost car owners approximately $210,000,000 annually. Continuation of the campaign to have the Federal Government assume the obligation of building highways through the public lands of the west as a means of connecting up important interstate highways and also of protecting valuable timber lands from the ravages of forest fires. Increase in the annual appropriations for forest roads and trails from $7,500,000 to $12,500,000 a year. Continuation of the warfare on an unnecessary number of toll bridge franchises where the bridges are to be operated indefinitely by private interests at a heavy cost to the motoring public. In addition to these major matters, attention will be given to numerous other moves which threaten to undermine the long-standing national policy of free highways, including various proposals to build toll roads and numerous other plans which seek to end Federal aid.

Rare Orange County Fruits Displayed Many of the rare subtropical fruits that have found a home in Orange county will be displayed at the Orange County Fair in a special feature booth that will show the native home of each. The feature exhibit is in charge of Farm Advisor Wahlberg of the Agricultural Extension Service.

An invitation is extended to anyone growing rare subtropical fruits in Orange county to enter specimens in this department. They should be delivered to the fair grounds or farm advisor's office, 606 N. Main street, Santa Ana, not later than Tuesday afternoon. New Trojan Gym. to Rise A combined men's and women's gymnasium to be built at a cost of approximately $750,000 will be constructed at the University of Southern California during the coming semester, with the ground scheduled to be broken within the next three weeks. Plans are being rushed to replace physical education facilities destroyed by fire in June, according to announcement released by Professor William Ralph LaPorte, chair man of the department of physical education at S.C. The new structure, constituting the fifth building to be erected on the Trojan campus during the past two years, will be of Italian Romanesque design. It will be of three stories, with additional facilities in a large basement and roof gardens, the latter to be equipped as a solarium. The first floor will include a spacious lobby entrance leading to the administrative offices and will be flanked by right and left wings to be used by women and men students respectively. A patio will located directly beyond the lobby and will lead in turn to the major recreational swimming pool, which will lie between the men's and women's departments and will be used again by them. This pool will be aug- HIGHWAY PATROL PAY A survey of salaries paid to traffic officers operating in the various counties of the state with a view to working out a definite standardization program will be launched shortly by the Division of Motor Vehicles. It was announced here by Eugene W. Biscaluz superintendent of the California Highway Patrol. A tentative check of the payroll shows a wide difference exists in the amount of salaries paid the officers in the various counties. Since the new motor vehicle act has put all officers directly under state control, both Biscaluz and Frank G. Snook, chief of the division, believe salaries should be standardized so that all officers receive the same pay, regardless of the county in which they are employed. Traffic officers now receive a flat monthly salary from which they are expected to furnish their own transportation. Some counties pay as high as $500 a month, while others pay as low as $150. This situation has been very unsatisfactory. Snook declares, and has resulted in numerous complaints from the officers. The results of the survey will be reported to B. B. Meek, director of the department of public works, who is empowered under the new motor vehicle act to fix salaries. The German government now has the allies scaled down to one-fifth of their original demand for reparations and is negotiating to reduce the amount still further. It's our opinion that it will be later discovered that the Germans have a Scotchman disguised with a turned-up moustache conducting the negotiations for them. A patio will located directly beyond the lobby and will lead in turn to the major recreational swimming pool which will lie between the men's and women's departments and will be used jointly by them. This pool will be augmented by two minor instructional pools to accommodate inexperienced swimmers and learners. Use of the recreational pool will be restricted to experienced natators. Locker rooms will also be located on the first floor. Handball courts will be constructed in the basement, while special units for physical education majors, classrooms, special lockers and dressing rooms for faculty members and offices for the university health service, accommodating doctors and nurses, will be situated on the second floor. Rooms and apparatus for the correction of physical abnormalities will be provided on the third floor, as well as the dance studio, the regular gymnasiums, basketball courts with seating accommodations for spectators, athletic training quarters for the Trojan teams and boxing and wrestling rooms. Other buildings erected within two years at the University of Southern California are the Student Union, Bridge Hall, Science Hall and Philosophy Hall. J. H. Peterson, president of the California Wool Growers' Association, has called a meeting of the board of directors and members for September 4, at the State Fair grounds in Sacramento. The meeting will be held at 10 a.m. in the assembly room of the horticultural pavilion. The members are also asked by Peterson to attend the sheep judging, September 2, 3 and 4, at the California Diamond Jubilee State Fair.
