Anaheim, Calif., Oct. 10, 1929 SOULS FOR SALE by RUPERT HUGHES ILLUSTRATED BY DONALD RILEY FOURTH INSTALMENT What Happened Before Remember Steddon, a pretty, unsophisticated girl, is the daughter of a kindly but narrow-minded minister in a small mid-western town. Her father Rev. Doctor Steddon, violently opposed to what he considers "worldly" things accepts motion pictures as the cause for much of the evil of the present day. Troubled with a cough, Remember goes to see Dr. Bretherick, an elderly physician, who is astonished at the plight in which he finds her. Pressed by the doctor, Remember admits her unfortunate affair with Elwood Farnaby, a poor boy, son of the town set. As Remember and Dr. Bretherick discuss the problem a telephone message brings the news that Elwood has been killed in an accident. Dr. Bretherick accordingly persuades Remember to go West, her cough serving as a plausible excuse; to write home of meeting and marrying a pretended suitor—"Mr. Woodville"—and later to write her parents announcing her "husband's" death before the birth of her expected child. Unable alone to bear her secret, Remember goes to her mother with it. Her mother agrees with the plan of the doctor. Mem leaves town. On the train Mem accidentally meets Tom Holby, movie star, traveling with Rubina Teele, leading lady in the movies, who are the cynosure of all eyes. The train comes to an abrupt halt, a disaster having been narrowly avoided, and the passengers get out and walk about. At Tucson Mem meets Dr. Galbraith, a pastor, who knows her father and in the desert and the mountains for a long while—there's no telling how long—but it will be terribly romantic and fine for my health and when next you hear from me I may be so rich I'll send you a solid-gold sewing-machine, mamma, and papa, a solid-gold pulpit. There's no mail delivery where we're going and no way of reaching us, but don't worry. If anything happens I'll let you know If you don't hear from me for a long while you'll know everything's all right. You can send your letters to me here and I'll find them when I get back. Don't send me any more money. So good-bye and blessings on your darling heads. John sends his love. Your loving, loving, loving Mem. To be a chambermaid or a waitress was a dismal come-down, but, Mem decided, she must accept it! What right had she to pride? And so she fared into the desert to become a "widow"—as she had become a "wife." She went there to find obscurity and concealment. But everything went by contrariles, and from that oasis she was to be caught up into a fiery chariot, for all the world to behold as it rolled her round and round the world on an amazing destiny. Mem was deposited at the lonely station of Palm Springs, and fear smothered her as she watched the train vanish into the glare. But a rancher almost as shy as she, offered her the hospitality of his wagon. He said he was going past the Randles' ranch anyhow, and would leave her there. That girl is a friend tiful as a peach. She husband and come out to be a chambermaid rageous to think of won't you? The director twisted and stared at Mem then laughed at Holby "All right," he said chance. Two of him keeled over this neat heat. I'll have my wife to the wardrobe worn fitted out and made pear in the famine sack. The caravan resumed advance, and Holby say to Remember: "I've taken a great bear the thought of you servant when there were ear before you in this big scene and you'd please me—I mean this, won't you?" "Well, of course, if you a favor—" "An immense favor." "I don't know any." "That's all the best nothing to unlearn, the assistant director of you. I've got to do Mrs. Kittery, the and Leva Lemaire (was Mrs. David Wem into one of the made explanations to the curious ranch Kittery found a coast Wilkinson, who was took the job of make- Woodville reminded him of his friend's, which was Woodward "or something like that," as he remembered it—and how he had died in the desert. His story offered her the way, possibly, to get rid of "Mr. Woodville." She would take him into the desert and let him "die"—of thirst! She had found the way to be rid of her husband for the satisfaction of her people. Now if she could only find a way to be rid of herself. And that way came to her before the long day had burned itself away, for she heard two waitresses talking in the dining room below as they set the tables for supper. "Who was that letter you got from? some feller?" "Nah! It was from a lady, up to Palm Springs, askin' me was I comin'" But everything went by contrariles, and from that oasis she was to be caught up into a fiery chariot, for all the world to behold as it rolled her round and round the world on an amazing destiny. Mem was deposited at the lonely station of Palm Springs, and fear smothered her as she watched the train vanish into the glare. But a rancher almost as shy as she, offered her the hospitality of his wagon. He said he was going past the Randless's ranch anyhow, and would leave her there. After a time, Mem saw ahead of her a shimmering lake and trees and a waterfall. "That's Palm Springs, I suppose," she said. "No, ma'am, that's a mirage—a 'maginary mirage.' They's nothin' there at tall—no ma'am." And now that Mem had learned her own eyes could lie to her with convincing vividness, suddenly, as the road led them within eyeshot of two vast hills of said unspotted with vegetation, she saw what she was sure was pure mirage—a scene that must have come from her memory of a picture in an old volume of Bible stories. She would almost have sworn that she looked into the desert of Araby, for she seemed to see a train of camels in trappings, and, perched upon their billowy humps, men in the garb of Bedouins. The ranchman's horses seemed to suffer from the same delusions, and terrified by the camels they carried the wagon into the ditch, and over-turned it. Mem found herself gently spilled in the soft sand, so little injured; that her only thought was for pulling down her skirts. She lay still, reclining, not in pain, but in wonderment, as the wagon slid on its side, the driver stumbling along An immense favor "I don't know anyone" That's all the best nothing to unlearn. the assistant director of you.

Husband's got a ranch. How'd you like to go there and take the job?" The other voice moaned: "Me? Not much. I run away from home to get love and excitement!" Mem had never heard of Palm Springs, but she was looking for just such a place. And a ranch! She had always wanted to see a ranch. She wanted to get away from everybody that had ever known her. She wanted to find some deep, dark cave. Heat and fatigue whipped her into hysteria. She found energy enough for one last desperate letter home. Then she would declare her soul bankrupt and face the world free of responsibilities to the past. Darling Mamma and Papa: By now you have probably ceased to be surprised at anything I do. You'll think I have gone cleavage and I guess I have, but as long as I'm getting better and happier every day you won't mind. I've been too busy to write you all about John as I promised. He is out here scouting for a famous mine and is going prospecting for it right away. It is a famous lost mine that got abandoned on account of some old litigation and was nearly forgotten. So he's on the hunt for it and we're going out to hunt for it together. It means losing ourselves The ranchman's horses seemed to suffer from the same delusions, and terrified by the camels they carried the wagon into the ditch, and over-turned it. Mem found herself gently spilled in the soft sand, so little injured that her only thought was for pulling down her skirts. She lay still, reclining, not in pain, but in wonderment, as the wagon sled on its side, the driver stumbling along and still clinging to the lines as if he tried to hold giant falcons in leash. The caravan grew restive, too, and Mem was consumed with perplexity as she saw one of the animals forced to his knees not far from her. The shell, or whatever he was, tumbled from the saddle and ran to her. A brown face looked out from the hood and from the scarlet lips surrounded by a short beard came a voice startlingly un-Arabic. "Miss Steddon! Miss Remember Steddon!" She was so dazed that she could only stare into the mysterious face. The Arab smiled and laughed. "I'm Tom Holby—a common movie actor out on location." He lifted her from the sand, brushed her off, and went for her suitcase, which had been dumped into the cactus. "Have you come here to be with parents or friends or relatives?" he asked. "No I'm looking for a position as a chambermaid." "My God! You!" Her eyes were amazed at his horror. He cried again: "You with your beauty! Oh, no." She had been brought up on a motto, "Praise to the face is open disgrace." She snubbed him with a fierce toss of the head. A man in a pith helmet, dark goggles, and a riding suit drove up and was complaining: "Say Holby, do you realize you're keeping the whole company waiting in this ghastly heat?" "I beg your pardon, Mr. Folger," said Tom, and walked beside the director. "Just a moment, old man." Total Profits Over Last Year California's annual various industries B $2,000,000 mark way toward the third b An analysis of the formia's basic income based on available United States those for 1927 indicate annual income for that $25,000, basing the value facturedoutput on the products minus the cost. From agriculture C has increased from $20 to $69,325,000 in 1927. $95,518 comes from Lo alone. In field crops $523,000 in 1909 advance in 1927. Beans jumped in 1909 to $13,028,000. Value of the fruit B $240,265,000 as compared with 2000 in 1908. The orange crops of a valuation in 2000 advanced to $33,433 in first place among the vegetable class in 1909 and $68, Cantaloupes are the most with $407,000 in 1909 in 1927. In 1909 the lowest valued at $100,000 increa 000 in 1927. Live stock reached $194,485,000 in 1927 major product, advancing to $83,000 in 1909 to $81. In 1909 mining produced with $366.

She's just lost her husband and come out to this hell hole to be a chambermaid! It's too outrageous to think of. Give her a chance won't you? The director twisted in his saddle and stared at Mem with expert eyes, then laughed at Holby. "All right," he said, "I'll take a chance. Two of the extra women keeled over this morning from the heat. I'll have my assistant take her to the wardrobe woman and get her fitted out and made up. She can appear in the famine scene." The caravan resumed its plodding advance, and Holby turned back to say to Remember: "I've taken a great liberty. I can't bear the thought of your working as a servant when there may be a big career before you in the pictures. There is a shortage in the company for the big scene and you'd be a godsend. To please me—I mean the director—do this, won't you?" "Well, of course, if it would be doing you a favor—" "An immense favor!" "I don't know anything you know." "That's all the better. You have nothing to unlearn. Here's Mr. Ellis, the assistant director. He'll take care of you. I've got to go." Mrs. Kittery, the wardrobe woman, and Leva Lemaire (who in private life was Mrs. David Wilkinson) helped Mem into one of the cars after she had made explanations and said farewell to the curious ranchman. While Mrs. Kittery found a costume for her, Mrs. Wilkinson, who was an "extra woman," took the job of making her up. Police Schools In Crime Wave State University to Take Up Matter of Combating Offenders To combat the activities of California's crime world, police schools will be established in the near future at the state universities at Berkeley and Los Angeles. It was revealed in a report of the department of penology to Governor Young. In the proposed new police schools, the students will be taught not only the art of dogging down the criminal, but also the manner in which to collect and file valuable statistics. "While not discounting the value of opinion based on experience, we may no longer depend on what we as individuals know, and we must arrange and chart the facts," James A. Johnston, director of the state department of penology, explained. California's Bureau of Crime Identification, recently given legislative right to conduct investigations as well as act as a statistical bureau, has records that bode ill for future "bad" men and women of the state. Finger prints—unforgetable signatures to practiced eyes of the Crime Identification experts—have acted as calling cards left at the scenes of numerous crimes in past years. A total of 283 women, three girls, 2,608 men and 481 boys were dragged into the clutches of the law in August of this year through the activities of these men who make a life science of the formation of the epidermis of the hands of yegges and yeggesses. Forgers have their handwriting sampled at the bureau offices, and when the "rubber" checks start bouncing back, the handwriting is examined by the bureau men and perhaps identified as that of "Goofy Louls" or "Arsenic Al." With the identification completed, all that remains is to hale the guilty chap into court. Other sections of the department of penology are the Narcotic division, the division of pardons and commutations, Speed Cops Wear Uniforms? A Question which Officers Desire To Have Answered Must police officers of the city of Anaheim be attired in distinctive uniform and driving snow white automobiles or motorcycles when arresting speeders? There's the question that has every one wondering. A law passed by the last legislature provided for the organization of the "California Highway Patrol." Furthermore it stated that officers operating under this patrol, whose duty required them to enforce the Motor Vehicle Act regarding speeding and rockless driving, must wear a distinctive uniform and drive a car painted a distinctive color. White was chosen by the Motor Vehicle Division as the color for these cars. No one questions the effect of the new law on county traffic officers. They are the "California Highway Patrol" and must wear the uniform and drive the white car. But where do city officers come in under this scheme? Many municipalities allow their police officers a certain amount each month for using private cars in patrolling their beats. Naturally the officers are not anxious to paint their private machines a glaring white, with an emblem on the side. Many cities have protested against the state's claim that they must paint municipally owned police machines the patrol color. The motor vehicle division, under which the California Highway Patrol is placed, is generally of the opinion that the cities are obliged to equip their speed copes with the white machines or motorcycles. An opinion given by Attorney General U. S. Webb last week did little to clear up the situation. He only said that "officers enforcing speed laws must wear a distinctive uniform and drive a distinctively painted car." In referring to "officers" he did not say whether he meant both city and county officers. Unofficial legal opinion takes the view "An immense favor." "I don't know anything you know." "That's all the better. You have nothing to unlearn. Here's Mr. Ellis, the assistant director. He'll take care of you. I've got to go." Mrs. Kittery, the wardrobe woman, and Leva Lemaire (who in private life was Mrs. David Wilkinson) helped Mem into one of the cars after she had made explanations and said farewell to the curious ranchman. While Mrs. Kittery found a costume for her, Mrs. Wilkinson, who was an "extra woman," took the job of making her up. Watching a scene taken, Mem listened to Leva: "That's Robina Teele on that biggest camel. She's earning her money today by the sweat of her whole system. She's sweet on Tom Holby and as jealous of him as a fiend. Mighty nice boy and not spoiled a bit by being advertised as the most beautiful thing in the world. I was in a scene with him once; he was just as considerate as if I had been Norma Talmadge or Pauline Frederick." In a heat that drove the desert Indians into the shade and idleness, dainty actresses and actors invited sunstroke, and after a time the extras were called forth from the comparative shelter of the tents to the scene of action. Mem could not believe that this was she who stumbled across the sand, twitching her skirts out of the talons of the cactus, carefully dabbing the sweat from her face with a handkerchief already colored like a painter's brush rag, and jingling, as she walked, with barbaric jewelry. The mob went forward slowly and she recognized Tom Holby on a camel. She hoped that he would not recognize her, but he studied all the faces and, being used to disguises, made her out and halted her with the password: "How you standing it?" She called up to him: "All right, thank you." There was vast interest in her from now on. The leading man had singled out an extra woman for special attention, and the gossip went round with a rush as of wings. The director divided the extras into groups, with business assigned to each. (Continued next week) California’s Income From Industries Total Profits Over Two Billions Last Year California’s annual revenue from its various industries has passed the $2,000,000,000 mark and is well on the way toward the third billion. An analysis of the sources of California’s basic income based on the latest available United States census figures for 1927 indicates that the State’s annual income for that year was $2,030.-$25,000, having the value of the man life science of the formation of the epidermis of the hands of yeggs and yegeeses.

With the identification completed, all that remains is to hale the guilty chalk into court. Other sections of the department of penology are the Narcotic division, the division of pardons and commutations, and the division of criminology, otherwise known as the crime commission. The detection of physicians who either purposely or unintentionally, are responsible for addicts securing quantities of dope, was revealed in the governor’s report as the greatest problem facing the narcotic division. Swiss Chard is one of the most satisfactory of the green-leaf vegetables available in summer. Trim the leaves from the stalks, and cut the latter into inch pieces. Cook thme for about 20 minutes in unsalted boiling water in an uncovered pan. Chop the leaves and add them to the stalks and continue cooking until the stalks are tender. Drain, season with salt, a little pepper, and butter. Serve very hot. An attractive dish can be made by cooking the stalks and leaves of chard separately, making a white sauce for the stalks, and placing the seasoned leaves around the edge of the serving dish. Lemon and vinegar are also liked by many persons as a seasoning for Swiss chard. Whipped cream dressing is especially good with cabbage salad, but it may be used for any summer salad you like. To make it, beat half a pint of heavy whipping cream until stiff. Add 4½ tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons fresh grated horseradish, a grating of onion, a few drops of tabasco, and salt to taste. A dash of cayenne pepper may be used instead of tabasco. If the horseradish is in vinegar use only 2 tablespoons of lemon.

An opinion given by Attorney General U.S. Webb last week did little to clear up the situation. He only said that “officers enforcing speed laws must wear a distinctive uniform and drive a distinctively painted car.” In referring to “officers” he did not say whether he meant both city and county officers. Unofficial legal opinion takes the view that the law might be declared unconstitutional should it come to a test. Such a test case would be brought by some person who had been arrested for speeding by an officer not distinctively attired or equipped. The court would then have to decide whether or not the officer was competent as a witness, considering that he had not complied with the law in his attire and equipment. Should the court admit his testimony the “distinctive attire and equipment” phase of the new law would be automatically nullified. After this ever, we intend but rather to superintender have set aside strictly for the motorist. Duplicars will insure motorists drive informing them have their lights. Why Is Total Profits Over Two Billions Last Year California's annual revenue from its various industries has passed the $2,000,000,000 mark and is well on the way toward the third billion. An analysis of the sources of California's basic income based on the latest available United States census figures those for 1927 indicates that the State's annual income for that year was $2,030,-825,000, basing the value of the manufactured output on the total value of the products minus the cost of material. From agriculture California's income has increased from $222,939,000 in 1909 to $689,235,000 in 1927. Of this sum $95,-952,518 comes from Los Angeles county alone. In field crops wheat with $95,-523,000 in 1909 advanced to $165,967,000 in 1927. Beans jumped from $6,295,000 in 1909 to $13,028,000 in 1927. Value of the fruit crop in 1927 was $240,265,000, as compared with $50,744,-000 in 1909. The orange and grapefruit crops of a valuation in 1909 of $12,952,-000 advanced to $33,431,000 in 1927, taking first place among fruits. The vegetable class produced $6,417,-000 in 1909 and $68,308,000 in 1927. Cantaloupes are the most valuable crop, with $407,000 in 1909 and $17,729,000 in 1927. In 1909 the lettuce output was valued at $100,000, increasing to $15,381,-000 in 1927. Live stock reached $60,246,000 in 1909, and $194,485,000 in 1927, with milk fat, the major product, advancing from $19,-083,000 in 1909 to $84,807,000 in 1927. In 1909 mining produced $82,972,000, as compared with $366,781,000 in 1927. Patrolsum led all mining products registering $32,398,000 in 1909, as against $278,025,000 in 1927, according to the survey made by Gilbert H. Beesemer of the Guaranty Building and Loan Association. In the manufacturing field a total of $197,854,000 was recorded in 1907, as compared with $1,075,400,000 in 1927. For the manufacturing group values added by manufacture were used as a basis of computation. Los Angeles county alone, on a basis of actual value of manufactured products, had a 1927 output of$1,014,230,974.

B. Rider that he is abandoning his business and "moving out." Threatened with ruin in two successive years by "set fires" which ravaged his lands, the distracted apiarist wrote as follows: "Last June I complained bitterly about the apparent lack of fire protection in these hills. Now I wish to give a word of praise for the work of the local fire warden, Mr. P. J. Curley, during the recent fire. The assistance he gave us was prompt and adequate, and the manner of giving it most admirable. With such a gale blowing there was, of course, no possibility of stopping the fire, and everything for miles around us was burned; under the circumstances we were extremely fortunate in saving our buildings and bees. "I may add that we are moving out. The state of mind in this community being what it is, we can see no hole of freedom from fire as long as there is anything left to burn. The cattle must have range at any cost, it seems. But the world is wide, and there are places where the rights of the other fellow are given more consideration."

A roused by the menace of glaring lights on the highways, Biscalluz announced the first fifteen days of October would be devoted to educating the driving public in the necessity of eliminating illegal and dangerous lights. This, Biscalluz said, will be a "warning and education period." Actual enforcement of headlight provisions of the law will follow this period of education. "The new California highway patrol does not intend to harass the motorist but rather to be his friend," said the superintendent. "For this reason we have set aside this fifteen-day period strictly for the purpose of educating the motorist. During this period, our officers will instruct the public, stopping motorists driving with glaring lights, informing them of the law and how to have their lights adjusted. "After this period has expired, however, we intend to enforce the law rigidly and will require motorists with glaring headlights to have them adjusted at once in compliance with the terms of the new law. Glaring headlights constitute one of the gravest evils on the highways. Other phases of law enforcement will follow the headlight drive, as a part of the general campaign."
