Youthful Drivers Take Heavy Toll Their Inexperience and Recklessness Causes Deaths of Hundreds of Californians The licensing of youthful automobile drivers constitutes one of the most serious hazards to pedestrians and to the operation of motor vehicles in California. This fact, which has long been surmised, has now been definitely established, with overwhelming statistical proof, through an analysis of accident records covering a period of six months, by the State Division of Motor Vehicles. The youthful outmobile driver, it is now proven beyond any question, pays a heavy toll for his inexperience and recklessness, and also exacts a heavy toll in life and limb from other users of the streets and highways. Variety of Surprising Causes The research of the Division shows that for each 100,000 licensed drivers between the ages of 14 and 19, fully 771 will be involved in traffic accidents where injury or death occurs. This number is more than twice as many accidents as occur to drivers in older age groups. With such youthful drivers as become involved in traffic accidents it is very difficult to select outstanding features as a cause of the accident. Accidents among this group of drivers show a greater variety of surprising causes than accidents occurring to those of older age groups. The immature youth is just indiscreet and often does the most irrational and unusual things in his driving. Frequently, in his capriciousness, he takes other drivers by surprise and accidents ensue. Figures for Six Months During the first six months of 1930 Involved in traffic accidents it is very difficult to select outstanding features as a cause of the accident. Accidents among this group of drivers show a greater variety of surprising causes than accidents occurring to those of older age groups. The immature youth is just indiscreet and often does the most irrational and unusual things in his driving. Frequently, in his capriciousness, he takes other drivers by surprise and accidents ensue. Figures for Six Months During the first six months of 1930 youths between the ages of fourteen and nineteen were involved in over 1,631 separate motor vehicle accidents. All of these resulted in either injury or death to themselves or others. There are approximately 211,325 young drivers licensed by the state within these age limits—14 to 19 years. Rigid enforcement of the operator's license law on this group is in order. The courts can aid materially in effecting this correction by promptly suspending or revoking a youthful driver's license in flagrant cases of violations of the traffic rules. Also, the court should demand substantial proof of each driver whose license has been revoked or suspended requiring the driver to show that he has not driven a motor vehicle at any time after the revocation or suspension. More Youths Arrested Officers of the California Highway Patrol have recently reported arresting an increasing number of youthful drivers operating cars after their driver's license has been revoked or suspended by a court order. Very severe penalties under the law await the youth who does this. Therefore the disposition of the courts throughout the state has been to treat the youth leniently, charging off a great deal to his inexperience rather than to class him as a malicious offender. However, where it is now apparent that the youth is largely responsible for death and injury in the motor vehicle accidents he causes, a more rigid policy to effect a substantial control of his indiscretions is in order. Unless a youth can drive his car as prudently and as carefully as an adult he should not be permitted to drive. This chastisement he has definitely brought down upon himself by his own performance. It is now clearly evident that he is more than twice as much responsible for traffic accidents as older drivers. Social Welfare Work by County Department The county department of social welfare dispensed $10,064.51 among the needy in the month of January, says a report made by the department to the county supervisors. The sum of $7,957.26 was spent for the relief of Americans and $1,106.15 among Mexicans. WASHINGTON, D. C.—Conflicting views of government policy have brought about the deadlock which, with the present session of Congress near its end, has blocked every relief measure except the $45,000,000 seed loan bill. The difference between the President and the House, on the one hand, and the Senate, on the other, are based on the former's view that the distressed should be aided by private contributions and the latter's stand that the emergency requires funds from the federal treasury. This conflict became evident almost as soon as Congress met in December. It first became clear when the administration bill authorizing $30,000,000 for seed and feed loans in the drought areas was introduced in the House after the Senate had decided on $60,000,-000. The next step toward the present impasse was taken when the Senate attempted to attach a rider to this bill providing for loans for food from this money. The Senate finally accepted defeat on this issue but secured a compromise on the amount of money carried. This was done only after the Red Cross had been drawn into the conflict, however. Officers of the Red Cross told senators in a committee hearing on the food provision that their organization was fully equipped to handle the emergency. Chiefly on this testimony the Senate gave in. Two days later the Red Cross issued its appeal for $10,000,000 of contributions to meet the crisis. The so-called food riots at England, Ark., had occurred in the meantime and many Senators became convinced the situation was far more serious than had been thought. This led inevitably to the action of the democrats in the Senate in attaching the $25,000,000 fund for Red Cross distribution to the interior department supply bill, the Red Cross announcement it would refuse the money if endered, and the ultimatum of the Senate democrats setting this and other measures as the price of avoiding an extra session. Meanwhile, people are going hungry in parts of 15 states affected by the drought. In many of the large cities unemployment has caused equal sufferance of the Amateur Trapshooting Association.

Social Welfare Work by County Department The county department of social welfare dispensed $10,064.51 among the needy in the month of January, says a report made by the department to the county supervisors. The sum of $7,957.26 was spent for the relief of Americans and $2,106.75 among Mexicans. The department was active in relieving the unemployment conditions. The number applying for jobs was 454 and work was obtained for 42. Most of the calls for employment and for employees originated in Santa Ana, only six jobs being found outside of the city. Two of these were in Anahaim, two in Orange, one in Tustin and one in Greenville. A total of 26 calls for work came from Anahaim, 23 from Fullerton, 22 from Orange, 21 from Brea, 6 from La Habra, 6 from Placentia, and 27 from Huntington Beach. THE PETRIFIED FOREST Eighteen miles east of Holbrook, Arizona, lies the famous Petrified Forest, now a National Monument. It is readily accessible from U.S. Highway No. 66 to those driving east or west. Gigantic trees of prehistoric species that have not been definitely determined, agatized by some cosmic alchemy, are scattered throughout the red and grey badlands of this section, which attracts more than 75,000 sightseers annually. The Petrified Forest is divided into four forests covering a territory of about sixty square miles. Fair roads penetrate all but one forest. A ranger station is located at the entrance to the monument. There one can obtain information as to the different specimens of petrification. Those traveling east on Highway No. 66 may go to the Petrified Forest by driving 22 miles east of Holbrook, and then taking the road via Adamana. One financial expert says the foundations for many future fortunes will be laid this year. But one difficulty is to get hold of any rocks to start a foundation. This led inevitably to the action of the democrats in the Senate in attaching the $25,000,000 fund for Red Cross distribution to the interior department supply bill, the Red Cross announcement it would refuse the money if endered, and the ultimatum of the Senate democrats setting this and other measures as the price of avoiding an extra session. Meanwhile, people are going hungry in parts of 15 states affected by the drought. In many of the large cities unemployment has caused equal suffering. Not a single state in the drought regions has acted to help matters by special appropriations although some are considering such measures. Aside from the seed and feed loan funds, distribution of which is now well under way, the one constructive measure, federal or state, has been the emergency public works bill. This measure, carrying $80,000,000 for public road work and about $35,000,000 for waterways and other work, did not involve fundamental differences of policy which are interwoven with the food fight. Much of it will be useless until warm weather sets in or until legislatures of the states move to accept the cooperative funds available if matched by state money. Part if it, however, has already been put in service and is giving work to many, especially on public roads. This was possible because of a provision which permitted part of the money to be loaned to some of the states for use in matching the regular federal allotment. EARLY AMERICAN STAGE Authorities differ as to the time and place of the first theatrical production in this country. What is claimed to have been the first theater erected in North America was built in Williamsburg, Virginia, in 1716, for the housing of a company of actors imported from England. New York is said to have seen her professional actors in 1732. Amateur productions were, however, fairly common even in the preceding century, the cast being often made up of college students appearing in classical plays. As early as 1665, three actors were hailed into court at Accomac, Va., on the charge of having given an offensive performance entitled Ye Bare and Ye Cub." The judge ordered the plaintiff to pay the costs. 4-H Clubs to Grow Programs by Monthly 4-H radio program be broadcast over the network of the National Company, on the third Friday month, according to R.H.National Farm and Home programs will start at 1 p.m. Boys and girls members of 4-H agriculture leaders and rural people eleven western states should be interested in this of the daily agricultural Outstanding 4-H Club leaders will tell of their activities in this national organization of over $800,000 and girls between the ages who are led by 65,000 boys men and women leaders Club work is a publicly directed educational center United States Department of State agricultural county governments cooperated designed to teach through so organized as to teach trees in agriculture and hides, and the finer things while at the same time wholesome, industrious, boys and girls.

Autoists May Save Cash On Income Tax Allowable Deductions Are Announced by Bureau of Internal Revenue Nine important deductions are allowable motorists to filing federal income tax returns for 1931, according to the Automobile Club of Southern California which has secured from the U.S. Bureau of Internal Revenue a brief outline of allowable deductions, as well as important items of expense which cannot be deducted. Nine Deductions Allowed Following are allowable deductions: 1. All sums paid during the calendar year as registration fees, driver's licenses, state personal property taxes and municipal taxes; 2. The total sum paid as a gasoline tax; figured on a three cent basis; 3. Interest on money borrowed for the purchase of an automobile used for other business or pleasure; 4. All operating and maintenance expense, including depreciation, on automobiles used wholly for business; or a pro rata share of such expenses, representing business use where a passenger car is chiefly (more than 50 per cent) used for business. Depreciation usually is figured at 20 per cent per annum; 5. Automobile insurance on automobiles used for business purposes; 6. Uncompensated losses, sustained by reasons of damage to any automobile used for either pleasure or business; 7. Damage paid for injuries to persons or for destruction of property provided the automobile at the time of the accident was being used for business; 8. The amount of financing charges on automobiles purchased which covers the interest and risk on the loan, but not the amount covering the premium. Hints For the Home PRESSED VEAL Here is a good rule for pressed veal—a rule so simple that you could hardly call it a recipe. Buy a knuckle of veal. For a leaf of pressed veal to fill a bread pan three-quarters full you should ask the butcher for a joint that would yield about two pounds of meat. With the bone it will amount to much more in weight. Also get him to saw it through bone in two or three places. If it is shaped there may be fine splinters of veal that will shake painful morsels. The butcher should be set on to cook in boiling water assigned with a half a bay or guard leaf and a pinch of spice such as allspice, all-spice, mace and sage, and allowed to simmer gently for about five hours. Now drain off the stock and pick meat from the bones, adding the marrow to the meat. Put the bone through the grinder. Boil the骨头 down to about a cup and a half. It can also be added to a teaspoon of lemon juice if the flavor is liked. If you wish to get quick results you may add a teaspoon of gelatine dissolved in a little cold water to the liquid, but this is not necessary if you are not in a hurry. Now mix the ground meat and stock and pack it into a pan lined in cold water. If you like, you may put halved olives or sour pickles in the top. To get iron rust stains from an enameled sink, bleach them with a solution of oxalic acid. Repeat until the stain disappears, then rinse thoroughly. When first teaching a little boy to dress and undress himself, it is a good plan to make all his trousers exactly alike so that he will always find the buttons and buttonholes in the same positions.

The First Church of Big Orange Show At San Bernardino Huge Relief Map of Colorado River Aqueduct One of the Chief Features The relief map displays in miniature every feature of the vast stretch of country, bound on the north by the Great Canyon and on the south by the Mexican line, and from the interior of Arizona westward to the Pacific Ocean. More than 20,000 square miles of territory are shown by the map. Map In 27 Sections In particular the map will show in accurate detail the country to be traversed by the Metropolitan aqueduct from the Colorado river to the cities of Southern California. The map is made in 27 sections. It is composed of 200,000 separate pieces of fibre board and weights 8,000 pounds. It attracted national attention three years ago when it was shipped to Washington, D.C., and placed on exhibition for a period of two months in the Senate office building, during consideration of the Boulder Dam project Act. Parker Route Construction The various types of construction to be used on the Metropolitan aqueduct along the Parker route will be indicated on the huge relief map. The manner in which the aqueduct will pierce the mountain barriers by means of tunnels and cross the level sections by means of covered concrete conduits will be plainly revealed on the map. Officials of the Orange Show have announced that the map will be on display adjacent to the auto section. 5. Automobile insurance on automobiles used for business purposes; 6. Uncompensated losses, sustained by reasons of damage to any automobile used for either pleasure or business; 7. Damage paid for injuries to persons or for destruction of property, provided the automobile at the time of the accident was being used for business; 8. The amount of financing charges on automobiles purchased which covers the interest and risk on the loan, but not the amount covering the premium in insurance to protect the finance company's interest; 9. Loss sustained where an automobile used for business purposes is traded in for a new car. Two Important Items The following two important items are not deductible, according to the automobile club: 1. The amount paid for an automobile used for either business or pleasure, this being a capital expenditure and subject to claim for depreciation where the automobile is used for business purposes; 2. Loss sustained where an automobile used for pleasure is traded in for a new car. In making deductions, motorists must differentiate between business and leisure vehicles and between tax payments and capital expenditures, the motor association points out. Ticket Nonimited for Elks Election The local Elks lodge will hold its annual election at the first meeting in March, with the installation at the first April meeting. The ticket nominated is: Lotus H. Loudon, exaltedaler; Jean Arroues, leading knight; Leonard Evans, loyal knight; Walter Waters, lecturing knight; Evan Alsip, secretary; Guy O. Brunet, treasurer; William Bielfeldt, tiler; A. H. T. Osborne, trustee for the three year term and F. A. Yungbluth, trustee for the two year term. Fred A. Backs, who has served as treasurer since the lodge was organized fourteen years ago, declined to serve again. 4-H Clubs to Give Programs by Radio Monthly 4-H radio programs are to be broadcast over the Pacific Coast network of the National Broadcast Company, on the third Friday of each month, according to R.

Christian Science Lesson-Sermon "Mind" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon, Sunday, in all branches of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. A Scripture selection in the Lesson-Sermon includes the following verses from Matthew: "Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb; and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw. But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils. And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand; and if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand? . . . But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you." A passage from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy, states: "The exterminator of error is the great truth that God, good, is the only Mind, and the supposits opposite of infinite Mind—called devil or evil—is not Mind, is not Truth, but error without intelligence or reality." NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE WHEREAS, default has been made in the payment of the indebtedness secured by, and in performance of the covenants contained in that certain trust deed dated August 15, 1928, made executed and delivered by Frederick J. Engel and Sadie Engel, husband and wife, as trustors, to National Bankitaly Company, a corporation, as trustee for Bank of Italy National Trust and Savings Association, beneficiary, which trusted was recorded on September 1, 1928 in book 20f of Official Records, page 1 records of Orange county, California; and WHEREAS, on October 28, 1930, said beneficiary, the owner and holder of said trust deed and the debt secured thereby, applied to and directed said trustee in writing to execute the trust by said trust deed created, and to make sale pursuant thereto; and WHEREAS, notice of such breach of the obligations of the trustors and of the beneficiary's election to cause to be sold the property below described to satisfy said obligations has been recorded as is provided for by law, and more than three months have elapsed since Monthly 4-H radio programs are to be broadcast over the Pacific Coast network of the National Broadcast Company, on the third Friday of each month, according to R. H. Lamb of the National Farm and Home Hour. The programs will start at 12:15 and end at 1 p.m. Boys and girls who are members of 4-H agricultural clubs, club leaders and rural people from all the eleven western states, Lamb says, should be interested in this new feature of the daily agricultural broadcast. Outstanding 4-H Club members and leaders will tell of their experiences and activities in this national voluntary organization of over 800,000 rural boys and girls between the ages of 10 and 21, who are led by 65,000 local volunteer men and women leaders. This 4-H Club work is a publicly supported and directed educational enterprise of the United States Department of Agriculture, state agricultural colleges and county governments cooperating. It is designed to teach through doing and is no organized as to teach better practices in agriculture and home economics, and the finer things of rural life, while at the same time developing wholesome, industrious, public-spirited boys and girls. The N. B. C. network can best be heard either from station KECA, Los Angeles, or KFSD, San Diego. JAY WALKERS IN ENGLAND Jaywalkers will be no more in Merrie England" if a plan suggested is carried out. It is proposed that walls be erected along the sidewalks in busy streets in order to keep pedestrians "in". These walls would be 12 to 18 inches high—not high enough to form an obstruction to the unloading of vehicles, but high enough to make it a bit difficult to step over them. There would be gaps in the barrier at the intersections only; crossing at any other section of the wall would be illegal. An example of the "crying need" for such protection is cited by the proposer of the plan, who states that on Kensington High Street, London, a narrow pavement causes hundreds of pedestrians to be in the "permanent way" of traffic.

These "club" salesmen prey mostly upon the rural car owners who do not have the facilities for checking the standing of the promoted organization.
