IN LITTLE OLD NEW YORK By CARL H. GETZ IN LITTLE OLD NEW YORK ... Down in Chinatown small boys have learned that the Chinese carry their money in their hats so they stretch a rope across sidewalks, Chinese trip over ropes, hats go aroiling, small boys after them, Chinese after small boys. In June, 1932, 165 couples were married in New York's Little Church Around the Corner. In June, 1933, 186 ceremonies were performed. Times must be getting better. An amusing new croquet set, in which the wickets represents animals and figures, is on sale here. The game is becoming increasingly popular. A company here has perfected a device to record automatically telephone conversations. Business in riding togs is galloping right along. Apparently horseback riding is a popular depression diversion. Persons afflicted with skin diseases have been seen going to the New York Aquarium for treatment with bacteriophage, developed in water in which tropical fish live. The institution, being only a few experimental treatments. The Broadway Association is offering prizes for those merchants on the street who do the most business with restrained displays. The Association is trying to rid the street of pushcarts. The other day they sold surplus animals up at the Central Park Zoo. One bison brought $75. Circuses showed no interest. A New York department store has a parking rack for bicycles. Grand opera at popular prices is doing well in New York despite the hot ing prizes for rthose merchants on the street who do the most business with restrained displays.

A New York department store has a parking rack for bicycles. Grand opera at popular prices is doing well in New York despite the hot weather. New York florists have been interested in news from Germany that a black rose has been grown in that country. Efforts to grow such a rose are being made here. It is possible to ride a distance of 18 miles on the subways of New York for five cents. More and more men are going to work each morning in New York without hats. The hat shops don't think much of the idea. There is a man in New York who trains pigs to star in vaudeville acts. He says business is not so good. There is also a man in this city who makes a living designing lace stockings. Then the other day we heard of a man who is a specialist. He advises interior decorators about the right kind of picture cord to use in a room or whether any shall be used at all. The men in New York who make a living illustrating barber shop windows say that business could be much better. New York department stores are demonstrating new television sets. They are using television in selling. They are selling gloves to women in New York which when worn on the hands reveal the finger tips. The idea is that a well-manicured hand should be partly shown. Women wearing shorts and riding bicycles were seen in the city's parks last week. It is said that shorts will become the accepted costume for bicycle riders. New York City has more people that the present population of 14 states. Only three states in the Union have more people than New York. There is a well-to-do woman in New York who has an entire 18th century French apothecary shop in her picturesque red brick Colonial house on the north side of Washington Square. C. C. C. Continued For 6 More Months President Roosevelt on August 18 decided to maintain the Civilian Conservation Corps for another six months. According to press dispatches, the president will send a personal message to the men now enrolled asking them to find jobs to make way for other fellows out of work to take their places. If any man after an honest effort to find a new job is unable to do so, he will be allowed to re-enroll. Robert Feshner, director of emergency conservation work, has ruled that no more men will be enrolled during the present period. 110,000 Visitors at Huntington In Year More than 25,000 visitors came to the Henry E. Huntington Library and Art Gallery, San Marino, during July and August. This brings the total attendance for the exhibitions year, since October last, to 110,000. Prominent among the groups accommodated in the exhibitions during the past two months were large summer session classes from several colleges and universities in California, as well as organized tours of teachers and students from eastern educational institutions. On Manhattan island, New York City proper, there is one acre of park and playground to every 1,032 of the population. There is a New York columnist who travels a great deal. Every time he gets on a train he begins to write about the wonders of air transportation. A man was held up the other night on the corner of 43rd Street and Sixth avenue. That's almost in the heart of Times Square, the center of the white lights district. There is a law in New York which prohibits duelling. New York City has more people that the present population of 14 states. Only three states in the Union have more people than New York. There is a well-to-do woman in New York who has an entire 18th century French apothecary shop in her picturesque red brick Colonial house on the north side of Washington Square.

DECLARES VOTING PROVISION LEGAL IN WATER DISTRICT Fears Resulting From Decision In Merced Set Aside With Explanation of Draft Attorney A. W. Rutan of Santa Ana, who drew up the draft of the Orange County Water District, this week declared that fears expressed over the legality of the property owner provision in voting were ill founded. These fears were raised when Superior Judge E. N. Rector of Merced held that the Water Conservation act of 1927 is unconstitutional because it provides for voting on an acreage basis. The basis of casting one vote for each $100 of assessed valuation of property owned, as provided by the Orange County Water District act, is by no means the same as voting according to acreage, Rutan said recently. The distinction between acreage and assessed valuation methods of voting, he said, is that while two voters might each own 100 acres of land and therefore cast the same number of votes, the $100 acres owned by one man might be much more valuable than the 100 acres owned by the other. The ruling of Judge Rector, in a case at Visalia, Tulare county, filed against directors of the Kaweah Delta Water Conservation act of 1927 was unconstitutional because it denied equal protection of the law to citizens living in the district, through the acreage voting plan. Rutan's illustration, he said, shows how there would be inequality through the acreage voting plan. The assessed valuation plan of voting has been upheld in the courts and is used by reclamation districts up and down the state, said Rutan. The Orange County Water District act, he added, has no connection with, nor authority from the Water Conservation Act of 1927 and would not be affected by Mexico Near, Yet Removed From U.S. Declares Southern Republic and This Country Complementary; Though Differences Shown Although geographically a neighbor, Mexico is more remote from the United States than any European country, from the standpoints of race, economics, politics and psychology. Making this affirmation, Carleton Beals, lecturer and author, before the Conference on International Relations at International House, said it is incumbent upon the United States to make the effort to evaluate the Mexican culture, as that country is in many ways the key to understanding of all Latin America and satisfactory relations with the countries to the south. Extreme Nationalism in Mexico "Today," says Beals, "Mexico is passing through a stage of extreme nationalism, with all the mistakes, harshness, and hopes which the effort at national unification invariably signifies. The United States is a vast laboratory of industrial standardization, rapid transportation and mechanical efficiency. Through the material uniformity of our culture, we expect an ever greater release of our people for the spiritual individualism that makes nations great." "But in Mexico the basis of human relations must now and in the future be diversification; unification must be achieved through a reconciliation of varied local culture and industries. The resultant Mexican nation, still in the making, will encounter its spiritual values in a summation of its industrial and social efforts, as contrasted to American diversification over and beyond material achievements. Two Nations Not Competitors "Mexico and the United States can never be, except to a limited degree, industrial competitors. They are complementary. The development of tropical agriculture and native resources in Mexico on the proper scale will provide many things which can never be produced in the United States; Mexico at the same time becomes a greater purchaser of American goods. Similar- Sportsmen Busy For Next Month With the deer season in full swing along the coast and in southern California; with trout fishing good in many localities in the central and northern part of the state; with the striped bass running in San Francisco areas; with the dove season open on September 1, and with the Sierra districts open to deer hunting September 16 the sportsmen of California are having chances to exercise their enjoyment of diversified sport during the next month. The quail, waterfowl, wild pigeon and pheasant seasons, opening later in the year, will add further to their enjoyment. The quail season opens on November 15 for six weeks in all districts except 1 1/2, which opens November 1 for two months, the state fish and game commission announces. Pheasants may be legally hunted this year, for the first time in the state's history, from November 15 to November 20, both dates inclusive. In addition to this, the clam season opened along the coast on September 1. These, with abalone fishing opened, will give the shore fishermen an opportunity to have some fun. This Is Season to Plant Hay, Pasture The months of September and October are normally considered the most favorable season for planting hay and pasture crops in Orange county, according to W. M. Cory, assistant farm advisor. For that reason growers should soon begin the preparation of their land if contemplating the growing of alfalfa or pasture. Proper land preparation before seeding is a most essential operation. Both of these crops are small seeded and unless a fine seed bed, with moisture near the surface, is prepared in advance the stand will be disappointing. Irrigation is usually the most costly operation in the production of these crops. Therefore, careful leveling of the land before seeding and the laying out of an irrigation system which requires the minimum of labor and water Conservation act of 1927 was unconstitutional because it denied equal protection of the law to citizens living in the district, through the acreage voting plan. Rutan's illustration, he said, shows how there would be inequality through the acreage voting plan. The assessed valuation plan of voting has been upheld in the courts and is used by reclamation districts up and down the state, said Rutan. The Orange County Water District act, he added, has no connection with, nor authority from the Water Conservation Act of 1927 and would not be affected by invalidating of that act. The tulare county desicion, while being the law for that county, would not affect other counties of the state until and unless it should be upheld in the higher courts, according to Deputy Attorney W. F. Menton. Every 4-H girl in New York enrolled in a canning club should be inspired to master the art of home food preservation by the fine awards offered in a national contest accepted by the state club leaders. Hundreds of gold honor medals, gold wrist watches, prize education trips and agricultural college scholarships will be presented the most proficient girls. Notice of the contest is received by newspapers from the National Committee on Boys and Girls Club Work of Chicago, which is conducting it for the third year. President Roosevelt recently accepted honorary chairmanship of this committee. The contest is sponsored by the Kerr Glass Corporation as an incentive to club girls and to promote national health and thrift. Thousands of families have been helped to higher standards of living by previous contests. Elvis Dutcher of Michigan, a last year scholarship winner, helped many house-wives learn how to can on a budget plan. She is now demonstrating at the Chicago World's fair. Gene Shepard, 17 year Alabama champion, is paving her way through high school and helped a brother and sister reduce college expenses $300 per term. Waneta Guthrie, 15 year old national champion of Kansas, realized an income of $861 from her canning projects. Each of the girls won a gold medal, gold watch, a scholarship and a trip to the National Club Congress in Chicago. Every county champion will receive a gold medal and the state champion a watch. The latter will be eligible to Two Nations Not Competitors "Mexico and the United States can never be, except to a limited degree, industrial competitors. They are complementary. The development of tropical agriculture and native resources in Mexico on the proper scale will provide many things which can never be produced in the United States; Mexico at the same time becomes a greater purchaser of American goods. Similarly, they will be complementary in a cultural sense. 'Oriental thought seeks to shut out life and at the same time dominate it by immobility and reflection.

He seeks to dominate life by embracing it. Thereby he sacrifices the future to the present: he finds beauty and poetry but not efficiency. A fusion of all three approaches toward life might conceivably guarantee the supreme happiness of a people." ROTHY DARNIT Explosive Expert Always Cautious Motorists who take chances and depend on luck may find worthy of consideration the career of Robert T. Barton, noted explosive expert, who recently passed away at a ripe age in Tulsa, Okla. His life was an exemplar of carefulness. For 50 years Mr. Barton, famed as an oil-well "shooter," handled deadly nitro-glycerine — never recklessly. The possibilities of explosives fascinated him as a youngster. Before he was large enough to lift his father's muzzle-loading gun he investigated it thoroughly — but never at the business end. In youth he mixed powerful acids in a laboratory of his own. The slightest slip would have meant an accident that would have blown him and much of the countryside away. He saw to it that there should not be any. "I've never made a mistake," he explained. "If I ever did make one I'd not be here to tell about it." Game Farm Output Breaking Records The California game farms, operated by the state fish and game commission, broke all records for distribution of game birds during July. There were sent from the Yountville and Chino farms 4454 game birds, released in various sections of the state. These included pheasants, quail, chukor partridges and wild turkeys. Most of this number were pheasants, though nearly 1000 quail were liberated, for the most part in Southern California. While the egg production was not as heavy this year as last, the hatches were of a higher percentage, and the estimate of some 30,000 pheasants and 15,000 quail will come close to being realized. Sportsmen's clubs throughout the state have taken great interest in handling pheasants and quail, and have al-materially in placing these birds in areas where they will have a chance to develop and increase their numbers. RESULTS 21.020 MILES PER GALLON No oil or water added; oil changed every thousand miles. Total mileage driven was 7231 miles in 10 days through the traffic of 18 of our own Southern California cities five times daily by Eddie Pullen. Think of it! A New V-8 Ford Sedan driven over the same roads and through the same towns the most of us drive, gave the above official results, passengers rode with Eddie Pullen on the various rounds. Drive a new Ford V-8 and convince yourself. An eight-cylinder motor, simple in construction, as economical as a four or six and in the same price range—comfortable, deep cushions, beautiful body stylings and the kind of performance one dreams of.
