Flowers Present Rich Color Show Presenting one of the finest wildflower spectacles seen in the vicinity for many years, the West Antelope valley is now a solid mass of bloom and vies with the Grapevine lupine fields as the center of attraction, reports the Automobile Club of Southern California. Ten miles west of Lancaster on State Highway 138, the first large field of poppies will be seen. This field as well as those extending through Fairmont and on to Gorman on U. S. Highway 99 are interspersed with birds eye gilia, cream cups, lupine, buckwheat, desert sunshine, four o'clocks and other varieties. The joshua forest west of Fairmont is now in bloom. The Grapevine area is still a panorama of color with the blue blanket of lupine broken up by small patches of golden poppies, evening snow, sun cups, owls clover and other small varieties. Much of the Mojave desert is covered with millions of coreopsis, and the route from Mojave to Burstow is dotted with Indian paintbrush, lupine, joshua blooms, desert verbena and coreopsis. In Death valley a good display is reported. Riverside county's chief attraction is the colorful cherry orchards which are now in full bloom. Further south in Imperial valley a gorgeous display of verbena, primrose and desert lilies is spread. Launch Nation’s Newest Coast IN THEY GO—The “Naugatuck”, new 110-foot U. S.

Further south in Imperial valley a gorgeous display of verbena, primrose and desert lilies is spread along U.S. Highway 99 between Holtville and the Yuma sand dunes. The ocotillos are blooming along the highway in the Borego and Vallecito valleys and will be at their height in about a week. Awards for Stock Judgers Announced Students studying vocational agriculture in Santa Fe territory will be pleased to learn that E. J. Engel, president of the company, has announced that the railroad again will offer prizes this year to outstanding livestock judging teams, in recognition of their work and what the vocational movement is doing in behalf of agriculture. Awards will be on the same basis as in 1938, and much on the same plan which the Santa Fe has followed since 1927, in support of the national convention of students of vocational agriculture in Kansas City, where champion livestock judging teams of each state gather to compete in national contests with similar teams from all parts of the country. IN THEY GO—The "Naugatuck", new 110-foot U. S. Coast Guard harbor cutter, hits the water a split second before her sister ship, the "Raritan", at the Bay City, Mich., yard of the Defoe Boat and Motor Works. The vessels, scheduled to leave early In May for their stations at Philadelphia and Boston, Speed Found to be Principal Cause of Accidents; Ticket-Fixing Rappers Strict enforcement of reasonable speed limits remains the No. 1 corrective for America's annual and unwanted harvest of street and highway crashes, according to Julien H. Harvey, widely known authority on accident prevention measures and managing director of the National Conservation Bureau. Next to speeding Harvey ranks ticket-fixing as a primary contributor to the national traffic accident toll, which every year exacts payment in thousands of persons killed, hundreds of thousands injured, and billions of dollars wasted. "There isn't a community in the country, however large or small," declares Harvey, "that can not have an inexpensive and efficient accident prevention program which will produce results. Cumulative experience has demonstrated that effective safety does not call for fancy panaceas. It is more responsive to the homespun principles of plain common sense." "Consider the case of Worcester, Mass., an average American comunity. The police department firmly supported by local authorities and civic bodies, set out the fall of 1938 to enforce spills limits rigidly and absolutely by ticket-fixing—with no exception. In four months traffic deaths were reduced 50 per cent, injuries per cent, and ambulance calls per cent, and ambulance calls automobile crashes dropped 78 per cent. Worcester is now in the process of putting into effect a well-rounded traffic safety program making of which engineers the National Conservation Bureau co-operated. It contains no major ingredients are merely enforced to curb the lawless education to teach the uninformed engineering to iron out tructions at accident-prone intersection. Harvey has outlined five principal principles by which the force them as vigorously as ever law which protects the life property of citizens. 1. Establish reasonable speed limits with due regard to condition in cities and more open roads in rural sections—and then force them as vigorously as ever law which protects the life property of citizens. 2. Stop ticket-fixing, with favoritism or fear; if possible it on the basis of honor; but necessary, resort to court summons to break up this evil practice. 3. Make tests for drivers' censes fair but stringent; deny qualified applicant the privilege operate a motor vehicle, but prompt to revoke that privation for those who cannot or will conform, remembering that human lives may be the forfeit for leniency. 4.

Lucille Manners, soprano of the Friday night Concert Hour, shows promise of becoming one of America's foremost stars of the concert stage, according to the critics, following her recent appearance at Town Hall. One of the numbers Miss Manners featured was Dr. Frank Black's composition, "Lullaby For a Doll." Dave Elman will be one of the few individuals to have an exhibit at the New York World's Fair. His display, comprising examples of hobbies featured at one time or another on "Hobby Lobby," will illustrate the ingenuity of the American people in craftsmanship.

Labor Act Change Sought by Public Widespread public dissatisfaction with the present form of the Wagner labor relations act is brought out in a symposium of opinion from all over the country, released recently by the National Association of Manufacturers. The compilation embraces expressions critical of the act or its administration by legislators, labor leaders, businessmen, newspapers, columnists, judges, lawyers, farmers, doctors, educators, and the general public. Magazine, newspaper, and columnist opinion from all over the country is included, of which a comment from Business Week was typical. "We can say with no offense to realism," the magazine remarked, "that almost everybody now knows that our federal labor law is far from perfect and that a critical study of its imperfections and ambiguities in operation must be a major task of the congress." William F. Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, said: "We saw in this measure a new 'bill of rights' for labor; it has been used to nullify the rights of unions established during half a century. Under this act, workers were to be safeguarded in organizing, free from employee interference. Instead, labor has found itself coerced by a new and powerful bureaucracy." Public opinion as a whole was reflected in a poll taken by the American Institute of Public Sandlot Baseball Benefit to Boys As sandlot baseball increases a community, its juvenile rate decreases, Tris Speaker mer big-league player, points in the current Rotarian maga. The man regarded by man baseball's greatest outfielder gives much of his time to spring interest in the national time by teaching schoolboy fundamentals.

"Nobody, of course, will be to say just how much those learned from us about base comments Speaker. "But they do know: their interest wasulated to a high degree, and police told us that juvenile lincency decreased as must 35 per cent in some of the neighborhoods where we conducte schools." For further evidence of venting crime through vacant ball games, Speaker cites his city Cleveland, Ohio, where illar schools have been held reports that Eliot Ness, the safety director, once told him if amateur baseball did not o such a large place in the thou and activities of Cleveland the work of the police department would be tripled. Principal Cause of Fixing Rapped The police department, supported by local authority and civic bodies, set out in all of 1938 to enforce speed rigidly and absolutely ban fixing—with no exceptions.

Travey has outlined five principles by which the enforcement authorities — police, motor vehicle departments, engineers—can improve trafzards in cooperation with the city: Establish reasonable speed with due regard to congestion cities and more open roads; rural sections—and then enlist them as vigorously as every which protects the life and safety of citizens.

Eliminate accident-breeding conditions at intersections and other hazardous locations by applying sound traffic engineering principles. As head of the National Conservation Bureau, accident prevention department of the Association of Casualty and Surety Executives, Harvey directs the program of an organization that long has pioneered in the safety move-not only as regards traffic but also industry, at home, and recreational pursuits as well. Before heading the National Conservation Bureau he was in charge of the Greater New York Safety Council. "Communities will always find their police and other law enforcement agencies ready to make safety work if the public reasonably supports their efforts," he says from long study and experience. "But when policemen arrest offenders, only to learn in court that they have used 'pull' to get a ticket fixed and thereby escape punishment, is it any wonder that officers become first discouraged and then, perhaps, careless. "Good citizens who want their communities to be safe must come to the help of their enforcement authorities. Expert drivers not only obey speed limits, but when necessary suit their speed to existing conditions on street and highway. Above all, good drivers should regard it as dishonorable and not sporting to have a ticket fixed. The best of us will sometimes make mistakes in driving; but it takes a thoroughbred to admit it. "Similarly, pedestrians must remember that they, too, have a definite obligation. They should observe proper precaution when crossing streets."
