DODGE FAVORED IN DESERT WORK, SAYS GOVERNMENT AGENT Battling standstorms in which it was nearly impossible to travel; making calls on out-of-the-way Indian pueblos that are considered nearly impossible to reach by the average motorist, and in general contending with every known hindrance to motor car travel is all in the days work with Leroy Hawkins, a government Indian agent who covers Arizona and New Mexico, who passed through Anaheim several days ago on a pleasure trip to San Diego. Mr. Hawkins drives a Dodge Bros. roadster, and is now using his second car, it having more than two years in desert work. "We tried out a number of makes in our work in the desert," Mr. Hawkins declared, "but all of them were discarded in favor of the Dodge. The average person cannot imagine what we must contend with in our work, and therefore does not understand how much we demand from a car. During the rainy season there are times when we must drive many miles through water and sand, the water up to the running board, and the sand hanging on the wheel as if molded there, and we must have a car that can be depended on or we are out of luck. The Dodge so far, has been the only car we have found practical." LOAD LIMIT AND LAW TO SAVE PAVEMENTS "Strict enforcement of the county ordinance limiting truck loads to 24,400 pounds has had a noticeable effect in saving Orange-co roads." J. L. McBride, county engineer, said today. "Proper load limits and enforcement of load limit regulations are the two big things in stopping damage to county roads today." "The ordinance was passed about a year ago, and has been strictly enforced during the last six months. Motorcycle officers under the supervision of the district attorney's office have carried weighing jacks. With these jacks they estimate the This $1,000,000 site in the heart of Washington, D. C., has been secured by the Woman's National Foundation as a home for the great feminine civic center, in which it is proposed to make every American woman a member. It consists of nine and a half acres of beautifully wooded ground surrounding a historic home, situated in the exclusive Northwest section of Washington within easy reach of the center of the city. On this ground it is proposed to erect a series of buildings which will house activities not only of the country's great women's clubs, but also of exchanges id education. To for out-of-town best possible for great mans should clubs build their own provided only mony with the architecture. Home beauty women comp the ancient C. The condition simple—that moral stands and over eight dues are non-residents." "Strict enforcement of the county ordinance limiting truck loads to 2400 pounds has had a noticeable effect in saving Orange-co roads." J. L. McBride, county engineer, said today. "Proper load limits and enforcement of load limit regulations are the two big things in stopping damage to county roads today." "The ordinance was passed about a year ago, and has been strictly enforced during the last six months. Motorcycle officers under the supervision of the district attorney's office have carried weighing jacks. With these jacks they estimate the loads of trucks entering the county. "The majority of Orange-co roads have 4-inch concrete base, while those recently built or being built are 5-inch. Previous to the enactment of the limiting ordinance, these 4-inch roads were being smashed by heavy trucking quicker than they could be repaired. "The state truck law places the limit at about 30,000 pounds. Orange county roads would crumble, should trucking up to the state limit be allowed here. The roads, however, are projected by the county ordinance, and will be further protected by the ordinance that Orange, San Bernarino and Riverside counties have agreed to pass. "We cannot expect our roads to withstand heavier loads without spending an enormous amount of money to increase their thickness. It would not be necessary to tear up the present roads, the base is there, but a two inch cap over the present surface would cost, in my opinion, more than the people at present care to pay. "Los Angeles is constructing a model truck road; eight inches of gravel, eight inches of decomposed granite, and an eight-inch slab of concrete. I understand that it is costing approximately $50,000 a mile. "That is getting at the crux of the matter. Do the people of Orange co want to pay, at this time, to rebuild their road system? "If the people want heavy trucking on county roads and are willing to pay for it, I have nothing to say. But under the present circumstances it is rather rough luck to have to take the blame for roads, smashed by heavy trucking, when money for stronger construction is unavailable. "There are many items that enter into the problem of deciding just how much weight a road will withstand. A single stretch of road may vary through its length, not in the weight it will carry, but the weight it will withstand—there is a wide difference in the meaning of the two terms. "Roads built over boggy ground demand a heavier base, and even then weak spots as compared with the remainder of the job, may develop. "Many Orange county roads were not built for truck traffic. We try to protect them as much as we can, but, of course, it is impracticable to prohibit truck travel over certain roads. "Then again some occurrence, like the washout of a bridge, may divert by the Woman's National Foundation as a home for the great feminine civic center, in which it is proposed to make every American woman a member. It consists of nine and a half acres of beautifully wooded ground surrounding a historic home, situated in the exclusive Northwest section of Washington within easy reach of the center of the city. On this ground it is proposed to erect a series of buildings which will house activities not only of the country's great women's clubs, but also of individual women unaffiliated with any organization. Here all women will be able to meet on neutral fround, intermingle." ELTISTE SHOWING TRUCKS, TRACTORS Trucks and tractors have not been forgotten in the coming exhibit and among those who will exhibit is the International company, for whom M. Eltiste is distributor throughout this county. Many models of trucks and automotive farm implements will be displayed, Mr. Eltiste announced yesterday. One of the features of their exhibit will be the plow which was designed by Mr. Eltiste and which met with such approval at the international factory that they are now manufacturing them in large quantities. The plow was especially designed for orchard work in California and wherever it has been used extraordinary results have been obtained, it was said. SECURE EXTENSION FOR OIL DRILLING Arrangements for a 60-day extension of time has been secured by the board of directors of the Huntington Central Oil company on the Heasten lease where well No. 2 of the company is located. Attorneys for the oil company and the Heaston property agreed at a conference for the extension, payment to be made in oil if the well is a producer. The plan of the company, determined at a director's meeting in Los Angeles, is to push the work at once on well No. 1 and if the well is brok back as a producer to put men on No. 2. Propositions from Arthur Bourdo, one of the directors, and from "Silent Joe" Edwin were received and that of the former accepted. Bourdo is to act as field superintendent without pay. He will secure the services of C. E. Woods as oil driller who will work one shift a day and camp on the ground, thus eliminating nightwatchman expense. Approximately $6000 is left in the treasury of the company to continue REDUCED RATES ON OIL WELL SUPPLIES G. W. Lucy, S. P. freight manager, announces reduction in eastbound rates on oil well supplies in carload lots from California points to points in Wyoming. The reduction is made to enable the California shippers to compete with eastern manufacturers. The present rates on oil well supplies to such representative points as Casper, Wyoming, is $2.66 1-2 per 100 pounds, and $2.19 to Chyenne. The new rate will be $1.75 per 100 pounds to these points. Reduction is also made in the rate on carlot shipments of uncompressed cotton for export from Texas to California ports. The present rate is $5 while the new rate will be $2.06 1-2. Rates are also reduced on a number of articles of hardware from the east, in less than carload lots. The rates will become effective as soon as the tariffs are printed.

Approximately $6000 is left in the treasury of the company to continue operations, according to announcement of Grant M. Lorraine, president. COURTESY Courtesy has been defined as: Treating a customer like a rich uncle, so that you may extract his coin, is not courtesy—that's forelight. Offering your sent to a man who enters your office is not courtesy—that's duty. Listening to the grumblings, growlings, and groanings of a bore, without remonstrance is not courtesy—that's forbearance. Helping a pretty girl across the street, holding her umbrella, carrying her poodle—none of these are courtesy. The first two are a pleasure, and the last is politeness. Courtesy is doing that which nothing under the gun makes you do but human kindness. Courtesy springs from the heart: If the mind prompts the action, there is a reason; if there is a reason, it is not courtesy; for courtesy has no reason. Courtesy is good-will, and good-will is promoted by the heart full of love to be kind. Only a generous man is truly courious. He gives freely without a thought of receiving anything in return. The generous man has developed kindness to such an extent that he considers everyone as good as himself—treats other not as he should be treated but as he ought to be treated. REGULATION OF THE SUGAR. The Rikestag has prolonged the law relating to the maximum price and import monopoly on sugar for another 12 months. Both the import of sugar and the sale of the native product is to be carried out as before by the Swedish Sugar Factories Co. The Plain Dealer for Good Printing hen to Build Great Civic Feminine in $1,000,000 Site In Heart of Washington exchanges ideas, give and receive education. There will be a hotel for out-of-town members at the lowest possible cost, convention halls for great national gatherings; or should clubs prefer it, they can build their own homes on this site, provided only that they be in harmony with the general scheme of architecture. For this is to be a home beautiful for the nation's women comparable to the agora of the ancient Greeks. The conditions of membership are simple—that a woman be of good moral standing in her community and over eighteen years of age. The dues are nominal—$1.00 a year for non-residents and $2.00 for residents whom have already secured the site, shall form a club, entrance to which costs $1,000.00, and all members of which shall have their names inscribed in the stone of the new buildings as a permanent memorial to their enlightened citizenship. The institution will be governed as a democracy, each one dollar member being entitled to representation. The basic aim of the Foundation being the promotion of civic education, there will be various educational courses, headed by such women as Mrs. Maud Wood Park. There will also be a clearing house of information of festive activities, and a bulletin for the use of members. Mrs. C. C. Carr of Wash. LEACH POWER SIX EXHIBITED AT SHOW Latest models of the Leach Power Plus Six, manufactured by the Leach Biltwell Motor Car company of Los Angeles, will be exhibited for the first time in Orange county when the one day automobile show will be held at Anaheim Friday. Mr. H. H. Humphries of Anaheim, distributor for the Leach company, will be in charge of the display. In addition to the new models, a chassis in which is mounted one of the new Leach Special Motors, also will be shown. The new Leach motor is declared to be one of the most powerful manufactured, having six cylinders, with overhead camshaft and valves-in-head. It will develop 108 hp, tests have shown, and is manufactured entirely in Los Angeles. The new models have a longer wheel base than the 1921 styles and are more luxuriously finished and equipped than any other stock car on the market.

R. store opens the first annual remnant sale tomorrow morning, according to an announcement made by the management today. The sale will begin at 10 a.m. and continue for three days, ending Saturday night. Extensive alterations are being made in many departments and according to the management. It is the plan of the organization to close out all of this season's merchandise in order to make room for the new stock which is due to arrive in a few days. Remnants and odd lots of goods are to be taken out of every department and marked at a price that will place them at the disposal of every person in Anaheim. It was said. The collection of merchandise, it was added, is the largest that has ever been offered in Anaheim at a "slaughter sale price," and it is believed by the management that the sale will be a historical mark in the growth of the store.

PAUL, Aug. 24—Nude bathing is getting to be quite popular in the country lakes. During the recent warm weather the sun had hardly set before hundreds of people "but the old swimmin' hole" in no regulation bathing suits of childhood. And in many instances they did not wait for the sun to go down; but disrobed alongside their automobiles in broad daylight and sat the cool waters of some lake. One feature of the pastime which has been quite a vogue has been the midnight bathing party in nude, in which both sexes take part. As for riding about the city in bathing suits, that has become almost too commonplace to cause comment. An echo of protest against this lack of modesty has already reached official ears. Last week the board of county commissioners received a complaint concerning such conditions at McCarran's lake. But the most brazen bit of nude bathing was reported several weeks ago by residents in the vicinity of Lakewood, White Bear Lake. About midnight a party of five couples ran their launch up on a bit of sandy beach and shortly appeared in the water. They wore nothing but smiles — even the well-known string of beads was discarded. Residents of Silver Lake who live near the main road which runs through the village of North St. Paul have their slumber broken many a night during the recent warm weather by the shouts and antics of bathers who disrobe in or near automobiles and go in swimming. One story is told of an effort made by the town marshal to stop a bathing party which was cavorting about. He was invited to come in himself and stop the procedure of he could. Just yesterday the official reason why Lake Iris was closed to the children during the hot weather of June and July became known. Both white and colored people, including young ladies, dressed and uninhibited in the stone of the new buildings as a permanent memorial to their enlightened citizenship. The institution will be governed as a democracy, each one dollar member being entitled to representation. The basic aim of the Foundation being the promotion of civic education, there will be various educational courses, headed in such women as Mrs. Maud Wood Park. There will also be a clearing house of information for festivals, activities, and a bulletin for members. Mrs. C. C. Campbell of Washington, D.C., is president of the Foundation. Those students should communicate with Lahoun. Parable of the Pajamas SAFED THE SAGE There came unto me a Young Man who said, I desire a better Job. For behold, I have long in my Present Situation, and I am getting Nowhere. And I desire to Move Up. And I inquired of him concerning his Occupation, and he told me what it was. And I asked him certain questions concerning matters such as I supposed belong to his Vocation. And he answered me saying, I once learned that, but I have forgotten. And I know the answer to that question, but I cannot think of it just now. And I have a book wherein look upon such matters when I have need. But there was nothing which I asked of him which he could tell me High Off the But. And I said unto him, Once upon a time there was a man who said, have occasion to travel now and again and behold, I will keep a Bag that is always packed. And he put it into a Suit of Pajamas, and a Safety Razor, and a Tooth Brush, and a Pallet of Hair Brushes, and divers other things such as Travelers need. And he went upon a Journey, and it came to pass in the morning that he arose and put on his Raincoat, and took his bug and went to the Washtoom. And his Pajamas did he leave in his Berth. And while he was washing and shaving, the Porter cam along and removed the Sheets and the Plow Cases from his berth, and gathered them into an armful, and chucked them into his Laundry Bag. And the Pajamas rolled he up with the Linen. And when the man cam back from the Wash Room, behold his berth was all made up nicely. An he sat down in comfort, and in due time he got off the train, and he gave a Quarter to the Porter, and was a peace with himself and with all mankind. But the next night when he started back, he removed his clothing in his berth, and he sought in his bag for his Pajamas. And he was Considerably in Need of them, but they were not there, nor hath he ever found them. And I said unto the young man it is impossible for a man to keep constantly in his mind all the facts and principles and ideas which I may sometime need. But he who saw deed must be able to produce demand the vital elements of his Stock in Trade. A man may not business forever on the things he foresighted. Our Answerets No. Perfumia, there is no similarity between being well posted and being stuck up.

A new Yorker will attempt an airplane dash to the pole. He leaves a wife and several children. REMARKABLE FEAT BELIEVE DEAD WOMAN JUMPED FROM TRAIN —Headline in the Toronto Globe. The word "automobile" is an excellent illustration of the way language grows to meet the progress of invention. It is a word of mixed parentage (the Greek prefix "autos"—self, and the French "mobile"—movable, or changeable, uncertain.) As the French invented the object, they fell that it was up to them to invent its name. So they invented it and handed it over to the American dictionary writers, who promptly adopted it. But the American people, greatly given to short cuts, have whittled the word down to its simplest form, "auto" — a curtailment severely trowned upon in the highest etriches of language.

Fashion in the face fungus change like everything else. A short time back there was good reason to fear that the sideboard whiskers (praviously associated entrely with the warriors of the Iron Duke and the butlers of the Victorian era) would spread like a disease among the knuts of the knauton. The idea no doubt was that the said knuts had experienced so many close shaves between 1914 and 1918 that they wanted a change. But mercifully the danger passed. We are told that the toothbrush mustache is going place to something longer and fuller. So before we know where we are we may have a revival of the Portcullis or the Warins, with its ac-companying horror—the mustache cup! This, on top of the coal strike and the Irish question just about put the lid on things.
