AVOID BRUISING OF TIRES, WARNING Motorists in general are each year showing decided improvement, in their treatment of tires and are, consequently securing greater benefit and longer mileage from them. However, an appalling number of tires are still discarded prematurely because they are victims of negligence and abuse. According to the service department of the Spreckels Savage Tire Company, one of the most prevalent tire mistreatments is bumping into curbs and obstructions and passing over ruts or large stones at high speed. The injury resulting from such maltreatment is often quite serious since it frequently causes breaks in the fabric foundation of the tire which weaken its integrity. The tread, after such an injury, may be in perfect shape, but a few cords in the fabric may weaken from the blow, and gradually work thru other plies of fabric or cords and result in a blowout. An explanation of this condition is the fact that rubber is resilient and will stretch whereas the fabric is necessarily not flexible enough to absorb the impact of a similar blow. Though a tire may seem on the outside to be in perfect condition, a blowout may occur sometimes days after the tire has been bruised, while running along on a good road or even when standing idle, due to a bruise pinching the inner tube. Bruises, of course, cannot always be entirely avoided, but careful driving and proper inflation will prevent many injuries of this kind. NEW AVOCADO WILL STAND LIGHT FROST A variety of avocado, or alligator pear, the fruit, which attaining the weight of 18 ounces and the trees of which will stand some frost, has been sent to the office of foreign seed and plant introduction, U.S. dept. of agriculture, by Wilson Popenice, plant explorer in South America, and the buds of it are now growing in the department greenhouse. AUSTRALIANS WANT OWN DELEGATES SYDNEY, Australia, Aug. 29.—According to present plans Australia will not be represented by its own delegation at the Washington conference on disarmament and on the Pacific questions. Premier Hughes is returning to Australia in October, and it will be impossible for him to attend. If the conference is held in November. In view of the importance of the Pacific aspect of the disarmament question public opinion here certainly favors the attendance of Australia and New Zealand delegates, if they have no independent status. EXPERTS WATCHING CRIMINAL BOY LONDON, Aug. 29—Harold Jones, 15 year old errand boy, is either an archfriend or the persecuted victim of a secret society. British crime experts are trying with little result, to ascertain which. Seventeen days after the boy was acquitted of attacking and murdering 8 year old Freda Burnell, he was locked up in connection with the murder of 11 year old Florence Little. The body of the Little girl was found concealed in the attic of the Jones homes, in the little Welsh village of Abertillery. MANY RESERVATIONS FOR BANKERS' MEET LOS ANGELES, Aug. 29—Approximately 1700 reservations have been made at Los Angeles hotels by members planning to attend the American Bankers' association convention here Oct. 3-7. H. S. Stewart, chairman of the Los Angeles hotel committee, states that with the convention more than six weeks off, this amount of early reservations indicates there will be a heavy attendance. MORE FREIGHT REDUCTIONS In addition to the reductions in transcontinental rates on canned goods, dried fruit and other California products which took effect Aug. 22, G. W. Luce, S. P. freight manager, announces there will be reductions on other products from Pacific Coast points to eastern destinations ranging as high as 50 per cent on some articles.

S. Gept. of agriculture, by Wilson Popenice, plant explorer in South America, and the buds of it are now growing in the department greenhouses. Curiously, the new avocado, harder against cold than the ordinary West Indian and Guatemalan varieties, was discovered in Ecuador, a country situated on the Equator. The region, hitherto unknown as producing this fruit, is in what is known as the Chota Valley, 6000 feet above sea level, giving a climate comparable to many regions much farther north. Most of the fruits of varities of this Mexican race are small. This one has fruits comparable in size with those of the more tender races. Regions occasionally visited by a temperature of plus 18 degrees Far. have produced bearing trees of the Mexican avocado. MOTHERS AGAIN BAN SHORT ONES SOUTH CENTER, Kan., Aug. 29—Growing infatuation of the high school girls of this city for gaudy, abbreviated dress was the cause of a mass meeting of the mothers, and etern measures were discussed to suppress the extravagance of their daughters.

Chartres Phone 531 Ar WEIGHT ORDINANCE SAVING HIGHWAY Is it possible that supervisors of Orange-co have solved the problem of saving the improved highways of Orange-co by strict enforcement of the county ordinance governing truck loads? Statements made by T. B. Talbert, chairman of the board, tend to answer that question in the affirmative. Talbert says that since strict enforcement of the weight limit has been made, the highways of the county are standing up—that they are not going to pieces as rapidly as they were prior to the inauguration of the campaign against excessive loads. He says that this fact is aiding the county road department materially in catching up with patch work on the highways. Personally I think there is more merit in the weight limit ordinance as a protection to the roads than some people believe. Talbert's observations prove the efficiency of the ordinance under strict enforcements of its provisions. The county can legislate as to weight, but not as to speed, the latter being provided for in the state law. The county ordinance on load weights differs from that of the state. Twenty-three thousand four hundred pounds is the maximum limit for a vehicle with four wheels, or 30,000 pounds where the load is carried on six-wheeled vehicles, under the county ordinance at present. It is unfortunate that the county cannot regulate the speed. Herein lies one of the most important factors in preventing highways being broken up by loaded trucks, in my opinion. The combination of light loads and slow speed will work wonders in road conservation, I believe. Perhaps no more concrete example of this can be found anywhere than on the Ridge road on the valley route from the southland to the north. The Ridge road has been in service two or three years.

In this day as in that when Henry Ward Beecher and Harriet Beecher Stowe were stirring things up, the family is still active, volatile and interesting. Naturally then, one of them has gone into the movies. Margaret Beecher is a great-granddaughter of the celebrated preacher, but she is also a featured member of the cast of "Sunshine Harbor" which is just being put on the screen. Her previous motion picture work has been principally in boy roles. The high light of our coming mayoralty campaign where the high lights are always pretty bright and sometimes shed by explosive fireworks—will be the race for the office of register between Miss Annie Mathews, a former suffrage leader designated for the office by Tammy Hall, and Miss Helen Varick Boswell, long active in Republican politics, and feminine county leader. Both women are experienced in politics, both are strong party supporters and both are pretty good fighters. Added to all that is the fact that it's the first time women have opposed each other on any party tickets in this state. One of the post-war activities being carried on by American girls, which comes close to the heartbreak of war itself and of which we hear but little, is that of the seven young women serving in the hostesses houses at the cemeteries in France where American soldiers are buried. A letter received at the National Board here the other day from Miss Ruth Mills, at the Belleau Wood hostess house, tells of the spirit of the visitors there. "Every day of our stay gives new proof of the love and respect felt by America and France for the American soldiers who fell in Battle Wood in Chateau Thierry." "The Big Town Round Up," starring Tom Mix, will be seen tonight at the Fairryland. There will also be a comedy and Pathe News. Eugene O'Brien will be seen tonight in "The Last Door" at the Grand. There will also be a comedy and International News Service. EXPANSION FOLLOWS SALE AT SEBASTIANS' Following the record breaking sale which has been underway for the last three weeks, Sebastian Bros. department store announced today some extensive alterations preparatory for the early fall trade. The partition at the rear of the store has been removed and advantage will be taken of this additional space for the installation of an up to date women's cloak department. Sebastians began the handling of this line last fall and found it so popular that a much larger stock has been purchased for the coming autumn. The stairway has also been changed, affording roadier access to the women's rest room and the economizing of space for the office which has recently been modernized by installation of an up to date cash carrier system. If business continues as good the last three days of this month, as it has been, we will excell last December which was the best month we had ever had," declared Mr. J. Sebastian today. "'We believe this a very much worthwhile record in view of the fact it has been made in hot weather." Falkenstein's To Make Enlargements Falkenstein's Department store is to make some much needed enlargements, it was announced today. Im- It is unfortunate that the county cannot regulate the speed. Herein lies one of the most important factors in preventing highways being broken up by loaded trucks, in my opinion. The combination of light loads and slow speed will work wonders in road conservation. I believe. Perhaps no more concrete example of this can be found anywhere than on the Ridge road on the valley route from the southland to the north. The Ridge road has been in service two or three years. With the exception of one or two small breaks on the edge of the road, the pavement apparently is in as good condition as it was at the time of its completion. Fast driving and heavy loads at once are impossible over this road. It isn't safe to drive fast, in the first place, either up or down grade. Extremely overweight trucks cannot hake the grades, except at very low speed, if at all. It is true that the subgrade of the mountain road is firm. This is a big advantage in supporting the paving, but I do not believe that this fact alone is responsible for the present fine condition of pavement on that 29-mile route. Light loads and slow speed—they tell the story of conservation of the paved highway, in my opinion. HARBOUGH LEAVES FOR SAN JOSE HOME Still in a dazed state of mind and unable to recall but a few of the incidents of his past life, W. L. Harbough who had been held in the county jail for a week left Saturday night for his home in San Jose in charge of E. E. Stevens, garage man of Long Beach. Stevens identified Harbough shortly after he was brot to the county jail, having read a newspaper story of the "lost memory-man." Stevens said that Harbough came to his garage about a month ago and rented parking space. He then disappeared. Harbough was picked up at Ocean-side by a state parole officer who brot him to Santa Ana. Harbough could not recall his own name or remember how he happened to be in Southern California. The only thing he was sure of was that he had a daughter named Iris, and that he used to live in Kansas City. Mrs. Helen Harbough, wife of the asphasiaic, was located in San Jose. She stated that she knew nothing of the $3500 which her usband was reported to have had when he left and the $3500 which her husband was re-she said her husband had a similar attack once before and that his head "was not feeling right" when he left for Long Beach. She tried to persuade him not to go, but he insisted, she said. Falkenstein’s To Make Enlargements Falkenstein's Department store is to make some much needed enlargements. It was announced today. Important among these will be the installation of glass cases for the blanket and drapery departments to which will be devoted about 50 per cent more space than heretofore. This department will be on the second floor. The department for infants' and children's wear also will be enlarged about 50 per cent and there will be installed glass cases for the better display of everything in the way of garments for the little folks under six years of age. This department will be on the first floor. The art department, on the first floor, also is to be expanded. "Business is very good for this season of the year," declared Mr. Wm. Falkenstein today.
