TUNEFUL MUSIC YOSEMITE FEATURE LOS ANGELES, Aug. 16. Camp Curry is now the only camp open in the Yosemite. This information, considered of interest to all late vacationists, was divulged in a recent interview with J. A. C. Waters, Southern California representative for the famous resort. The nightly entertainments which feature life at Camp Curry will continue to be held around the campfire, Mr. Waters further declares. These programs are said to be of an unusually high standard, musical and other talent being brought to the Yosemite to put on special numbers throughout the season. Miss Marion Prevost, director of entertainment at Camp Curry, is said to have secured some excellent talent for the August programs. According to Mr. Waters, every department of Camp Curry is open and full choice of Curry accommodations are available to prospective visitors through the Camp Curry office here. "Yosemite is entering the Indian summer season, in many respects its most magnificent phase of scenic beauty," he says. "The autumn colorings have begun to show in the trees and shrubs and there is a crispness in the air. Days are balmy and night's are uniformly cool." All roads to Yosemite continue to be in excellent condition, it is learned. According to Mr. Western, several routes to Yosemite can be followed from So. Calif., leaving the main valley highway at Presno, Madera or Merced. "The Tioga road over the Sierra from the East is especially popular this year," he says. "This can be taken from So. Calif., via Mojave, Bishop and Mono." USED CADILLACS IN GOOD DEMAND ANAHEIMER LAUDS USED PARA BELLS "Wild Bill" Hunton, who two weeks ago started for Crater Lake, Oregon, returned to Anaheim a few days ago full of praise for his Para Bell "second hand" tires, which Roy Mendoza of the Reliable Tire Co. took off his own machine after 16,000 miles of hard image and turned over to Hunton. Three tires, with the exception of one which unfortunately had a large piece of rubber spoke run through it, look none the worse for the trip and are a long, long ways from being through. Hunton covered more than 2395 miles over "the worst roads and the steepest in existence," according to his version. For miles and miles, Hunton states that his sturdy little Chevrolet never engaged high gear. It was up one steep, rocky and rough hill and down another steeper one. In addition to visiting Crater Lake with his family and loaded down 'Chev,' "Bill" drove into the Yosemite Valley. "Bill" emphasizes the fact that on his whole trip of 22000 miles exactly five machines passed him on the road. On the way back he stopped off at Pismo Beach and gathered up a mass of those wonderful clams and several of his choice friends were recipients of the "makins" of a delicious claim chowder. People who have covered the trip to Oregon and Yosemite know the kind of roads encountered and tires making the trip certainly receive "the 3rd degree." "Para Bells for mine", says "Bill."

B. M. Laey, manager of the Anaheim branch of the Cadillac Garage Co., remarked yesterday. Manager Lacy mentioned the figures, not as phenomenal, but as indicating that the used car business is approaching normal again. Many prospects are purchasing good used cars of quality instead of less costly new cars, says Lacy. KATELLA SCHOOL OPENS SEPT. 15TH Announcement is made by J. H. Eaton, trustee, that Katella school will open Sept. 15. Mr. Armstrong, a new teacher in the county, will be principal. Other teachers will be Mrs. Maud Cramer, Miss Mildred Everett and Mrs. Glee Newsom. Mr. Eaton also announces a meeting of patrons of Katella district has been called for 8 p.m., Aug. 21, at the school building for the purpose of considering the purchase of additional land. The trustees are offered 1½ acres adjoining on the south at a very desirable figure and as there is immediate need of more ground it seems desirable to take advantage of this opportunity as the land may be acquired without necessitating a bond issue.

A new light, the three in one torch has the desirable feature of being fitted with three bulbs in place of one. These bulbs may be finished on all at once or one at a time, as desired. Two of the three white bulbs may be changed for red and green so that the light may be utilized for signaling purposes if desired.

Claim Success in Search for Meteor PRESCOTT, Aug. 15 - Mining men, who for months have been drilling in the vicinity of Meteor Mountain, near Flagstaff, in this state, with the hopes of reaching a giant meteor which, in its fall from the heavens centuries ago, is supposed to have caused a tremendous crater where the drills are located, recently struck the surface of the meteor at a depth of 1403 feet, they declare, the surface being so hard that the drill was ground to pieces and the derrisk partly wrecked. Legend and speculation, romance and theory long have been woven into the discussions of Meteor Mountain. Scientists have disputed over the origin of the crater at its base, where the drills are set, some claiming the depression was caused by the diagonal fall of a huge meteor which gouged the earth into a continuous bank around the place where it penetrated the ground; while others assert as positively that the whole thing was caused by a blowout of gases. Fragments of meteoric formation found around the crater, however, throw weight toward the first theory, and the fact that platinum has been found in these fragments lends speed to the drills. Moreover, it is estimated that more than one and a half pounds of radium, of a market value of $100,000 a gram, will be found in the meteor. Mining operations, it is said, will be changed within a few weeks, the drilling to be discontinued and a tunnel to be run to the meteor. Meteor Mountain is not properly, a mountain at all. It is only 200 feet high and is a huge bowl, 600 feet deep, the bottom containing about 40 acres. TRIO PROFUSE IN PRAISE OF ALASKA Miss Sophie Rimpau, who included exactly one month cation, returned home year from her voyage north as Seward, Alaska, the oak steamer line, and alight to again be at home is filled with enthusiastic plans to repeat the journey spring. Miss Rimpau left with and Mrs. J. S. Sheridan on 14. Plenty of time was for visiting various ports. They were much interested all the Alaskan industries, of which is salmon fishing, of the good old boom is almost a thing of the although some gold and are still produced. On the turn voyage, more than pounds of salmon were lined up. The extreme cleanliness in ling the fish was very pli no less than eight waters used in preparation.

After he outgrow Rimpau's loving ministries possibly in two years, he was presented to the Anaheim park. With an extremely n coastline, there were prairies no shores or beaches.

These bulbs may be flashed on all at once or one at a time, as desired. Two of the three white bulbs may be changed for red and green so that the light may be utilized for signaling purposes if desired. Inspect every part of the car at regular intervals while on the trip. There is no part of the car that can not give trouble if it is neglected. For the past few years the general motorist public has become better acquainted with the use of the motor restaurant or auto luncheon kit. Every season sees a greater demand for this very practical and useful part of the auto tourists necessary equipment. The motor restaurant does away with the old fashioned paper packages or "Shoe-Box" lunch along the road. Today the motorist enjoys a home-prepared luncheon with the same comforts and convenience he would have at home or at some way side inn. The kits are splendidly equipped, whether they be of the two, four or six party sizes. All the necessary equipment is included for either a hot or cold meal; plates, spoons, knives and forks, cups, jars, shakers for salt and pepper, food jar, liquid vacuum bottl—even napkins are included. For the holiday motorist this convenient carrier provides an excellent means of holding the complete dinner that is to be carried into the hills or to the beach. Don't forget to include a camp axe complete with protecting sheath, and a shovel with a detachable handle, when making out the camping supply list. A distance of ten feet should open the towing car and the car being towed. Attach the rope or cable to the front frame of the towed car and to the back frame of the car that is to do the work. The lines should be on the same side of both cars and great care should be exercised when releasing the clutch when the tow car starts. It is advisable for every camper-out to include a strong tow rope or cable in its equipment. On the camping trip it is better to take two many tools than too few. They are so easily misplaced or lost and it is of vital importance to see to it that the tool kit is replenished before starting on the summer tour. Limited space in the tool box prohibits the carrying of unnecessary tools, so it is important that the motorist should carry the needed tools in as compact a form as possible. A good socket set answers the need of a complete set of wrenches in compact form. In a neat, cloth-covered case, size 8 inches long by two inches wide and one inch deep may be found enough wrenches to make any adjustment that is needed. It consists of a ratchet handle that works either way, six sockets that are cut from a solid steel bar. Two screw driver kits and an extension handle. With all of the different combinations that may be obtained with this set, it gives the utility of a whole wheelhorn full of single purpose tools. As compactness is the main thing to be considered when making up the campling list these sets are invaluable. If the cushions in your car are badly worn or are torn and shabby you should recover them with cushion and seat covers before starting on the summer trip. Many car owners choose to cover their cushions before the trip, regardless of the fact that their cushions are in excellent condition, as the covering may be moved when the tour is over, and it saves the rough wear that they would receive during the camping season. Extra tires should also be covered by tire covers before the season of camping starts. This spare tire will depreciate nearly as rapidly if left exposed to the elements as if it were in actual use in the car. During the winter, the wires told by a Roman Co teacher, lights must burn as in the schools, which, by this are quite as modern in tran as the U.S. schools, and a real sunny day comes then dren are so restless for th of doors that school is often missed. With the sun showing hit so seldom in the winter, there are a rarity, too, but so gor when they are visible that children are allowed away books about 1:30 to view the sight. In exchange this are the long days of morn when at 11 p.m. it was likely possible to read out of or no desire to retire war. Gov.

Take your camp outfit along, sleep in the open, and dream of the days when bold bandits made this place their hangout. The story goes that years ago, a Spaniard by the name of Ti-burcio Vasquez, when a boy, was wronged by some white men. The spirit of revenge prompted Vasquez to murder his enemies, and from that time until his capture, he was an outlaw hunted by men from San Diego to San Francisco. One of his favorite tricks was to ambush the stage in Newhall Pass.
