eff people would listen more to their
own voices" remarks a successful
teacher of elocution, ''they would be
able to get a very accurate impression
Of themselves. By this l mean that
they should endeavor to appreciate the
quality Of the tones they utter. There
is lot in tones, as they would soon
find. Unless we happen to be in front
Of mirror we cannot see ourselves as
others see US, but it is easy to hear
ourselves as others hear us. We only
need to keep our ears open. Listening
to oneself will not cause self conscious
ness, rather the opposite, for the habit
soon becomes unconscious, and self
conceit does not flourish under it's rule.
Just try it for day or two and see
what you will learn about yourself"

in the Sacramento valley on the agrl-
cultural, horticultural. viticultural and
other possibilities of the state

and fruit raisers of that empire with
the idea that the railroad is the farm-
ers' best friend and he is now on his
way home.
1t is not known whether the general
freight agent will go out again with
the train. which is to make a tour OF
the whole state that will occupy
several months
An immense crowd met the train at
Wheatland. Cheers were given for Mr..
Luce, who made a short address from
the rear platform, and, at the conclu-
sion of his speech, a delegation OF
prominent citizens invited him TO
banquet at Odd Fellows hall.

SOUTHERN OWNERS
WANT AUTO RACE
Plan to Hold Big Road Contest
Before Local Enthusiasts
Get Started
By x. x. PH0mmedien

The automobilists of Los Angeles
are keen on obtaining the glory OF
holding the first big road race in Cali
fornia. Publicity of the statement that
the local enthusiasts were about to
plan such contest, especially since
the San Francisco motor club has been
organized. has stirred them UP in the
south. They now have two courses
under consideration. one is close to
Los Angeles, while the other is some
little distance off One dealer in dis
cussing the proposition said: For
some time past the automobile men or
San Francisco have been talking OF
course up there. As yet nothing has
developed. but fhasmuch as the matter
is being taken seriously by the north
ern enthusiasts, it is up to the local
dealers and motorists in general TO
either drop into an old rut or take
some definite action ahead Of their
competitors in the north" The theory
on which they are working is that II
they are the first TO hold such con-
test it will be to the Pacific coast
what the Briarcliff or Vanderbilt con-
test is to the east. The scheme, how
ever. has not yet been permanently
adopted. but will come up for con-
Sideration at the next meeting Of the
Los Angeles automobile dealers. This,
however, will not give them priority
to a state event as ii was settled on
Tuesday night at the meeting OF the
motor club that such an event should
be held next spring. Tony Nichols,
chairman of the contest committee.
stated after the meeting that this event
would be the initial contest of the local
club. and the work already done IN
procuring the course would be turned
over to his committee.
The scheme is to hold such contest
in one of the nearby counties where
the supervisors will be asked to put
the roads in perfect condition this win
ter so that the contest can be held as
early as possible in the spring. The
plan is to allow the citizens of what
ever. county in which the course is
selected to erect the grandstand and
parking station. The club will manage
the event. giving the net profits to the
county supervisors for the benefit Of
good roads. The event will be purely
stock car contest.
