Another phase of the road question
Is this: Nothing is more aggraVating
while travelling than to get onto the
wrong road and be obliged to turn
back because of the lack of a little
forethought in the proper supplying
of guide posts. The Automobile club
of Southern California had this in
mind when it logged all the main ar
teries of travel in California, south of
San Francisco, with the clubs signs
at an expense of $25,000 This work
alone is of inestimable value to the
tourists as is shown by the numerous
compliments received from them by
the club.
Besides this the club is at present
placing bridges over the Santa Mar
garita and San Mateo rivers. Also
they are looking after the dangerous
electric railroad crossings on the Mis-
sion road just beyond Eastlake park,
and also in the vicinity of Bairdstown.
Trees which obscure crossings are also
being trimmed and in general any
work which may be done to assist in
making travel safe is taken up as
soon as reported.
1t was through the clubs efforts that
all vehicles of whatever nature are
compelled to carry lights after dark.
that no person under sixteen can drive
an automobile In Los Angeles, that 1t
is mandatory on the part of judges
to give Jail sentences for any automo-
bile driver brought to justice for run
ming his machine over thirty miles per
hour. All this is being done without
the blare of trumpets or ostentation.
but constitutes the everyday labors of
the club for which very little credit
is given by the public. but which, new
ertheless, is of vital importance to the
citizens at large. The work Is philan-
thropic in it's action. far-reaching In
it's effect, commendable in its endea-
vor and as vital and as essential to
the municipality which harbors 1t as
is any organization here, deserving the
support of every loyal citizen. as tend
ing to bring mans civic status to a
higher plane
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-19

-
IA Southern California occupies one
of the most important positions in the
great southwest. In its scope and in
its benefits to the people, an organi-
zation of this description is as essen
tial to the harmonious workings of a
municipality as any. This view point
is not generally taken by the public
at large, as automobile clubs are or
such recent birth that their workings
are not fully understood except by
those directly connected with them.
The number of state automobile Ii
censes issued to date by Secretary of
Stwate G. F. Curry has reached over
2S,000 Some of the machines for
which these numbers were issued have
been destroyed, and if a careful check
were to be made of all the numbers is
sued it would be found that from one
cause or another many of the numbers
represent machines which no longer
exist or which are not running in this
state. Three thousand would be too
large an estimate for such discrep-
ancy, but for the sake of a conserva-
tive hypothesis let us reckon that there
are today in the state of California
25,000 automobiles valued at $4,000
apiece. This would give us $50,000, 900.
OF this amount Southern California's
proportion would not be less than so
per cent. or $50, 100000, an amount more

priation and nearly nine times greater
than the county good road bond issue.
This immense investment in the
twentieth century steed," while con-
stantly on the increase, is yet of COM
paratively recent origin, as in 1905 the
state registration was only 4727, rep
resenting a monetary valuation, when
taken on the same basis as the above
of $9.454,000.
To obtain proper legislation for the
automobilists, to prevent class distinc-
tion between users and nonusers, to
work in harmony with city councils.
police departments and the press in
the endeavor to educate the people to
the new highway conditions, to see
that justice is done to automobilists
and pedestrians alike-such, in part,
is the office of the Automobile club
of Southern California. The magni-
tude of the requirement, not only from
financial but from a civic stand
point as well. calls for Just such or
ganizations to exist, not alone in Cali
fornia but in all the civilized world
Perhaps II there is any one thing more
than another that would be markedly
commendable in these organizations, It
would be their zeal in boosting for
good roads.

ton of New York. to which most OF

pay allegiance as being the parent or
national chapter, was the prime
movers in the large three-day Good
roads convention which was held at
Cleveland this last summer. Much
good was accomplished and it is just
such meetings as these that must pre-
cede definite action. Dollars and cents
cannot gauge the value of information
gained by these national assemblies,
but time will crystalize It into a
means of pleasurable travel. To show
that the Automobile club of Southern
California realizes this, an offer was
extended to the chief engineer of the

lars to help defray his expenses to
Cleveland to attend the convention,
and 1t was simply because of press of
business that he did not accept the
offer.
The work on the new roads in Los
Angeles county is being followed very
closely by the club directors, as is
evinced by a scientific report written
by their engineer, F. C. Finkle. and
published in the clubs magazine,
Touring Topics, in the December is

interested in this work, as it is writ

of being one of the best engineers In
this country.

Washington, Aug. 26.-Some Of the
most interesting information that has
ever been turned out of the census
bureau is contained in a bulletin issued
today. dealing with religious bodies of
all kinds in the United States.
A summary of the census shows that
the church members in the United
States numbered nearly 100000 in
1906; that there were billion and a
quarter dollars invested in church edi-
fees; that every day eight new
churches sent their spires skyward;
that males formed considerably less
than half the total church membership;
that a larger percentage of Catholic
males than protestant males were
members; that in sixteen states the
majority of the total church member
ship was Roman Catholics; but that
of the grand total of church members
reported for the United States, SIS per
cent were protestants and 367 Roman
Catholics.
These facts are contained In the
proof sheets of United States Census
Bureau Bulletin, prepared by William
c. Hunt, which will be issued this
month. 1t is in the nature of an alb
stract OF the comprehensive report,
now in press. giving the results of the
fifth census of religious bodies in the
United States.
Fewer Men Than Women.
The interesting discovery was made
by the census takers that the largest
part of the membership of the Chris
tan Science church was made up of
women, only 27.6 per cent of the mem
bers being males. OF the total number
of members reported by the various
religious bodies and classified by sex,
43.1 per cent were males and $50 per
cent females. Among the protestants
the difference was greater, only 3s3
per cent being males. In the Roman
Catholic churches there were relatively
more males. the number forming 1913
per cent of the total membership.
DenominationaI Statistics.
It is stated in the bulletin that the
total number of members reported by
the various religious bodies for 1906
was 32,936,445, of which number the
protestants were credited with 20.-
2s7,742, and the Roman Catholics with
12,079,142. OF the protestant bodies
the Methodists numbered 5.749,S3s;
Baptists, 5.662.234; Lutherans, 2,112,-
494: Presbyterians. 1,s3O,555, and the
Disciples of Christians, 1.142.359. OF the
total of 32,936,445 church members,
Sis per cent were protestants; 36.7
per cent Roman Catholic; and Ii per
cent members Of other religious organ

izations. The rate of increase shown
for the Roman Catholic church Is s3.5
Per cent, which Is more than twice
that for al the protestant bodies COM
hined.
Religious Bodies Increase.
The total number Of local religious
organizations In 1906 is given as 212.-
$50. an increase since 1890 of 1909,
or 2S.5 per cent. The protestants are
credited with an increase in this par
ticular amounting to 27.S per cent:
the Roman Catholic church PIG per
cent; the Jewish congregations, 231.9
per cent; and the Latter-Day Saints,
1873 per cent.
Other interesting features OF the bull
letin are those showing that the total
seating capacity of churches was S.
536,S30, an increase over the 1890 CEN
sus Of 34.4 per cent; that the rate Of
increase was practically the same for
both protestants and Roman Catho-
lies, and kept pace with the increase in
population; and that $1,257. 575, 1857 was
invested in. church edifices In 1906. The
amount Of debt was $10s,050.946, or S.6
per cent of the total value: Of this to-
tai the protestant bodies owed $685.
301,2 54. and the Roman Catholics $49,-
48S,055. In sixteen states a majority
Of the church members were Roman
Catholics; in tWenty-nine states, pro-
