The edges of the designs are carefully

Embroidered Candle Shades-Sets of
embroidered candle shades of linen go
nicely with these floral garnitures.
They are also popular. embroidered in

SECTION OF IRRIGATION
LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Can Not Appeal From Super
visors, Says Supreme Court
Especial Dispatch TO The Call

STOCKTON, Nov. ga decision has
been handed down by the supreme
court in the matter of the action of
the anti-irri gationists Of this county,
who sought by mandamus proceedings
TO make the superior court hear their
appeal from the board of supervisors.
The decision upholds Judges w. B.
Nutter and Frank H. Smith of the
superior court. and in so doing declares
unconstitutional the section of the ir-
rigation law permitting an appeal from
the supervisors TO the superior court.
Some months ago when the south
San Joaquin irrigation district, COM
prising several thousand acres of the
best land in San Joaquin county. was
formed, certain of the property owners
appealed to the supervisors 70 be ex-
cluded from the district. The board
heard their side of the case, and after
considering the matter decided upon
boundaries that included the protest
ants land in the district. The protest
ants appealed to the superior court.
The decision holds that an appeal
from board of supervisors TO the
superior court is not an appeal from
one judicial body to another.
The proteStants may now attack the
organization of the district.
The board of directors of the south
San Joaquin irrigation district met
with the directors OF the Oakdale dis
trict Saturday at Oakdale and adopted
the following resolution in connection
with the Tulloch system:
Resolved that should either the
South san Francisco irrigation district
or the Oakdale irrigation district ac
quire what is known as the Tulloch
III ghts and property. or the rights and
properties belonging to the San Joaquin
canal and irrigatipg company, or to
Consolidated StaniSlauS water and
power company or any part thereof,
upon the Stanisiaus river, the other
district shall have the right to share
equally in such rights and properties
upon the payment by it of one-half of
the costs thereof. The right TO share
therein must be accepted within three
months after notice of the acquisition
of such properties and rights. This
resolution is 10 be binding upon both
said districts when ratified at the next
meeting of the respective boards.

MANY AMERICANS
MOTOR IN EUROPE
Records Show That Many Cars
Built in This Country Are

Large Sums Expended Each
Season by Those Who Take
Vacations on Continent
By R. R. L.HoMMEpIEu

With the approach of winter and
the resulting cessation in motor car
touring abroad. an expert OF Paris has
BY securing the number of triptyehs
or customs passports issued by the
various clubs and touring associations
and estimating from other sources it is
made clear that the present season has
seen more Americans touring France
than ever before The report says:
There are so many doorways into
France that it is practically impossible
to determine accurately the number OF
automobilists who annually pass
through for the purpose of touring
over republican highways. Such fig
ures as are available, however, show
that the touring season just closed
brought larger number OF automobile
visitors from America and England
than any preceding year"
It is estimated in the seasons resume,
counting six people as an average
party. that $4,000 motor car tourists
from America and England visit
France each year and this estimate is
made the basis for a criticism OF a
French government proposal for a tax
on visiting tourists, the argument be-
ing.
1T is not always realized what a
valuable asset the American and Eng
nsh tourist is to France The average
automobiIist remains one month. The
American rarely stops less than six
weeks, while the Englishman is salts
fed 10 run over for much shorter
period. The minimum expenditure Of
q party OF touring automobilists is so
francs a day for each person, this sum
representing hotel accommodation,
food. upkeep of the automobile and
incidentals but ignoring amounts
spent on works of art, presents and
other items. on such a basis the a.
900 visitors introduced into France
this year by the automobile must have
left behind no less than $4,000, 600
francs"
That the touring clubs that supply
Information TO tourists and the spare
parts and information bureaus of

have done away with smany of the
bothers OF tourists in former years is
shown conelusively by the following
extract from the seasons resume:
a feature Of the development Of
