Lord Dislikes Notoriety

Lord Pelham Grenville Wodehouse,
scion of one of the Oldest and most
powerful English families, and crack
polo player. dislikes to have his name
in print-at least in a newspaper. He
said so at the st. Francis yesterday.
Everywhere l have visited in Amere

cept for their propensity for sticking
ones name in their dai.' papers said
Lord Wodehouse
Don't you know / loath notoriety.
Now, your paper can get along nicely
without mentioning me. I'm not dis
tinguished-just happened to draw a
title with my birth. I'm a private
citizen enjoying your great country, so
what's the bally use of using the print

His lordship is the sensation in PEN

Prunes Dropping

James Fl. McClelland OF San Jose
owns a big prune ranch. which he says
used to bring in about $4,000 a year
net. In the last three years, Mr.. Nc
Clelland says, it has actually failed TO
pay for its keep.
1.-THE dry seasons of the last three
years are responsible for the partial
failure of the prune crops he said at
the Manx yesterday. ''The fruit is
dropping in alarming quantities right
now, nearly six Eeeks before ripening
time, and the situation is grave one.
with lack of moisture, was too much
for the trees They couldn't supply
enough sap to keep the green fruit
hanging until it ripened.
In many sections of the Santa Clara
valley at least a third of the crop is
lying on the ground The sun cooks
the green fruit on one side and it falls
within two days. 1t has been estimated
that in our section about two-thirds
of an average crop will be harvested
and at that the fruit bids fair to be of
small size and poor quality.
Although we have. had poor crops
for two years. real estate in the valley
remains at top notch prices and the
steady. The best orchards sell at
from 500 TO $1,000 per acre, which Is
a good price

Meats in the Clouds

Meats of all kinds will continue TO re-
tail at sky high prices until California
enjoys another rainy season in the re-
gions where most of the beeves are
raised, according to H. A. Jastro of
Bakersfield, who owns one of the iarg-
est cattle ranches in the state. He is
president of the American Livestock as
sociation.
Meats are high at the present time
because most of 1t is shipped from out
side territory" said Mr. Jastro at the
Palace yesterday .'Our beeves are poor
and they won't be fat as long as hay is
wholesalng at as much ton as big
steer is worth. The stock producing
districts are devoid of grass and have
been during the last season, due to
lack OF rain. Most of the farmers have
sold off their herds, or at least depleted
them. 1t costs too much TO feed them
when everything has to be bought at
famine prices.
Frozen meats from Australia or Ar
gentine will. not remedy the situation
Most people will not eat the frozen
meat because it is considered unwhole
some and lacking in nutrition. When a
steak that has been frozen is put in a
hot pan it begins to ooze it's juices. in
stead OF soaring The result is that
nothing is left but the tough fiber. The
coast cities will enjoy cheaper meats
this fall If we have heavy rains and the
grass becomes plentiful"

Voice Of the People
Why Hinder the No Sale Billa

The Hotel Mems association, not con-
tent with their failure to prevent the
passage of the no sale of wild game
bin in the recent legislature, has start
ed referendum petition which Will
bring the matter before the people. If
this be an undesirable bill, the bringing
OF the matter TO a vote is to be de-
sired Ifsft be a desirable bill, on the
other hand. the delay caused by such
a proceeding is dangerous. To allow
another open season of AZ months and
TO allow the killing of another $780,
600 ducks for the market is to bring
game conditions to the ~gdanger point.
The arguments appearing on the pc
-tition state only one point of view
that of those who see. the almighty
dollar They are very careful not to
mention ans danger to the. game that
might be incurred. They further un-
fairly attribute the passage of the bill
to the sport, and game hog"
The bin was actively supported by
thousands who never hunt but who
desire to see hunting regulated in such
way tnat our WHO lie VIII per
-sist as permanent asset.
California is surrounded on all sides
by states which have more drastic no
sale Of game laws than the one under
discussion. Thirty-one states of the
union have such laws and are glad
to support them. and yet it is stated
that there has been. forced upon us
the rankest and most unjust law ever
forced upon the people of California"
The no sale law is not unjust, but is
constitutional, necessary and right in
order that our game shall be preserved.
There is no surer way of exterminat-
ing our game than to commercialize
its destruction. H. c. BRYANT.

Cequoia Park Opened

~ The opening OF the Yosemite national park to
automobiles is properly followed by similar
opening OF the Sequoia national park and General
Grant national park as announced in The Call on
Tuesday
The previous closing OF the parks TO automobiles
has been due to inertia and red tape The roads
are and have been excellent, and all OF the national
parks shoul fave been opened up long ago. Now
that they are opened to automobilists. they will be-
come OF much more use to the public than they
have been since they created national parks
The two parks include more than $50 square
miles and some OF the most interesting natural fea-
lures to be found in any national park. Here are
the largest OF the giant sequoias, with the tree
named General Sherman, SO feet i'll diameter and
William Mckinley, POI feet high. III the park are
peaks like Mount Silliman, more than II 900 feet
high with Mount Whitney, the highest mountain in
the United States. and little outside Of the park
are the wonderful golden trout
While California may truly be said to be nat
ura park from its northern its southern borders
the great advantage of the legally established natu-
raj parks is that they affordmost attractive grounds
for tourist and camping parties, under con-
dtions OF perfect security and wholesome hygienic
regulations In time they must inevitably become
as they tending to do now, one OF the chief
Fairgrounds OF the nation.

TDriest Voices Peoples Protest

Speaking for the people OF North Beach
Father Terrence Caraher appeared before the
police commission on Monday night to protest the
issuance OF two liquor licenses,
One Of the applicants was Sebastia Ravani, who,
in accordance with a tip given given him by the
police commissions asked for license to reopen the
Jupiter, closed few days ago because had been
one OF the nesting places OF the bunko rats
The other applicant was Red Kelly, proprietor
OF the Midway dance hall. who asked that he be
permitted to abandon the Midway and open cafe
with dancing privileges in Columbus avenue.
Ravani was the partner in the former Jupiter
enterprise, who was given clean bill OF business
health by the majority Of the police commission
over the negative vote of Commissioner Kuh when
it undertook to avenge the victims of the bunko
men,.
In the face OF the formal distinction the COM
mission had made between the characters Of
Bruno Caesar. Jack" McManus and Ravani, the
protests OF the venerable priest could not be ex-
pected to prevail. Ravani was granted license to
reopen the joint closed only fortnight.
Kelly. by his attorney told the commission he
wanted a transfer of his license and authorization
to run cafe with dance floor because he had
been losing money in the Midway
nue. was the one thoroughfareA left for the decent
people OF North Beach, and that the boys and girls
OF the district should not be subjected to new temp
tations
Action on. the application postponed not
because Of Father Carahers protest. but because 1t
involved the troublesome question of cafe dance
hall license, which the commissioners decided
should be put up to the mayor.
Probably Kelly has lost monev in his Midway
venture: Viewed from many standponts he has
conducted the least Objectionable OF the many Pa
cific street resorts. His was a profitable show
place for Summers and tourists until the police
commission put the ban upon women summers
Kelly's financial losses are not to be charged to
the people OF North Beach. They are the result
OF an order issued BY the police commission.
That order. was issued. in response to demand
sufficiently insistent to impress the commission
with the idea that it represented public sentiment.
Kelly may be entitled TO more consideration
than the other victims OF the police commissions

Commissioner Kuhl has declared his opposition
10 the transfer the broad ground that he is op-
posed to the Barbary coast, and what it represents
as whole.
The other commissioners may not be expected
to share Kuhl's opinions, but they may well give
some thought to less radical but general public
opinion before they decide against the protest Of
hundreds OF people voiced by the splendid old
priest who has dared even the wrath Of the bench
in his battles for the protection OF the young
and women OF San Francisco.
