the reduction of newspaper columns,
which has been the subject of arbitra-
ton for several months. be referred

existed on the face of the earth; and
he draws attention to the trouble along
the Mexican border, with the comment
that much of the avoidance of this
trouble has been due to the perfect
discipline and highly proficient train
ing of the men of the regular army.
Regarding reasonable preparation,
Secretary Garrison says men who have
studied the subject with care believe
that well trained body of four or
five hundred thousand citizen soldiers
Immediately available. together with
our permanent force in the regular and
militia establishments, will give us
reasonable guarantee against hostile
invasion of our territory. But he adds
that the cooperation of the navy and
coast defenses must be considered: and
that reasonable preparation practical
ly consists in being ready to meet this
latter contingency Gf our feet should
be driven from the seal. and to meet
it force of this size is believed to be
necessary"

ARMY OF 100000 CITIZEN
SOLDIERS NEEDED BY U.S..
Secretary Garrison Defines What He
Considers Reasonable Prepare
ton" for Defense.

Secretary Garrison defines what he
considers reasonable preparation" for
the military defense of the United
States in an article in the current is
sue Of the Independent
ut has been shown, writes the Sec
rotary of War. that the permanent
military force needed to enable the
government to comply with most Of its
constitutional obligations can be rela-
lively very small. And at the most
comparatively small increase in that
permanent force is all that is necessary
10 enable it to perform its all-important
function-that of training a citizen
soldery. For il must not be forgotten
that the one great lesson OF all our
wars is that they must be carried to a
conclusion by citizen soldiers, and these
citizens must be trained. To thrust
unframed citizens into the field is moth
ing short of death by governmental
Order"
The Secretary of War points out that
the United states has tried the mini
mum degree of preparation. and our
history is fun of its unhappy lessons.
He says there should be no doubt OF
the choi.s. from the business point OF
view, between no preparation or the
minimum preparation and reasonable
preparat ton.

Plaster Casts of Monuments.

Mr.. Judd's special work was to super
intend the making of plaster casts of
several of the huge stone monuments
that have made world-famous the
ruins of the so-called Temple Court"
the religious center of the sacred city
of Quirigua. After this work Mr.. Judd
made hasty trip by Indian footpaths
from Guatemala City to the Mexican
border to ascertain the anthropological
possibilities among the Indian tribes of
this region. But little survives, in the
remnants of the Quiche, Cachiquel and
Tzutuhil tribes, to indicate the strength
and magnificence of the Quiche empire
which Pedro de Alvarado destroyed in
1923, at the beginning of his conquest
of Guatemala. Although the natives of
these interior valleys have always been
considered treacherous, Mr.. Judd ex-
perienced few difficulties, and his hur-
ried journey seems to indicate that eX-
tended anthropological Investigations
in this region will be as easy as they
are desirable.

A PAIR OF SKIES

"A Pair of SixesJ' which drew full
houses of laughter at the Longacre
theatre, New York city for nearly a
year, is to be presented by H. H
Frazee at the opera house for one per-
Torrance only, Friday, December 8
Fl. H. Frazee, producer of many sue
cesses, has in "A Pair of Skies" the
Funniest comedy in twenty-five years
and it would seem that success begets
success, for Mr.. Frazee has never yet
had failure.
"a Pair of Skies" is without doubt
something entirely different in farce,
for it tells logical story, without
resorting to slap stick methods and
the action as well as the dialogue
is thoughtfully worked out, SO that
the plot is cumulative and excites con-
tinued interest until the drop of the
final curtain.
Those who have held skies and failed
to fill them and those who do not know
one card from another will be equally
amused at the ludicrous situations
arising from the use of the diminutiye
skies. Those who have partnership
troubles vii turn over a new leaf and
decide to act like a human being for
the sake Of their business.

In his bedroom young Norrie Ford is
Indicted on the terrible charge of muir

III the cabin OF a mysterious mountain
girl of beauty and culture, who aids
him to make his escape to Argentine,
after they have vowed their love for

Growing beard and changing his
name, Norrie Ford soon became fav-
orite in the best circles of gay Buenos

the mountain girl whom he knows on

Dealers Get Tags.

Automobile dealers and manufac-
turers may obtain a distinctive license
tag known as dealers license tag.
For $40 year the dealer receives two
such tags, and may secure any number
of duplicates of these tags at 81 each.
In the event of the loss of tag an
automobile owner may have the tag
duplicated by presenting an affidavit
TO the effect that the tag is lost and
upon payment of 81.
Another feature of the new law,
which will doubtless meet with appro-
val, is a provision for prorating the
license tax, so that after August of
each year the price of tag for the
remainder of each year shall be but
one-half the price for the entire year.
The new law also provides for chauf-
feurs license of So per year.
Under this law chauffeur is defined
as one driving an automobile other
, than his own, for compensation. 1t
| is, therefore, not necessary under this
construction, that a car owner need
obtain a chauffeur's license in order to
drive his own car.
No one under IS years old may OBJ
tain a chauffeur's license and the can
didate must have the written reference
| of three we'll known men as to his
! character and his ability to operate an
automobile, and these must also stand
such other examination as the secre-
tary of state may deem advisable.
Exemptions From Law.
Mechanics testing and demonstrate
ing for automobile dealers and manu-
facturers are exempt from the neces-
sity of obtaining chauffeur's license
All licenses are obtainable from the
secretary of state, whose duty it is to
administer the automobile law.
Secretary of State Phil Cook esti-
mates that next year this law will
brings the state a revenue of some
/ $l25,000, and will place some 10000
! bachines upon the books of the state
which have not been there before.
The net revenue arising from this
source goes to the general road fund,

MANY FEATURES To.
NEW AUTO LICENSE.
TAX LAW FOR JAN. |.

1t is claimed for the new law, which
becomes effective January /, 1916, that
il is one of the best such laws in any
state, the bill being combination of
many features from the best known
bills of other states. The author of
the bill is Mr.. Garland Jones, repre-
sentative from Coweta county, to
whose untiring efforts the successful
passage of the bill may be largely at
tributable
The salient features or the Jones au-
tomoible license tax law are as fol-
lows:
Instead of fiat rate for all automo-
biles, as under the present law, tn
new law provides scale of prices for
license tags as follows:
For motorcycles, 50.
For automobiles of 25-h. p. and
under, SO.
Tor automobiles of from 25-h. p. %
Ssh. p, "a.
For automobiles of 35-h p. and up
wards, S..
For one-ton trucks, SO.
For to Alton trucks, 81.
For trucks of six tons capacity or
more Sc.

to be prorated among the counties OF
the state on a basis of total pubic
road mileage in each county, outside
the incorporate limits Of towns ana
cities, according to the proportion this
total county mileage bears toward the
total public road mileage of the state.
The money thus distributed is to De
used by the counties in road construc-
ton, as under the present law. Under
the present law, however, distribu-
ton Is made upon basis OF rural
route mileage.
The trainers of the new law have
endeavored to provide for better en-
forcement of this law by allowing the
secretary of state to appoint inspec-
tors who shall round up the delin-
quents and bring prosecutions unless
they comply with the law. The new
law provides that the secretary OF state
shall not less frequently than once
month call to the attention of the sher-
ifs of the various counties the provis-
ions of this law, and it shall then be
the duty of the sheriff to investigate
and find out whether all automobile
owners in his county have complied
with the law, and if not, to prosecute
the delinquents.
Powers of Secretary.
In event of failure of the sheriff to
perform this duty, the secretary
state may appoint inspectors in such
counties who shall perform the duty
Of rounding up the backsliders from
the law. Such inspectors shall receive
a salary of 81 per day and expenses,
while making such inspections. Their
work, however, would last but week
or so, in each instance. Secretary
Cook says that already he has received
some 200 applications for jobs as in
spectors.
Other principal provisions Of the law
are maximum speed limit Of 80 miles
an hour; making it misdemeanor to
attach license tag to an automobile
in such manner that it swings or in
any other manner that it will not
receive the light of the tail light at
night; making it a misdemeanor to use
any other tag than the one registered
for or to counterfeit tag for any
one, but the secretary of state to sell
tag; prohibiting automobiles from
driving past standing trains or street
cars while passengers are getting on
or off; making it misdemeanor for a
motorist to fail to stop and render as
s-stance, and give his name and adj
dress in case of an accident for which
he is responsible; prohibiting any one
under 16 years of age from driving an
automobile.
All owners must have their license
tags by March l of each year.

people think that when they turn

depends on what kind Of pasture.
They must have tender grass,

make them grow, and as soon as
you get them up to a hundred
