SEEDLESS APPLE Is
RIVERSIDE'S LATEST

RIVERSIDE, Oct 2.-The birthplace
Of the seedless apple, as well as the
seedless orange, is the latest claim to
distinction made by Riverside Last
year, P. T. Evans discovered an old
tree on the Robert Fellows place which
produced fruit which was absolutely
seedless and coreless, and of sweet
and attractive taste. He had a num-
ber of buds removed and budded into
nursery stock at the Hemet nurseries,
One hundred and fifty of these budded
trees are now ready for planting in
January, and in order to give his dis
covery thorough test, Mr.. Evans is
arranging to distribute them without
charge to various parts of the country
to growers who wish to assist in the
experiment. The original tree, well
cared for, has good crop this year.

158. 145 AUTOS IN CALIFORNIA
PAY $1,923,7O IN MOTOR FEES

SACRAMENTO, Nov. 2.-The 81,
100000 mark in fees to the California
motor vehicle bureau is being ap-
preached. With total of 15S, ,145 cars
registered,y 25,798 motorcycles and 49,
O51 chauffeurs, the state has been en-
riched 81 ,923,7O6.
While California has passed the high
mark predicted for it in registrations
this year, other states are forging
ahead with amazing rapidity. New
York has increased its lead with 222,-
025 cars, or one automobile to every
forty-four persons in the state. Cali
fornia has one car to less than half
that many inhabitants.
But New York, with it's 63,880 more
cars than California, has paid 500, ,391
less in fees.
Illinois will rank next to New York
with total near the 100000 mark be-
fore the end of the year. Ohio has
come with a rush in 1915, having reg
istered so far 176,428 cars This tota
shows the amazing gain of nearly sc
per cent increase over the registration
of last year.
Iowa has probably been the best
field of all from the manufacturers
standpoint this year. The Hawkeye
state has absorbed $4,000 new cars
and is still buying. Iowa now has more
than 100000 machines. AS in Kansas
the majority of Iowa autos are owned
on the farms.

NEW AUTOMOBILE ACT TO
Be EFFECTIVE january FIRST
MORE Than 100000 MOTORISTS Will FEEL CHANGE IN Law
ADOPTED BY LAST SESSION OF STATE LEGISLATURE
Horsepower Classification Has Been Discarded and Flat Rate of 40 Cents
Per Horsepower Will Be Charged Vehicles Including Bicycles and
Horse Drawn Vehicles Must Carry Lights On State Highways

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 2.-More than
100000 motorists will be affected by
the change in various laws which goes
into effect Jan. 1, 1916.
On that date the new vehicle act OF
California, passed at the last session
of the legislature, will go into effect at
the same time that the motor vehicle
act of 1913, now in force, many pro-
visions of which, ever since their adop-
ton, have been the object of bitter
criticism and opposition on the part
of the motorists of the state, is re-
pealed and superseded by the new
law.
A book entitled Digest of the Vehi-
Gle Act of 1915" is now being pub
lished by the legal department of the
Automobile Club of Southern Califor-
MIA for distribution among the clubs
members. One branch of the service
rendered by the legal department to
members of the Automobile Club of
Southern California includes the dis
semination of information pertaining g
to the regulation of the ownership and
use of motor vehicles. In order to fa-
miliarize the club members with those
provisions wherein the new act differs
from the old law, the legal department
will issue this digest.
The book is made up of fore
word" which contains a brief history
of the passage of the law, the digest
of the law itself, and an article on the
organization of the legal department
Several blank pages are provided,
whereon members may jot down sug.
gestions which occur to them from
time to time for improving the present
traffic rules and regulations.
These suggestions are to be signed
and mailed in to the legal department,
where they will receive careful con
sideration, and, if feasible, steps will
be taken to secure their adoption.
The following are few of the points
wherein the new law differs from the
| old:
While the new law omits many pro-
visions which the advocates of the
Automobile club bill would like to
have seen put into it, it is a decided

new LEGISLATION TO
PROTECT GAME;|BIRDS
BIG GAME RECEIVES ADDITIONAL
PROTECTION IN U. S.
Changes Being Made by Different
States to Comply With Federal
LaWs-Deer Hunting Permit
ted in Thirty-six States

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-Legislation
to protect the game of the country has
been enacted during 1915.
In nine states changes bring the
closed seasons in the states for migra-
eral regulations. A limit on the mum
ber of waterfowl a sportsman may
shoot in day was fixed in Arkansas
and Connecticut. Most states fix a
limit of twenty-five or less per day. All
but fourteen of the states which per-
nit quail hunting now have a limit OF
twenty
Big game has received additional
protection in many states. Hunting
mountain sheep has been suspended in
Idaho, Montana and Washington, and
in Montana goats as well are protected
util 1918. Maine moose may not be
shot for four years. This is the first
absolutely closed season for moose
since 1880. In Wyoming moose hunt
ing is permitted for the first time in
twelve years, allowing the killing of
fifty bull moose under $100 licenses.
Deer hunting is permitted in thirty
six states, in one-third of which the
hunter is limited to one deer a sea-
son; in most of the other states to
two. Seventeen states protect at all
seasons, and number require that
only those deer may be killed which
have horns of q definite length.
Prairie chicken shooting is permitted
in Indiana for the first time since
1907. Indiana, however, prohibits the
use of artificial lights attached to
automobiles for hunting game on or
near highway. Partridge hunters
in Michigan also are prohibited from
using automobiles

CROPS TOO BIG FOR
SUPPLY OF CARS

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2.-Bumpe1
crops in California are causing serious
car shortage on the Pacific coast, and
every facility of the Southern Pacific
Western Pacific, Santa Fe, Salt Lake
and other railroads is being strained
to take care of the heavy freight traf
fic.
The situation is caused by unprece
dented crop conditions in California
and the middle west None of the
roads lack equipment, but the demand
exceeds the supply.
Every line of agriculture, stock rails
ing and manufacturing industry is de-
manding cars. Beets, grapes, canned
goods, dried fruits, hay, wool, alfalfa
grain and raisins are only few of the
products being shipped in trainload
lots.
And with similar conditions obtain
ing in Oregon and Washington, the
pinch is all the more keenly felt by
shippers and railroad men alike.

Improvement upon the act of 1913
The following constitute few of the
salient features in the law which are
regarded as distinct advance in mo
tor legislation:
1. The horsepower classification
system has been discarded, and fiat
rate of forty cents per horsepower has
been adopted.
It has always been a manifest injus-
tice that the owner of a car, the rate
of which is, for illustration, just over
the thirty-horsepower line, should pay
higher tax than an owner whose car
is just under the thirty-horsepow
line.
2. The system of renewing number
plates annually has been discarded
The plates originally assigned to ma
chine will apply to that machine SO
long as it remains in the ownership of
the first applicant, and provision is
even made for the retention of the
same number by a new owner il
prompt application is made. Provision
is also made for the aff1xing of seal
or disk to the number plate originally
furnished by the state, and it is this
small seal or disk, and not the entire
plate, which will have to be renewed
each year.
g. All vehicles, including horse
drawn vehicles, and bicycles are re-
quired under the new act to carry
lamps at night.
f. A definite provision is made in
the act prohibiting the adoption or en-
forcement of local speed and other
traffic regulations by municipalities OF
other local authorities, excepting in Sc
far as the right to enforce such regu
lations may be guaranteed to certain
cities, i. e., cities incorporated under
freeholders' charters by the constitu
| tion of the state.
| 5. All fines and forfeitures collect
ed by any city in it's enforcement OF
the state vehicle act shall belong tc
the several cities of the county, but
shall be paid to the county treasurer
| in the first instance, to be distributed
by him proportionately to the cities OF
the county in proportion to the popu
| lation.

CALIFORNIA BANKS GAIN
RESOURCES DESPITE war
INCREASED RESOURCES AND I'M.
PROVED CONDITIONS SHOWN
Official State Report Proves General
Adverse Financial Conditions Miss
ing Here-No Withdrawals
Registered During Year

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 2-Re-
sources of California state banks have
increased more than $14,000,000 during
the last fiscal year, sin the face OF
general unrest and uncertainty" ac-
cording to the annual report of w. R.
Williams, superintendent of the state
banking department.
Not a single bank in the state sys-
tenn was compelled to close its doors
in the period covered in the report,
and credit has been easy and no en-
terprise worthy of consideration has
suffered from lack of accommodation.
Fortunately, no local perplexity
has complicated the international cri-
sis established by the European war, "
says the report. eve have felt but
family the effect of this upheaval, and
our banks, rejecting the orderly con-
duct of industrial affairs, have enjoyed
prosperity" :
Referring to the resources of the
state banks, the report sets forth that
loans and discounts have expanded in
the amount of $5,562 1928, and deposits
have grown $5,852,511, making an ag-
gregate of $581, ,410,023.
"In the face of general unrest and
uncertainty, the resources of state
banks have increased during the fiscal
year in the sum of $14,428,6 ,631. .05.
Loans and discounts have expanded in
the amount of $5,562, ,623.25, and depos-
its have grown $5,852, ,511.69, making a
splendid aggregate of $581, ,410, ,023.79.
AS a further evidence of the conf
dence which has marked the progress
of the year, the total of capital and
surplus in state banks has been en-
larged to the extent of $278,370, pri-
marily to meet the demand of an in
creasing deposit liability. Credit ne
cessities, therefore, have been met
adequately by the banks"
Regarding the state savings banks
Mr.. Williams report says not a single
notice of withdrawal was required dur
ing the year, and that the deposits
grew until the aggregate on June %
last, the end of the fiscal year, was
$458,708,427, an increase of $9,486,7S8
The report says, in conclusions:
Il am gratified also to report that
the banks of this state are rapidly eX-
pressing their surplus in market val
ues. Very large sums have been writ
ten off because of softening of bond
values, and investments of every char
acter are being subjected to such scru-
tiny as will contribute to the strength
of the institution. While some banks
indulge too freely in the granting OF
overdrafts, the subject is receiving
close attention, to the end that there
may be substantial reductions and
finally practical elimination

NEW PROCESS DRIES
POWDER IN FIVE DAYS

WILMINGTON, Del, Oct. 2.-An i'm
portant discovery by the Du Pont Pow.
der company, whereby the time re-
quired to manufacture smokeless pow
der is greatly reduced, has become
known.
Under method just adopted, the
drying process now takes only five
days, instead of sixty days as hereto
fore. Only twenty-one days are now
required to turn out the finished prod
uct.
This is an outcome of experiments
made by the company's chemists, and
is the cause of the tremendous produc-
ton of explosives at the Carney's
Point, N. j., plant, where about $4,000
men are employed.

EXPORTS OF $8o,ooo,ooo
HIGH RECORD FOR WEEK

NEW YORK, Nov 2.-New Yorl

in the export trade.
Up to noon Saturday, when the Gus
tom house closed for the week, an ap
proximate total of $80,000,000 of cargo
for the foreign trade had cleared from
this port in the preceding six days.
Never before in the history of New
York or of any other port has such &
tremendous volume of trade in ship
ping been handled in the same period
Shipping men confidently predict
that last weeks figures will even be
surpassed in the weeks to come.
Statistics at hand support the pre-
diction. The last available statement
of exports from New York for one

ties Put the total at $67,O00,O00.

POTATO CROP OFFSETS
SHORTAGE IN WHEAT

PARIS, Nov. Senator Jules Me-
line, former president of the cabinet,
presiding at the annual meeting of the
Agricultural assembly, presented sta
tistics showing that the potato and for
age crops this year are SO abundant as
to compensate the shortage in wheat
The excess of hay produced over other
years will enable the feeding of
enough live stock to make up for all
the necessary acquisitions of meat for
the army.
''The eliminating point in the meat
crisis" he says, "will come after the
war, when all the belligerent nations
will have pressing needs with reduced
means of production. Consequently
the forage crop means quite as much
to France as it's production of wheat. ;"

government have been transmitting
representations through American OFF,
cials in Mexico. General Carranza de-
sires that foreign governments deal
directly with him in the future.
This policy is expected to hasten

burglaries have been so numerous of
late that an order went forth to all
postmasters except of the first class
throughout the country to keep on
