With a three month iimit on their
foreign" licenses, visiting motorists,
practically to a man, are spending
their full time here and many are tax.
ing out California licenses, according
to report yesterday by M. o. Eman-
ueI from the Automobile Club OF
Southern California.
Spending $2,317,500 every three
months, approximately eleven trans
continental motoring parties are ar
irving at Club headquarters every day,
state those in the touring bureau, and
others are spreading over the state.
California is experiencing the great
est influx of motor car parties in the
history of the state. 1t is estimated by
Automobile Club officials that there
are on an average of five passengers
to each car, and that the average
daily expenditure of each individual
reaches five dollars.
New York State is now dividing
honors with the middlewest in send
ing visitors westward. According to
this report, an unusually large num-
Ter are coming from the states on the
Atlantic Coast, while the middle
states are contributing heavily. A very
large number of parties are now arriv-
ing from Arizona, comprised largely OF
those coming to Los Angeles to pur-
chase new cars and drive them back.
That practically every party CHECK
ing in" at the Automobile Club in
tends to stop over at least three
months, the time limit set by this
state upon licenses from any other
state, was the statement made yester-
day by Secretary Standish L. Mitchell
OF the Club. These are practically all
sightseers, bent upon securing infor-
nation on trips through Southern Cal
ifornia, to the mountains and the sea.
An average of fifteen cars day
have been routed by the Automobile
Club to the Exposition at San Diego
1t is stated that the automobile travel
to the southern city has increased
fifty per cent this year over that of
last.
In an estimate made yesterday by
Club officials it is shown that the to-
tai expenditures of visiting motorists
for the year 1916 in Southern Califor-
mia alone will exceed $4,000. This tre-
mendous sum is being about equally
divided between hotels of various
classes, garages, gasoline stations and
pleasure resorts, while the Exposition
is getting large share of it.
Acting as "host" to the thousands OF
visitors arriving, the Club has distrib-
uted more than 100000 maps this
year, routing these motorists to points
all over the state. The Club has also
recently provided system of official
hotel and garage lists.
These lists include the names of no.
tells which are under contract" with
the organization ito supply efficient
service and reliable accommodations"
Each hotel or. garage selected by the
Club is supplied with an official sign,
and these are being observed through
out California.
Motor travel in California is now
heaviest over the inland route to San
Francisco, including side trips to Ia
hoe, Yosemite Valley, Sequoia and
General Grant National Parks; and
over the coast route to San Diego.
Rapid improvements. however, are
now under way on the inland route to
San Diego and on the coast route to-
San Francisco. Weekend travel is al
SO heavy at this time to Santa Bar
bara, according to Club reports.

trees or bushes furnish ideal range conditions. Corn, rape. sunfiowers. or berry bushes make very good retreat for the birds. Where natural shade is not available, artificial shade may be, constructed by laying trees or boughs across poles about two feet from the ground. Burlap may be used in the form of tent to good advantage.
 Green feed is very important for summer production. Even though the birds are on range. extra feed is often appreciated. At the Contest, dwarf essex, rape and swiss chard have given very satisfactory results. The chard is an all season plant and can be fed from July on. If only the top leaves are cut from these plants, they will continue to grow for several cuttings. All green food, should be fed early in the morning while the dew is on.
 The grain ration fed at the Egg Laying Contest at the present time is equal parts of cracked corn and wheat. The dry mash consists of equal parts of bran, ground oats, corn meal, foar>, middlings and one-half part each of beef and fish scrap. The dry mash is kept before the birds and the grand fed sparingly. However, good grain and mash ration may be. green food and cool houses and ranges are absolutely necessary for maximum summer egg production. t

Skirt To Wear With Blazer Waists.

Suitable to development in gabar dine, serge, flannel or linen is the five-gored model shown here. It may be made with an inverted plait at centeF- back or with habit back. Two styles of pocket are provided and the width of the design at the lower edge is about 3 yards. Medium size re. quires 2N yards 44-inch material. For the waist, about 21h yards 36. inch hatiste or lawn will be needed.
 That the home dressmaker may be properly guided in the cutting of the skirt, today E lesson is limited to that subject. By the aid of the cutting guide, it is possible to see just where the various parts of the pattern be- long and how they shoul@ be placed to savo material and insure a per feet fts The front gore of the skirt is laid on lengthwise fold of mate rial, with the piecing to the right of it, on a lengthwise thread.
 The side and the back pores are laid along the selvage edge of the goods, the straight line of tho pat tern resting directly on the selvage, and the line of large "O' perfora- tions on lengthwisc thread. Tho belt is laid on lengthwise fold, but the pocket and lap are on lengthwise threads.
 If the skirt is to be made with the habit back, then the back edgei will have to be cut of the back gore along line of small Coz perforaeions, The front end of the belt may be cut off at small Co" perforations, if de- sired.
 When one sees how easy it is to make skirt that looks so smart, it is not surprising that many women cling to their objections to ready, made models. The model that is de- veloped by the home dressmaker avoids the pitfalls of materials that have not been sufficiently shrunken and careless finishing.

MRS..STOKES, BIRTH
 CONTROL LEADER

Deliberately defying the authorities and risking Imprisonment, Mrs. Rose
 Pastor Stokes has by her daring in
 behalf of the "cause" become the rec ognized leader of the birth control movement in America. Mrs. Stokes. who claims to act as the spokesman for all her sex in advocating the right of women to voluntary motherhood. was born thirty-seven years ago to- day., July IS 1879. at Augustava. Russia, of Jewish parents. At the age, of four she was taken to London, where she received the rudiments os an education at the Jewish Free School, Nbut for the most part shc is self educated. She was only eleven when she emigrated to America and settled in Cleveland where she was employed as . cigar maker for thir- teen years An eager student and possessed of q keen, inquiring mind and a natural gift of writing, she early began to contribute to Jewish newspaper, and in 1903 she left the cigar factory where she had toiled from the age of eleven to become the assistant editor of the Jewish Daily News in New York. Her spare time waat hpent in sociological work and it was while thus engaged that she
 made the acquaintance of J. G. Phelps Stokes, millionaire. and socialist. and scion of an old and distinguished American family. The acquaintance ripened into love, and on July IS, 1905. her twonty-sixth birthday, Miss

EGG PRODUCTION
 IN HOT WEATHER

Some poultry men depend on hatch ing eggs, chicks and breeding stock for the greater part of the return from their poultry, but by far the most im- portant income from the average flock is from the market egg business. Of course winter eggs bring the highest prices, but there is another season quite as important when the years profit is considered. Following the season of natural production in the spring. the price gradually increases as the days of June and July become hot and dry and the nights become warm.
 August is not usually considered one of the most profitable months with poultry. but it should be if the birds are we'll fed and properly protected against heat. The production in Au- gust may be somewhat reduced as com- pared with early spring, but the price has increased nearly 50 per cent. and the cost of production is even less. The The month of August has each year been the most profitable month in the Egg Laying Contest. Much of the success in summer production is cred- ited to cool, airy houses. shade, and an abundance of green feed.
 Cool, airy houses are very important during hot weather, particularly at night Hcnsss cannot be too open and we'll ventilated. Hens suffer From heat at night if they are crowded in warm houses. Cool roasting quarters make wonderful difference in egg production, Cool nests are absolute ly necessary. It is often advisable to place water dishes and mash hop pers outside in the shade

Abolition of Vodka

 Power of Russians.

Tokie, July 1S.-Charles Miller. a Russian financial agent has arrived in Japan to arrange for the payment of war munitions purchased here and to investigate and study the commercial and industrial conditions with a view to promoting Russo-Japanese trade. Mir. Miller predicts a steady increase in commerce between the two coun- tries when the war is concluded. He said that the abolishment of the sale of vedka, while sacrificing a revenue of over 800 million rubles, has brought about an important improvement in the economic condition of the Russian people and had greatly increased purchasing powers.

wieslander became Mrs Stokes New

Wieslander became Mrs. Stokes. New York society was shaken to it's foun- dations by this marriage, for ~ the handsome young millionaire had been sought after by designing mothers of marriageable daughters in the high est circles of metropolitan society. That young Stokes. wealthy, intellec- tual, member of a family of Church of England inclinations and the most austere traditions should choose as his wife Jewish cigar maker, pass- Ing over the wealthy and "eligible'' society buds. was simply outrageous, and many dowagers expressed the opinion that there should have been a law against it.
 Since her marriage Mrs. Stokes has spent much of her time in socialist propaganda and in advocating the rights of the toilers, but the birth con- trol movement has lately engaged much of her atention. While other birth control propagandists have been content with advocating the repeal of the law which makes illegal the spreading of information respecting the limitation of families, Mrs. Stokes has held public meetings at which the forbidden information has been given to thousands. She asserts that the Jaw is imperative except in the case pf the poor. who are most in need of such information. C

PLENTY OF TIME
 TO woo AND WIN

H. H. writes: T am somewhat dis couraged. Am a young man, single, twenty-five and steady, work hard. Some girls going around have prefer ence to dance hours. A mans hard earned money can be spent after the ball at cafes. I want my future life partner to take an interest in me. We are to go to church and live good lives. I safe for future nice little home and to find true wife. At pres- ent am very lonesome. Widow may be good helpmeet, blonde or brunette, being worthy. I play piano. Try to make evenings pleasant Please aid in finding such."
 Your ideas are just right. Have no idea of the kind of life partner you will meet. Attractions appealing to love are found when least expected. At church, young peoples gatherings, picnics and at friends homes, if you go there, you will succeed. You have plenty of time to WOO and win rightly.

PROTECT THE N
 NATIVE PLANTS

There is danger of extermination of many interesting and beautiful wild flowers through thoughtless and indis- criminate picking.
 It is not our wish to discourage unnecessarily the gathering of wild flowers and ferns for decorative pur- poses. We ask only that they be picked with care and discrimination. Where there is an especially fine plant or colony, why not leave most of the flowers for seed?
 It is hoped that the love for natural beauty which is encouraged in us by the nature books will lead us one step further and induce us to pick few flowers instead of many, and to use moderation in breaking large brancheE of towering shrubs, which will live in water but few days. but represent the growth of many years
 Many of the most effective flowers may be gathered, away from the way side, without fear of doing any per manent injury. Daisies. buttercups, clover, wild roses, meadow-sweet, steeple bush, asters, goldenrod, and other vigorous and abundantly grow ing plants will yield ample material for decoration, and may be gathered almost with impunity.
 From the purchase of the rarer flowers, especially of the purple firing ed orchid, sabbatia, fringed gentians, or mayfiower, we urge every one to abstain. x We urge: 1st. Moderation (not gathering too many flowers of the same kind in one locality.
 2d. Care. (The i~A of scissors or knife). H ali 10 1aJ6sn s a
 3S. Judgment. (Guarding tho roadside and conspicuous locations.)
