Plans for a clubhouse for the mcm-
bers Of the Royce Aten Post No. 25 Of
the American Legion. were the prin-
cipal subject under discussion at the
meeting held in the court house We'd
nesday night.
1t was hoped that they would lie
able to secure the Country Club for
the coming year or buy it outright if
necessary. but certain members of the
club were oppoced to the idea and the
attention of the Legion was directed
to other methods. Vern Garland was
appointed chairman of committee to
investigate the situation and report
at his earliest convenience. 1t was
suggested that the Post build a club
house. This idea seemed to be the
most feasible one and most likely will
be carried out.
John Kepley was appointed COM
'nittee of one to make plans for an
Armastice Dav celebration to be held
November II.
He reported the actions Of the state
convention. held in San Diego last
month. In regard to the japanese

tion they might take towards exluding
them from California"
More than 25 members of the Post

CITY DIV ELLERS
FOR CLOSED CARS

Vacationists who have spent some
time in the coast towns are report
ing common experience in that they
noticed the great increase in the num-
ber of Ford enclosed cars on the
streets and highways.
The los Angeles Ford branch, where
thew assemble half hundred Fords
day, is said to be turning out about
seventy-five per cent enclosed models.
In the beach towns. where the heavy
fogs prevail in the mornings and eve
nings, the demand for the Coupe and
Stdan is constantly on the increase.
Business men report them to be as
comfortable as the higher priced cars
and mighty convenient for use in the
city because of the quick getaway in
the traffic.
Mothers are finding them just the
thing for taking the youngsters to
school and for the shopping trips.
There is none of that blown to- pieces
experience for the women who use

CrOker is Held Mentally Able to
 Handle Affairs

West Palm Beach, Fla, July 12.-- Richard Croker, former Tammany chief, was adjudged mentally compe- tent to handle his affairs in a decis- ion here today in which Judge Donnell dismissed the injunction proceedings brought by Howard Croker, son of the New Yorker.
 The son had sought to have his father and his stepmother barred from disposing of the elder Croker's Florida property, estimated at nearly a mil lion dollars, and had contended through his counsel that the former Tammany leader was not fit mentally to care for his affairs. In dismissine the suit and upholding the contentious of the defendant, Judge Donnell as sessed the costs against the son.
 The elder Croker declined to dis cuss the case tonight. He stated that he and Mrs. Croker would sail from New York Saturday for Ireland. Thei, trip across had been postponed by the trial.

 Shortly after his arrival today here from San Francisco, Senator Glass went to the white house but did not see President Wilson. He expressed himself as greatly pleased "with the work of the convention" and said Che looked for corking good cam paign by the party with the prospect
 of victory in November"
 "Cox is a genuine democrat, and If elected will give the country safe Iand clean administration said MT. Glass.
 "Of course I think well of the plat form, as I had hand in its prepara- ton. The convention thought well of it, too; indeed, the convention unani-
 mously declined to permit it to be tempered with in any respect. It was impervious alike to rhetoric and scheming. It was adopted without al iteration of word and expresses the convictions, the hopes and the aspira- tions of the democratic party without
 evasions or reservations of any kind.
