Los Angeles, Cal
Jan. 3, 1921.
Dear Opinion Readers :,
| thought maybe some OF you would
like to hear from us, and how we
were passing away the time out here
The 8th of Nov. we lett Orland 1or
the Sacramento Valley. We stayed
in Sacramento one night, and the
next day hired an auto to take US
around the most interesting places In
that valley. There were many I'M
mense rice fields, also some cotton
and alfalfa, and in some places great
herds of cattle and flocks of sheep
were to be seen. | think there were
rather larger focks of sheep up that
wav than there were herds of cattle,
and sometimes in riding along in the
cars as far as the eye could reach,
II was inst sheep. 1t does not seem
as though wool ought to be so high,
when there is so much of 1t. Among
the most interesting places we Visit
ed was the State capitol, and the
grounds all around it were very
beautiful. We went from Sacrament
to the next day by auto stage 10
Napa, and it was a most aelleiiClui
trip. We passed some dessert lanu,
but most of 1T was in cotton, rice OF
pasture for the sheep and cattle, ana
in some fields we would see nothlne
but a lot of horses and mules. we
went from Napa the 10th OF NoVem-
Der across the bay to San Francisco.
We took a good hotel there and Tor
two DAYS improved our time by slght-
seeing. We visited the Golden cate
Park, one of the most beautltul
places of San Francisco. There we
saw immense trees, shrubs ana
flowers all set out and planted by
the hand Of man, as every loot OF
the park was made. Nothing grew
up wild and one could hardly believe
it possible in riding through 1T as
some of it looked so much like the
natural woods. In the park we saw
the grizzly bear, deer, elk, moose
and herds of buffalo and many other
things too numerous to mention.
Then we went up to the cliff house,
and there we had our pictures taken |
with the rest of our party. In the
evening with Scottie, the guide, we
visited Chinatown. This was a most !
delightful trip and we saw so many /
wonderful things. We went on the
18th back across the bay to Oak !
land to visit Mr. Crafts cousin, Susie i
Worthen, who will be remembered .
by some in Bradford as John
Worthen's daughter. They have a
car so took us around Oakland and !
Berkley, and both places are very
pretty. In the afternoon we took an .
auto stage from Oakland to Vallejo, i
where one of my sisters live. We
thought on this trip we had seen
the wonders Of all, as we wound .
round and around the hills. We did
not reach Vallejo until dark and
stayed with my sister there all
night, then went back to Napa the
18th. The 14th we had a family
reunion at my sisters in Napa with
Just 43 of us to take dinn0r to-
gather, and we all had Our pictures /
taken in a group and did not break |
the camera either. Well we stayed |
around Napa until the 18th waiting |
for il to stop raining, as the rains
had set in in earnest. In Orland it |
fell two inches in one dsy. We caTe
here to Los Angeles the 18th of
November. From Napa the 18th to
Fresno. Cal by train and stayed one !

THE INDIANS KNEW

A famous physician stated that more women might find relief from suffering through taking a medicine like Lydia F. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound than through undergoing surgical operations, if they would on ly take it in time. Ae the first sign of female weakness, as indicated by bachache- dullneSs, bearing down pains and nervous eXha ustion. take this famous remedy of roots and herbs. and avoid the serious conse- qucnces of delay.
 The Indians and early settlers knew and benefited by Natures All lies. the roots and herbs of the field Because Lydia E. Pinkham knew their medicinal value, thousands of women all over the world have been saved from operations, but only such as have taken it in time.-Ady.

Great Animal Show Causes Change. And now the bigger and better been ador.ed by the Ringing Broth CTS and Barnunl 6 Bailey Combined shows has resulted in the elimination Of the street parade. That may sound who will suppose that with the street pageant done away with, the circus must be smaller. But the reverse is true.
 ger and heavier by far than ever be- fore" explained one of the circus ad- vance agen today "1t was the ad- dition of the truly enormous trained ties that added the last straw. Ever since the two famous cIrcuses were merged Into one in 1918, the giving of q street parade has been consider procession was far behind scheduled time. Mothers and the little ones lined the streets for hours. Out at the circus grounds hundreds of men the show on the lot and then to make ready for the parade.

 There was more of everything to be handled. And then. that the public might be given a new and better pro gram for the present season, the RingIings purchased Europe's biggest trained animal show in its entirety and added it to the regular circus pro gram.
 This makes necessary the carrying of sixteen specially equipped railway cars, many wagon-loadS of properties and moro than thirty attendants and trainers Prior to the opening of the big show, four immense steel arenas must be erected in the main tent. to- gether wIsh the tunnels by which lions, tigers, leopards, etc, are trans ferred to and from the dens in winch they travel to the steel enclosures.
 "In order to accommodate these added arenas and, at the same ttme have ample room for the three rings and all the stages used by the human side of the show, the great main tent had to be made larger. Thus, things reached a proportion Ehat simply made necessary the elimination or the street parade

BRITAIN CONSTRUCTS
 ARMORED AIR GRAFT

London, June 15.-At an aero drome on the outskirts of London there is HOW being constructed the first arnIored car of the skies.
 Designed by one of the most ia nous builders in England, the ma chine has been ordered by the Ar Ministry and when completed will be thoroughly tested by specially Seiect- ed service pilots.
 The utmost secrecy Is being main tained, and even the few men WHO are making the machine do not know for what purposes it is to be used
 Unlike most of the newly-iuvented service machines, this newest Is a monop1ane. In the construction Of the fuselage no canvas or bracing wires are being used at all. The framework is of spruce, and instead of doped linen three-ply wood is be- ing used.
 This. it is understood, is to be covered with armor-plates, which will be extended to give the fullest maximum protection to the engines.
 The inside of the fuselage is par ticularly roomy, so that the fullest number of bombs can be carried.
 An entirely new and significant feature is the introduction of a spe- cial gun platform near the tail planes. A short ladder runs up from the floor of the fuselage to this, and from his cockpit the gunner would be able to keep at bay any enemy craft that attacked from the rear.
 There are also to be machine guns fitted amidships and fired by means of the propellor.
 Thus it will be seen that the mon oplane will be as thoroughly and eff ficiently armed as a tank
 The machine guns are so arranged that there will be no blind spot, and those at the rear Of the machine are on swivel mountings. This is a practical advantage, as in the old days aeroplanes had some difficulty in dealing with machines that were behind them, and that was the req son why every pilot endeavored to get ''on the taiP' of an enemy.
 Altogether, the new machine which is to be fitted with a new type of wing that allows it to rise with amazing rapidity, will be far in ad- vance of any warplane that has yet been invented.

PROPELLER HAS
 REVERSIBLE BLADES

Pittsburgh, Pa, June 15.-An all meal prope1Ior for airplanes capable of having the blades reversed, has been delivered to the government by a local company.
 According to officials of the com pany a plane. equipped with this reversible blades in its first test was stopped in a distance of 25o feet by means of the new device Under the old system the planes could not be stopped before travelling at least 700 feet It is the plan of the company to so perfect the new blades that a stop can be made after landing with ir loo feet
 The design of the new blades was made at McCook field while the mechanical details were worked out in Pittsburgh.
 The blades. which are made out of steel tubing of tapering section and thickness. without welding, ex- cept to close the extreme tip. fit over the two arms of the tub. They are held in place by means of rollers and ball bearings. The rollers are said to greatly reduce the fric ion Of the rotation of the blades about their center axis. An angular develop ment of 45 degrees can be obtained by means of a control, which extends to the cockpit.

VICIOUS CIRCLE IS RESULT OF
 CHILD LABOR

The processes of federal law ad- ministration have brought automati- cally into view the vicious circle of child labor, ilIiteracy, bodily feeble ness and poverty. This statement is ! made in a report on the "Admintstra-
 tion of the First Federal Child Labor Law Issued by the U. s. Department of Labor through the Children's Bureau. As a necessary aid in the in teliigent enforcement of this law 8 body of important material was col i lected showing the conditions under which children go to work.
 In States it was necessary for the
 Children's Bureau to handle directly the inspection of certificates and the issuing of certificates. During the g months in which the first federal law vas in force over 2o,000 children in these 5 States applied for certificates of age. Nineteen thousand, six hun dred and ninety-six certificates were granted to children between fl and
 Is years of age, almost as many to
 girls as to boys. Less than one per
 cent.o these children could furnish
 birth certificates as evidence of their
 age, and ony two per cent. offered DaptiSma1 certificates. TwO-frfths sub nitted Bibe records and over one fourth life insurance policies. About one-fourth of thee hildren. however, could furnish no docum entaTy evil dence, and had to secure a physician s certificate to show that they were over fourteen years cd
 Many of the children who were found underyv eight when examined
 by a physician had been working in
 the mills for several years. Some gain
 cd quickly when taken out of the mill
 and put on a better diet. With others
 it was difficult to reach even the low
 standard which the physical require-
 ment required. Many of the parents
 to whom physical defects in their
 children were reported were unable
 to pay for medical attention, and in
 most cases no public clinics were
 available to lend assistance.
 One-fifth of the children in the five
 States left school when they were in
 the fourth grade; almost a tenth of
 them had never attended school or had
 not gone beyond the first grade, and
 ony one twenty-f1fth had attended the eighth or a higher grade. Their edu- cational equipment was even more limited than the grade which they last attended would indicate. While 1,SGS children expecting to go to work had not advanced further than the first grade even when they had gone to school at all, S.379 could not sign their names lesibly and 1915 could not sign their names at all. Over
 one-fourth of the children would have
 been refused certificates if ability to write their names legibIy had been a requirement..
