the general impression that the case

it is her allegation that their rsla-

and simple, and is seeking to prove
that she was an adventures.
The present action is based upon a
claim for damages totaling $37 500,

Let's go back few hundred years,
"the days of old when knights were

tempo Of clashing steel! We are
now in France. 1t is the reign of
Louis XII. Love, romance, politics
of nations and intrigue share equal
lily the time of royalty and subjects.

own is ever present, but you are so

"The Three Musketeers," is unfold

In his selection Of vehicle Fair
|banks gives US something vital and
pulsating. 1t is more than mere en-
|tertainment; it is an education in his
tory, dealing with one of the most vi
Ibrant phases of Old World past.
1t has been a life ambition of the
star to transcribe "The Three Mus
keteers" to the screen, and Dumas,
were he here today, would not be
ashamed, but justly proud, of Doug

prototype of D'Artagnan here. Per
haps the D'Artagnan of Dumas im-
mortal pages was not surcharged with
$50 much nervous energy or athletic
accomplishment as that possessed by
the smiling screen actor, though it is
hard to believe that one less physical
lily equipped could achieve so man
difficult feats.
Fairbanks, in doing full justice to
therole, was called upon to use every
athletic trick in his bag. Those who
were of the opinion that Doug rests
up bit" in this picture are due for a
surprise. The character doubtless is
the most exacting, physically as we'll
as histrionically, of his long and
lively career.
The photodrama throbs with action

terrific in it's intensity. There is not
one glaring inconsistency in its whole
continuity, an achievement worthy of
your attention. The plot bowls alone
merrily just as soon as the director

no wasted action. Edward Knoblock
has held his titles to the minimum,
thus avoiding the oft-encountered

ROAD OPEN
At | EACH
D A !
Until Detour is Made Safe
Barriers Will BE Let
Down Every Afternoon:
Be There Promptly

The condition of the Mountain
Springs grade and the detour to get
around the workers on the grade has
given considerable thought to motor
lists of the valley, who are compelled
to use this, the only outlet to the
coast.
The detour has caused practically
all of the trouble. 1t is dangerous
for any but skilled drivers, and load
ed trucks cannot make it at all.
i Engineer higgins, inpc11arxe of the
reconstruction work for the State
Highway Commission, has had plen-
ty of trouble on account of the clos
ing of the grade, and it has all been
on account of this detour.
To do the best he can to accom-
modate motorists, he has established
a new rule. If you are going to San
Diego, or coming back from there, ar
range your trip so that you can get
to the opening of the grade at either
end at l o'clock p. m. of each day,
and you can get through.
Last Wednesday John w. Swallow,
automobile editor of the San Diego
Union, made a trip over the road to
mark the conditions. going over both
the grade and the detour. At that
time, says Mr.. Swallow, the detour
had cost Wiggins $500 and was in
terrible shape. Last Friday he nut
his entire force on the detour, and
with what remains of the S3OOosset
aside for the work expects to make ftS
more passable 1t was recommended
to the Auto Club at that time to hold
up posting the detour for general
travel until after Winnings had fin
ished his work on it, which they have
done.
Now Virgins, being anxious to get
the road finished, just as San Diego
people and Imperial Valley people
are anxious for him to, couldn't let
travel run on the road while his big
steam shovel was working. After GO
ing over everything he decided that
at l o'clock each day he could lift
the barriers and have the travel go
through-so if you are going to the
Valley get there at that time.
At other times passenger cars can
take the detour, which BY the middle
of this week will probably be in bet
ter shape than when the Union party
went over it. Trucks will find it
hard going, but passenger cars, if
they are careful, will or should have
no trouble. The detour road isn't
steep, although there are two sharp
pitches, and isn't soft, but it is rocky.
1t would be impossible to make a real
good detour road for less money than
it will take to improve the present
grade.
There will be barrier at both
ends of the grade and when these are
up it won't be- advisable for travel
to go through for they will just have
TO turn around and come back. How
ever, when the barriers are down,
drivers will take this as signal
that the grade is open. The barrier
going toward Imperial is just shorf
distance the other side Of Jacumba,
while the one at the other end is right
at the SPRING.

Federal Reserve ReDort .ShOlUs
Good business Conditions
Wth Bright Outlook for
Future .
(By Associated Press)

| DAN . FfANClSCO, Nov. 28.-
Greater industrial activity is noted in
the Twelfth Federal Reserve District.
according to the October report of
John Perrin, San Franciso. Federal
Reserve agent.
with the practical ending of the
strike in the San Joaquin valley fields
of California, production of petro-
leum has risen rapidly. AS a result
OF the strike, October production was
the lowest of any month in several
years and stored stocks were conse.
quently drawn upon to meet the de-
mand.
Building activity in this district
during October passed all records
both in number and value of build
ing permits issued, continuation of
the rapid increase in volume Of
building operation which began in
July of this year.
Sales OF electric power for, indus.
try purposes in California during
! September, as reported by the eight
principal power producers, were as
per cent greater in kilowat hours
than in September, 1920, the out
standing increases being in the San
Joaquin valley and in Southern Cali
fornia. The total output of electric
energy by these companies was 35.7
greater than in September, 1920.
Increased activity in industrial
centers during the month provided
sufficient additional employment to
offset the decline noticeable in the
rural districts with the end of the
harvest and employment conditions as
a whole in the district are practically
unchanged as compared with those of
the preceding month.
'In the field of business, bank
clearings of twenty principal cities,
which were 14.1 per cent less than
those of October, 1920, the highest
point ever reached in the district, in
dicate that the physical volume OF
trade in the district is greater than
it was year ago.
Reports from 1877 wholesalers in
ten lines of business in the district
indicate that net sales during the
nine months of the year were 10 to
so I|er cent less in value than those
of the corresponding period of 1920.
These percentages of decline roughly
approximate the percentage of the
decline in prices of their wares re-
ported by these merchants, and it is
probable that the physical volume of
wholesale. trade today is not great
ly different from that of October.
1920, with the exception ofs agrcul-
tural implements, in which line the
reduced purchasing power of rural
communities is strongly reflected
Reports from thrtv-five depart
ment stores indicate that their Octo-
Der sales were 6.3 per cent less in
value than the sales of October, 1920.
They advise that their prices are from
| 10 to 80 per cent less than they were
year ago, and it seems fair to con-
clude that the volume of merchan-.
disc passing over their counters is
now appreciably greater than it was
in October, 1920.
Easier credit conditions in the dis
tyict whioh hacoYoo apporopf d,, r,
September, largely as a result of the
rapid and heavy marketing of aeri-
cultural products, have continued in
greater degree during October.
