amendment had enough support to

TO MAKE Community
LIFE MORE ARTISTIC
(By United Press)

Berkeley, Cal, Nov. 14-Music,
painting, sculpture, literature, and
drama will in the near future be of
as much civic concern in the city OF
Berkeley as the maintenance Of the
streets, the police force, or the equip
ment of the fire department.
The Berkeley Chamber of Com
MERGE recently decided that the ar
tistic side of community life was be-
ing neglected. Hence committee
was appointed to organize and sug-
gest the best means of support Of arts
and crafts.
The committee is composed OF
Berkeley citizens who arc recognized
authorities in artistic lines.
Berkeley is declared to be the first
CITY in the country to adopt the time
honorcd European idea Of patronlz-
ing the arts. The plan outlined by the
Chamber of Commerce envlsagcs
municipal support, and this has been
readily promised by the city author
tiles. 90,
Artist residents in Berkeley will
be recognized, encouraged, and as
sisted by the municipality perhaps
in collaboration with a semi-officlal
body. Creative artists in every line
will be sought out.
The final aim is to have an ARTS
Center" maintained by the city,
where Berkeley's talented men and
women may be seen, heard and APP
, preciated and it is believed that such
an "Arts Center" will eventually be
self-supporting.
Special committees dealing with
music, art, sculpture, and literature
are already at work under the dlrec-
ton of Charles Keller, poet, drama
fist and author, and Mrs. Roger
Nobel Burnham, we'll known for her
direction and production Of plays.

BE LIVELY TODAY
Darkey Aggregation to Put on Concert
Supplemented BY String Band music.

Saufley Beach will be a lively place
today. With the return of settled
weather, the attendance at the beach has
improved and it's popularity restored.
This evening, commencing at six o'clock,

the coming of the new moon and the set
tied September weather, Saufley Beach
ought to be the mecca Of the younger
set.
The installation of the big beach re-
Hector makes the night bathing safe and
delightful. The beach is open every day
Of the week, and parties are especially
encouraged, as this is the only resort
where small groups may entertain with

LARGE INCREASE IN
MAXWELL BUSINESS
May Profits Will Exceed That of April
BY Healthy Sum of Million Dollars

With total volume of May business
amounting to $5,73S,OO0, the Maxwell
Chalmers organization ran true to the
predictions of those on the inside and
exceeded its exceptionally favorab BILE
April volume by close to a million
dollars, according to figures just re-
leased by VIM. Robt. Wilson, the presi-
dent.
The report also shows a May in
crease Of 100000 in current assets
over the figure at the close of April
with less than 100000 increase in liza
bilities for the same period. Liabilities
increase consisted mainly, it is ex-
planned, of additional materials and
equipment necessitated by the expan-
sion of production schedules.
Likewise, it is stated, the May profits
when complete reports are available,
will be considerably in excess of the
healthy showing of better than half
Il million dollars in April.
Cash and cash securities are also
said to have reached a new high figure
for the year on Saturday last when
they mounted to the impressive total
of $9,500,000.
One of the most notable features of
the company's current business, it is
pointed out by Mr.. Wilson, is the fact
that outstanding drafts represent only
seven and one-haf days OF shipment
which is less than the minimum time
required for placing the present out
put in dealers hands. ~. i:
'Tt shows two very important
things" he says. First. it reveals en-
phatically an unprecedented demand
for our products. Next, it proves the in
creasing financial strength of our deal
ers which makes 1t possible for them
to take care OF their obligations so
promptly.

A Hint of What His Mysterious
Act Will Do

The several committees in charge Of

OF America are earnestly at work and
have closed up some wonderful and
novel attractions. In fact the block
! party itself will be a novelty to Pen
sacola and will probably be the first
of its kind held in the whole state of
Florida. The people in the neighbor-
hood of the Elks club are so neighbor-
ly and enthusiastic about it that they
readily consented to the closing of the
street in front of their homes so as to
allow all room possible for the attrac-
tions which will be offered to the
people of Pensacola for the first time.
The committee is not going to an
nounce its whole program at this time
but will do so from day to day so as
to gradually prepare them for ono of
the livliest and most novel entertain
ment ever undertaken here.
Lieut.. Tucker however, is very arx-
ious to get his attraction in the lime
light at once so as to give those who
will attend an opportunity to read and
study up his subjects. His will be a
