"Thc value of the special Ford one

according to Mr.. Stivers, manager of

"To quote G. +. Shield of the Shield s

SO. CALIFORNIA
MOTOR PARADISE

Proof that Southern California has
achieved honors long striven for by
other sections Of America-namcly, to
be the motoring paradise of the world
has just been accorded the AutOmO-
bile Club of Southern California.
According to club officials, this sec
tion of the state has lately been the
subject of much good natured comment
in the press of the northern counties for
its activity in promoting the interests
of motorists who visited here from the
east and from Oregon and Washington.
In some instances, it is stated, the
northern press has gone so far as to
point out that perhaps Southern Cali
fornia has misrepresented facts in re
gard to the condition Of transcOntincnt'
al routes leading across Utah into nor
thern California.
More than 100000 road maps will
be used by motorists in Southern Cali
fornia this year:
According to figures issued Yesterday
by the Automobile Club of Southern
California this part of the state of
California is the most mapped territory
in the world.
In 1918 there were only 350,90:s road
maps used annually bye autOists here
abouts. The next year this numb +
jumped to more than 100000 at which
time the eyes of the entire United
States ccntered on Southern California
as the worlds greatest touring and
motoring center.
Last year local auto owners and cas-.
ern visitors secured 3,Sl4,6f0 maps
showing Southern California and trars.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC
ASKS help OF
SHIPPERS

j. II. Dyer, general manager of the
Southern Pacific Company, strongly
urges heavier loading of freight ears
bv shippers to relieve the present car
shortage in Il statement issued today,
he says
"At TIE end Of August we had Pa
less freight cars awaiting repairs than
ut the same period last year, as we
loaded on our lines VI, ,l1S ears Of com
mcrcia freight compared with ,3G'
for same month last year.
cit is observed, however, not with
standing the increased business, which
had the effect of inducing a car short
age that shippers did not load ears to
capacity nor as efficiently as i'll Aug
ust last wear, rs indicated by the fact
that our average carload was but COS
per cent of our cdpac1fY compared WIN
62.7 last year, even instances where
density permits of loading cars to capa
city, such as barley, beans and peas,
sugar beets, brick and lumber, the
average carload was considerably less
than capacity, while the average car
load of fruits, vegetables and other
refrigerator freight was nearly Il ton
less tndn faSU year. ihe net effect oi
this refrigerator loading applied to HE
81 1873 cars loaded necessitated 3,1Sl
more ears than would have been needed
if loaded as efficiently as last year.
"In time if heavy movement it js
of advantage to the shipper to load
and unload ears promptly and to the
greatest possible extent load them t.
capacity. Delays in loading and I'M
loading and failure to load to capacity
have the same effect as Il proportional
reduction in the number of available
ears.
"In view of increased traffic it is
hoped that shippers will avoid delays
and load efficiently BY SUCH eoopcra-
ton they will substantially aid in re
lieving Il situation of mutual concern. =

WASHINGTON. June IA gen.
eral overhauling Of the United
States Veterans Bureau, affecting
perhaps evens the position OF direc-
tor. now held by Charles r. Forbes,
is likely within the next two months
az the elimination OF dissatisfaction
among ex-service men.
For months the situation within
the bureau has been the subject OF
serious concern to officers and men
OF ex-service organizations, includ-
ing the American Legion, the Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars and the Dis
1tled American Veterans of the
World War Efforts by these or
CARNATIONS to obtain the fullest
measure OF Justice for suffering ex-
service men have made little head
way.
Instead OF improving. the situation
IS declared to be growing worse.
A certain amount Of delay and
confusion was expected to follow the
decentralization of bureau WORK,
. following the establishment Of Il
I re gional bureaus.
/ Both the organization and admin
/ istration OF these bureaus. however,
IS now being subjected 10 criticism
by service organizations
The charge is made that in many
districts. instead OF providing a
shortcut and quick action, they only
add 10 the red tape and delay.
/ The sub-ofiees under the district
I officers. however, where a more In
innate contact Is maintained with
/ the men, are declared 10 have been
distinct benefit.
/ The major part OF the attack on
the bureau viii be directed against
It's medical organization and delays
IN providing better and more ade-
quate disqualification. particularly
/ for tubercular and mental cases
Army Men Make Decisions.
The first part OF this count will be
Z based on the charge that the medi-
ca, direction OF the bureau IS being
Prussianized
Among service men familiar with
conditions in the bureau, Il Is re-
garded a significant that two civil
IAN physicians OF high ability, both
OF whom saw service with the Amer
lean army and who are on the staff
Of the chief Of the medical division.
have comparatively little OF the
work assigned to them.
Two regular army medical men,
OF Identical rank in the bureau or
ganization. supplant them in hand
ling virtually all important medical
decisions particularly az 10 percent

amount OF compensation.
Because OF the steady Increase IN

arising from war service. Il looks

attempting 20 stem II.
Typical OF this IL Il declared, is
his acQuiescence in the location OF
kospitai sites chosen entirely outside
the bureau
The law appropriating s1T.000,00e
for these new hopsitals provided the
selection OF sites should be made By
the director OF the Veterans bureau
Yet 10 date every selection has
been sent over 20 the bureau from
the White House
While work on many OF these hos
pitfalls has not vet been started. al

istration, even though it may mean
an injustice to an ex-service man.
Every disability rated as 10 per
cent" instead OF temporary TO-
tar or permanent total" means
dollars saved to the government
treasury.
There is no lodging the fact that
many "gold-brickers" seek compen-
sation. There are bound 10 be un-
scrupulous persons in an army OF
4 COO. 600 men.
But how about men with acknowl-
edged active tuberculosis who apply
for disability ratings within two
years from the date of discharge?
The law covering disability allow
ances specifically provides that a
case OF tuberculosis developing with
in two years after discharge shall
be considered as incurred in service
and so allowed
Yet within a month such cases
have been disallowed by the regular
army medical men of the bureau,
and only finally passed when Amer
lean Legion officials demanded that
the law be followed
Failure TO maintain an essential
personal and sympathetic toucn,
both with men undergoing hospital
ization and with those being given
vocational rehabilitation, is charged
against the bureau. The case Of a
law class right in Washington, the
home of the bureau. is cited as
( typical:
Here $50 trainees are taking a
course in law.
There is just ONE man to super
