CALL OF OPEN
ROAD WEEK IS
BOON TO MANY
Business Men All Over
South Lend Aid to
: Project
Idea Spreads to East
Where National Week
is Planned

Hundreds of .automibile dealers
throughout Southern California are
joining hands this week with bus
mess men and merchants in all lines
Of commercial endeayor in the for
NAL celebration of the Third An
nual Call Of the Open Road week,
which really heralds the formal
opening of the summer touring seas
on.
The annual celebration of week
i'll the month of May as an Open
Road week, during which time the
joys and delights Of California
touring would be called to the at
tention of the motoring public throu-
ghout the state, was started by the
Los Angeles Automobile Dealers ,
Association three years ago and
since that time the magnitude and
importance of the event has grown
with each succeeding Call of the
Open Road Week.
May Is to 10 inclusive have been
set as the dates for the Open Read
week festivities this year and the
cooperation between the automobile
dealers of the state and merchants
in other lines of endeayor, means
that the event this year will have
an even more widespread import
than in times past.
Window Displays Help
Window displays calling attention
to the various kinds of sport clothes
that go with the long motor trip;
fishing ana hunting equipment;
outdoor paraphernala of all sorts
and q thousand and one automobile
accessories that add to the joys of
summer camping, will be features
by merchants.
Mnay of the automobile dealers
are using the week to display to the
best advantage their new sport mod
els and efforts are being made by
resorts and hotels in the mountain
Businesses of the state or at the
beaches, to call especial attention
to their advantages as vacation
ing places.
Manager Burt Roberts of the Los
Angeles Motor Car Dealers Assoc
iatiOn who has been working with
chairman Robert S. Breyer of the
d. Dealers Committee in plans for the
Open Road week festival declares
that the week .ran be used to ad-,
vantage by the general public and
by Chamber of Commerce through
out the state to further advertise
the wonderful advantages of South
ern California as motorists par
adise.
81. frankly do not believe that
there is place in the world that
offers the number of tours over
good roads to such welth of differ
ent attractive localities as is afford
ed the California motorst in South
crn California, declared Brewer.
Makes Hit in East
CalifOrnia's annual Open Road
week has been discussed through
out the entire country and has ar
oused no end of favorable comment
in the East. In fact, according to
word received here many of the
more prominent of the eastern auto
mobile manufacturers are consider
ing the possibility of securing the
endorsement of the National Auto
mobile Chamber of Commerce on an
Open Road week, with dates late
in May, which shall be celebrated
throughout the entire United States.
This move on the part of the Nat
iOnal Automobile dealers would do
much to stimulate early summer
touring and would send tens of
thousands of vacatiOnists on their
trips with better equipment and
better plans for the summer vacat-

DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets-the
substitute for calomel--are mild
but sure laxative, and their effect
on the liver is almost instantaneous.
These little olive-colored tablets are
the result of DIR. Edwards deter
mination not to- treat liver and
bowel complaints with calomel.
The pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have
no bad after effects. They don't
injure the teeth like strong liquids
or calomel. They take hold of the
trouble and quickly correct it. Why
cure the, liver at the expense of
the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays
havoc with. the gums. So do strong
liquids. IT Is best not to take
calomel. Let Dr. Edwards Olive
Tablets take its place.
Headaches, ''dullness'' and that

MEAT IN THE
DIET
BY Brice Belden, M. D.

A RECENT writer sums up.
"a in one of our leading medi-
4 cal journals, the case for
meat in the diet. He is careful
to point out. however, that what
he has to say on the subject re-
lates to the human being who il
well. So please remember that
what is said herein has to do only
with active and healthy people
and not with the sick.
sMeat more closely resembles
our own tissues than does any
other food and from it the great
est amounts of nourishing protein
can be digested. absorbed and utiI.
tzed. The idea that the proteins
derived from vegetable sources
may be substituted for those OBJ
tanned from animal food is not
sound. Animal protein is by all
odds better adapted to serve the re.
quired purpose, because of it's close
correspondence in composition to
our own body cells. AS a matter Of
fact, our sagacious cells deliber-
ately give animal protein the pre.
ference.
A great European authority.
Won Noorden, associates small meat
consumption with weak individuals
or inactive peoples. A small con-
sumption Of protein means a weak
race.
The meat eating races have
been rather tall. The Japanese
soldiers are increasing in height
with each new accession of re-
cruits since the propaganda in
favor of consuming greater quan.
titles of meat. Life Is more diff.
ficult for understood men and
women than for those taller than
the average.
IOOuo SOHlhdlIu6 SuLlIClSHL AMI
NAL protein are essential for not
able intellectual and physical at
tainments. The meat-eatine peo.
pies of the world have accom-.
plished vastly more in the way
of creative work than those whose
dietetic life has been chiefly vege-
tartan.
Great evils, however, follow in
the wake of excess.
