channels of the losses sustained in
the stricken region as result of
earthquake, fire, tidal wave and ty-
phoon; second in reconstruction.
Reports have estimated the loss of
life in Toxic, Yokohama and vicinity
at 100000 up to 100000. The latter
estimate came to The Associated
Press by way of Hardin. Damage to
property in Toxic alone, according to
advices today from Shanghai has been
estimated as high as $250,000,000.
Awaiting Reliable Reports.
It is expected that later, more care
full estimates will reduce the casualty
figures. In the great shock and ex-
element exaggerated reports are GER
tain to be made. The Associated
Press has accepted and passed on all
reports that appeared to emanate from
ordinarily reliable sources, waiting for
more accurate dppIdiSdl VI GHe udHI-
age until communication could be re-
established with it's bureau in Toxic.
The first reports were received by
The Associated Press from its Toxic
correspondent through the co-opera-
ton of Reuters. This confirmed in
substance previous reports that Toxic
and Yokohama had been virtually de-
stroyed and said casualties in the CT
ties would run into the thousands. 1t
said the American embassy was de-
stroyed.
1t added that martial law prevailed
in all stricken cities and that help
from outside was badly needed.
Reports from Toxic, by way of
Shanghai, Peking and other cities, to-
day told Of rioting and said that po-
lice were arming citizens to cope with
the situation. The rioting was ascrib-
ed to the food shortage mainly. There
was no confirmation today of yester-
days reports that Koreans had been
shot by soldiers as a result of loot
ing.

Just a year old hence it is cele-
brating both the anniversary of

own first birthday in San Antonio.
Manager Garges is offering to
the public on this occasion, a spec

Grant sale prices which speak for
themselves. While Grant prices
always are the lowest compatible
with quality of goods, on this &C.

before offered at these prices in
San Antonio.
Mr.. Garges states that the
Grant store which is just conclud-

BY WILLIAM ULLMAN.

Probably no other American custom
has been so completely revolution
tied by the automobile as the annual
two-week vacation of the average
man.
Motor cars are making possible an
eternal vacation, a little recreation
at a time, and at time when 1t Is
most needed.
Every day is now vacation time
for the people who haven't become
so absorbed in the utilitarian uses Of
a car as to overlook the fact that
with every mile of business use they
are vacationing.
1t is only a few years ago that a
trip to mountain or shore resort
once q year marked the extent of a
family's annual travelling and vaca-
tioning. 1t might be a matter of 200
miles, seldom more, and two weeks
of time. But today the average mo
torfzed" family thinks nothing of
travelling from 5000 to 10000 miles
per year. with week end trips and
after -office hours spins totaling a
vacation running into months rather
than weeks.
This new twist to vacationizing has
an important effect upon business.
and in a way few motorists are
aware.
Real Value of Car.
This eternal vacationing has become
such a matter of course with q lot
"f people that they are inclined to
lay stress on the fact that owning a
car makes it easier to shop, go to
business in or to help some one catch
a train. But numerous and important
es these uses are. they do not repre-
Aent the most important contribution
Of the automobile to our new form
of living.
The automobiles big service in this
connection is that it keeps the aver
though he had just returned from a
vacation. and at the same time as
mentally optimistic as though he
were just about to start on one.
Under the old system a man never
could finish up efficiently because
thought of breaking down and spend
ing the long g-anticipated vacation in
bed. a nervous wreck.
When he returned home it was al
ways like going back ITO the grind
stone.
The next vacation was so far re-
moved that he dreaded contemplating
'it, knowing the long months inter-
Nening. If he was full of ginger
from two weeks of real life he told
himself that to blow it all off on
the office Immediately upon his re-
turn might leave him played out"
for the balance of the year.
But after an evenings spin in the
car the work of the next day is
ttckled cheerfully. with the thought
always in view that directly after din
ner vacationizng commences anew.
In summer the motorist invariably
resumes his vacationing before the
conventional hour for dinner; and

VACATION ALL YEAR ROUND
AFFORDED BY FAMILY AUTO

During Hot Months.

even makes that meal a part of the
vaca ton scheme simply by wrapping
up part Of it in paper napkin and
thermos bottle.
All this Is familiar ground to the
motorist. but has it ever occurred to
him that by taking these daily motor
1aunts into the byways and highways
or the world at hand he is. in the
long run, taking the equivalent of
millionaire's vacation?
The winter vacation usually is re-
served for those folks who fail in the
attempt to fight disease. Jack Frost
and business complications. and who
can't enjoy their rest" because of
broken health, but the automobile has
come into vogue as a means of keep
ing all outdoors at the beck and call
of the man who rolls over the snow
packed roads, snugly comfortable in
the machine, which enables him to
reap the benefits of the season with
out Its drawbacks.
The automobile enables the business
man to avoid those protracted vaca-
tions which cost him fortune. upset
his business and give him new
batch of gray hairs.
Vacation When Needed.
The automobile vacation is more
logical. 1t offers recreation when
and as needed. 1t is a tonic. not a
hypodermic
The whole thing gets back to the
installment plan. Automobiles are
being bought on easy payments Wise
owners know that the way to sue
ceed in keeping car young is to at
tend to it in installments-a little
bit every day. 1t is only logical that
vacationing via automobile should
be run on the same plan.
A typical case showed that twenty
years ago a family made about three.
trips In the course of year, travel
ing 600 miles or SO.
Today the average family-on a
, smaller salary, in some instances. or
! at least a salary that looks like less
in the long run-travels several thou
sand miles per year. visiting perhaps
one or two hundred points of inter-
est en- route.
The secret of the whole thing is
that the automobile makes possible
this extensive travelling. or vacation
ing. by offering it in easy INSTALL
ments, not all in one lump.
The country cannot help but benefit
by this newer and more extensive
form of vacationing. 1t keeps the
people mentally and physically ft
balancing work and recreation so
that life is no longer fifty weeks of
drudgery and two of liberty.
All this combines to enable every
one to better enjoy the conventional
summer vacation from work and to
utilize IL LOT the EcdllZdtlOn OF tIlt
more pretentious plans of the motor
lied" family.
When the two-week vacation comes
round 1T is used for the big trip" but
| when the gong rings and folks are
| back on the job again. there is al
ways the inspiring thought that the
vacation is not really over.
It's always vacation time for the
motorist.

TRUCKS IN MARYLAND

BALTIMORE. June 23.-Hundreds of
truck owners and drivers in the state
and neighboring cities disregard a
section of the motor vehicle law
which requires that trucks be equip

started.
Besides the trucks entirely without
the mirror or reflector appliance,
there are large numbers with broken
or poorly adjusted mirrors, he said.
The law provides for fine of IS to
$50 for failure to comply with the
regulation.
The state police have instructions
to enforce the law strictly on the
state roads. but are advised to warn
the truck drivers or owners before
summoning them to court for failure
to have mirrors.
This leniency leads to difficulty in
compelling compliance with the law.

1t was said, as when a driver is warn
ed, unless he meets the same officer
later, he Is apt to go unmolested ex-
cept for further warnings by other
officers If he does not equip his

OKLOHOMA SOLONS CALL
SPECIAL SESSION FOR 18TH

Oklahoma City, OKLA GA. P)-
A call for special session of both
houses of the Oklahoma legislature
on October II, to investigate the
commission of impeachable offenses
by the officers of the state subject to
impeachment" was issued here to-
night by w. D. McBee, state repre-
sentative from Stevens county.
In issuing the call, members of
the house who have opposed Gov
-ernor J. G.. Walton, determined not
to await the outcome of an injunct-
ion action instituted by the execu-
tive to prevent the state election
board from certifying the returns OF
Tuesdays election to the secretary
of state.
They proceeded on the theory that
a majority of the votes cast having
been in favor of the amendment, 1t
became law without the formal1ty OF
certification, which they declared
was mere routine without sfgnlfl-
canoe in law.

VANDAL PLAYERS
STUDY ON TRIPS
DESIGNATED HOURS TO BE DE-
VOTED TO SCHOLASTIC TASKS
BY MATTHEW'S MEN

Idaho football players will find lit
tie chances this year to forget that
they came to the university to study
Even on trips they will have to take
their books along and devote certain
designated hours each day to the
tasks assigned them.
This plan was proposed by X. l..
Mathews, director OF athletics, at the
first faculty meeting of the year and
was greeted by the faculty with ap-
plause. The coach asked the coop
Grafton of the faculty in assigning
definite duties for each day while the
teams were away on trips. He guar
anteed definite study hours and prom
ised that work, particularly written
work. would be turned in.
President A. H. Upham said that
last year'steams had been praised III
a letter from railroad officials for the
studiousness and fine behavior OF IDA
ho men while on trips.
The study-on-the-train plan is es-
pecially significant in view OF the TACT
that the Idaho season closes with
trip to California on which three
games will be played-with Oregon

FRESHMEN IMPROVE.
In ALL BRANCHES
,yANDAL YEARLINGS SHOW MORE
: PROMISE-THREE TEAMS OF
EQUAL ABILITY

Practice by practice, in every way,
the University of Idaho's 1928 fresh
man squad looks better and better.
There is, in the opinion OF the
coaches, more promising material IN
this seasons turnout than there was
in the squad from which last seasons
team which took the northwest con-
ference freshman championship, was
built. Opposing this bright outlook
is an under-current that this seasons S
squad will require more work than
any other. 1t seems that this season
the frosh gridders are greener than
usual.
Several scrimmages have been held
between the Vandal youngsters and
the varsity, but it took few games
before the frosh got over their rear OF
bucking into Coach Mathews bunch
of regulars. When they found that
the varsity was far from invinc1ble
they made an excellent showing.
Equal In Ability
Both line and backfield are present
in encouraging amounts. Coach Mac
MILAN, who gave Idaho her freshman
pennant winners last season, is the
authority for the statement that there
are about 33 players of equal ability
making the selection of first string
difficult matter Outstanding among
the backfield candidates are John
Miles of Culdesac, whose previous
football experience is less than no
thing; Frank Powers of Moscow; e.
F. Cooper of Tacoma, Wash, and the
brothers of Cascade,
Montana.
Line players who are unusually
in practice so far are Rob
ert Putzier of Twin Falls; Donald
Flynn of Twin Falls; Lew. Hanson of
Moscow; Carl and Roland Hutchln-
son of Chewelah, Wash.
Idaho will know definitely whether
those glowing freshmen prospects are
merely false when the Vandal babes
meet the Gongaza university second
team at Spokane, October 20. Con
zage is reputed to have bunch OF
second stringers that look good
enough at times to be mistaken for
the varsity.

BIG CROPS ON
UPPER PALOUSE
SEASONS RUN OF THRESHERS
SHOWS POSSIBILITIES OF CUT
OVER LANDS-SOME YIELDS

The Harvard Farmers Cooperative
thresher pulled into it's winter
quarters Monday after completing a
most successful seasons run, cover
ing a period of twenty-five days in
the field. A large acreage of grain
was harvested, with some extra heavy
yields. Chief among these was the
j. H. Cochrane farm west of Harvard,
where a twenty-acre field of oats
yielded 2090 bushels of grain, while
oats on the farms of P "A. David, H.
w. Garfield and Frank A. Cochrane,
each averaged more than seventy bu-
shells per acre. A very small percent
age of the yields threshed yielded un-
der sixty-bushel average. The
wheat crop was also very good, sew
eral fields going over a forty-bushel
average. In the different varieties Of
what Forty Fold had strong lead,
with Marquis, Bluestem, and Red
Russian following in the order named
Some smut was encountered. but no
thing of a serious nature. A larger
acreage of peas was also harvested
than in former years and these also
gave good yields.
Among the harvest yields OF grain
came from reclaimed cut-over land,
which has been cleared of stumps and
made ready for the plow during re-
cent years, which proves beyond
doubt what the upper Palouse river
and it's tributaries can be made to
produce when the timber is gone.
