Los ANGELES, Nov. S.-The
Los Angeles Speedway was under
different ownership 5oday, having
been purchased from the Speedway
association by local realty interests
for a price said to be $2,000,000.
The sale will not interfere with
the Thanksgiving and Washington s
Birthday racing dates it was an
nounced. Following these races the
track and stands will be dismantled
and taken away by the Speedway
association, as they were not in
cluded in the deal.
The realty company is reported
to have purchased the property for
speculative purposes as it is located
in the fashionable Beverly Hills
district which is rapidly expanding
and gaining in realty values.
Speedway officials said h @
track would be rebuilt on some less
valuable location.

GO-TO-CHURCH SUNDAY

Next Sunday, Armistice Day, is the fifth anniver-
sary OF the sencing guns that spewed death and des
olatlon from their boodhrsty mouths for four long
years in Europe.
1t is always day Tor deep meditation and earnest
thought.
Coming as it does this year on Sunday an unusual
opportunity will be afforded pupits throughout the
land to mark the spirit of the day and honor those
who gave their all that democracy might survive.
In Ell Centre, the occasion has crystallized itself
into Go-to-church' movement that in itself is high
ly significant.
Members of the Chamber of Commerce, Rotary
Club American Legion and other local organizations,
as we'll as club women have pledged themselves to at
tend some church next Sunday and each is urged
to prevail upon his her neighbors to do likewise
Surely this is movement in which should all
Joln whether we belong to church not There is
no more propitious day in all the year to to church
than Armistlce Day. If every man, woman and child
in Ell Centre were to go to church next Sunday the
beneficial results would be ncalculable and local
ministers would be encouraged and heartened for
newed activities.
We here in Ell Centre are not as church going
people we should be. 1t may surprise many to know
that all told, the united church membership in this
town of approximately 1000 persons is only 1000 Of
course many more than this attend church-some
spasmodically, regulary-but this represents
the earnest working members who be relied upon
for constant support.
This is not very flattering condition to say the
least. Business men quick to recognize the fact
that church attendance makes for the moral fiber of
the community and provides a staunch background
against which the assaults of evil forces futile.
The fact remains that too many of us have time
for almost everything under the except church
ing. -
We prone to seize upon the slightest pretext
for avoiding for religious duties-yet
after all is said and done just how long could
list without the Creator and His works? He is the
fundamental principle that makes existence possible
yet many of go about various pursuits firmly
entrenched in the belief that ourselves, the
power behind the many activities and achievements
all about sf*
If going to church next Sunday does nothing
than jerk of back to the realization that I'VE
of ourselves nothing the go-to-church-movement
will not have been in vain.
Let every one of US plan to be at church next
Sunday not alone for the benefit will derive nor
the homage pay to departed heroes but for
the purpose, WE'LL of lending encouragement to the
various ministers in midst who labor long and
faithfully. And having made the good start, why not
keep it up and go to church So Sundays during the
year instead of one?

FAKE FARMERS

Some cities are being warned of new peril. 1t is
the fake farmer" who about this time of year. dons
long boots and overalls and appears with wagon or
truck dispensing farm produce. Often he is mere
huckster, neither bringing produce direct from the
farm giving good, honest farm weight and meas
1t is not always possible for the city-bred person
to distinguish and it is not always necessary. There
are plenty of honest hucksters and they have right
to make living, though hardly right to pose as
farmers when they are not. The buyer can protect
himself by scrutinizng carefully the wares offered
and seeing that he gets full weight.
In case of doubt the city family usually has
safe alternative. That is, to buy the stuff from It's
regular grocer who will charge little If any more than
the street dealer and be better depended on Tor
quality and full measure.

Steel Company
Reports On Its
Safety Campaign

New York, Feb. 1.-The fact that
the United States Steel Corporation
has spent more than $lOS,000,O0O for
safety. sanitation, welfare and PEN
sions during the last ten years, and
that through expenditures of more
than 100000 for accident preven-
ton the Corporation has saved 35.313
men from death or serious injury
No. 8 which has just been issued by
Charles l.. Close. Manager of the
Bureau of Safety, Sanitation and
Welfare of tho Corporation.
A chart of the year by year trend
of the accident rate per 1000 en-
ployees shows that, taking the plants
of all the subsidiary companies as
whole, the rate for serious accidents
has decreased $1,000 since 1906
when the Bureau Of Safety. Santa
ton and Welfare was organized.
Since 1912 the rate for all accidents
has been decreased 71.41rt. The lat
ter reduction in the accident rate,
the report says. means that 1922
men have been saved from injury
since 1912.
During the early part of last year,
the report says, a total of 1856 plants,
mines, and other properties with an
average employment of $3.50 men
went through an entire month with
out a single disabling accident, and
some of these plants were operated
from two to six months without a
single injury to a workman.
Another chart in Mr.. Closes report
analysiZes the causes of 257,357 ac-
cidents which have occurred in the
plants of the United States Steel
Corporation over a long period of
time. This shows that. eliminating
the accidents involving overhead
cranes, only 4.SS percent of the ac-
cidents shown on the chart were due
to machinery causes. The report
then says: while doubtless this
very low percentage is the result
of the protection afforded by the in
stallation of mechanical safeguards,
a study of the chart is Immediately
convincing that accidents cannot be
eliminated through physical correc-
tive measures alone. 1t will be noted
that hand labor was responsible for
4404 percent. or nearly one half, of
all these accidents. the majority of
which could not possibly have been
prevented by the use of mechanical
safety devices and appliances, but
We're due to carelessness and the
failure of the workmen to observe
simple precautions conducive to
