FEATURE FAIR
AT RlVERSI D {
Association Plans Novel
and Realistic Oasis
Palm Exhibit

An international date show will
be one of the big features of the
Southern California fair at River
side this fall. Arrangements have
been made by the fair association
with the leading date growers OF
the Coachella Valley for a compre-
hensive exhibit or practically all
commercial packs of dates and the
Festival of Dates association, which
put on such and excellent show at
Indio two years ago, IS co-operat-
ing very closely with the Southern
California Fair association this
year in q full reproduction Of this
show, together with a number of
additional features. Representa-
tives of the United States depart
ment of agriculture will also assist
in this demonstration.
The date industry in the United
States is comparatively new, aud
the general public know very little
of the habits of this interesting
fruit producing palm, or the me-
thods used in its culture. It is the
purpose of the committee in charge
of this show to depict in demon
strational form the History of the
date culture in the United States
from first experimentation to the
present time; to show the methods
employed in propagation and cult
walton, and also the process used in
handling and packing the fruit.
The date palm lends itself very
completely to decorative uses and
it is the purpose of the committee
to. use the date as the decorative
motif in the entire fair, and espe-
cially will they work into the date
show an air Of the desert, bringing
to us in demonstrations form Nold
country methods, which appear to
us primitive, of handling the dates.
Arabs will be there in person, with
their, camels and trappings, the. at
tendants will be in costumes of the
old world and the date show will be
in the form of an oasis.
Practically every grower and
packer of dates, not only in Coach
ella valley but in Imperial valley
and Arizona, and wherever dates
are commercially handled, will par
ticipate and his pack will be shown.
The date is developing very rap
idly into one of our leading indus
tries. 1t is unique and extremely
interesting and this date show will
be q revelation to many persons.

CHEVROLET TO
DOUBLE OUTPUT
in CALIFORNIA
Plans Approved For Big
Construction Program
at Oakland

The MeDearm0n company, ,mpe-
rial county, Cadillac and Chevrolet
distributors has received advices
from the Chevrolet Motor company
of California, that plans have been
completed for very materially in
ereasing the capacity of the Oak
land Chevrolet plant.
Early last summer, in anticipa
tion of the bringing out of the
present popular superior models, the
plant was rearranged, at consider
able expense, so as to furnish a
maximum daily production of 250
ears. Meanwhile another large
building has been completed, in
which Fisher closed ear bodies are
now being built exclusively for
Chevrolet.
Officials sof the company an
nounce, however, that the demand
for their product upon the Pacific
coast has so far exceeded their abil-
ity to produce, that it has been
definitely decided to very material
lv increase capacity, and plans have
already been drawn and approved
for large additions to the present
factory buildings, which it is hoped
may be completed shortly after the
first of the year, and which should
then yield a production of from $50
to 400 cars day.
When this building program is
completed, employment will be offer
ed to many additional men.

Cub Chief Sore
Over Bad Deal
With L. A. Club
by United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Aug. IS. - The
usual conflict that has marked the
relationship of major and minor
baseball leagues is apparent be
tween the Los Angeles club and the
Chicago clubs, which are affiliated
financially, according to Charles
Patrick, Angel president.
The trouble is the outgrowth of
the sale of Nick Dumovich, former
crack Angel southpaw, to the Cubs.
William Veeck, Cub president, feels
that he has been swindled, accord
ing to Patrick.
For every player Chicago took
from us, we were to receive $l5, 900,
said Patrick. That, is what we got
for Nick! Veeck sent us Walter
Golvin, for whom we paid $2500,
which is also the agreement.
When Grimes was injured, Veeck
wanted Golvin back. We asked
for our $4,000 and we met with a
refusal. Veeck wired that ~Golvin
was worth $500 to him and no
more. Therefore we kept Golvin.
Angered over what he deems onr
bad faith, Veeck announced his
5000 shares in 'thc Los Angeles
club were for sale. I am going to
buy them and incidentally try to
get $4,000 shares, which will give
me Il majority interest in the local
club.
"I have always been opposed to
a working agreement beteen major
and minor league clubs. 1t doesn I
work out. Veeck believes he has
| been buncoed," although the
agreement was satisfactory to him
when it was instituted between the
| two clubs.
. Dumovich, over whom Veeck is
said to have "peeve" hasn T
performed well for the Cubs this
year, generally lasting only ono OF
two innings before the opposition
I bombards him out.

BREED TRAFFIC
OFFICERS LAW
Is EXPLAINED
Chief of State Bureau
Outlines Powers I'm
der New Act

Reports from boards of super.
visors indicate twothirds of the
counties of the state, and possibly
more will accept the traffic officer
provisions of the motor vehicle act
of 1928, according to Will II.
Marsh, chief of the division of
motor vehicles.
This bill, which is effective Aug
iust 81, prosides that boards of
supervisors may submit a list of
those deemed desirable to serve
their respective counties, from which
list the chief of the division makes
the appointments.
Much misinformation has been
given the public in reference to
what the Breed bill is alleged to
provide. Many newspapers have
published articles to the effect that
the chief of the division could at
will name traffic officer and de-
duet his salary in any amount he
might deem advisable; that he had
power to move them about from
one county to another; that he
could name men from one county to
work in another; or, i'll fact, ar
bitrarilv build up traffic machine
according to his own ideas. and with
little or no respect for the wishes
of the people or their representa-
tives. sH4.
Challenges Statements
These statements, however, are
far from the truth, and in no wise
conform to the wording of the
Breed bill, The bill in simple Ian
guage gives the chief of the division
power to name only upon submission
of names, and gives him supervisory
capacity over duties of those so
named, each of whom must serve
the counties from which they are
selected, and by whom they are to
be paid, out of the portion of the
receipts of the motor vehicle fund
apportioned to their respective
counties.
Much has been published con
cerning the opinion of District At
tornev George R. Lovejoy of Fres-
no, who announces with much vehe-
mence that the traffic officer
provision of the Breed bill is un-
constitutional. In direct contra
vention to the opinion expressed by
Lovejoy, however, is that of At
torney General United States Webb
who, with equal vigor, is willing
to defend this provision of the act.
He backs his opinion with refer
ence to numerous decisions, and
states that he is not at all fear
full of the outcome should Lovejoy
| determine to take the matter into
! the courts.
/ Counties Favored Act
The traffic provision of the Breed
bill was placed therein at the be-
hest of representatives of boards
| of supervisors and other interest
| ed in the enforcement of the motor
! vehicle act, after the supreme court
| had decided that it was unlawful
for the counties of the state, un-
der the present government act to
employ traffic Officers.
Thus far San Diego, San Bernar-
dino, Riverside, Stanislaus, Yolo'
and Sonoma counties have submit-

gasoline. And just as poor coal
leaves an ash, poor gasoline leaves
a residue which doesn't burn.
Trouble From Poor Gas
" So you not only ruin your cylin-

from a fuel that leaves no residue
to drop down, but you run the risk
of decreasing the efficiency of your
lubricating oil to the point where
bearings commence to burn out. All

important Improvements
Announce

Dodge Brothers have not simply
brought out a complete new line of
motor cars. They have, done some
thing infinitely wiser and better
than that.
They have brought new beauty,
new riding ease and new mechani-
cal perfection to the product on
which their reputation as builders
has been founded.
They have built better and a
more desirable line of motor cars
vet basically and fundamentally
the identity of their product re-
mains the same.
The same sturdy engine is under
the hood; the same dependable
chassis, improved in numberless de-
tails, underlies the body.
But the rear springs-now under
slung-have been materially length
ened. The Wheelbase, too, is longer,
and the combined result is a notable
Improvement in riding qualities.

Cincinnati March 31.-Two of the Reds young pitchers were to be given their first big test today when they go in against Philadelphia Athletics at Montgomery. Ala, dispatches stat ed. Manager Moran announced he would start Jim Roberts and finish with Karl Schnell.
 Correspondents accompanying the Reds made no mention of a report in circulation in Cincinnati indicating that the Rube Benton controversy would be revived by six National league presidents as soon as the pitch CTS contract was officially promulgat- ed" by President Heydler
 The rumor persisted in Cincinnati however objection to Benton it was said, would be based upon the con- tention that his presence in the Ma tional league was undesirable and would result in the protesting of all games in which he pitched against any of the six clubs
 All officials of the Cincinnati club were out of the city

I will stack my pitchers up against any other staff in the American league. The pitching staff of the Yankees stand out It boasts of five 1ligh-class pitchers with several mighty good men in reserve. Other clubs are fortunate if they have a couple of star twiriers.
 Regardless of the showing made in the series last year, the Yankees are club with much power and great pitching. I had great club in 1914 and it lost world series in four straight games.
 "i am making no predictions. On second thought I want to make just one. The Athletics will not finish last in 1928 Those days of cellar championships are over forever. I hope.
 We finished seventh last sea son. hope for and expect improvement the coming season. Sixth place would be one notch higher, fifth place de- cided improvement. @
 "'rhe Athletics are on the way to better things. No longer do they in- tend 10 be the door-mat for the rest of the American league.
 We don't expect to win the Am erican league pennant in 1923, but we do expect to have lot to say as to who will win it''

The addition of one ball player often makes ball club. Connie Mack is hopeful that Sammy Hale will sup ply the winning punch to his team.
 "A winning ball club must have good infield," says Mack. T am hopeful that Hale at third will end my worries.
 You can't build a major league ball club over night. I have experi- mented with hundreds of players since 1914. For the first time l have the feeling that most of my worries are over.
 ! My club will stand up well under a man-to- -man comparison. It is young and ambitious. There are no cliques. It is one happy family, every player being anxious to better our showing of last year.
 With me, as with every other big league manager, pitching is the big thing. If my club gets pitching it will make trouble for any other club in the league.
 My pitching should be good enough to make us dangerous. The stuff is there if the boys will come through with it. However. I have no more worries on that score than a half dozen other managers
