practical by taking the students to

Auto Club Gets
Ready for Busy
Winter Sea S o n

If the southern counties of Cal
ifornia are to maintain q permanent
position as the foremost motoring
area in america, they must see that
their auto camps are in first class
condition for the winter!
Practically every community is
actively planning to make their in
dividual auto camp the very best
on the continent. Enlargements of
municipal camps are scheduled
throughout the southern part OF
the state. In Los Angeles an in
vestigation is being conducted at
the present time looking toward the
opening of a new and thoroughly
adequate camping ground. In many
other cities of the southern coun-
ties, new camps are planned.
Those communities which as yet
do not boast Of auto camps for the
convenience of motoring visitors
who wish to spend a short time In
the open, are looking toward the
establishment of such accomoda-
tions.
The auto club points out that
large numbers of the motoring par
ties which tour across the continent
have accustomed themselves to
camping out-ofdoors, and all along
The various roads they have found
splendid camps, so that they look
for equally as good sites, If not
better. in Southern California.
Should Be Convenient
1t is further pointed out that this
is form of hospitality which IS
nearer to the heart of California,
which advertises itself as an all
vear-outdoor country, than in per
haps any other part Of the United
States.
It has been found that the most
satisfactory auto camps are those
which are established nearest to the
various community centers, and an
effort is being made to select ioca'
tions which Will mean the greatest
convenience to the largest number
of motorists.

HOW TO MAKE GOOD TIMES

The recipe Tor prosperity in this country is very
simple 1t is limited at by Roger Babson in recent
lecture to debtors. 1t is PAY Your Bills"
That goes" for everybody. Business has slowed
down somewhat in the last few months from various :
causes. AS usual, people began to slow down in meet
ing their obligatons-no because they could not help
it, but because they wanted to hang onto their money
1t is natural thing to do, but unwise The psychol
ogy of it is bad and the practical results bad.
AS Mr. Babson points out "the little bills must be
paid before the big ones can be paid If consumers
pay the retailers then the retailers pay the whole
saers and the wholesalers pay the obbers and the
jobbers pay the manufacturers and the manufac-
urers pay the workmen and the bankers and pro-
ducers of materials Then the circle is complete,
and the is ready to flow around the circuatory
system again. like blood through the body.

Unity of Nations, Plea
LLOYD George, standing against a
background of American and Brit

the sunlight streaming through 4

of the nations in peace, as in war.

The war destroyed currency, eX-

If the nations were united, he
said, the problems would still be
difficult, but they could be solved
very much more rapidly.

at the city hall in response to the
official welcome. He received news
paper men on the Mauretania be-
fore landing and again at the Wal

the United Press luncheon.
Seated in a chair against the
wall, with 80 reporters packed about
him, he engaged in repartee with
them for about ten minutes. He had
pat answer for every question.
Embarrassing interrogations, such
as "'What do you think of prohibit

will the Baldwin ministry last 20
lie swept aside with bursts of hearty
laughter which was so contagious
that all joined in.
