Auto Tourists to South California
Spendin" Gigantic Amounts,
lvo Per Cent Gain in Year

Will auto touring travel out-rank
the movies as a leading Southern
California industry?'
Figures just issued by the Auto
Club of Southern California show
that the motor ear visitors will net
the southern counties of the state
approximately $148,000,000 this
year!
An official check on trans-con-
tinental auto travel kept by the
quarantine station of the Depart
ment of Agriculture at Blythe has
been used. as a basis or comparison
for estimates of the volume of travel
over all routes into the southern
part of California. On this basis
the expenditure of motor car tour
lists is discovered.
Figures recently issued by the
auto club show that $4,000 people
will arrive in this section of Amer
lea this year. The organization 8
touring bureau estimates that the
average length of visit for each
person is sixty days. The av-
erage expenditure of eac h
person per day in California is $500.
Next year, the "auto touring indus
try" will amount to approximately
s240,0O0,O0O
For the entire state this wear the
total expenditure will reach $780,,
100000. AS Southern California is
essentially the winter resort of the
entire west, it is during the winter
that the most money is spent here
by visitors, and that is why the
club allots $148,000, 900 out of a
total of $2O0,0O0,000 to the southern
counties.
A careful check on the motoring
parties arriving i'll the state oven
the long, long trails shows that the
average car carries four passengers
and there are l9,500 cars arriving
each month throughout the year

This is to be fascinating Fall
for milady, who would be up to the
minute in dress. And bit of win
dow shopping done in our own city,
to say nothing of a closer investiga-
tion of some of the -theimin'
ute creations already displayed in
the cases, will convince those who
known fine styles and values, that
shopping outside of Ell Centre is
quite unnecessary.
Costumes for the cool and cooler
weather are now available for Sc
lection. If one would be strictly in
style we suggest for her one of the
new coat dresses which the B. Sal
ONION Company is featuring.
What woman does not love to
know, when considering her ward
robe, as whole, that she has some
thing which is perfectly suitable
for every oecasions Many women
can have something charming for
every sort of event, if they will
but consider their needs carefully,
and purchase to avoid duplication.
A wardrobe planned in this way is,
to its fair owner, a veritable ''joy
forever" and, if desire and means
coincide, can easily be expanded in
to more elaborate grouping of
beautiful garments.
But it is for the woman who can
choose but one costume for street
and informal winter afternoon wear,
that we especially recommend the
chic coat-dress. Strictly tailored,
opening down the side front from
neck to hem, and worn over simple
costume slip, these garments ewill
appeal to those who desire to dress
quickly and smartly. just slip one
on like a coat, and you are ready to
go. &
One particularly handsome model.
featured at Salomon s, is made of
devet de laine in a taupe shade. The
skirt is made in four ripping tiers.
This model may be worn with or
without marrow belt. Another
lovely creation which will be covet-
ed by all who see it is of navy
blue, elaborately trimmed with
braided silk soutache in the new
Briganze blue.
What Sort Of a Hat?
Then there is the hat problem for

more during some months than
others, but hitting around the aver
age.
Some of the trans-continental
routes carry the bulk of their
travel in the winter and some of
them in the summer, depending up
on their geographical location. = The
two extremes are divided between
the Bankhead Highway through the
very southern states. and routes
paralleling the Canadian border to
the north.
1t is predicted that automobile
travel will increase 10 per cent
from eastern points to Southern
California next year, and perhaps
more than this durino the year fol-
lowing, with the rapid improvement
of highway conditions.

new PRICE CUT
ON OVERLANDS
CAUSES FUR0RE

Sweeping price reductions on all
Overland models were announced re-
Gently by c. S. Cotton, branch man
ager of the Overland Company.
The first intimation of this sig
nificant event in automotive circles
was contained in wire. sent Cotton
September 6, which he released at
once for publication.
Little information has been OBJ
tained so far with the exception of
the fact that the price cut has be-
come effective and the amount each
model has been reduced, is mention
ed.
The new Overland touring car
now sells for less than 500 at the
factory, the roadster the same, the
Red Bird is under $500, the coupe
and sedan both less than $500, and
the stripped chassis below $400.
Cotton said this move upon the
part of the Willys-Overland plant
has created literal furore not
only among motoring fans, but
among automobile officialdom.

OVER A MILLION
FOR VALLEY in
MILO MAIZE CROP

Another of Imperial Valleys i'm
portant crops will begin to move
off as cooler weather comes ON and
the milo maize harvest begins, ac-
cording to County Horticultural
Commissioner B. A. Harrigan, who
estimates that the total output for
the valley will be around $4,000
tons.
Harvesting of this crop can safe
'ly be done up to the middle of Nov
ember but few of the valley ranch
ers have already begun prepara-
tiOns to move their crop.
Average milo yield per acre in
this region IS as high as three quar-
ters of ton. Prices last year were
somewhere in the neighbOrhood of
$50 ton, making the crop value
well over million dollars. 1t is
anticipated that this years prices
will run even higher, bringing a
gratifying return to growers.

The Women S Section
STORES HERE ABOUND WITH D4SHING
NEW MODES FOR FALL, ALLURING
BOTH AS TO PRICE AND SlfARTNESS

milady S consideration, Small hats
sharply dropping, brimless or at
most with very marrow brim are
extremely popular, and are especial
ly designed to accentuate the smart
ness of those who have followed
Dame Fashion s decree and are
wearing the King Tut or French
bob hair cut.
The Varney Company is showing
for early fall a number of alluring
little shapes in felts with simple
tailored trimming, or soft duvetines.
For sport or street wear these snap
py models in various shades of
brown-with the sandalwood and
golden hues especially favored
will be very good. And here and
there, like saucy bird fitting
through n sombre wood, will be seen
the flashing vividness of a bright
red hat. Not henna, or brick, or
crimson just genuinely and flam-
ingly red, which can be so gay and
attractive.
As a novelty, the Varney Com
pany is featuring tiny, close fit
ting Chinese model of velvet in the
new fall shade. This should be
particularly good on a bobbed
haired brunette. TRIMMED with ex-
quisite, wee ornaments in blues and
reds, and with a plated gold braid,
beginning. in wee rosette at the
very top of the crown, and thence
falling down the back below the
waist, this golden "cue,'' will
make the very mandarin jealous of
their honors.
Then consider the coat, Many at
tractive models will be shown for
sport and street wear But it is
especially about the new dress coat
that we want to tell you now. At
the King -Johnso nCompany you may
see them in all their glorious smart
ness.
Goats Are ''Flarey''
The new coats are long, and will
cover the dress completely. Many
of the new models will come within
eight inches of the floor. Flare
skirts which ripple gracefully, bell
sleeves with q flare to match, and
still the low waist line, are among
the new marks of fashion.

JEWETT SALES
INCREASE 27O
PCT. IN YEAR

DETROIT. Mich, sept. 10
Jewett sales for the first six months
in 1923 showed 270 percent in
crease over the same period of 1929,
according to +. l.. Moore, Jewett,
agent in the valley.
The success of the Jewett was as
sured almost from the day it was
first announced at the 1922 New
York Automobile Show says =. l..
Moore, At that time, he said, the
Jewett attracted more interest than
any other medium priced motor car
at the show.
" However,. we did not contem-
plate any such growth in sales as
has been shown by this automo-
bile,' said Mr.. Jewett. "Consid-
ering that we had several models
of the lighter Paige still in produc-
tion in the early part of 1922, we
thought that our Jewett production
for that period might be increased
several thousand on elimination of
the light models of the Paige line.
But we did not expect we soon
would be building more than 200
Jewetts daily and planning on a
production of 500 daily in 1924
''With the constant increase in
factory efficiency, we expect to
build many more Jewetts in the last
six months of 1923 than 22,093-the
production for thief irst six months.
December of this year will prob
ably see production started in cur
new Jewett plant, now in course of
production for the first six months

machinery installation could be un-
dertaken in November. -
