AUTO CLUB HAS
ISSUED FOLDER
\ ON CAL. CAMPING

When the call of the open road
sounds from the north in the spring
Southern California motorists and
visiting tourists will find that their
desires have been anticipated by the
Automobile Club of Southern Cali
fornia. Just from the press is a
new booklet of nearly 100 pages en-
titled "Camp Grounds of Califor
MIA and along the Pacific Highway
from San Diego to Vancouver.
The new compendium of usefr'
information to autoists was compil-
ed by the outing bureau of the auto
club, which has to do with camping
fishing, hunting, swimming, yacht
ing and golfing information. The
booklet is pocket size, contains an
index and maps of the entire Paci-
fie coast, distances to different
points. and list of camp grounds
in each city along the route touche,
i'll addition to equipment of camp
grounds listed and prices noted.
There is also n fund of useful in
formation for the amateur camper,
few rules for sportsmen, warnings
about fires, and a quantity of use
full hints.
That this booklet will find n wei.
come among Southern California
motorists is indicated by the fact
that more than 100000 persons
visited the 10 national forests dur
ing 1923. Three fourths are exclu-
sive of persons visiting the nation
al parks.

the railroads have been spending
at the rate Of q billion dollars q
year for repairs and equipment.
Roads making more than the
return allowed under the new rul-
ing will be induced to do cne Of
two things. They will either plow
the surplus back into permanent
improvements, such as better ter
mlnal facilities, or absorb weaker
roads, wherever such merger will
be Of future advantage. Either way
the bonds of the stronger roads are
strengthened. In one case actual
property is improved and tangible
security increased. In the other,
competitive advantage and increas-
ed future earning power is gained.
Such developments together with
the new theory of the transporta-
tion act argue we'll for the junior
bonds of the sounder roads. But
l do not see where either the new
ruling or its anticipated effects
will help rail bonds already in
the highly speculative group. The
bankrupt road is still bankrupt un-
der the new ruling. 1t is the sol
vent road in need of funds to fin
ance current operations and perma.
nent improvements that will be
helped most. -
Mr.. Babson finds that recent
strength in railroad bonds is re-
Fleeing heavy buying by European
investors who want to put their
money in something American for
greater safety and who look upon
our railroads as an ideal invest
ment.
"Probable Developments during
1924 concluded the statistician,
indicate slightly lower rates and
better service to the public; pos
sibly smaller but better distributed
Profits for the roads; and strong
er position for the vast majority
of investors holding rail d
bonds.D

FORGET CRLJDCES
QUIT KNOC KIN 6
ALL COMPETITORS"
So Says Sales Manager OF
Chevrolet Dealers
For Valley

The following is part of sales
talk given recently by o. T.. Per
kins, sales manager for the Rob
ertson Motor Co., Chevrolet dealers
for the Imperial Valley.
"Whcn you 90 out and try to
sell q prospect and he lies to you
and tells you that he is going to
buy your car, you still have no rea-
son for holding q grudga against
that man when he buys another car.
l want every man who sells cars
for this concern to remember that
when he misses Il sale he is not
through with his prospect. lie must
go back and see that prospect
again, thank him for the time he
gave you to show him our car, and
congratulate him on getting his
moneys worth in the car that he
did buy
In respect to the organization,
Mr.. Perkins further said: "When
YOU go out to sell cars, remember
that you are representing the whole
organization Of the Robertson Mo
tor Co. Remember that Robertson s
does not hold u grudge III the
world. We, therefore, expect you
to forget any private grudges that
you may have.
Never Knock Competitors
Remember while you are with
us that you are not to knock the
goods of any competitor nor are you
TO knock any competitor. 1t is q
fact that Robertson's s service is the
equal of any of the valley. Tell
your prospect that We give as good
service as any one. If a single one
of you makes Il bad impression, it
will be the entire sales force more
time to correct it, speaking in the
appreciate, than it did you to make
il. We are not only selling the
ears that are on our floor, nor the
tires in our racks, nor the services
of the repair shop, nor parts, but
we are, also, selling the Robertson
Motor Company, to the citizens Of
the valley.
We are selling them the idea thar
we do business in such n way thai
they can well expect us to be in th
game ten years from now; possibly
25 years or so years. AS long a
they have anything that we have
sold them, they can expect to ge
justice and fair dealing, because WI
will right on our corner of 'auto

Employers Urged
To Expedite Tax
Income Fill n g s

Merchants and employers were
urged yesterday by Collector of
Internal Revenue Rex B. Goodcell
to be prompt in furnishing their
employees with slips showing the
sums which have been paid the
latter for wages, salaries and
bonuses, during 1928.
The filing of thousands of re-
turns is being delayed because en-
ployes have not been furnished TINS
information.
Collector Goodcell pointed out
that delay in placing this informa-
ton in the hands of employees
would result in costing business
men much loss of the employees
time, as late filing of returns
would compel employees to stand in
line at the revenue office of the
expense of the merchants.

Supreme Court Railroad Decision
Tends to Send Stock Up, Rates
Downward, and Improve Service

WELLESLEY HILLS, Mass, &C.
A supreme court decision, rapid
increase III idle ears and rapid price
advances in some railroad bonds
during the last two weeks have
tended to create much confusion
regarding the railroad situation
and the probable fortune of the
individual roads during 1924. Since
we are all affected by some phase
of the railroads. activity-rates,
purchasing policy, dividends or
profits-Roger w. Babson's analy-
sis of the situation is of more than
passing interest. In a summary of
his investigation, issued today, the
statistician sees lighter traffic,
lower rates but better net results
for many of the railroads in 1924.
"Thc recent ruling by the su-
preme court on the recapture clause
of he transportation act changes
the interstate commerce commits
sion from u court Of appeals to q
board. of directors,' according to
Mr.. Babson. "The individual roads
are no longer independent UNITS
but parts of one great transporta-
tion system.
"General business activity in
1924 promises to continue about nor
m&l,-the Babsonchart shows acti-
witty 1T 5 per cent above normal
so there will be 10 great increase
in freight tonnage. Recent rapid
increases in idle car figures would
suggest that we now have plenty
of equipment and rolling stock to
handle present volume. There Is
certainly no need for further in
crease along these lines.
Expenditures Less
"R&ilroad rates, both freight and
passenger, should go no higher and
q few revisions downward may be
expected to the benefit of those af-
fccted. The improved condition re-
sulting from expenditures in 1928
will aid this. For the past IS months
