VAST SEA OF
FISH OFF THE
SHORES OF SD.

SAN DIEGO, July 22.-EnOrmous
schools of albacore and tuna, sea
literally alive with fish, are report
ed on the banks extending over an
area GO miles southwark from the
Coronado islands an dfrom 10 to 80
miles to the westward.
Officers of the San Diego Fish
Packers association announced that
never in the history of Southern
California s tuna industry have alba
core and tuna run in greater num-
bers than during the period from
June 90 to July and from July 10
to the present.
An idea of the tremendous
amount of "chicken of the sea- -
pouring into San Diego canneries
from the banks may be gauged by
the fact that local cannery men de-
clared they have packed, and
shipped more tuna in the last three
weeks than during the entire sea-
son of 1928.
Fishermen operating under con-
tract are being paid 1920 for the
longfins delivered on the Point
Iona bargcs or at the canncry
wharves.. Independent fishermen
get from 1920 to $240 Il ton for
their catches.
Conservative estimates of the
1924 pack TO date place the value
at more. than $l,000,000.

We are all familiar with the in
junction 'Play the Game"
The National game suggests some
principles which operate in every suc-
cessful business enterprise in America.
The Ninth Anniversary Bargain Base
ment Sale which is compelling atten-
ton at The Palais Royal this week is
an excellent illustration of what we
mean.
It is a we'll known fact that BASE
BALL can never be played success
fully by any one man, whether he be
the Pitcher or the Manager. 1t takes
the whole team to win the game.
Just so in successful merchandise
ing. The whole team of executives,
buyers, floor managers, and sales
people have been cooperating to make
this sale complete success.
BASEBALL fans are also familiar
with the fact that "sacrifce hit" is
about the most prosaic and often the
most necessary feature in winning
the game Most players would rather
"swat the ball'' for home run than
"sacrifce," and yet Sacrificing" is nee
essary to scoring.
The same thing is quite true in bus
mess. The merchant himself some
times sacrifices good share of his
profits in order to win the game for
his store. Small profits and many
sales will characterize the Anniver-
sary Basement Sale with results that
{ are expected to be satisfactory both
Z to The Palais Royal and the public
More games are won by "singles"
than by ''home runs"
Successful BASEBALL requires
the constant attention and direction
of trained authority. The Pitcher as
we'll as the Batter must obey the sig
mails of the Manager Failure to obey
instructions means defeat to the team
and disgrace to the offender.
The Palais Royal Basement is
fortunate in it's trained men and
women, who under the direction of
the Store Manager have given most
painstaking attention to the merchan-
disc and organization of the Anniver-
sary Sale. Consequently it is expected
that everything will move on with
despatch, order, and success.
Anyone who has either watched or
played game of baseball, knows that
it is almost impossible to over-esti-
mate the value of the crowd in win
ming games. The Palais Royal is for
tunate, not only in it's organization
and merchandise, but also in it's thou-
sands OF patrons who have found it to
their advantage to furnish the crowd
for the regular business as we'll as the
special sales of the store.
We fully expect that the Ninth An
niversary Sale will be an excellent
illustration of this fact.

DANCING RECITAL FOR SCHOOL FUND
Lakeview Workers To Pre- sent Attractive Pro-
 gram Saturday

Birmingham is known throughout the country for the grace of its dancers, and dance lovers will have an oppor- tunity to see another group to add to this fame Saturday, when the Lake view School Improvement association will present a dance recital by the Miles School of Dancing at the Phillips audi torium. There will be two perform ances, matinee and night, and reserva- tions may be made during the week.
 The association plans to present Birmingham one of the most interest ing dance programs it has ever en- joyed. The recital will be given in three scenes, and each is an exponent of grace in various forms of the dance.
 The first is the modern school. In this scene all of the 100 pupils of the Miles school will take part. They will show how the ballroom dances of to- day are executed properly.
 The second scene will be more ad- vanced work in interpretive and na- ture dancing. This group of dances is said to be particularly artistic in it's exposition of rhythm and grace by youngsters who are excellent examples Of training.
 The third scene is Oriental, and the dances will be performed by the grad uate pupils. There vii be solo and ballet numbers, concluding with charac- ter dances. This last group includes the famous figures of the old country, such as the tarantelle and others.
 The proceeds of the recital will go to the Lakeview School association to take care of its expenditures in the up- keep of school improvements. A large percentage of it goes to the mainte- nance of the school lunch room.

If I just had one more year to live I would just continue to live as am now living, as though each day were to be my last.
 If I had ever done fellow being an injury I would make reparati0n, if it were possible, and if not possible, I would pray to & just God for mercy.
 1 would live according to the Golden Rule, do unto others as would have them do unto me, and I would not judge any one lest I also be judged.
 I would put my affairs in order just as though were going on a journey, for indeed death is only journey from this, world to another, a better one, we hope,
 I would try to live my last year on earth in such a way that the world would be better for my having lived in it and would ever try to follow the meek and lowly Savior, who, though oft-times was reviled, yet did not re- vile again.
 And if I were not a Christian, I would make haste and get right with God before it were too late for this life

 "If I had but one year to live, what would I do, what view have l of life, what hope have for the beyond, what would I call perfect readiness for the gates of death?

 Giving my help, as much as possi- ble,, for me to do, for every man and woman, to show the real, true, man and womanhood of their life. To know that by my influence had caused somebody to see the brighter side of life the sweet passage my dear mother used to repeat to me over and over, and yet fingers in my memories:
 "We should work, as if we thought we'd live a hundred years, and live each. day as though we die tomorrow" Who can tell?
 Eachs morning with the break of day we. get up with the wonderful feel ing of life in us. Going to work with the bright hopes, planning for the flu ture, planning ever ahead, working for the goal. we have so much desired all our lives. For everybody has a de- 
 long to see the day when they can say, q have, conquered, I have patiently waited, I have worked, hoped and at last my 1ife's desire is to be realized" After we have lived the day through, think. of, the many little things that have happened, consider all, and see if you would be more kind, or speak friendly word of advice where it would have been so much appreciated. Per haps it would make such an impression that it would never be forgotten, that it will make people stop and think at your ideas and wonder. After all give your ideas, hear theirs, and take them, think about them, study them from all sides, sand in every way do what you think best. Knowing that life was fleefing, and time was short. l would like the calm, unhorrified life, as every day knowing few the opportunities. But do the very best know how to fill the short time with helping others to be happy, and by doing so be happy myself.'
