Fourteen million people, pursuing
happiness to the edge of the foam
flecked Pacific ocean, found their
Elysium at Venice, California, last
year. When the beaches are men
toned i'm Southern California the
mind s eve conjures up at once pic
ture of Venice, the perfect beach,
strewn with hundreds of thousands
of happy visitors.
North from the famous Venice
pier, supporting its great bazaar of
sparkling and exhilirating enter
tainment features, stretches the
matchless beach, shelving gradually
out beyond the line of the break
ers, on towards the horizon.
In the middle distance lie the fish
ing barges with roaring high power
ed motor speed boats carrying the
fishermen and women to the place
where they may sit in the shade of
comfortably equipped craft at
anchor in the right spot for good
sport.
Thousands of brightly colored
btdtH uHlDItIlUS sDIdlltT iHt SOiutii
sand with n strange configuration
of color. Everywhere fair women
and brave men, and the aged, bask-
ing in the sunshine and breathing
in the exhiliarating ozone, fill the
scene with a great pulsating theme
of human happiness like thread of
motif in some vast composition from
the hand of q virtuoso.
That is the light side of Venice,
the famous and ever progressive and
popular amusement resort of a land
where happiness is the clarion cry,
flung to the western world.
Behind this scene is the Venice
of lovely homes. The Venice that
has just commenced the proceedings
that will fill up the famous canals,
dug 90 years or so ago in a plan that
reproduced the ideals of that city
in the far Adriatic where romance
and beauty attract the whole world
The canal filling is a'powcrful mari;
of the virtue Of strong necessity
streets being demanded to give
an outlet for the fast growing de
mands of business III a wide awake
western city.

FORD RUNABOUT
IS FAVORED BY
YOUNG MOTORIST

With schools and colleges closed
and vacation time here, young folk
are getting out onto the road and
to all appearances thev seem to be
going in for motoring more than
ever before.
Any observing person can see it
in the traffic along the streets and
Oh the country highways, at the
picnics, in the parks, at the sum
mer resorts. The number of young
men and women driving ears is ev-
crywhcre showing a surprising in
crease.
Among these youthful motorists,
the small, light open ear sends to
have the preference by 4 wide mar
gin and the Ford runabout is by far
the most popular of all, Judging
from the number seen on the streets.
There are, Of course, q number of
reasons for this Ford popularity,
First Of all, the price is low. This
gives those in moderate circum.
stances an opportunity to enjoy a
car, while those of more means may
easily provide the younger members
of the family with runabout of
their own at a small outlay and thus
retain the higher priced ears for
use of others in the family.
Find Favor
Even before the vacation season
arrived there were indications that
Ford >runabouts had come into in
creased favor, for more of them
have appeared on the streets during
the early spring months this year
than in previous years. 1t is just
about impossible now to run onto
any streets or road without meeting
the familiar Ford runabont with top
down, more than likely in a Khaki
colorcd boot, with windwings on
the windshield and other accessories
according 10 the owners individual
taste.
Now with the hosts of young
men and young women home for
vacation the number Of Ford runa-
bont drivers promises to take de-
cided increase, Judging at least
from the carly season popularity of
the car.

adopting the name of the man she

THE RONn MARKET

New York, April 15.-Sustained strength of U. S. government and other high grade investment securt- lies featured today's bond trading. The liberty fourth lis moved into new high ground for the year and other issues held close to their 1925 top prices. as buying was stimulated by the returning ease in the money market. Little anxiety was displayed over the long delay in establishing a new ministry for France, and French bonds continued to show moderate improvement, Railroad issues were active, the demand in- cluding high grade liens such as Delaware & Hudson 5s and Illinois Central 5ks. Virginia Carolina ob- legations extended their recovery, selling at the highest prices of the
