MOTOR TRAVEL
IN SOUTHWEST
SHOWS INCREASE

Motor travel on the southern and
western highways of the United
States has increased at a tremendous
rate within the past few months,
primarily due to the Florida boom
and the desire of motorists to travel
to new surroundings, according to
4. B. Hurley of Lakeland, Florida,
formerly of this city, who is visiting
friends in this section.
The apparent tendency of these
travellers is to move continually with
no definite destination in view, as
far as one can judge.
Hurley, business man of the
boom state, who has just made the
trip to Arizona overland, said that
hotel managers along the route de-
clared that in recent months they
had been unable to care for the tour
ist travel and in many cases have
been forced to turn away numerous
applicants for a room overnight
The increasing numbers of auto
mobiles, improved highways, and the
acquiring of more money by residents
of small towns, is believed by Hurley
to be the chief reason for the unus-
ually heavy motor travel. Nova
DAYS, when man who has resided
in a small town, gets a little money
he buys a car and then has desire
to set out for new country, which ne
and his forefathers were Denied
Hurley said "Of course, hundreds
have been invading California for the
past several years but this new wave
of motor travel does not seem to
have any single objective point, al
though many are going to Florida.
1t is simply a case of people going
somewhere, anywhere, just so they
are going"
Hurley declared business conditions
building and real estate in Florida to
be at such a frenzied height as to be
unbelievable. Everybody and his
brother are selling real estate, and
the competition is so keen that it is
really getting to be difficult work,
the visitor averred. "People in large
numbers have forsaken almost every
other occupation to enter the land
selling game, even lawyers and doc
tors, of whom there is a real search
ty in the state
"The railroads entering Florida are
able to handle but about fourth OF
the huge freight business and they
have placed an embargo on num-
ber of articles from time to time to
get caught up on their back orders
For example, carloads of automobiles
in many cases are shipped to Geor-
gia, a neighboring state, and from
there driven into Florida, otherwise
it might be weeks before they would
reach the dealers Hurley concluded.

Sustained Prosperity
of Steel Industry Is
Shown by Late Report
fBy Dispatcn A. P. Wire)


NEW YORK, Jan. The sus-
tanned prosperity of the steel indus
TRY throughout 1925 was reflected
today in the final quarters report
of the United States Steel corpora
28O465 for the period brought the
years aggregate to more than $780,
100000. This represents gain OF
about $12,OO0,OO0 over 1924 earnings.
Directors of the corporation author
lied the usual extra dividend of so
cents on the common shares, thereby
dispelling rumors of an increased
distribution at this time. The regu
lar quarterly payments OF $1.25 on
the common and $1.75 on the pre-
ferred shares also were declared
From the corporations surplus of
S29,632,442 after the payment Of all
dividends, an appropriation of $25,-
600, 900 was voted for additions, nm
provements and betterments to plants
and properties, leaving a balance at
the end of the year of $4,632,442.
In the two preceding years the an
nual appropriation for plant improves
ments amounted to only $20,0OO,O 600.
The narrow range of the quarterly
earnings attested to the stability or
the company's operations throughout
the year. Beginning with $50, ,8S2,992
in the first quarter the corporation
expanded its profits to $42, ,400,4
in the third, with only a slight fall
ing off in the final three months.
Earnings for the corresponding quar-
ter of 1924. totaled $3O,762,23l.

OAKLAND, Calf, Jan. 2c.--"Miss

again and then shrugged her should
ers.
"Piffle,'' said she. "Tm not so
homely as Louis Jacobs would have
you think"
Whereupon Miss Faye Lanphier
hired an attorney and took a train
for New York where she has a the
atridal engagement, The attorney
must defend the girls beauty against
the legal assaults of Jacobs, who
says that his ability as a publicity
agent and not Miss Lanphier's beauty,
made her Miss America"
He wants $50O0-half of what he
says Miss Lanphier has earned since
winning the title. ~

"Why," said Jacobs in effect, chow
could she have won the title with
out my help when her hips are out
of line. her nostrils aren't mates
her shoulders are too boyish, and
her teeth overlap"
Moreover, she lied to the judges
about her measurements and taen
dazzled them with her smile SO they
forgot to check up"
"Fiddlesticks," answered Miss Amer
lea, peeping into the mirror again;
"Of course, 1 smiled at the judges
but / didn't lie about my measure
ments and, what's more important,
1 never hired Jacobs as my publicity
agent"
