MODERATE GAIN
IN SOUTHWEST'S
BUSINESS LINES

General business in the Pacific
Southwest territory registered a
moderate seasonal increase during
October. Most Of the indices used
to measure the volume Of trade show
an improvement over the low sum
mer point and the prevailing trend
toward lower levels of the previous
six months appears to have been ut
least temporarily halted. On the
whole, business activity is about
equal to or slightly above year
ago at this time.
This is the Introductory para
graph of the Monthly Summary OF
Conditions in the Pacific Southwest
territory compiled by the Research
Department of the Los Angeles
First National Trust & Savings
Bank and the First Securities Com
pany, and released for publication
today. The summary continues in
part:
Mercantile operations in particr-
laI have recorded Il substantial Ic-
covery from the dull summer peri
Cd, and both wholesale and depart
ment store sales have shown strong
increases during the past two
months. Industrial operations have
remained fairly satisfactory with u
good volume of output. Building
activity in Los Angeles continues
remarkably steady. New permits
issued show an increase in number
while aggregate valuation was about
equal to the average of recent
months.
Production of petroleum and
stocks of petroleum products both
have declined slightly. Automobile
sales are considerably less than q
year ago, although this is attributed
largely to the delay in the appear
ahce of the new Ford car. Unem-
ployment is rather large, with a sur
plus of labor reported in both ag-
ricultural and industrial lines.
Clearings Below Normal
October bank clearings i'll Los
Angeles registered Il 8 per cent gain
over September, about the usual
seasonal amunt, and were virtually
equal to the October, 1926, total.
Clearings are still somewhat below
normal, after allowing for an aver
age year-toycar growth. Total de-
posits and loans of Los Angeles
banks show a further tendency to
expand. Business failures were a
gain large in both number and @g-
gregate liabilities, although liabili-
ties were less than the record a
mount reported last month.
Harvesting of most of the i'm
portant crops is virtually completed.
The favorable weather conditions
have been welcome in view of the
lateness of the season. The rains
during the closing days of the month
may have slightly damaged grapes,
cotton and beans, but the loss has
been small compared with the i'm
r.ensc benefit to agriculture general
ly.

WHEN YOUR
HAND GOES TO
YOUR HEART

Difficulty in breathing and heart
palpitation are symptoms of high
blood pressure, which may cut off
life suddenly. Our modern habits of
lifeareresponsible, putting toogreat
a strain upon the vital organs, espe-
cially the liver. When the liver be-
comes limp or sluggish it fails to
cleanse the blood of the toxic pois-
ons formed in food waste. The pois-
ons then permeate the system, af-
fecting stomach, kidneys, heart and
blood pressure. The liver occasion
ally needs alittle help, and there's
nothing better for this, as medical
men today know, than little OK
gall. Ok gall is great natural stim-
ulant for the human liver, promot-
ing its normal active functioning,
so essential to real health. Dioxol
tablets are genuine OK gall in dainty
and tasteless form, each tablet rep
resenting 10 drops of pure OK gall.
A few bring impressive results. To
he sure of getting the genuine OK
gall, be sure of getting DioXol. They
cost less than &c each at druggists.

hay. This year it will grow an es-
timated 2.66 tons. In addition to
hay, which is losing ground in COM
mon with many other Held crops,
due to the soaring of land values,
part of the hay acre will be de-
voted to the raising of fruits and
vegetables returned one hundred to
In 1926 land planted to hay yield
ed only $36 per acre. The same
class of land planted to fruits and
vegetables returned ne hundred to
four hundred dollars an acre. A va
luation of the average acre of farm
land and buildings for the entire
state shows an advance in value
from $51.93 in 1910 to $1O4.67 in
1920 and $114.57 in 1925, statistics
reveal.
Due to the increase in dairy cows
the fodder crops themselves have
changed in the past few years, it
was shown. In 1919 there were
10000 and 1883 900 acres sown to
alfalfa and grain hay, espectively,
in California. In 1926 the
alfalfa acreage totalled $4,000 and
the grain hay 616,0O0, the. yields
being in the latter year, 1924, 900
tons of alfalfa against $4,000
IONS of the grain variety.
The principai result OF this crop
change has been that the yield in
dollars per acre has steadily de-
creased, Carver stated. In 1910,
with 2,400,0o5 acres cropped to hay
of all kinds, with grain hay in the
lead, the cash returns were $42,
l63, 900 to the farmer. In 1926 the
acreage, although it had gone to
100000 acres, brough a cash yield
of $62, 100000.
Hay is one of California's prin-
cipal crops, ranking first last year
in acreage and volume of output
and second only to oranges in value.

Local Elks Enjoy
Night of Fun

With a splendid entertainment
featured by a quartettc of yodclers
from the Swiss club, and the sing
ing of Doug Deeblc's new Gel Cen

Night" held by FL Centre lodge of
Elks last night, scored big hit
with members of the lodge.
The date marked the second ami
versary of the lodge s new home

over to the trustees, b. f. Lemons,

1927 agricultural season was the
very profitable citrus fruit crop.
Total shipments, average prices and
aggregate returns, for the year just
ended, all set new high records for
this tehhtory. New crop fruit will
begin to move during the early part
of November. Marketing of the
fresh grape crop is drawing to a
close. 1t is likely that total ship
ments will establish a new record.
Prices have been somewhat better
than in 1926, but not entirely salts

In all my other ring years, l
was what Is known AZ. q toe
fighter" never operated from
the fiat Of my feet; always moved
around on my toes and actually
let loose my punches while on my
toes. 1t was that style of footwork
that lifted me from obscurity up
to the top and it was that way Of
operating the pedals that kept me
on top for seven years.
But Flynn told me at the begin.
ming of my training that it was
all wrong for Sharkey. And then
he explained why:
There's no use Of trying to
heat Sharkey by Outstepping
him In. the early rounds. The
idea Is to get in close to him
and batter him down with body
punching: not the long shots,
but the short, jOlting ones in
close.
Now, IL you go prancing around
on your toes, you'll get to swinging
your punches and doing q lot OF
missing. Sharkey Is no world
beaten on the counter-punch stuff
but he is still good enough to pop
you quite a few IL you get to
throwing too many wild ones.
"Therefore, you forget that idea
Of galloping around on your toes.
And you forget that long hooking
business. Don't try to shoot him on
the chin with long hooks while
he's still fresh and spry. Wait un.
TIL you've slowed him up and tired
him by punching him with the
short ones in the body.
'YOu 90 out and follow him
around ON THE FLAT or
YOUR FEET. when Won are
shifting around that way, he
isn't going to tip you over with !,
any kind Of punch at any
time. You're safe from that

you the Okay. or, at least, not
until you see an opening as

Get in close and bang him in
the body. Keep on banging him
there. When he gets out Of one
trap, go trap, him again--and bang
him some more. Don't try any
long range fighting with him. Just
keep on top Of him all the time
and rip him in the body until he
begins to think that nine mules are
kicking ut him.
after that punch him until
he thinks you're 20 mules.

Betting Brisk Here

Indianapolis fight fans with an
inclination to back their convictions
on the outcome of the Dempsey
Tunnsy encounter with a bit of legal
tender were getting together" to-
day at even money, or near it.
Following the market" in Chi
cago, where odds favoring the cham
pion have been hammered down
within the last two days from Z or
s to 5 to a present 6 to 5 and some
even money, odds here have been
reduced correspondingly.
With the days of blackboard bets
past, wagering on the title bout is
anything but blatant. But in the
clubs, cigar stores, barber shops,
poolrooms and hotels it is going on
steadily.
Today's fight gossip in these place
said:
Most bets actually closed are at
or near even money instead of 7
to S, favoring Tunney. as a few days
ago.
One sportsman who fiourished
5000 in hotel Tuesday, willing to
stack OF against $500 that Tunney
would win. found no takers.
Word was received in gambling
circles here that there's a carload
of money in the East that says
Dempsey will win, at even money"
Offers Of I to that Dempsey will
knock Gene out are slow finding
takers.

HILLSIDE, Ill, Sept. 21.--In an
effort to solve the brutal killing Of
15-year-cld Edna Mueller, police to-
day had arrested more than a dozen
suspects for questioning, but were,

of the killer.
The body Of the girl was found In

The body showed marks oil hor-
rible brutality. She had been badly
beaten, her head crushed and her
throat bruised. The murderer had
attacked her.
Blood under the girls fingernails
showed, police believed, that she
had fought for her life and had
scratched the attacker. They were
searching for man whose face

One suspect, Anton Antonowicl1,
60, laborer, had scratches on his
face which he claimed were sus-
tained when he climbed through a
barbed wire fence. He lives in a
shack near the place where the
body was found.

stains on pair of shoes Antono-
wich admitted wearing declared
they were blood.

Light Frost in Indiana

Frost appeared in the lowlands of
Indiana this morning, but did little
damage, according to j. H. Arming-
ton, United States Weather Bureau
head.
There was a light frost about In
dianapolis, but none in the city
limits, Arlington said. Marion,
Farmland, Columbus and Vincennes
reported a heavy frost and a num-
ber of State points reported light
frosts, he said.
Cool temperatures will continue
today and tomorrow, according to
Arlington, with frost probably ap-
pearing again tonight in the low
lands. Today's 44-degree tempera-
ture at a. m. was 13 degrees below
normal. Last Wednesdays tempera-
ture averaged IS, which was II de-
grees above normal.
