BUSINESS SHOWS
SLIGHT DECLINE
DURING MONTH

Business activity in the Pacific
Southwest territory showed a de-
clining tendency during the first
month of the new year. The vol
ume of trade and industry was com
paratively large, but many indices
recorded decreases from compare.
tive periods, and the general level,
after allowance for seasonal in
fluences, was somewhat lower than
during the previous halfyear.
This is the Introductory para
graph of the Monthly Summary OF
Conditions in the Pacific South
west territory compiled by the Re
search Department of the Los An
gelesFirst National Trust & Saw
ings Bank and the First Securities
Company, and released for publica-
ton today. The summary continues
in part:
January bank clearings in Los
Angeles were per cent less than
for December, whereas n small IN.
crease ordinarily occurs. \ similar
decline of nearly 3l2 per cent from
the corrected January, 1927, leve,
was observed. The loss occurred
during the latter part of the month.
Check transactions in outside re-
porting cities were running per
cent below last year.
Distribution of goods was fairly
satisfactory. Retail trading expcr-
fenced the customary lull after the
holiday season, with indications of
increased sales resistance. Whole
sale trade registered n slight in
crease. The hotels reported a good
tourist season.
Industry Quiet
Industry is starting the year
more quietly than usual. Production
is large but many plants are ope-
rating on reduced schedules. Janu-
ary building in Los Angeles was be-
low the monthly average for last
year. Petroleum output continued
at previous levels. Unemployment
has tended to increase. Business
mortality remained heavy. both in
number and in aggregate liabilities.
Agricultural interests are making
the usual preparations for 1928
crops. Pruning and orchard work
Is we'll advanced. The weather has
been favorable for soil cultivation
and the ground is now in splendid
condition to receive additional ram.
The moisture situation has been
good. hut more rain will soon be
needed.
Harvesting of an excellent citrus
crop is proceeding normally. The
quality and prices are good and the
statistical position of the market is
strong. Frost damage has been
small. The Imperial valley lettuce
season now in progress promises to
be the most profitable in recen,
years.
The cotton harvest is virtually
completed Reduced output has
been more than offset by increased
prices. Grain planting is under
way in most districts, with an in
crease in acreage anticipated. The
bean markets have strengthened
during the month. Ranges and live
stock are in good condition and
prices have continued upward.

There is an enormous flood Of

Drink Milk, is
| Doctor S Urge
Says Most Americans Do
Not Have Enough.
By DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor journal of the American
Medical Association and of Hy-
gia, the Health Magazine.

The experts in nutrition have de-
cided that l ga pints of milk per
i day is a reasonable average con-
| suption for man, whereas the aver
age American really consumes about
three-fourths of a pint.
Al pointed out by DIR. c. E. A.
Winslow, milk ranks third among
the foodstuffs as source of ener-
gy and second in richness in pro-
teins and In fats.
For more than quarter of CEN
fury vast amount Of attention has
been given in this country to the OBJ
tanning of a pure milk supply. but
standards of cleanliness in milking
are still low.
Contamination Easy
Conta mination still takes place
easily from the COW. from the fin
gers Of the mixer. from flies and
from dirty vessels in which the milk
is collected or into which 1t may
be poured after collecting. Further
more. under civilized conditions of
living. it is necessary to transmit
milk over long distances and there
are numerous possibilities for con-
tamination in transit.
Although there is still much tu-
berculosis from bovine sources in
the United States, the rate for this
type is twice as high in England as
in this country. due undoubtedly to
the higher standards of purity in
milk demanded by the laws of the
United States.
Nevertheless. even with all of our
laws relative to sanitation of diaries
and to pasteurization Of milk. oc-
casional epdemics Of typhoid fever.
scarlet fever, diphtheria and septic
sore throat still develop from in
fected milk due to someone's care
lessness in seeing that the laws are
properly obeyed.
Doctor WinsIow points out that
one of the most important points in
the control of milk is rapid cooling.
The milk should be brought to Il
temperature of 10 degrees cent?
grade as soon after milking as pos
sble.
Pasteurization is the most eff
Gent method of assuring pure milk
and heating for 30 minutes to
temperature of 60 degrees will de-
stroy all of the germs without mod
flying the cream, or its chemical or
physical characteristics.
Supplying Vitamin c
True, this may have some effect
on the vitamin c. the anti-scurvy
vitamin. For this reason all spe-
cialists recommend today that in
fants depending largely on milk for
their diets be given also some fresh
fruit juices, such as either orange
juice or tomato juice.
Doctor Winslow is convinced that
more disease is due to the lack OF
drinking milk that to the drinking
of contaminated milk. So important
il this substance in the diet that he
feels it should become q national
question.
The Capitalization of milk produc-
ton in large concerns and the atten-
ton Of government health depart
ments to the sanitation and econo-
mics of the industries are neces-
sary,' he says, lin assuring greater
milk consumption and a purer milk
supply"

Mrs Houdini
Waits in Vain
Looking for Message That
Never Comes.

"Of course there is magic in the
world-for those who can catch it
just as there are fairies for chill
dren," says Mrs. Houdin, widow of
the late world famous magician.
But it requires tremendous dex-
terity. poise and exceeding self-re-
lance to be able to have hand in
magic.
Add to all this belief in the su-
pernatural and one becomes spirit
ualist. But the difference between
a spiritualist and magician is that
a magician never fools himself. and
IN inclined to think spiritualists do.
For they are fanatical in their belief
in their communication with the
hereafter.
+ Not a day has passed since my
husbands death but that at least
one spiritualist has come to see me.
Houdini and / made a compact 35
years ago that the first one to pass
would get secret message back to
the other. a code message. To date
I've had many messages purported
to be from Houdini but never one
that had a word of our code in it.
I've believed in magic for IS
years now. If I ever get Houdini's
message I'll be convinced of spirit
ualism. l am still waiting. and hop
ing, to get his message. ] obey all
the impulses l have to do things
that might bring communication.
Il have a handkerchief Ruth Sny-
Ter embroidered for me while in the
death house. The other night ]

handkerchief three times around my
head. l waved and waved it. Moth
ing happened.
IF anybody can come through it
will be sIoudni. Until he does, I
am uatchfully waiting to believe in
