You may not be interested in the techni-
cal description or laboratory analysis of
Humble Flashlike Gasoline, but every one
who drives a car is interested in how the
product acts in the motor.
The above specifications Of Humble
Flashlike Gasoline show the laboratory
analysis and its explanation in everyday
terms. Every one agrees that easy starting
is much to be desired; also, to get your
moneys worth from the gasoline you buy,
it must burn completely. Humble Flash

vaporizing at 1100 Fair. maximum. evenly
proportional up to an "end point" $4,000

which the average motor operates most

fore, complete burning and full power.
. Humble Flashlike Gasoline must pass
very rigid c~orrosion test. Corrosion, you
know, often causes choked gasoline lines.
Humble F1ash1ike Gasoline is clean, high
ly refined, and has no offensive odor. Its
sulphur test must not show more than
one,tenth of one percent, thus safeguard
ing the valves in your motor from danger
of pitting. And a most rigid gum test in
sures that there is no resinous p~recipitate
in Humble Flashlike Gasoline to clog the
carburetor jets or to cause sticky valves.
1t will pay you to study the above
specifications. Make them the basis on
which you buy your gasoline.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

Total arrests for crimes in California for the fis
cal year ending June 30 1928, numbered 40,938
pared with 1874 for the preceding year. according to
figures Just released by Clarence S. Morrill,, supern-
tendent Of the bureau Of criminal Identification
OF this total, liquor violations caused 4762
rests, compared with 2065 the previous year, in
crease of 2697 In other words for liquor VIC
latOns more than doubled in a single year.
There We're 446 persons arrested for murder in that
period The figures not error 1t does not mean
there were 446 murdeys but even allowing two per-
for each murder the total is alarming to say the
least.
Another interesting figure is stolen cars. A
total of $40 stolen identified by the bureau
and returned TO their owners.
Other crime statistics shows equally heavy totals
in California.
We can only ask with the average citizen, What
are going to do about it,"
The total number Of persons arrested for murder
in one year. in this state alone is greater than would
cover the entire country of England a period Of
Doubling Of the arrests for liquor violations,
means either greater efficiency by the police than in
former years, or more people using liquor, depending
upon whether one has dry wet viewpoint
The situation demands serious thought by all
good citizens 1t is serious blot the state that re-
quires correction.

A GOOD LOB

SATURDAYS breal, in the east side high line canal
afforded excellent opportunity for the Imperial IL
rgation District to demonstrate the efficiency of its
organization, and the district not found wanting
Within 48 hours from the time the break dis
covered, it had been completely repaired and water
again flowing through the ditch, notwithstanding the
fact that the breach reached maximum width of $50
feet while the canal carrying 1900 feet Of water.
The break unusually difficult to
handle, inasmuch the only point a. which the
ter in the canal could be diverted into a lateral
some SO miles away.
As soon as the break discovered Superintend-
en HertZOg OF the HoltTille division, summoned his
men. NJ J. DoWd, chief engineer also arrived on the
scene to superintend operations. All the equipment
necessary to cope with the situation hurriedly
sembled and placed at work The Of the division
with the aid of crews summoned from other areas
worked continuously night and day and displayed
splendid spirit in sticking to the task in hand until the
break closed up.
The claim which has been made that the organ
izatOn of the district is fully competent to cope with
any emergency that might arise, proved beyond
doubt, and many words Of cOnmendati0n have been
heard throughout the valley, particularly the east
side for the businessike manner in which the person
mel functiOned.
Incidentally t is interesting to note that the break
was caused by gopher hole. 1t discovered by
patrolman who Immediately set the wheels in motion
to cope with situation. The gopher may appear as
small and noffensye animal the city dWeller, but
to district officials and ranchers he is Dernicous pest
whose eradication is justified at all times.
