SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

A Request.
o Mr.. Congressman, my friend,
My counselor and guide,
/ know how often to defend
MY interests you've tried.
My meek petition ,nce again
beg that you will scan
And certain needs Of mine make plain
Unto the weather man.
do not ask that you shall change
The usual course of trade,
And bid my profits higher range.
Through tariffs deity made.
But If to ease my feelings sore
You would devise a law,
I'd like chance to wear once more
My good old hat of straw.

The Practical Chap.

hC Al1NtACAA A1Aaps
Oh, the practical chap Is generous
man,
He's always found doing the best that
he can
To keep you from sorrow and physical
ache,
He struggles along for humanitys sake.
When others are singing of birds and
OF bees
He talks of mosquitoes and house flies
and fieas,
And the May time we speak Of In elo-
quent terms
For him is season Of saivers and
germs.
For his generous thought we are CRATE
full, indeed,
And we turn to him oft in our serious
need,
But in moments of laughter and jesting
and song,
We speak of him kindly, but pass him
along,
For he is a fellow who dampens our
cheer
BY hints Of the penalties lowering
near;
And that's Why the lcpelisst man on the
map
Is this kind and we'll meaning, but
practical chap.

NORTHRUP GETS
RECOGNITION IN
AUTO CIRCLES

Since the new WHY'S Knight ears
came on the market here few
weeks ago, their new lines, coloring
fittings, comfort, beauty and alto
gcthcr different appearance has
caused many to inquire about who
designed the new ears, according to
Earl Lee of Lee Bros, Willys
Knight dealer.
They were designed by Amos +.
Ncrthtup, art director and chief
designer for WHY'S Overland, he
stated.
Northrup has complete super
vision of all designing for WHY'S
Ovcrland,' explained Lee. "This
includes body styles, color combina-
tions, upholstery, decorative work,
appointments, etc. He is one of the
best known car designers in the
country.
:" He has had wide range of ex-
pcricncc in both custom and pro-
duction automobile body designing
and his work has included designing
of the highest priced luxury cars
down to the lowest priced in the
four cylinder field
Prior to 1923 Northrup de-
voted most of his time to designing
custom built cars. He is the origin
ator of the town-car or cadet type
of automobile front now being used
by approximately 90 per cent of
American car manufacturers today.
He is also credited with being the
first designer to use bright colors
on production cars.
"Thc design making the wind
shield integral with the body also
is credited to him. He was the first
TO introduce metal roof quarters,
the close coupled four passenger
coupe, the first to produce the four
passenger blind quarter sedan and
continuous reveals above the belt
moulding.
While discussing his work re-
Gently Northrup stated that the
present day automobile buyer wants
both style and comfort and these
must be embraced in any ear if it
is to gain wide appcal.'

MARCH BUSINESS
SHOWS UP WELL
IN SOUTHWEST

Business activity in the Pacific
Southwest territory has been at good
levels during March. Industrial
operations in particular have been
conducted at high rate, distribu-
tiOn of goods has expanded in
response to seasonal influences, and
an ample supply of credit has been
available at reasonable rates. On
the whole, the volume of business
since the first of the year has been
we'll above the similar period of
1923 and first quarter totals have
reached record heights in many
lines.
This is the introductory para
graph of the Monthly Summary Of
Business Conditions in the Pacific
Southwest territory compiled bv the
Department of Research and Service
of the Security First National Bank
of Los Angeles, and released for
publication today. The summary
continues in part:
Check transactions in the metro
politan area for March registered a
strong seasonal increase over Feb
ruary and were IT per cent more
than year ago. The total for the
three months period showed cor
responding gain of 20 per cent.
Stock exchange activity was nearly
onc-third greater than in the prcvl-
GUS month but was moderately less
than during last March. Income tax
payments for the Los Angeles dis
trict were II per cent in excess OF
the first installmcnt in 1928.
Industrial power consumption Is.
running substantially ahead of last
year, indicating large production
of commodities. The copper, pctro-
lcum, automobile tire, and oil well
supply industries continue very ac-
tive. Furniture manufacturing i'm
proved, although motion picture opc-
rations remained quiet. The volume
of building construction again in,
creased with the quarter S total 10
per cent above Il year ago. Real
estate transactions showed the usual
gain over February but were less
than in March of 1928.
Mercantile trading at retail and
wholesale was scaSonally more active
than in February and was main
tanned at approximately the levels
of last March. The value of IIarbor
commerce registered a good increase
over com paratiVc months. Fcbru-
arv sales of new automobiles IN
southern California were the largest
since tho fall of 1927. Tho business
mortality record was materially M
proved, aggregate liabilities being
only onc.half those of February, al
though the combined total for the
first quarter was nearly 90 per cent
greater than last year.
Additional rainfall in March was
very beneficial TO agriculture and
the prospects for most crops are
favorable, even though precipitation
| to date is still below normal. Mar
keting of navel oranges has incrcas-
cd in volume while prices have de
clincd to lower levels. The decid-
uous fruit outlook in the southern
districts is reported as the best since
1922.
The Imperial Valley lettuce deal
is virtually completed. Record
shipments and excellent prices have
resulted in the most profitable sea.
son in the history of the industry.
Cotton planting has begun with an
indicated increase Of - per cent in
the acreage for the entire territory.
The acreage Of beans is yet un'
certain. The condition Of grains,
hay and ranges has improved but
further rains are needed.
