APRIL BUSINESS
FAILS TO SHOW
RADICAL CHANGE

Business activity in Southern
California during April maintained
the horizontal trend established
during the first quarter of 1881.
This is shown by the fact that the
statistics for April, 1881, compared
with those for April, 1890, reflect
about the same percentage declines
as those revealed by similar COM
PARSONS for preceding months.
This is the Introductory para
graph of the Monthly Summary of
Business Conditions in the Pacific
Southwest territory compiled by the
Department of Research and Serv-
ice of the Security First National
Bank of Los Angeles, and released
for publication today. The sum-
mary continues in part:
Hopes for general business i'm
provement must be based chiefly on

occurred, however, to change the
opinion expressed in this publlca-
ton over the past several months
that recovery, when 1t does set in,
will be a gradual rather than a
rapid process.
Bank debts in Los Angeles and
six other Southern California cities

less than in April, 1890. When al
lowance is made for an 18 per cent
decline in the general level of
wholesale prices, as reported by the
United States Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics, the April showing is not en-.
tirely an unsatisfactory one.
Reports from concerns in leading
lines of manufacturing indicated
comparatively little change in the
volume of operations during April
compared with the preceding month
although activity was at lower levels
than obtained in April, 1890. On
the basis of sales of electrical ener-
gy for industrial use, activity during
March (the latest month for which
these data are available), was ap-
proximately equal to that of Feb
ruary, and was only slightly less
than in March, 1890. Employment
during April was maintained at ap-
proximately the March level, and

Officers Seek
Runaway Boys

Members of the sheriff's staff
yesterday afternoon we're asked to
help in locating two runaway boys.
one from El Centre and one from
Seeley. The boys are Arlow Andy
Scott, 19, Ell Centre, and Walter
Jones, II, Seeley.
Scott's disappearance was report
ed by his aunt, Mrs. l.. B. Dodge.
She expressed the opinion that the
boy may be bound for Red Bluff.
He looks and acts younger than he
is, she said. He has scar on the
right side of his head, and when
last seen was wearing a light shirt
and light trousers.
F. E. Mastick reported the disap-
pearance of the Jones youth. He
does not want the boy held, he told
officers, but only wants to know II
he is all right. The boy Is cross
eyed, freckle faced, was wearing blue
overalls and blue shirt and carry

was less than in April, 1880, accord
ing to preliminary reports.
The volume of merchandise dis
tributed at retail and wholesale
during April was approximately the
same as in March, but was less than
in April, 1890.
Building activity in Los Angeles
declined seasonally during April
compared with March. Real estate
financing in Los Angeles county
during March (the latest month for
which figures are available), was
carried on at approximately the
levels of the preceding two months.
This class of financing consisted of
7l29 loans, representing S29, TIC ,419
during March, as compared with
6082 and 6873 loans, amounting to
S27,658,187 and S3l, ,250589, made
during February and January, re-
spectively.

fornia during late April were bene-

were probably too far advanced to

KNIGHTS TO ASK
EQUIPMENT FOR
SEWER REPAIRS

For the second time In q period
OF only few days, q crew today Is
working on another cave-in of the
FL Centre outfall sewer, while Phil
Knights, city engineer, is preparing
to submit TO the city council tonight
a request for emergency equipment
to handle collapses possible because
of the decayed condition of the out
fall sewer line.
A portion of the outfall line about
two and a half miles north of I'M
perial caved in Thursday night,
blocking the sewer and backing sew
age up u such an extent that it
overflowed from a manhole on the
line.
A repair crew was rushed to the
damaged section and began work.
ing with scanty equipment gathered
hastily when word OF the cave-in
was received here. The crew was
still working on repairs yesterday
and today.
The latest collapse of the sewer
line backed sewage up so that the
working crew could not continue
with repairs on the section of sewer
which caved in a few days ago. but
was forced to devote its entire at
tention to the new menace.
When the pipe was cleaned out
sufficiently to allow sewage to flow
through again the crew began re-
pairing the damage. caused by rot
ting Of the sewer pipe.
In presenting his request for
emergency equipment before the
city council tonight, Knights will
point out the danger of other COL
lapses in the line. and danger to
the city from the possible resulting
stoppage Of the sewer. Equipment
he will request included pumps to
force the sewer flow in case OF q
stoppage.
The latest cave-in of the FL Gen.
tro sewer line is seen as further in
dication of the need Of a new out
fall sewer line. which has been un-
der discussion here for some time.

 In. "6 Cylinder Love-" Edward Everett Horton has a principal part. While there is no exact monetary value accredited to a laugh, Horton has built himself big estate near Hollywood, a summer home in Lake George, New York, and an enviable reputation solely on laughs.
 Born in Brooklyn and tracing his ancestry back to Revolutionary days, Horton was educated at Ob- erlin and Columbia, taking his A.. B. from the latter institution He decided on a stage career, and played his first role in a road con- pany, "The Mikado.'
 Entered Pictures in 1921
 He began his screen career in 1921 in Vitagraph's "roo Much Business" Since the advent of the talkies, his theatrical training has enhanced his delightful comedy talents.
 In "6 Cylinder Love-" as the leader of the sponging gang of friends" who embroil the two families in plenty of financial diff ficulty, Horton supplies large share of the merriment. Such we'll known players as William Col Her, Sr., Fl Brendel, Una Merkel, Ruth Warren, Bert Roach, William Holden and Lorin Raker are in the cast. Thornton Freeland directed.

relics were collected in one room by indefatigable property" men. All together there were more than 20 officers peaked helmets, score of machine guns, and various other pieces of ordnance. including po- tato masher bombs, aerial gren- ades and unexploded shells. The picture co-features Genevieve To- bin, Betty Compson, with Ivan Le- bedeff in thrilling spy story.
 How Wounded Men Act
 In the filming of "Gentleman's Fate" the question, What does a man do when he is shot?" had to be answered.
 For an answer, the research de- partment supplied the director with several reels of film taken by the War Department in France and these were studied closely by all the actors marked for death" in the picture. These included Gil- bert, John Milan, Ralph Ince and several extras.
 The story, written especially for Gilbert by Ursula Parrott, is laid for the most part in bootlegging section of New Jersey.
 Man About Town
 Gilbert is first seen as a man. about-town of unlimited income. He becomes engaged to woman prominent in society, and subse- quently finds out that he is not wealthy young blood, but the son of thief and bootlegger. The revelation causes his fiancee to break off the engagement and Gill bert, cynical and disillusioned, takes up his fathers occupation. The drama from then on pivots around his career as a gangster and killer and his entanglement with another woman.
 An important supporting cast includes Louis Wolheim, Leila Fly ans, Marie Provost and George Cooper.
