NOVEMBER BUSINESS SHOWS
NO EXCEPTIONAL CHAN GES

Although reports covering indus
trial, commercial and agricultural
activities in Los Angeles and Sou
them California during November
indicate that declines from the pre-
ceding month were more numer-
Gus than advances, must be re-
membered that receding tendencies
are normal in many lines of acti-
vity at this season of the year. How
ever, the retail and wholesale
trades of Los Angeles and the To-
cal industries which are depend
ent upon these outlets experienced
marked falling off in business in
contrast with the increase which
usually occurs at this time. Mer-
chants in a number of lines, such
as womens and mems clothing,
credited the unfavorable showing to
the exceptionally warm and dry
weather which has prevailed. Sales
at retail in Southern California ci-
ties other than Los Angeles were
practically unchanged from the le-
vel established in October.
This is the opening paragraph
from the monthly summary of busi-
ness conditions in the Pacific
Southwest area, compiled and pub
lished by the Security First Nation
al Bank of Los Angeles and released
today. The summary continues in
part:
Commerce through the Los An
geles Long Beach harbor was lar
ger in November than in October,
in terms of both tonnage and
value, according to preliminary
data. In the field of building activ-
ity, there were no important chan
ges from the conditions which have
characterized recent months. A
building permit, valued at $283, 900,
taken out in Glendale for the erec-
ton of a new federal building, Will
probably prove to be the largest is
sued in Southern California during
the month. Considerable interest
attended the recent announcement
OF the bids made on the first unit
of the Metropolitan Aqueauct.
The value of bank debts in Los
Angeles was 34 per cent less in
November than in the preceding
month. This showing is generally
favorable, inasmuch as it is the
smallest decrease which has occur
red in this interval since 1927. For
the four weeks ended November
81, debts in 8 leading Southern
California cities, exclusive of Los
Angeles, declined &c per cent be-
low the previous period of cores
ponding duration.
While prices of farm products in
general are practically unchanged
from month ago, quotations on cer-
tain commodities, including butter
fat, eggs and oranges, registered
gains during November that were
! of more than seasonal proportions.
AT the present time, wholesale pri-
ces of butter and eggs at Los An
geles are approximately. 10 per cent
above their low points for the year
and are only slightly below the lev
els of year ago. Average returns
on oranges, f. O. b. California ship
ping points, established a new high

mark for 1882 during the week
ended November 26.
Weather conditions during the
past month were generally favor
able for crop harvesting but lack
of rainfall has retarded fall plant
ing and caused deterioration of
ranges and pastures. AS the end of
the year approaches it becomes ap-
parent that the 1882 returns from
agricultural operations in South
ern California will show a substan-
tial decrease from last year. Dur
ing the season which ended October
81. citrus fruits brought an income
to this state currently estimated at
approximately $79,000,00, as con-
trasted with almost $l,000,000 in
the preceding period. The burden
of distribution and transportation
charges upon California producers
becomes apparent when data COW
ering the 1922 orange season are
analyzed According to recent
study, out of each dollar which the
consumer spent for oranges, the
grower received 27.2 cents for his
fruit (on the tree) while the re-
taller obtained 29.l cents and the
transportation companies 22.6
cents.
While changes in banking and
financial conditions in Los Ange-
les and Southern California were
of minor Importance during No
vember, developments were gener-
ally of favorable character.
Loans for commercial purposes
increased by small amount dur
ing the four weeks period ended
November 80. This movement re-
verses the declining trend which
has been apparent for many months
but is in line with seasonal expec-
tations According to the weekly re-
ports, Los Angeles member banks
have had no borrowings at the fed
eral reserve bank since early Sep
tember. On December /, the banks
belonging to the Los Angeles
Clearinghouse association, an
nounced reduction of interest
rates on savings deposits to per
cent, effective as OF January /,
1893.
The volume of industrial employ
ment in Los Angeles county in
creased slightly in October as COM
pared with September, according to
official statistics published in the
latest California labor market bull
letin. Although a gain is normally
expected at this time, the present
increase is favorable indication
in that it is the first to be regis
tered for the September-October
interval since 1929.

The Farmers Need

The striking farmers who hoped to keep produce and livestock from the markets uns til prices were forced up had problem with which everyone sympathizes. Their method of meeting it, however. seemed unwise and doomed to failure even before the sheriffs got busy with tear gas. The perisnable stuff withheld from the margets would spoil. The livestock would have to be marketed some time, and its price would still be con- trolled. by the old economic law of supply and demand when that time came.
 Farmers have had'a raw deal." in many ways. but possibly no more so than their fellow citizens in the towns. Perhaps they have suffered mote disappointment in recent years because they have been promised more. However. corporation in crop regulation, in orderly marketing. in studying their problems and seeking the solutions will be far more helpful to them than cooperation in destruction and violence.

nificant. Police arrested 47 con- munists and had to let them go because no reason could be found for their arrest. A grand jury could only indict three overseas vets who had thrown bricks, but hated the communists like poison.
 Six weeks after the eviction Hoover unleashed Mitchell's re- port which sought to show that many of the bonus marchers were criminals. The second reaction was even more unfavorable than the first.
 The newspapers shot the Mitchell report full of holes. Legionnaires at Portland loaned at the mouth. Superintendent of Police Glassford here, who had handled the bonus army without disorder until Hoov- CT intervened, raked the report fore and aft. The administration failed to fire Glassford, apparent ly because he was too popular and could demand an open trial.
 And the administrators mud dle was still further accentuated when, after Secretary of War Pat Hurley had given the legion his solemn word of honor that fed- eral troops didn't set fire to bonus army shacks, Assistant Secretary Payne announced that possibly they had, but what of it?"
 Some writers have guessed that Hoover's reopening of the bonus army affair meant that he was de- flying all veterans and hoping thus to attract support of all anti bonus elements. That may be so but 1t is obvious that in the bonus army question the president has grabbed himself a red-hot potato.

Foregin Names

At time when the American people show indications of growing world minded, fortunately there appears government re- port showing how to spell all the foreign geographical names that most of us are likely to have any use for. Here is field where there is great confusion. It used to be simple enough. There were few foreign countries. cities, rivers. mountains. etc. that we cared anything about. We could man. age to pronounce their names more or less in the accepted way. based on the English practice. even when it turned Livorno into 'Leghorn' or Napoli into Naples" or in- sisted on using the old Greek word Con- stantinople' for the modern Turkish Istambul. Latterly with the printed forms of thousands of places becoming more fa- miliar. and with millions of American im- migrants pronouncing them in the manner of the mother country. there has been growing tendency to adopt the foreign. native pronunciation and spelling of foreign names. It is time that order was brought into this chaos.
 Much of the interest in such matters is merely cultural. Schools. colleges and cur. rent events clubs may fight over them. There is a very practical side to the ques. ton. however This is the addressing of letters to foreign countries ip such way that they will be sure of delivery The government report submits q simple rule. Write ibe address in tbe manner of the county 10 which the letter is going. all sx. espt the name of tbs country itself, write that in English, Thus our own poaofiies psopls will see that ibs letter goes io ibs right country, which can be dspsndsd on io do ibs fsa itself

A PLEASURE OF AUTUMN
(HartfOrd COurant)

If all the wealth of the Indies, either hidden or discovered, could be coined it would not pay for the wild asters now in bloom. No matter whether the season is droughty or wet the flowers bloom hereabouts, indifferent to condi- tions. Fire or the scythe may de- stroy them for @ year, but the roots merely say, Better luck next time," and prepare for the com ing season. They have learned the secret of cooperation and produce a large number of seeds with a comparatively limited quantity of flowers. If they eventually equip these with wings, as have the den- delion and the thistle, they may possess the land.
 There are in this country some 250 species of aster, and many va- rieties, and New England has a generous share of them. Four are generally known. Speaking after the manner of botanists, they are Aster divaricatus, having loose white flower hears, Aster macro- phyllus, with large basal leaves and tall stems topped with laven- der flowers, Aster Nova anglae. which may grow as much as eight feet in height and which also has lavender flowers and Aster erico- ides, which is covered with deli cate small white flowers. If we har the time, we should go into almost amp country town in this state, cut a single plant of this variety at about this time in the season and count the number of blossoms on 1t.
 These perennia1s are now at their best, even though Aster eri- coides will later show few blooms through the first light snow that falls and not until "the hare creeps shivering through the frozen grass" will 1t close business for the winter. For aught we know, 1t competes with the witch hazel in the matter of lateness. It is a delight to the eye, and just now is common, so common, that the mind fails to appreciate It's beauty. But when mid-Navember comes, the New Englander will find himself on the lookout for these small but very brave blos- soms.
 When we travel now we may see all the types of aster if we have normal sight and a knowledge of what we are seeking. and to see them is q delight which does not pass at the moment. The menn- ories they bring are treasured, for the yare likely to bring back thoughts of tho blossoms seen fifty odd years ago, which Is sufficient reason for giving them a welcome now. They, at least have not grown old.

Well-Equipped Farms

The Canadian farmer IS making good use of the gas engine. In the past 10 years the number of cars on farms there has doubled. The present ratio is one car for every 2.27 farms, Ontario has car for every l.53 farms In the decade l921-31. the number of Canadian farms reporting tractors increased l23 per cent. Farms reporting gas engines have grown in number 1892 per cent There is binder for every l.69 farms and threshing machine for every 964 farms One farm in six has radio. one in 3.ll has a telephone. one in 8. has water piped to the kitchen and one in 20.l7 has water piped to bathroom.
 This seems an unusually good showing when one considers how expensive some of this equipment has been and how recently Canadian farms have been regarded as too remote and lonely to attract settlers. Elec- trcity is added to these rural blessings in re- gions served by the hydro-electric power development. Farming has plenty of disad- vantages in Canada and in this country in the mater of uncertain prices and markets, but they must be shrinking in importance in comparison with some of the new ad- vantages.

Is it to be Elsie Hill or Mrs Albert Levitt who will seek the office or representative from the fourth congressional district on the independent-republean ticket this fallf That is question now perplexing Professor Levitt and his cohorts who oppose Senator Bingham and other wet republicans of Con- necticut. It doesn't seem to perplex Elsie Hill, though. She claims that is her legal name, although she is married to Professor Levitt. Incidentally she is one of the fore most advocates of the Lucy Stone League and an early worker for woman's suffrage. Her husband agrees with her. But state officials are pondering on the subject and ruling is expected momentarily. Until then it will be Elsie Hill on the ballots and probably after that, too.

A Book a Day
by BRUCE CATION
Ousted Editor Raps College
 and Football

Reed Harris, the Columbia uni- versity newspaper editor who got fired for 1ese majeste, or some- thing like that, last spring, speaks his mind about the American uni- versity and intercollegiate football in "King Football"
 Here Is a book that Is measur- ably less good than it might have been, but that is nevertheless q valuable and interesting bit of work.
 Its value is lessened by the fact that MT Harris frequently scat ters his fire, and also by the fact that he betrays his personal ami. mus a bit to ofrequent1y.
 However, 1t is a fortnight and candid discussion of the evils that have betrayed college foot oakland we are far from having surfeit of discussions of that type.
 MT Harris bluntly declares that 8 sordid materialism grips Ameri- can colleges and universities to-day and that football is merely . symp- tom. He asserts that professional ism, with it's attendant evils of proselyting, ballyhoo, brutality and hypocrisy, is rampant, declares that the average football player despisss the idea of getting an education and condemns alumni organize tions, university presidents and the fraternity system with equal vigor.
 His book may be overdrawn and trifle hysterical-but 1t will take some answering. Published by the Vanguard Press, 1t retails for $2.

Washington.-Pres Hoover's unwillingness to let the country forget his eviction of the bonus army from Washington may al- ways remain an inexplicable politi- cal mystery.
 His course toward the B. E. F. appears to have been g. political blunder from the start and his in- sistence on dragging the issue out again through his presentation of Attorney General Mitchelrs report seemed to indicate that he is a glutton for punishment.
 You can cheer indefinitely about Hoover's firm stand against the cash bonus and you might even ap- plaud the eviction itself. But no one here who follows politics and public reaction questions the con- sistently unfortunate effect of the administrators B. E. F. policy at time when the president Is in need of popular favor.
 : {: <:
 The question is: How on earth did MT Hoover come to let him. self in for 1t?
 Inside information has clarified the motives behind the drastic eviction. The administration wasn't merely seeking to make 8 grand stand play to the country's pre- dominating conservative element
 It did expect a favorable reac- ton, especially from the wealthy conservative group, and an accept ance of it's charge that the bonus army was led by communists and criminals. An obtuse group of army, justice department and se- cret service spies, unable to see any color but "Red," appears to have loaded the president with the information he has passed on to the country.
 But the decisive factor was the imminence of the forceful, mas- terly Hoover acceptance speech. There was every likelihood that a few radicals, if not a considerable portion of the B. F. F., would take this occasion for a demonstration. Hoover would have felt compelled to deliver the speech with the White House, Constitution hall and the way between heavily guarded by police. His advisers agreed with him that the prospect was pretty bad. So the eviction was accom- plished with tear gas, bayonets and fire.
 Unfortunately, the administra- tion forgot about the Forgotten man." There had been much in- articulate sympathy for the poor visiting vets. And the politicians promptly learned of huge mass resentment among other veterans. their relatives and friends. This far outweighed the favorable re- action from the so-called upper and middle classes, which was by no means unanimous.
 A flood of explanatory state ments poured out from administra- tion officials, but even staunch ad- ministration newspapers, anxious to uphold Hoover, commented sourly on their absurdity.
 The explanation about the com munists failed because the com munist factor had been so insig-
