art exhibit at its next performance.
The January production of the
Experimental theatre will be pre-

A representative collection of the
art work contributed by pupils of
the elementary schools under the
direction of Dorothy Shiveley. art
supervisor, will be arranged in the
lobby and will prove to be of inter
est to many El Centrans. The work
is original, creative. done entirely
by the pupils themselves without
reference to outside influences.
Yesterday the collection was put
In place and It makes an attractive
addition to the lobby. On the right
wall are two large full length fig
ures Of angels, painted effectively
with kalsomine on ordinary wrap
ping paper, representative of the
Christmas work.
A row of stylized flowers in bril-
liant colors affords an interesting
contrast while a still further con-
trast is furnished by the striking
black and white crayon drawings.

ception of 12-cylinder performance.
The V-12-145 group is largely de-
voted to custom body creations ana
a small group of Lincoln made bo-
dies appealing to those who desire
the most luxurious automobile
transportation. The V-12-136 cars
are priced from $4,000, the V-12-14)
cars from 1900 at Detroit.
With important mechanical i'm
provements both in engine and
chaSsis-the result of years of en-
gineering research - together with
refinements in body design and fit
tings which lend new grace and
distinction to the ensemble, the new
cars surpass all previous Lincolns in
performance, beauty, appointments,
riding comfort, safety and economy
of operation.
Both designs have been. refined
and modernized and the bodies
equipped with a controlled clear-vi-
sion ventilation system which pro-
videS the maximum of comfort in
all weathers. Body lines retain the
flowing grace of the streamline de-
sign. The cars are low and sleek in
appearance, beautifully propor-
toned, wholly in the modern con-
ception. Fittings and appointments
are in keeping with Lincoln tradi-
ton

Reversing the receding trend
which prevailed during the autumn
months, business activity in South
ern California turned upward in
December, according to the month
" summary of business conditions
compiled and published by the Sc
curity-First National Bank of Los
Angeles.
The year 1888 ended with general
economic conditions in their area
considerably improved in contrast
with the situation y months prev
ious. This is the first period since
1923 in which December has shown
increased activity i'll comparison
with the similar month of the pre-
ceding year Business reached the
lowest level Of many years during
last March. Thereafter it showed
unusually rapid Improvement for
four months, July marking the peak
of the advance. As a result of re-
action which followed. about 40
per cent of this gain was lost by
November. However, improvement
reappeared in December, confirm
ing the belief of many observers
that business is in the process of
gradual recovery.
Preliminary estimates indicate
that retail trade in Los Angeles was
about 7 per cent larger in Decem-
ber than in the similar month a
year ago, but reports from smaller
communities throughout the south
ern part Of the state show gains
OF from 10 to 25 per cent. Some
concerns showed business increases
of so, 100 and even larger per-
centages. Trade showed the most
marked improvement in those areas
which have benefited from higher
prices for agricultural products,

To Central Union

Following q hearing before the
board of supervisors yesterday af-
ternoon, the Dixieland school dis
trict was made a part of the Gen.
tral Union high school district. This
hearing was a continuation of one
held before the board just prior to

The board took this action after
an agreement had been reached be-
tween representatives of the school
districts in order that expenses OF
pupils from the Dixieland district
attending the local high school
might be met and the burden taken
from the high school.
The supervisors approved the 60

thorized several transfers of money

DECEMBER BUSINESS REPORT
FOR SOUTHLAND SHOWS GAIN

Fresno being an outstanding ex-
ample. The distribution of large
sums of money in the form of Civil
Works Administration payrollS had
stimulating effect on business in
many localities, the monthly review
reports, continuing in part as fol-
lows:
"Year-end surveys show appreci-
able increases in the gross returns
from many farm crops in 1888 as
contrasted with 1882, important
instances being grapes, raisins,
beans, wheat, barley. cotton, sugar
beetS, canned peaches, prunes and
others. Orange prices advanced
rapidly and extensively during the
last three weeks in December after
having declined to unusually low
levels. The navel crop is now NOV
ing to market at prices substantial
ly above those which prevailed dur
ing the last part of the valencia
season. The current harvest is eX-
pected to be smaller than usual and
will be sold under the pro-ration
plan Incorporated in the recently
adopted AAA marketing agreement
for oranges and grapefruit.
Industrial Activity Better
"Induatrial activity in Decem-
Der showed a slight improvement
from the level of the month prev
ious, according to reports from con-
Germs operating in the Los Angeles
area. AS the year ended, the volume
of production in most lines remain
ed substantially in excess of the
amounts manufactured during the
comparable period of 1892, and Or
ders now on the books indicate
that the level of business in Jan
uary, 1894, will be the same as or
higher than in the month just end

ed. Figures released by the state
division of labor statistics show en-
ployment to have been 21.4 per cent
higher and payrolls 22.3 per cent
larger in November than in the cor
responding month year ago These
gains are the most extensive for
the 12-month comparison that have
obtained during the current upturn
in activity and, in fact, for many
years past. One of the more en-
couraging aspects of the current
economic situation in Southern Cal
ifornia is the fact that industrial
employment has been so well main
tanned during recent months despite
the recession in general business
from the peak registered in July.
STEADY improvement in the
banking situation during December
is reflected by the weekly state
ments of condition for the local re-
porting member banks of the Fed
eral Reserve System. During the
four weeks period ended December
20, increases occurred in loans, in
veStments, and demand and time
deposits. The most pronounced in
crease was that for time deposits
amounting to 35 per cent. In con-
traSt with December 81, 1882. in
vestments show gain of almost 10
per cent while loans are 2.5 per
cent smaller. Aggregate deposits
are "a per cent larger than a year
previous, due to increases in the
demand and government classifica-
tions which more than offset de-
creases in time deposits and funds
due to banks. The local reporting
banks have shown no borrowing at
the Federal Reserve Bank since
September. -
