MONTH" Collins said, with beer
accounting for 1853, $50 gallons and
the remainder of l,684,32 repre-
senting wine distribution.
"Califcrnians are loyal to home

our records, as only eight tenths
of one per cent of imported wines
were sold in this state during the
month. Locally manufactured
beers were also favored by Cali
fornians with 80 per cent OF the
total consumption brewed in this
state"

QUESTIONED

lace Ware questioned witnesses to-
day on the practicability of major

plication.
Tom Morgan, Pickwick owner,

bus routes between Los Angeles and
San Francisco.

operating between the two points
would be forced out, he replied Il
think So"
Commissioner described wildcat
companies. operating sedan serv-
ice, as typical fly-by-night COM
panies."
Morgan testified these firms
charge the lowest prices now in
effect and would be unable TO cut
prices further.
Morgan's figures for operating
his proposed routes were attacked
as too low by attorneys for oppoS-
ing concerns. Southern Pacific Co.,
Pacific Electric Co., and Pacific
Greyhound Lines. They endeaV-
ored to show that a driver would
receive 2 cents a mile instead of
the standard 3l2, or approximately
$3.50 for the trip between Kings
burg and San Luis Obispo.
Earl L. Bagby. attorney for Pa
cific Greyhound asked Morgan
whether he considered the Pacific
Greyhound Lines negligent in not
offering a second class service.
Morgan declined to reply.

"Is . wedding gift implied when

We should respond at once to a
wedding invitation, If the invita-
ton includes an invitation to the
reception. A formal invitation to
q formal church wedding Zone
that requests the honor Of your
presence"D does not need an &C
knowledgment. But, when there is
enclosed an invitation to the re-
ception, we answer this, and since
1t is formal, we send a formal
acknowledgement. that is, one in
the third person. Like this:

kind invitation
to their daughters wedding
reception
on Tuesday, the first Of April
II the invitation is an in
formal one, q note, say, you write
note regretting that you are
unable to attend, and thanking
for the invitation. It is correct
to send a telegram Of good wishes
also, but this doesn't take the
place Of the acknowledgment.
There isn't any rule about
sending a wedding present. It
depends entirely on our wish to
send one. Naturally, If we know
the bride or the groom, or both,
very well, we would want to send
wedding present. The fact that
no "At Home" card is included
makes no difference in this de-
ciSion.
