Millions Spent by
Tourists i'm South
Portion of State

Tourists, who visited southern
California during the past IL
months, proved to be excellent
spenders.
The annual report of the All-Year
club today showed that these trav-
ellers left $188,891 ,139 in California's
10 southern counties.
The report of the club, which is
non-profit tourist bureau, oper-
ated for benefit of all southern Cali
fornia, further showed that this
enormous total is a clear increase
of $33, ,127,737 over the sum the
tourists spent in the same area a
year ago. In the year 1885 they
paid southern California $155, ,763,-
402.
Indicating immensity of the years
tourists money, it was shown to be
sufficient to build 80 city halls,
such as the one in Los Angeles, con-
struction of which cost $5,800,225.
Mr.. Thomas said, Eventually the
dollar spent by the tourist filters
into every walk of life. 1t goes
from one channel to- another, keep
ing thousands of persons employed
and hundreds of business concerns
in operation"
More tourists arrive here now in
summer than in winter, the report
set forth. These 'high calibre
spenders" totalled 988, ,729 in sum-
mer and 529,135 in winter, thus
making 1,517864 visitors for the
year.
Much of the gain in summer
tourist traffic was attributed to adj
vertisements of the All-Year club
Starting Is years ago, when scarce
ly any summer tourists were present
the clubs advertising campaign
continuously has stressed the COO
nights of southern California, ex.
perienced at periods when the cas-
and middle-west were sweltering il
the heat.

creation of an exclusive "Shop for
young Moderns," where only high
style apparel will be displayed for
juniors, misses and little women.
With the modernization plans come
new buying arrangements that
will enhance the value of the store
as a shopping center for Imperial
ties. Connections have been re-
Gently established whereby the
store will be in daily receipt of new
merchandise as soon as it makes its
appearance on Fifth Avenue in
New York, and Hollywood. Also
foreign contacts have been devel-
oped, that will enable the firm to
import its own bought goods direct,
from all quarters of the globe.
With the new store improve
ments will come simultaneously, a
general broadening of the King
stores business endeayors, by the
Inauguration of other facilities for
the convenience and comfort of its
patrons, that are only found in the
larger, metropolitan retail centers
of America.

Drivers Warned
Against Evasion
Of State Sales Tax

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Dec. %
Don't buy your car outside of Cali
fornla in the mistaken belief that
you can save money by avoiding
the state sales tax," is the advice
given by the state board of equal
ization to California residents.
The board points out that the
Use Tax Act, passed in 1885, pro-
tects California businessmen from
the unfairness of outside untaxed
competition.
Under the law whenever a sales
tax has not been imposed, a use
tax of three per cent of the sales
price is levied upon the use or con-
sumption in this state of tangible
personal property purchased on or
after July l, 1885. Although the
use tax has been effective over a
year and half, many Californians
are not aware of it or have for
gotten about it.
One who seeks to save himself
money by buying a car outside the
state 10 escape the sales tax may
find it extremely costly in the end
the board points out. Where such
purchase OF a car is made through
a California dealer, the law re-
quires the dealer to report it,
If the sale is not made through
a California dealer, then the pur-
chaser must report it. Failure to
do Sc results in an arbitrary assess
ment Of the three per cent tax, plus
a 25 per cent penalty. Interest is
charged if the tax is not paid with
in ten days after notice from the
state.
Moreover, wilful evasion of the
law or fraud relative to it, can
be punished by heavy fine or a
Jail sentence or both.
The board advises that what ap-
plies - automobiles under the Use
Tax Act, also applies to all tangible
personal property" which is defined
as personal property which may
be seen, weighed, measured, felt
touched, or is in any other manner
perceptible to the senses"

The engine is placed sideways
IN the car, SO that the radiator

cate the motor Is a standard V-8
power plant, such as propels his
present cars.
Although he did not show how
such rear-motored automobile
would look, other automotive en-
glneers said such car would be
susceptible to stream lining in the
nth degree, with bulbous nose and
flattened tail, giving it the appear
ance of tear-drop, which is per-
fectly streamlined by nature.
Ford applied for his patent on
May 10, 1895. 1t could not be grant,
ed until now because of numerous
other similar inventions, here and
in Europe, necessitating lengthy
search of the patent office files.
A few European motor makers
already produce rear-engined auto
mobiles and it long has been pre-
dicted they would be adopted in
America. Several United States
bus makers now build vehicles
with engines in the back, but the
