POPULATION GROWTH
(Santa Monica OutlOOk)

tSanta vi MOnlca OutlOOk)
One of the most interesting proofs Of
the great war increase in CalifOrna's
population is found in the recent report
Of motor car registrations in the state.
AS is we'll known, there are some mil
lions fewer cars in operation in the ma
tiOn than four years ago, vet 4465 more
cars are registered and operating in Cali
fornia than in 194l. Oregon and Utah
also show increases while all the other
states record decreases.
The registration increase in the last
year is even more marked. There were
2,454,339 registered May 81, 1914, and
2,501 1884 in May Of this year, an increase
in trucks, motorcycles and pneumatic
tralers.
When it is known that passenger cars
are going into the discard at the rate of
1865 cars every day in the nation, these
figures for California become ncreaS-
ingly impressive.
It is fair to assume that each passen
ger car represents at least two people.
If that is correct, the car registration
would indicate an addition of nearly 10O
900 to the states population during the
past year
This is only one index of growth.s
Everybody knows that California's pop
ulation has been increasing very rapidly
the past four years, and the car registra-
tion figures give one indication of the
number of new people who have come
and still are coming to the state.
Farming is real business requiring
courage initiative and, above all, hard
work. =. The people to whom work and
initiative and responsibility are disagree
able should never elect farming as

CITATION FOR CARRIERS
(Christian Science Monitor)

(CnrlStlan Science MOnltOr)
If and when awards are bestowed for
hOme-front tasks we'll done, recognition
should be accorded a group which was
second only to the radio networks in the
relaylng OF news from the European
and Pacific battle fronts. These were
the boys from 10 years old up in thou
sands cf Americas cities and towns who,
irrespective Of weather, dutifuily deliv-
cred the evening papers.
When the nations normal routine was
sadly disarranged by the demands Of
war. these youngsters proved equal to
the emergency. There were times when
the laundry was late and when the milk
man didn't deliver at all. But the daily
newspaper seldom failed to arrive reg
ularly at hOuseh6lders' doors. This was
not surprising to those who had watched
the paper boys" wade through three
foot sn0Wdrifts, or u the case of spring
floods, resort TO rOWbOatS to carry their
routes.
Delivering newspapers certainly brings
out the businessman in boys Because sub
ScriberS expect the paper to be on time
(and frequently telephone the office
when It isn't), they absorb the principle
Of prOmptneSS. Since they are expected
to make good any losses, they are eau
tious in their collections. That many of
them have bank accounts indicates that
they are learning the lesson of thrift.
A surprising number Of substantial mer-
chants along Main Street owe their sue
cess to such training.
For another thing, these newspaper
carriers sold millions Of dollars of war
bonds and stamps to customers. A we'll
earned gOod-cOnduct medal to these
hOme-front ''infantrymen."

CUTBACK BEGINS ON
MATERIALS FOR WAR

The government is losing no time in
starting cutbacks on construction of pro-
posed war construction and on much
already under way. Some idea of the con-
tinuOuS preparations to carry on the war
IL the Pacific was disclosed when the
Navy ordered StOppage on nearly 100
warships Of various types. A big share
If this cutback was represented in ships
already started.
But even with this stOppage we still
have the largest navy in the world.
On the heels Of this announcement it
has been made known at Washington
that plans speedily are being completed
for inroads on war procurement. For
months, these moves have been dream.
Now they are reality and the govern
ment faces task equally as great as that
of constructing for victory.
Leading in the procurements division
for immediate and drastic slashes are
air-force items, service-fOrce items and
petroleum products. In the Army proper
all these items have been running around
$500, 100000 annually, while the air
force calls have aggregated $750,0O0, 900
4 wear Estimated slashes include about
80 per cent in the service-force catalogue,
~ IOI IllS an IOICt anu up " NJ pei NCilN
on petroleum.
Ammunition and weapons naturally
will come in for immediate curtailment,
and this will be close to 100 per cent.
Ar-force combat supplies also will be
Slashed to the zero mark.
The overall plan calls for continual
ton Of work on experimental models and
certain items required for the Occupa-
tionaI forces in the Pacific.
From this point on the overshadoWing
task Of recOnversion to civilian prOduc-
tiUn moves in and it is hoped that ad-
euuate and workable machinery is ready
to be set in motion in that direction at
once after it all is over in the Pacific.
Similarly, it is hoped and believed that
the government is all set for release of
many other controls, in production and
in manpOWer
We are about to enter an economic
sphere never before made necessary or
undertaken and there will be the need
for sound judgment and fine, full CO.
operation between the government and
industry with the public keyed to fit into
the new picture.

WE START TAKING OUR
FIRST STEPS AGAIN

Already we are "learning to walk
again" Or so it seems, as the first indica-
tion Of more of this and that begins
to show. Why, Just the other day, as
usual we cautiously and in whispers
asked for package Of cigarettes. The
girl behind the counter smiled-yes, she
really did that-and spoke right up 50
everyone near might hear, "You may
have two packs, mister Not being the
fainting kind, we attempted the same
nonchalant air as that of the so-sweet
young lady, and took two packs. How
ever, we shall need greater fortitude or
nOnchalance or plain endurance when,
s0meday we shall confront a pleasant
butcher with case filled with ham, For
this ordeal, we humbly pray for strength.
All Of which is to say that 1--WE are
on the road back after the years of war
and the very necessary restrictions,
which, despite chiseling, black marts and
a lot Of grousing, the American public
has taken in its stride. 1t will all come
back by degrees, as it probably should,
rather than all happening overnight.
We have done we'll through the war.
Let us do even better in moving back
into normal and happier channels of
living.

Teotihuacan means "City of the
Gods" According to history, the
Aztecs held their religious services
here. In front of the temple was
plaza. In the corners of this plaza
were low pyramids. Each had steps
leading up to the top which was a
fiat surface. Here, it is said, that
the people sat while they observed
the ceremonies. There was also
higher pyramid where the emperor,
his court and the mobiles sat. In the
center was another pyramid to
which the human sacrifices were
brought.
The loveliest maidens and the
strongest youths were chosen for
these sacrifices. On the appointed
day, the young people would as
semble and march slowly into the
plaza to the accompaniment of the
drums. They would not weep or
wiring their hands because it was
considered a great honor to be
chosen for the gods. When they
reached the sacrifcial pyramid they
would lie down. The priest would
then cut out the hearts of these
young people with a sharp stone.
He would then carry it still warm
