AUTO SHOW TO
CLOSE TONIGHT
LICENSED DEALERS' EXHIBIT
IS DISTINCT SUCCESS
Sales Totaling Nearly $400,000 Re.
ported as Result of Fiesta
Park Affair —Future
Pleasing
Another brief twenty-four hours and
the giant redwood forest Which has I
been the Mecca of auto enthusiasts ;
throughout a joyous week will be ten- i
antless, and no law of forest conser- i
vation can prevent the felling of these
handsome trees; no Audubon society ,
can preserve this bit of wildwood for |
its feathered wards. But the memory
of it all, the artistic scenic effects, the
display of handsome motor cars and
their attendant train of accessories
will live in the minds of the public
and automobile row denizens for a :
long time to come.
Today is the last of the great auto
show of the local Licensed Dealers as
sociation. It has been a phenomenal
success, for it has exceeded the most i
sanguine expectations of the manasre- :
ment in point of attendance and In the
amount of actual business done by the
exhibitors. The total number of auto
mobile sales will reach a valuation of I
nearly $400,000, and the prospects listed
will keep overy dealer busy for thirty i
days.
The great show has not only benefit
ed the auto men. but it has again dem
onstrated to the world that Los An
geles in one more untried field has
proved her ability to take her place
side by side with New York and Chi
cago in events of national Importance.
The show management certainly de
■ serves the public's praise for the able
manner in which every detail has been
carried out and the care that has been
exercised in the protection and com
fort accorded.
Good Roads Aided
More automobile knowledge has been
disseminated in this one brief week
at the show than it would be possible
to glean from books in a lifetime.
And with it all, every motor car "sold,
or every person made interested in
automobiles, has helped along the
cause of good roads.
The attendance at the show by out
of town people has run into the thou
sands, and the interest they have
shown has resulted in a number of
subagencles arranged for in at least
half a dozen nearby cities. Many of
the cars that were sold at the show
were purchased by those living outside
Los Angeles, and this city is recog
nized as the automobile center west of
the Rockies. There are a greater num
ber of makes of cars represented here
than in any other city of the United
States, barring three possible excep
—New York, Chicago and Phila
delphia.
The automobile aceesory people have
also a good week's business to report,
and the motorcycle contingent has
been kept continuously busy. Though
there have been a number of requests
to continue the show, the management
positively announces that this is the
last day, and those who have not as
yet enthused over the big exposition
have this one chance to familiarize
themselves with the almost universal
motive power of the future in both
social and commercial life.
Not all the business of the week has
been done in "joy" machines, for a
number of motor trucks for both light
and heavy delivery service were sold
or contracted for. One year from date
is sure to see more motor-propelled
wagons in this service than those
drawn by horses: for the upkeep is
little and the rapidity of delivery mul
tiplied many fold.
SHOW BRIEFS
A stranger casually remarked to the
Bufflngton people the other day that
the mammoth 72-horse power Thomas
Flyer they had on display would ba
owned in San Diego. Yesterday Capt.
Charles T. Hinds, from the southern
exposition city, walked into the show
and tendered a check for this hand
some $6200 car and will drive it home
Sunday night.
Adolph Jahnke, proprietor of the Pal
ace cafe, purchased another of the
hnadsome show cars yesterday—a $6100
Lozier. ,
The Marmon racer In which Ray
Harroun broke all records from twenty
to 120 miles has been the feature of
the .Wade Motor Car company's ex
hibit. This car Is to be driven in the
Ascot races by Scott Wade, as Har
roun has a newer and larger Marmon
on the way which he will use in those
races. , *
The "Glide Scout" shown by tlfe
Shafer-Goode company Is one of the
novel exhibits. It has 4x40 wheels,
122-inch wheel base and 14-inch road
clearance.
ALONG AUTO ROW
This has been an active week among
many of the motor companies that
were not represented at the show.
The Burkhard-Crippen Motor Car
company has been holding an opening
and house warming the past four days
fit its newly finished salesrooms and
garage, corner of Grand avenue and
Pico street, and the display of Lex
ington and Interstate cars has been
most complete.
The Pacific Motor Car and Aviation
company has had a double bill at its
own show In the Marble palace on
Flower street, for not only are the fa
mous White steamers and gasoline
cars resplendent in all their polished
newness, but a full-sized Curtis bi
plane is set up and exhibited for the
benefit of all visitors. Many who
were not here at the aviation meet
have taken this opportunity to see
their first real airship.
STANISLAUS ROADS ARE
FAVORABLE TO TOURING
Recent rains In Stanislaus county
have left the roads in the beet condition
they have been in for years, according
to Archie Scott, a prominent mining
man of La Grange, Cal., in a letter
mailed from Modesto to the local Stude
baker branch. Scott, who uses his
Studebaker touring car In that county
continuously, says the fine sandy loam
of the roads there drains easily and
leaves them free from chuck holes and
hard as cement streets.
One of the most delightful trips for
motorists in that part of the state Is
to drive to Knights Ferry via Oakdale.
The big diverting dam at La Grange,
tin; largrest in the world, is also the
Mecca of many motorists.
Scott says many eastern tourists with
their motor cars are visitors daily to
the points of Interest at Stanislaus. The
valley route seems to be the favorite
for San Pranclsco-Los Angeles runs.

DRY FARMING
METHODS URGED
USE OF HARROW WILL BENE
FIT CALIFORNIA CROPS
SECRETARY WIGGINS SAYS SOIL
HOLDS MOIST STORE
Agriculturalists Importuned to Inves
tigate and Follow Teachings
of New School of
Tilling
Instead of calling down maledictions
on the weather man for the continued
sunny weather which Is drying up the
grain crops, Frank Wiggins, secretary
of the chamber of commerce, says the
farmers should get out their harrows
and put into practice what they have
learned about dry farming.
"We have ample water stored up In
our land after the past five wet sea
sons to mature this season's crop and
still have water left to help out on
next year's crop, if we can persuade
our farmers to investigate and follow
the teachings of the new school of
dry farming," said Mr. Wiggins yes
terday, in discussing the crop con
ditions.
"Nearly every semi-arid country on
earth, including California, sent del
egates to the last Dry Farming con
gress, and our farmers would know, if
they had read up to date on these mat
ters that the harrow would save us
a crop under the present weather con
ditions.
"If middle western states can raise
a crop of grain with eight inches of
rain without any humid coast influ
ences and where the evaporation is
much greater, surely California can
do as well or better if we profit by
their methods.
"The middle western farmer learned
because he had to, and the chances
are we will have to learn in the same
school.
"If any farmer will take the trou
ble to go out in any field that has not
been worked since the last rain, and
examine the surface of the soil, he,
or she, will find small octagon shaped
cracks. The heavier the soil the wider
and deeper the cracks will be, and
there is a constant evaporation through
every one of these cracks.
"Harrow them and the evaporation
is stopped. Don't be afraid to harrow,
for even If it rains your crop will be
benefited. Should it continue dry the
harrowing will make the difference be
tween success and failure."

Rich Woman Seeks Man
Who Will Post $25 Forfeit
Chief of Police Galloway Is Asked to Act as Cupid's Aide and
Look Up Woman Who Would Become Bride
of Chicago Professor
CHIEF OF POLICE GALLOWAY is
not Cupid, Coes not resemble one,
neither does he conduct his office
as a matrimonial bureau in anywise,
and objects to being one by proxy. As
a rule he tosses communications from
lovesick- swains and marriageable
widows into his waste basket, but one
he received yesterday smacked a little
of a bunco and he requested Captain
of Detectives Flammer to investigate
the identity of a "SIBO,OOO widow," who
desires to become the wife of Pro
fessor S. Konieczka, 1547 North Hoyna
avenue, Chicago.
The fact that a woman who said
she possessed $180,000 in real estate and
other property, would require a pros
pective husband to forward $25 as
"earnest money" aroused Chief Gallo
way's police instincts that "all was not
as it should be." Professor Konieczka,
in writing to the polite chief, Inclosed
a letter he had received from the
woman, who signed the name "Mrs.
Charles B. Cutler." She required him
to address his mail and the order for
the $25 to the "Arcade station."
Accomplished Letter Writer
His communication to Chief Galloway
was as follows:
"Dear chief, your honor.
"1 am a Temperance Polish bachelor
and i reside 30 years in Chicago, i
have a clear record arjl of a Business
and Mecanical Ability, i have my own
furniture and am keeping house for
myself, i am 40 sears of age, but i
look to be 25. i am a lover of home
and am intelligent love children and
am a good Roman Catholic.
"Dear chief i have received a letter
from a Widow from your to town ask
ing me to send her 255. Dear chief i
am tired of living alone and all i ask
of you Dear chief if you can help me
out In this case, that is to find out if
that Lady that represents herself as
a Widow is worth 180,000$.
"I will make you a present of a
hundred dollars if i marr that woman,
i am a poor tachelor and intend to
stay a bachelor all my life, but if i
get a rich woman then i will marry
i don't want her money, but i want to

The letter the Chicagoan received
was written in Los Angeles February
8. The author said a woman friend
had given her Koni czka's name as a
person who desired a wife.
Tells of Charms
"I am a Catholic, and weigh 148
pounds," she wrote in describing her
personal charms. "I am 37 years old,
5 feet 8 inches tall, and am a dark
blonde. My hair is heavy and I am
considered good looking for my age. I
do not look more than 30. I am a lover
of home and good horses.
"My husband has been dead for more
than two yeurs, and I have $180,000 in
real estate and money. As I am not a
business woman I have lost over $3000
in the last year in poor investments,
and allowing unprincipled men to beat
me out of it. I would like to get an
honest, kind man who will treat me
right and who will try to make money
out of what I lave, and try to live
so that we could enjoy it. I want to
get some man like yourself who has
been alone and know what it would
mean to have a good wife.''
After declaring that her woman
friend must accompany her, should
they agree to meet in Chicago, the
woman said:
"I am willing to come to Chicago at
my own expense, and I will pay hate'
of the expense for her. Now if you or
your friend you speak of will sond me
the other half of her fare we will come
there as soon as possible. I do not
care which of you sends the money,
but one of you or both send me $25
to show that you mean business and
that we will be met at the train. If
you send it I will repay you and do
more than that if you do your part.
"I do not need your money. If you
are an honest man you will not try
some other plan, but will send the
money and ask us to come on. I am
in deadly earnest. Are you? 1 get
my mail at my residence, but I want
this to come at the Arcade station so
I can surprise our friend. She does
not know I have written, so I want
to surprise her."

SLEUTH ON WILD
GOOSE BURGLAR HUNT
Mirrored Light of Auto Lamp Starts
Detectives to Scouting Among
Stores Along Broad,
way
The reflection of an oil lamp, at
tached to an automobile standing at
the curb, in a small mirror in the pic
ture store of Bonner & Co.. 124 South
Broadway, caused a passerby to im
agine that a burglar was at work in
side and a hurry call was sent to the
detective bureau last night.
Detectives Hawley and McKenzie
were dozing in their chairs, waiting
for something to happen, when the ;
telephone rang and an excited voice
jerked out the brief statement that a
bold, bad safe-blower was preparing to
crack a safe in a store on the east side
of Broadway between First and Sec
ond streets.
The officers buckled on their revolv
ers, pulled their hats over their eyes
and hurried out of the police station
with visions of capturing a desperate
burglar in time to prevent the theft
of a large sum of money and the prob
able wrecking of the building and a
loss of life.
Spurred on by the further vision of
being complimented on a clever piece
of work and being awarded medals for
their daring arrest, the detectives
quickened their speed by running, and
on reaching Broadway began peering
Into each store, hoping to locate the'
right place and effect the capture
without having to resort to their re
volvers.
After examining each store until
they reached the entrance to the
Chamber of Commerce building, one of
the officers remained on guard while
the other hurried to a telephone and
asked the detective bureau for further
information. On 'earning that the
criminal was at work in the Bonner
& Co. store the detectives, as one man,
seized the knob of the door and tried
to get in. They stopped suddenly be
cause the door was locked.
The detectives then rushed to the
big show window and peered in. They
stepped closer to get a better view.
Then they noticed the shadow of a
man and almost instantly the light
went out. The officers then stepped
to one side to get one more look before
attempting to enter the place. As they
did so they heard the whirr of a gas
engine, and looking behind saw a
chauffeur about to start an auto that
had been standing at the curb. As the r
auto moved away the light moved
along inside the store, and when the
motor car had passed the window the
light vanished.
The detectives, not satisfied, took
another glimpse into the place and saw
their own shadows reflected on the
glass.
They looked at each other. The
mystery dawned on them and they
slowly sauntered back to the police
station to wait for more excitement.

course of lectures at Columbia uni

for men who are willing to work witU
their hands than for men who want to
live by their wits. The 900,000 immi
grants who came to our shores last
year served a far better purpose than
would an equal number of universlty
graduates with hands uncalloused ami
minds unwilling to begin work at tho
bottom of the ladder."
