ALL COMBINE TO
BOOST RAISIN DAY
Railroads, Hotels, Wholesale
Merchants, Retailers and
Bakers Join Campaign ,
[Special Dispatch to The Call]
FRESNO. April 24.— As the commit
tee that has been working during the
last four weeks on the Raisin day
campaign enters upon the last week of
its labors some idea may be given of
the scope of the coming celebration..
In the first place every railroad in
the United States and Canada has been
aiding the committee in its work, and
on Raisin day the majority of the.se
roads that have dining car service will
have raisin menus all day and souvenir
menu cards will be published.
In addition to the railroads, several
thousand wholesale merchants, dealing
in almost everything imaginable, are
boosting for California Raisin day.
Through the businessmen of this city
about 5,000 letters were sent to whole
salers throughout the entire country,
asking them to advertise Raisin day.
About 3,500 answers havce been re
ceived and in every instance help has
been promised.
SI-V HUNDRED HOTELS HELP
\u25a0 Literature is being sent out daily to
these dealers in order that they may
use it before Raisin day. This includes
posters, Etickers and recipes. More
than 600 hotels throughout the United
fatates are now boosting for Raisin day
and 12.000 letters are being sent out to
American bakers asking them to bake
raisin bread.
A. L. Hobbs, chairman of the Raisin
day committee, and Fred Shoup of the
Soufhern Pacific stated recently that
the publicity given Raisin day this
year had been much greater than that
secured during the 1909 campaign and
better results may therefore be ex
pected.
The present week, the final one in
this campaign, will be devoted almost
entirely to the sending ou*. of the re
maining literature on hand and prepar
ing for the big carnival which is to
take place Saturday night.
SEVERAL TO\V.\S TO CELEBRATE
Fresno is not the only city that is
planning a big Raisin day celebration.
Practically all the smaller towns
around the country have elaborate pro
grams for April 30. The people of
Kingsburg are preparing to hold a gi
gantic picnic next Saturday on the
banks of the Kings river. At Sanger
a big program of sports has been ar
ranged, including a ball game. Among
other towns that will furnish amuse
ment for their citizens on Raisin day
are Hanford, Fowler, Selma, Reedley
and Parlier.
Raisin day headquarters were kept
open today to mail a quantity of lit
erature which had to be sent out, but
only necessary work was done. The
voting booth for the carnival queen in
Courthouse park was deserted, but
the contest will be resumed with vigor
tomorrow morning.
Several local lodges are arranging
to hold picnics at the Kings and San
Joaquin rivers. April 30, but the mem
bers will be back in time to participate
in the carnival festivities In the even
ing.

California north of
the Tehachapi.
BAKERS and confectioners— all of you in California between the north
side of the Tehachapi and the Oregon line — here's a challenge and a
chance for you.
Housewives and cooks other than professional bakers and confectioners
— all of you in California within the same north and south boundaries —
here's the same kind of a challenge and a chance for you also. i
A handsome sterling silver cup is offered by The Call for, the best loaf
of raisin bread baked by any baker or confectioner in the territory described.
Another sterling silver cup, equally handsome, is offered by The Call for
the best loaf of raisin bread baked by any housewife or cook, not a pro
fessional baker or confectioner, in the same territory.
The sole restriction, beyond the geographical limitations already fixed,
is that none but California raisins shall be used. So go ahead, bakers, con
fectioners, housewives and cooks. Begin experimenting right away. See
what you can do with one of the finest delicacies California produces.
Three of the best known chefs in California have consented to act as
the committee to judge the bread and award the silver cups. They are:

stating whether the maker is a professional or nonprofessional cook.
The awards will be announced in The Call on the morning of the 80th.
1 Clubwomen and Their Work
MARY ASHE MILLER
Little more than a month of club
work remains before the closing of
the club year for the summer vacation.
This seems one of the wise provisions
of the women's organizations, as is
also the rule which pervails in most
of them of having the annual elections
at practically the last meeting.
Feminine enthusiasm is apt to be so
great that it eventually reaches a point
where a diverting of the mind to other
channels is necessary to prevent a
faint loss of interest, or such intense
concentration that it assumes almost
the state of consecration.
As to the plan of conducting the
political campaigns just before vaca
tion, the virtue of that lies in permit
ting the lapse of time to eliminate or
soften such differences as may arise
from the heat of election excitements.
Hardly any one is so seriously angry
as to remain at boiling pitch for three
months or more and a new president
might find her ,path less easy if she
had not that brief time of grace to
live down the wrath sure to be oc
casioned in some direction by her suc
cess.
\u25a0 '\u25a0'<* * *

I C. C. Darnall, president of the Black
motor car company of New York, build
ers' of the "Black Crow" car, has been
in the city for several days. Darnall
has come west to look over the auto
mobile situation.
In discussing the outlook for the
coming season he said that many buy
ers think that all the talk that there
will not be enough cars to supply the
demand the coming year is the talk
of the press agents of the different fac
tories, but they will find out onlytoo
late the truth of these statements. /
"We found that there are a few cars
now to be had, but these will soon be
exhausted." he said. "The selling sea
son in the east has not yet really
started and when.it does there will be
no cars to be^had.
."With us, we have disposed of our
output with our agents and are now
making preparations for our next year's
models. Many people have not heard
much of the "Black Crow" car ,and
think that it Is one of the many firms
that have come up over night. In this
they are mistaken, for. it is but one of
the many thinjrs manufactured by the
Black company. We have made farm
ing implements for years and know
what we are producing when we put
this car on the market."

Outdoor motor carnivals to be held in
the fall, as a successor to the present
'nstitutlon of in
loor winter auto
nobile shows were
suggested recently
:o E. C. Morse,
general, sales manager of the Hudson
motor car company.
Morse looks with favor upon the sug
gestion. He believes it would be well
to set aside a week — "Motor Carnival
week" — with races or other entertain
ment relating to automobiles added
and the display to be held in the open
— in late October or early November.
"It is a distinctly new suggestion,
and deserves consideration," says
Morse. "I believe much could be
gained if the Idea were adopted."..

Marquis, the racing driver of the Isotta
says of the tires:
"Regarding the Fisk tires which you
put on the Isotta Targia Floria for the
motordrome races, I can hardly .s,peak
too highly of their endurance under se
vere work. I have ridden in many
races during the last four years and
have used almost every make of tire,
but must say that I never rode with a
greater feeling of safety than in the
50 mile race with the Isotta car at the
motordrome, when after driving in six
other races on the same set of tires
during the three days preceding, at
the terrlnc speed of a mile in 45 sec
onds or under, I drove the 50 mile race
making the world's record for speed,
39 minutes 20.5 D seconds, and the tires

NOTES OF THE AUTO
An -interesting story comes from an
English motorist, who tells how he
gavi a representative of the police a
short course of instruction with regard
to speeding. He writes: "A stroke of
luck befell me last week. I was com
pelled to take a long journey through
a district exceedingly malodorous from
a police point of view. As soon 'as I
struck the haunted locality, I overtook
a solitary constable tramping .amidst
pouring rain in the same direction as
myself. I stopped and found ¥ could be
of great service to him, as he was face
to face with a six mile walk to catch a
train for a place that lay on my route,
and I therefore "gave him a long lift.
He informed me that he spent much of
the summer In trap work, and I re
solved to give him a complete demon
stration. I began t>y covering my
speedometer and giving him a lesson
In speed Judging. He invariably esti
mated our speed at about 60 per cent in
excess of our real figures. Next I
made a brake demonstration, and
showed him in how short a distance we
could pull up at 20 or 30 miles per hour.
Finally as we had to pass through four
10 mile limits, I showed him by the aid
of my invaluable speedometer what a
ridiculous speed 10 miles per hour is
We burbled through the limits with
the needle glued to the '10,' and I drew
his attention to the reckless and in
considerate cyclists, traps, cabs and
perambulators which sped past us as we
clung to the legal maximum. When I
dropped him he said, 'Well, sir, you've
opened my eyes, you have!' Inciden
tally I averaged nearly 30 miles an
hour over this territory, and thanks to
his protecting presence no one inter
fered with us. I made him keep count
of our average, and he admitted that
we had shown every possible consider
ation to other road users, and that at
no part of the road had there been any
conceivable danger to ourselves or to
others. I will add I am normally con
ten/, with the legal limit average, but

BODY FOUND IN
BAY IDENTIFIED
Woman Believed to Have Been
Dance Hall Waitress and
Farmer Actress
The woman whose body was recov
ered from the bay Friday was identi
fied yesterday by J. H. Ackerman of
42S P,aciflc street as Jennie Forast..a
waitress in a Barbary coast dance hall.
Ackerman further volunteered the
statement that she had been a vaude
ville performer on the English and
American circuits and also had ap
peared In repertoire. In support of
this identification Joseph, the 12 year
old son of Policeman P. H. Murphy,
recovered a purse from the bay near
the spot where the body was found
while fishing yesterday, in which was
a card of Jennie Forast, some bar
checks of a Pacific street saloon and
some small silver.
Except In the music halls, Jennie
Forast was practically unknown lo
cally. She was but 38 years of age
and somewhat prepossessing.
All the Information gathered by the
police yesterday as a result of their
investigation of the case tended to sub
stantiate the belief that the woman
committed suicide and was not the vic
tim of foul play.
