Nobody cares to edge in on 400,000,000, two-cent-a-day , but a dozen million coolies would be jamming the fic coast if they could get in. We may lay aside as cheery patter the talk that these ‘Buropean and Serb and Slav and Oriental hordes seek ‘our shores to gain an ideal, to acquire individual expres- sion; that they come because of a yearn for freedom, or "a hankering for republicanism; they come for one prin- ‘cipal reason, because there are more pork chops here ‘on, As the last big treasure trove in the country, and one the few left topside this old earth, the Pacific Coast "had better consider this immigration question, not only tic percolation but the intrusion of any alien horde. you take the trouble to visit the employment agencies Of any coast city right now, at the start of autumn, you Will find hundreds of idle American citizens honing for a Ips will see a lot of Legion buttons on tattered is, too. ere are about 115,000,000 million souls in this coun- ; there is considerable evidence at hand to prove t there is no more than enough opportunity, resource, Ww wealth, idle land, for these 115,000,000, their sons ‘and their daughters. America, and especially the Ameri- ' ¢an West, might yet become one place on earth where for family there was a home, and for every worker a fiving job, but it would require a generation's able effort ‘at reclamation, colonization and wise direction to spread ‘Our 115,000,000 where they could get a square deal.

The Galloping Auto Business How would you like to take a whirl, in business for irself, selling autos? ‘Thirty-one thousand auto dealers went out of business a loss of $233,000,000 last year, according to Leroy . Campbell, New York banker, addressing a convention aga nde ' Most of these failures, says Campbell, were due to “lack : figuring when allowing for old cars, lack of we in trading and lack of selling ability.” Most of us imagine that commercial failures usually caused by bad business. But here are thousands of res due to too much business. The victims literally d themselves out of existence. ’ __ A tremendous and fascinating business, the auto game. t now ranks fifth or sixth among all American indus- August the output of motor cars was about 265,000, inst 180,785 cars in August last year.

Tino, the World’s Worst Guesser As a guesser—reverse English—the king of Greece, Constantine—familiarly known as ’Tino—is a world’s champion.

Get a fresh tankful of “Red Crown,” and then feel the strength of your motor. Note the increased power on the hills, Note the smoothness of starting and acceleration. Keep track of your mileage, and you'll find that it pays to stick to “Red Crown.” In six successive Los Angeles-Yosemite Economy Runs, all cars entered used “Red Crown” and nothing else. Here is practical, public recognition on the part of automotive engineers, that “Red Crown” meets the demand for a motor fuel that will vaporize rapidly and uniformly in the carburetor, and be con- sumed completely in the cylinders. Use “Red Crown” exclusively and you will reduce carbon trouble to a minimum, do away with the need of carburetor adjustments, and enable your car to develop the maximum of power and mileage that its makers built into it.
