The drive can be made safely in about thirty five minutes. But Jim would feel ashamed of his record if he ever took that long. So, by “stepping on her” hard, he manages — to make it in twenty-five minutes, and sometimes less. The other day, in fact, he did it in twenty two minutes—a saving of thirteen ,minutes over the time taken by more conservative pilots. That saving of time is a great boon to Jim. It permits him to spend ten or fifteen minutes talking about golf to the boys at the cigar stand, or reading the funny papers. And the day he made his:record he spent the saved time, plus quite a few minutes more; boasting about it. Of course, Jim\has to weave in and out of traffic _occasionally, cursing the slowpokes. who move along at a sedate forty five. And sometimes he has to steal a right of way. Now and then he misses a crash by an inch, and after the first flush of nervousness passes, he chuckles to himself about what a good driver he is. Once he did have a minor accident, but the insurance company paid for that: There are a good many thousand Jim Joneses driving cars in this country. They go on for years with nothing hapCurtains!! pening to them—and then the inevitable occurs. rive in less than forty hours! _r_ A streamlined streak of light steel and aluminum, racing across California and out over the old Overland Trail, where once lumbered the colorfully cumbersome covered wagons— . a swift zephyr on wheels, sliding lightning fast along where once chugged, laboriously, the old iron horse.

He says each district has been asked to get three or more men to help in the construction of a permanent concrete pile dock in Kil born Lake, to replace the old delap idated swimming float which coul no longer be used with absolute safety, without considerable repair. It is hoped to secure enough’ men who ean help Saturday as well as Sunday. Materials will be taken up Friday for the nine pile, 12x16 structure which will be placed about 125 feet from shore. This was one of the projects for camp improvement discussed at the executive board meeting held at Kil--born Lake last Sunday and attended by between 30 and 40.

With the coming of . 10-mile-an-hour speed on the rails . as a regular, scheduled thing, we are witnessing the beginning . of a new era in transportation. There is greater contrast be. tween this sleek speedster and the awkward steam dinosaurs still in use, than there was between the stage coach and the iron horse that ended its reign decades ago. What would the pioneers have thought about all this airconditioned plush luxury in which men noiselessly except for radio music; taking along private bed-. rooms and a kitchen, for all the world as though in a hotel . catapulting across the country? Not much, we fear. They'd have thought we'd grown soft. But if slow ruggedness was the first requirement in their age, in ours comfortable speed is the thing. many milestones such as this first “flight” of the “City of San Francisco."

Cleveland, Ohio.—Almost a complete reassertion of the Constitution of the United States, in the face of three long’ years of attack upon it by the New Deal, was the platform adopted by the Republican National convention here. To its restatement of the Ameriean principles of a national liberty based upon personal liberty-.was. added the vigor of a telegram from Gov. Alfred M. Landon of Kansas, making clear his interpretation of certain important planks as the unanimously selected’ nominee of the party for ‘the Presidency. ; The platform roundly condemned the New Deal for the President's usurpation of the powers of congress; flaunting the Supreme court; violation of citizens’ liberties; countenancing dan gerous monopoly; passing laws contrary to the Constitution; violation of the Bill of Rights, and repudiating the obligations. and traditions of the nation. It deplored federal waste and use of public funds to politicai ends; unfair investigations ; intimida tion of industry; Coercion of voters; appeals to class prejudice and destruc: tion. of public morate. A summury of the platform follows: Constitutional Government and Free Enterprise We pledge ourselves: 1. To maintain the American system of Constitutional .and local self government, and to resist all attempts to impair the authority of ‘the Supreme court of the United States, the finai protector of the rights of our citizens against the arbitrary encroachnents of the legislative and execitive branches of government. : 2. To preserve the American system of free enterprise, private eompetition, and equality of opportunity. Re-Employment. The only permanent solution of the unemployment problem is the absorption of the unemployed by industry and agriculture, (To this end, the platform advocated abandonmert of al! New Deal restrictive, competitive and coercive policies—especially those which restrict production.) Sanne, Relief. To end confusion, pertisanship. waste and incompetence, we pledge: 1. The return of responsibility for relief administration to non-political local agencies familiar with commnnity problems. \2. Federal grants-in-aid to the states and territories while the need exists, upon, compliance with these condiin 2) NTN ws ran or tions: \(a) a fair proportion of the . total relief burden to be provided from the hevenues of states and local governmenisy (b) all engaged in reiiet administration, to be quate provision ty be made for the encouragement of Mose persons who . are trying to become, self-supporting. 3.

Every American citizen over six; ty-five should receive the supplementar; payment necessary to provide a Minimum income sufficient to protect him or ber from want. 3. Kaech state and territory, upon
complying with simple and general minimum. standards, should receive uated contribution in proportion to its own, up to a fixed maximum. 4. To make this program consistent . federal . revenues for this purpose must be pro. § from the proceeds of a direct . will be . jm witth sound fiscal policy the vided tax widely distributed. All benefited and all should contribute. We propose tc practical measures for meeting the probleins of unemployment insurance, Labor. We pledge -ourselves to: Protect the right of labor to organize and to bargain collectively through representatives of its own choosing without interference from any source. Prevent governmental job holders from’ exercising autocratic powers over labor. Sarg Support the adoption of state laws and interstate compacts te abolish sweatshops and child labor, and to protect women and children with respect to maximum hours, minimum. wages and working conditions. We believe that this can be done within the Constitution as it nowestands, Agriculture. Following the wreck of the restrié tive and coercive AAA, the New Deal administration has taken to ‘itself the principles of the Republican policy of soi] conservation and land retirement. This action opens the way for a nonpolitical and permanent solution. Such a solution cannot be had under a New Deal administration which misuses the pregrum to serve partisan ends; te promuce scarcity and to limit by coercive methods the farmer’s control over his ‘own farm. eee Our paramount object“is to protect and foster the family type of farm, traditional in American life, and to Quartz and placer -claim location notice blanks at the Nugget office. ° ~. selected on the . basis of merit \und fitness; (c) ade. determination of the , encourage adoption . _by the states und territories of honest “and What is the best—most practical most livable, house which can he built in Northern California, at a cost of $5000 or less?
