UNUSUAL PROGRESS Pointing to the fact that 1.250,-000 more inhabitants of California are living off the industries of the State today than in 1909, Mr. Daum declared California is making a progress never before approached any other State. Quoting figures furnished by the California State Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Daum said the value of agricultural products of the State 192S was $700,000,000, the value mining products being a total of "The value added by manufacture, in that year, amounted to $1,030,000,000, which was only less than the total of the Wi'ishire at Westmoreland Floor at Westmoreland -those petite chocolates and crystallized fruits made exclusively for BuIIock's-Wilshtre tinier, daintier, more pieces to the pound and deliciousness itself with those tangy mint, crisp nut and luscious fruit centers 200 the pound Fifth Floor Miss Berger has been on trial for.

nearly two weeks on charges of aid ing in the making of false and fraudulent income-tax returns for Dorothy MackaiU, -screen actress. AGENTS HEARD The session yesterday closed with the testimony of internal revenue agents regarding the income-tax returns of various film players who have testified. It is expected the government will complete its case some time today. Mrs. Marion stated that she made up the red cash books at the suggestion of Miss Berger, but it took her three months to make up one of them.

She said some items were true and some were fictitious. Correct Uniforms for the maids the nurse the cook Wiishire Boulevard Of fcnLj Hi -u I if. i 1 1 1 I fi ii ,1 George F. Marion followed his wife on the stand and testified that ho signed his income-tax return without having read it. It showed a gross income of $85,000 for 1927, he stated." OTHERS TESTIFY Dorothy Sebastian, screen actress, completed her testimony regarding' a little black cash book she had kept, but stated that most of the items of deduction were wrong.

King Vidor, actor and director, said it was suggested to him that David Howard, his secretary, be put in the tax return at a salary of $10,000 a year, and that was done, but that the secretary was paid only $3000 a year. Howard later testified to essentially the same facts. The case will be resumed today. at BuIIock's-Wilshire, a wide assort-ment of correct uniforms that always consider the hour, the function and the mode uniforms for maids. 2,00 to 25,00 irruforms for nurses, 3,00 to 13.75 1-uniforms for cookf, 3.00 authentic service advice ir aessred Third Floor at Westmoreland ir" other principal productive wealth items of the State agriculture and mining." said Ue speaker.

"That explains how California progressed among the States from away down at the end of the line to eighth place in 1927 and probably to sixth place at this date, in the total value of manufactured products. STEPS TRACED "California has gone through all the preparation to make of it an industrial State," continued Mr. Daum. "Mexican land grants hava been divided into ranches, many of which have been subdivided into city lots. Agriculture and horticulture have been developed to an extent unrivaled anywhere on earth and our fruits and farm products are distributed more widely than the products of any other State.

"Raw and crude materials are being developed by hydroelectric power which is in excellent hands. Har. bors are being built and improved and excellent domestic transportation is in the hands of strong railroad companies, well financed and splendidly managed. In addition to the three great lines now in operation, the Great Northern Railway is knocking at our northern door for entrance. One great railroad company recently spent $20,000,000 within this State, the 'whole profit in return on the investment being based on our future industrial progress.

In recent years other lines have made similar investments. Such evident foresight on the part of large business concerns certainly does not furnish grounds for a pessimistic outlook."
