Conn of the California Vlneyardists Association, gives' promise of adequate -marketing facilities for a portion of the output, at least, of California grape growers.

Grape products are legion, and there Is no doubt that widespread advertising, a prominent feature of the campaign proposed to be undertaken by this merger, will increase their use greatly in the American home. In co-operation with the Federal Fruit Stabilization Corporation, such an organization as Fruit, Products, should be able to go far In disposing of the bountiful yield of the vineyards.

Japanese marriage. The American-born Japanese are exceedingly adaptable, thrifty and prosperous. Most of them own automobiles; but they go to the auto show to inspect new models and shop up and down automobile row for their new cars Just as other American-born men and women do. There are few points of contact between the Japanese and the Caucasians of Los Angeles. A small percentage of the Nipponese are employed in American homes as cooks, valets, house boys, maids, etc.

The vast majority are in business for themselves, in large or small fashion. They are hard workers and very thrifty. Four or five years after he leaves school and embarks for himself, in no matter what capacity or field of endeavor, your average Japanese boy has a small competency, a start in life. He is not likely to lose it thereafter. For he is cautious, crafty, conservative and careful.

He needs to look out for No. One and he does so, very persistently and successfully. In the public schools the Japanese children come in contact with the white American children and American teachers. Usually, they, the Japanese school children, are very apt and eager to learn and often apply themselves more diligently and dutifully and progress more rapidly in their Job of learning than do their little white competitors. In and around about their children center and concentrate all the hopes and affections and ambitions of your Japanese father and mother.

In them they live and move and have their being. On them they pour out a wealth of love and devotion and self-consecration and self-renunciation almost unknown to your Occidental parent And they receive in return affection and devotion and stories oi Japanese ousiness enterprise, "signed" all in English, and filled brimming over with Japanese merchandise of a variety and origin confusing to the American, queerly Jumbled with American goods of every price from the growers and from the market Sometimes the trouble is that the older generation merely does not understand.

This is no real estate promotion. The places have been sold already and the owners, we understand, all feel pretty much as Volgt does. It's cited here Just as an astonishinj proof of what can be done in Southern California. Chicken Promoters Why Fly the Coop There are all sorts of chicken ranch propositions. Some, lately, have promised so much that their promoters have had to fly the coop.

But there are others which don't promise every purchaser Aladdin's ring or Cinderella's fairy godmother thrown in with every lot The Duarte colony seems to have been one of the latter. Voigt tells us that he retired from business back In Ohio three years ago and came to Southern California to look around. He had some money to Invest In business, but got pecked by the chicken-ranch idea. He'd never raised chickens, but that row of houses charmed him. They were built to get lots of sun and air, and on top of each was a sun parlor, or roof garden.

There are appropriations to fight the pests that trouble him, but the city must fight Its own. One reason why criminals defy government successfully is' because they do their utmost Americanism: A frenzied affection for the player who is lucky; a bitter scorn for him when he misses a hard chance.

He was Just following the army, begging to be taken in, when the battle started, and Joined in for the fun of it. After that he became a regularly enlisted member of tho Fourth Tennessee Infantry. Shortly before Christmas, 1925, J. W.

In 1848 he joined the Richardson party in quest of Franklin, but, as nothing resulted, he started three years later with an outfit and covered more than 5300 miles of the frozen north, mostly on foot. He mapped another 700 miles of new coast on Wollaston and Victoria Lands and got a couple of fancy gold medals for the task. Naturally that gave him courage.

M. BYERS. DO YOU KNOW PARIS? The Sorbonne has undertaken the task of attempting to dispel various illusions about Paris, says the Christian Science Monitor. Too many visitors, it appears, come to the French capital with preconceived ideas, and they contrive to see precisely what they expect to see. They carry away the Impression that Paris is a center of amusement It Is, of course, to some sense true that parts has become the world's playground.

But that is not all. It Is also an artistic, intellectual and industrial center. The new course at the Sorbonne may do something to correct this one-sided view of Paris activities. The city is world-famed for Its gayety, but this fcsyety Is of two kinds. There is, first, the fictitious gayety deliberately prepared for the foreigner usually, indeed, by foreigners.

There Is, secondly, the true gayety which consists in a peculiarly French attitude toward the experiences of human existence a smiling attitude which Is not easily disturbed.
