it was due to a voice burbling from the radio which announced In a matter-of-fact way, "Did you know that the last World War gave the United States 50,000 new millionaires?" He was only about 1000 per cent too high, if the United States revenue figures are correct. Fig-tires, of course, aren't of very much importance these days except at the Main St. Follies, but I began to wonder just how many folk listening to that particular broadcast believed what they heard. BUYING roVKU The worries of millionaires never have bothered me and never will but a lot of people do spend their time worrying about other people's money and you constantly hear the cry that the rich want war because war makes the rich richer and the poor poorer. Chap named O.

Watts says the only thing of importance is the buying power. He cites figures proving that the total buying power of Americans whose annual incomes were above in 1913 was cut in half 191 1 and 1921 while the total buying power of Americans whose annual Income was under $5000 before 1911 was 7 per cent greater by 1921.

Along the county's 100 miles of coast line some 11 beaches offer sand, surf and sun for the taking.

Sand-boarding is the mode this year, however. It's done by running along the water's edge with a flat, smooth, wide board, tossing it down on the wet sand then jumping on it and skidding giddily along into the dying breakers. It requires considerable equilibrium and the ability to scare people out of your way. Other folk practice tumbling, rub themselves with oil, paddle kayaks, eat hot dogs, "body surf" the breakers, ride paddleboards or throw wet sand at each other. Mrs.

Deputy sheriffs were unable to determine who fired the fatal bullet from a high-powered rifle as it was estimated approximately 70 hunters were in the vicinity at the time. The lad's father, George Madison, reported to officers that he heard a shot and a shrill cry from his son while he was several hundred yards away in Horse Trail Canyon near Liebre Mountain.

He hurried to the boy, who died in his arms. There were no other hunters in the immediate area, but a half-dozen, who had heard the shot and the subsequent cry of pain, appeared on the scene in a few moments.
