" Nllf ill : 1? WZM' I Giant Beams of Whit Oak Make "Old Iromkies" Anew ARCHITECTS and builders t- throughout the country. Lave ong been familiar with the beau y and durability of oak flonrt. Architects know that the interior iecorations and furniture are en hanced by floors of oak, with their ich, warm glow. Builders, with an eye to the prac jpal, recommend their installation ot only because they add materi lly to the sale value of the home, ut because they will last as long s the home itself. , Recently, the durability of Ameri an oak was graphically illustrated, 'y popular subscription money was aised to rebuild the famous frigate "onstitution. The American pub c was not willing that "Old Iron ides," with her glamorous naval i story, should become a memory. When the Constitution was 'aced In dry dock at the Boston ."avy Yard it was found that time, ..ore than enemy shot and shell, ad played havoc with her wood- ork with everything except oak. Jp to the time of the launching of he .''s&?bkllM a navy" no na ioFRiUlhre oak in ship uilding. Today, as the work of The Famous Frigate, With All Sails Set, Flying Before A Stiff Breeze rebuilding the famous frigate goes on, it was found that only about 12 per cent of the original ship ex isted; all the rest has been restored at various times. Only the live oak, forming the backbone of the vessel, has kept her together and made it possible to restore and rebuild her. Paul Revere, who wrote to the Secretary of War that he could furnish them "as cheap as any one," supplied the copper bolts and spikes which held the oak backbone in place. And now oak again is to be used in malinfej the Constitution anew. Just as jme best materials obtain able were placed in "Old Ironsides" lat tailing Bean SuuKmcd Under Water Pet Seventy Years by her original builders, so. ths same material! will he used in re storing the hull ,t happened thai a Commodore'i Pood, Pfeneaeola manystons of law oak had beet sabmerged fot us" in buildlni wooden; frigates. The war that free the slaves, -who gathered this wooa saw the passing of the wooden fighting ship. These great. beams, stored away for nearly 70 years, have beea shipped to Boston. To date 1,605 large pieces of oak, weighing nearly a ton apiece, havt beea received at the navy yard. Admiral Philip Andrews, in charge of the work of reconstruc tion, is asking the public to sub scribe 240,000 more to finish th work of rebuilding the famous ship. When she is completed it is planned to sail her to every larg American port. All the Pacific coast is vitally concerned in seeing California vote $6,000,000 in bonds, which will provide for the acqulsltjon of ad ditional parksites, believes E. A. Crowley, general manager of th j Pacific Highway association. No better Investment can be made' by the, people of jCallfornla than in purchasing $12,000,00tf worth of park properties at ha'.f made la Amendment 4, Crowley firmly believes. It ; is Istipulated that every dollar expended by the state through the S f ,000,000 bond issue must be matched by a dol lar donated" from various sources, public and private Sites selected will be 'determined after ay com prehensive surrey In which their value to the entire state will be demonstrated. . "Once the word goea out to the world that California his had the forethought to save its sequoia groves. Its sunny- beaches anc many of its natural; wonders through the approval of this bond issue, additional inducements will be offered to tourists to come to these new pleasure grounds," he points out. "On their way, many will visit the Northwest knd all the Pacific coast will benefit through increased tourist : traffic. ,Pour cents a year per capita is all these parks will cost California's tax payers. The corporations pay this state's taxes, and no individual need worry about parting with four cents a year far these parks." 0 -."I v7 5vv f ' :: m i.

Such is the word Just received here by Otto J. Wilson, Buick dealer, from a scout party dis patched to HornAtos in a Silver Anniversary Buick sedan. .

"Such a pro ject would add another important link to the ehala of improved ar teries leading to historic points up and down the Pacific coast. "The state of Oregon has per petuated the pathway of Ezra Meeker with its magnificent Ore son Trail; In California the roads into historic Death Valley have lately been put in good shape; the road to Fort Ross where the Rus sians early established a Califor nia settlement, has been improv ed; a new bridge has been erected at Emigrant Gap, and countless Other pioneer localities have been favored with smooth highways. Why, then, deny the romance of picturesque Hornitos to the auto mobile tourist?" f The Buick speedometer showed the distance to Hornitos from the mala highway junction at Turlock to be 39.fimiles over a road large ly dirt-surfaced, and narrow and C MnU rough In many portions. Arriv ing at j the old mining metropolis with Its crumbling adobes and ancient store buildings, the Buick scouts were guided about the set tlement by one of the own's oldest merchants whose memory went back almost to the midst of this mining country's halcyon era. Iron-Shuttered Buildings The; old Wells Fargo building still stands on the town's main business street still romantically challenging the highwayman with its heavy iron doors, was pointed out. It was to this building that the miners brought their gold to be weighed and from which the pony express regularly left with its precious cargo. A California historical society recently adopted this aged depot as a permanent memorial. Close by was seen the ruins of the old Ghirardelil build ing in which the later chocolate king of the Pacific once conducted a general merchandise store.

"It you drive your car 2500 miles a year on improved rbadsia Oregon you save $75 over what 'it would cost you to drive tbe same number of miles over a dirt road," said Phil Metschan. director of the ; Oregon State Motor association recently? . - ' ; ; "Types of road govern' the operating cost of a motor car as well as affect property values ad expedite traffic," continued Mr. Meschan and drew attention to the fact that a motor car, travel ing at a moderate rate of speed over a well-paved road, costs around three cents per mile less to operate than when mvoing over a dirt road. He bases his statement on figures secured from the re search department of the A. A. A. "While it has been known for many years," he continued, "that, modern highways increase prop-i erty values, it remained for eco nomists to figure the actual saving to the car owner as a resuu oi reduced operating costs. N "Assuming that an average car owner traveled 2500 miles over , a paved road in the course of a. year and the same distance over dirt road, the operating cost or his car would be $75 less over the former' ,. . Mr. Metschan declared that th3 argument alone should convince the skeptical that improved roada are like gilt edge securities, wjui a definite monetary return. "In operating school buses.
