niaca with a mora modern cutter has
jaat coma off tha waya for another
mason of racing. Ska has been ro-
ooppered overhauled aad equipped

King George has never hesitated to
say that ha could not afford to build
another big yacht aad last year he
even went so far as to tell yachting
enthusiasts that the Britannia would
have to remain Idle until he had saved
up enough money to fit her out with
new equipment.
Hhe has decided to race the old craft
this year chiefly for the purpose of
reviving the sport and for the benefit
of spectators at regattas as the Bri-
tannia under full salt. In a good hreese
la said to be a sight worth seeing.
Yachtsmen here say the days of rac-
ing big expensive vessels have passed
forever. It has become such a costly
sport they say. that kings are no
longer able to afford It and even syn-
dicates of millionaire sportsmen hesi-
tate to undertake the huge outlay
necessary.

CONTEMPT FINE
MEMPHIS. Tenn. May It. O. V.
Sanders editor of the Memphis Press
today paid a fine of (300 in federal
court on conviction of contempt grow-
ing out of an editorial published last
September in which he denounced the
Dougherty Injunction In the shopmen's
strike.
Sanders aaU:
"The outcome of the case Is disap
pointing in that no way is left open to
test the const it utkxial question ot tree
press. Judge Rosa did not touch apon
an editor's right to criticise the courts
but merely took exception to the word-
ing of the editorial.
-His finding of fact which hardly
would be disturbed by the higher
court would leave very little chance
for a reversal. And. if a reversal were
obtained it would not be a vindication.
but merely a different construction of
the farts.
'Judge Ross found that the wording
of the editorial in which an Injunction
was compared to the exercise of the
arbitrary power of a king waa ridicule
of the court and calculated to influence
the local court In the trial of the case
discussed. This was the case of Jake
Coben. editor of the Memphis LAbor
Review.
It has been decided that It la best
not to fight this case through to the
United States supreme court ss at fit
planned because It la certain that a
better opportunity tor a test case will
develop in time."

SOMEWHERE to fish. Else-
where to golf. Still somewhere
else for the mountains a fourth place
for the seashore a fifth for some
quiet lake.
Why not all in one locality to
satisfy your whim that Jay; or if
you have all five whims in one week
to satisfy all of them and more ?
We are talking about a vacation
land that is "a hundred resorts in
one" a thousand things to see and
do that are different and absorbing.
Cool Summers
Southern California the greatest
summer playground known yes
summer is delightful there. Let the
U. S. Weather Bureau tell you how
cool it is. Here are average figures

tures recorded in a great central city
of this section:
44 Jurats . .06 osffsss
44 July. 70 degree
44 Augusts 71 degrees
44 Septembers 69 dsfreea
The fact is summer is the South-
ern Californian's favorite season be-'
cause all sports are at their best
and it is rainless so you can count on
doing what you plan.
I f you hare but two weeks those
two weeks are all tours in this
strange land. And there's unend
ing variety to entertain you.
A desert like Sahara; wonderful
golf courses cabins in the great quiet
of the mountains; dances at fashion
able hotels ; fishing streams canyon?
ocean beaches orange groves great
moving picture studios all connected
by 4000 miles of the world's finest
motor roads and by train or trolley.
Great national parks and giant for
ests are close by.
You are puz-
zled by one dif-
ficulty only
"what shall we
leave out of to-
day's plans?"
Every vacation
offering is at your
finger tips you
make yours to or
der a diirerent
one for every day if you desire.
You have always wanted to see
Southern California. Why not this
summer ?
