‘Youngbloods | Have pt Mrs. W. T. Sutton, Interesting Trip Party Covers 8,650 Miles In Month-Long Trip To West Coast Mr. and Mrs. F. J. colon and their party arrived home on Monday night after an §,650-mile swing to the west coast and back, bringing inter- esting stories of beautiful and strange sights. ‘With Mr. and Mrs. Youngblood were Miss Elizabeth Deutsch, Mrs. Youngblood’s sister, and Dorothy Utter, Mrs. Youngblood’s niece. They were gone one month to the day. They left here on June 13, reading ‘westward along a central route which took them to Denver, where they visit- ed Mrs. Youngblood’s brothers, Peter and Frank. From Denver the party struck south to see the Painted Desert and the Petrified Forest in Arizona and the Grand Canplon, and to cross the American ‘Sahara, the great desert which spreads across southern Ne- vada. It was a 300-mile trip across that arid stretch and the temperature was 100 degrees. It was, the natives said, a “cool” day! At Baker, Nevada, where the Youngbloods stopped, they were at the entrance to grim Death Valley and 185 miles from the home of the notorious Death Valley Scotty. At Los Angeles, the party visited Mr. Youngblood’s brother of Kingston, | who, with his wife, had been spending the summer with their son, Robert, a resident of Los Angeles. The Young- bloods also made an effort to visit the Czulegar boys, former residents of Dallas, but missed them. They did, however, visit such widely-known spots as Hollywood, Beverly Hills and othr tourists’ objectives in the section. Cross Famous Bridges Continuing the trip the party drove northward to cross both the new Oak- land and the Golden Gate bridges. tremendous structures which have at- tracted world attention. Then on to Portland, Oregon, where the travellers visited Mrs. Sutton’s brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Welles Booth. The drive along the Columbia River, Mr. Youngblood says, was one of the most beautiful sights of the trip. The family spent July 4 in Yellow- stone National Park. It was the Youngblood's second trip to that park. The party struck its hottest weather at Billings, Montana, where the tem- perature was 110 in the shade, From Montana the party passed through North Dakota, South Dakota, and eastward through Minnesota, Wis- consin, Illinois, Ohio and home, stop- ping in Ohio’ to visit Mrs. H. BK Burg, of Worcester, a former resident of Dallas. They also stopped briefly in Tyrone,” Pa., to visit friends. Most Crops Good From here to Salina, Kansas, crops were exceptionally good, Mr. Young- blood reports, but from that point on farmers had apparently been hard hit and many were plowing their burned crops under. “The dust bowl, course, presented a tragic sight. Mr. Youngblood was especially im- pressed by the Grand Canyon. “Grand of POST SCRIPTS (Continued from Page 1) 1 'coast is clear, the ‘magazine is shoved | across the counter and we flee with i the loot, before we are attacked by less fortunate seekers after “Life”. Because of all this we were more i than mildly interested in some infor- mation submitted this week by our alert Ear-te-the-Ground Department, through whose courtesy we are able to reveal a number of surprising facts iof “Life”. | An official of the company which { publishes the big, weekly, picture magazine is authority for the state- ment that “Life” is now losing about $50,000 a week. | How, you may ask, can a magazine ras successful as “Life” lose that 'much { money. And the answer is that each copy of “Life”, which you buy for ten cents, costs thirty-five cents to pro- duce. The twenty-five cent loss on | each copy must be covered by adver- (tising. “Life” is getting plenty of ad- vertising, but at a rate based upon its original, estimated 250,000 circulation. And for that rate, advertisers who re- served space early, are getting 1,100,- 1.000 circulation, which is all “Life’s” ‘owners can squeeze out of their press- es in a week. | In other words, the advertising in- come is sufficient to cover the circula- tion loss on 250,000 magazines and leave a profit. It is just about $50,- 000 short of covering the circulation loss on 1,100,000 magazines which cost thirty-five cents and net the publisher considerably less than ten cents. | “Life” could. if it wanted to disap- point its readers, hold its circulation to 250.000 and clear a profit, probably. It is taking the loss, then, voluntarily, rather than disappoint readers. And it will, of course, clear a profit even- tually, when rates have been adjust- ed to the circulation. ) , To satisfy as many demands as pos- sible, “Life’s” presses, we are told, are now running twenty-focr hours a day, seven days a week. The first plate for next week's issue is slapped on the press five minutes after this week's issue is completed. New presses are being built, but it takes almost a year to build the kind of a press “Life” is {born on. Those presses, which print "both sides of fine, coated paper at the same time, send “Life’s” pages out at terrific speed. For ink, “Life” uses a { combination of carbon black and nit- ‘rocellulose. As the printed pages pass through a roaring flame, the nitrocel- ‘lulose ‘“‘explodes” and the ink is dried {almost immediately, the page ready for instant binding. On the basis of surveys, “Life” es- timates it could sell between three and four billion copies a week. And if anyone suspects that all this is just ballyhoo for a new magazine we dare them to go out to try to buy ‘a copy of “Life” today. a [Av - MURRAY NEWS— AN EYE TO THE FUTURE Price advances on plumbing and heating equipment, farm sup- PERSONALS Dr. and Mrs. J.
