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

'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.
