A series of 6 photos shot at Legion Ascot Speedway at the end of the 1930 Pacific Southwest Season for client Dayton Manufacturing Company ordered by Nelson Price of The Weinberg Agency from Dick Whittington Studios. by Dayton Manufacturing Co.

"Francis Quinn, who today receives the beautiful Dick Dodd's (sic! ) Trophy symbolic of the 1930 Pacific Southwest Championship, needs no introduction to the race fans of the Legion Ascot Speedway. He has long been one of the most colorful and spectacular drivers on California tracks and has won himself a host of admirers. Always a clean sportsman and ever willing to give the other fellow a break he typifies all that is clean and fine in the great international sport of automobile racing. At the beginning of the season he had a lot of luck, and it was all bad, but he quickly over rode his many difficulties, and once started, swept on to the Championship. Francis plans on even a greater year in 1931, and for some time has been building a new race car which he expects to have finished and on the track some time in February, with this new car he feels justified in hoping to win the title two years in succession. He will also receive today the beautiful Carrol Photo Service Trophy, which is awarded to the driver, who, with his pit crew, makes the neatest appearance throughout the year. The winning of this trophy is very commendable and bespeaks the characteristics of a champion. (Additionally, Quinn's #8 Dayton Thorobred Special won second place, both in points and in the Frank Verbeck Trophy for best appearing cars)."

Description Photograph of the title page of an issue of The Submarine, "The Most Lowdown Newspaper on Earth", Riverside County, September 1903. The cover stories for this issue under the rubric of "The Undertow" are on various topics. One column speaks of the Department of Agriculture's Professor Millen Whitney's discovery that all soils contain generally the same components useful for the growing of crops. Another column depicts Louis Gathmann's invention of a mechanical automobile airship. Another article speaks of Consul-General Richard Guenther's announcement of the discovery of a South American plant which will replace sugar cane and sugar beet. The last column lists General Land Office's Commissioner Richard's statement regarding the budget for public irrigation projects. At the top of the article, a line beneath the title reads, "Published 76 feet below sea-level--weekly". Row beneath this line reads, "Vol.2 No.42, Coachella, Riverside County California, September 19, 1903, $1.50 a year".

Full text THE MOST LOWDOWN NEWSPAPER ON EARTH. THE SUBMARINE PUBLISHED T6 FEET BELOW SEA-LEVEL—WEEKLY VOL 2 NO. 42 COACNEUA, RIVERSIDE COUNTY CAUEORNIA. SEPTEMBER 19. 1903. $1.50 A YEAR i I »A»vtftfV)A'af_i»«' -uv«*«i*_in»»».»iv«*«»«»* One of the scientists of the Department of Agriculture, Prof. Milieu Whitney of the Bureau of Soils, has made a discovery which Secretary Wilson regards as of the utmost scientific and practical importance. Prof. W. has found that the amount of plant food found in all kinds of soils is about the same, thus exploding the popular theory that one soil is richer than another, so far as the quantity of food it contains is adapted to the growing of crops. The reason one piece of ground will yield better crops than another plot adjoining is yet to be found, in the view of Prof. Whitney. He believes the difference in yield is dependent upon the Condi lion and kind of cultivation and rotation of crops, maintaining certain necessary physical conditions in the soil under which thisjplant food can be used. This discovery will have the effect of raising doubt, i f on I y i n the minds of Prof. Whitney and his associates, as to the value of the fertilizing materials in increasing the crop. Having determined that there is as much plant food in one piece of ground ^l^Utanother, the scientist will now have ^determine what element^ there ar^tliat produce a good or a bad yield. Prof. Whitney's conctusioiiSMM^ based upon an analysis by new and exceedingly sensitive methods, by which the amount of plant food in the soil moisture itself, which jam great nutritive solution for the support of crops, has been determined, and not by digesting the soils in acids, which attack the inert mineral matter of the soils. While the conclusions appear to be in conflict with the conclusions held for so many years by the agricultural chemists, they are in strict conformity with the experience of godd farmers in all countries. The fertility of so I is shown to be due to physical causes which control the supply of water and plant food which it contains, as the soil moisture in all cases appears to be about the same in composition and concentration. The fertility is, therefore, controlled by physical cause and the chemical examination of a soil cannot be expected to indicate the yield of a crop. O Louis Gathmann, inventor of tIty Gathmann shell, has invented a mechanical automobile airship which he believes will solve the problem of aerial navigation, He has worked out the machine with huge fans measuring 36 feet from tip to tip, which revolve at a speed of 260 revolutions a minute, and push gig the air from underneath cause the car to rise f.om earth into air. The fans are on huge spindles operated by a double gasoline engine. Gathmann has already constructed a model which he Says clearly demonstrates that the airship of the future must be a purely mechanical contrivance based on scientific principles, and not constructed on the idea of flying birds any more than steam en- mes or automobiles should have beell\j>atterhed after running horses./^^e inventor has pro*, vtded that eacfKhorse-power shall have a lifting powt^of 33 pounds. Thus two engines can>xarry together 33,000 pounds, ot^&OOO pounds more than the acta weight of the ship. Gathmann will probably bring his invention to the attention of the B :ard of Ordnance and Fortifications for the purpose of securing a l allot-* ine#t for ihe^dflsB^tion of a large model. # The Agricultural Department is inquiring into the statement ef Consul-Gederal Richard Guenth- ner that a%new plant has been discovered in South America that promises to supplant the sugar cane and the sugar beet. Scientifically the plant is known as Eupatorium rebandium, and it contains a large amount of saccharine matter and a high per centage of natural sugar properties which are easy to extract. According to Mr. Guenthner, a lump the size of a liver pill will do the business in a cup o-coffee, as the product made from the plant is from twenty to thirty times sweeter than cane or beet sugar. It is said to be easily cultivated in countries having climatic conditions similar to those of the southern part of the United States. Commissioner Richards of the General Land Office has issued a statement showing that approximately $8,461,494 was placed in theU. S. Treasury to the credit of the^eclamation fund from the sales of public lands and fees in the various irrigation states in 1S03. The irrigation projects of the government will be carried on by means of this fund. The statement shows that an aggregate of $16,197,836 has been received from sales of lands in the variubs States during 1901, 1902 and 1903, for use in furthering irrigation plans. The total received in 190l was $3,144,822,
