HEALTH OF THE SCHOOLS Radical Changes Proposed In Construction That Medical school inspection will bring about relief measures for overworked children is the prediction of a state board of health member in discussing the child-health agitation in California. "If a stockman," he says, "should find as much emaciation and general physical debility among his colts as school health directors find among children he would think that the bottom was going out of his business. Undoubtedly the poor health of the school children is caused largely by one-sided dieting, illly ventilated school rooms and bed chambers, indulgence in tea and coffee, late hours, the munching of candy between meals and the like; but it is obvious also that plain brain-fag ranks high as a pre-determining factor. The fact that peasants in some parts of Europe develop a high grade of physical fitness in spite of one sided dieting and in spite of other conditions that would be considered deadly in this country may be taken to indicate that some powerful negative force is undermining the vitality of our children. "If psychologists are correct in asserting that six hours of mental application is as exhausting as nine or ten hours of manual labor the man who carries the hod for eight hours gets off easier, proportionately, than does the growing daughter who has a school day of five hours and a quarter, studies at home an hour or" PRODUCTS OF FORESTS Lessening of Waste in Manufacture and Use of Wpod Washington, D. C., April 24.—An event of importance to the wood-using industries of the country and to engineers is the completion of the Forest Products Laboratory at Madison, Wis., and June 4th has been set as the date for the formal opening. The laboratory has been established to aid, through experiments and demonstrations, the lessening of waste in the manufacture and use of wood. It is a cooperative undertaking between the U. S. Department of Agriculture and the University of Wisconsin. The state has erected for the purpose a new building at the university and will furnish also the light, heat and power. The department of agriculture has supplied the equipment and apparatus and will maintain the force of thirty-five or forty persons required to carry on the work. Through this arrangement, the United States has secured perhaps the largest and best equipped wood testing laboratory in the world. A number of vacancies in engineering positions in connection with the work will be filled in May and June. Among these are positions of engineer in wood preservation, engineer in timber testing, and chemical engineering. These positions will be given to men with a basis of thorough engineering training, or two or three years' experience in practical work. The laboratory will be prepared to make tests on the strength and ot be considered deadly in this country may be taken to indicate that some powerful negative force is undermining the vitality of our children. "If psychologists are correct in asserting that six hours of mental application is as exhausting as nine or ten hours of manual labor the man who carries the hod for eight hours gets off easier, proportionately, than does the growing daughter who has a school day of five hours and a quarter, studies at home an hour or more, and besides helps the mother with the house work. In not a few families the school hours of the child are as long as the office hours of the parent. But in the afternoon when the paternal ancestor is throwing off a care at the golf links the child works a dolorous hour at the piano. In the evening when poor brain-weary papa is dozing over his paper or loafing at the club the young scholar passes the time with fractions, algebra, Latin conjugations, or other equally restful branches of school study. Father foots the dentist's and doctor's bills with equanimity on the assumption that his child is "delicate," and that being sick or ailing half the time is a part of the growing age. "The fact that California educators are keenly alive to the school health situation promises relief to the children of this state. It is an encouraging sign of the times when an enlightened superintendent of public instruction publicly comments on the absurdity of spindle-legged boys being loaded down with books for evening study. "One of our state normal school presidents recently made the statement that the color line was debarring his children from the kind of education he wanted them to have. If his children were black, he said, they could attend Tuskagee where they would work half a day in the school room with their brains, and a half day in the open with their brains and their hands. There is no doubt that a combination of book and manual education such as he suggests would reduce the strain on a set of faculties that at present is being sadly overworked. The result would be that much better health conditions would prevail among our children. Sunny California is immeasurably kind to our children, and it is doubly incumbent on the people of this state to attain a degree of physical fitness which will at least equal that attained by the ignorant peasantry of inhospitable foreign countries." A number of vacancies in engineering positions in connection with the work will be filled in May and June. Among these are positions of engineer in wood preservation, engineer in timber testing, and chemical engineering. These positions will be given to men with a basis of thorough engineering training, or two or three years' experience in practical work. The laboratory will be prepared to make tests on the strength and other properties of wood, to investigate the processes of treating timber to prevent destruction by decay and other causes, to study the saving of wood refuse by distillation processes, to examine the fiber of various woods for paper and other purposes, and to determine the influence of the microscopic structure of wood on its characteristics and properties. Facilities are at hand, in fact, for almost any kind of test on wood that practical conditions may require. Lumber manufacturing and wood-using industries are keenly interested in the work on account of its practical bearing on reducing waste of wood—to them a subject of vital concern. Already they have proposed many experiments and supplied much testing material, which is awaiting attention. SURFACE WATER SUPPLY The Geological Survey is publishing a series of reports on the surface water supply of the United States as determined by work done in 1907-8, each report covering a definite region. The report on the surface waters of the North Atlantic Coast has just been published as Water-Supply Paper 241, which was prepared by H. K. Barrows and R. H. Bolster, under the direction of M. O. Leighton, chief hydrographer. The report covers all Atlantic Coast streams from St John river to the Rappahannock and includes descriptions of the streams and tables showing their flow in second-feet. A special feature of the report consists of estimates of discharge during ice conditions. Streams in New York and New England showed abnormally low water during the years 1907 and 1908. The value of the work in determining water available for municipal water supply and water power and devising means of flood prevention is generally admitted and cooperation was given by the Maine State survey commission, the New York State water supply commission, the water wood testing laboratory in the world.

The play was given as one feature of the graduating exercises of the class, which will be an exceptionally large one. The characters were all taken by students, and the production was well handled. D. L. Daley, father of F. H. Daley, president of the Farmers and Merchants' bank of this city, who has been here for the past year, has departed for his home in Emmetsburg, Iowa. Mrs. M. O. Smith, formerly of Fullerton, but recently a resident of Long Beach, left Monday for San Francisco, where she will take steamer for Honolulu, where she expects to spend a year with her daughters, Miss Ruth Smith and Mrs. S. N. Bobs. H. R. Day, in the employ of the local telephone company for some time, has gone to New York, where he will make his home. Mr. and Mrs. John Rohn left on Saturday for a visit with friends and relatives in Florence, Col. James Little of Detroit, Mich., arrived Saturday to make this city his future home. Shipments from the Fullerton depot during the past week were thirty-one cars of oranges, five of cabbage, two of hay and one of trees. Streams in New York and New England showed abnormally low water during the years 1907 and 1908. The value of the work in determining water available for municipal water supply and water power and devising means of flood prevention is generally admitted and cooperation was given by the Maine State survey commission, the New York State water supply commission, the water supply commission of Pennsylvania, the Maryland state weather service, and other state and local organizations as well as by many private firms or companies, indicating a wide interest in the work. The state commissions of Maine, New York, and Pennsylvania are now taking a very active interest in the development and conservation of the water resources of those States. The work involves surveys and studies of reservoir sites and the determination of the grades of rivers and of the water power available for development. In order that this work may be done thoroughly it is important that the quantity of water available and its seasonal distribution be carefully studied for a long period before any money is spent in construction on large projects. The preliminary hydrographer work may be considered a form of insurance against the misapplication and loss of large sums of money. J. E. Pleasants, county bee inspector, has returned from Fresno and Tulare counties, where he went to acquaint himself with the dreaded European or black brood. He comes back urging that Southern California take steps to keep out this foul brood. Orange county has passed an ordinance necessitating the inspection of every shipment of bees that comes to the county. Co-operation of beemen with the inspector is necessary to insure the fullest protection. RESTS manufacture 24.—An wood-us and to of the Madlbe been set opening. Established and de of waste of wood.

Seared to and ot- SAN BERDOO REMAINS WET Drys Defeated at Special Election on Monday By a majority of 465 San Bernardino declared against the prohibition movement at the special election on Monday. The sweeping victory of the "wets" surprised even their most sanguine workers. The campaign continued over a number of weeks and became intensely bitter as the day for a decision was reached. All told there were 2506 legal votes cast out of an estimated registration of 3000. By an agreement among the saloon men all the eleighteen saloons in town closed their places of business and did not open until Tuesday morning. The sweeping victory scored by the liquor interests is credited to the pronounced attitude in favor of the saloons taken by some of the leading business men of the town. They declared in published interviews that victory for the prohibition ordinance meant business depression for years. The victory is a great disappointment to surrounding towns, whose residents stormed San Bernardino Friday and at a public meeting held at the pavilion urged the voters to stand for temperance, promising the town the bulk of the trade from Highland, Rialto, Colton and other busy sections in the citrus districts. Notwithstanding the heavy defeat suffered the temperance people announce that the fight will be continued and at the first opportunity they will submit the question to the voters again. A NOTABLE OIL FIELD McKittrick-Sunset District a Great Producer—Yields Wealth California now stands first among the states in production of petroleum, which is its most valuable mineral product, gold at last ranking second. In 1909 the state produced between 50,000,000 and 60,000,000 barrels of oil, valued at about $30,000,000. This enormous production has naturally attracted general attention to the oil fields of the state; which are now being actively explored and exploited. A report on the McKittrick-Sunset oil region, in western Kern and eastern San Luis Obispo counties, prepared by Ralph Arnold and H. R. Johnson, has just been published by the United States geological survey as bulletin 406. The region covered embraces about 1800 square miles and includes the most productive territory of the McKittrick, Midway and Sunset fields, and the undeveloped or less developed Devils Den, Temblor, and Carrizo Plain districts. Large areas of public lands in this region have been withdrawn from entry pending legislation or reclassification. The petroleum deposits of this region were known long ago, but have been developed principally during the last ten years. Most of the land is not valuable for agriculture, so that the settlement of the area has been due entirely to the development of the oil industry. The McKittrick field produced 2,517,951 barrels of oil in 1908, the Midway field produced 410,000 barrels. BAY CITY The season opened in Bay City on Sunday with a perfect throng of visitors in warm weather clothes. One thousand patronized the bathing and boating at Anaheim Landing, while at the other end of the town all accommodations were taxed to the utmost. Bathing suits were everywhere in evidence, and long before noon the manager of the bathhouse announced every suit in use. The cool ocean breeze made picnicking on the beach a delight. On Saturday night one enterprising automobilist, unable to find accommodation in the overcrowded town, put a tarpaulin from his machine to a neighboring sand dune and his family of six camped for the night uunder its shelter. Speaker Stanton enjoyed a rest in "Owl's Nest" in preparation for another busy week. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Dyer of Anaheim, in their sevven-passenger Cadillac, were among the motorists. A conservative estimate places the number of machines that came over the new highway at 300. Ice Cream In forms of FLOWERS and FRUITS—Just the thing for WEDDINGS. BANQUETS and PARTIES.

Johnson, he was ascending a hill, when the power gave out, and in attempting to hold the auto by the brake, the brakeband broke, and the machine ran backward over an embankment, making three revolutions before stopping. The others escaped injury. The butler of a Scottish laird, who had been in the family for years, resigned his place, complaining that his lordship's wife was always scolding him. "If that is all you have to complain of," said the master, "you have little excuse for leaving." "I'm not going to put up with it any longer," was the answer. "Go then," said the laird, sighing, "and be thankful all the days of your life that you are not married to her." Extras for all mowers, at Stern & Goodman, Fullerton. The Seven Wonders of the World were: The pyramids of Egypt, the Pharos (or lighthouse) of Alexandria, the walls and hanging gardens of Babylon, the temple of Diana at Ephesus, the statue of Jupiter at Olympia, mausoleum of Artemisia, and the colossus of Rhodes—a brass statue seventy cubits high (about 105 feet). Of these wonders only the pyramids remain. Of the great and wealthy city of Babylon nothing is left but mounds of sunbaked bricks. The temple, tomb and statues have been destroyed and only their names remain. Modern days show many more stupendous achievements of man's activity than the seven wonders of the ancient world, but probably none more artistic. Washington, April 23.—According to present indications immigration to the United States for the fiscal year 1910 promises to reach 1,000,000 people, if the record for the nine months of the year is maintained. The March arrivals were 136,745, and for the nine months of the fiscal year, 667,949. It has been several years since the immigration figures reached the million mark, the last year being 1907, when 1,285,349 aliens were admitted to the United States. Of the immigrants who were admitted during March, 110,270 were male, and 26,689 female. Of these, 8400 were Germans; 31,806 from the south of Italy; 2203 were Polish, and 4906 were Greek. For the first seven months of the fiscal year, that is from July to January last, inclusive, 102,109 immigrants were debarred. Of these 209 were kept out because of insanity or feeble mentality in some form; 1665 because they had a loathsome or dangerous contagious disease; 7,768 because they were liable to become a public charge, and 859 because it was charged, they were contract laborers. The immigration laws provide that for good cause, immigrants who have been in this country for some time may be sent back. In that category the immigration bureau for the seven months returned to the country whence they came 422 persons because of insanity or other mental conditions.
