STATE HIGHWAY UNDER RAPID FIRE GUNS DEFECTS IN THE ANAHEIM-SANTA ANA SECTION REPORTED TO ASSOCIATED CHAMBERS STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSION WILL BE ASKED TO APPOINT INSPECTOR FOR COUNTY Orange county's highways and some of the defects alleged to have been discovered in the state highway system were discussed by able speakers at the Associated Chambers of Commerce meeting at Huntington Beach last Wednesday evening. Charles Eygabroad, chairman of the good roads committee of the Associated Chambers, set the ball to rolling by stating that he and H. A. Wassum had gone over the state highway between Santa Ana and Anaheim, and had found a good deal of inferior concrete base. There were plenty of places where the concrete could be dug out with a small pocket knife, and where travel was dishing out the concrete. These bad spots are strips generally about four feet wide across the base, and sometimes ten or twelve in 150 yards. County Surveyor McBride said the state had not accepted the road. He and Division Engineer Clark of Los Angeles went over the base a few days ago, and saw the defects. Clark said the state would not pay for the road until all those bad spots are torn out and rebuilt. The oil surface has not been put on. Eygabroad moved that the State Highway Commission be asked to appoint as inspector for good roads work One is in oak and the other in black walnut, and they are the work of Milton H. Jones, who resides on Artesia street, Santa Ana. He is an invalid and has employed himself in making the boards. He has studied the different kinds of wood so as to put them together in the way they blend best, and the result is attractive and unique. The oak board consists of 22 kinds of wood from all over the world, with California woods predominating. All of the mountain woods came from the trail north of Pasadena, built by the sons of John Brown. There are woods from Marengo avenue, in Pasadena; from the Philippines, East Indies, Hawaiian Islands, Australia and Garden Grove (golden color). It took from 26 to 27 years to gather all the different kinds of woods used. There are 2,943 pieces of wood inlaid in the oak board, each piece being inlaid one-eighth of an inch deep. The real labor on this board would be worth $50. The border is of the Australian rose wood, with a fine strip through the center of eucalyptus, and the corners are of red mahogany. Other pieces are of mountain mahogany, English walnut, vermillion, orange wood and live oak from Lucky Baldwin's ranch. In one corner is the red manzanita border. The keola wood is from the Philippines. There are no two squares alike in either board. The black walnut board has 24 kinds of wood, cut into 2,810 pieces and the labor on this is worth $35 to $40. The corners are of live oak. A MEXICAN PRISON PEN Horrors of Old San Juan D'Ulloa as Revealed by the American Occupation Rear Admiral Fletcher in his report to the navy department on his taking over of old San Juan D'Ulloa, the fort and military prison which stands on an island in the harbor of Vera Cruz, said: "There are in the prison 43 persons who have been sentenced for crime, 75 who have been accused of crime but have not been brought to trial and also 325 who have not been accused of any misdemeanor whatever. These 325 were arrested mostly within the last year." PUMPING PLANTS Information Given Regarding Their Construction Power piston or plunger placed where the water is obtained a surface source or where there near the surface of the ground lift to the point of delivery in consists of one or more cylinders each one of which a piston moves backwards and forces the water into the cylinder it up the discharge pipe. The cylinder has only one suction pipe one discharge valve, the most piston in one direction cause and the displacement in the direction forces the water to discharge pipe. With two sets so arranged that there is an equal displacement of the pump is known as a double pump. When the pump has doors, it is known as a duplex with three cylinders, it is pump, and in either case may double acting or single acting cylinders with the driving pulleys are assembled and height above the water plane must not exceed the suction pressure of the pump pend on the diameter of the length of the stroke off and the number of strokes per minute. The sizes of pumps and their ties vary with the different actuators. For small capacities acting single piston pump mast deep well pumps are used with water plane is at large depth on the ground surface. A deep consists of a brass cylinder operate two plungers with a lower plunger is connected which fits into a hole which the upper piston is. The plungers are so operated driving power that the pump acting, one plunger moving the other moves down, so a continuous discharge. An indier and connected to it... travel was dishing out the concrete. These bad spots are strips generally about four feet wide across the base, and sometimes ten or twelve in 150 yards. County Surveyor McBride said the state had not accepted the road. He and Division Engineer Clark of Los Angeles went over the base a few days ago, and saw the defects. Clark said the state would not pay for the road until all those bad spots are torn out and rebuilt. The oil surface has not been put on. Eygabroad moved that the State Highway Commission be asked to appoint as inspector for good roads work in this county some person recommended here. This motion carried, with the stipulation that the good roads committee do the recommending. A. A. Mills said he did not think the action would have the slightest effect. It was stated that inspectors must pass civil service examinations. Wassum wanted to know if there were bad spots in the county paving between Main street and Batavia on Chapman, West Orange. Chief Engineer Finley of the County Highway Commission stated that the contract for that work is held by O'Conner, the same man who has the state highway contract. Finley said that there are a number of pieces of bad concrete in the county contract. These will have to be made good before the county accepts the road. Engineer Finley as the new head of the engineering department was called on by Gustave Stern, the president of the Associated Chambers. "I hope that this body and all the people of Orange county will take as active an interest in good roads construction and the work that is going on as it has in the past," said Finley. "Thorough investigation and your being constantly on the job is a good thing for all of us. The board and I invite investigation of every phase of the work. We hope to get the best results in the shortest time and at the least possible expense." L. H. Wallace went forth on a quizzing expedition. He wanted to know why a little traveled road like Laguna Beach road should be given six-inch additional concrete at each edge, while other roads where there is beet hauling and other heavy traffic have not that additional strength. Finley declared he did not prepare the plans for the Laguna road, but he thought it was a wise idea and that it would be the policy of the department to build all future roads with that six-inch border. The reason the border was put on, according to Engineer Halladay, was because the road is only 16 feet wide. The question of telephone switching was introduced by A. A. Mills who stated that the Associated Chambers has brought a complaint before the Railroad Commission asking that interswitching of telephones be ordered in this county. Mills said the Associated Chambers should employ a lawyer to see the case through. Attorney Brown of Orange said that Orange is interested in the matter as it has but one telephone system. He said he believes an amicable settlement can be made in a conference, and he asked that a conference be encouraged. The general utilities committee was given power to Rear Admiral Fletcher in his report to the navy department on his taking over of old San Juan D'Ulloa, the fort and military prison which stands on an island in the harbor of Vera Cruz, said: "There are in the prison 43 persons who have been sentenced for crime, 75 who have been accused of crime but have not been brought to trial and also 325 who have not been accused of any misdemeanor whatever. These 325 were arrested mostly within the last two months in order to be forced into the federal army, and for no other reason. "The above data was obtained from the Mexican officer in charge. The conditions in the prison under which the 325 men are living are described as frightful." The admiral recommended that the 325 against whom no charges were pending be released at once and that the remaining 118 be held for investigation. Secretary Daniels wired at once to release the 325 prisoners and to use his discretion about the others. The inference is that Admiral Fletcher intends to clean up the old establishment. Hercules, when he undertook the job of cleaning the Augean stables, had nothing on the admiral. 386 Years Old For 386 years the castle has stood. It has been buffeted by hurricanes, sacked by bucanneers, bombarded by Spain, France and the United States (in 1847) and by corsairs and pirates and scourged by cholera and yellow fever, but never, unless one's senses of sight and smell are traitors, has it ever been touched by scrubbing brush or vacuum cleaner. It is not hard—at least it was not in the old days—to get a permit to visit the fort and prison. All one had to do was to lie a little. "Only an officer of an army is allowed to go through," said Consul Canada. The same Canada is there now. They used to say that he knew every shark on the reef by name. "Have you ever seen military service?" "Most certainly—in the high school cadets." So He's a "Captain" "That's all right," said Canada, and he wrote a letter to the commandant of the port, introducing "El Capitan." And the commandant, who wore a heavily braided uniform which seemed too tight for his thorax, wrote a permit for the captain—of the high school cadets. The atmosphere was heavy with odors and glooms on the little island. When the rowboat slipped in the shadow of the grim, massive castle one shuddered. And shivered and shuddered alternately. The thing was over. A villainous guide led the way. Up stone steps and down stone steps, where green slimy moss bubbled out of the cracks, along cold corridors, peopled with shades; past human skeletons who held up their claws and offered peachstones carved into grotesque monkeys and miniature baskets, and mumbled "Por Dios," and past sears in the pavement beneath which Horrors of Old San Juan D'Ulloa are revealed by the American Occupation Deep well pumps are used water plane is at large depth on the ground surface.

He said he believes an amicable settlement can be made in a conference, and he asked that a conference be encouraged. The general utilities committee was given power to act. Get-acquainted trips were advocated by J. F. Ahlborn who wanted them accompanied by all the members of the Associated Chambers. He said he would like it to be a great occasion with scores of automobiles in line. The matter was referred to a committee, Ahlborn, F. R. Aldrich of La Habra and T. B. Talbert of Huntington Beach. Standing committees for the year were appointed by President Stern as follows: Ways and Means—W. A. Zimmerman, chairman, Santa Ana; Dr. M. V. Marshburn, Yorba Linda; A. Nelson, Buena Park.

The atmosphere was heavy with odors and glooms on the little island. When the rowboat slipped in the shadow of the grim, massive castle one shuddered. And shivered and shuddered alternately. The thing was over. A villainous guide led the way. Up stone steps and down stone steps, where green slimy moss bubbled out of the cracks, along cold corridors, peopled with shades; past human skeletons who held up their claws and offered peachstones carved into grotesque monkeys and miniature baskets, and mumbled "Por Dios," and past sears in the pavement beneath which they said were the tide-filled dungeons where in the old days prisoners sat up to their chins in water. A slit three feet high and three inches wide in a wall two feet thick yielded a murmur of voices and a variety of odors. The guide had gone on ahead. Some one called in English through the slit in the wall. It was black as night in there. "A Boy From Texas" "I'm a colored boy from Texas," said the voice. There were a few questions and answers. He had been there two years." This is a room about 50 feet long," said the voice." Sometimes there are a hundred prisoners here. No, they have nothing to sleep on. The cold pavement—that's all," and the guide hurried back, sputtering maledictions. A little squad of prisoners was weaving out to work on the breakwater. The men wore dirty green coats and trousers, and their feet were bare. The guards were dressed likewise, but they were bigger men and they had long clubs, like the night sticks of city policemen. One of the prisoners looked around to see the stranger. The club went up and came down. The prisoner leaped and writhed. Above the lapping of the blue Mexican gulf against the great stone foundations of the castle came the sinister crack of wood against bone. Such is the prison out of which the American admiral has turned 325 human beings. C. C. Chapman has brought suit against the Fullerton Hospital Association for $2,769.23, action being upon a note.

It consists of one or more cylinders, in which one of which a piston or plunger drives backwards and forwards sucks water into the cylinder and forces pump the discharge pipe. When the cylinder has only one suction valve and the discharge valve, the motion of the piston in one direction causes suction and the displacement in the opposite direction forces the water through the discharge pipe. With two sets of valves arranged that there is a discharge each displacement of the piston, the pump is known as a double acting pump. When the pump has two cylinders, it is known as a duplex pump, with three cylinders, it is a triple pump, and in either case may be either double acting or single acting. The cylinders with the driving gears or wheels are assembled and built at a height above the water plane, which must not exceed the suction lift. The capacity of the pump will depend on the diameter of the cylinder, the length of the stroke of the piston, and the number of strokes or revolutions per minute. The sizes of pumps and the capacities vary with the different manufacturers. For small capacities the double acting single piston pump may be used. Deep well pumps are used where the water plane is at large depths below the ground surface. A deep well pump consists of a brass cylinder in which operate two plungers with valves. The power plunger is connected to a solid rod which fits into a hollow rod to which the upper piston is connected. The plungers are so operated by the driving power that the pump is double acting, one plunger moving up while the other moves down, so that there is no continuous discharge.

This is part of a general scheme to make the scale of dress and entertainment in high schools conform to more sensible standards, but it is the part which it is especially timely at this season to call to public attention. California is building rich and splendid high schools all the way up and down the land from Oregon to Mexico. This is right and proper, for it is at the public expense, and we, the public, may well give to our own children the best schools that money can buy. But we must have a care lest the richness and splendor of the buildings and equipment be unconsciously reflected in the demands for personal expenditure upon the children and the parents. These personal demands of whatsoever nature need to be constantly watched by the school authorities, and kept down to a constant level of simplicity and economy. It is to the safety and to the perpetuity of the high school as an institution to do this. It is to the highest interest of the state to conduct the high school so that every youngster, rich or poor, shall have equal opportunity within its walls. One of the most insidious evils that has wormed its way, almost unnoticed, into the public school system, is the extravagance in expenditure which has been permitted to the children. This is especially conspicuous in the matter of clothes; boys clad in expensive tailor-made suits and girls in fashionable gowns, sometimes make the entrance to the school buildings at noon remind the passerby of a mansion at which an afternoon reception is in progress. The veil of this custom lies not only in the formation of habits of extravagance in the children, but in the humiliation it brings to the poorer children, and in the extra burden it lays upon their parents. In one of the larger high schools in this state, in the bay region, cases have been brought to the principal's attention of girls being withdrawn from school by their mothers, because they could not keep up with the competition of clothes. Such a condition is un-American and unpatriotic. The schools are supported by general taxation for all the people, and nothing should be tolerated in them that makes them inhospitable to the poorest citizen's children. One practical step toward an improvement of this condition is the movement to limit expenditures for graduation. The absurd sight of a class of high school boys graduating in swallow-tail coats, which was seen in one school last year, should never be repeated. In several schools an agreement has been made that no suit or dress shall cost more than a certain moderate sum, thus bringing the ex- piece which forms a slightly enlarged extension of the lower end of the discharge pipe below the foot piece. The air is delivered through the foot piece at pressures varying according to the lift and the ratio of diameters between air pipe and water pipe, and its expansion and displacement produces the lifting power. The velocity of water in the discharge pipe, based on the volume of water pumped should not exceed 5 feet per second in order to keep down friction losses. The compressor may be direct connected to a steam engine or gasoline engine or may be connected by means of belts, gears, etc., to the driving power which may be a steam engine, a gasoline engine or electric motor. The compressed air passes from the air cylinder to the receiver, which is used to store the air and equalize the pressure. From the receiver the air is conducted through pipes to each well. The efficiency of the plant when properly installed as calculated from the ratio of actual water horsepower to the indicated horsepower in the cylinder of the engine is generally between 20 and 30 per cent. Air lifts are best adapted for pumping from several wells not further apart than half a mile and where the wells are sufficiently deep to allow proper submergence. The hydraulic ram works on the principle that a large volume of water falling through a low head will pump a smaller volume of water through a higher head. The ram consists of the valve box and air vessel, the supply or drive pipe which connects the value box with the source of supply and the delivery or discharge pipe which connects the air vessel with the point of delivery. For best results the ratio of the length of drive pipe to the length of drive should not exceed 2.5; but it is practicable to increase this ratio to 25 and use a drive pipe 1,000 feet long. The delivery head may be anything up to about 250 feet and the drive head anything above 18 inches. The efficiency diminishes as the ratio of delivery to drive head increases. With this ratio as great as 30 to 1 the efficiency will not be over 20 per cent; with a ratio not greater than 4 to the efficiency may be as high as 75 per cent. Hydraulic rams are usually limited to small quantities of water. A nota- Such a condition is un-American and unpatriotic. The schools are supported by general taxation for all the people, and nothing should be tolerated in them that makes them inhospitable to the poorest citizen's children. One practical step toward an improvement of this condition is the movement to limit expenditures for graduation. The absurd sight of a class of high school boys graduating in swallow-tail coats, which was seen in one school last year, should never be repeated. In several schools an agreement has been made that no suit or dress shall cost more than a certain moderate sum, thus bringing the expense of the graduation within the purse of all the pupils. In another school, the suggestion has been offered that the girls should be required to make their own dresses. This would give all the girls an even chance to be dressed becomingly and would probably make it certain that all would be dressed simply. The elimination of engraved invitations and of expensive presents and flowers is also desirable. Such devices as these are all commendable. The solution can often be worked out by the use of tactful and indirect methods, without publicity or hard feelings. In the large bay high school mentioned above, the principal removed the evil by talking the matter over privately with the more influential girls, and making them see the inconsiderate nature of such display. They readily agreed to set a simpler fashion in the school, so that in a short time most of the objectionable overdressing was a thing of the past. Another reform in school expenditures could well be made in connection with the public entertainments and banquets given by the graduating classes or by the debating or athletic or social clubs of the schools. Too often the management of these affairs falls into the hands of the students whose parents are of more than average means, and soon, quite unconsciously, these boys and girls have set a pace of expenditure that seems easy enough to them, but which is really a great burden to their less fortunate fellows. All this means heartaches, and, far too often, discouragements that cause children to drop out of high school without completing their courses—the very children of all whom the public school should hold, since they must get their training there or not at all. Another opportunity for democratizing the high school, by reducing its cost to the pupils, opens before high school trustees in some such plan as this: Have the text-books bought and owned by the district, and rent the use of them to the students. The life of a text-book, when carefully handled, should be fully four years. Hence it would be possible to charge each student only one fourth the cost of the book as rental. In the four years of high school, this saving of three fourths of the present cost of text-books would be an item of great importance to many students. These ideas are only suggestions. The need is for a more democratic spirit in the student body of the high schools. The basis of that spirit is economic equality. As the schools are for all the people, the level of that economic equality should be placed low enough to permit the plainest kind of people to attend high school without fear of humiliation.
