AGREE ON NEW LEGISLATIVE MEASURES SOUTHERN MEMBERS OF SENATE AND ASSEMBLY MEET IN CONFERENCE THURSDAY UNANIMOUSLY ENDORSE CERTAIN MEASURES THAT WILL BE PRESENTED AT SACRAMENTO Nine state senators and twenty assemblymen, representing the counties south of the Tehachepi, met in convention at Los Angeles Thursday for the purpose of discussing measures beneficial to the South which will be presented at the coming session of the legislature. Party lines were not drawn, but all agreed to work together for the bills introduced. Senator W. E. Brown was chosen chairmen of the convention and Joe Burke of Orange county, secretary. The coast highway project was presented by H. W. Keller and Carl McStay of the Automobile Club of Southern California, both of whom gave interesting facts germane to the subject. It is planned to construct the road from a point in Ventura county down the coast, via the Malibu ranch in Los Angeles county to San Juan Capistrano in this county. Supervisor Hinshaw of Los Angeles county and supervisors from Ventura and Orange counties were present and all said their respective districts were favoror Angeles county presented some of the urgent needs of legislation affecting boards of supervisors. He had made a careful study of the various problems. Following are some of the proposed enactments: A bill giving the supervisors in each county authority to levy all taxes to be collected within the school districts a bill to explicitly state that due notice be given of proposed changes in school district boundaries by posting instead of by letter; an amendment authorizing the purchase of all school supplies through a county purchasing agent acting as a deputy county superintendent; an act granting the sheriff the right to take photographs and Bertillon measurements; certain amendments to the school bond law; amend act No. 2386 so as to permit boards of supervisors to build and maintain roads in charter cities where the charters of such cities contain a provision giving the city council power to authorize the supervisors to do so; amend the law regarding bail bonds, the present statute being inadequate in that persons may go on the bond for a prisoner without sufficient showing of their responsibility. Public Defender Wood of Los Angeles has prepared a few bills, one of which provides for a small debtors' court and another to give the family of an imprisoned man a percentage of the money he makes for the state, the amount to be designated by the judge who sentenced him. D. K. Edwards argued for a bill that will permit persons to give more than one-third of their estates to charity. Attorney Mattison Jones said he has two clients who are thinking of removing to Washington because the California law will not permit them to dispose of their property as they see fit. C. K. Mohler spoke on "Excess Condemnations." He represented the Mu- Stay of the Automobile Club of Southern California, both of whom gave interesting facts germane to the subject. It is planned to construct the road from a point in Ventura county down the coast, via the Malibu ranch in Los Angeles county to San Juan Capistrano in this county. Supervisor Hinshaw of Los Angeles county and supervisors from Ventura and Orange counties were present and all said their respective districts were favorable to the plan. In requesting state aid for the project, Mr. McStay said the Southern California legislators can make the demand with more or less confidence "because no legislature has ever given any of the Southern California counties a penny for good roads." Judge Walter Bordwell, representing the board of education and Supt. Shiels of the Los Angeles schools, appeared to espouse the cause of several measures that are considered of vital importance to the public schools. The present law is lax in regard to night schools, they said, and it is desired that it be amended so the board of education can exercise its discretion as to when the schools shall be open and just who shall attend them. Mr. Bordwell said it is very essential that the school laws be codified; that the law be amended so as to permit a greater variety of free text books for elementary schools, such as California history, that there should be a general law for all cities having boards of education, determining the length of tenure and manner of electing such boards; that certain laws are badly needed for the increase of financial support by the state. These needs were divided into five classes, first, an increased allowance for elementary school attendance to $25 per pupil, the present minimum allowance being $13; second, special allowance for vocational training; third, a per capita allowance for junior college attendance; fourth, appropriations to pay salaries of home teachers; fifth, to provide for a larger maximum amount for transportation of blind, crippled or mentally deficient children. Mr. Bordwell also said a bill will be presented providing for the sale of leasing of school property which has become unsuitable for school purposes for a period of ninety-nine years or less. The importance of immediate legislation to protect Southern California, from flood waters was thoroughly dis- The importance of immediate legislation to protect Southern California, from flood waters was thoroughly discussed and assurance was given that the matter will be seriously taken up at the earliest opportunity. Mr. Mead presented an exhaustive report on the problem. He advocated the plan of having all such projects handled by a state board of competent men, who will direct the work of the various districts. He said the bill that will be submitted the legislature will provide for a comparatively small outlay of money, it being the opinion of those interested in the plan to have the state provide money only for the payment of the members of the commission of engineers. While the counties directly benefited by the control of the flood waters will stand sponsor for the actual cost of construction: It is a part of the scheme to have the adjoining property holders who will benefit mostly pay about 50 per cent of the cost, the payments to cover a long period. It has been estimated that the cost in Los Angeles county will be about $16,000,000, while the benefits to lands will be $25,000,000. Consequently, Mr. Mead said it is considered only fair that the property owners directly benefited pay a larger amount for the improvement than those living in remote parts of the district. The proposed measure provides for local districts, each watershed to be an individual district, and each would have three commissioners and engineers. County Counsel A. J. Hill of Los The contractor on the coast road was given permission to sub-let to Edgar T. Wheeler, the trestle work and piling incidental to said contract. The petition of C. W. Morris, et al., for a county road in Yorba road district, was granted, deeds having been given for the right of way. The board appointed J. L. McBride, Walter Lamb and J. A. Dunn viewers on the road as per petition of John H. Pope, et al., of Newhope road district. The application of the Pacific Tel. and Tel.

Only practiced woodsmen who have had actual experience in work for the United States forest service or for private lumber companies will be admitted to the course. Timber work will be practically at a standstill at that season, so practical woodsmen can attend this course at a minimum of inconvenience. It will give opportunity to men already familiar with all the practical details of their work to keep in touch with the latest developments in their profession and to strengthen their theoretical training. Each woodsman may select from among ten subjects of instruction those which best suit his own needs. Several of the courses given regularly to students enrolled for the four or five year course in forestry in the University will be so arranged that the short course students may profitably attend them during their celled for them was $226.07. Last spring she succeeded in hatching out 115 little turkeys, raised every one of them until they were large enough to range over the ranch. Then she began to miss them and discovered coyotes were eating her turkeys. Mrs. Wickham purchased a quantity of tiny bells and fastened them loosely about the necks of her young turkeys with the result that she raised about 100 of the original flock without another loss. HOUSEHOLD LABOR HIGHEST IN CALIFORNIA The total value of household labor per farm family in California is $293, the highest of any state in the Union. Georgia is lowest with $138 per family, according to figures compiled by the department of agriculture. The average for the Union is $228. The housewives of Kansas, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Vermont themselves do all but 1 per cent of their work, but in Georgia 15 per cent of the work is done by hired help. In New Jersey 9 per cent and in California 8 per cent of the labor is hired, these states standing second and third respectively in high percentages of work hired. The women of practically all the sections studied complained that domestic help is hard to get and often undesirable when secured.

Each woodsman may select from among ten subjects of instruction those which best suit his own needs. Several of the courses given regularly to students enrolled for the four or five year course in forestry in the University will be so arranged that the short course students may profitably attend them during their 12-week stay at Berkeley. Among these are forest mensuration, including logging, scaling and timber estimating; the protection of forests from fire, insects, and other enemies, forest administration, logging and the construction of trails, telephone lines and other improvements. Several special courses will be offered, including surveying and mapping, given by the civil engineering department; English composition, by the English department aiding the woodsman toward skill in the preparation of reports such as he must frequently submit to his superiors; sylviculture, and grazing, this course in grazing being conducted by an expert of the U.S. Forest service. Forest service specialists will deliver also twelve lectures on various aspects of their work. This short course in forestry will come immediately after a meeting of forest service supervisors and rangers to be held in Berkeley from January 3 to 12, inclusive. It is expected that many of those attending the conference will remain for the short course in forestry. BELLS ON TURKEYS, OUTWITS COYOTES Mrs. C. H.

The Best Meats of All WORLD-BEATER STEER COST SEVEN CENTS A POUND TO RAISE The steer bred and fed by the University of California that broke the world's record by selling at $1.75 a pound on the foot, after winning the grand championship at the International Livestock show in Chicago, was produced by the university at a cost of only 7.35 cents per pound. It cost the University Farm $77.98 to raise this steer, and he sold for $1959. His showyard winnings amounted to $398, so he brought to the university a total of $23.59. Never until the university won the grand championship and the reserve grand championship at the exposition with steers of its own breeding and raising had one and the same exhibitor won both of these prizes on animals of his own breeding. This is the ninth time an international grand championship has been won by an agricultural college, but never before has a college won with a steer of its own breeding, as has the University Farm at Davis this year. Captured by Japs: William Hillebrecht was arraigned of before Justice Armor of Orange on Thursday on a charge of burglary following his capture by a party of Villa Park Japanese in the home of Y. Nakashima, which he had entered during the owner's absence, about 2:30 p.m. Yakashima, who had left his home for a few minutes, returned after some forgotten article and found Hillebrecht in the house which had been left with the dor shut but not locked. Officers Jackson and Farrar were called from Orange and Hillebrecht was immediately taken before Justice Armor on a charge of second degree burglary, the maximum penalty for which is a prison sentence of five years.
