DISCUSS NEEDED LEGISLATION IN CALIFORNIA SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WOMENS COUNCIL COMPARE IDEAS AT SANTA ANA MEETING ASSEMBLYMAN J. C. BURKE GIVES OUTLINE OF HIS WORK IN PRESENT SESSION The Women's Legislative Council of Southern California held a meeting at Santa Ana Wednesday for the purpose of discussing needed laws and recommending certain changes in existing laws. Mrs. A. J. Lawton acted as chairman of the meeting. The first speaker was Mrs. F. W. Houser of Alhambra, who discussed the six community property bills presented at the legislature by State Senator Luce of San Diego at the request of the Women's Legislative council. These measures are companion bills, all aiming to put the wife upon an equal basis with her husband in the division, willing and control of property. While title companies demand the wife's signature to a deed, the signature is not necessary, for today the husband can deed property without his wife's signature. It is proposed to make her signature necessary. One question not entirely favored is to require the wife's consent before a husband can sell personal property. The objection is that a husband running a store could not sell any article with continue to have periodical floods and damage. "I consider myself the agent of a constituency, and that constituency is pronounced in its vote upon the liquor question. I shall vote to represent the wishes of that constituency. I shall vote for the county wide option bill. In the Rominger bill many changes are likely to be made, and no one yet knows what its provisions will be. "There need be no worry about the race track bill being pushed forward. It will not even be submitted. The prize fight bill will not be presented." H. S PRINCIPALS ENDORSE COUNTY JUNIOR COLLEGE Also Favor a Compulsory Physical Training Law Unanimous approval of Senate Bill No. 515, making possible the establishment of a county junior college, was voiced by the five principals of high schools in Orange county, at a meeting in Anaheim Wednesday afternoon for consideration of pending legislation affecting schools of the state. The sentiment of the principals is that one college in many counties—among them Orange county—can do much better work for the students at less cost for the taxpayers than several colleges in connection with the various high schools. The bill, as introduced by Senator Ballard, provides that any high school district wishing to maintain a junior college of its own can remain out of the county junior college district. The question of whether or not a county college shall be established will be submitted to the people upon petition of 500 electors. Approval was also expressed for Senate Bill No. 599 which provides for compulsory physical training in all theANAHEIM YOUNG FINDS E Couple Will Make City on Retire Miss Nelle Mae W.

MINERAL OUTPUT COUNTY F California State M Statistics of In While title companies demand the wife's signature to a deed, the signature is not necessary, for today the husband can deed property without his wife's signature. It is proposed to make her signature necessary. One question not entirely favored is to require the wife's consent before a husband can sell personal property. The objection is that a husband running a store could not sell any article without his wife's consent. It is proposed to have the widow receive her share of her husband's estate without inheritance tax. At present the widow pays the tax while a widower does not. One bill proposes to allow a wife to get a division of property from a spendthrift erring husband without first suing for divorce. Mrs. Houser said that would be of great benefit to some women among Catholics and others whose religious convictions are against divorce. Their rights of the wife to will her share of community property are to be established, if one of the bills carries. Mrs. Lawton, committeeman of the legislative council on bills pertaining to allow women to serve on juries, said that the measures are meant to be an offer of service on the part of the women. If tried it might be found that the presence of women on certain kinds of juries would work for efficiency. Mrs. Lawton said that she had the feeling that the efforts to get the bills through would prove to be efforts in a losing cause. Senator Evans was asked to discuss the proposal to appropriate $150,000 for a state farm school at Riverside. "We have gone the limit on providing teachers," said he, "and we do not need any more normal schools. If we are to have a contented people we must keep our people at home. A community is more valuable if it can keep those who have grown up there Political life will be helped. We must develop our farming interests. Those on the farms become settled citizens, and that is what we want. Yet we have no educational institution working out that important problem. I am not fighting for this appropriation because it is going to Riverside, but because it is a constructive measure. I am saying this because in matters that I have in mind two years from now I do not want to take the pork barrel attitude. "We may get this bill through various high schools. The bill, as introduced by Senator Ballard, provides that any high school district wishing to maintain a junior college of its own can remain out of the county junior college district. The question of whether or not a county college shall be established will be submitted to the people upon petition of 500 electors. Approval was also expressed for Senate Bill No. 599 which provides for compulsory physical training in all the schools of the state, 20 minutes of physical training a day in the elementary schools, and two hours a week in the high schools. Among bills opposed by the principals was one providing for re-organization of school districts, and which would allow any grammar school district to withdraw from a union high school district without notice, and join with another high school district. SEASON UP TO DATE MOST PROPITIOUS Timely Rainfall Insures Bountiful Crops—Benefits Orchards and Pasturage The bountiful rainfall which has descended during the past ten days insures splendid crops. The precipitation came just at the right time and has given all vegetation renewed life. Growing grains and all small crops are especially benefitted, while the orchards have, also been helped to a great extent. The rain precludes the necessity of irrigation which is also a decided help to the orchardists, besides nature's gift is far more beneficial to the thirsting soil. The normal rain fall for this section is about 15 inches, but it has been the experience of old-timers that a lesser amount, distributed at convenient intervals in minor quantities does more good to insure good crops than large volumes do in a more limited space of time. A half-inch of rain now and then at this time of year will do more good than several inches of rain in the earlier season, because there are few crops in then to be benefitted. While a large volume of rain naturally replenishes the earth's supply, and insures a goodly quantity of the life-giving fluid in the lower valleys, still it is a matter of record that in past years a precipitation of say seven or eight inches at opportune times does far more good to bring about large crops of the... develop our farming interests. Those on the farms become settled citizens, and that is what we want. Yet we have no educational institution working out that important problem. I am not fighting for this appropriation because it is going to Riverside, but because it is a constructive measure. I am saying this because in matters that I have in mind two years from now I do not want to take the pork barrel attitude. "We may get this bill through this session, and we may not." Assemblyman J. C. Burke declared that Orange county should support the farm school measure. He said he would work for and vote for it. "I favor an appropriation of $250,000 for a home for the feeble minded, said he." "but I do not favor having it located in Orange county. I am opposed to locating any penal institution, insane asylum or home for feeble minded in our county. "No less than $1,350,000 has been in appropriations for Southern California. We cannot hope to get anywhere near that amount, especially if the Federal government takes away the inheritance taxes from the state. "There are a number of iterating bills. One is that sent to me by Attorney Bishop for straightening the mouth of the Santa Ana river to prevent the dumping of slit into Newport bay. The rod and reel club's bill to stop seining near wharves, such as that at Newport Beach is inimical to the inteersts of our fishermen. "My special hobby at this session of the legislature is flood control. I want to see the conservancy act passed. By it Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties acting together can work out the control of a recurring menace. The flood troubles are as old as the country, and until systematic, scientific work is done we will half-inch of rain now and then at this time of year will do more good than several inches of rain in the earlier season, because there are few crops in then to be benefitted. While a large volume of rain naturally replenishes the earth's supply, and insures a goodly quantity of the life-giving fluid in the lower valleys, still it is a matter of record that in past years a precipitation of say seven or eight inches at opportune times does far more good to bring about large crops of the smaller grains, besides giving pasturage a decided boost. Up to date we have had nearly twelve inches of rain and the season is most propitious. SUPERVISORS OPPOSED TO COUNTY ENGINEER Col. Finley Stood Alone in its Advocacy Before State Association Supervisor S. H. Finley of Santa Ana, who has been advocating a law placing all highway work in each county under the direction of a county highway engineer, found himself standing alone in support of the proposition at the meeting of the California Supervisors' Association at Sacramento last week. Mr. Finley brought this matter up at a session of the Orange county board some weeks ago, but the other four members voted against its endorsement. At the Sacramento meeting Wednesday he introduced a resolution petitioning the legislature to enact such a law, but every supervisor present, with the exception of Col. Finley, voted no. Besides it was decided to send the result of the vote to every member of the legislature as well as to the California League of Municipalities. Dr. M. M.

Johnson were married Tuesday evening at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. O. Alnsworth, 435 East Chapman avenue, Orange. The house was handsomely decorated for the occasion, baskets of yellow acacia blossoms and smilax adorning the vantage points. A background for the ceremony was formed by a mass of these blossoms, from which streamers extended to a wedding bell suspended above the bridal party. Rev. W. E. Spicer of the First Christian church, performed the ceremony. After an appropriate solo had been rendered by a friend of the bride, a brief reception was held and the guests were permitted an inspection of the wedding gifts which comprised a collection of rare beauty and variety. The bride cut the wedding cake, souvenirs of which were claimed by the guests. A two course dinner was served. There were about 80 guests including a number from out of the city. During the course of the reception the bride and groom neatly eluded the company and escaped to their train at Fullerton where they embarked on a short honeymoon. They will make their home in Anaheim where the congratulations and good wishes of countless Orange friends will follow them. The groom is an employee of the Pinal Dome Refining company, of this city. MINERAL OUTPUT OF THIS COUNTY FOURTH IN STATE California State Mining Bureau Issues Statistics of Interest to People BEGINNING TO MAKE OUR OWN POTASH Output in 1916 Ten Times Greater Than in Previous Year Statistics of the production of potash in the United States in 1916 are nearly complete, only a few of the unimportant known producers having failed to report to the geological survey. The following preliminary estimate is believed to be approximately correct. Complete figures will be published later when all the returns have been received. The total production of potash salts and potash products in the United States in 1916 was close to 10,000 tons with a net value at point of shipment of at least $3,500,000, figured at the prevailing selling prices. This is ten times the value of the production reported for 1915, but the figures submitted by many of the producers represent only a start made toward the end of 1916. The total for 1917 is therefore likely to be much greater. The largest output has come from the Nebraska alkali lakes, but the natural saline deposits elsewhere are now just beginning to make important contributions. The figures for potash derived from alunite, of which there is only one important producer, are combined with those for available potash in cement kiln, flue dust, greensand, and feldspar recoveries, in order not to disclose figures given in confidence. These do not include a considerable quantity of feldspar said to have been mined and prepared for possible use for the sake of the potash it contains. The production of potash from organic sources is about half that from mineral sources. The recovery of potash from pearlash is an old established industry.

Orange county is one of the many in California which on casual inspection appears to be anything but a mineral producing section. It stands however, as the fourth county in the state in regard to the total value of mineral output, its highly productive oil fields making such a condition possible. This county shows a loss in 1915, with a total value of mineral products of $6,617,112, from the 1914 output, worth $8,831,763. Agile from the substances actually produced and noted in the table below, coal, gypsum, iron, infusorial earth, sandstone and tourmaline have been found in Orange County. Commercial productions for 1915 were as follows: Brick, 1,280 M., $16,000; Copper, 4 lbs., $1; Lead, 364 lbs., $17; Natural gas, 1,243,301 M. cubic ft., $81,753; Petroleum, 12,715,457 bbls., $6,510,314; Stone, miscellaneous, $9,027; Total value of mineal products, $6,617,112. U. OF C. EMPLOYMENT BUREAU The doors of the new employment bureau on the University of California campus are thrown open to help the students who will complete their college courses in May. The bureau is a new department in the offices of the California Alumni association, and was created by the alumni organization to aid the seniors in securing employment as soon as they graduate. The opening of the bureau has come after a year's investigation by which it was established that employers throughout the state would welcome an agency which would systematically place at their disposal each year's output of men and women from the university. FEDERAL MONEY California appropriations in the Sunday Civil bill, which has been reported. An anonymous military attache at Washington who has seen the present British and German armies in action is credited with the remark that General Pershing's expeditionary force, as it marched northward across the border the other day, was "the finest machine in the world." "There is no army of its size," he said, "to compare with this little army of Americans. They are trained and equipped to perfection. Not even a buckle on a mule harness is lacking. And with it is the spirit of the American soldier. What it is I cannot say, but it is there. In the swing of their bodies and the set of their shoulders I could see it." We have always regarded our own soldiers as unequalled in spirit and fighting quality, but it comes as a surprise to be told that our army is in such admirable shape at this moment. It is reported that the long stay in Mexico has been used to good purpose. While the column remained inactive, stretched across the Mexican desert, it was busy experimenting and perfecting itself. The lessons of the war in Europe were taken to heart. The equipment in every branch of the service was changed to conform to the advance in military science. The troops were taught the new style of trench warfare, the new methods of artillery fire and infantry attack, the new devices for screening guns, the new military aviation. The army was supplied with motor trucks, wireless and tractor outfits, portable cooking wagons, road building machines, tractors for hauling heavy guns, aeroplanes by the score, and all the other paraphernalia of present day warfare. Their health was well attended to, and they were kept hard and fit. OFFICE PHONES HOME 753-1 SUNSET 341-J. Res. 125 E. Broadway, Cor. Claudina RESIDENCE PHONES PACIFIC 341-M HOME 753-2 J. W.

The bureau is a new department in the offices of the California Alumni association, and was created by the alumni organization to aid the seniors in securing employment as soon as they graduate. The opening of the bureau has come after a year's investigation by which it was established that employers throughout the state would welcome an agency which would systematically place at their disposal each year's output of men and women from the university. Chemists, horticulturists, metallurgists, accountants, lawyers, salesmen, dietitians, surveyors, draftsmen, architects, sanitarians, social service workers, miners and a hundred other kinds of workers will be listed and classified for the convenience of the inquiring employer. The facts and figures relating to the prospective employees, all of whom have spent four years in the university will be open for the employer's reference. The inquiry which the Alumni association conducted before starting the bureau proved how difficult it is for the average employer to find suitably trained men and women. While a large number of men and women especially fitted to make a start in business go forth each year from the university, heretofore there has been no intelligent method by which an employer might find the particular individual needed. The first month will be occupied with registering seniors eligible for employment June 1. When the registration is complete, a statement will be issued to employers, through the newspapers and through various chambers of commerce and other channels. This statement, which will be made in the later part of March, will give a general idea as to the vocational preparation and fitness of the 1917 crop of university trained men and women.

Until some few weeks ago, when the converted Teutonic cruisers Kronprinz Wilhelm and Prinz Eltel Friedrich were transferred to Philadelphia, a German village of unusual interest flourished within the confines of the Norfolk, Va., navy yard, where the two vessels and their crews were interned. It was called Eltel Wilhelm and had a population consisting of about 1000 seamen. Its destruction came with the removal of the cruisers to the Philadelphia navy yard. Eltel Wilhelm was built on land allotted to the sailors as an exercise ground, and out of waste materials thrown out from the shipyards to be burned. For weeks the men devoted practically all of their spare time to the erection of the quaint little place, which was scrupulously neat, distinctly German, and gay with paint of all colors. S.
