CHAPMAN STREET BRIDGE READY FOR TRAFFIC Contractor Kellogg Finished the Job Last Thursday The new $25,000 concrete bridge crossing the Santa Ana between this city and Orange was completed at noon Thursday. All that remains for Contractor H. C. Kellogg to finish up his job is the removal of the temporary bridge built to take care of traffic across the river while the construction work was in progress. This cannot be done until after the new bridge is opened. The structure is built of reinforced concrete and has seven spans. There are five 54 foot and two 39 1-2 foot spans, and it is believed ample space has been made for any volume of water that might come down the river to pass under the structure, which cost approximately $25,000. Work was started about five months ago and contrary to expectations of the general public very little delay has been occasioned by the storm waters this winter. "The last work on the building of this bridge was done at noon Thursday," said Kellogg. "All that now remains for me to do to complete my contract is to remove the temporary bridge, and this I will do as soon as the new bridge is opened. The earliest date at which I could possible turn the completed work over to the county is thirty days from the time I poured the last cement. That period will expire on Thursday, March 8. The opening on that date, of course, is contingent upon the action of the board of supervisors and county engineer. I cannot open it until it is accepted and on this point I anticipate no trouble or delay." "I regret that provision was not made for the installation of ornamental structures with valuable properties." Prolific Tuber Which Can be Substituted for Potatoes The dasheen, a root crop introduced into this country from Trinidad within recent years by the United States department of agriculture, is now grown by a considerable number of farmers and truckers in the south, and promises to become a valuable member of the group of domestic vegetables, such as the potato, which furnish starchy foods. The new vegetable is closely related to the taro, whichever an important factor in the food supply in portions of the Tropics. The dasheen is itself primarily a tropical plant. It can be grown successfully, however, not only in the warmer portions of Florida, but in other sections of the South as far north as South Carolina. The edible portion of the plant includes a large central corm and a number of tubers, of much smaller size, attached to and around the corm. The value of the dasheen, it is believed, will be as a crop supplemental to rather than a substitute for the potato. The fact that the dasheen matures in the fall when potatoes must be obtained from northern producing sections should make the new plant especially valuable in the economics of the southern farmer. In food value the dasheen is comparable to the potato, though it contains a smaller proportion of water and a greater proportion of protein, starch and sugar than the latter. The new vegetable may be prepared for the table as potatoes usually are, or may be made into flour and used in baking. The tender shoots forced from the large corms may be prepared like asparagus, and make a pleasant dish in that form. NEW LAWS Among the bills in legislature is one provision of the juvenile produced by Senator Jose. It provides for by superior court judge sioner, at $3000 a year enile cases, take evidence recommendations to juvenile court.

Stated in a single sentence, the Home Industry League invites the attention of housewives to the fact that high priced potatoes and onions and beans—the retail prices of which, during the past month, has placed these commodities in the millionaire's menu only—can be replaced, cheaply and pleasantly, by the purchase of rice—California rice. Speaking of the high cost of living situation, Executive Secretary Chas. R. Thorburn, of the League states that housewives will be delighted to learn that the rice crop in California during the year just closed has reached almost double the crop of 1915, itself a fine output. More than 250 million pounds of rice have been harvested in the state during the last 12 months. This enormous crop means not alone a low price to the housewife for rice at this time, but it means that the rice dealers have exerted themselves to make their product better known to the women of the state. As a result, the dealers are getting up many new suggestions by the use of which California rice can be utilized on the tables of the state in many new ways, so that some families have already substituted various rice dishes for their breakfasts, luncheons, and dinners in homes of the southern farmer. In food value the dasheen is comparable to the potato, though it contains a smaller proportion of water and a greater proportion of protein, starch and sugar than the latter. The new vegetable may be prepared for the table as potatoes usually are, or may be made into flour and used in baking. The tender shoots forced from the large corms may be prepared like asparagus, and make a pleasant dish in that form. The dasheen is grown from whole tubers weighing a few ounces. They require a frostless season of at least seven months, with plenty of moisture. A moist but well drained, rich, sandy loam has been found to be a satisfactory soil for dasheen culture. A large proportion of either clay or muck in the soil produces a strong-flavored, tough corms, which are often unfit for table use. Large crops are produced unde such conditions, however, and make excellent stock feed. The crop is planted in February in southern Florida and as late as the early part of April in South Carolina. The plants are spaced about 3½ by 3½ feet. Dasheens may be dug for home use by the middle of September and the main crop can be harvested at any time after the last of October. The clumps of tubers are left on the surface of the ground for several days to dry. The tops and small roots are then broken off and the dasheens are then placed in storage. The dasheen is a good shipper and is handled by the carriers at the same freight rates as potatoes. The vegetable has already found its way into a number of northern markets. SAFETY NETS FOR FALLING WORKMEN The safety department of the Industrial Accident commission has been responsible for the introduction of safety nets in San Francisco for buildings under the course of construction. These nets are used in some of the large eastern cities and there are European countries that require a similar safety precaution. It is intended to secure the cooperation of California's building contractors in order that the safety nets may come into general use. It has been found that the law is impracticable that calls for the temporary flooring of all buildings under construction. High balconies, gallerator Henry Lyon of husbands would be good sized bond before to parole, in a bill Baldwin. Two measures by J. Prendergast of Sativa to the liability when abandoned by ing.

As a result, the dealers are getting up many new suggestions by the use of which California rice can be utilized on the tables of the state in many new ways, so that some families have already substituted various rice dishes for their breakfasts, luncheons, and dinners in place of potatoes, onions and beans which have been so common up to this time. Although rice growing is a new industry in California, it having been started on a large scale less than four years ago, there were 50,000 acres under cultivation in 1916, with every prospect of there being 100,000 rice producing acreage in 1917. By talking with various wholesale dealers it is learned that California rice is of what they term "short" kernel variety, yet has all the nutritive value of the "long kernel rice hitherto imported from China, Java, Siam and India. The local product not being highly polished, like the Oriental kind, is, in the opinion of many disinterested experts, an added advantage to the housewife who uses the California variety, as the polishing causes the loss of much of the nutritive value of any rice, besides exposing the user of the highly polished rice to contracting "berri berri" and other diseases characteristic of people who live exclusively on highly polished rice. It would look as though every working man at least would realize that he would be helping himself to cut down living costs as well as keeping his living money at home, were he to insist on the grocer giving his family a rice grown in California. It has been found that the law is impracticable that calls for the temporary flooring of all buildings under construction. High balconies, galleries, arch trusses of the剧院, auditoriums, churches, armory buildings, railroad train sheds, towers, viaducts, bridges, domes and cupolas on which men are engaged are not safe in case men fall. The distance to the floor is too far. The safety net supplies the need. A man falling many feet into a net is uninjured. The cost of the net is nominal and it is easily adjusted and removed. It can be readily transported from one job to another. The safety nets are similar in character to those employed by fire departments in some of our large cities to catch persons jumping from blazing windows. Circus performers are protected in like manner. Safety nets are in use for the protection of structural steel workers employed on the erection of the California theatre at Market and Fourth streets, San Francisco. The four nets cost $60 each. They are the first used west of Chicago. The need of these safety nets is best illustrated by California's experience in 1915. In the building industry 15 men lost their lives—10 of these fell to death and 5 wee struck by falling objects. There were 91 permanent injuries. The temporary injuries numbered 1,447. The installation of safety nets would have affected the seriousness of these 1,553 deaths and injuries.

In stated, make po NEW LAWS ASKED Among the bills introduced in the legislature is one providing for a revision of the juvenile court system, introduced by Senator Benson of San Jose. It provides for the appointment by superior court judges of a commissioner, at $3000 a year, to hear all juvenile cases, take evidence, and submit recommendations to the judge of the juvenile court. A "parental committee" in each county to handle the cases of wayward boys between the ages of 8 and 18, is proposed by Assemblyman Ambrose of Los Angeles. The committee would be composed of the superintendent of schools and two members of the board of education, or two citizens named by the superintendent if members of the board did not care to serve. Any person could file a petition with the committee, asking an investigation into the case of a lad whose conduct indicated that he was headed the wrong way. The committee would make recommendations to the Juvenile Court when deeming it advisable. There are many wife abandonment bill before the legislature. Paul J. Arnerich, Alameda assemblyman would make wife abandonment on second offense a felony. Support of wives and children left lestitute by the conviction of the husband and father for a felony would fall upon the counties, in a bill by Senator Henry Lyon of Los Angeles. Lazy husbands would be required to file a good sized bond before being admitted to parole, in a bill by Assemblyman Baldwin. Two measures by Assemblyman N. J. Prendergast of San Francisco, relative to the liability of the husband when abandoned by his wife, are pending. One provides that when a wife who is separated from her husband, fails to announce the separation when acquiring credit, she may be prosecured of timber for the use of copper mines in southern Arizona, and will afford means of travel for settlers besides cheapening the cost of protecting and administering the National forest. The development of water power in the region will be assisted and a beautiful recreation area will be opened up for tourist travel and for the residents of the desert cities during the summer months. In each case, under the terms of the law, the road funds must be derived partly from local sources, and the amount expendable in any county by the government is limited to ten per cent of the estimated value of the timber and forage resources of the national forests in that county. Several other projects for which cooperation has been offered are pending for roads in California, Montana, and Idaho. Where two projects have equal claim for consideration, the decision will, it is stated, be made in favor of the one for which the best offer of cooperation is made. ORANGE DAY, MARCH 10 The Orange Day committee is doing everything in its power to promote an active use of the Southern California orange in the eastern cities on Saturday, March 10th. It seems no more than right that the different communities of Southern California should cooperate with the committee in this respect, inasmuch as every additional box of oranges used in our eastern cities means an increased income of three to four dollars for Southern California. The committee has actual reports that through their efforts last year the consumption of the orange was increased to an amount exceeding two million dollars. The non-bearing acreage of Southern California planted to oranges exceeds the area of bearing oranges so it is THOSE SUDDEN TWINGES Bring Suffering to Many An Anaheim Reader Pain is nature's signal of distress.

When I am sweeping, sharp twinges catch me in the small of my back and nearly drive me wild. I am nervous and become easily excited. I have dizzy spells and everything turns black before my eyes. I always take Doan's Kidney Pills at these times, procured from Mullinix's Drug Store; the backache leaves me and I feel entirely well again." Price 50c, at all dealers.

FIRST ROAD UNDER NEW ACT The secretary of agriculture has authorized the location survey of a section of the first project in road construction under the nation-state Henry Lyon of Los Angeles. Lazy husbands would be required to file a good sized bond before being admitted to parole, in a bill by Assemblyman Baldwin. Two measures by Assemblyman N. J. Prendergast of San Francisco, relative to the liability of the husband when abandoned by his wife, are pending. One provides that when a wife who is separated from her husband, fails to announce the separation when obtaining credit, she may be prosecuted on a misdemeanor charge. The other provides that the liability of the husband for his wife's debts, shall continue after she leaves him until he gives due notice personally and by publication. The non-bearing acreage of Southern California planted to oranges exceeds the area of bearing oranges so it is natural that a provision must be made to dispose of the rapidly increasing orange crop, and that is the aim and object of the Orange Day committee. The committee has secured the cooperation of the railroads, women's clubs, express companies, hotels, newspapers, moving pictures and many other activities to popularize the Southern California orange. The mayors of over sixty of our eastern cities will issue a proclamation calling attention to the fact that Saturday is Southern California Orange Day and calling upon the residents of these cities to eat Southern California oranges on that day. Hotels will use the orange in their menus, the dining cars of all the trunk line railroads will do the same, in fact every means has been employed to have the Southern California orange reign king on that day. The committee requests the residents of Southern California to write a letter to their eastern friends directing attention to Orange Day and at the same time give the friend some statistics in regard to the California orange. Orange county receives four and one-half million dollars from the sale of the orange, and it will not be long until this amount will be doubled if we create in the minds of our friends,, in the east, the desire for the high grade orange that is grown in Orange county. Orange county has, within its boundaries, 508,000 acres, of this 18,065 are set to oranges. This means that 1-28th of the entire acreage of Orange county produces about 1-9 of all its income, inasmuch as $35,711,500 was the income of Orange county during the past year, from its agricultural pursuits. Let us all do something for Orange Day. Let us realize that it is a united effort on the part of communities that brings those communities success, so let each and everyone within the county of Orange send out that letter or post card that will urge our East People of the State of California Send Greeting to George W. Terry, Defendant. You are hereby directed to appear and answer the Complaint in an action entitled as above by brought against you in the Superior Court of the County of Orange, State of California, within ten days after the service on you of this Summons, if served within this County, or within thirty days if served elsewhere. And you are hereby notified that unless you appear and answer as above required, the said plaintiff will take judgment for any money or damages demanded in the complaint, as arising upon contract, or will apply to the Court for any other relief demanded by the appellant.

FIRST ROAD UNDER NEW ACT The secretary of agriculture has authorized the location survey of a section of the first project in road construction submitted under the national Forest section of the Federal Aid Road Act. This section is the only one in the law which provides for actual construction of roads by the Federal government. Roads built under authority of this part of the law are designed primarily to promote economic development and to serve public convenience in localities where much of the land is in national forests. The proposed road on which action is taken is in the Apache national forest, in Greenlee county, Arizona. The preliminary estimate of the cost of construction of the 71 miles of road to be surveyed is $342,500. Greenlee county proposes to hold a bond election to raise the necessary funds to contribute fifty per cent of this amount. An additional 29 miles of the road in Apache county will be necessary to complete the project and, according to the preliminary estimate, will bring the total cost to $420,000. Approval of the plans for the survey was based upon the industrial resources which will be opened up and also upon the offer of one-half cooperation by the county. The construction of the road will make possible a north and south trunk line through a region now inaccessible and will connect with existing east and west state highways. In addition it will, it is stated, make possible the sale of large FIFTEEN RULES OF HEALTH The following simple rules for good health have been adopted by the National Safety Council: Air 1 Insist on having fresh air in your home and where you work. 2 Wear light, loose clothing. 3 Spend part of your time in the open air. 4 Have lots of fresh air where you sleep. 5 Breathe deeply.

Sunset 329; Homs 2184 With the selling of the water and sewer bonds by the city fathers last Thursday evening improvements at Seal Beach started in full swing. In addition to these improvements the property holders have started the paving of portions of Ocean Avenue and all of Main street. Contracts are being let for two monstrous seal pens on Seal Way, and a covered bridge connecting the dancing pavilion and the Jewel City cafe with the parking station and Ocean avenue. The first social function of this live little city is set for Tuesday evening, March 27th. On this date the chamber of commerce will hold its first annual ball which will be known as a "Snow Ball Dance." Decorations for this affair are coming from Chicago and are of a most novel nature. A snow ball battle will take place on the ball room floor, and while the snow will not be as wet as that on Old Baldy, it will be just as effective. The regular opening day of Seal Beach has not yet been set but will probably be very early in May. James Mootch, rancher of this city has applied for final naturalization papers. He was born in Austria in 1879, and came to this country in Griffith Lumber Co. SEE US FOR YOUR BUILDING MATERIAL InAny Amount, Large or Small South Los Angeles St. H. M. ADAMS, Mgr. Y.M.C.A.
