CIVIC CENTER IS ADVOCATED BY SPEAKER Continued from page 1 what might not a city accomplish and make permanent? Do you recall that view of the San Diego Exposition as one approached the entrance over the bridge? The great campanelle towering over the varied colored dome of the California building, the arched entrance, the buildings stretching down on each side of the Prado, building of one height very nearly. Each building had its particular use, but so nicely arranged, what a magic city was presented us, how grand and inspiring. Are we to forget that example in the building and improving our cities? Just as good results can be attained in time if we but plan wisely, use forethought for results to be attained some time in say ten or twenty years. While enormous bond issues and public expenditures are being made each year, American cities from coast to coast present much the same confused and conglomerate appearance, with no evidence of orderly or distinctive planning. Vast sums are spent for municipal buildings placed where they do not appear to advantage or can be efficiently used. As it pays the larger industries and business organizations such as the telephone companies and railroads to plan for twenty-five years future growth, so it certainly must pay cities to lay capital plans in the same way. City plans should be prepared from the economic standpoint first, social or human standpoint second, and the esthetic standpoint last, not in the reverse order, as has been sometimes suggested. Orderly development based upon economy and necessity, encouraging commerce and increasing business for it by public subscription, or assume the expense yourselves. In Chicago the commercial club of the city spent something like $200,000 on plans which were later taken over and accepted by the city. The result is there is now $170,000,000 worth of improvements being made in an orderly manner, that will produce permanent and creditable results rather than furthering the chaotic conditions of the past. This is the common sense, business-like thing to do, for the general welfare and prosperity of your community. I would urge you that you take steps along this line, that you may stand out as a city by yourselves, progressive, up to date, a city that will be attractive, not only to yourselves and visitors, but to industries and home seekers. CALIFORNIA'S MINERALS IMPORTANT WAR ASSET Survey of Resources to be Made by State Mining Bureau The state mining bureau, under the direction of Fletcher Hamilton, state mineralogist, is starting a field campaign to report on the economic minerals of California, which have an important industrial and military bearing on the present war situation. For the past four years the bureau has been working on a complete survey of the entire state's mineral resources by counties, field work for which is now practically completed and the results in part published. Particular interest and value attaches at the present moment to our available supplies of chrome, coal, iron, magnesite, manganese, molybdeum, quicksilver and tungsten. The extent and availability of our petroleum resources, which are so important in modern naval operations, have already been thoroughly covered by the bureau in its work of protecting the fields from damage by faulty operations. As data on the oth- Y. M. C. A.

Plavin o Moore of Winter As it pays the larger industries and business organizations such as the telephone companies and railroads to plan for twenty-five years future growth, so it certainly must pay cities to lay capital plans in the same way. City plans should be prepared from the economic standpoint first, social or human standpoint second, and the esthetic standpoint last, not in the reverse order, as has been sometimes suggested. Orderly development based upon economy and necessity, encouraging commerce and increasing business by the exercise of common forethought and prudence, will naturally result in the beautification of the city. Attractiveness is a city asset that can be capitalized and it will come through orderly planning. Would not a definite plan tie the city down? I should say, no. It is not necessarily rigid, but may be subject to amendment as time and economic changes make advisable. It is essential to bring order out of chaos, if common sense is to apply to large city expenditures and increasing tax rates. The first cost of city planning is small, almost nothing compared to the expense of one street opening. The preparation of a definite plan often shows where economics could be made in contemplated expenditures sufficient to pay many times for the plan. It requires study by an expert competent to determine the best plan of growth, in conference with the several existing departments of municipal government. The value of the services of this expert is shown not only in what is accomplished constructively, but the unwise things that are prevented. But I do not wish it to be inferred that city planning is all a matter of expenditure, but to a considerable extent, one of conservation and economy. Most American cities have found that it is necessary to make city planning somebody's particular business, and so have established a new department of municipal government, called a city planning commission. It is the duty of such a commission to prepare with expert advice, a plan to meet the present needs of the city, and as time goes on, see that this is carried out, or amended as necessity and changed conditions may demand. A city planning commission should be established in every city in California, and such was the intent of the new state law, placed upon the statute books two years ago. This commission should not be a political one. In some cities it has been proved that civic organizations taking up and financing this work has given the best results, and such a method certainly speaks the voice of the citizens more positively. I am told, and the evidence is clearly shown, that you have much civic pride. Many of your buildings are pleasing in design, your streets are well laid out, a portion of them nicely paved and neatly bordered with trees. All of which is essential, and a step in the right direction. But to make your suits in part published. Particular interest and value attaches at the present moment to our available supplies of chrome, coal, iron, magnesite, manganese, molybdeum, quicksilver and tungsten. The extent and availability of our petroleum resources, which are so important in modern naval operations, have already been thoroughly covered by the bureau in its work of protecting the fields from damage by faulty operations. As data on other minerals are already well in hand, trained geologists and engineers of the bureau's staff are being sent out to bring the information down to the minute, with relation to the latest developments in the above named items. The report will cover the location, size, accessibility to transportation, character, quality, and state of development of every known deposit throughout the state. W. Burling Tucker, chief field assistant, will visit the counties south of the Tehachapi; Clarence A. Waring, field assistant, the counties along the Sierra Nevada mountains from Tulare northward; Emile Huguenin, field assistant, the counties along the Coast ranges from Monterey to Del Monte; Walter W. Bradley, mining statistician, Siskiyou and Shasta counties, also quicksilver and research work on the metallurgy of quicksilver. Advance notices will be sent to the local newspapers, from time to time, of the arrival of the engineers in the various districts, so that those interested in the mineral properties may be fully advised and cooperate to the fullest extent in this patriotic work. The conservation and utilization of our mineral resources, while highly important at all times, are imperative in the present exigency. With the exception of a small tonnage of chrome from Oregon in 1916, and of magnesite from Washington in 1917, California has been the sole source of these two minerals in the United States. For many years California has been, and still is, producing from 70 to 80 percent of the quicksilver yield of the United States. This metal is absolutely essential from a military standpoint, as there has not yet been produced a commercial substitute for it in the manufacture of fulminating caps for explosives. California is one of the two main producing tungsten states of the Union. This metal is especially valuable in the manufacture of alloys for high speed tool steels. All interests interested in these mines alone, to the nuanced more are planning accommodated in the San Bernardino years. Messers.

In some cities it has been proved that civic organizations taking up and financing this work has given the best results, and such a method certainly speaks the voice of the citizens more positively. I am told, and the evidence is clearly shown, that you have much civic pride. Many of your buildings are pleasing in design, your streets are well laid out, a portion of them nicely paved and neatly bordered with trees. All of which is essential, and a step in the right direction. But to make your city more complete, to give it a heart, or a feature of predominating importance, you should establish a social or civic center, as many choose to call the grouping of public and semi-public buildings, such as the city hall, library, schools, etc. The location of such a center will call for much study. Possibly it might be well to consider some one of your more permanent buildings as a nucelus from which to start, but I am not familiar enough with existing conditions in your city to attempt to influence thought along these lines. To the buildings which would go to constitute the architectural elements of a civic center, there should be given not merely a central location which would be appropriate by reason of convenience rather than sentiment, but all the additional emphasis that conspicuousness that site can offer. No other structures are so appropriately entitled to the best positions that the city afford, as those that officially stand for the city, and not only do these structures belong together but each gains from the proximity of the other. They make for better efficiency, orderliness and economy, and esthetically are more impressive. If you do appreciate the importance of such an idea, I would suggest that the business men's club, civic in its nature, appoint an advisory committee of say five members, and employ some expert to make a survey of the physical conditions of your community, and prepare a plan for a civic center. There will be a certain amount of expense in the employment of an expert which will of necessity have to be provided for. This may be arranged in the annual budget of the city, but you will be more successful if you care still is, producing from 70 to 80 percent of the quicksilver yield of the United States. This metal is absolutely essential from a military standpoint, as there has not yet been produced a commercial substitute for it in the manufacture of fulminating caps for explosives. California is one of the two main producing tungsten states of the Union. This metal is especially valuable in the manufacture of alloys for high speed tool steels. All persons interested in these minerals are earnestly urged to cooperate with the state mining bureau by meeting the field men while in their districts or by communicating with the state mineralogist at his office in the Ferry Building, San Francisco. JAPS WANT TO FIGHT Representatives of Japanese association of Heiwa-Kai adopted resolutions at a mass meeting at Sacramento offering the services of Japanese in that section of the state to fight for the United States against Germany. Copies of the resolution will be sent to President Wilson, Gov. Stephens and the state council of defense. The resolution will be approved, it is said by local Japanese, by various associations and organizations of their race throughout the valley, to which they are being sumitted by Ben Akahori, secretary of the association. It is expected that by this week a delegation of prominent Japanese, representing all the northern portion of the state will present the offer in person to Gov. Stephens. The resolutions, adopted unanimously, state that, whereas the German government has thrust a state of war upon the United States, and the Japanese wish to show their appreciation of the advantages and liberty they now enjoy, they pledge their support and tender their services to the nation.

FIELD MEET AT SANTA ANA SATURDAY County Convention Will Also be Held On That Date The Orange County Y. M. C.

This is the first time in history that these two important affairs have been scheduled for the same day, and a monster Y. M. C. A. gathering on that day is expected. W. B. Tedford, Harry Lewis and S. M. Davis were appointed a committee to arrange for the gathering, at a meeting of the county committee held at the Harry Lewis home on East Fourth street, Santa Ana. Reports as to the fine condition of the county work were made by Treasurer W. B. Tedford and Secretary Ralph G. Cole. The annual summer camp will be held at Catalina Island July 2-14, and if plans materialize the Orange county boys will be there alone, to the number of about 75, for more are planning to go than can be accommodated in a joint camp with the San Bernardino boys, as in recent years. Messers Bennett, Griset and Lewis were appointed a camp committee, and the folders will be distributed and the first opportunity to enlist for the camp will be given at the April 21 banquet. F. D. Plavin of Talbert and Andrew Moore of Wintersburg were appointed a day we had better offer inducements to the farmers to speed up their efforts to feed the people, and show them how they will be justified in going to the labor market and paying good wages for the same class of labor for farm work as the gun and battleship factories pay labor to serve the government." This fact cannot be too strongly emphasized. Desirable as it is to fill up the army and navy, it is no less desirable that the farms should have their full compliment of men. It is not desirable that in this emergency for our farmers to "beat their plow-shares into swerds." In the planting time of 1917, it is just as patriotic to drive a plow as to carry a rifle or point a battleship gun.

It is the kind of evidence we accept as true because we know we can prove it for ourselves. There has been plenty of such evidence in the Anaheim papers lately, and this straightforward testimony has established a confidence in the minds of Anaheim people that will not be easily shaken. Louis Dauser, retired farmer, 425 W. Center St., Anaheim, says: "I suffered with sharp stitches in my back that took me at any time and without warning, leaving my back so weak, lame and painful that I could hardly hold up. Believing this trouble was due to disordered kidneys, I used Doan's Kidney Pills. They removed the trouble. I have depended on this medicine whenever I have had any pain or lameness in my back." Statement given March 22, 1913.) Still uses Doan's. On February 15, 1916, Mr. Dauser said: "I still retain my faith in Doan's Kidney Pills and always receive the best of results whenever I use them." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simple ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Dather has twice publicly recommended. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N.Y.

SOLDIERS OF AGRICULTURE Only one family out of three in the United States is engaged in agricultural production. Thus every farmer must produce food for two families in addition to his own, if the wants of our people are to be satisfied. To this need must be added the foreign demand, far greater this year than ever before. Whether we like it or not, much of our food will be drained off by Europe. It is estimated that 40,000,000 men today are withdrawn from agricultural work by military exigencies, engaged only in consuming and destroying instead of producing. Our own tillers of the soil must assume as much as possible of the duty necessarily neglected by those 40,000,000. We need soldiers and sailors today. But we need farmers just as much. Says B. F. Yoakum, one of the nation's foremost railroad men: "For every man who must shoulder a rifle for military duty we had better furnish inducement for another to take up a hoe for farm work. For every farm laborer who leaves the farm for the ammunition factory to earn $3" ANCIENT HISTORY IN MODERN WAR Ancient history should be a very live subject today. The war has entered the remote East and has sent back to us the names of ancient cities and lands and peoples which hitherto have seemed only memories of a dead past. A modern war is being fought in the picturesque lands where civilization began. The British have taken the city of Gaza, the mighty gates of which Samson carried away on his shoulders, Christian armies are marching on Jerusalem and restoring Palestine to the Christian world. The twentieth century crusade is not called forth by the sentimental reasons that stirred Richard the Lion Heart in the Middle Ages. Today the British are after food supplies that are of great importance to the Turks; they need the important military headquarters at Jerusalem; they intend to remove forever from Egypt the menace of Turkish invasion. So, too, the Dardanelles campaign reopened to the student the Homeric world. Ancient Troy became real. The Bagdad of the Arabian Nights was recently captured by a British army. Nineveh and Babylon have shaken off the dust of centuries. They have become real to the modern world as no archaeological research has made them. The Arabs, the true Mohammedans, have regained their loved cities of Mecca and Medina. British troops have encamped on the reputed site of the Garden of Eden. The Russians are fighting around Mount Ararat, where Noah's Ark came to rest. There have been battles near Mount Sinai. The geography and history of the ancient world are stirring with the struggle of today. A European war has restored them to life and given the picturesque lands of which they tell a fresh interest and significance. THE GEOLOGIC FORMATIONS OF CALIFORNIA The state mining bureau, under the direction of Fletcher Hamilton, state mineralogist, has just issued Bulletin No. 72, with the above title. It was written by Prof James Perrin Smith of Stanford University, and contains a complete bibliography and resume of all of our present knowledge relative to the geological formations occurring in California. It also contains much previously unpublished data, and covers 41 pages, and six tables showing geologic columns. The bulletin is published in conjunction with the geologic map of California recently published, and is sold separately, price 25s, postage prepaid.
