May 5th—Mechanical Engineering Draftsman, Grade I—Candidates for this examination will be examined in mathematics, drafting and experience. The salary range is from $480 to $1200 per annum. Candidates must be between the ages of 18 and 60. May 5—Bridge Tender, California Highway Commission—Candidates for A wedding with a most unique setting occurred in the heart of nature, Sunday at 4 p.m., April 15, when Miss Constance German, of Garden Grove became the bride of Frederick Wintens. At the third crossing above the park, in a nook set with a huge boulder, giant sycamores and spreading box-alder, with the silvery Santiago gliding silently by, the happy couple stood, attended by Miss Georgina German and Wayne Holt, also by Misses Olive Northcross, Murill Arkley, Winifred Adland, Mildred Francis, Ruth Violet, Elsie Davis, Clara Steele, Helen Hedstrom, Hattie Brown and Lila Crane, each charming in a gown of white and carrying a bouquet of white roses, as Rev. O. W. Reinius pronounced the magic words with the beautiful ring ceremony, which bound two hearts as one. Strains of "Love's Old Sweet Song," from the violin of Irving German, brother of the bride, gave an artistic touch to complete a perfect setting. About 200 guests witnessed the ceremony. USE MORE CORN MEAL One way to reduce the cost of food for the family is to use more corn meal, where this is low in price as compared with other cereals. Corn meal at present prices, when bought at retail stores, costs about half as much per pound as wheat flour, one-third as much as rolled wheat and about half as much as broken rice. That is, it costs much less per pound than any of the other popular cereal foods, yet even the bolted corn meal usually sold, from which the germ of the grain has been removed to make the meal keep longer, has a food value which compares favorably with that of wheat flour. The old fashioned unbolted corn meal made from the whole grain, which can often be obtained by the farmer who will take his grain to mill and can often be purchased in shops and markets, contains more of the tissue building material and has what many consider even a better flavor than the bolted meal, and is much lik- UNDER THE GREENWOOD TREES A wedding with a most unique setting occurred in the heart of nature, Sunday at 4 p.m., April 15, when Miss Constance German, of Garden Grove became the bride of Frederick Wintens.

The training will continue three months. The training at this camp is for the purpose of selecting Reserve Officers. Attendance thereat will be limited to the following: (a) Reserve Officers of Cavalry, Infantry, Artillery and Engineers. (b) Citizens over twenty years and nine months and under forty-four years of age. These men must have the following qualifications: Character and sobriety. Personality, address and force. Reputation and standing in community. Ability to command respect of officers and enlisted men. In this connection, candidates are especially desired from the following classes: (c) Members of Officers' Training Corps. (d) Cadet students of military schools. (e) Other citizens, preferably, but not necessarily, those of some military experience. All must have, however, the qualifications mentioned under (b) above. This call is for the first ten thousand. This implies the best and ablest man that can be selected now from the whole country to give officers to the United States gave flight to the world. The remedy for this extremely dangerous condition is the immediate creation by Congress of a separate independent department of aeronautics, with one of the biggest executives the country can produce at its head, to have full and undivided control of the upbuilding of a great Air service for the nation. Our air service is now handled partly by the army and partly by the navy. This manner—it cannot be called system—is inherently wrong. It means divided and dispersed responsibility. It means diversion of officers from the imperative work of their respective departments at this crucial time. It means that aeronautics is the last and least of the numerous duties devolving upon these officers. An air fleet for the United States is a too intensely vital matter to be handled by boards or commissions or different departments—by diluted authority or divided attention. It must be handled by concentrated, undivided one-man control and responsibility. This is the method which built the Panama canal after four hundred years of fussing, and it is the only way. Air preparedness for the United States centers and hinges on the creation of a new government department of aeronautics. Bills for the creation of such department have already been introduced in the present Congress. Congressman Hulbert of New York and Senator Sheppard of Texas introduced identical bills in the house and senate. These bills are modeled on the bills which created the department of commerce and labor some years ago and later the new department of labor. There is reason to believe these bills have the approval of the president. The support of strong men in both houses, from the East, the Middle West and the Pacific coast, is already assured. The next immediate step is to secure sufficient additional support to insure the speedy enactment would have been located and captured within a week. Third—We need anti air craft defenses for our great cities. There should be immediate and energetic action to protect our great cities from the almost indescribable destruction from air raids. Paris furnishes a good example of such defenses. These defenses include numerous expert aviators with swift armed aeroplanes; numerous anti air craft guns capable of throwing a shell four miles in the air, mounted in and around the city, some of them on cars that can be transferred rapidly on the city electric lines; numerous powerful searchlights to cover the air above the city with a network of light; sensitive microphones to detect the sound of an approaching propeller; the whole system connected by telephone and wireless with controls in secret underground chambers like the mine casements of a fortified harbor. These are the three principal items of immediate permanent air equipment. In addition to these we need seaplanes for the use of our fleets at sea and aeroplanes for our coming great army. One thing should be recognized and borne constantly in mind—that while this immediate air preparedness is for a present military emergency, the money and effort expended on our air service will all count toward a great peace air service—towards the commercial air development which is surely coming at the close of the war and in which the United States, the mother of the flight, should have no difficulty with her resources and inventive geniuses in securing and retaining supremacy. This peace air service means the carrying of mails, the transportation of passengers and express material, the life saving patrol of our coasts, with a speed, thoroughness and cheapness, far beyond our present coast guard and revenue services.

All must have, however, the qualifications mentioned under (b) above. This call is for the first ten thousand. This implies the best and ablest men that can be selected now from the whole country to give officers to the half million troops first to be raised. Mature men also are needed in large numbers to fill the higher grades when additional forces are organized. Candidates already examined and recommended for commission, but not yet actually commissioned, are hereby informed that the war department has suspended further appointments till after the training camp. Such candidates will be admitted to the camp without further formality than simply stating their wish to attend. Letters of notification will be sent to them from the Western Department at San Francisco. Each of these letters of notification should be returned to the War Department at once with an endorsement stating that the writer wishes to attend the camp. See mode of address below. Members of the Officers' Reserve Corps, who have been actually commissioned, may attend the camps by simply expressing their wish to do so in a letter addressed to The Officer in Charge, Of Reserve Officers' Corps Headquarters Western Dept. San Francisco, California. This letter should be sent at once. The importance of the camp must doubtless be felt by all. Candidates under the paragraphs above, though they do not appear before examining board, are just as desirable as under paragraphs (c), (d) and (e).

AIR PREPAREDNESS IS RECOMMENDED BY PEARY Discoverer of the North Pole Gives Some Pertinent Facts on Matter The most vital and immediate matter in our national preparedness is air preparedness, writes Rear Admiral These bills are modeled on the bills which created the department of commerce and labor some years ago and later the new department of labor. There is reason to believe these bills have the approval of the president. The support of strong men in both houses, from the East, the Middle West and the Pacific coast, is already assured. The next immediate step is to secure sufficient additional support to insure the speedy enactment of these bills into law. The building of an air fleet for this country can then be undertaken at once, and pushed to rapid materialization. Individuals and organizations can do no more effective work for preparedness than by using the wires and mails to urge every congressman and senator to use his influence and efforts to support these bills. Collier's of March 24th has the following: "Our Army and Navy are virtually blind. We have less than 200 trained aviators in the service. These 200 will be busy training other men to fly. We have not a single aeroplane equipped with a gun. We have had to refuse 2,000 applications from men who wished to enlist in the Aerial Reserve Corps authorized by President Wilson last summer because we had no way of handling them. What are we going to do about it?" According to information obtained from the government and published in February of this year, there were in service in the Navy 37 sea planes, 53 officers and 163 enlisted men. In the Army, 73 machines, 96 officers and 600 enlisted men. On the other hand, Germany, France and Great Britain are said to have some 10,000 aeroplanes each in commission, and it is said that the personnel of the French air service numbers more officers and men than our entire army. In the matter of grasp of the importance of the new service as shown by expenditures of various countries, the contrast is equally striking. A single illustration will suffice. Canada is to expend $80,000,000 this present year in building a great air fleet. Our total appropriations for aeronautics last year were about $18,000,-000 and for this year the same. In round numbers, $80,000,000 for Canada in one year and less than $40,-000,000 for us in two years. One-fourth of the amount of our next door neighborly coming at the close of the war and in which the United States, the mother of the flight, should have no difficulty with her resources and inventive geniuses in securing and retaining supremacy. This peace air service means the carrying of mails, the transportation of passengers and express material, the life saving patrol of our coasts, with a speed, thoroughness and cheapness, far beyond our present coast guard and revenue services. England and France have built up the great air services which they now have under the adverse conditions of the greatest war in history. Previous to the war they had divided and uncoordinated control in their air work. The inexorable logic of war has forced them to create a concentrated and undivided control under one-man power. The climate of the Pacific coast, its astonishingly large number of flying days in the year, makes it ideally adapted for the location of great aviation training schools and manufacturing plants. This fact and the deep practical interest of your manufacturing concerns and aeronautic organizations, should insure the Pacific coast a leading place in the air industry of the country, but to insure this position a department of aeronautics, which can recognize the importance of these conditions and which has the power to encourage and oblige them in a sine qua non. With a separate department of aeronautics, with a man like General Goethals at its head, with the experience of Great Britain and France to guide us, we can have a great air fleet in a year. Under the present system we may never have it. If we should be crippled or seriously injured by the superior air fleets of a hostile nation, would it not be superlative irony and tragedy that we should be struck down by a weapon which we ourselves forged? It would be like the eagle of Aesop's fable—pierced by an arrow feathered from his own wing. THE FARMER'S RESPONSIBILITY The man who has all his life been a farmer knows what to do now. The entrance of the United States into the war makes it clear that the coming winter will find in camp in our own country perhaps a million and a half of men. These men will have been AIR PREPAREDNESS IS RECOMMENDED BY PEARY Discoverer of the North Pole Gives Some Pertinent Facts on Matter The most vital and immediate matter in our national preparedness is air preparedness, writes Rear Admiral Robert E. Perry. In this at the present time we are not only deficient—we are absolutely lacking and yet the expenditures of various countries, the contrast is equally striking. A single illustration will suffice. Canada is to expend $80,000,000 this present year in building a great air fleet. Our total appropriations for aeronautics last year were about $18,000,000 and for this year the same. In round numbers, $80,000,000 for Canada in one year and less than $40,-000,000 for us in two years. One-fourth of the amount of our next door neighbor with a population less than the state of New York. The immediate needs of this country are: First—A strong aero patrol and defense system along our entire coasts from Eastport, Maine, to Brownville, Texas, and from San Diego, California to Cape Flattery, Washington. A national burglar alarm, as it were, around the entire country. A year ago in a public address, which has since been printed as a United States senate document, I stated that: "We should have at the very minimum not less than 2,000 seaplanes ready for duty on the Atlantic coast and an equal number on the Pacific; 5,000 on each coast would be better." On the fifth of last February the Aerial Coast Patrol commission, of which I have the honor to be chairman wrote to the President, stating, among other things, that 1,000 aeroplanes along our Atlantic coast would increase the efficiency of our coast protection 200 to 300 per cent. Second—We need an efficient air patrol of every mile of our Mexican frontier, a line four times as long as the present European western battlefront. Had there been a dozen aviators and serviceable planes at Columbus when Villa made his raid he fable—plierced by an arrow feathered from his own wing. THE FARMER'S RESPONSIBILITY The man who has all his life been a farmer knows what to do now. The entrance of the United States into the war makes it clear that the coming winter will find in camp in our own country perhaps a million and a half of men. These men will have been suddenly called from the productive classes to become consumers. And if, on the other hand, the war should suddenly collapse this summer, there would be starving Europe to feed. These facts and possibilities impose upon American farmers the obligation of planting every available acre to such crops as will be certain to relieve the situation at home and abroad. GOVERNMENT TAKES MECHANICS Fully 500 of the best mechanics of the Santa Fe coast lines have been taken by the government for special mechanical work in the navy yards and submarine bases. The men are anxious to go because it not only offers a slight increase in wages but is also equivalent to actual military service. About a score have left the San Bernardino shops already, going North. JUST A WORD, MR. FARMER Mr. Farmer, how much land have you than can be cultivated, and what are you planning to plant?
