HOLD HEARING ON CAPT. LEED'S REPORT SUPERVISORS REQUEST A DATE AND INVITE SENATORS PHELAN AND JOHNSON TO ATTEND COUNTY PURCHASING AGENT INSTRUCTED TO PURCHASE A NEW AMBULANCE FOR HOSPITAL County Clerk Edwards was directed by the board of supervisors at Thursday's meeting to communicate with the board of army engineers requesting a hearing on the report of Capt. Charles T. Leeds regarding Newport Harbor, also to ask Senators Phelan and Johnson to appear at the hearing. The clerk was directed to publish in the Santa Ana Daily Register for three days, and to post in each voting precinct in the county, a notice calling for applications for position as election officers for special harbor bonds election. The chairman was authorized to sign the contract and approve the bonds of Steele Finley for improvement of Riverside avenue in Laguna Beach road district. The chairman was authorized to sign the contract and approve the bonds of J. S. Miller for improvement of Santa Ana Canyon road, Sec. 3. A deed given by Flora Belle Lash for a portion of county road in Archtonnales. Any such communications, whether made orally at the office of the board or in writing, sent to the board, will be treated as strictly confidential and the name of the informing party will not be made public. The new rules under which the classifications of the men is being carried on strictly provide for secrecy in confidential matters and all the members and clerks of the boards have taken the oath of office, which provides for the careful custody of the records in that respect. The first draft records were not required to be kept so confidentially in regard to certain parts of the information disclosed by the affidavits, and it is because of that fact that the new ruling above mentioned has been made. If one man falls to take his place as a soldier in the army because he has withheld material information regarding his affairs, another man, whose turn would not otherwise have come, must go to take his place. The above statements explain in part the mailing of notices on Form 1053 which call some of the men back to complete their questionnaires. All persons are informed that any information which will help the board in fairly and justly classifying every registered man will be gratefully received and confidentially treated. It is the sincere aim of the local board to treat every man with absolute fairness. It does not want to be imposed upon, and the public is equally interested in seeing that it is not. Let it have the benefit of your knowledge of certain cases coming under your observation.

The petition of Crown Stage Company for permission to extend its lines from Garden Grove to an intersection with its Santa Ana-Long Beach line was withdrawn. A fumigating license was ordered issued to A. Laswell and a spraying license was ordered issued to Geo. W. Sloop, on recommendation of the horticultural commission. The petition of Willard Foster and Scott Prather for permission to operate an auto stage line between Santa Ana and Tustin was set for hearing January 15, 1918, at 2 p.m. The petition of J. H. Morningstar, et al., for a county road 40 feet wide in Fullerton road district, was presented and read, and J. L. McBride, Chas. Eygabroad and J. W. Duckworth were appointed as viewers.

Our country is engaged in the greatest warship construction plan in history, comprising 787 vessels, including all types from superdreadnaughts to submarine chasers. Naval appropriations aggregating nearly two billions of dollars have been made since August, 1916. Coincident with the demand for increased naval work there is an equally urgent call for an increase of merchant ship construction. It is betraying no secret to say that in both branches of the service there is a shortage of technical men available for the work. The U. S. civil service commission is endeavoring to relieve the dearth of ship draftsmen by recommending to the heads of colleges and technical schools that senior students in engineering courses be given intensive training in naval architecture during the coming spring, with a view to making them available for employment as ship draftsmen in June. The commission is also receiving applications from qualified architectural, mechanical, and structural steel draftsmen, and is certifying them for employment in the navy department and in navy yards on ship work. Local boards of civil service examiners at the post offices in all of the larger cities are furnishing detailed information and application blanks. Applicants are not required to appear in an examination room for a written examination, but are rated upon their education, training and experience.

Main St. LOS ANGELES AMERICAN JAZZ MUSIC ENTHUSES THE FRENCH Populace Go Wild When the Sammies' Band Plays Them French bands are all there with the fanfare and whirligigs but they ain't on to the jazz stuff. They stood around the village square this afternoon with their trumpets and slip horns under their arms and just gaped at a band of Sammies reeling off Jazz till your feet couldn't behave a-tall. "You may be interested to know that a second year's work has brought out the fact that the fungus, Alternaria citri, as previously reported is not the only cause of drop. It has been found that much of the early dropping is caused by water deficits in the fruits caused by the climatic conditions. There is a good deal of overlapping of those two causes. Many of the fruits which fall early from climatic conditions are infected with the fungus and would have fallen later from that cause. "Investigations of the distribution and nature of the fungus have shown that honey bees do not appreciably increase the amount of infection. It is also shown that the mode of infection is a serious hindrance to successful intervention by means of fungicide sprays. We are led to conclude therefore that spraying with fungicides alone can hardly accomplish complying with Mr. Hoover's suggestion to use less wheat it is encouraging to know that Mr. Timberlake did not find a piece of white bread in any of the hotels which his party visited in Europe. The wheat flour that is being sent abroad is saved for the use of the boys at the front and in training. Mr. Timberlake was impressed with the evident desire of all the French people to give the beat of everything to the fighting men, that their efficiency might be maintained at the highest possible point." REBATE ON INCOME TAX Collector of Internal Revenue Carter has announced that a discount at the rate of 3 per cent a year will be allowed all persons who pay their income tax, either individual or corporation, before June 15. ENTHUSES THE FRENCH Populace Go Wild When the Sammies' Band Plays Them French bands are all there with the fanfare and whirligigs but they ain't on to the jazz stuff. They stood around the village square this afternoon with their trumpets and slip horns under their arms and just gaped at a band of Sammies reeling off Jazz till your feet couldn't behave n-tall, writes J. W. Pegler of the United Press staff. It started out as a kind of reciprocity concert. Both bands marched through the main stem of town, led by trumpeters, with the kids running alongside and the village girls not exactly scornful toward the Americanos. Reaching the square they separated. The Pollus took up their stand under the statue of Joan D'Arc—the same kind of statue you see in most every village in France. They played. The captain leader with the baton would prance toward the buglers on the left. Bugles would flash in the sunlight as the Pollus brandished them over their heads; then they'd blare a march tune so full of pep that you wanted to grab a rifle and start shooting every Boche in creation from the Kaiser down. It was great—for that kind of music. But, when the American hombre opened up—now, that was music. Pretty soon half the population of town was flocking to the square to get an earful of the new article. They never heard a jazz tune before today. How that old band did moan; trombones bleating, big horns comping; bugles squaking and cymbals crashing just the right kind of crash at the right place. In two minutes all the audience was swaying under the rhythmic spell of the jazz. If the drums had dropped out it would have made no difference; a thousand peasants' wooed shoes were beating a clackaty-clack-clack on the cold cobblestones. Shutttys were opened all around the square and folks leaned on the window sills drinking in the frenzied American strains—rag time ragged to the Nth power. Well sir, they jazzed every jazz tune they knew and then for an extra encore we get "Just Before the Battle, Mother" served up in jazz measure. When the musical spasm was over the French band played the "Star Spangled Banner," and everyone cryed from climatic conditions are infected with the fungus and would have fallen later from that cause. "Investigations of the distribution and nature of the fungus have shown that honey bees do not appreciably increase the amount of infection. It is also shown that the mode of infection is a serious hindrance to successful intervention by means of fungiable sprays. We are led to conclude therefore that spraying with fungicides alone can hardly 'accomplish enough good to pay for the materials and labor. We believe that while June drop cannot be eliminated entirely on account of the impracticability of controlling the weather; still it may be quite possible to so modify environmental conditions as to secure a marked increase in crop and greater profits. Suggestions as to how this may be accomplished are made in the bulletin referred to above which we hope may be ready for distribution some time in January:" In addition we have read interesting notes made by Dr. Ford A. Carpenter of the Los Angeles station of the United States weather bureau. Dr. Carpenter made extensive investigations following the hot wave of last June which removed probably 75 per cent of the usual navel crop from the trees. Dr. Carpenter goes on at some length into the contributing causes of hot waves, in which he says: "In the late spring, summer, and early fall when highs cover the north Pacific states and plateau region, light to moderate north to east winds prevail over California, and the cool ocean influences are checked or held back. The sky is clear and insolation is great, and the air is heated dynamically in moving down the mountain slopes, causing very high temperatures in the valleys and coast sections. When these conditions are very marked they produce hot waves." Summarizing his investigations in a short paragraph he adds: "Summarizing the effect of the hot wave on farm products it is generally conceded that the most serious loss will be the Navel orange crop, which in some sections is almost a complete loss. Other varieties of oranges were not seriously damaged. Lemons were injured in instances where a considerable amount of mature fruit was on the trees. Much of such fruit was burned while hanging on the trees. Fortunately the greater part of the lemon crop had been picked prior to the period of great heat, so the damage thing to the fighting men, that their efficiency might be maintained at the highest possible point." REBATE ON INCOME TAX Collector of Internal Revenue Carter has announced that a discount at the rate of 3 per cent a year will be allowed all persons who pay their income tax, either individual or corporation, before June 15, the time limit set for such payments. The rebate will be computed according to the number of days the payment is made in advance of the above mentioned date. Under the law, only returns are to be made now, but a number of individuals have already paid, based on the returns submitted since Tuesday, so they will get credit for the discount. The returns are pouring in fast, Collector Carter reports, indicating a cheerful disposition on the part of the taxpayers to come to the assistance of the government in the present crisis. Unlike ordinary tax paying time, there is no complaint or criticism of the government for levying the tax, everybody seemingly being willing to do his or her bit. SLOW IN ISSUING AUTO LICENSE BELLS 1918 Numbers May Not Be Ready Until February 1 Automobilists will probably be free from arrest for this month if they do not display 1918 auto license numbers. It is the general impression that it will be about the first of February before the bells adopted for this year will be available, especially on renewals. There is the usual first of the year rush for the license and the motor vehicle department is swamped with the big rush. The branch at Second and Hill streets, Los Angeles, issues licenses only on new cars. All renewals go through the main office at Sacramento. The change in the license plans makes the work of issuing a little slower than in past years. This year the state certifies the clearance on a car, and the owner has to carry his clearance card in a conspicuous place on his car. In the event he sells his automobile, the owner must fill out a bill of sale Shutteys were opened all around the square and folks leaned on the window sills drinking in the frenzied American strains—rag time ragged to the Nth power. Well sir, they jazzed every jazz tune they knew and then for an extra encore we get "Just Before the Battle, Mother" served up in jazz measure. When the musical spasm was over the French band played the "Star Spangled Banner" and everyone, civilians, pollus and Sammies in the crowd around the square stood at salute. Then, just to prove they could play old-style music and play it right our band gave the "Marsellaiser." ORANGE DROP Sometime ago, in conversation with Dr. J. Ellot Colt, he referred to investigations which he and his assistants were making in regard to a fungus which he believed to be the cause, in part at least, of the ordinary June drop, says the California Cultivator. These investigations have now been carried near enough to conclusion to justify publication of a bulletin which, as noted in Dr. Colt's letter following, will be issued sometime during the present month. Dr. Colt's letter was brought out because of requests for information by Horticultural Commissioner Collins of Tulare county. Dr. Colt writes: "While it will be several years, no doubt, before this investigation is completed in all its phases, still we feel that inasmuch as the causes of the trouble and the nature of the phenomena appear to have been uncovered, a progress report is warranted. A bulletin giving a brief digest of the situation is now in press, wave on farm products it is generally conceded that the most serious loss will be the Navel orange crop, which in some sections is almost a complete loss. Other varieties of oranges were not seriously damaged. Lemons were injured in instances where a considerable amount of mature fruit was on the trees. Much of such fruit was burned while hanging on the trees. Fortunately the greater part of the lemon crop had been picked prior to the period of great heat, so the damage loss is confined to autumn lemona. In this connection it may be remarked that lemon trees are continually in blossom, bud and fruit. The citrus trees, as such, were not injured. Walnuts had a splendid setting prior to the heat wave, and, while the loss has been considerable, it is believed that the net gains this season will exceed those of last year. Garden truck withstood the heat very well; only early tomatoes were seared; in one district a crop of tomatoes valued at $50,000 became a total loss. Had the heat wave been preceded by several weeks of normally warm weather, vegetation would have accustomed itself to the steadily increasing temperature, but the suddenness of the mounting temperatures and the steadiness of the driving winds followed too closely upon months of cool, moist weather." WHITE BREAD FOR FIGHTERS Representative Charles B. Timberlake of Colorado is full of his recent experiences in the war zone. The first hand information which he possesses of actual conditions at the front will command the attention of his colleagues in the debates of the session. To the people of the country who are The branch at Second and Hill streets, Los Angeles, issues licenses only on new cars. All renewals go through the main office at Sacramento. The change in the license plans makes the work of issuing a little slower than in past years. This year the state certifies the clearance on a car, and the owner has to carry his clearance card in a conspicuous place on his car. In the event he sells his automobile, the owner must fill out a bill of sale on the reverse side of his card, and this will come back to the Motor Vehicle department. Through this system they will put a curb on the wholesale thefts of cars. The man who drives must have his license, and in the event he is stopped by a policeman his license and his description must tally. Falling to have an identification will mean that the automobile owner will have to explain matters to the judge. However, there will be no particular days of grace on the time for making application for license. Should an officer have occasion to stop an autoist and he has no receipt showing that he has made application, he might get in bad. Delay in sending for the 1918 license, new or renewal, might result in inconvenience and embarrassment for the individual who neglects this important feature.

SAVE YOUR COTTON That nearly a bale of cotton is used every time a big gun is fired and that according to government reports there are 500,000 fewer bales of cotton this year than last, is the declaration of the womens committee of the national and state councils of defense in a plea made for the careful conservation of all cotton products. In a letter sent to all women's organizations throughout the state, the state womens committee calls to the attention of housewives, hotel owners and restaurant keepers the fact that thousands of pounds of cotton cloth is wasted each year through the misuse of towels, table cloths and napkins. It is a common thing for housewives, servants and hotel and restaurant workers to use good towels, table cloths and napkins for scrubbing rags, for polishing metal and for other purposes which destroy their usefulness, says the committee in a letter sent to women's organizations throughout the state. According to the state organization the daily call from the Red Cross for material for surgical dressings and bandages is becoming heavier each day and the available cotton supply the business of dealing in produce and sacks, at No. 302 East Center Street in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, under the fictitious name of Anaheim Produce Company.
