STORE LOCAL NOTES Thursday night while Charles Waffle was attending the Elk's show, "Miss Dolly Dimples," at the Grand opera house, Santa Ana, some one LOCAL NOTES The fate of the $90,000 Strain well at Placentia is a very uncertain proposition at the present. Repeated cementings have not succeeded in shutting off the water, and it appears that a great amount of additional money and material will have to be expended in order to satisfy the State Mining Bureau. Whether or not the owner will go ahead and do this work is not known at present. An expenditure of several thousand dollars more might make an oil well out of the property and it might not. This well has been in process of drilling for the past six years and is reported to have cost its owner, a Placentia orange grower, more than $90,000. The Anaheim Hemstitching and Button works is a new industry that has opened up in the Kistler building on West Center street.

Carter at the Chamber of Commerce in Los Angeles, Orange county is leading the southern part of the state in income tax returns. "I find that the people of this vicinity are patriotic and loyal," declared W. A. Cornellus. "They are not slackers in the matter of reporting their incomes, and as a result this county today is leading all the rest in making reports." "For the past week or two I have been sending in to the Los Angeles office an average of $2000 per day in cash. Instead of the number of people reporting to my office growing less as the time approached for closing the office here, it became larger. I explained this feature to Collector Carter and he came to the conclusion that I had better remain here until the first of March." "This is one of the sources the government has for raising money immediately and no one who has a taxable income should delay making a report. It will have to come sooner or later, and just as well be attended to at this time as later. Those reporting after the first of March will have to pay a penalty." A number of local residents have paid a tax of $1000 or over. Because the government has been delayed in providing blanks for excess profits, corporations and large income taxes the time for making reports on such has been extended from the first of March to the first of April." with a surprise for him.

A DEARTH OF CHEMISTS The constantly increasing demand of the government for trained scientists to assist in the prosecution of the war is not only causing many changes among employees of the state of California, but is making it an exceedingly difficult matter to fill the position vacated by those who have gone to the front. In certain branches of the state service, the situation is becoming critical. State purchasing department to enter military service. In order to fill the position, the State Civil Service commission scheduled an examination for chemists for February 2, but only one person applied. Consequently, it has been necessary to postpone the applicants may be secured. The only prerequisites of the examination are three years' recent experience as chemists in a testing laboratory, or graduation in chemistry form a university or college of recognized standing. The position carries a salary of $100-$125 a month, and in addition to valuable training and experience offers an opportunity for advancement to higher salaried positions, not only in the department itself, but in other branches of the state service. The civil service commission will be glad to hear at once from all chemists, either men or women, who feel that they are qualified to enter the examination. Applications will be accepted at the office of the state civil service commission, Forum building, Sacramento, on or before February 18, 1918.

BATS BENEFACTORS OF MAN In "a synopsis of the Bats of California," by Hilda Wood Grinnell, just issued by the University of California Press in its publications in zoology, is given an interesting account of "the little upside-down bat." Mrs. Grinnell says "Shapespeare but voiced the popular sentiment of his day when he classed the bat with toads, snakes, and newts, fit ingredients for the witches' brow. In reality, howvere, the bat is a warm-blooded, friendly little creature, as reserving of our good-will as the bird whose place he takes at twilight, when he skims the air for those insects which escape the vigilance of the bord by reason of their time of flight." The bats native to California have been found to be, with on possible exception, strictly insectivorous, and they are as valuable in keeping in check twilight and nocturnal insects as are the birds in destroying the day flying species. Among the insects destroyed are many which are harmful to agricultural, and alos disease-carrying insects, such as the mosquito. Mrs. Grinnell cites an instance where a bat-roost was built in a malaria, infested region, and in two years, when the roost had become populously tented, it was found that not only had the number of mosquitos in the vicinity materially decreased, but that malaria was much less prevalent. In the neighborhood where these experiments were carried on even the stock had suffered from the mosquitos, becoming anemic and thin in spite of being well-fed. The wisdom of erecting bat-rooats in all malaria-infested regions is suggested. The bat has few enmies — Mrs. Grinnell thinks possibly because they taste something like they smell! Young bats are born with complete milk dentition. The permanent teeth, as in other animals, are of four kinds, incisors, canines, premolars, and molars. In some species the teeth are so minute at to be functionless, and in fact they sometimes drop out Tuesday on official business, also circulating among his numerous friends here.

U-BOAT MENACE SLIGHT German Submarines Not Only a Big Nuisance, Says a British Major "It took the Germans a long while to sink one United States transport, and then how very few of your loved ones they got," said Maj.-Ian Hay Beith of the British army, in and address at Trinity Auditorium, Los Angeles. "Thanks to the splendid discipline on board the Tuscania when the blow was struck, the Germans reaper but a slender reward for all their watchful waiting." Maj. Hay said the average life of a German submarine has been four trips. His opinion is that the U-boat warfare has been reduced from a terrible menace to a big nuisance. Statistics show that Great Britain and the United States covered 7,000,000 miles of ocean last year in patrolling the seas, he said. "The British army when the war broke out consisted of 450,000 men," said the major. "That number included those on duty in all the colonies. By May, 1916, the British Isles had raised an army of 5,000,000 men, to which Canada and Australia added 1,000,000. At present we have about 7,000,000 men in the field. The mortality amount to 30,000 a month or 1000 a day, but in the long run only 5 percent of the troops perish. Ninety percent of the wounded men have a chance to recover." The Fire Company was out Tuesday evening for practice the boys going through their paces in good order. Fire Chief Burleigh Goodrich would like to see back-yards, and especially in rear of some of the store buildings, cleared of rubbish and inflammable material.
