PROPHETS FIGURING ON COMING TRACK MEET Think Anaheim Won't Cut Much Ice This Year The dopster of the Santa Ana Blade gives the following as his estimate of the outcome of the county high school track meet to be held at Fullerton March 23: To the disinterested bystander peering from the windows over the sporting editor's desk, the big scrap seems to center between the two fierest rivals of the county, Fullerton and Santa Ana. A glimpse of the Orange aggregation, peeped as they were lining up against the local proteges on the home town track Thursday afternoon failed to reveal anything that is likely to develop into first place material in the big smoke. Over Huntington Beach way, something might possibly spring into the limelight, and again the day may pass without a ripple from the boys playing beside the big pond. Coach Sprotte has a fairly good aggregation, but whether he can whip them into the winning or not remains yet a matter of conjecture. Anaheim probably will not have to be reckoned with. Nothing has been spread on the horizon in that quarter that is likely to cause any disturbance with the other competitors. Over Fullerton way Coach Culp is getting into things after a delayed opener owing to the fact that his team stayed into the vnals in the Southern California basket ball series. Culp has some athletes in his school, and as is the case with the sly coach he is saying little but hammering away. He has a way of producing the goods, and the teams he trains make the opposing aggregation work for every lod of adjustment to new conditions. The department heads realize that a good clerk must be a contented one, and many offices have appointed welfare workers whose business is to take an unobtrusive interest in the affairs of the employees and to try to help them with their difficulties. Experiments along this line have had such good results that the number of offices which employ welfare workers is increasing. Since the war began about 25,000 employees have been added to the civil service commission, whose duty it is to recruit this branch of the service, estimates that this calendar year will add another 20,000. Stenographers are being appointed in great numbers. There is also need for clerks, both men and women, who are trained in certain special or technical lines, ship draftsmen, mechanical draftsmen, and workmen in trades connected with ship building. The representatives of the civil service commission at the post offices in all cities are prepared to furnish definite information and application blanks. CALIFORNIA BEANS COMMANDEERED Trading in white beans in California has been practically suspended for the present time by the government's action in commandeering 30,000,000 pounds of this staple, nearly the entire unsold supply in the state. It is thought that 10,000,000 pounds of pinks also will be taken over. Producers of white beans will be paid on a basis of $11.50 per 100 pounds, recleaned, f. o. b. common shipping point. For pinks, recleaned, the maximum price that dealers are permitted to pay producers is $8 per 100 pounds, though the dealers may sell for $8.50.

Culp has some athletes in his school, and as is the case with the sly coach he is saying little but hammering away. He has a way of producing the goods, and the teams he trains make the opposing aggregation work for every point they gain, win or lose. Culp's cohorts are to entertain the clans that gather this year on their own field, and this may prove some advantage. Again it may only stimulate the opposing rulers to exert themselves a little more to cop the winner's ribbon. Fullerton is making great preparations for the entertainment of the visitors. Everything is going to be attended to in the very best of style. The master of ceremonies for the day, who will bear the title, Clerk and Referee, is to be none other than Jim Donohue, world famous all round athlete and at present track coach at Occidental college. It goes without saying that there will be no discontent with the manner in which things are handled for the day's events. Donahue is to have the assistance of Physical Director Horning of the Los Angeles Y. M. C. A. Horning will act as starter. The Fullerton committee looking after the preparations consists of Emil Wetzel, president of the high school student body, Calvin Dean, athletic manager of the school, and Coach L. O. Culp. It is stated that all preliminary events of the meet are to be run off in the forenoon. This will leave the actual, speed testing, point getting races for the afternoon program. The only exception to the above program will be in the quarter, the half and the mile grind, in which events there will be no preliminary test. According to the new ruling this year there are to be two classes, one for 100 pound athletics and the other for the 120 pound class. Another change from the old order of events is to be noted in the field trials. This is that only six may qualify for each event. Consultation carried on in private with representatives of both Fullerton and Santa Ana show that each side is willing to bid for some good points. According to paper figures Santa Ana has the decided shade in ORDNANCE DEPARTMENT NEEDS MANY MEN Urgent requirements of the ordnance department of the government at the present time have been set forth in a letter to the military bureau of the University of California. It is stated that the department has special need for inspectors of artillery and ammunition, which includes inspectors of cartridge case; inspectors of assembling loading and packing of complete rounds of ammunition; inspectors of forgings; inspectors of high explosive shell loading, ballistic inspectors, inspectors of artillery ammunition steel, inspectors of powder and explosives; inspectors of brass, copper and spelter, and inspectors of trench hwar fare material. There is also need for engineers and assistant engineers of tests of ordnance material. In addition to inspectors of powder and explosives and inspectors of field artillery ammunition steel, assistant inspectors are wanted in these lines. The department also wants men to serve as assistant chemists and metallurgists, and both men and women to serve as mechanical draftsmen. One of the most urgent requirements of the ordnance department at the present time is for men to serve as mechanical draftsmen. The United States civil service commission has announced an open competitive examination for mechanical draftsmen, for both men and women. Two grades of positions are to be filled, Grade 1 bringing $800 to $1400 a year, Grade 2, $1400 to $1800 a year. The educational qualifications for both positions are the same, but applicants for grade 2 must submit evidence of more extensive practical experience in the drafting room. Men are preferred for Grade 2, but women are not barred. For further information persons in the present time by the government's action in commandeering 30,000,000 pounds of this staple, nearly the entire unsold supply in the state.

For pinks, recleaned, the maximum price that dealers are permitted to pay producers is $8 per 100 pounds, though the dealers may sell for $8.50. The purpose of the government is to prevent speculation.

Another change from the old order of events is to be noted in the field trials. This is that only six may qualify for each event. Consultation carried on in private with representatives of both Fullerton and Santa Ana show that each side is willing to bid for some good points. According to paper figures Santa Ana has the decided shade in the classics. However, and here is where the old man optimism gets in his long licks, Fullerton says, you never can tell. Perhaps Orange or Huntington Beach or Anaheim will spring a dark horse that will cop a few points that should rightfully belong to the county seat boys in every way of reckoning, and in that case the battle will go to the other team. Down on the home lot the boys are perhaps a little too confident for their own good. They declare that they have the meet on ice, sewed up and stored away. Again comes back the echo from the north end of the county: "You never can tell." WELFARE OF EMPLOYEES The federal government is not only giving close attention to the matter of the proper housing of its new appointees in Washington, but the general welfare of the employees is now considered in greater measure than ever before. Many of the young people who have come to Washington for war work are hundreds, even thousands, of miles from home for the first time in their lives. They are strangers in a strange land, and it is not to be wondered at that they become home-sick and magnify the troubles that they are bound to meet during the per- FINAL CLASSIFICATION A list of registrants has been received by the local exemption board designating the final classification as follows: Wlater L.

C. Brode of Los Angeles brought results. A check written by him and put into a bottle, tossed off a boat going from Catalina to San Pedro, came ashore at Newport Beach and was found. Everett and Louis Souder and Abman Herron discovered a bottle at the edge of the water. Inside it they saw a piece of paper. They broke the bottle, and found that the paper was a check made out to C. A. Henderson, dated Feb. 17, 1918, and signed by A. C. Brode. On the back of the check were several names, including those of F. G. Silverwood, Captain W. Shaw, and G. C. Thomas. There was also a notice to return the check and get a reward. City Marshal Porter wrote to Henderson, who is connected with the P. E., and got a reply from Silverwood, who said that there is a club called the No Hurry Club, which went to Catalina recently. The expenses of the trip were pro-rated. Instead of giving his check to Henderson, Brode put it in a bottle and threw it overboard. Henderson was much entertained over the finding of the check and sent $5 through Silverwood to be divided among the boys who found the bottle. Autoists Must Slow Up:— The state law that orders auto drivers to pass intersections under control has been invoked in a goodly number of instances at the menace crossing, corner of the state highway and Central avenue, La Habra. Thirty seven complaints were filed by the motor cops, most of them being complaints that were sworn to by ANIMAL CIRCUS IS COMING HERE Possessing the distinction of being the original and world's largest wild animal show, the Al G.

Florine with a group of pumas and Persian leopards; Bable Stark with a group of Royal Bengal and Siberian tigers. One of the sensational features on the program is the large number of Autoists Must Slow Up:— The state law that orders auto drivers to pass intersections under control has been invoked in a goodly number of instances at the menace crossing, corner of the state highway and Central avenue, La Habra. Thirty seven complaints were filed by the motor cops, most of them being complaints that were sworn to by Motorcycle Officer Carr, who has been watching traffic at the La Habra danger point. Some of these complaints are for cutting the corner, but many more are for speeding across this intersection. This crossing is particularly dangerous because an embankment stands at the southeast corner. Among the warrants issued are those for Pete Uripyer, W. L. Little, La Habra; C. F. Chandler, Santa Ana; H. T. Moenich, Olive; W. J. Richardson, Miss Thompson, Orange. Suit to Dissolve District:— The action, long threatened, that aims to set aside the formation of the Laguna Beach Sanitary District was started in the superior court Wednesday. Suit is based upon the ground that the law under which the district was formed is unconstitutional in its provisions in that it does not provide for a hearing of property owners opposed to the organization of a district. Three weeks ago Attorney Clyde Bishop, representing opponents of the district, received a letter from the attorney general's office allowing him to bring action. The complaint states that the state sues upon the complaint of Ida S. Wood. The defendants are teh Laguna Beach Sanitary District, its directors, E. E. Jahraus, Joseph Skidmore, Austin Cody, C. V. Wees and Roy Peacock, and its inspector N. Philbrook. Opponents say that the benefits to be driven by them from the maintenance of the district are not equal to the cost to them. Attorney Bishop takes the ground that the organization of the district is illegal because no notice was given for a public hearing of persons objecting to the proposed boundaries. The law was followed in the organization, but Bishop says the law is defective. He says that the same point was raised in the Van Nuys Lighting District case, by which the formation of that district and of many of the with wild animals, prominent of whom are Mile. Florine with a group of pumas and Persian leopards; Bable Stark with a group of Royal Bengal and Siberian tigers. One of the sensational features on the program is the large number of trained bears, Big Bill, the champion wrestler, being the star. Tom, Dick and Harry, juggling, horse riding seals, is another amazing spectacle. Sampson, the aviation lion, and Tom, Jerry and Brutus, horse riding lions, compris wild animal training feats that are absolutely unrivaled. Fifty comedy elephants, bears, dogs, monkeys, zubus, ponies, mules provide for the laughing spots in the entertainment. The Barnes circus has been pronounced by the most prominent critics as the "Show That's Different," a distinction gained because of the originality, uniqueness and moral character of its program and business conduct. Questionable practices or business dealings are absolutely not tolerated. A big all-new, special feature parade is presented to the public at 10:30 o'clock. Performances will be given at 2 and 8 p.m. on Wednesday, March 20th. THE 319TH ENGINEERS Five hundred men are wanted immediately for the organization of the 319th Engineers at Camp Fremont. Special authority has been received from the War Department so that men within the draft age may be accepted in this unit for service in advance to their regular draft call. The order offers an opportunity to a limited number of draft men which many of them can ill afford to let pass. The man who boasts red blood today has fight in his eye and if he is keen and spirited as will, he has something else in mind—he has adventure. The one branch of the service that embodies all that is adventurous, inventive and skillful, is the Enginer Corps. Working cheerfully under any difficulty putting over with relish the jobs that the other man calls impossible, injecting pep into everything tackled, and when the call comes for a fight, letting loose the stored-up ardor that has made the branch famous—that's with wild animals, prominent of whom are Mile.

An Afflicted Family: The death of Miss May Trefethen at San Pedro on February 21, makes the third death in this family in a little more than three weeks. Her brother, Captain Evans Trefethen, died Jan. 28. His daughter, Miss Gratia Trefethen, a teacher in San Pedro, was prostrated on the day of the funeral which she was unable to attend, and died February 8, less than two weeks later. On the day of her funeral, her aunt, always an invalid, was taken sick, and died two weeks later. It is thought the shock of the two deaths was too much for her and she gradually grew weaker till the end came. Ehe was one of the early settlers of Westminster. The interment took place Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock in the Westminster cemetery, the funeral being held at San Pedro. Quite a number of former friends, who knew and highly esteemed her, gathered at the cemetery for the last sad services, among whom were Mrs. Maria Harris and Miss Lutle Lyman of Santa Ana. Attorney Bishop takes the ground that the organization of the district is illegal because no notice was given for a public hearing of persons objecting to the proposed boundaries. The law was followed in the organization, but Bishop says the law is defective. He says that the same point was raised in the Van Nuys Lighting District case, by which the formation of that district and of many of the lighting districts in the state, including several in Orange county, was set aside. Those who organized the district planned to secure a method for handling garbage and for keeping the baches and tracts free from insanitary conditions. The 319th Regiment of Engineers at Camp Fremont is a new organization in name only, for its backbone is taken from the old 3rd Regiment serving until lately in Hawaii. There they made a record of daring and accomplishment that would fill the heart of a fiction writer with self-pity. They turned out surveys under almost impossible conditions, left the other branches in the dust on hikes and athletics, and withal, filled themselves with health, manliness and clean fun. These men are receiving their reward in promotions to fill a few of the many non commissioned berths open in the new organization. Under officers who have heart and soul in the game, they are now training for an early chance to match Yankee brains—which they typify—with the soulless thing called "Kultur." In the first place, the engineers constitute one of the highest branches of the military service. They are called upon to perform all manner of work requiring a technical and scientific knowledge. Upon them may depend the success or failure of a great offence. Rev. Jones of the Friends church, conducted the burial service and a quartet sang "Sometime We'll Understand."
