URGENT CALL FOR MORE NAVAL FLYERS University of California Wants Men Between 20 and 30 for Service Young men between the ages of 20 and 30 years are in urgent d emand as Naval Flyers, according to a statement issued at the Military Bureau of the University of California today. Men accepted for this branch of the service will be given a course of training which will fit them for commissions in the Naval Reserve Flying Corps. Time is very urgent. Only sufficient education to understand the technical course of lectures given is necessary, but where the educational qualifications are high, the applicant is given special consideration. Candidates are given a rigorous physical examination to determine their fitness for this service, particular attention being paid to eyesight, where the normal vision of 20|20 in each eye, uncorrected by glasses, must be maintained. Civilians desiring to enroll in the Naval Reserve for subsequent training and commissioning in the Naval Reserve Flying Corps should request application blanks from the Supervisor, Naval Reserve Flying Corps, Bureau of Navigation, Navy Department, Washington, D. C. Upon returning the application, filled out, to the Supervisor, with the required letters of recommendation, the applicant is notified of the approval or disapproval of his application. If approved, he is directed to report at a designated place for physical examination, and if found qualified, is there enrolled in the Naval Reserve, as Seaman Second Class. As soon as practicable, after enrollment, a man is given active duty orders to report to the Receiving Ship at Boston for further transfer to the ground school at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for a ten geles street from West Center and bumped into one of the Berger cars which was parked on the west side of the street, driving it into the lamp post. He then struck the other Berger machine, forcing it across the sidewalk into the building and wound up his career of destruction by crashing into Mills' car. All four cars were badly damaged, and were taken to a garage for repairs. Johnson claimed that the stearing apparatus went wrong when he turned the corner, and that he was unable to control the car. All four cars were insured with the Orange County Automobile Club, but Johnson agreed to pay the damages, which will total probably a thousand dollars. COTTON FOR CONVICTS Convicts of the two state prisons, San Quentin and Folsom, will have to be content with cottonade trousers and hickory shirts instead of the woolen uniforms they have been accustomed to wear if the recommendation of State Purchasing Agent McMillen is adopted by the prison authorities. McMillan discovered that a saving to the state of between $15,000 and $20,000 per year could be made if the cottonade uniforms were substituted for the woolen garments, and so recommended the change to the prison heads. The cost of cottonade per yard is 371-2 cents against $2 per yard for woolen trousers and 30 cents per yard for hickory against $1.80 for woolen shirting.

As soon as practicable, after enrollment, a man is given active duty orders to report to the Receiving Ship at Boston for further transfer to the ground school at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for a ten weeks' theoretical course, which will be followed by approximately three months' flight training at one of the Naval Air Stations. Before a candidate may be enrolled he must present to the enrolling officer a certificate by his local draft board to the effect that his class and order number are so low that he is not within the current quota of his local board. Upon the satisfactory completion of a man's training, he is examined and if found qualified, is enrolled in Class 5, the Naval Reserve Flying Corps, and is commissioned. If a man fails in his training course he is given the choice of receiving a discharge from the Naval Service, or of being transferred to such rating as he may be found qualified to hold in the Naval Reserve for general service. The Military Bureau of the University of California in the office of the Alumni Secretary, room 114 California Hall, Berkeley, is ready and willing to answer any questions regarding this branch of the service. PREFERRED INDUSTRIES LISTED. The first clear indication of how the War Industries Board feels regarding the relative importance of our national industries has recently been made public. The board has not classified any industries as "non-essential" or imposed additional restrictions. It has merely listed those industries whose operations are considered of exceptional importance to the country in its present crisis. These industries will receive preferential treatment in the distribution of certain materials. Among other industries on the list are the following: Food—Plants manufacturing, milling, preparing, refining, preserving and wholesaling food for human consumption. Farm Implements — Manufacturers, exclusively of agricultural implements and farm operating equipment. Fertilizers — Manufacturers of fer- The cost of cottonade per yard is 371-2 cents against $2 per yard for woolen trousers and 30 cents per yard for hickory against $1.80 for woolen shirting.

GATHERING IN THE SLACKERS Phoenix, Arizona, appears to be a rendezvous for slackers who are cursed with a streak of yellow and will go to any length to avoid doing their duty as citizens when their country calls them. Federal officers swore in a number of deputies and started a roundup Saturday.

DRIVER CREATES HAVOC AMONG AUTOMOBILES Four Cars Damaged and a Plate Glass Window Demolished Four autos were considerably damaged, a large plate glass window and several feet of the marble wainscoting of the S.

Burger Company, one, a Paige, was owned by George A. Mills, and the fourth one, also a Buick, was the property of Arthur Johnson, of Olinda, who was responsible for the accident.

Federal officers swore in a number of deputies and started a roundup Saturday. A dispeatch from Phoenix Sunday says: "More than 2000 men had been taken into custody early this morning in the roundup of alleged draft evaders conducted here by federal officers. Of this number, thirty, so far, are believed to be m men who failed to register. These have been placed in jail pending further investigation. "Squads of deputies invaded motion picture shows, billiard rooms, restaurants and cigar stores, arresting all men of draft age who were unable to show classification cards. As fast as arrested the men were placed in a stockade. "Four hundred guards were placed about the city immediately after the passing of the Red Cross pageant last night. This occasion was selected because of the fact that nearly every one came down town and many nearby places sent in large numbers of their citizens. "No person was allowed to leave the business district without halting and passing inspection. Those believed of draft age who could not furnish draft classification cards were held and sent to the headquarters of the local board for examination. Those who were able to prove registration were released. It was planned to continue the drive." "To eat potatoes is the best kind of local, home grown patriotism." SANITARY CONDITIONS NEAR THE ARMY CAMPS The Deadly Germ Must Evacuate When Uncle Sam Steps In It's a long way from sunny Santa Clara Valley in California, "the valley of heart's desire," to the blood-soaked battle fields of France, but one might think that the allied armies were assembled in California, to judge from the excellent sanitary conditions found today in all of the territory surrounding Camp Fremont. Every town and city within this area conforms absolutely to the sanitary requirements of the California State Board of Health and of the military authorities. This means that every hotel, restaurant and eating house, lunch counter, cafe, cafeteria, soda fountain, ice cream parlor, soft drink stand, fruit and vegetable stand, meat market, bakery, grocery, creamery, dairy and every other place where food is manufactured or dispensed, is in perfect sanitary condition. It means also that every barber shop and billiard hall conforms to the sanitary regulations. It means that domestic and business premises are free from rubbish and that all fly-breeding places have been removed. It means that every possible menace to the health of soldiers, through sanitary conditions, has been eliminated, and this has all been accomplished with the earnest co-operation of city and county officials, as well as the citizens living in the cities and rural districts of both Santa Clara and San Mateo counties. This work was accomplished under the direction of Edward T. Ross, Sanitary Inspector of the California State Board of Health, with the active cooperation of the military authorities at Camp Fremont, assisted by the health officers and inspectors of the various cities involved. San Mateo, Anaheim Union Water Co. RunNo.1 STARTS June 1 the provision of a dressing room for workmen, clothing not being permitted in the work room of bakeries. In grocery stores, ham, bacon and cheese is kept under screens or other appropriate cover. The erstwhile open cracker barrel is now closely covered. Dried fruits are protected and every possible precaution is taken to prevent the contamination of all grocery store products. When it is considered that many of these establishments had not been renovated for a quarter of a century, some idea may be gained of the immense amount of work, and in some cases of the very large expenditures of money that were required. In every instance, however, the proprietors of these establishments compiled willingly with the requirements of the inspectors, and in no case has there been any friction whatsoever in securing these improvements. FOID CONSERVATION NOTES (By Mrs. A. J. Lawton, Woman Director for Orange County.) The following extracts from a letter of recent date by Mr. Herbert Hoover gives the food situation in America and the Allied countries in no uncertain terms. In speaking of the attitude of the people towards the Food Conservation movement, Mr. Hoover says: "We have demonstrated our ability not only to think together, but to act together. This response of the people is the reason for the present appeal. Our work is not yet complete. In spite of the fact that our exports of food stuffs are constantly increasing and we are approaching the minimum requirements abroad, the need for renewed devotion and effort is pressing. In the case of meat and meat products the necessity for shipment abroad is very great. Whereas the Allied consumption has been reduced to an average of about one and one-quarter pounds per person per week, we are today enjoying an average of about three and one-quarter pounds per person per week. This division is inequitable. An understanding of these facts will justify our request that the consumption of all meats, including poultry, as nearly as possible be reduced to two pounds per week per person over four years of age. In the case of sugar we are embarrassed by the necessity of using ships for carrying our soldiers and feeding the Allies, in consequence we must use sugar with real economy. We must emphasize the importance of canning and preserving on a large scale among our people this summer, and our available sugar must be conserved for this purpose. But the situation in regard to wheat is most serious. If we are to satisfy the minimum wheat requirements of our armies and Allies, and the suffering millions in the Allied countries, our consumption of wheat in the United States until the next harvest must be reduced to approximately onethird of normal. It is in- When it is considered that many of these establishments had not been renovated for a quarter of a century, some idea may be gained of the immense amount of work, and in some cases of the very large expenditures of money that were required. In every instance, however, the proprietors of these establishments compiled willingly with the requirements of the inspectors, and in no case has there been any friction whatsoever in securing these improvements.

A soldier who enters any eating place in the vicinity of Camp Fremont is assured of getting clean food, prepared and served by persons in good health, in clean surroundings. The enforcement of the regulations pertaining to these eating places is perhaps the most important of all, except the regulations pertaining to dairies and creameries. Under the strict enforcement of the state milk law, however, there is little danger of unclean milk supplies. The sterilization of glassware at all soda fountains and ice cream parlors is also an important measure, which is thoroughly enforced in all of these places. The regulations of the California State Board of Health for the sterilization of such glassware require steaming or boiling, or if this process is not convenient, the utensil may be dipped in a 5 per cent solution of lye, preferably hot. Of course, the use of individual paper cups is permitted. Formerly, it was the custom to place displays of fruits, vegetables and other food products in front of fruit stands and grocery stores, where flies could easily gain access to them. The thought of flies traveling from the fifth in street gutters to fruits and vegetables intended to be eaten raw is never pleasant, and with thousands of men in uniform in the vicinity of these places, the protection of raw fruits and vegetables from contamination by flies is important. In San Jose alone the screening of store fronts required the expenditure of large sums of money and provided work for carpenters during many weeks. In bakeries and meat markets the sanitary inspector required the installation of good floors, the thorough cleaning of side walls and ceilings, phasize the importance of canning and preserving on a large scale among our people this summer, and our available sugar must be conserved for this purpose. But the situation in regard to wheat is most serious. If we are to satisfy the minimum wheat requirements of our armies and Allies, and the suffering millions in the Allied countries, our consumption of wheat in the United States until the next harvest must be reduced to approximately one third of normal. It is inconceivable that we should fall in this crisis. For each of us who can personally contribute to the relief of human suffering it is a privilege, not a sacrifice. To meet the situation abroad and to prevent serious suffering at home it is imperative that all those whose circumstances permit shall abstain from wheat and wheat products in any form until the next harvest." Another angle to the troubles of G. Fred Pressel developed Saturday when actions to foreclose mortgages were brought against him, one by his son Carl, who holds a $4000 mortgage on property between Anaheim and Placentia, Mrs. Kate Vanatta, who has a mortgage for $5500 on property at Anaheim. Some time ago Fred Pressel married a spiritualist medium. Afterward they separated. The woman was arrested on a charge of having tried to poison him, but the case was dropped. She then sued Pressel's children on a charge of having falsely accused her of the poison plot in order to cause the break between her and their father. She lost the suit. Just what changes have occurred in the relations of Pressel and his children, who were on good terms during the trial of the damage case, do not appear. Ford THE UNIVERSAL CAR These are economical days and thus the Ford car becomes a more intense necessity than ever before, because of its universal service it has become a large part in the "business of living," because, it takes less money for operation and maintenance than any other motor car. That this is not an example boast is proven by the fact that there are more than two million Fords in daily service. More conclusive evidence of your need of a Ford car could not be given. Here it is, a daily necessity that is a daily economy. A variety of bodies meet the variety of demand—and, buy when you can get delivery. Sunabout, $435; Touring Car, $450; Coupe, $560; Sedan, $695; One Ton Truck Chassis, $600. These prices f.o.b. Detroit GEORGE DUNTON LOS ANGELES STREET AT CYPRESS Authorized Ford Sales and Service next day a dozen and a half, and the next day one dozen. Four pounds were gained. The patriotic grocer from whom he bought the fruit became interested, and gave the boy twice as many bananas as he gave other customers for the same price. Friends held banana parties for the young patriot. Walter carefully refrained from exercise that might reduce his weight, drank water and cream in wholesale quantities, and weighed many times a day. When the scales showed the correct weight had been reached, he drank some more water, and set out for the recruiting station, eating bananas. Now he has passed, and he's through with bananas forever! There will be no display and no unnecessary expense connected with the commencement exercises of the Anaheim Union High School this year. The sweet girl graduate will not appear in fluffy white of costly material, but will wear a sombre gown and a mortar board, while the young gentlemen will be clad in the khakl uniform of the high school cadets. The invitations were extremely modest and cheap, while the annual was dispensed with entirely. The class of '18 is not making any unwise expenditures, but is spending all its loose change in helping the government. There are 52 stars on the high school service flag. After Walter had obtained the consent of his parents, he still had a hard fight ahead. He was several pounds too light to be admitted to the marines. "Bananas will increase your weight," he was told, and he went in for bananas.
