ORANGE COUNTY CAN BUILD ITS HARBOR WALLACE REPORTS TO A. C. OF C. THAT PERMISSION IS GRANTED IF BONDS ARE VOTED HUNTINGTON BEACH FACTORY MAKING LINOLEUM OF PAPER AND WOOD PULP Permission to sell bonds sufficient to complete the jetty at Newport bay and possible permission to sell enough to change the Santa Ana river from Newport Harbor to the ocean, should the county vote the proposed issue of $500,000 for the improvement of Newport harbor, will be forthcoming from the Capital Issues committee if the election is held and bonds voted. This was the report of Lew H. Wallace to the associated chambers of commerce meeting at Seal Beach Wednesday night. Wallace went to Washington some weeks ago for the special purpose of conferring with the board of army engineers and rivers and harbor committee, and the success he met with was beyond his expectations. He got everything he went after. "I hardly know where to commence my report," said Wallace, when called upon to make a report as chairman of the harbor committee. "I want to give honor where honor is due—this is not a political year so far as congressional district is concerned." save freight, for practically all the materials used in our product are procurable right here on the Pacific coast. We are releasing cotton, we are releasing men, and we are releasing cars for the government service, and by local people insisting on the home made product we can develop a good business here. "We have the only factory of the kind west of the Mississippi, and we hope to develop a big business in this territory." Dr. Freeman, one of the committee appointed some time ago to arrange for an honor roll of men serving from this county, reported. Some member of the committee will, within the next few days, visit every auxiliary and postoffice and assist in completing the honor roll. Mr. Talbert suggested that the number of delegates to the associated chambers from incorporated cities be increased from two to four and from unincorporated communities from one to two. "Ten years ago Orange county was a small county as compared to today," said Talbert. "We have increased 100 per cent in population and 300 per cent in assessed valuation, while the membership 'of the organization' has not been increased. Enlargement of the membership will interest just that many more men in the work of the county organization." Many voiced approval of the suggestion and it will be a special order of business at the next meeting.

He got everything he went after. "I hardly know where to commence my report," said Wallace, when called upon to make a report as chairman of the harbor committee. "I want to give honor where honor is due—this is not a political year so far as congressman from this district is concerned and there is to be no endorsed Republican candidate for congress—and I want to give honor to William Kettner. Had it not been for him my trip would not have been as successful as it was. He is a big man in Washington, and although a very busy man he gave me considerable time and worked hard in our interest. "I was sent to Washington by the City Council of Newport Beach to see if I could not do something that would result in the report of Col. Heuer on the harbor being published. To do that it was necessary to get the report before-congress. Three steps are necessary. The final step is the report of the Rivers and Harbors committee to congress. We did not hope for approval this year, because of war conditions, yet in order that we might be in line for an appropriation in the future, it was necessary to get the matter started, and we will get results later. "Heuer came to Newport and made an examination of the harbor and made his report on the Leeds survey. His report is a most favorable one, reports to the contrary notwithstanding. I assured the harbors committee that we did not want an appropriation—that all we wanted at this time was the release of Heuer's report so that it could be published. The board stated that they would proceed with the Heuer plans, and a public hearing has been set for July 18, at the supervisor's room in this county, to develop the matter of changing the course of the river into the ocean. In the meantime Heuer's report will be published, and it is an exceptionally favorable report to the harbor. "Through Kettner's influence I was able to go before the Capital Issues committee for a hearing on the bond issue. I returned home with a signed statement that the subcommittee of the Capital Issues Committee was in error when it advised that it had authority to withhold approval of the sale of bonds prior to their being voted." ORANGE COUNTY EATS LARGE QUANTITY OF SPUDS People Obeying Food Administrator's Recommendations Potatriots in Orange County are numerous, and are following explicitly the government's admonition to eat lots of spuds and less of wheat, according to a report just made by Mrs. A. J. Lawton, under whose direction a potato drive was made during May. Incomplete returns gathered from all sections of the county, except from Tustin southward, shows that 204,900 pounds of potatoes were sold during May by the leading stores. Because of unreported sales and the fact that many people grow their own potatoes, Mrs. Lawton is confident the total potato consumption during May was near the half million pound mark. Santa Ana led the list with 60,000 pounds, Mrs. Lawton found. Orange folks bought 49,750 pounds, according to Mrs. F. S. Chapline; Fullerton, 26-300 pounds, according to the report of Mrs. L. O. Culp; Anaheim, 27,300 pounds, according to Mrs. Frank S. Gates, and Buena Park, 6200 pounds according to Mrs. Clara Blxby. Mrs. J. G. Dunn of Garden Grove assisted Mrs. Lawton in the second supervisorial district, and found the May potato sales in the various towns as follows: Garden Grove, 8200; Talbert 2000; Bolsa 2600; Huntington Beach, 14,600; Cypress, 700, and Wintersburg, 6200. Few of the dealers interviewed had kept records of previous sales, but all reported the May sales led all the rest, showing the effect of the government's potato appeal. BOYS AND GIRLS PRODUCED FOOD More than 2,400,000 boys and girls were reached through the club work last year according to a compilation recently made by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which supervises this work in cooperation with the state agricultural colleges. Of this number approximately 350,000 made complete reports, which show that they produced and conserved products amounting to $10,000,000. In the 33 northern and western states 840,606 boys and girls were enrolled. Of this number 160,625 made complete reports and conserved products.

Heuer's report will be published, and it is an exceptionally favorable report to the harbor.

I returned home with a signed statement that the subcommittee of the Capital Issues Committee was in error when it advised that it had authority to withhold approval of the sale of bonds prior to their being voted." T. B. Talbert, reporting as chairman of the manufacturing committee, said that he had something at Huntington Beach that, in his opinion, was of more importance at this time than the harbor—the linoleum factory. He said that his company had been experimenting for some months with a substitute for cotton sheeting used in the manufacture of oil cloth, and that the results had been most satisfactory. The firm has developed a process for using wood fibre, or paper, instead of cotton sheeting. The product manufactured under the new process will wear longer than that made with cotton sheeting. It will tear easier, however, and care should be exercised in applying it. "We have been struggling to get away from the cotton situation," said Talbert, "and we have succeeded in developing this substitute. We can produce it so that it can sell at at least 10 cents a yard less than the product manufactured with cotton, and every 10 cents saved in these war times makes it possible for the public to save that much to loan the government for war purposes. "All that we are asking is that the public of Orange county boost the goods and demand them when dealing with county merchants.

Of this number approximately 350,000 made complete reports, which show that they produced and conserved products amounting to $10,000,000. In the 33 northern and western states $40,606 boys and girls were enrolled. Of this number 160,625 made complete reports and conserved products valued at $3,700,000. In the south there were 115,745 boys enrolled in the regular work, who produced products valued at $4,500,000 and 73,306 girls who produced and conserved products valued at $1,500,000. In the emergency club work in the south the club leaders reached over 400,000 boys and approximately 1,000,000 girls who produced and conserved products valued at more than $4,000,000. BETTER BABIES Predictions for a bumper wheat crop this year are no more encouraging than the prospects of an unprecedented crop of babies, is the somewhat startling sentence at the top of a bulletin sent out by the New York milk committee, but later explanations make it clear that the committee has no information of a greatly increased birth rate, but is depending upon the drive of the federal government to save 100,000 more babies born during the second year of the war than might have been expected before the development of the theory of prenatal care, as well as the scientific study of the reasons for infant mortality. As the circular continues, this is the time when infant welfare work should be spread everywhere, for healthy ANAHEIM GAZETTE babies are the only means whereby the nation can hope to preserve its population in the face of the loss of thousands of men in battle, and the surcause of immigration. What can be done along this line is best suggested by what has been accomplished in some places. New York city has the lowest baby death rate of any world city, and from 1907 to 1917, the death rate was reduced from 135.8 in the 1000 to 88.8, or less than the average for the large cities of the country. In the 163 cities of the country with more than 250,000 population the average death rate of babies under one year in 1917 was 97.5. What that means in gross figures is startling. It is estimated there were 2,678,000 living births in the United States in 1917 but that 261,105 died under one year of age. If the average of 97.5 deaths in the 1000 in the United States could be reduced to the rate in the five honor cities—all of them small, it is true—it would mean the saving of more than 100,000 babies this year and every year. The death rate per 1000 babies in Berkeley, population 40,000 is 43.4; in Alameda, population 23,000, the rate is 40.7; in Everett, Mass., population 33,000, the rate is 45.5; in Brookline, Mass., population 27,000, the rate is 41.2; in La Crosse, Wis., population 30,000, the rate is 42.2. Even in the larger cities, Omaha, for instance, with more than 100,000, the death rate for babies was only 59.2 in the 1000. There is no more important question—war question, if you please, before the country than this one, for only by the conservation of babies can the losses of the battle line and the hospital be at all balanced in the matter of population figures. RICE IN THE UNITED STATES During the last two years the pro- DECREASE IN DEATHS FROM CONTAGIOUS DISEASES Heavy Increase in Mortality From Chronic Allments Organized efforts for the control of communicable diseases in California have resulted in a 50 per cent drop in deaths from the epidemic diseases in the last ten years; according to figures compiled by George D. Leslie, statistician of the state board of health. On the contrary, deaths from diseases of middle age, cancer, Bright's disease and diseases of the circulatory system have increased to a starting extent, thus proving the need for intensive work for the prevention and control of middle age diseases. Deaths from diseases of the circulatory system in 1908 averaged 145 per 1000 deaths and in 1917 averages 177.8; deaths from Bright's disease averaged 57.8 in 1917 while deaths from cancer averaged 55.5 in 1908 and 73.3 in 1917. For the ten year period the diseases of the circulatory system averaged 169.7 per 1000 deaths; deaths from tuberculosis averaged 142.3 per 1000 and deaths from violence, including suicide, averaged 103.7. Deaths from all communicable diseases excepting tuberculosis averaged 46 per 1000 deaths for the ten years. SAVING LOST SHIPS A factor in the shipping problem that is entirely new to most Americans is revealed in a recent announcement from London. We have thought of ships sunk by the U-boats as definitely lost. There has been some talk of the possibility of salvaging many of them after the war, but such an enterprise has not been generally re- RICE IN THE UNITED STATES During the last two years the production of rice in this country has been at its maximum, between 36,000,000 and 40,000,000 bushels or, roughly 1.15 billion pounds. So far as climate and soil are concerned, the rice acreage in the United States might be increased many fold, according to the United States Department of agriculture, since in the states of North Carolina, South Carolina, George, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas Arkansas, and California, as well as in small areas in Missouri, millions of acres are adapted to the cultivation of this crop, while less than one million acres located with no comparatively few states are now occupied by rice. WASHINGTON TO WILSON To any thoughtful student of American history, the persistent propaganda that the Monroe Doctrine endangers the peace of the Central and South American republics appears inexplicable save on the theory that a powerful people is incapable of dealing fairly with less powerful ones. The Monroe Doctrine has grown by accretion. Circumstances have developed and extended it. Just now it takes on new interest for the reason that President Wilson, in a recent address to about 20 visiting Mexican editors, held the enlarged Monroe doctrine to be the naturally rallying point for an interallied Pan-American agreement in protection of the independence, territorial rights and national sovereignty of all Western Republics, both as to foreign interference and aggression as between themselves. Should this All-American idea take definite form it would mark the latest expansion of the doctrine that has served so well to smother monarchial ambitions directed at this side of the world. The Monroe Doctrine had its origin in Washington's farewell address, so far as formal statement is concerned. Washington advised against "entangling alliances" with European powers. Supplementing that advice came the necessary policy that SAVING LOST SHIPS A factor in the shipping problem that is entirely new to most Americans is revealed in a recent announcement from London. We have thought of ships sunk by the U-boats as definitely lost. There has been some talk of the possibility of salvaging many of them after the war, but such an enterprise has not been generally regarded as a very practical at present. Now we are told that the British government has been doing this very thing right along, with surprising success. In the last three and half years more than 400 ships sunk by the Germans have been floated in British waters and restored to the allied merchant fleet. During the present year the work has gone ahead with better results than ever, owing to improved processes. There have been 147 ships raised in five months. This is an average of nearly 30 ships a month, and probably equals about half of all the shipping sunk by the Germans in the same period. It has been said that there are two ways of beating the U-boats—destroying the assassin craft and building new ships faster than the assassin could destroy them. We have been succeeding of late with both methods. Now we must recognize a third remedy—saving the lost ships. It amount to a virtual resurrection. Every ship salvaged is almost as good as a new one. Thus we are administering a triple defeat to the U-boats. WHEAT EATERS ARE SLACKERS We are doing something that the people of the country cannot comprehend. We were feeding before the war 110,000,000 people in the United States. Today we are feeding 125,000,000 people in Europe and we are feeding 2,500,000 in the army and navy who have been taken out of productive pursuits. One of three essentials in food is fat. We find that one of the first things in the conservation of foods is the conservation of fats. The best way to grow fat is on a hog. Before the war Germany grew hogs.

Can any Anaheim reader doubt this Should this All-American idea take definite form it would mark the latest expansion of the doctrine that has served so well to smother monarchial ambitions directed at this side of the world. The Monroe Doctrine had its origin in Washington's farewell address, so far as formal statement is concerned. Washington advised against "entangling alliances" with European powers. Supplementing that advice came the necessary policy that no foreign power should acquire a dominating influence in the Americas. All there was of the Monroe Doctrine was this advice of Washington's, until the Holy Alliance undertook to suppress democracy in its beginnings and theratened to restore the power of Spain over her revolted colonies in the Western world, whose independence we had openly acknowledged. It was then that Monroe, on December 2, 1823, reciting this threatened restoration of Spain's power, framed the great American doctrine of hands off. President Monroe expressly stated in his message that our amicable relations with these threatened republics, whose independence we had acknowledged, justified us in regarding interference with their rights as an act unfriendly to us, in view of the fact that they would not of their own will adopt monarchial forms. Cleveland and Roosevelt put new "spine" into the doctrine and forced its acceptance in Europe. The strange part of it is that since this Monroe Doctrine is for the protection and not the constraint of he lesser republics and has so operted in fact, they should be so slow to grasp it as their real protector and chief hope. From Washington to Wilson, the Western world has been dedicated to freedom. people in Europe and we are feeding 2,500,000 in the army and navy who have been taken out of productive pursuits. One of three essentials in food is fat. We find that one of the first things in the conservation of foods is the conservation of fats. The best way to grow fat is on a hog. Before the war Germany grew hogs. England and France endeavored to do the same thing. They found it took three times the amount of tonnage to ship the forage over than it did to feed the hogs in this country and then to send them over. One of the first things Mr. Hoover did on his return from Belgium was to start a porkless day in order to conserve the fats that they might be shipped abroad. I believe there is no doubt of the fact that the people of California at the present time are doing their best as they see it, but I believe they can do more. We started out to get the consumption of wheat in the United States down to 50 per cent of what it was before the war. Here in California at the present moment we eat only 30 per cent of the amount of wheat we ate one year ago. If the people of California would stop eating all wheat we could send that wheat over to our men. Wheat is not by any means a necessity and I say it on the highest medical authority. Any person who eats wheat at this time is either a slacker or a crank.—Ralph P. Merritt, food administrator for California. The kidneys feel congested, sore and painful. The urinary passages are often irregular and distressing. The sufferer, tired, worn out and depressed. Weak kidneys need quick help. They need a special kidney remedy. Doan's Kidney Pills have stood the test. A remedy especially for kidney alliments. Can any Anaheim reader doubt this statement? Mrs. R. Long, 311 N.
