NIGHT SCHOOLS ENDORSED BY A.C.OFC. WOMEN ANXIOUS TO FIT THEM-SELVES FOR BUSINESS PURSUITS FAVOR THE PLAN ARRANGEMENTS BEING MADE FOR ORANGE COUNTY DAY AT THE L. A. LIBERTY FAIR Attendance at the monthly meeting of the associated chamber of commencement at Santa Ana Wednesday night was light, only thirty persons being present. Little business was transacted. The principal subject discussed being the establishment of night schools throughout the county, the proposition being endorsed. The matter was brought up by J. C. Metzgar, who said that a good many women are looking for work who have no experience in salesmanship, and who in fact could do none of the things required in the lines open to women. That Santa Ana high school has already made preparations for the night school was stated by D. K. Hammond, principal of the school. He said that 124 applicants had been received by which the applicants agree to remain with the course for thirty-six weeks. He outlined the revision made in the day school and the courses planned for the night school to meet the practical demands of the day. A salesmanship class has been provided for the day school, and will be provided for the night school if asked lay their eggs mostly on under sides of cabbage leaves. The young worms hatch from them in four to eight days. Then each attaches itself by a thread around the body to a leaf, stalk, fence post or any other support, and transform to a pupa called a chrysalis. From this the butterfly emerges in from seven to twelve days. In Southern California there may be as many as five or six generations during the season. The last chrysalides formed in fall remain thus over winter on dead stalks and produce butterflies the following spring. All of the cabbage worms being "chewing" insects may be controlled by arsenical sprays. Spray with an arsenical in soapy water. To make 50 gallons of spray dissolve four pounds of laundry soap or other good soap in several gallons of water by boiling. Add to this enough water to make 50 gallons. Then stir in the arsenical (1½ pounds of powdered arsenate of lead or three pounds of paste form, or other arsenicals, according to directions on package.) The soap is to make the liquid adhere better to the smooth leaves. To make one gallon of spray use ½ ounce of powdered arsenate of lead or one ounce of paste form and an inch cube of soap. Dusting may be substituted for spraying, using one part of powdered arsenical with four parts of air-slaked lime. In small gardens the mixture may be shaken on the plants from a cheesecloth bag. Apply thinly while the dew is on the leaves. Since the cabbage head grows from inside the plant there is no danger from poisoning. If outer leaves are removed before cooking, spraying is safe to within three weeks of harvest. If spraying is begun early in the season there will be little damage from late broods of worms. ORANGE CABMAN INVESTIGATION WEAPON WAYNE ABBOTT OF BUILDS EFFECTIVE THROWER OF ADOPTED BY THE GATE AFTER A TEST BEFORE REPRESENTATIVE Grenade fighting, which tant factor in the present revolutionized by the use soldiers of a device invented Abbott of Seal Beach.

An order for 200 of these guns have been filled; they have been trained in their use, and will become the teachers that the use of the new become universal among can soldiers. Hundreds of these guns have been will cost complete about. The Abbott gun is now inclosing a roll of gun iron. It looks very much music roll and it can be by infantry or other trench work of trench gun several hundred pounds. That Santa Ana high school has already made preparations for the night school was stated by D. K. Hammond, principal of the school. He said that 124 applicants had been received by which the applicants agree to remain with the course for thirty-six weeks. He outlined the revision made in the day school and the courses planned for the night school to meet the practical demands of the day. A salesmanship class has been provided for the day school, and will be provided for the night school, if asked for by a sufficient number of persons. Courses in nursing are among those for the day school. D. N. Kelly made the motion urging that night schools be established in the schools of the county where practicable. The managers of the Liberty Fair, to be held in Los Angeles, by letter asked the co-operation in an Orange County Day at the fair. The secretary was instructed to make the arrangements necessary. George Huntington of Harper urged co-operation of the oil company and county in fixing roads cut up by oil well traffic. Prof. W. N. Brandenberg, of Los Angeles, made an address, among other things saying: "As a people Americans have made a great discovery," said he, "for by this war we have discovered our higher natures. We have grown over night into the new spirit. We do things because it is our duty to do them, for our homes, our women and our children." He reviewed the achievements of Americans in inventions and development, but those, he said, were not the real discovery of America. "One man, our President, had a vision," said he, "and in that vision he discovered the American heart. He had confidence in Americans. He discovered the righteous force, the majestic soul of the nation." "For scores of years we remained by the Monroe doctrine of hands off. Because of that doctrine we did not step in when Poland needed our help, when Armenians were being slaughtered. For two and a half years we saw brute force ravishing countries of Europe. Suddenly, we awakened. We found a new Monroe doctrine, a new responsibility to the world. President Wilson rescued this nation from selfishness and put it upon a plane of sacrifice." "This regenerated spirit is nowhere more positively shown than in organization. The need is imperative." "Here in Orange county you should PLACENTIA BANKER IS SANTA ANA GARBAGE MAN Forced to Foreclose a Loan and Gets a Job in Consequence A. S. Bradford, well known banker of Placentia, is a recognized garbage contractor in the city of Santa Ana. He has gotten into the situation through the loan of money on pigs belonging to a former garbage sub-contractor in that city. He has had to take the hogs to secure his loan. Declaring by resolution that the collection of garbage under the present contract had been unsatisfactory, the city council at a brief session Wednesday night voided the contract existing between the city and Eyraud Bros. and entered into an agreement with Subcontractor Tate and A. S. Bradford to take care of the garbage through October and November. Bids for doing the work probably will be called for later. Bradford will gather the garbage from the north half of the city and Tate the south half. Frank Groom has been collecting the trash under an agreement with Tate. He has been getting $137.50 per month out of the $150 per month Tate and his colleagues have been deceiving from the city for collecting trash and the garbage. Grooms demanded more pay, alleging that he is operating at a loss. He asked for $250 per month and was granted this sum under the arrangement made for October and November. Tate and Bradford will each give him one-third of the increased amount with the city taking care of the remaining third of the $75 per month increase over the original cost to the city. IN PLACE OF GERMAN DYES Official reports for the fiscal year which ended with June, published a few days ago, permit a comparison which shows the growth of our new dyestuffs industry. Here are the figures: Exports, 1918 ... $7,296,080 Imports, 1914 ... 7,241,406 In small gardens the mixture may be shaken on the plants from a cheesecloth bag.

The Abbott gun is not inclosing a roll of gun iron. It looks very much music roll and it can be by infantry or other trench work of trench guns several hundred pounds and upward each. It is more satisfactory than attachment for a rifle. Tests are declared that the Abbott paper range from 50 yards to 100 yards it can be fired more than it is adjustable to fire any hand grenade. An official test of the house before the house of repose few days ago when Congress gave permission to Connecticut gave permission to the Southern Civil invention. Information about gun was at that time leased. Mr. Abbott is a modern name may become familiar throughout the United States. He wears three stars for his three years in the service, and on that month he himself registers vice under the new selection. He has lived an intrepid life, and other chapters to his actual service alongside the trenches. He has listened, and not content with great heights in his body he has sought variety from his perch in the scending by means of airplane testing tested out. Congressman Tilson, demonstration of the gun of representatives, is edged authority in commerce.

"Here in Orange county you should be proud of the service you have rendered and are rendering to America in the production of foodstuffs. "The new conquering spirit of America now faces the $6,000,000,000 Liberty loan. We are going to raise the money. Other things have been declared impossible, such as the building of the cantonments and the erection of a port across the sea. Some may declare this impossible, but it is not. We will put that loan over." The address was ended with the recitation of "In Flanders Field." DESTRUCTIVE INSECT CAN BE CONTROLLED Expert Tells How to Eliminate the Cabbage Worm Special Field Agent of the Bureau of Entomology, U. S. D. A., 800 N. Marguerita avenue, Alhambra, Cal., sends out the following, of much interest to cabbage growers: Cabbage worms of various species are beginning to make their presence known on the fall cabbage now in the field. The most important of these is the common cabbage worm, a green larva about an inch long when grown and the parent of this worm is the imported cabbage butterfly, white with black spotted wings. The butterflies third of the $75 per month increase over the original cost to the city. IN PLACE OF GERMAN DYES Official reports for the fiscal year which ended with June, published a few days ago, permit a comparison which shows the growth of our new dyestuffs industry. Here are the figures: Exports, 1918 ... $7,296,080 Imports, 1914 ... 7,241,406 Our supply of these coal-tar dyes formerly came from Germany, and we paid a little more than $7,000,000 a year for them. After the beginning of the war our manufacturers for a time suffered much inconvenience but American chemists came to the rescue, capital was invested in new factories and additions to old ones, and the new industry was firmly established. Now we not only make enough of the leading and essential colors to satisfy our own needs, but are selling to other countries, as the export statement proves, a surplus whose value exceeds that of the imports from Germany before the war. And these sales to foreign buyers are increasing, for in June, the latest month covered by the report, they were $828,801, or at the annual rate of almost $10,000,000. Germany will never regain her profitable market for dyestuffs in the United States. The only conscription necessary in Red Cross membership is to look an American straight in the eye and ask if he belongs. By some sort of uncanny instinct a troop train of colored soldiers got routed via Turlock where the canteen was serving watermelons.

Mr. Abbott's grenade gun has been tested at Washington during the past few days and has been officially accepted by the war department after a spectacular public demonstration on the floor of the house of representatives. An order for 200 of these guns has been filled; they have been placed in the hands of officers who are being trained in their use, and these officers will become the teachers of others, so that the use of the new grenade may become universal among the American soldiers. Hundreds of thousands of these guns have been ordered. They will cost complete about $5. The Abbott gun is made of paper, inclosing a roll of galvanized sheet iron. It looks very much like a large music roll and it can be carried easily by infantry or other troops. It does the work of trench guns that weigh several hundred pounds and cost $200 malleable iron or steel the thrower himself is within the zone. "All sorts of contrivances have been devised and tried for increasing the range of the hand-grenade beyond that possible for the human arm. Even the old catapult has been tried. The Stokes mortar, firing a much larger and more explosive shell, attains a maximum range of about 1,200 yards, but below 400 yards it is not entirely satisfactory. The rifle grenade must suffice for the shorter range down to the range of the human arm. The rifle grenade is much more expensive than hand grenades. Its use for this purpose subtracts a rifle more from the firing line and injured the rifle, besides requiring the use of a special grenade discharger. "The Abbott paper gun seems to cover satisfactorily the range from 400 yards down to fifty yards. I have fired grenades from it and showed that they can be fired more than 500 yards. It is readily adjustable to fire any size, make or kind of hand grenade. "Another very important use suggests itself. Enemy machine-gun nests are the bane of an advancing force and often exact very heavy toll. They are the strongest resource of a rear guard, since they are the most difficult to dislodge by the advancing infantry, especially when tanks are not or cannot be used. They are often in shell holes where no rifle can reach them. If with one of these simple, inexpensive guns a hand grenade can be landed anywhere near the shell hole it means 'taps' for all the occupants. Masonry or concrete 'pill boxes' will be required to furnish protection from them." NO SUPERSTITION ABOUT THIS A crack in your chimney is a sure sign that you are going to move. If you dream of smelling smoke, it is a sign you are asleep and had better wake up minister of agriculture recently declared that fodder obtained from reeds procured green before the blossoming period is quite equal to good meadow hay. The collection and sale of reeds is regulated in Germany by the government, and a maximum price of $1.25 per hundredweight it fixed. With acorns, horse chestnuts and seeds of forest trees the French government has made the most careful experiments, and has issued full information as to the use of these for substitutes. Acorns may be eaten by all animals, though in differing amounts. For horses, seven pints of acorns are said to be equal to a little over five pints of oats. Acorn feeding should be suspended for a week after continuous use for a month. Horses and cattle should have raw acorns crushed and the husks removed. For pigs, the acorns should be crushed into a coarse meal and mixed with cooked potatoes, or cooked with potatoes. Horse chestnuts have been found to be especially good for sheep, one pound replacing three pounds of fodder beets. The maximum rations, however, should be two pounds for sheep. Cattle may receive from four to six pounds for fattening purposes. The chestnuts should be cooked, or cut up and well mixed with other food. Pigs refuse them in all forms, and they are poisonous to poultry, ducks and game. In Austria all horse chestnuts and acorns were requisitioned last fall. Heather has been used extensively in Germany since 1916. It is mown, then chopped and dried. The leaves and flowers are stripped from the woody stalks, which are then ground. This is known as Heather Meal No. 1, and is used, mixed with molasses and some albuminous material, to fatten pigs. Heather Meal No. 2 is made from the stems while still green and containing little wood.

It is adjustable to fire any size or make of hand grenade. An official test of the gun was given before the house of representatives a few days ago when Congressman Tilson of Connecticut gave a demonstration of the Southern California man's invention. Information regarding the gun was at that time officially released. Mr. Abbott is a modest man, but his name may become familiar to soldiers throughout the United States and overseas. He wears the service flag with three stars for his three sons who are in the service, and on the 19th of this month he himself registered for service under the new selective draft law. He has lived an interesting and at times a thrilling life, and he may add other chapters to his experiences by actual service alongside his boys in the trenches. He has been a balloonist, and not content with drifting at great heights in his balloon, frequently he has sought variety by leaping from his perch in the clouds and descending by means of a parachute. In addition to the paper gun, Mr. Abbott has turned over to the government what seems to be a very practical invention in the shape of an automatic parachute for descending from a damaged airplane, and it is being tested out. Congressman Tilson, who gave the demonstration of the gun in the house of representatives, is the acknowledged authority in congress' on ordinance. In showing this gun he said: "At an earlier stage of our war preparations we heard much about 'paper guns,' meaning, of course, designs and blueprints without the facilities for producing real guns.

BELL IN THE RACE Theodore Bell, independent candidate for governor, completely dominated the democratic state central committee election at San Francisco Saturday. When the session opened, he faced the active opposition of the "Federal Band," but during the noon recess Bell and Phelan forces got together with the result that David Ewing of Fresno was chosen chairman. Ewing was Bell's candidate. Lorin Handley of Los Angeles was named first vice president. F. Ray Grove entered the meeting with fifty Southern California proxies and started a boom for Grove for chairman. Mrs. Rose Gallagher was named second vice chairman, Mayor Carmichael of Sacramento third vice chairman, and Grove secretary. Bell was formally indorsed for the governorship.

Heather Meal No. 2 is made from the stems while still green and containing little wood. They are ground and mixed with molasses and are used for horses and cattle. Heather is used with great success also among the Northern neutrals, where it is dried, crushed, mixed with molasses and made into cakes. Experiments have been made in several countries with bracken, but this has not been so successful as heather. In Austria, however, the root of the Eagle fern, which grows as a weed in Croatia and Bosnia, is an excellent fodder for pigs. It is stated that a ration of four and one-quarter pounds is ample for a full grown pig. The use of foliage, twigs and young shoots of many trees and shrubs has been largely developed in Germany since 1916. The cuttings of all trees and shrubs may be utilized, with exception of bird-cherry, laburnum, ivy, acacia and alder. The material should be collected in the winter, before the buds burst. Sheep and goats can eat it unchopped; for other uses it is cut fine in a chaff cutter and used wet or dry; but it must be kept dry if preserved at all, otherwise it will mildew. This year it will be collected officially in Germany. The German leaf fodder office states that, "the young spring leaves are the most valuable for the making of leaf fodder, as the cellulose is still tender and soft and its layers supple and alive. The cells are full of life and filled to the utmost with plasma and sap. They are rich in salt, starch and sugar. Hence, it should be collected chiefly during May and June, as it contains more nourishment than later in the summer. Ten hundredweight of leaf fodder collected in May and June contain the same amount of digestive matter as fourteen hundred-weight collected in the autumn. It is also more nutritious then, gives the horses an appetite, strengthens their digestion, and is good for their health. The only fodder substitute of this sort used in France to any great extent is vine waste. The varieties mentioned above are the only ones which are now commonly used. There are numerous other Congressman Tilson, who gave the demonstration of the gun in the house of representatives, is the acknowledged authority in congress on ordinance. In showing this gun he said: "At an earlier stage of our war preparations we heard much about 'paper guns,' meaning, of course, designs and blueprints without the facilities for producing real guns. This was true for a long time after we were in the war as to the Browning gun. I am glad to say that so far as producing them is concerned, Browning guns, both light and heavy, are now well advanced in quantity production. "I have here today a real paper gun, made of paper. It is the invention of Mr. Wayne Abbott of California. "The Abbott paper gun or mortar is made of paper fibre, inclosing a roll of galvanized sheet iron. It looks more like a music roll than anything else and can be carried quite as conveniently in one hand or suspended from one finger. The breech block is of wood, with a simple electric battery attachment to fire the piece. "The ammunition used is in the hand grenade. The use of the grenade in this war is general, almost universal and continuous. It ranges all the way from the Stokes mortar shell down through all forms of rifle grenades to the simplest hand grenade made, which is probably the Mills or our own Mark I service grenade. Grenades are very dangerous often to friend as well as foe. In previous remarks I have referred to the great number of British dead on Salisbury plain as a result of training with the Mills grenade.

The results of some of these experiments are described by an investigator for the United States food administration as follows: In France, where the shortage has been keenly felt, especially in the case of oats, the first experiments were made with a kind of seaweed called laminaires, common on the Breton coast. Experiments are said to have shown that as a feeding stuff, three pounds of seaweed were equivalent to four pounds of oats. Horses which were fed on it grew fatter during the period of experimentation than those fed on oats; and animals suffering from lymphangitis, an epidemic disease which is rife among wounded horses at the front, improved under the diet, the disease eventually disappearing entirely. Grass wrack, another kind of seaweed, is also used in France with success; and in Germany, Holland and Denmark, seaweed of various sorts is used extensively. The French authorities recommend the use of fresh reeds for pigs, and a reed flour for fodder was put on the market in France last February.

Pine and fir needles have been used in Sweden, potato tops in Norway, hazel catkins have been dried and used as a sort of fodder flour in Germany, and in Austria-Hungary, stinging nettles were being resorted to last January. Perhaps the strangest fodder substitute of all, however, is cockchafera, a kind of beetle which are being collected throughout Germany and Austria by school children, and are reputed to be excellent food when dried, for pigs and poultry. FOREIGN TRADE RECORD Four Years of War Trade—An Analysis Exports of manufactures from the United tSates in the first four years of the war are as much in value as in the 17 years preceding the war; exports of foodstuffs in the war period are as much as in the 10 years prior to the war, while exports of manufacturing material actually show a decline. A compilation by the National City Bank of New York shows that the total foreign trade of the country in the first four years of the war was $29,232,000 and in the four years immediately August 1, 1918 began, to April 15 period is thirteen June 30, 1919.

These figures are based upon the official returns for the 48 months from August 1, 1914, in which month the war began, to August 1, 1918. The pre-war period is the four fiscal years ending June 30, 1914. How much of the increase is due to higher prices cannot be at present accurately determined. It is possible, however, to show by great groups of articles the increases and decreases in imports and exports when measured by values. Exports of raw materials for use in manufacturing, for example, show an actual decline in value depreciating the war, $15,972,000,000. The imports increased from $6,887,000,000 to $9,558,000,000, while the exports jumped from $9,084,000,000 to $19,674,000,000. The increase in imports is practically 40 per cent and in exports 117 per cent. On the import side there is a marked increase in value of importation of manufacturing material and foodstuffs, but only a very slight increase in manufactures. The total value of manufacturing material imported in the four years of war was $3,913,000,000 against $2,336,000,000 in the four years preceding the war; of foodstuffs, $2,521,000,000 against $1,661,000,000 in the four pre-war years, and of manufactures $3,058,000,000 against $2,829,000,000. Manufacturing material imported shows an increase in valuation of 67 per cent, foodstuffs 52 per cent, and manufactures only 8 per cent. The trade with various grand divisions shows medical changes. Imports August 1, 1914, in which month the war began, to August 1, 1918. The pre-war period is the four fiscal years ending June 30, 1914. How much of the increase is due to higher prices cannot be at present accurately determined. It is possible, however, to show by great groups of articles the increases and decreases in imports and exports when measured by values. Exports of raw materials for use in manufacturing, for example, show an actual decline in value despite the higher prices, the total value of raw material for use in manufacturing exported in the four years of war having been but $2,733,000,000 against $2,961,000,000 in the four years preceding the war. This falling off in the value of manufacturing material exported is due chiefly to a decline of about 33 per cent in quantity of cotton exported, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Belgium and Russia, normally large importers of American cotton, having been practically out of the market. In all of the other groups of articles exported, however, the figures of the war period are far in excess of those of the pre-war period. Foodstuffs exported in the four years of war aggregated $4,852,000,000 against $1,738,000,000 in the four years preceding the war. Manufactures exported in the four years aggregated $11,526,000,000 against $4,212,000,000 in the four pre-war years, while the group "miscellaneous" was $300,000,000 in the four years of war against only $31,000,000 in the four pre-war years, this enormous increase being due to the fact that it includes horses and mules. Thus, in the exports of domestic products, manufacturing material shows an actual decline of approximately 8 per cent, foodstuffs an increase of 179 per cent, and manufactures an increase of facturing material imported in the four years of war was $3,913,000,000 against $2,336,000,000 in the four years preceding the war; of foodstuffs, $2,521,-000,000 against $1,661,000,000 in the four pre-war years, and of manufactures $3,058,000,000 against $2,829,000,-000. Manufacturing material imported shows an increase in valuation of 67 per cent, foodstuffs 52 per cent, and manufactures only 8 per cent. The trade with various grand divisions shows radical changes. Imports from Europe in the four years of war are but $2,204,000,000 against $3,376,-000,000 in the pre-war period, a falling off of 35 per cent, due of course in part to the absence of trade with the Central Powers and Belgium, while the Allied countries at war had comparatively little merchandise to send us. The exports to Europe, however, show an enormous increase, being for the four years $13,568,000,000 against $5,-616,000,000 in the four pre-war years, an increase of 141 per cent. This total to Europe included that sent to Russia by way of the Asiatic ports. In the trade with North America the imports of the war period show an increase of 95 per cent over the pre-war period, and the exports thereto an increase of 73 per cent. From South America the imports show an increase of 114 per cent and the exports a gain of 72 per cent; in the trade with Asia imports show an increase of 117 per cent and exports thereto a gain of 121 per cent; exclusive of that sent to Asiatic ports for transfer thence to European Russia. From Africa the imports show an increase of 142 per cent and the exports thereto 75 per cent. From Oceania the imports show an increase of 152 per cent and the exports thereto a gain of 43 per cent.
