Oil Field Notes By ELLWOOD J. MUNGER The third week of December was a week of big wells for the oil operators of the Southern California field. Thirty-five hundred barrels' production was added to the daily output of the field. Montebello and Murphy districts were responsible for this handsome increase of production. On the Murphy property of the Standard Oil Company two wells came in aggregating 1300 barrels. At Montebello the Petroleum Midway Oil Company put an 1800 barrel well on, and the Union Oil Company completed a 400 barrel well on its La Merced property. Had it not been for a fire that halted the bringing in of Baldwin No. 23 the field would have had another big well of 2000 barrel capacity added to the already record production of the week. Development operations are very active throughout the entire southern field. Oil operators everywhere are jubilant over the outlook for the oil industry and many of the largest companies are making preparations to start a lot of new work the beginning of the New Year. The Union, Standard and General Petroleum have announced that it is on the program to take back every man who left the oil fields to serve the colors. These companies are putting on few new men at this time, and are saving the places for the boys who went "over there." On Anita Baldwin's Cienega Ranch at Inglewood, the Standard Oil Company's wild-cat well is making some very good time on the standard tools. The well is now drilling at 2400 feet. ed as success here means the opening up of a new field at Placentia. In the new Kraemer field five oil companies now have properties and three have active development work under way. The Standard Oil Company is leading the field with a producer and three wells drilling. Kraemer No. 2 is drilling at 1675. Anaheim Union Water is making hole at 2580 anl is beginning to look a little encouraging. On the Anaheim Union Water lease No. 1 is drilling past the 2600 mark and is beginning to look very good. Kraemer No. 1 was completed at 2762, and the good showing on the Anaheim Union adjoining property is occurring at about the same depth. A well on the Anaheim property will extend the west side of the Kraemer property. The Amalgamated Oil Company has commenced operations on the 400 acre Travis tract. Rig material and boilers are being put on the ground for the initial well. The Travis tract is well thought of and operators will be pleased to know that work has commenced on this property. At Olinda the Columbia Oil Company has two wells drilling, and is making good progress on both wells. No. 28 is drilling in the oil sand at 3480 feet and is looking good. No. 30 is making hole at 3350 and is going a little slow on account of the hard digging. The Olinda Land Company's No. 21, the wild-cat of the far east, continues to make hole in blue shale, there being no change to speak of in the formation in the past 100 feet. The drilling is going good at 2370. No. 20, a new well started a couple of weeks ago, shows 225 feet of hole. The Petroleum Development Company (Santa Fe) has slowed down on new development work and is devoting the major part o fthe time at present to the redrilling and cleaning out of this well, and it begins a deep one or nothing. On the Alvitre property Petroleum has its No. 2 oil sand at 2550, and the ing exceedingly good. N few hundred yards east leum Midway's No. 4 on Petroleum lease and can be a good well. Garvey N in the hard sand at 2500 No. 1, after being cement rigging up with standardatory to resume drilling stands cemented at 311 No. 1 is standing idle work is practically company No. 2.

The gravification of this big well oil is coming free from No. 1 making 300, and No. 800, the new well No. 4 output of the Red Star P to close to 3000 barrels is drilling at 2200, and No. 2700, is in the oil sand good.

The Union, Standard and General Petroleum have announced that it is on the program to take back every man who left the oil fields to serve the colors. These companies are putting on few new men at this time, and are saving the places for the boys who went "over there." On Anita Baldwin's Cienega Ranch at Inglewood, the Standard Oil Company's wild-cat well is making some very good time on the standard tools. The well is now drilling at 2400 feet. As yet no showings that would cause any excitement have been encountered. The Standard's initial well in the San Fernando field is drilling on the standard tools and shows 300 feet of hole. The standard tool method of well drilling allows a more accurate formation record to be kept and for this reason the Standard as well as other companies make a practice of drilling first wells in new districts with standard tools. As soon as a line is gotten on the formation the drilling is done with the more rapid method, the rotary. A few months ago the Union Oil Company created a new department known as the gas department and turned it loose in the Orange county and Montebello districts. This department has already saved the company 2000 in gas at Montebello, and results at Brea are also very pleasing. The Amalgamated Oil Company is continuing its efforts to get an oil well on the Anaheim Union lease at No. 42. At 3555 feet the formation is sandy shale with no great encouragement as yet. The condition of the hole is good, the pipe free, and everything going good for a deep well if necessary. At 2670 the Brea Canyon Oil Company's No. 28 has passed through 50 feet of rich oil sand heavily impregnated with gas, and the well is taking on many of the appearances of a gusher. The last well finished by the Brea Canyon came in doing 800 and this one will undoubtedly match it. No. 31 started a few weeks ago is drilling in shale at 830 feet and is going good. In connection with its development work the Brea Canyon Oil Company is putting the finishing touches on the installation of 12 gas engines and will have them all running before the close of the year. On the Orange the Columbia Oil Company is having a long run of ill luck drilling No. 7. Three weeks ago a two-section bailer became fast in the hole. A continued effort to fish it out resulted in the loss of a string of tools. The Olinda Land Company's No. 21, the wild-cat of the far east, continues to make hole in blue shale, there being no change to speak of in the formation in the past 100 feet. The drilling is going good at 2370. No. 20, a new well started a couple of weeks ago, shows 225 feet of hole. The Petroleum Development Company (Santa Fe) has slowed down on new development work and is devoting the major part o fthe time at present to the redrilling and cleaning out of old wells. In this work some splendid results are being attained. Old strippers doing two and three barrels a day are being cleaned out and deepened and are now doing 60 and 80 barrels. The showing of oil found last week on Rideout Heights by the Diamond Oil Company turned out to be of little consequence, and the drilling is to be resumed with standard tools. The oil showing was noted at 1100 feet. At first it was considered to be strong, however being at such a shallow depth the results were not good enough to stop drilling. Nevertheless it was an encouraging feature and will add interest to the continued drilling of this Whittier field wild-cat. The Fullerton Oil Company's No. 4, in the Whittier field, is making good progress with the drilling. The latest report from the well gives the depth at 2216 feet and the formation brown shale. Some fast drilling for standard tool work is being made on this well. The famous Murphy lease of the Standard Oil Company came up to expectations this week with a thousand barrel well. No. 50, completed at a depth of 4050, is now flowing at the above stated depth. The production is coming nicely and easily and the well looks like a long "ilfer." No. 44 was also a completed project and put on the beam. This well 3900 feet deep is making 300 barrels of oil. No. 35 is about to be completed, the depth is 4077 and the well is being tested out on a pumping test. No. 47 is bailing testing out water conditions at 3690. No. 58 is drilling at 3688, and No. 49 at 3894. No. 51 is making hole at 3454, and No. 52 at 2745. No. 53 is standing, having been cemented at 3797. No. 54 is drilling with 3230 feet of hole. No. 55 is a new well marked with a completed rig. No. 56 started a week ago shows better than a 1000 feet of hole. No. 57, also a recent new well, is drilling and shows 2100 feet of rotary hole. At Whittier the Standard is operating nine strings of tools and development work is making some splendid results. Helen's Petroleum Company Hershey No. 1.

CANNERS ENDOW HOUSE In connection with its development work the Brea Canyon Oil Company is putting the finishing touches on the installation of 12 gas engines and will have them all running before the close of the year. On the Orange the Columbia Oil Company is having a long run of ill luck drilling No. 7. Three weeks ago a two-section baller became fast in the hole. A continued effort to fish it out resulted in the loss of a string of tools. No. 8, the wonder well of the field that came in on its own accord, is making a regular production of 300 daily, the oil coming through the six-inch casing. The Fullerton Oil Company has narrowed its development work down in the Brea field to the drilling of one well. No. 13 is making hole at 740 feet. It is the intention of the Fullerton to get a lot of work under way in the new Kraemer field as soon as possible, and for this reason will slow up on the Brea development work. The Union Oil Company has not given up hope in Bastanchury No. 5, the well that made such a spectacular showing a month ago by shooting high gravity oil over the crown block from a depth of 4600 feet. The well is being cleaned out, and a third attempt will be made to shut off the menacing bottom water. No. 6 has passed the 4500 mark, with no oil indications whatever. The formation at this great depth being nothing better than blue shale. The condition of the hole is good and good time is being made. At 2935 the Union Oil Company's Chapman ranch wild-cat well is digging in brown sandy shale and continues to give considerable evidence of being an oil well. The formation is showing some light oil. The progress of the well is being closely watch- In this well, and it begins to look like a deep one or nothing. On the Alvitre property the General Petroleum has its No. 2 drilling in the oil sand at 2550, and the well is looking exceedingly good. It is located a few hundred yards east of the Petroleum Midway's No. 4 on the Red Star Petroleum lease and cannot help but be a good well. Garvey No. 1 is drilling in the hard sand at 2500 feet. Lieber No. 1, after being cemented at 2393, is rigging up with standard tools preparatory to resume drilling. Ralph No. 1 stands cemented at 3179, and Stone No. 1 is standing idle. Rigging up work is practically completed on Cruz No. 2. The Petroleum Midway has just completed drilling Red Star No. 4, and the result is an 1800 barrel well flowing into the tanks quietly, remarkably high gravity oil. The gravity of the production of this big well is 25.7, and the oil is coming free from water. With No. 1 making 300, and No. 3 producing 800, the new well No. 4 will boost the output of the Red Star Petroleum lease to close to 3000 barrels a day. No. 5 is drilling at 2200, and No. 7 drilling at 2700, is in the oil sand and looking good. Barry No. 1 is looking very encouraging. At 2170 feet an oil sand that is rich enough to make a good production has been struck. A fishing job extending into months is the hard luck encountered by the St. Helen's Petroleum Company on its Hershey No. 1. While drilling in a very hard sand at 2800 feet, a twist off left several stands of drill pipe in the hole. On the Baldwin Hills the Standard Oil Company last Thursday was swabbing No. 23 preparatory to bringing the well in. The tremendous rush of oil and gas out of the hole beat against the crown block and rigging with such force that the well caught fire on account of the friction. It is thought marketing of perishable products for the Food Administration. Mr. Powell, who will be in Los Angeles for a week, stated that the rules and regulations of the Food Administration will go out of existence automatically when peace is signed, and that the price of foodstuffs after the Food Administration has ceased to exist, will, as before the war, be governed by the law of supply and demand. If the return of millions of soldiers and sailors to civil life causes a rapid readjustment of wage scales and brings about a swift reorganization of living conditions, Mr. Powell asserted that it is to be expected that food prices will diminish accordingly, although he stated that he is not in a position to venture forecasts at this time. "The Food Administration," said Mr. Powell, "is readjusting its activities as rapidly as possible to remove war-time restrictions from the food as quickly as the public interest will permit. Rules and regulations which govern margins and profits and the handling of overseas food questions will continue so long as the food law is in effect. Most of the Food Administration rules have already been abolished and food industries are rapidly returning to a peace basis. "In the matter of perishable foods there were few restrictive regulations," Mr. Powell continued, "and little readjustment is now required. The fruit and vegetable industries are now on a better basis, so far as confidence and merchandising operations are concerned, than they were before the war. This is due to the heavy demands for staples abroad. The country will have to maintain intensive production next year, and there should be a brisk demand for everything we can grow." Mr. Powell expressed the belief that there will be a strong and steady market this year for all kinds of California fruits and vegetables, particularly for lime. ADVICE TO “FLU” CONVALESCENTS SPAIN AND ENGLAND REPORT INCREASE IN TUBERCULOSIS AFTER INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC. U.S.Public Health Service Warns Public Against Tuberculosis. One Million Cases Tuberculosis in United States—Each a Source of Danger. Influenza Convalescents Should Have Lungs Examined—Colds Which Hang On Often Beginning of Tuberculosis. No Cause for Alarm if Tuberculosis Is Recognized Early—Patent Medicines Not to Be Trusted. Beware tuberculosis after influenza. No need to worry if you take precautions in time. Don't diagnose your own condition. Have your doctor examine your lungs several times at monthly intervals. Build up your strength with right living; good food and plenty of fresh air. Don't waste money on patent medicines advertised to cure tuberculosis. Become a fresh-air crank and enjoy life. Washington, D.C. (Special.)—According to a report made to the United States Public Health Service, the epidemic of influenza in Spain has already caused an increase in the prevalence and deaths from pulmonary tu Helen's Petroleum Company on its Hershey No. 1. While drilling in a very hard sand at 2800 feet, a twist off left several stands of drill pipe in the hole. On the Baldwin Hills the Standard Oil Company last Thursday was swabbing No. 23 preparatory to bringing the well in. The tremendous rush of oil and gas out of the hole beat against the crown block and rigging with such force that the well caught fire on account of the friction. It is thought that small pieces of rock caused the spark that ignited the highly inflammable gas and oil, and in an instant the whole derrick was afire. The well roared and shook the country round about Montebello like an earthquake and volcano. The well caught fire at 4 o'clock in the morning, burned fiercely for a couple of hours, then bridged over and shut off most of the oil and gas greatly diminishing the fire. By running great volumes of water into the well the fire was smothered out. Hardly had all the smoke cleared away when the company's big trucks were putting the lumber on the ground for a new rig. In four days the new rig was competed, and the well will be cleaned out and put to producing before the close of the week. At the time the well was shooting oil and gas up into the derrick the estimated production was conservatively placed at 2000 barrels. Three other wells are drilling, two are standing cemented, one is rigging up, and two locations have been marked for new wells. A year ago last October Baldwin No. 3 came in at 8000 barrels and was the greatest well ever brought in the entire Southern California field. A few months ago it began to decline in production and came down at 3000 barrels. Just recently that figure has been reduced to 600 barrels. It is believed that water may be working on the well and shutting off the production. On the La Merced property of the Union Oil Company, No. 10 is a completed project and went on the beam doing 400 barrels. The well is 2725 feet deep. No. 7 is testing for water at 2380 feet. No. 8 is drilling in brown sandy shale at 2600 feet. No. 11 is drilling in shale and shell at 1850. The advent of No. 10 brings the production of the Union's La Merced up to 3500 barrels a day. CANNERS ENDOW HOSPITAL BEDS From proceeds derived chiefly from the sale of canned and dried fruits, FARM BUREAU ADDS NEW DEPARTMENT At a called meeting of Orange county dairymen at the farm advisor's office, Register building, Santa Ana, Wednesday, much enthusiasm was evidenced for the need of a cow testing department. It was, the unanimous opinion of the meeting that immediate steps be taken to enlist the dairies of Orange county for a sufficient number of cows to warrant the establishment of a testing association. Six hundred head at least are required to carry out the work in Orange county. Mr. F. H. Scribner, of the Los Angeles farm bureau, was present and pointed out the success and advantages resulting from the Los Angeles organization. One association is now operating there with one official tester who keeps the record of 1100 cows each month. Many more dairymen of that county want the tester but he has as much as he can do. A second testing association is therefore being urged. Farm Advisor Wahlberg has taken the matter up with the Los Angeles farm bureau and reports that the directors have passed resolutions favoring a two-county association, thus making a second association possible. A sufficient number of cows may then be obtained to warrant the expense of another tester. Mr. P. H. Krick, of Anaheim, was elected chairman of the cow testing department. Mr. P. H. Krick, Mr. J. T. Altken, of Santa Ana, and the farm advisor were appointed a committee to enlist the dairies, outline further plans of organization, and complete negotiations with the Los Angeles farm bureau. Washington, D. C. (Special.)—According to a report made to the United States Public Health Service, the epidemic of influenza in Spain has already caused an increase in the prevalence and deaths from pulmonary tuberculosis. A similar association between influenza and tuberculosis was recently made by Sir Arthur Newsome, the chief medical officer of the English public health service, in his analysis of the tuberculosis death rate in England. In order that the people of the United States may profit by the experience of other countries Surgeon General Rupert Blue of the United States Public Health Service has just issued a warning emphasizing the need of special precautions at the present time: "Experience seems to indicate," says the Surgeon General, "that persons whose resistance has been weakened by an attack of influenza are peculiarly susceptible to tuberculosis." With millions of its people recently affected with influenza this country now offers conditions favoring the spread of tuberculosis." One Million Consumptives in the United States. "Then you consider this a serious menace?" was asked. "In my opinion it is, though I hasten to add it is distinctly one against which the people can guard. So far as one can estimate there are at present about one million cases of tuberculosis in the United States. There is unfortunately no completeensus available to show exactly the number of tuberculous persons in each state despite the fact that most of the states have made disease reportable. In New York city, where reporting has been in force for many years, over 35,000 cases of tuberculosis are registered with the Department of Health. Those familiar with the situation believe that the addition of unrecognized and unreported cases would make the number nearer 50,000. The very careful health survey conducted during the past two years in Framingham, Mass., revealed 200 cases of tuberculosis in a population of approximately 15,000. If these proportions hold true for the United States as a whole they would indicate that about one in every hundred persons is tuberculous. Each of these constitutes a source of danger to be guarded against." What to Do. In his statement to the public Surgeon General Blue points out how those who have had influenza should protect themselves against tuberculosis. Plans have been used by United States War Department to selectively demobilize informational and in-the-wild military service and well-paid personnel at a recent event of the Shipping nite step in by the War Department. The soldiers will be training ship masters Board in Cannery. The ships permitted to disperse and sail within their training area will be released months later. No actual camps with information and a visit unteer for training or work lines for war and at sea. Seafaring nets signed up for venient port never been life will fail construction of W.B.G. has been added Kearny. ping board coast camps CANNERS ENDOW HOSPITAL BEDS From proceeds derived chiefly from the sale of canned and dried fruits, farm women's clubs in West Virginia have contributed $2,100 for the endowment of hospital beds for wounded soldiers in France. During the past summer they canned for this purpose 20,000 quarts from materials formerly allowed to waste. Nineteen of the thirty-one counties—more returns to follow—have put away for winter use 1,500,000 quarts. Farm women's clubs in this state also have taken the lead in the use of substitutes, thereby releasing a very considerable amount of food. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WILL PROFIT BY WAR Eastern States Have Been Taught to Use Our Products "The world war has been a great thing for Southern California. It has taught the people of the United States to appreciate the value of fruits and vegetables in their daily diet, and the Southland is to profit enormously by this state of affairs, because it is so extensively engaged in the production of perishable products of the soil." This opinion was expressed recently by G. Harold Powell, general manager of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange, on his return from Washington, where he has charge of the maritime obtained to warrant the expense of another tester. Mr. P. H. Krick, of Anaheim, was elected chairman of the cow testing department. Mr. P. H. Krick, Mr. J. T. Aitken, of Santa Ana, and the farm advisor were appointed a committee to enlist the dairies, outline further plans of organization, and complete negotiations with the Los Angeles farm bureau. COUNTY AGENT ORGANIZES BREEDERS Through the efforts of the county agent in Rush County, Ind., the Shorthorn breeders of three neighboring counties have recently formed an association. A veteran Indiana Shorthorn breeder asked the county agent why the breeders of that county could not organize and co-operate with the breeders in the locality. At this suggestion the county agent invited the agents in two other counties to a conference at which it was decided that it would be of advantage for the three counties to unite in an organization. Accordingly a meeting was called immediately after a Shorthorn sale, and the Knights-town District Shorthorn Breeders' Association, with 25 members, was started. The breeders, through their association, will be better able to attract buyers who would not have heard of them as individuals, to supply stock in carloads, to hold combination sales, to command better prices, to exchange stires, and to advertise more advantageously. Miss Frieda Weik, one of the Placentia school teachers, died of influenza Wednesday night. She had been sick only a week. What to Do. In his statement to the public Surgeon General Blue points out how those who have had influenza should protect themselves against tuberculosis. "All who have recovered from influenza," says the Surgeon General, "should have their lungs carefully examined by a competent physician. In fact, it is desirable to have several examinations made a month apart. Such examinations cannot be made through the clothing nor can they be carried out in two or three minutes. If the lungs are found to be free from tuberculosis every effort should be made to keep them so. This can be done by right living, good food and plenty of fresh air." Danger Signs. The Surgeon General warned especially against certain danger signs, such as "decline" and "colds" which hang on. These, he explained, were often the beginning of tuberculosis. "If you do not get well promptly, if your cold seems to hang on or your health and strength decline, remember that these are often the early signs of tuberculosis. Place yourself at once under the care of a competent physician. Tuberculosis is curable in the early stages, Patent Medicines Dangerous in Tuberculosis. "Above all do not trust in the misleading statements of unscrupulous patent medicine takers. There is no specific medicine for the cure of tuberculosis. The money spent on such medicines is thrown away; it should be spent instead for good food and decent living." SOLDIER BOYS URGED TO KEEP UP INSURANCE Should Continue the Policy After They Return to Private Life The advisability of holding to government insurance policies is impressed on soldiers and sailors in a bulletin issued by the information and education services of the United States department of labor. The returned man, it is pointed out, can have no greater asset and no greater incentive to thrift than the keeping up of his insurance. It provides protection for him in case of disability and assurance of a livelihood for his family in case of his death. In case of death a $10,000 policy entitles his beneficiary to $57.50 a month for 20 years. If he is permanently disabled, he will receive $57.50 a month during his life and if he dies before 20 years have elapsed the money will be paid his beneficiary in equal monthly installments. The beneficiary may be a wife, child, grandchild, parent, grandparent, brother or sister. These benefits are provided men who have taken out insurance at a most reasonable rate. The only requisite is that the very moderate premiums be paid regularly. By attending to this easy requirement the returned man assures comfort to himself and his family. Checks or money orders should be made payable to the treasurer of the United States and addressed to the bureau of war risk insurance, Washington. JOBS FOR SOLDIERS Plans have been agreed upon by the United States Shipping Board and the War Department under which men of the selective army now in camp awaiting demobilization are to be given official information of jobs in shipyards and in the crews of merchant vessels. NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATOR'S SALE OF REAL ESTATE AT PRIVATE SALE. In the Superior Court of the State of California, in and for the County of Orange. In the Matter of the Estate of Quirico Adot, Deceased. Notice is hereby given that in pursuance of an order of the Superior Court, of the State of California, in and for the County of Orange, made on the 5th day of February, 1918, in the matter of the Estate of Quirico Adot, deceased, the undersigned, Administrator of said Estate will sell at private sale, in one parcel or in subdivisions, as the said Administrator shall judge most beneficial to said Estate, to the highest bidder, on the terms and conditions norematter contained, subject to the confirmation of said Court, on or after the 30th day of December, 1918, all right, title, interest and estate of said Quirico Adot, at the time of his death, and all the right, title and interest that the said Estate has by operation of law or otherwise acquired other than or in addition to that of said deceased at the time of his death, in and to those certain lots, pieces or parcels of land, situate in the County of Orange, State of California and described as follows, to-wit: Lots Fourteen (14) and Fifteen (15), in Block Twenty-four (24), according to map of survey of the Town of Richfield, recorded in Bock 31, Page 61, Miscellaneous Records of Los Angeles County, California. Said sale will be made upon the following terms and conditions: Cash; subject to the confirmation of said Superior Court, each bid to be accompanied by ten per cent of the amount of such bid, balance upon confirmation of sale. All bids or offers must be in writing and may be left at the office of H. G. Ames, Attorney for said Administrator, at his office at Suite No. 1, Odd Fellows' Building, at No. 115½ West Center Street, in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, or may be filed in the office of Clark of said Superior Court of said County of Orange, State of California, at any time after the first publication of this notice and before the making of the JOBS FOR SOLDIERS Plans have been agreed upon by the United States Shipping Board and the War Department under which men of the selective army now in camp awaiting demobilization are to be given official information of jobs in shipyards and in the crews of merchant vessels. This arrangement, made public Monday at recruiting service headquarters of the Shipping Board, is the first definite step in a big program approved by the War Department, which paves the way for selective soldiers, in the period of readjustment following their military service, to secure permanent and well paid employment. There are now 1,700,000 men in the 31 military camps in this country. A considerable number of these men are skilled mechanics, while others are sailors or boatmen, or landsmen with a liking for the sea. It is estimated there will be 200,000 jobs on merchant vessels or in the shipyards available to released soldiers in the next few months. Adjutant General Roy H. Harper, of the United States army, has directed the commanders of camps and military posts to take active part in placing the merchant marine's need of men before the soldiers. The soldiers who want to go to sea will be trained aboard the Iris, training ship maintained by the Shipping Board in California. The Shipping Board's agents will be permitted to speak to meetings of soldiers, and to exhibit at soldier gatherings, motion picture films showing the details of modern shipyard work, and various picturesque phases of seagoing in the merchant marine. No actual recruiting will be done at the camps. The men will be supplied with information. After demobilization and a visit at home the men may volunteer for the shipyard work or the training on the merchant vessels. Shipyard workers will be given jobs in the lines for which they are best fitted, and at the yards that need them most. Seafaring men with experience will be "signed up" in crews at the most convenient port, while the men who have never been to sea and want to try sea life will first receive six weeks' instruction on the Iris. W. B. Geissinger, an Iris graduate, has been assigned to the work at Camp Kearny. Assignments of other shipping board representatives to Pacific coast camps will be announced later.
