MISSISSIPPI VALLEY FAVORS NEWLANDS BILL Vigorous Protest Against Repeal Comes from New Orleans. From information received from Mr. George H. Maxwell it is evident that Southern California is not the only part of the United States that is opposed to the repeal of the Newlands River Regulation Amendment. In a letter to Chairman, Cuttle of the Tri-Counties Reforestation Committee Mr. Maxwell incloses copies of letters from the New Orleans Association of Commerce and the Mississippi Valley Association, both of which are very strong organizations and both are carrying on an active campaign against that portion of H. R. 3184, which is intended to repeal the Newlands River Regulation Amendment. The Mississippi Valley Association is an association of Chambers of Commerce representing 400 cities in 27 states in a convention held in St. Louis September 17-18-19 and passed the following resolution: County Tax Collector, for $11.00 covering both installments of taxes on Lot 5, Block A, Spurgeon Addition to City of Santa Ana, which was purchased by the county from Emma C. Trew. The clerk was ordered to advertise for bids for construction of a cow shed at the County Farm, bids to be opened Dec. 2, 1919, at 10 a.m. The request of Attorneys Head & Rutan, representing the petitioners for formation of Buena Park and Cypress Drainage District, to withdraw said petition and stop all further proceedings therein, was granted. The hearing on the petition of J. H. Barton, et al., to abandon certain streets in the Third Road District was continued to Dec. 2, 1919, at 2 p.m. Bids were opened for improvement of E. 4th street, Mabury street and Tustin avenue, in Fifth Road District, and the contract awarded to Wells & Bressler for $10,009.87.

Wilson, et al., for vacation of Cerritos avenue crossing Santa Fe Ry. Co.'s right of way, was continued to Dec. 9, 1919, at 2 p.m. The hearing on the petition of Joe Skidmore, et al., to vacate a portion of a certain alley in the Fifth Road District, was set for Dec. 9, 1919, at 10 a.m. Bids were received for improvement of County Park road, and the contract awarded to Wells & Bressler for $29,-238.90. The County Surveyor was directed to prepare plans and specifications for curbing and gutter for Walnut and very strong organizations and both are carrying on an active campaign against that portion of H. R. 3184, which is intended to repeal the Newlands River Regulation Amendment. The Mississippi Valley Association is an association of Chambers of Commerce representing 400 cities in 27 states in a convention held in St. Louis September 17-18-19 and passed the following resolution: "We favor the development of the water power of the country and of the adoption by Congress of suitable legislation to that end, but vigorously oppose inclusion in the pending water power bill of any provision that has the effect of repealing the Newlands amendment to the Rivers and Harbors Bill of 1917, which creates a Federal Commission for the formulation of a constructive policy looking to the scientific development and use of the natural resources of the country." Everyone who is interested in this matter should write to his representative and the Senators in the United States Senate from his state requesting that every effort be made to prevent the repeal of the Newlands River Regulation Amendment. Ray Stannard Baker, President Wilson's handy publicity man at Paris, has broken out with a series of yarns that he is endeavoring to sell to the newpapers, under the title "The Inside Story of Wilson at Paris—Why He Collapsed." But what the people of the United States would like to know, Ray, is why in the peace conference the United States collapsed. Anaheim Gazette, per year, $1.50, payable in advance. ANAHEIM GAZETTE AMERICANS DIED TO SAVE RUSSIANS Foreign Legion Holds Pathway for Retreating Army. "They died to save the army." That is the official epitaph today of the "Foreign Legion" of Yudenitch's Russian forces, says a Copenhagen dispatch. Americans, Englishmen, Irish h. French, Canadians, Australians and Greeks—this heterogeneous mass of fighting men put their backs to the wall and fought until they were destroyed. But they kept open the road to safety for the remainder of the army. When Yudenitch was deserted by his allies and the Bolsheviks sallied out from Petrograd with tanks and artillery and took him on the flank, the Foreign Legion was assigned to the duty of holding the enemy until the supply trains, hospitals, and wounded could be rushed back to safety. Official reports indicate that the Foreign Legion was almost wholly destroyed, but it performed its duty. This fierce fighting took place in the vicinity of Gatchina, from which the Yudenitch troops are now rapidly retreating. It is expected they will fall back as far as Narva, because of the swampy character of the ground over which operations have been in progress. Narva is about 100 miles from Petrograd. When it is remembered that only three weeks ago the Yudenitch army was attacking the suburbs of that city and its capture seemed certain, the extent of the Bolshevik vic. the unamended league of nations. Of course if you would call the propositions of these resolutions, pygmy minded, cowardly men, petty politicians and traitors, that would be bitter, but when you apply those epithets to opponents of the league it is a manifestation of sweet Christian spirit, worthy of men who are commissioned to instruct humanity in charitableness of speaking. INSTRUMENT MEASURES WEAR OF ROAD-SURFACING MATERIAL Every user of concrete and other improved highways will be interested in an instrument which has recently been designed and made in the research division of the Bureau of Public Roads, United States Department of Agriculture, for measuring wear of concrete and other surfaces. It is anticipated that from readings made with this instrument a large amount of valuable data may be collected not only regarding concrete roads, but also concerning brick, macadam, and other types of surfaces. The instrument consists essentially of two bearing plates, each 2 inches in diameter, pivoted on uniform joints to a spanner 11½ inches long. In the middle point is mounted a micrometer whose plunger has a travel of 1 inch and whose dial is graduated to read to 1-1000 of an inch. In order to form a base to which measurements can be referred from year to year, brass plugs are set in the pavement where readings are desired. Readings are taken by resting the bearing plates on the road's surface and allowing the plunger to rest on the base plate of the plug. The cent, and with roots like turnips, 30 per cent. In preparing vegetables for the table the careful cook will remove all inedible portions and will see to it that the total amount of refuse is as small as is consistent with thorough preparation. Thin paring of potatoes and other vegetables is an economy that is worth while to practice and is an easy way to decrease loss. COFFEE HAS A KICK Six authorities on alcohol and its effect, after tests on men and women, regular drinkers, occasional drinkers, and total abstainers, have found: Two cups of coffee have as much "kick" as twenty-one pints of one-half of one per cent beer. A stomach full of 2.75 is only enough for one-quarter of one drunk. Twenty-one and a half quarts of one half of one per cent beer at a sitting are necessary for intoxication, but the human stomach will only hold one-seventeenth of that quantity. Six pints of one-half of one per cent beer rapidly consumed is the same as one teaspoonful of alcohol. These facts are contained in affidavits filed by the six authorities, including Dr. John Marshall, professor of chemistry and toxicology in the University of Pennsylvania. The affidavits were filed in federal court in support of the supplication of St. Lo brewers to restrain enforcement of the Volstead prohibition law. BETTER POTATOES A step which will mean an increase It is expected they will fall back as far as Narva, because of the swampy character of the ground over which operations have been in progress. Narva is about 100 miles from Petrograd. When it is remembered that only three weeks ago the Yudenitch army was attacking the suburbs of that city and its capture seemed certain, the extent of the Belshevik victories since that time can be estimated. CONTRACT IS LET FOR COUNTY PARK ROAD Only One Bid Presented to the Supervisors. Awarded the contract for grading the County Park road and for putting in culverts, Wells & Bressler, paving contractors of Santa Ana are making preliminary preparations looking toward the early beginning of the work. The Wells & Bressler bid, for $29.238.90, was the only one before the board of supervisors. The office of County Surveyor J. L. McBride had estimated that the work would cost $31,342.68. The work as mapped out by the county surveyor provides for the elimination of an 8 per cent and a 15 per cent grade on the section of road beginning where the county pavement at El Modgna leaves off and ending at the entrance to the County Park. In the elimination of the steep grade as it exists at present the road will be made 1200 feet longer and at its highest point will be 50 feet higher than the old road, thus making the new road much more attractive scenically, as it will afford a more unobstructed view of the valley. The new road will make a turn to the right at the foot of the grade and where it crosses the gulley. Thence it will turn east and thence north across the flat, after which the cut proper will begin. In the obviating of the grade, a heavy cut at the highest point of the road will be necessary. While the work is in progress the road will be closed to traffic, McBride said. Motorists desiring to visit the long. In the middle point is mounted a micrometer whose plunger has a travel of 1 inch and whose dial is graduated to read to 1-1000 of an inch. In order to form a base to which measurements can be referred from year to year, brass plugs are set in the pavement where readings are desired. Readings are taken by resting the bearing plates on the road's surface and allowing the plunger to rest on the base plate of the plug. The instrument is plumbed with the aid of a level and the spanner bar is held parallel to the center line of the road. Other readings may be taken with the bar at right angles to the center line of the road. An important advantage of this instrument is that accurate data can be acquired rapidly and without interrupting traffic. The base plate in the pavement is protected between readings by covering it with cotton waste and topping with putty. The brass plugs are readily set in any pavement while it is being laid, and at any future time by drilling holes with star drills and setting the plug in cement grout. DISREGARD ARM SIGNALS That delivery wagons and trucks on urban and rural highways in the southern part of the state are not paying enough attention to the new rules for arm signals is a contention of many members of the Automobile Club of Southern California. In fact, several complaints have been filed with the organization, according to its officials, stating that truck drivers and delivery boys evidently never heard that an arm or hand signal is the correct thing. They go slewing around corners, state the complaints, as though they were privileged characters who are not called upon to comply with the law. Whether or not it is just plain boneheadedness on the part of the operators of some commercial vehicles or whether it is an exalted idea of their importance which compels them to omit any signals whatsoever, has not yet been determined by the authorities but Auto Club officials are convinced that the law must be obeyed by every davits med by six authorities, including Dr. John Marshall, professor of chemistry and toxicology in the University of Pennsylvania. The affidavits were filed in federal court in support of the supplication of St. Lo brewers to restrain enforcement of the Volstead prohibition law. BETTER POTATOES A step which will mean an increase in the potato production in California was taken at the time of the Los Angeles county farm bureau meeting at Burbank last Monday. The occasion was a potato conference, an informal affair staged by the Los Angeles county farm bureau, but it had attracted to the conference potato growers from Orange, Kern, Santa Cruz and other OFFICE PHONES HOME 753-1 SUNSET 341-J.

AN AMUSING DOCUMENT One of the most amusing documents in connection with the discussion of the league of nations covenant is the resolutions put through the Los Angeles annual conference of the M. E. Church South, in session at San Bernardino, attacking Senator Johnson for his position, the Senator being of politics differing from that rather actively aired by most members of this conference. In the preamble the resolutions say that confusion as to the meaning of the pending covenant has been created "by certain petty politicians and radical newspapers, some of which had doubtful tendencies with regard to their patriotism," and then solemnly say, after this exceedingly sweet-spirited reference to the opposition: "That any man who endeavors to inject a spirit of bitterness and controversy into the present international situation is not only a traitor to his country but a traitor to the world." Of course there is no "bitterness" in casting public imputations upon the loyalty of those who differ with you on a little matter like CAREFUL COOK LESSENS WASTE IN VEGETABLES In preparing vegetables for the table there is almost always a loss due to inedible matter, such as skins, roots, and seeds. There is also a waste of good material which is caused by careless preparation. The amount of refuse varies greatly in different vegetables. In string beans 7 per cent is lost in preparing them; in onions, cabbage, leeks, lettuce and cucumbers, 10 to 15 per cent is lost, while beans in the pod, pumpkins, and squash lose 50 per cent. With tubers, such as potatoes, the average amount of refuse is 20 per Family Washing SAVE your wife the drudgery of the washtub by sending us your family washing.
