BABIES The Third Annual Report (recently published) of the U. S. Tariff Commission might appropriately be entitled, "How the War Brought New Industries to America," for a large part of the report is devoted to information on industries which we did not have before the war, and why not, how they developed here, and how to keep them. Before the war Germany had the world by the tail in the matter of coal tar dyes and chemicals. The commission census for 1918 "shows that there is no insuperable obstacle to the growth of this industry in the United States." The total production of dyes was 58,500,000 pounds in 1918, valued at $62,000,000. Listen to this: "The report also shows that, with comparatively few exceptions, prices of individual dyes were lower in 1918 than in 1917 in spite of the general rise in wages and in prices of other commodities." Thirty-two synthetic drugs of coal tar origin were made in 1918, and our "dependence on Germany is now at an end."

Listen to this: "The report also shows that, with comparatively few exceptions, prices of individual dyes were lower in 1918 than in 1917 in spite of the general rise in wages and in prices of other commodities." Thirty-two synthetic drugs of coal-tar origin were made in 1918, and our "dependence on Germany is now at an end." We were dependent on Germany for our supplies of formic, gallic, and oxalic acids before the war. "During the war the complete process of making formic acid from caustic soda and cone has been developed in the United States." "During the war a promising beginning was made in the United States in the manufacture of oxalic acid... from locally available raw materials." Similarly with gallic acid The lactic acid industry, which was developed in this country was seized by Germany before the war, but "within the last few years a refined grade... has been produced in this country and put on the market in considerable quantities. Our pre-war consumption of potash (K2O) was 270,000 short tons per year, of which Germany supplied 99 per cent. In 1918, 78 American firms had an output of 52,000 tons, and there is a fair hope of some 100,000 tons more, with additional sources in view. Potato starch manufacture has shown a great increase. Imports increased nearly fourfold between 1904 and 1914, Germany and Holland sending us almost as much as we made ourselves. Japan is now sending us 92 per cent of our imports, but our production has greatly increased, and this affords a method of using millions of bushels of culls and low-grade potatoes. Before the war, the Jena works of Germany had practically no competition in optical glass. Prior to the war, practically all chemical glassware used in the United States was imported, but as Germany was then the chief source of supply, imports ceased in 1915. Now we make our own. We exported about $180,000 worth of chemical glassware in 1918. Bureau of Standards tests "proved the American ware equal to all and superior to some of the previously imported wares." In the production of scientific instruments, Miss Ruth Grim left Friday night to finish up here agricultural course in the State university by taking the last semester at Davis. She has spent two and a half years at Berkeley, where she was fitting herself to be an expert farmerette. Miss Jessie Boyd accompanied her but will stop at Iberkeley, where she is taking a university course. On Sunday, January 18, dedicatory services will be held at the Christian Science church, corner Philadelphia and Chartres street. A cordial invitation is extended to everybody. Services from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. An enterprising Santa Ana newspaper man, basing his estimate on achievements of the past ten years, has figured that forty years hence that city will have a population of 700,000. Should that prediction prove true Santa Ana and Los Angeles will have met and consolidated, and the chances are the two sections will be squabbling over a name for the greater city. They will probably compromise by calling it Anaheim. That it cost Orange county only $1838.31 to insure all its employees in the State Compensation Insurance Fund during the year 1916, was announced by County All Commissioner W. S. Gregg, who has just received a check for $627.71, which is the final dividend, or refund, on the 1916 premium. The check has been deposited to the general expense fund. The State law requires that 70 per cent of the dividend for each year be withheld for a period of three and a half years. Carl Gifford of Buena Park was very near death's door on Tuesday following a very severe dose of antitoxin.

Germany controlled the world tungsten trade before the war. Now we have something to say about our share of it. Ninety per cent of our magnetite came from Austria-Hungary before the war. In 1917 nearly 90 percent of our supply was of domestic origin. Before the war we produced less than one per cent of our manganese requirements. We had 325 mines in 1918, with added supplies from Cuba and Brazil. "The United States became independent of British ferro-manganese and of Indian and Russian ore." Before the war nearly all our graphite came from Ceylon and Madegascar. Now a large portion of it is produced here, notably in Alabama. Thus we see that four years of war blockaded and utter prohibition of imports such as these have resulted in building up industries which would have required a decade or more of high protection in normal times to make us independent of foreign sources, and which under the policy of free trade would never have secured a foundation in this county. Shall we foster these industries through Republican protection or kill them with Democratic free trade? Carl Gifford of Buena Park was very near death's door on Tuesday following a very severe dose of antitoxin. He had been suffering with sore throat and to prevent any danger of diphtheria strong antitoxin was administered. His heart being in a weakened condition from his illness, the drug proved too strong and on arriving home from Fullerton, where he had been receiving medical treatment, this organ nearly failed him. Dr. Hasson was immediately called in and administered proper treatment, and now Carl is reported to be getting along nicely. While the dose was very severe, it has destroyed all traces of diphtheria. Pursuant to instructions from the board of supervisors, County Engineer J. L. McBride has draughted a topographical map of Orange County Park. This is one of the preliminary steps looking toward the beautification of the park by Miss Florence Yoch, landscape architect of Los Angeles and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Yoch, of Santa Ana. The board of supervisors recently passed a resolution awarding Miss Yoch a contract for the work, which will include, among other details, the laying out of walks, planting of trees and shrubbery where needed, and the beautification of the entrance to the park. Miss Yoch withh receive $1000 for her services. M. C. Guff severed his connection with the First National Bank the first of the year and is now helping the Ford agency sell cars and tractors.

The directors chosen for the First National were C. E. Holcomb, Samuel Kraemer, H. H. Benjamin, A. S. Bradford, S. C. Hartranft, F. C. Benjamin and Charles Eygabroad. The directors elected F. C.

With them was Mr. Piggott of Yakima, Wash., who recently marketed his pear, prune and grain crop for $35,000. He had twenty acres in pears and prunes which brought him $20,000. This was his first visit to this section, which he pronounced one of the most beautiful he had ever seen.

The Santa Ana canyon road has been closed to trucks by order of the board of supervisors. Contractor Finley is now engaged in laying the concrete on the last section of teh canyon pavement and will complete this within the week. It will take two or three weeks for the concrete to set, which means at least a month before the canyon will again be open to all traffic. It is impossible to maintain a by-pass along the closing gap that will support truck traffic and recent experience of truckmen in attempting negotiation of the by-pass has caused the supervisors to issue the edict prohibiting trucks passing over the canyon road at this time. Falkenstein's inventory clearance sale is in progress this week, and bargains are offered in every deaprtment-o the big store. The ladies of northern Orange county appreciate these reduction sales, judging from the manner in which they take advantage of them. A Super-six belonging to Walter Amstutz, was stolen Wednesday evening, on Center street, where it had been parked while he was in attendance at a meeting of the K. P. lodge. It so happened that Mr. Amstutz had left his key at home and the car was unlocked. hTe police were notified and a description of the machine was sent out to other officers.

Bermudez is alleged to have shot Marcelo Baiza at Anaheim several weeks ago. Baiza was found near the Anaheim sugar factory, with a bullet wound over his heart. The bullet, it was found at the hospital, had followed the course of one of Baiza's ribs and had lodged in the vicinity of Baiza's shoulder blade. This bullet was introduced in evidence yesterday by District Attorney W. F. Menton, who prosecuted Bermudez. Baiza, who has recovered from the wound, was in court during Bermudez' examination.

Frank and Hester Bond, who were arrested recently on a complaint filed by Mrs. Laura Resh charging them with embezzlement in a deal involving transfer of the Anaheim ice plant, were acquitted in a Santa Ana court Monday. The prosecution failed to show that there was any intention on the part of the defendants to embezzle money. The board of supervisors has just issued a beautiful descriptive pamphlet of Orange county which was written by D. W. McDannald, the county development agent. It is for free distribution, and the facts it tells would be a revelation to the folks back home. The Anaheim board of trade will shortly have a supply on hand. C. E.

TO THE EASTERN TOURIST OR HOMESEEKER VISIT TO ANAHEIM IS A REVELATION While, fifty years ago, Anaheim was not the blooming paradise it is today, the basic requirements were there. As a proof of this, what was then a waving expanse of wild mustard is today one of the richest, best improved and most prosperous districts in America. Many factors were to be considered carefully. Climate, soil, water, location and general living conditions were all to be weighed, each by itself and then as a composite whole, and the location which graded the nearest to perfection was to be their future home. A state-wide search was made and from all this wondrous coast paradise to select from the present site of the City of Anaheim was chosen. To the stranger who has never been in Anaheim, especially the stranger from the east, it will be impossible to convey an adequate picture of Ana- During all the years the Ford Model T One Ton Truck has been on the marriage have never had one complaint of rear axle trouble. We have had no aints of motor trouble. As the motor and the rear axle are the vital fundaials in a motor truck, we have the right to conclude that the Ford One Ton Truck has not only met the demands of business, but has done so in a satisfactory economic way. There is no other evidence so convincing as that which is from long practical experience. Ford One Ton Trucks are serving along industrial and commercial lines. You will find them everywhere. If these measures were not facts, the demand for the Ford One Ton Truck would not large as it is, because people are not buying trucks which do not give ease. Coupled with the dependability of the Ford One Ton Truck in all classes age, comes the economy in operation and maintenance. On the farm, in buy delivery, for the merchant, manufacturer, and contractor, in these days modern business methods, this worm-driven One Ton Ford Truck has become virtual necessity.

The city has three live newspapers, several theaters, over 10 miles of paved streets, over 20 miles of sewer system, an electric light and water plant costing $150,000, with a reinforced concrete tank 90 feet high and a capacity of 173,000 gallons. Anaheim has several strong marketing associations. The Randolph Marketing Company, Anaheim Walnut Growers' Association, Anaheim Citrus Fruit Association, Anaheim Orange Growers' Association, Independent Packing Company and Stewart Fruit Company, employ about 400 people. There are eleven churches, two denominational schools and four public schools in the City of Anaheim. The churches are well attended and many of them own their own beautiful houses of worship. As for the schools, no city of its size in the state boasts better schools. The Anaheim Union High School alone cost in excess of $125,000. Constant sunshine and ocean breezes make a combination hard to beat. "Spring Eternal" is the slogan of Orange County, and it is literally a fact in Anaheim. Every day in the year is growing weather and practically every day is an "out-door" day. The average rainfall for the past ten years has been about 14 inches and the rainy season is confined to the winter months, coming principally in December, January and February. During the other nine months of the year the rainfall is practically negligible. At this time every city and town is interested in war activities and Anaheim has especial cause to be proud of its patriotic spirit which enabled her to over-subscribe every call and drive that has been made.
