BIGGEST YEAR IN MEAT INSPECTION The federal system of meat inspection, which is conducted by the Bureau of Animal Industry of the United States Department of Agriculture recorded its biggest twelve months in the last fiscal year. The number of animals slaughtered under federal inspection was 20.6 per cent greater than in the preceding fiscal year and 21.6 per cent greater than the average for the last twelve years. The total number of animals inspected was 70,708,637. The ante-mortem inspection resulted in the condemnation of 2,588 live animals on account of 18 different diseases and conditions. Post-mortem examination revealed 40 different diseases and conditions, resulting in the condemnation of 212,245 carcasses and 603,050 parts of carcasses. The seven meat-inspection laboratories which are a part of the service made more than 60,000 analyses of products. Analyses revealed 306 violations of regulations. Employees in the meat-inspection service number about 2,500, including veterinary inspectors, experts in sanitation, laboratory inspectors, lay inspectors, clerks, and others. The number of establishments at which inspection was conducted last year was 895, located in 263 cities and towns. There were certified for export 3,942,070,795 pounds of meat and meat products. The total amount of meat offered production and distribution of poyer will be possible for our manufacturers to decrease their production expenses and compete successfully in the world's markets, maintaining at the same time the American standard of wages and living." ANTI-VIVISECTION SOCIETY AFTER THE ADVENTISTS Declares Loma Linda Sanitarium Breeds Animals for Torture. The California Anti-Vivisection Society has unearthed conditions at the College of Medical Evangelists at Loma Linda, California, which they say call loudly for a radical remedy. This institution is conducted by the Seventh Day Adventists, and is connected intimately with the Loma Linda Sanitarium, one of their most notable health resorts in America. It has been discovered that vivisection not only is practiced there for the acquirement of serums, but that live animals are used on a large scale for experimentation. In a report just submitted to the society, Mrs. Rosemonde Rae Wright, president of that body, outlines the result of recent investigations inaugurated by the California Anti-Vivisection Society for the purpose of ascertaining the extent of vivisection at Loma Linda. According to her report, authenticated proof has been obtained that an extensive plant has been built up there for the breeding of animals to be used in vivisection. Dogs and cats, rabbits, Guinea pigs and other animals it is averred have been years after this reason dependent on these mercial Smyrna thousands of distributed to growing regions and Texas; varieties have proper selection.

Approx are Smyrna caprifig varie A GREAT POWER PROGRAM Under the war demand for fuel conservation the hydraulic engineers of the United States Geological Survey, served the Fuel Administration in a field study of power problems. A power survey of the United States was begun, and at the end of the war Secretary of the Interior Lane asked of Congress two appropriations, one of $50,000, for continuing this power survey over the whole United States, and the other of $200,000, for an intensive survey of the industrial zone of the East, where power requirements are most congested. At present in the central power plants of the country water power carries only about 40 per cent of the load, while the total fuel requirement for steam-generated power, including that of railroads, is not less than 800,000 tons daily. A power program that calls for the immediate and full development of every available and feasible water power, moreover, means saving both in coal and in man power, and with this purpose of securing the double conservation, the investigation has been proposed. The first step is to get the facts for the country as a whole and particularly for the North Atlantic industrial district president of that body, outlines the result of recent investigations inaugurated by the California Anti-Vivisection Society for the purpose of ascertaining the extent of vivisection at Loma Linda. According to her report, authenticated proof has been obtained that an extensive plant has been built up there for the breeding of animals to be used in vivisection. Dogs and cats, rabbits, Guinea pigs and other animals, it is averred, have been vivisected in great numbers, the demands of the college being so drastic as to compel the opening of breeding stations, in close proximity to the college and sanitarium, where these animals are propagated in large batches. "In our desire to ascertain to what extent this reprehensible use of vivisection has obtained, we have employed skillful investigators, whose reports revealed to us the condition was even worse at Loma Linda than we had dreamed." As the Adventist denomination advocates a strict vegetarian diet and has always taken a pronounced stand in opposition to the wearing of furs and feathers—inasmuch as the procuring of such things involves exqcisite cruelty and suffering to animals and birds—the illogical position now assumed by the heads of the Adventist Church, who are directly and solely responsible for the atrocities of vivisection in their sanitariums, make it only a matter of justice to the public that their inconsistent and hypocritical standards should be generally known, says a bulletin issued by the society. While the California Anti-Vivisection Society has been informed of this state of affairs at Loma Linda, and throughout the allied institutions of the Seventh Day Adventists for many months, we have been very reluctant to make public the result of our investigations. According to the earnest pleas of members of that denomination, we have waited since early last spring, hoping with them that in some way the people involved in this matter could be induced to abolish vivisection throughout their jurisdiction. An extensive correspondence has been carried on with the highest officers of the church to whom the situation was fully unfolded; but, while they professed to including that of railroads, is not less than 800,000 tons daily. A power program that calls for the immediate and full development of every available and feasible water power, moreover, means saving both in coal and in man power, and with this purpose of securing the double conservation, the investigation has been proposed. The first step is to get the facts for the country as a whole and particularly for the North Atlantic industrial district. This "super-power" project, which engineers agree seems wholly practicable but which can be regarded as now only in the vision stage, is to pool the power supply for the whole industrial area between Boston and Washington, in which is concentrated one-fourth of the power-generating capacity of the country. Such a unified power system would tie together properly located steam electric and hydroelectric plants—old plants that are efficient as well as new plants—in a great power main from which would flow the energy to serve a score of railroads, hundreds of public-service companies, thousands of mills and factories, and millions of homes. The subject is necessarily one for interstate investigation and is linked with the national problem of providing adequate transportation facilities. Electrification of our railroads would effect fuel economies of more than 50 per cent in coal consumed, not to mention the greater efficiency of electric traction through increasing road capacity. Equally important, moreover, is the relation of cheaper power to American industry. As stated by Secretary Lane in a letter transmitting the estimate for this appropriation, "Only by increased economy in the investigations. According to the earnest pleas of members of that denomination, we have waited since early last spring, hoping with them that in some way the people involved in this matter could be induced to abolish vivisection throughout their jurisdiction. An extensive correspondence has been carried on with the highest officers of the church to whom the situation was fully unfolded; but, while they professed to have no previous knowledge of the practice of vivisection in any of their denominational institutions, they failed to profit from our lenient advances. The California Anti-Vivisection Society has consummated arrangements for an extensive and permanent campaign of publicity regarding vivisection in the Adventist sanitariums. MAY GROW ALL-OUR FIGS It is not improbable that this country will soon produce all the figs it needs. This statement is made by the chief of the Bureau of Plant Industry, United States Department of Agriculture, in his report on the progress of Smyrna fig culture in California. Much of the success of this enterprise has been due to the fact that the department has been able to maintain a caprifig orchard at Loomis, from which caprifigs have been distributed free to growers. Before this distribution was arranged for many small growers of Smyrna figs became discouraged and some even dug up their orchards. The relationship between these two varieties is that the Smyrna fig is fertilized by an insect which lives on the caprifig. When Smyrna figs and caprifigs are planted together the caprifigs do not bear enough fruit to caprifify the crop properly until several... ANAHEIM GAZETTE IN THE OIL FIELD (From Brea Progress) A review of the development work now under way in the oil fields of Southern California shows that there are more wells drilling now than at any time during the entire year just closed. However, with the record number of wells drilling the production continues to fall, and unless some big wells are brought in somewhere in the field soon the situation will become rather serious. The fact of the matter is that, aside from the Union's Chapman well, no big wells have been brought in during the past year. A year ago the Standard was bringing in two, three, four, and seven thousand barrel wells on the Temple and Baldwin properties. Today the same properties are yielding 300-barrel wells. In the Richfield district a half dozen wells have been brought in at from 200 to 1000 barrels, but these wells did not hold up, most of them falling off from 30 to 50 per cent. The Petroleum Development Company's Bradford Bros. No. 1, which came into a couple of weeks ago at 300 barrels, is showing some decline in production and is not holding up to expectations. The Bradford community well is standing with the cement setting at 3500 feet. Bradford No. 1 is also standing cemented, the depth being 2431. Bradfrod No. 2 is drilling in a hard sand at 1750 feet. brought in, looking like a 2000-barrel producer. Sand quickly shut off the flow and ever since then some strenuous work has been done on the well to clean it out and get it producing again. At 2977 feet the 8-inch pipe collapsed and until this can be gotten out of the way no further work can be done. Thompson No. 2 is drilling in the conglomerate at 1831, and No. 3 at 780, also conglomerate. The Fellerton Oil Company's Anaheim Union No. 1 ran into the conglomerate again at 2185 feet, and only 25 feet of hole was made in the past week's drilling. The conglomerate is of the hardest variety. On the Travis location for No. 2 has been made and No. 1 is standing cemented. With the cemelting of Graham Loftus No. 52, the last well drilling on the property, no tools are now operating. heT Union started drilling eight years ago and for a number of years not less than five strings of tools have been drilling. The completion of the well now standing cemented will probably close the drilling program for the Graham-Loftus. The production of the property runs about 2000 barrels a day. On the Yorba tract the Amalgamated Oil Company has made a location for Yorba No. 2. The Potter well is drilling in hard sand at 3173 feet. The Amalgamated's Breene No. 1 is still being held up with a fishing job. A twist-off at 1740 feet left some drill pipe in the hole. REPORTS SOUND WELL BUT, WHERE IS SUGAR? In Spits of Optimism Expressed by Administration, People Still Lack Sweets. Optimism is still rampant in the Democratic administrative department, judging from the cheering reports which emanate therefrom with daily regularity. The "Daily Digest" of the Council of National Defense for December 24th quotes from the Bureau of Crop Estimates (Agriculture Department): "The sugar beet production for Spain, the Netherlands, Canada and the United States was 117.2 per cent of the 1918 output, or 103.5 per cent of the 5-year average, being placed at 10,390,000 tons." It sounds well, but what has become of the sugar? The people of the United States don't seem to be able to get it, even at the 20-cent price o. k.d by the Equalization Board which the Presiednt has continued in office so that "his people" may not be exploited! POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS In order that industrial production in the United States may be fully protected from an inundation of foreign cheaper-made goods, Representative Joseph W. Fordney, of Michigan, chairman of the House Committee on Ways and Means, has introduced a bill which is calculated to prevent unfair competition. He provides that if any American manufacturer has an interest in or controls a plant in Europe which produces goods similar to those he turns out here and sells them in the American market at a lower price, he will be charged not only the ordinary import duty upon such goods, but the entire difference in price which he would have received if manufactured in this country. The Petroleum-Midway is enjoying a large share of the good luck in drilling in the Richfield district on the Yarnell. No. 1 is now making hole in a sandy shale at 3350 feet. No. 4 is drilling in the conglomerate at 1875. No. 5, in the conglomerate, shows 1450 feet of hole. No. 6 is drilling at close to 2000 feet in the hard conglomerate A rig is up for No. 7 and Nos. 9 and 10 are new locations. No. 8 started drilling a few days ago and now shows 500 feet. The Standrad Oil Company's Lock No. 2, a deep well completed at 4006 feet, started off pumping water. The oil is expected to start as soon as the excess water is pumped off. On the Kraemer No. 1 property, adjoining, No. 4 is drilling at 2440, No. 6 is drilling at 2700 feet, and No. 7, a new well, is grading for rig site. The Stanadrd Oil Company's Collins well is gradually increasing its output, and as the sand works out greater increased are expected. The production increased recently from 134 to 150 barrels. On the Kraemer No. 2 property the Standard has five wells drilling and all show good progress been made. No. 3 is drilling at 1460, No. 4 at 2520, No. 5 at 2950, No. 6 at 1900 feet, and No. 7 is at 1300 feet. The deepest wildcat well now drilling in the Southern California field is the Olinda Land Co.'s No. 21. This well is now 4675 feet deep and is not showing a sign of oil. The formation at this great depth is a tough shale. It is the intention of the Olinda Land Co. to carry the drilling to 5000 feet before abandoning. The well was located a year go by Dr. Stark and the property runs about 2000 barrels a day. On the Yorba tract the Amalgamated Oil Company has made a location for Yorba No. 2. The Potter well is drilling in hard sand at 3173 feet. The Amalgamated's Breene No. 1 is still being held up with a fishing job. A twist-off at 1740 feet left some drill pipe in the hole. The technical department of the extension division aims to enable the student outside the university to get as nearly as possible the equivalent of a university education, and also to help those who wish at some future time to enter college, or who have been compelled to quit college and who wish to continue the studies. Professional courses are to cover highly technical instruction in advanced engineering and scientific subjects such as aeronautics, electrical engineering, radio communication. These courses are not available at the present time, but are to be offered in the future. The whole object of the reorganization of the university extension studies in technical subjects is to eliminate the unrelated system of study which the exigencies of growing demands created, and to have a harmonized sequence of studies, as systematic as a college course and planned with the same object in view; that is, to fit the student to master his subject. SCIENTIFIC STUDIES BY CORRESPONDENCE What the State University Extension Division is Doing. Reorganizing its technical department, the Extension Division of the University of California is putting the scientific studies conducted by outside lectures or by correspondence, on the same footing with the equipment courses given in the College class any American manufacturer has an interest in or controls a plant in Europe which produces goods similar to those he turns out here and sells them in the American market at a lower price, he will be charged not only the ordinary import duty upon such goods, but the entire difference in price which he would have received if manufactured in this country. No child hereafter born in the United States of foreign parentage will be eligible to citizenship unless both parents are eligible to become citizens. If a joint resolution introduced in the House by Representative Raker, of California, is enacted into law. He takes the view that this would have the effect of making the parents more anxious to become permanently identified with the country, and therefore helping in the work of Americanizing America. "Colonel Bryan comes along with the assurance that he has a way for the Democratic party to win next year. If it is anything like the several ways Colonel Bryan has so often tried we hope it will be adopted." The Hon. Josephus Daniels, so long as the President permits, asserts his power as the sole custodian of honorary awards, the judge of merit from whose decision there can be no appeal. The particularly unpleasant feature of the issue thus sharply raised is found in the circumstance, as Admiral Sims faintly but sufficiently indicates, that the ultimate dispenser of Naval Fame's choicest laurels, while passing by so many of the meritorious and duly certified, has by no means overlooked his own family. The deepest wildcat well now drilling in the Southern California field is the Olinda Land Co.'s No. 21. This well is now 4675 feet deep and is not showing a sign of oil. The formation at this great depth is a tough shale. It is the intention of the Olinda Land Co. to carry the drilling to 5000 feet before abandoning. The well was located a year ago by Dr. Stark and the location is as favorable as any in the field as far as surface indications go. The Union Oil Company, with work under way on 12 different properties and 14 strings of tools running, is leading the development work in the new Placentia-Richfield district. Chapman No. 3 is still drilling in a very hard oil sand at 3140 feet. Chapman No. 4 is held up with a bit in the hole at 1250 feet. No. 5 is making at water test at 1900 feet. No. 6 is in the conglomerate, drilling at 1070 feet. The rigs are up for Chapman Nos. 7 and 8. The Union Oil Company is he busiest concern in the Richfield district with new work. During the past week Coyle No. 1, spudded in and made 400 feet of hole. The rig is up for Morse No. 2 and a location for No. 3 made. No. 1 on the Esther Newell spudded in and made 50 feet of hole. Stern No. 1 a newly located well, shows the rig built. On the Towell property lumber is on the ground for rigs Nos. 2 and 3. Stern No. 1, also a new location, shows the rig comppleted. Coyle Nos. 2 and 3 are both building rigs and will be ready to start drilling soon. Difficulties continue to pile up for the General Petroleum at Thompson No. 1. Two months ago this well was... It is a tough world for some people This man wants to know what will happen to him next. A citizen who has been deliberating over the occurrences of the past few years, and has grown somewhat peev-ed, writes to the press as follows: "I have been held up, held down sandbagged, walked on, flattened out and squeezed.

J. Heffner of the University on his release from the Army Air Service was assigned by Professor Leon J. Richardson, director of University Extension, to reorganize the technical courses given in university extension. The result of this work is now announced. All technical courses conducted by university extension, whether by class work or correspondence, are classified under the heads: (1) Secondary; (2) Collegiate; (3) Professional; (4) Vocational. Secondary courses are those of high school grade, which are to be studied preparatory to further instruction of college grade, and also in certain cases as preparatory to vocation instruction. The subjects that come under this head are algebra, geometry, trigonometry, physics, chemistry, and geometrical drawing. College courses are those given as much as popsible of the scientific and technical training now offered to resident students in the engineering colleges at the university. Instruction in these courses is to be of the same standard as that of the regular university courses and will as far as possible duplicate the latter. The correspondence courses soon to be available include machine design, automobile work, heat power engineering, electricity, surveying, materials of construction, mineralogy, geology, crystallography, mathematics, drawing, etc." The government has so governed my business thal don't know who owns it.
