COMMERCE FOR SERVICE WITH HOOVER AS GUIDE Cooperation With Producers and Stimulation of American Initiative Will be His Aim Co-operation between the government and industry to the end of enhanced production and lessened employment is the first policy proposed by Herbert Hoover, Secretary of Commerce. He says: "The Department of Commerce should be in the widest sense a department of service to the commerce and industry of the country. It is not a department for the regulation of trade and industry. In order to do service to the greatest advantage I wish to establish a wider and better organized co-operation with the trade and commercial associations, and will in a short time present some plans to this end. I want to see our efforts to push our foreign commerce more closely related to our industries. This sort of enlarged activity is within the original purpose of the department, and requires neither legislation nor burden upon taxpayers. This is no time to ask for appropriations to undertake new work. It is the time to search for economy and reorganization, for effective expenditure on essentials, the reduction of non-essentials, and the elimination of duplication. "Outside of voluntary measures the only immediate extension of service lies in securing greater internal efficiency in which I am certain all bureaus join. The future of the Department in its abilities to meet the needs of our industries and trade must await the thorough reorganization of the whole executive machinery, now being demonstration. W. H. Heilman, Secretary of our "The great economic difficulties that we inherit from the war are obvious enough and they emphasize the necessity of better governmental machinery to assist in their solution. The final remedy must rest on the initiative of our own people—the rate of recovery can be expedited by greater co-operation in the community by the government, and this Department and the whole government wishes to assist wherever it can to stimulate and assist this co-operation. In the long run, we may an well realize that we face a lower standard of living in Europe many years ahead. The production costs of her people will in consequence be lower than even before the war. If we meet this competition and still maintain our high standards of living we will have to work harder; we will have to eliminate waste; we will need to still further improve our processes, our labor relationship, and business methods." ESTABLISH HEALTH CAMPS The United States Forest Service is about to undertake an entirely new experiment in recreational development, according to District Forester Paul G. Redington. The Forest Service desires to test the efficiency of forest life in the improvement of human health and more especially as it relates to under nourished children. It is proposed to establish an experimental health camp on a suitable area within a National Forest and within working distance of important centers of population.

It is intended that the first camp established will provide for at least 100 physically defective children who will be selected with care, preference being given to cases likely to benefit from the proposed treatment. If this experimental camp proves a success, the work will be enlarged. In carrying out this experiment, the Forest Service will supply a suitable site, an adequate supply of pure water, including bathing facilities, general policing and supervision of the grounds, fuel wood, and if necessary or desired, an executive director. The cooperator is to supply the subjects, the necessary physicians, nurses, and other personnel, subsistence for subjects and personnel, sleeping and mess tents and all equipment. "We are desirous," says Redington, "of making the recreational resources of the National Forests of real benefit to all the people. We have established many, public campgrounds. Many cities have leased grounds for municipal camps; hundreds of permits are being issued annually to individuals for residence sites; groups of employees of corporations are coming to us with applications for rest camps. In the general move we want to do what we can to provide for the rest and health of the younger generation, and we expect that our idea for the interest and help of public bodies and municipalities in this undertaking will be promptly and generously answered." ORANGES AND OIL IN THE RICHFIELD REGION Correspondent Tells of Discovery and Development of Petroleum in Orchardc An oil well in the back yard is better than an orange grove on the front lawn, writes an Examiner correspondent. Los Angeles is parked on a subterranean sea of "black gold" and rich field, one of the greatest oil produc­tors districts in the world is in our back yard. This is a story of Richfield, rightly named and unbelievably productive. Nothing in the realm of fiction is so sensational, so dramatic, so full of intense and exciting situations as the development of this oil district that two years ago, like amushr oom, sprang up overnight. Richfield, the synonym of oil success, the goal of the operator and the swap­tuous meal ticket of thousands of stockholders of oil companies, prior to March 28, 1919, was a slumbering suburb, dotted with rows of orange groves and barley fields. Then Charles C. Chapman of Fullerton, godfather of oil investors of the Richfield wells, had a vision. Already a magnate among orange growers, "father of the Valencias," already possessed of acres of the richest real estate in Southern California, "tre Garden of Eden of the New World," this Aladdin of finance, dreamed of oil. He awoke to the realization that there was more gold in oil thousands of feet beneath his domain than he could ever hope to possess from his profits of golden oranges in a thousand years. Behind the "coming in" of a great oil gusher is the romantic story of heartaches disappointments and some SQUARE DEAL FOR THE WEST The personnel of the new Federal Power Commission as constituted thru the appointment of the new Secretaries of War, Interior and Agriculture augers well for Westerners who are interested in the development of the West's vast power resources, in the opinion of Senator Samuel M. Shortridge. The members of the new Federal Power Commission are now: Secretary Weeks of the War Department, who has been a banker and stock broker; Secretary Fall of the Interior Department, a typical Westerner with a broad grasp on the needs of the West; and Secretary Wallace, of the Agriculture Department, who has a weather-oye open always for possibilities of increasing food production through irrigation. Senator Shortridge believes the new commission will be able to give the sympathetic attention to the problems surrounding the development of water power industries which are needed to get the best results. The Senator said: "The new Federal Power Commission will make a mark for effective development of the country's "White Coal" in the opinion of official Washington. I doubt if three men with more sympathetic ideas on the work at hand could have been selected even though they were chosen for membership on the commission alone and not for cabinet seats as well. This commission has control of all power sites in the United States that are situated on navigable rivers and on the public lands of the United States, so that it doesn't take much observation to see that a commission hostile to water power development, or even indifferent could deter improvement.

He awoke to the realization that there was more gold in oil thousands of feet beneath his domain than he could ever hope to possess from his profits of golden oranges in a thousand years. Behind the "coming in" of a great oil gusher is the romantic story of heartaches, disappointments and sometimes-success, beyond the glittering rainbow of happiest dreams. With the eternal spouting, gushing, flowing of the black limpid stream of cozy gold, is often a story of palpitating doubts, incredible faith, heartbreaking disappointments and—to some—final flush of victory. With the "coming in" of Chapman Gusher No. 1, the entire Richtfield district was transformed overnight. Operators, speculators, oil men, drillers, laborers and investors, literally tumbled over each other to get "on the job." Slumbering fields of barley awakened to the trampling of many feet, to the sound of hammers and the erection of mighty derricks rearing their unsightly heads in the heavens. Tre growing grain trampled, neglected, forgotten withered under the rush and swirl of industry. Stately orange groves, until then, basking in the sunshine of aristocracy as money makers, were unmercifully uprooted, cut down and thrust aside to die, laden with their lucious fruit. And, but two short years before this peaceful nook in California's lovely paradise, nodded lazily in luxurious contentment. Before the first cry of "Oil" had reverberated through the sunny hills and blossoming lowlands, the rush began. No "Forty-niner" ever tolled harder to be "on the spot," or thrilled at the sight of glittering gold more than did the oil seeking throng who trooped into Richfield, thrill with expectation, for—the oil was there. Today, this district, acknowledged to be one of the greatest producing oil fields in the world, boasts of fifty-four going gushers, with more than three score and ten under construction and drilling. Thirty-seven of these hopefuls were started within the past year. Down go the drills, deeper and deeper into the earth and every now and then with a rush and a roar, in comes a mighty gusher, sending the spray of black cozy, sticky delight, liquid gold-trading under the name of oil. Washington. I doubt it three times with more sympathetic ideas on the work at hand have been selected even though they were chosen for membership on the commission alone and not for cabinet seats as well. This commission has control of all power sites in the United States that are situated on navigable rivers and on the public lands of the United States, so that it doesn't take much observation to see that a commission hostile to water power development, or even different, could deter improvement to the immeasurable loss of the country. But with three men in control who know the dwindling condition of our oil supply and the increasing demand for power I think the nation can count upon something being done that will improve the general situation. An immense project for electrifying the entire Atlantic seaboard from Boston to Washington, through tre financing of a super-power company, is now being planned by the Interior Department. The engineers of the Department have reported that 36,000,000,000 kilowatt hours could be developed through the operation of this super-power plant which would supply two-thirds of all the power required in this territory for every purpose, and save 25,000,000 tons of coal annually for other purposes. This is in line with work already undertaken in the West. "The Navy's trouble in securing oil for its fleets is a cause of no little worry as officials view the diminishing supply and the increasing demand for fuel oil. This increasing demand could be cared for effectually through the erection of additional hydro-electric plants, while oil could be saved for use where hydro-electric power is not available. "Of course the commission functions under the water-power act approved June 10 of last year which throws around the projection of new plants safeguards to protect the interests of the people. All projects constructed on navigable rivers or on public lands must be licensed by this commission and before that is done the commission's experts go over all plans carefully to see that the public welfare is served. It may be safely relied on that they will not permit our great National Parks to be invaded for commercial purposes. The commission also has the power to establish rates in the inter-state business where the States affected have no legal power to act or cannot agree. "I think the West can congratulate itself on having men of this vitally important commission that realize full Today, this district acknowledged to be one of the greatest producing oil fields in the world, boasts of fifty-four going gushers, with more than three score and ten under construction and drilling. Thirty-seven of these hopefuls were started within the past year. Down go the drills, deeper and deeper into the earth and every now and then with a rush and a roar, in comes a mighty gusher, sending the spray of black oozy, sticky delight, liquid gold-trading under the name of oil. The first gusher, called the "discovery well," was drilled in the heart of an orange grove. The story of the tribulations of Mr. Chapman, trying to induce parties to invest and drill for oil has never been truly told. THE LUMBER CUT Prrtial returns on the annual census of the lumber production for the State of California, which is conducted by the California District of the United States Forest Service in cooperation with the National Lumber Manufacturers Association and its local associations, the California White and Sugar Pine Manufacturers Associations and the California Redwood Association, show a cut by twenty-seven of the largest mills in California of 630,225,000 board feet. The same mills cut in 1918, 682,-662,000 board feet. Camparison with the cut of 1919 is impossible since the census for that year was taken in connection with the general decennial census of the United States and the results are not yet available.

Skiles PROHIBITION INCREASED COFFEE CONSUMPTION Prohibition has had the effect of greatly increasing the amount of coffee used in America, but curiously enough has not increased the consumption of tea to any appreciable extent, according to George F. Upham of New who is now a guest at a Pasadena hotel. "The United States is not what one might call a tea-drinking nation." said Mr. Upham. "The consumption of tea in this country is only one and one-fourth to one and one-half pounds per capita a year, whereas the annual per capita consumption of coffee is about ten pounds. In Great Britain the average per capita consumption of tea is five times as great as in the United States.

This control of all power States that are sitole rivers and on the United States, so like much observation commission hostile to development, or even inferior improvement to coffee than ever since the nation went dry. The same cannot be said of tea, however. Our people, taken as a whole never acquired the tea habit. Those of whom have the habit have different tastes. There are a great many kinds of tea. The sort that is liked in one district is not at all popular somewhere else. New England for example, calls for different brands than the South. To some extent the same rule applies to coffee. Boston and other parts of New England, for instance, consumes most of the coffee tht is brought into the United States from Oaxaca, Mexico. This particular brand has a flavor something like lemons. "So far as I know there is only one spot in America where tea is grown. It is in a South Carolina town. The raising of tea in this country has never been a commercial success, and I seriously doubt if it ever will be. Ceylon tea is rapidly taking the place of varieties imported from China and Formosa. It is becoming more popular right along, while the Chinese and Formosa brands are losing in favor. Most of the coffee now used comes from Brazil, although considerable is imported from other South and Central American countries. Probably the finest coffee in the world today comes from Bogata, the capital of Columbia. It is considered better than Mocha and Java. There is very little Mocha imported now. Mocha comes from Port of Aden, and there isn't enough of it to supply New York City alone. Most of the Mocha one buys in stores is from Brazil, where it is grown from seed brought from Arabia, just as tobacco is grown in Connecticut from seed imported from Havana. "The coffee habit is more expensive than the tea habit, because where a pound of coffee will make only about thirty-five cups, a pound of Ceylon tea will make 200 cups."
