Extending over a month, involving attacks from the air upon submarines, destroyers, cruisers, and battleship, the exercise were most instructive. To suggest and carry them out so effectively reflects great credit upon the naval and military branches of the government. The experiments were in no sense a contest between air and water forces, despite the tendency of various press reports to convey that impression. "The purpose of this last exercise," read the official memorandum issued preceding the Ostfriesland test, "is to obtain material information concerning the effect of hits by bombs of various sizes." That purpose was fully realized and complete data collected. Ever since certain ill-advised enthusiasts in the United States and in England proclaimed the "doom of the capital ship" because of the menace of bombs from the air, a controversy has waged between the advocates and opponents of that theory. The Ostfriesland test was based upon principles the soundness of which has been demonstrated whenever government ownership has been tried. It will be noted that the platform not only opposed government operation, but 'employee' operation as well. This was a direct attack upon the 'Plumb Plan,' which would require the government to borrow money to buy the railroads and then turn them over to a commission in which the employees would have a dominating power. Under that plan, the employees would fix their own compensation and rules of work. Although the 'Plumb Plan' advocates are working more quietly than while the Democrats were in power, they are working none less persistently. "It is a fair inference that the man who has conducted small business affairs in such a way as to accumulate savings which he invests in a larger enterprise, is best able to conduct that means of a jury upon which picture best."

RESTORE FARM FRACTION While British osity has helped reconstruction of zone of Belgium, been able to obtain the Ostfriesland test, "is to obtain material information concerning the effect of hits by bombs of various sizes." That purpose was fully realized and complete data collected. Ever since certain ill-advised enthusiasts in the United States and in England proclaimed the "doom of the capital ship" because of the menace of bombs from the air, a controversy has waged between the advocates and opponents of that theory. The Ostfriesland experiment was the only one in which a capital ship was attacked with live bombs and the facts it revealed are highly significant although not conclusive. It was demonstrated that 1000 and 2000 bombs, in their present state of development, will not penetrate the protective deck of a battleship and that their explosive effect is limited to the immediate vicinity of their impact. The Ostfriesland was directly hit three times by bombs of 1000 pounds and once by a 2000 pounder. Large holes were torn in the upper decks and the forced draft system of the boilers was put out of commission, but the protective deck was not penetrated, nor was any vital part of the ship affected. On the other hand it apparently was proven that half a ton of high explosive detonated below the water line fifty feet or less from a battleship's hull will give her a fatal wound. In the first day's bombing the hull of the Ostfriesland was badly racked by a number of smaller bombs that had exploded near her sides. When on the second day a 2000 pound bomb, carrying half that weight of T. N. T., burst close to the weakened hull the effect was immediate, and in twenty minutes the ship had sunk. But now as to the probability of such a hit in actual combat with an enemy ship. The planes operating against the Ostfriesland in the final attack flew at a height of only 1700 feet; their line of flight was directed from stern to stern, thereby increasing by about eight times the chances of a hit if compelled to fly transversely across the ship, $a_s$ would probably be the case if she were free to maneuver at will; small sighting bombs were dropped before the big missiles were let go; there was only one vessel to be attacked, whereas in an enemy force there would be several; the doomed ship was anchored, and could neither reply with anti-craft guns, throw out a smoke screen, or maneuver at high speed. "It is a fair inference that the man who has conducted small business affairs in such a way as to accumulate savings which he invests in a larger enterprise, is best able to conduct that larger concern. It is a reasonable conclusion, for example, that Charles H. Markham, who began his railroad career as a section hand and worked up to the presidency of the Illinois Central, is more competent to manage that road than is any committee of 100 railroad workmen who have not risen materially above their original scale of employment. This is no criticism of railroad employees who do not rise as rapidly or as far as Mr. Markham. It is altogether likely that Mr. Markham had rare native talents and a particular genius for railroading. But, regardless of his native ability, he could not have risen in his chosen occupation without hard work, loyalty, persistence and thrift. It would be ridiculous to assert that all of his former associates in the work of laying rails and replacing ties could have risen as he has done. While their limited advancement is no reflection upon them, it is clear that because of one man's demonstrated ability it is better for the country that he be retained in control of a railroad than that control be turned over to a committee of men who have not demonstrated similar fitness. The same applies to management of other roads by other men who have proven their managerial ability through long years of experience. "Thus we have the issue presented by the 'Plumb Plan' on the one hand and the declaration of the Republican platform on the other. The former stands for operation under the control of men who have not demonstrated their qualifications; the latter stands for operation by men who have been tried and found worthy and well qualified. "It ought not be difficult for any citizen who is neither a railroad employee nor a railroad manager to determine which kind of operation he prefers. Citizens thus free from personal interest constitute the 'general public' whose welfare is chiefly to be considered. The danger is that they in which the employees would have a dominating power. Under that plan, the employees would fix their own compensation and rules of work. Although the 'Plumb Plan' advocates are working more quietly than while the Democrats were in power, they are working none the less persistently." While British osity has helped reconstruction of zone of Belgium, been able to obtain titulation of much material.

Were an actual engagement between belligerent battleships and aircraft to take place, involving all those factors, a hit such as that registered against the condemned German boat would be by the merest chance. The menace would not be comparable at all to that now offered by the automobile torpedo and submarine, neither of which threatens to make the battleship obsolete. But a certain menace does exist, and the air service should be denied no facility to develop its form of attack to the utmost. The navy, too, should be encouraged to devise and apply every form of defense that will make its vessels more immune to explosive bombs. Only by so doing will our national safety be secure when the next emergency confronts us. BOOTLEGGING! An Indianapolis resident went up to the street newsstand to buy his regular weekly magazine. "Police stopped us for anything but newspapers." Drug stores and hotel newsstands made a kick against us," said the attendant to him. "You mean no one is selling magazines from the street newsstands?" asked the would-be purchaser. "Nobody except the stand on the next corner." He's bootleggin' em." ART AT LAGUNA Featured by the work of some of the most noted painters in America, the annual exhibition of the Laguna Beach Art association opened at 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon at the association art gallery, Laguna. The work of hanging the canvasses was completed that morning and when the doors opened, the gallery was jammed with an eager and admiring throng of art lovers. At a reception which was held in the gallery, many Laguna artists were present. It was announced that the "popularity contest," which proved such an attractive feature this year, will be repeated this summer. Each person entering the gallery is entitled to one vote as to which picture he thinks the best. This year's contest, which began Saturday, will close in three weeks. It was further announced that simultaneously the artists themselves, by ANAHEIM GAZETTE PERSHIP of 1920 enforcement railPublic-resident, under the ma de mandable enforcement employee view of the countrol two thigh may invaluation of other equate for the burnishly and leadership simulation upon which has government to add and immission have a plan, own own mails are the only. The man maness afficulate larger fact that means of a jury of three, would decide upon which pictures they consider the best. Lagunans are now interested as to whether the artists' view will coincide with that of the public. While visitors to the gallery will have but one choice each, the artists' jury will have three, it was stated. Hanson Puthuff is represented in the present showing with two canvasses. Conway Griffith has a desert sunset picture, showing the early risen moon. Miss Anna Hills, R. Clarkson Coleman and F. W. Cuprien are other well-known painters who have pictures on display. One canvas that aroused much favorable comment was a portrait, by Joseph Kleitsch, Chicago, of Mrs. Irene Evans, of Laguna. W. A. Griffith, of Santa Ana, president of the art association, is represented by ya portrait, "The Writer." Miss Anne Robinson, of Trabuco canyon, is showing a pretty landscape, with Saddleback in the distance. Two pictures are being shown by Alexander Many, of Washington, D.C., who is one of the newcomers at Laguna, but regarded as among the best. Last year he won an award at the Corcoran galleries, Washington. There are about sixty canvases in the exhibition. Mr. and Mrs. William Wendt, nationally prominent artists, at Laguna, are packing a large number of pictures for shipment to Chicago, where they will hold a two-day exhibition at the Art Institute in September.

SUNDAY'S ACCIDENTS RESTORE FARMS IN FRANCE AND BELGIUM While British and American generosity has helped substantially in the reconstruction of farms in the war zone of Belgium, the government has been able to obtain from Germany restitution of much farming stock and material. Latest returns in this connection show that the following recounts have been effected: Six thousand and three hundred and ninety-four horses, 35,000 oxen, 32,000 sheep, 8000 goats, 50,000 head of poultry, 10,000 tons of fertilizers, $72,000 worth of seeds and $400,000 worth of farming implements and machinery. Government intervention in farm restoration has been mainly confined to the places that suffered most in the war, localities not so badly hit being dealt with by private enterprises and by officially controlled contractors. The government has spent nearly a million dollars on reconstruction of the waterways, so necessary to farming in Flanders. Approximately thirteen-fourteenth of the pre-war farm land in the hundred parishes of the Belgian war front have been again brought under cultivation. In the French devastated departments, 7146 square miles of land were ruined in the war; to date considerably over five-sevenths of this area is again available for farming. Indeed, the liberated departments of France now produce enough grain for their own requirements. Both in France and in Belgium, government policy is to let private enterprise and initiative have as free a hand as possible. At the armistice one-third of the pre-war population of the French war regions was residing there; today only a half million of the pre-war population is lacking. L.e., population in 1914, 4,676,000; population at May 1, 1921, 4,165,000. Shortage of labor, of material, and of transport, especially at the start of operations, forced the authorities and builders o put up with make-shifts, such as wooden huts for houses. This difficulty is, however, being gradually overcome. Nearly 78 per cent of the pre-war factories of north France are again at work and the proportion of staff that have resumed work approx- It probably can be done, and very cheaply, by sinking shafts, well curbed, down to the water bearing gravel strata and turning in the water of the Santiago and Santa Ana rivers during the winter months. There should be an association of owners of pumping plants, big or little, to take up this matter and the cities of Santa Ana, Orange, Anaheim and Fullerton should join in. Several of these shafts might be put in along the Santa Ana river and the Santiago creek before the winter rains come. The expense divided among the pumping plants according to horsepower would be very little. Is it worth while? Though not answering the question of future water supply, seven wells of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company now are producing 1290.72 inches, or thirteen heads, of water, according to Orso Mansur, secretary of the company. One thousand inches, or ten heads, is flowing into the ditches from the Santa Ana river, giving the company a total of twenty-three heads, he said. The pumped volume and the gravity flow are about the same as for this period last year, and the demand is normal, irrigators taking the water as it reaches them in turn, according to Mansur. H. Clay Kellogg, engineer of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company and the Anaheim Union Water company, is of the opinion that the underground reservoirs or water planes get their supply largely from the Santa Ana river and Santiago creek. He said: "The supply from the creek is not as great as it used to be. The Serano and the John T. Carpenter water companies supplying Villa Park and El Modena have been spreading water on waste places. "By percolation that water reaches the lower levels by summer time for distribution to irrigators. Not as much water apparently is sinking into the gravel of the Santiago creek bed below the intake dam, as compared with previous years." While the Villa Park and El Modena companies are using their pumping systems now have to be pumped. Wells have to be made deeper and the cost of power increases as the water lowers.

INCREASE IN HOUSE Increase of the house membership from 435 to 460 was recommended Friday by the house census committee. Six of the sixteen members of the committee opposed the increase on the ground that the house as now constituted is sufficiently large. The ratio of representation is one member for each 228,882 persons. Under the 460 plan, only two states, Maine and Missouri, would have their representation reduced. Each state would loose one representative. The states that would gain follow: California, four; Michigan and Ohio, three each; New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Texas, two each; Arkansas, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma and Washington, one each. NO CONTROVERSY "Did you overhear the controversy between these two gentlemen?" asked the magistrate. "No, suh, judge," replied the colored witness. "Ah didn't heah nuthin' like dat. All Ah heard was some pow'ful loud cussing." ONE OF THEM There was a man who did not approve of foreign missions. One Sunday at church a collector approached him and held out the box. "I never give to missions," whispered the man. "Then take something out of the bag sir," whispered the collector, "the money is for the heathen."—Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph, home suffering from shock and bruises, the result of being struck by a Ford touring car at the corner of Third and Main streets about 2:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon.

EUCALYPTUS STUMPS Asouth African asked how he could most easily remove large eucalyptus stumps and his government forester answered as follows: "The method generally followed in these cases is during winter to bore holes (the number varying according to the size of the tree). Bore the holes downward to a depth of 12 to 18 inches. The agent used may be saltpeter, equal parts of nitric and sulphuric acids, or arsenate of soda. The former method is the safest. Place an ounce to two ounces of saltpeter in the hole, fill up with water and plug the hole. The following spring pour in a little paraffin and set alight and the wood will smolder away to the roots." Professional Cards Hours: 10-11; 1-4; 7-8 Office 333-J Residence 333-M J. W.

There were those who thought that Mr. Hughes was not the best man for secretary of state because of his lack of experience in diplomacy. But the new secretary's notes to Panama and his reply to the soviet trade invitation leave nothing to be desired. The best mental equipment that a secretary of state can have is an abiding faith in the United States and a firm determination to uphold American dignity and rights. Secretary Hughes possesses those qualifications in the highest degree, and knows how to put his sentiments into vigorous language that all may comprehend. THE SCRAPPING GOES ON Apparently the war between Turkey and Greece has been extended to include France. Twenty French soldiers are reported killed in a clash with the Turks. But the serenity of the league of nations is not disturbed thereby. While the blood is spilling in the near east the league is concerning itself with abstract discussions of Austrian finance and how to increase the value of the currency of that afflicted country.
