SECRETARIES DENOUNCE REAPPORTIONMENT PLAN Southern California Opposed to the Senatorial Unit Proposal Malcolm Fraser, secretary of the Anheim Chamber of Commerce, attended the meeting of commercial secretaries of southern California at Los Angeles Saturday. The proposed change in the constitution limiting the counties to one senator was discussed and met with general disapproval, Capt. John D. Fredericks, president of the Los Angeles chamber, presented resolutions adopted by the Redondo chamber and asked for their approval. The resolutions asked Gov. Stephens to call a special session of the legislature to act upon reapportionment and energetically condemned attempts of northern California politicians to change the constitutional method of reapportioning legislative representation according to population. The resolution preamble stated that "whereas there is now an attempt to place upon the ballot for the state election in November a proposition known as the Windrem plan of reapportionment which will limit representation in the state senate to one senator from each county," and it was resolved: "That the Redondo Beach Chamber of Commerce hereby condemns the Windrem plan of reapportionment as unjust and a perversion of the principles of our state government and de-nounces the motives of its proponents and calls upon every citizen and civic organization in southern California to defeat the measures." Copies of the Redondo chamber's resolutions will be sent to all Chambers of Commerce in the southern end of the state. Capt. Fredericks, quoting the arguments of the backers of the Windrem plan that the state senate should be based on unit representation as in the case of the federal senate, asserted HOW SMUDGING STARTED Extensive smudging in the southern California citrus groves during the past few weeks has revived the question as to when and where smudging originated. Orange county pioneers pointed out that while hundreds of thousands of dollars have been saved by growers through extensive smudging, it was doubtful if many of those who have benefited so materially through the process knew exactly when smudging was first introduced in California. Although smudging has become pretty general in southern California, one pioneer said that to northern California goes the credit for introducing this protective measure. Smudging was done in El Dorado county as early as 1876. Former State Senator Henry Mahler, who owned a number of deciduous orchards in the Coloma valley, was given credit for doing the first smudging in California. In the spring of 1876 unusually heavy frosts threatened to wipe out the cherry, peach, apple and apricot crops in the vicinity of Placerville, Mahler, conceiving the idea of a crude smudge, ordered his ranch workers to use chapparal brush and the trimings from the trees in an effort to offset frost damage. Old residents of the Placerville district, in telling of the smudging operations, said that immense piles of brush were burned nightly and the valley was often red with the glow of the burning brush. The precautionary measures proved so satisfactory that growers residing in Yolo county sent representatives to Placerville and vicinity to investigate. As a result of these investigations Yolo county and throughout northern California. In the course of time some of the pioneers who learned the trick of baffling the frost king in this manner moved to southern California. plies of our state government and denounces the motifs of its proponents and calls upon every citizen and civic organization in southern California to defeat the measures." Copies of the Redondo chamber's resolutions will be sent to all Chambers of Commerce in the southern end of the state. Capt. Fredericks, quoting the arguments of the backers of the Windrem plan that the state senate should be based on unit representation as in the case of the federal senate, asserted that such claims are fallacious as counties are merly geographical divisions and have no sovereignty. He asked the secretaries to carry the message to their respective organizations and was assured that they would. THE FROST DAMAGE The recent cold weather in the citrus sections of California damaged from 20 to 50 per cent of the orange crop and about 35 per cent of the lemon crop, according to a statement issued by the department of agriculture. Dispatches from Washington said the statement was based on reports from the department's agents. The estimates, however, were not given as final, the statement adding that it would be about two weeks before safe estimates could be made. The damage was described as "spotty" with Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Riverside counties the greatest sufferers. About 10 per cent of the navel orange crop already had been shipped, said the statement, and the damage to the balance had a wide range. "Two lemon producing districts had a light freeze," it said. "All cut crops in southern California are severely damaged. Even Imperial valley did not escape, tomatoes and peas being a total loss, mature lettuce being frosted, though the latter crops is apparently saved." A Los Angeles paper has compiled reports from the principal citrus districts. Prominent growers and association managers in various sections are quoted, among them C. C. Chapman, of Fullerton; L. D. Palmer, of Orange; I. G. McBeth, Fullerton, and C. L. Crumrine, La Habra. Growers indicate a damage varying from 10 to 50 per cent. Smudging prevented serious damage in many of the districts, it is reported. Briefly summarized, damage reports are as follows: Fullerton-La Habra—damage to navels at Fullerton, 25 per cent; lemons brush were burned nightly and the valley was often red with the glow of the burning brush. The precau­tionary measures proved so satisfactory that growers residing in Yolo county sent representatives to Placerville and vicinity to investigate. As a result of these investigations Yolo county and throughout northern California. In the course of time some of the pioneers who learned the trick of baffling the frost king in this manner moved to southern California. Here the citrus crops were found to be endangered by the same menace and brush fires were first introduced some 35 years ago. From this crude beginning other protective measures have sprung, with the result that the old method has long since given away to more progressive and modern tendencies. Today smudge puts dot the citrus groves in many southern California counties and distillate burned where the brush piles formerly flamed. A RUN OF TUNA Orange county deep-sea fishermen Saturday were feverishly overhauling their trammels and getting their gill-nets in shape for an invasion of the Newport Beach coast, following announcement that a huge school of tuna had made its appearance off Newport. Frank and Nick Suttora reported that they had landed three of the mammoth fish, the yellow-fine variety, in the first catch of the season, and had seen many others, traveling west, three miles off the Southern Pacific wharf. This was the earliest run of tuna ever noted in the vicinity of Newport and old-time fishermen were unable to account for the presence of this fish in these waters. Under ordinary conditions, tuna seldom run in this vicinity until the summer is far advanced. According to City Marshal J. A. Porter, of Newport, fishermen have never before sighted tuna there until August or early September. Porter said he was unable to explain the early run. The Suttora brothers likewise were unable to throw any light on the phenomenon. In landing the three tuna, the Suttora brothers used a salmon linen net 600 feet long and twelve feet deep. This gill net, which is unusually strong, was equal to the job of capturing the big fish, one of which weighed seventy-eight pounds. The average for the three fish was about seventy pounds. Halibut, mackerel and bass were clation managers in various sections are quoted, among them C. C. Chapman, of Fullerton; L. D. Palmer, of Orange; I. G. McBeth, Fullerton, and C. L. Crumrine, La Habra. Growers indicate a damage varying from 10 to 50 per cent. Smudging prevented serious damage in many of the districts, it is reported. Briefly summarized, damage reports are as follows: Fullerton-La Habra—damage to navels at Fullerton, 25 per cent; lemons at La Habra, 50 per cent; oranges 10 per cent. Santa Ana, Orange, El Modena, Villa Park and foothill districts, little or no damage; lowland fruits damaged approximately 50 per cent. Rialto-Fontana—County damage average 25 per cent; Rialto, 15 per cent and Colton'25 per cent. Riverside-Arlington—Lemons 10 per cent, oranges 20 per cent. Corona, oranges under 10 per cent. Pomona-Claremont—Oranges 60 per cent, with lemons in excess of this. Ontario-Upland—Oranges and lemons 50 per cent. Porterville—Navel crop nearly all harvested; Valencias damaged 25 per cent; unpicked lemons damaged 75 per cent. San Bernardino-Highlands—County as a whole 30 per cent; Highlands 40 per cent to 50 per cent. Redlands-Mentone—Redlands, Byrn mawr and Mentone, 50 per cent; Crafton, 40 per cent. Whittier—Oranges 20 per cent; lemons, 50 per cent. Santa Barbara—Loss estimated at 10 per cent. Monrovia-Sierra Madre—Average 35 per cent. It isn't much use to be going if you never arrive. J. B. Mulvey, of Anaheim, had no complaint to make of the first 33 years of his wedding life. Then things began to happen, he says, citing in his divorce complaint the following: When Cornellia Mulvey, who married him nearly 39 years ago, hit him over the head with the butt of a rifle on Christmas day, he thought it was no display of the peace-on-earth spirit. Later, when she hit him in the same place with a chunk of wood; still later when she changed tactics and used the butt of a revolver; then finally tried a hand satchel which contained some heavy article, he refrained from filling a battery charge. Instead, he sought the divorce court. Back in 1883 they were carried in Calamus county, Iowa, on Washington's birthday. All went well for the first 33 years. Then, on Christmas day in 1916, came the alleged episode of the rifle. The subsequent attacks were spread over the succeeding five years. The last attack, it is alleged, took place at Anaheim, where he had come to live with his son, Howard, 17. She followed him here, angrily explain the early run. The Suttora brothers likewise were unable to throw any light on the phenomenon. In landing the three tuna, the Suttora brothers used a salmon linen net 600 feet long and twelve feet deep. This gill net, which is unusually strong, was equal to the job of capturing the big fish, one of which weighed seventy-eight pounds. The average for the three fish was about seventy pounds. Halibut, mackerel and bass were also reported plentiful by the Suttora brothers. HUSBAND SAYS WIFE WIELDED GUN BUTTS J. B.

After repeated efforts, receiving no response, she reports your line as "out of order." It is then disconnected from the regular switchboard and placed on a special board where it awaits the attention of the repairing forces. All this takes time. It involves tests, reports and generally a trip to the location of the trouble. In the meantime, what happens? Others have been unable to reach you by telephone. Even if the mistake has been discovered and your telephone placed on the hook, service may not it awaits the attention of the repairing forces. All this takes time. It involves tests, reports and generally a trip to the location of the trouble. In the meantime, what happens? Others have been unable to reach you by telephone. Even if the mistake has been discovered and your telephone placed on the hook, service may not be restored until the "troubleman's" final O. K. On a party line all other telephones on the line are deprived of both incoming and outgoing service for the same period of investigation and repair. "Off the hook" is a most common cause of interruption to telephone service. By the exercise of care in this connection you will protect your service and avoid inconvenience to yourself and others.

"Well, for one thing, when you unearth a city that has been buried for two or three thousand years, you don't have to listen to the reminiscences of the oldest inhabitants." A SECOND CHANCE "Do I understand you to say that you will sell this seven hundred dollar dining room set on the installment plan for only five dollars down and three dollars a week?" "That's the offer." "Why, man, by the time it was paid for it would be old and worn out." "YeYs, I know. But then you could sell it for a genuine antique." Are High Taxes Eating Up Your Income?
