On Thursday evening a nice shower of rain gladdened the hearts of the farmers. As we go to press there is ever pindication of a continued spell of wet weather. The rain fall on Thursday night was one-eighth of an inch, making the total rain-falls to date 3 3.16 inches. Two youngsters in pursuit of pleasure attempted to make a fire in the cellar beneath Clark's book store a day or two ago. They were fortunately discovered before their efforts were crowned with success. Get your wall paper at Backs Bros.

Notice for bids for doing said work to be given by publication in the La Habra Star, It is a matter of common knowledge that the United States leads the world in point of the extent of telephone service; but the great degree of the American superiority is not so generally appreciated. According to a recent survey, on January 1, 1921, there were 20,850,550 telephones in the world, and of these 13,329,379, or 64 per cent, were in the United States. In other words, with only about one-sixteenth of the world's population, the United States has almost two-thirds of the world's telephones. The number of telephones in all the countries of Europe combined was 5,289,606, or only 25 per cent of the world's total. In the relation between telephone and population, Europe is today exactly where the United States was some 25 years ago. Of the total number of telephones in the world on January 1, 1921, about 14,950,000 were operated by private companies, and about 5,900,000 by various governments. The survey indicates, however, that there is a distinct tendency for the development of telephone service to be more extensive in those countries in which service is operated by private companies than in countries in which there is government ownership. Thus, in the United States, where telephones are under road district No. 17. Resolution of intention No. 1. Bids of Griffith company of $77,400 was taken under ad valence until January 3, at 11 a.m. In the matter of road district improvement No. 8, resolution of intention No. 8, the clery was ordered to make entries in said minutes showing corrections of said minutes in accordance with the facts. THE UNITED STATES LEADS THE WORLD Have you ever been "Neckitis"? According to word trails of the Automobileern California from points motorists have severe cases of "Neckitis" throwing back upward at funny things like sky these nights. If this complaint is throughout southern it is no telling what may affect conditions, say off safety bureau. Hundred can be seen out any evening for the purpose of the start named after young God of Mt. Olive paying his fifth visit to the last half century. Been visible from dawn m., at fifteen degrees horizon to the southwest of "Neckitis" were cording to observers, when the blushing Ver private ownership, there were 12.4 telephones for each 100 people in the country, a development higher than that of any other country. Canada, in which four-fifths of the telephones were under private ownership, had the second best development, 9.8. In Europe, the best developed country was Denmark, with 7.7 telephones for every 100 people, followed by Sweden with 6.6, and Norway with 5.0. In all these countries, telephone service was developed by private enterprise, al., though the government has bought out the private companies in Sweden and parts of Norway. Germany, although it ranked next to the United States as to number of telephones, with 1,809,574 instruments, had a development per 100 inhabitants of only 3.0. Austria had 2.2, Great Britain 2.1, France 1.2, Belgium 0.8, and Japan 0.6. In all these countries, telephones are owned and operated by the government. So far as the telephone development of cities is concerned, the United States again leads the world. Except from some cities in Canada, a few in the Scandinavian countries, and one city in Switzerland, no foreign city of any size had a development as high as 10 telephones per 1000 inhabitants, whereas the average development of the 30 United States cities with a population of 250,000 or more was 16.7. Judged by United States telephone standards, the great cities of Europe are exceedingly under-developed, in spite of the fact that telephone service abroad is largely restricted to the cities. One-third of all the telephones in France are in Paris; one-third of all the telephones in Great Britain are in London. The sort of telephone service that is such a well-known feature of life in the smaller communities and rural districts in the United States and Canada is almost unknown abroad.

South and Loo Choice Reside From $1000 15 Pct Down, balance ENGINEERING FIELD Men engaged in the engineering field will welcome the announcement of the completion of a course by correspondence covering the field of materials which are commonly used in structural and engineering. The thirty assignments of which it is composed are based on Johnson's "Materia of Construction," fifth edition (Wiley) as a text. Two units of university credit are granted on completion of the lessons and on passing an examination, which need not be taken, of course, unless credit is desired. The comprehensiveness of the material in the text and of the explanatory matter sent out in mimeographed form with each assignment leaves nothing to be desired from the standpoint of an up-to-date discussion of the various materials covered. Five assignments are deyoted to a discussion of wood, stone and brick as structural materials. The deterioration and preservation of wood is treated in an exhaustive manner. Concrete, both plain and re-inforced take up six assignments which are preceded by three others on Portland cement, lime and plaster. Ten assignments are given over to a study of iron and steel, particular attention being placed on manufacture, heat treatment and the effects of various alloying metals on the strength and composition of steel. The latest information and theories relative to the fatigue and corrosion of metals is also included. The author of the course is Clement T. Wiskocil, associate professor of civil engineering, University of California, who has had much experience in teaching this subject. He has studied under Turneaure and Withep at the University of Wisconsin, both recognized as experts in the field of structural materials. The course is divided into two parts of fifteen assignments each designated the moon and staged a kiss with the man therein. "Star gazing" is heap bad medicine, say safety bureau officers, if by star gazing is meant "rubbering" at every thing under the heavens but the road and approaching motor cars. Motorists who drive while gazing either and you instead of tending to their knitting as they should, are becoming a serious menace to the touring public it is reported. No slam is intended for the good people who park their cars in safe places, throw back the tops of the machines and indulge in a little astronomical research, but a very serious complaint is registered by the automobile club with motorists who do their hypothetical astronomy work while propelling the cars along crowded boulevards. WATER CONSERVATION Francis Cuttle, chairman of the tri-counties reforestation committee, returned from Sacramento, where he went to interview the governor and board of control relative to co-operation by the state for the care and extension of the fire protective system on the watershed of the Santa Ana its own stake. The fastest train is the most frequented, the swiftest ship is at a premium, the automobile that covers ground at the briskest rate gets the popular favor. But what do people do with all the time that they save by these modern inventions? The truth is that men of this day seem to have less time than ever before in history, for all the efforts they make to save time and do things quickly. Instead of profiting by the leisure which modern inventions have brought about after the necessary things are quickly done, they take up all manner of new pursuits in order to use or rather to waste the time they have saved. Alongside, therefore, of every sort of time-saving device, we see exhibited and advertised all manner of other devices for killing or wasting time. Cheap perioicals, which serve to use up an hour and leave the mind worse than they find it, commercialized entertainments which appeal to the low er passions and interests and waste a bit out of life while they injure the soul; these and a hundred other means of losing and killing time are almost as popular as those other devices for The author of the course is Clement T.

The course is divided into two parts of fifteen assignments each designated 8A and 8B respectively. Applications for additional information or for enrollment should be sent to the extension division, 301 California Hall, Berkeley. STAR GAZING Have you ever been troubled with "Neckitis?" According to word received by officers of the Automobile Club of Southern California from various western points, motorists have developed some severe cases of "Neckitis" as a result of throwing back their heads to gaze upward at funny things to be seen in the sky these nights. If this complaint becomes general throughout southern California there is no telling what may happen to traffic conditions, say officers of the club safety bureau. Hundreds of motorists can be seen out any evening star gazing for the purpose of seeing Mercury, the start named after the fleet-footed young God of Mt. Olympus, who is paying his fifth visit to this section in the last half century. Mercury has been visible from dark to about 6 a.m., at fifteen degrees agonist the horizon to the southwest. Many cases of "Neckitis" were contracted, according to observers, the other night when the blushing Venus edged up to my work while propelling the cars along crowded boulevards. WATER CONSERVATION Francis Cuttle, chairman of the tri-counties reforestation committee, returned from Sacramento, where he went to interview the governor and board of control relative to co-operation by the state for the care and extension of the fire protective system on the watershed of the Santa Ana river and tributaries. Both the board of control and governor expressed the opinion that the work was necessary and advisable, and while not promising any support the matter was favorably received by both. A bill will be introduced providing for this co-operation by Assemblyman Chester M. Kline, who is now in the very strong position of being chairman of the ways and means committee of the assembly. Senators Eden and Swing, Mr. Kline, Mr. Jones, Dr Ball and Mr. Pendergast all lent their cordial and hearty support in presenting this matter to the governor and board of control. People receiving their water from this watershed may rest assured that representatives in the present legislature are keenly alive to their needs in this matter and that nothing will be left undone to secure necessary cooperation. LAVISH WASTE OF TIME It has been remarked many times that this is of all ages the one in which people are most anxious to save time. But they are not correspondingly zealous to use well the time that they save. Any device for saving time is considered desirable for time-saving device, we see exhibited and advertised all manner of other devices for killing or wasting time. Cheap perioicals, which serve to use up an hour and leave the mind worse than they find it, commercialized entertainments which appeal to the low er passions and interests and waste a bit out of life while they injure the soul, these and a hundred other means of losing and killing time are almost as popular as those other devices for saving it. Men today go to great trouble to economize that precious gift out of which our lives are made and then squander it again like prodigals. We shall do well to call ourselves to account about the use which we make of time. Is it of any profit to us to save as we do some moments by swifter methods of work and of travel then were possessed by our forefathers? Is our spare time given to the things worth while going or at least so recreation which lifts us up and refreshes us for our work, giving our minds wholesome thoughts and our bodies needful exercise? The deliberate use which men and women make of spare moments profoundly marks their character and influences their life. If we dwelt in a purer society and associated only with model characters, it would be easy for us simply to follow every one else's example and to go with the crowd in search of employment for our leisure hours. But unhappily to go with the crowd in these matters is to go dead wrong, or at least to go off the track so far as regards the most profitable employment of our time. We must take our own selves in hand and decide what use of time is best for us and not depend on others or on chance happenings to point out to us how to spend our moments. This thought is useful to everyone.

Duty to themselves and others demands of them to consider carefully and take good advice on the question of their vocation and when they have settled it, to go forward busily and bravely to use their time for what God intends and not for what their own whim desires. WHAT MAKES AMERICA MAD What particularly galls Americans is the thought that money owed to this country, and even enterest owed on that money, is used for selfish purposes which eventually in every instance lead to hostilities, distress and impoverishment which, in turn, appeal to the United States for relief.

The vast sums this country has subscribed for aid to war sufferers—often in wars which America had no concern, as in Anatolia—never has been regarded as other than a moral investment; nor is there any thought of cent for cent return on the part of the givers. But so long as Europe shows no disposition to economy, but adds monthly to its destruction of resources by wars which are neither in the cause of liberty nor of self-defense, just so long this country is bound to feel that the money owed to it must remain as a loan which, in time, must compel recognition, a thought-review of the distasters of destructive extravagance, and a new spirit of self-help as the first step to liquidating obligations.
