NEW GAME AND FISH LAW PROPOSED With conservation of California's fish and game the object of the legislation, three bills designed to assure the states' hunters and stream followers bountiful sport for years to come are being prepared and will be introduced in either the assembly or senate within the next few days. They are: A bill for limiting each hunter to one deer each season. A bill prohibiting the use of dogs in hunting deer. A bill increasing the hunting or fishing license to a figure at least double the $1 now charged. The only measure expected to relieve much opposition is the one preventing the use of dogs by deer hunters. Members of the legislature are being flooded with letters from sportsmen opposed to the bill. Cattle owners are heartily in favor of it, declaring number of hunters, the ease with ten attack their cattle. The fish and game commission is supporting the measure to limit each hunter to one buck per season. The commission declares that the increasing number of hunters, the east with which game country is reached and the rapid decrease of male deer has made such a law imperative if California sportmen do not desire to extinguish the animals entirely. Assemblyman C. C. Baker, of Salinas, member of the assembly fish and game commission and a well known sportsman in Monterey county, declared he will work for the passage of the bill increasing the state hunting and fishing license fee. "California has the lowest fees of any state in the union," declared Baker. "On the other hand we have some of the best hunting and fishing and I am sure every fair-minded sportsman would be willing to pay as much as $5 each year for his hunting and fishing." The two agencies that restore exhausted bodies are sleep and sunlight. When the seasons change and we have an hour less of daylight, we need an extra hour of sleep to make up for the loss. No two bodies are exactly alike, however, and the sleep that will recuperate one may be too much or not enough for another. The wise plan is to let nature guide us. She tells us when we need sleep—makes us drowsy. When we get up in the morning "all fagged out," we are cheating nature and injuring our health. NEW TRUCK WEIGHT SCHEME Has County Motorcycle Officer O. K. Carr devised a scheme whereby the county traffic regulations limiting the weight of truck loads can be adequately and strictly enforced and at the same time render such enforcement self-supporting? County officials and others interested in the protection of the county's system of paved roads were seriously considering the Carr plan with the possibility that Orange county may adopt it and at the same time institute a system which may spread all over California, because of what Carr says are cumbersome rules for the enforcement of county regulations of a similar nature. In explaining his plan, Carr pointed out that the present system was not satisfactory because of the time element it involved, with the resultant delay in fast freight traffic, and the laxness with which regulations are enforced because of the amount of attention it requires from enforcing officers. Under his plan standard scales would be installed on all incoming truck highways in Orange county, which would be at San Juan Capistrano, Huntington Beach, Seal Beach, Buena Park, La Habra, Brea and Santa Ana canyon. nas, member of the assembly fish and game commission and a well known sportsman in Monterey county, declared he will work for the passage of the bill increasing the state hunting and fishing license fee. "California has the lowest fees of any state in the union," declared Baker. "On the other hand we have some of the best hunting and fishing and I am sure every fair-minded sportsman would be willing to pay as much as $5 each year for his hunting and fishing privilege, when he considers that the money goes to carrying on the good work of the fish and game commission." Baker declared he has been informed there has been a move started for a bill raising the trout limit. This scheme is particularly desired by the sportsmen from sections where the trout are small. The assemblyman declared, however, that since the big aim is to conserve the state's hunting and fishing for years to come, such a bill is not likely to meet with favor. "The commission last year planted twenty-six million trout," Baker stated, "and received requests for seventy-six millions. Lack of funds prevented their being supplied. A lion hunting department with trained sportsmen engaged to seek and slay the mountain lions in California is being outlined by the commission, it was learned. Some sections of the state are suffering great loss of wild animals due to their being killed by lions. Two Monterey county trappers recently reported that they found the remains of twenty-eight deer killed by mountain lions in one section. In the same district only eight were brought down all last season by hunters. WEATHER CHANGES Here's something to liven up your daily discussion of the weather. The coldest place in the country is Devil's Lake, N.D. It has 64 days in the year when the thermometer is at zero or below, and 192 days when the temperature is freezing or lower. The longest and most severe winters are in North Dakota, Minnesota and the northern parts of Michigan and Vermont. Despite the cold they have to endure, the people of these sections impress a travler as stacking up very robust and generally healthy. They have to be, to stand the winter climate it involved, with the resultant delay in fast freight traffic, and the laxness with which regulations are enforced because of the amount of attention it requires from enforcing officers. Under his plan standard scales would be installed on all incoming truck highways in Orange county, which would be at San Juan Capistrano, Huntington Beach, Seal Beach, Buena Park, La Habra, Brea and Santa Ana canyon. A special officers would be stationed each of these places to check the weight of each incoming truck, a process which would require the minimum of time under the scale system. A nominal fee would be collected for the service and a certificate of weight supplied the driver of the truck. Traffic officers over the county could demand to see this check when questions as to weight of loads arose. The fees would pay the salary of the men assigned to attend to the scales, Carr believes. After the weight had been taken by the county special officer, no driver could plead ignorance as an excuse for an overload, the motorcycle police man emphasized further. Heavy fines could then be justly assessed for violations. A GREAT INDUSTRY If someone should propose to a group o every wealthy business men the investment of 20 billions of dollars in a going industrial operation, enormously active from a business point of view, and with certainty of continuance of activity, the first question to be asked after these considerations were established, would be what returns could be counted upon for the mone yinvested. We cannot imagine that any such undertaking would be participated in b ythese capitalists unless the returns in net profit would show up to at least 6 per cent in lean years, with an opportunity of a very much larger return in other years. If it should be shown that the returns on this investment had sunken during two years of very great activity to only 3.47 per cent per annum on the 20 billions, that there was no certainty under even great industrial prosperity, that these returns would increase very much and that the limit of profit under the law was 5 3-4 per cent no matter how much the industry might earn, no safe captain of indus- when the thermometer is at zero or below, and 192 days when the temperature is freezing or lower. The longest and most severe winters are in North Dakota, Minnesota and the northern parts of Michigan and Vermont. Despite the cold they have to endure, the people of these sections impress a traveller as stacking up very robust and generally healthy. They have to be, to stand the winter climate. So nature comes to their rescue, hardens them against the hardships of weather. Nature fortifies us against almost any obstacle we encounter, provided we live sensibly and let her take her natural course. If the story of Devil's Lake doesn't make a sensation among your weather discussers, try this. The "winter line" has moved north 130 miles in the last 25 years. Putting it in a more scientific way, American climate is one and a third degrees warmer, averaging the whole year, now than it was in 1897. A change of one degree in temperature moves the "winter line" 100 miles north or south. Scientists claim that climate has not changed much in the last 100 years. If we average winter and summer over 10-year periods. But the old settlers probably are right about winters in the northern states not being as severe as they used to be. Snowfall is lighter than in the old days when sleighs drove over fence-tops. Depleting forests seems to have changed snowfalls in some mysterious way. In winter we need an hour's more sleep than in summer, says the medical editor of the London Times. He figures it out this way: If it should be shown that the returns on this investment had sunken during two years of very great activity to only 3.47 per cent per annum on the 20 billions, that there was no certainty under even great industrial prosperity, that these returns would increase very much and that the limit of profit under the law was 5 3-4 per cent no matter how much the industry might earn, no same captain of industry or owner of wealth would think of going into the enterprise. The great industrial operation actually exists. The aggregation is the railroad system of the United States. The valuation put upon it (much below its real worth) is 20 billions of dollars. It is one of the most stable investments in the country, except for one thing. Law and regulation have pounded down its earning power so that today the returns are far below a figure which would attract the investor. The actual results for the last two years ere an aggregate return of only 3.47 per cent per annum. In the dozen or more years, just passed, the railroads of this country, as a whole, rarely approached an average return of 5 3-4 per cent (the maximum limit now gixed by law) and in only one year, 1916, was this exceeded when 6.1 per cent was earned. These conditions are confiscatory. They must be abolished if railroad credit is to be established that will secure sufficient revenue to justify railroad expansion. There can be no expansion and improvement unless the railroads are given the ability to earn a fair return to investors and a surplus, besides, for emergencies—and are assured of such conditions. This alone will encourage investors to put Angeles, Ventura and San Diego. Orange county ers. Other coed, but comm present to sign. Present from Menton were audite; C. F. Craemer, Leon T. B.

AT THE ARENA Young Montoya and Art Springer put up another of their sensational bouts at Anaheim Friday night. The decision was adraw. Few who witnessed the bout would care to attempt to pick the better of the two fighters. Both the Cyclone Midget and Jack Grande failed to show and in their place Scotty Diest and Young Terry staged the semi-final, fighting four fast rounds to a draw. Babe Arton broke his hand in the second round of his bout with Young Burton, a colored lad. The latter was the superior of the to and would have been awarded the match in any case. Tex Jones also broke his hand on the hard head of Billy Jordan. Tommy Reddy lost to Tony Ross, but if he had fought the first three rounds in the whirlwind fashion of the last, the decision might have been awarded to the red-headed boxer. Young Russtill and McClure fought to a draw as the curtain raiser. DELIVERS HIMELF TO JAIL "The victrola and the canary will arrive tomorrow," announced young Stanley Deer, of Eagle Rock, as he applied at the county jail Saturday morning, with two retainers carrying a large trunk, for a room in which to spend the 10 day sentence imposed by Judge Cox for speeding. Deer gave his age as 19 years. His weight is approximately 260 pounds. Following the struggle of his two followers to drag the trunk into the jail, young Deer picked up the box and carried it away like a suit case. “What are you going to do with that trunk?” Jailer Moncrief asked the young prisoner. additional capital into the business. The transportation syste mof the country is the key to success or failure in trade and commerce; upon its prosperity depends the general prosperity of the country, and its failure to succeed means depression and hard times in the United States. The 20 billions of capital is already invested in the business. It has been furnished by millions of people—men, women, children, widows, orphans, rich, poor and middle class. It is estimated that, including the investments in railroad securities of savings institutions and life insurance companies, there are interested, directly or indirectly in this great transportation fund, over fifty millions of people—half the population of the United States. PROSPECTS BRIGHT FOR RE-APPORTIONMENT With a telegraphic bombardment under way, urging the legislature equitably to re-apportion the state according to the last federal census, Republicans of Orange county and other southern California counties who attended a meeting in Los Angeles, at which the bombardment was decided upon, were confident of victory in the fight to procure for the southern part of the state that legislative representation to which they believe it to be entitled. Present at the meeting, which was held at the Hotel Clark, were county central committeemen from virtually all of the southern California counties. Resolutions, urging the present legislature to attempt legislation to give the southland what was called just representation, were passed and signed by the chairman of Orange, Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara, Inyo and San Diego. William F. Menton, of Orange county headed the list of signers. Other counties were represented, but committee chairmen were not present to sign the resolutions. Present from Orange county besides Menton were W. C. Jerome, county auditor; C. F. Newton, Justus F. Craemer, Leon Whitsell, Orange, and T. B.

DISCUSS HARBOR TONIGHT Although official confirmation was lacking, indications were that facts and figures concerning the further development of Orange county harbor would come up for discussion at the meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce at Fullerton tonight. Dinner will be served in the rooms of the Fullerton club at 6:30 o'clock. "While I do not plan to initiate the movement," said President C. L. Crumrine, "it is my belief that the hour is opportune for a thorough discussion of the harbor projects and possibilities." "This is particularly true of the north end of the county." In this connection was pointed out that, inasmuch as Thursday night's meeting probably would be attended by many residents of Fullerton, La Habra, Brea, Placentia, Anaheim and other points in the north end of the county, general discussion of the harbor project would go far toward smoothing the way for a better understanding in the event financial assistance is required at a later date. At the same time, it was probable that members of the group which escorted United States engineers about the harbor last Friday would discuss the details of the tour. Twenty men prominent in activities in behalf of Orange county harbor were guests at a luncheon at the Newport Harbor Yacht club, complimentary to Col. Herbert Deakyne, United States engineer in charge of the Pacific coast division, and Major E. D. Ardery, engineer for the Los Angeles district. The plan of the Santa Ana chamber to hold a "harbor boost banquet" at St. Ann's Inn in February will also be discussed at the meeting of the associated chambers. Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara, Inyo and San Diego. William F. Menton, of Orange county headed the list of signers. Other counties were represented, but committee chairmen were not present to sign the resolutions. Present from Orange county besides Menton were W. C. Jerome, county auditor; C. F. Newton, Justus F. Craemer, Leon Whitsell, Orange, and T. B. Talbert, Huntington Beach, chairman of Orange county board of supervisors. In discussing re-apportionment Menton declared it was the duty of the legislature to carry out the constitutional provisions that provide for re-apportionment, following a federal census. It was also the duty of the people of the state, he said, to support the legislature in the carrying out of those provisions. "We have had sufficient experience with San Francisco to know that for reasons of local loyalty or otherwise it will fight us and die fighting," said Menton. "There is alays a feeling in the small communities that the large communities are trying to take something away from them, but in this case Los Angeles is not trying to take anything away from anybody in southern California, only from San Francisco, and that only because of a right to it. We feel in Orange county that we should habe a senatorial district separate from Ricerside and Imperial. We now have more than 60,000 population. But we are no dog in the manger, and we want to see fair play." Talbert said that "if we can't get our rights in a normal way we must carry our fight to the limit and demand all that is coming to us." It as pointed out that if re-apportionment were made, Orange county Twenty men prominent in activities in behalf of Orange county harbor were guests at a luncheon at the Newport Harbor Yacht club, complimentary to Col.

BURGLARIES AT FULLERTON Fullerton police and sheriff's office operatives are still mystified by the series of burglaries which have occurred there during the past few days. Booty valued at $500 was removed from the home of John Huffman, 118 West Malvern avenue. Fullerton. Huffman prevented greater inroads, when he arrived home unexpectedly and drove the burglars away; it was said. Simultaneously with the Huffman raid, a lone burglar entered the home of Will Irvin, 114 West Malvern avenue. A short time latter the residence of Guy Hatfield, at 336 West Malvern avenue, was entered, and in Placentia, the homes of Raymond Johnson and P. Anderson. Police sought clues in connection with the robbery of the residence of A. R. Marshall, 1212 North Ross street, Santa Ana, Sunday night, between 7 and 9 o'clock, when articles estimated to be worth $60 were taken. The loot included a woman's leather hand-bag containing $$8; a gold locket and chain; a gold watch; gold watch fob; a .32 caliber Smith & Wes- Ford SEDAN New Price $595 F.O.B.
