EYES ON LATIN AMÉRICA The Monroe Doctrine, the hundredth anniversary of which was celebrated the second of this month, having reached man's estate in international affairs, is quite likely to be put to the test in the not distant future, due to the commercial campaigns now being instituted by European powers to jockey into the most advantageous positions for trade with the Latin Americas. Great Britian now has a financial mission in Brazil, invited there to confer with the Brazilian Government on economic questions with the object of greater participation of British capital in that huge country, larger than the United States, not conting Alaska and except for coastal development, practically untouched. For some time we were doing considerable boasting because we had established a naval mission in Brazil, and the British were quite frankly peeved about it and criticized their government in a rawther nawsty manner. But Britain has gone us one better, for in these commercial days money talks louder than guns, and while we may man the guns of Brazil, Britain will scan the budget. France has established a military commission in Argentina, and will use that as an entering wedge to extend her power and influence. Some of the money which France owes us and delays paying will no doubt be put to very effective use in this direction. Italy and Spain have entered into understandings with several South American countries, it is understood. Italy should be particularly strong in Argentina as the population of that country is about 25 per cent Italian—the North Italy type, descended from the Lombards, full of pep and progress. duced a carernous condition of the rocks that will show spectacular results. WILD GAME IS PASSING That 50 per cent of the wild denizens of field and woodland will have paid with their life this year because of the use of the automobile in hunting is the statement of Dr. William T. Hornaday of New York City. That is to say, the modern hunter can easily cover far more territory than could be covered by the hunter who went afoot or followed after a horse. Dr. Hornaday says that four times the former area can be covered by the automobile hunter. The distinguished director of the New York Zoological Garden thinks that our wild game is doomed unless protective measures are adopted. In addition to protective legislation, Dr. Hornaday would call on the good sportsmanship of the hunter. Let the hunter go slow and take the reasonable tool, recognizing the new peril to wild life. He appeals to the sentiment of self-interest. Otherwise legislation will not be able to preserve the birds of the air and beasts of the field that have so long made this country of ours a hunter's paradise. The pump gun is accountable for much useless slaughter of birds. We have examples of the decrease of game right here at home. But a few years ago quall and dove were fairly numerous an hour's ride from Riverside; ducks were plentiful all along the river, and on Lake Elsinore they literally swarmed. Rabbits were so numerous as to be a menace. Today they are mighty scarce. The same is true of deer in the mountains of Southern California. The hunter and mountain lions have reduced them to the point where they no longer afford a target for the hunter. Geese come BIG CAVE IN NEW MEXICO Carlsbad Cavern is an immense cave in New Mexico that shows unusual beauty and a great variety of natural features. It is in the eastern foothills of the Guadalupe Mountains, about 10 miles north of the Texas line and 22 miles southwest of Calsbad, the principal town in southeastern New Mexico. The cavern is said to have been discovered in 1901 by J. L. White and Bige Long, whose attention was drawn to it by the great numbers of bats they saw coming out of a hole in the side of a small valley. They entered the hole and found a cave containing large deposits of bat guano. These deposits were worked for several years. Mr. White has recently explored several miles of the chambers of the cavern. About half a mile from the opening from which the bats were seen coming the cavern becomes phenomenally large and spectacular. About 3 miles of its hallways and chambers, including its most ornate parts, were surveyed in the spring of 1923 by Robert A. Holley, of the General Land Office. In September, 1923, the cavern was visited by Willis T. Lee, a geologist of the Department of the Interior, who spent three days examining and photographing it. On Mr. Lee's return from New Mexico the National Park Service recommended that the cavern should be made a national monument and a proclamation setting it apart as recommeded was issued by the President October 25, 1923. No part of the cavern has yet been of game right here at home. But a few years ago quail and doves were fairly numerous an hour's ride from Riverside; ducks were plentiful all along the river, and on Lake Elsinore they literally swarmed. Rabbits were so numerous as to be a menace. Today they are mighty scarce. The same is true of deer in the mountains of Southern California. The hunter and mountain lions have reduced them to the point where they no longer afford a target for the hunter. Geese come no more in great triangular sky columns. Warren Wilson, former newspaper man and owner of the Los Angeles Journal up to the time of his death a few years ago, related to the writer experiences of antelope hunting in the region of Box Springs when a boy. If there is an antelope today in California it is in a zoo. They had no protection against hunters. The automobile has been a strong factor in wild game destruction and there should be some legislation that would counteract the aggression of the auto hunter. We would like to see enacted a law protecting all game animals and birds every seven years against all hunting. This would enable the game to breed unmolested these years and it is believed that they would multiply amazingly under this protection. Under the old Moscalc law the land was allowed to remain fallow every seven years, and this was good agriculture. A similar law protecting our California game would help to perpetuate species that now threaten to become extinct. A FEW MATCHES 4,675,650,000,000. No, gentle reader, this long line of figures does not as might be supposed represent the paper money of the European countries in which currency inflation is the order of the day. On the contrary, they are the plain uninflated statistics of the world consumption of that article of daily and hourly use, the match. A recent flotation in the United States of a large loan for the purpose of enlarging the activities of the world match manufacturing industry has led the Trade Record of the National City Bank of New York to a study of the world's outturn and consumption of matches and it estimates that the people of the world used last year 4,675,650,000,000 matches for which they paid approximately $200,000,000. This estimate of the number of In September, 1923, the cavern was visited by Willis T. Lee, a geologist of the Department of the Interior, who spent three days in examining and photographing it. On Mr. Lee's return from New Mexico the National Park Service recommended that the cavern should be made a national monument and a proclamation setting it apart as recommeded was issued by the President October 25, 1923. No part of the cavern has yet been thoroughly explored, but enough is known of it to show that it will rank high among the famous caverns of the world. Visitors to it who say that they are familiar with other great caverns assert that some of its chambers surpasses in size any others yet discovered. One room is more than half a mile long and several hundred feet wide, and its ceiling is so high that torchlights failed to illuminate it. The floor of the cavern is 170 feet below the entrance, which was formed by the fall of a small part of the roof. In a distance of less than 2 miles from this point the floor descends about 500 feet, yet the bottom of the cavern lies still deeper, for Mr. White has found chambers and hallways 200 feet lower. The depths of the cavern therefore lie at least a thousand feet vertically below the entrance. The geologic conditions in the vicinity of Carlsbad Cavern are unusual. The limestone in which the cavern has been carved is about 1,300 feet thick and is underlain by an equally thick series of beds of soft red shale and sandstone that include thick beds of gypsum and rock salt. The occurrence of these easily soluble beds under the 1,300 feet of hard yea soluble limestone may have pro- A recent flotation in the United States of a large loan for the purpose of enlarging the activities of the world match manufacturing industry has led the Trade Record of the National City Bank of New York to a study of the world's outturn and consumption of matches and it estimates that the people of the world used last year 4,675,650,000,000 matches for which they paid approximately $200,000,000. This estimate of the number of matches used and their cost to the "final consumer" is based upon data supplied by high authorities in the match industry of the world. Figures recently published by a high authority in London put the average per capita consumption of matches by the people of Europe at from 6 to 10 matches per day, and estimates by an equally high authority in the match industry of the whole world at about 7 matches per day. FRANCS AND MARKS Secretary Mellon's letter to Senator Borah regarding the prospects of payment by France of the war debt either goes out of the way to be casuistically complimentary to France or else displays a sanguine cheerfulness in no wise supported by the facts he mentions. The head of the American treasury department is quoted as declaring that France has indicated that eventually it intends to make arrangement for the definite funding of its obligations to the United States. As the last basic fact mentioned in the letter occurred in August, 1922, and this fact included an official statement that France had postponed consideration of her obligation "indefinitely." the reference is not very encouraging And since then, it has been publicly stated by the administration in France that the Paris government regarded the French debt to America as depending for payment on the German debt to France. Apparently we can regard this "definite funding" as on the same plane of probability as the definite funding of the German mark. THE VETERAN'S BUREAU Reorganization of the central board of appeal of the Veteran's Bureau, recently ordered by Director Frank T. Hines, will be in absolute accord with the suggestions of the American Legion, according to Morgan Keaton, State Adjutant of the American Legion in California. Keaton has just returned from a conference with legion heads at Indianapolis. Under the proposed increase of board members from seven to seventeen, the cases of approximately 50,000 disabled men may be expected to pass through the hands of the appeal board. Heretofore the legion estimates that less than 12,000 cases received consideration. The fifth annual convention of the legion passed a resolution calling for an increase in the personnel of the board in order that while certain cases were being reviewed by part of the board, other members might prepare those next in turn, expediting adjudication. According to Adjutant Keaton, the reorganization is frankly greeted as a legion accomplishment. Establishment of a finance service by the Veterans' Bureau, with separate divisions for disbursement and accounting, is another reform which was advocated by the legion. STATE INSURANCE FUND "to recognize that debt contract with our government, not by the Czar, but by the new formed Republic of Russia." That debt amounts to about $235,000,000. Here is a Presidential utterance that may well be pondered by other nations indebted to the United States. The same reasoning that denies recognition to Russia for non-acknowledgement of her debt could be applied to withdrawal of recognition from any other country for similar cause. Leading statesmen of both France and Italy have openly asserted that their governments would not pay their American obligations, and other smaller debtor countries have exhibited an apathy that opens their credit to very serious question. We do not recommend or suggest that friendly relations with any of them be severed nevertheless, Mr. Coolidge's reference to the Russian debt carries a pointed meaning to all of them.

Day, manager of the Fund. Day estimates that the total premium income for the 1923 year of issue will total $5,600,000. The actual premiums earned by the Fund increased more than $830,000 during the year just ending, Day's report will show. Policyholders of the State Fund will receive a distribution of $1,600,000 on policies issued in 1923 because of the healthy and prosperous condition. "Business methods in our offices coupled with efficiency and economy as advocated by Governor Richardson are responsible for the growth of the State Compensation Insurance Fund," Day declares. "We have reorganized our work which is increasing so rapidly that it has been necessary to enlarge our southern offices and have insisted upon an economical and efficient handling of the State's business. Policyholders appreciate this and our tremendous increase of almost a $1,000,000 in premiums earned during 1923 attest to the standing of the Fund in the minds of the business world." GOOD RESOLUTION In the list of good resolutions for the New Year, none is more practical or constructive than the suggestion that comes from the Automobile Club of Southern California. "Make it a no accident year" is the 1924 resolution adopted by this huge organization of motor vehicle drivers, with its 93,000 members distributed throughout the thirteen southern counties of the state. The new year dawns with more than half a million motor vehicles in use in the territory covered by the club.
