N. Thomas, representative of Major Gen. Henry T. Allen in the Southern California campaign for German child relief. In a recent public statement Dr. Thomas declares the Dawes plan to be the most encouraging element in the world news of the day. German industrial and financial chaos, he asserts, has poisoned and infected the commerce of all nations. The rest of Europe has suffered acutely from depression, and America, including California, is feeling the strain especially in agricultural industries, he states. In his opinion the Dawes plan has blazed the trail to world peace and prosperity, if we can only follow it. The question which Dr. Thomas raises is concerning the ability of the German people to meet the Dawes plan conditions, or any other reparation scheme, until they are first restored to normal physical efficiency. The burden will fall heaviest upon the They sat together in silence. Both were thinking of how much the mountains had to give them. Then the townsman spoke out. "After all, Bill, that Forest Ranger saved your life—and only did his sworn duty after that. Let's go up again—and help 'em put out a few fires." Before many minutes two hands met in a firm clasp; two friends looked in each other's smiling eyes. INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS There were only 8 more deaths chargable to industry in California in the year 1923 than in the year 1922, according to John A. McGilvray, chairman of the Industrial Accident Commission. The number of recorded industrial deaths in 1922 was 708. The records for 1923 show that 716 persons lost their lives in California while industrially employed. In 1921 there were 550 industrial deaths recorded. This increase of 8 industrial deaths in 1923 should be considered with the increase of construction activities in the state. In building construction alone, the reports show that in 35 cities in California, $414,887,500 were expended in new buildings compared to $291,597,890 in the year 1922, a gain of 42 per cent. While metal mining in California in the year 1923 remained about the same as in 1922, the oil industry reached its peak in the month of July. Although it is hard to estimate the amount of money expended in new work in California oil fields in 1923, there were, it is estimated 30,000 men employed. The rapidity of the work and the temporary nature of the equipment make the employment of the oil workers extremely hazardous. In this industry alone there were 62 fatalities in value, she was purchased normal valuation business co-applauded.

In his opinion the Dawes plan has blazed the trail to world peace and prosperity, if we can only follow it. The question which Dr. Thomas raises is concerning the ability of the German people to meet the Dawes plan conditions, or any other reparation scheme, until they are first restored to normal physical efficiency. The burden will fall heaviest upon the next generation, he declares, and millions of those who must compose it are now dwarfed, diseased, under-nourished little children who promise nothing as economically efficient beings for the fulfillment of their stupendous obligations. American food, freely supplied by American generosity, is their only hope for the normal physical vigor, mental aptitude, and moral stamina necessary to carrying out the reparation terms, Dr. Thomas insists. The child relief work nationally organized and directed by Major General Allen is supporting the American Quaker stations which now number nearly 2000 throughout the German industrial centers and reach 1,000,000 children daily with much needed supplementary meals. Reports from the Quaker supervisors, according to Dr. Thomas, state that the aid should be immediately extended to another 1,500,000 whose condition is critically serious. About a quarter of a million dollars has already been raised in Southern California for this work, and Dr. Thomas expects contributions during the remaining weeks of the drive will double this amount. The relief headquarters are at 228 San Fernando Building Los Angeles. All funds are transmitted to the national headquarters at New York for immediate use of the Quaker relief organization in purchase of American products to be shipped overseas. Mr. J.

In the year 1923 remained about the same as in 1922, the oil industry reached its peak in the month of July. Although it is hard to estimate the amount of money expended in new work in California oil fields in 1923, there were, it is estimated 30,000 men employed. The rapidity of the work and the temporary nature of the equipment make the employment of the oil workers extremely hazardous. In this industry alone there were 62 fatalities in 1923; 25 being due to faulty machinery; 12 due to falls; 11 due to falling objects and 9 due to burns. Intensive work in the oil fields by the engineers of the Industrial Accident Commission and the adoption of General Petroleum Industry Safety Oreders for Drilling and Production by the Commission in the month of February, 1924, together with the excellent cooperation of the oil producing companies and the men employed in the industry have materially reduced the hazard, and it is confidently predicted that the year 1924 will show a decided falling off of fatalities and serious injuries in the oil industry. In this connection it might be interesting to note that the National Safety Council estimates a 20 per cent increase of industrial accidents in the entire United States in 1923 and ascribes increased production as one of the principal causes thereof. A REAL GOVERNOR The sudden and menacing outbreak of the foot and mouth disease in central California and its spread to other sections created an emergency that well might test the fibre of the chief executive of the state. Governor Richardson immediately dealt with the situation with a resolution and adequacy that has undoubtedly saved California from huge and irreparable losses. At first but distant spectators of the threatening visitation, the people of Los Angeles became immediately concerned by reason of the sporadic appearance of the infection in this county. Thus they have had double occasion to observe the effective activity of the governor exercising the powers of his great office for the protection of the common welfare. He clearly saw from the very inception of the plague the nearly infinite injury it might inflict. Where a less resolute governor might have temporized for fear of creating enemies... DON'T SPOIL YOUR VACATION "If you'll ask me again next year, Jim, I'll go to the mountains with you. Gosh! What a life I led down at the beach this summer! Gabble, gabble, gabble all day long, girls parading up and down without enough clothes to see—my wife and my girl as bad as the rest, because 'Everybody does it'—cards all the afternoon, that game 'Ma Jongg' every night till your eyes were out of your head—or out of focus anyhow. I don't call that a rest!" "True for you, Bill, but don't fool yourself with thinking you must rest in the mountains. We five follows thought we had the finest camp planned in the world—left the car at Big Creek, got pack burros—you know the weeks we spent paring down our list of necessaries—only allowed ourselves the least necessary food, counting on some fish and "mountain sheep." "Well, we found a peach of a place, way off from everybody. Had a grand little game that night. Cold as blazes but we had a fire that was a fire, I tell you. Well, we turned in about P.A. M. and about eight I was kicked awake, by golly—kicked, and that by a kid in khakii! By the time I got my eyes open I could hardly see for smoke. That doggone fire of our had spread over the whole country, and the kid was a Forest Ranger making us get out before we were burned alive. Work? Never worked so hard in my life, and for twenty hours without stopping, before we got that fire corralled—bossed by that kid! And then if he didn't run us all in the nearest J.P. who fined us fifty dollars apiece for leaving our fire burning! Me, I'm going to the coast next summer, by golly, I'd rather be in the mountains!" Los Angeles became immediately concerned by reason of the sporadic appearance of the infection in this county. Thus they have had double occasion to observe the effective activity of the governor exercising the powers of his great office for the protection of the common welfare. He clearly saw from the very inception of the plague the nearly infinite injury it might inflict. Where a less resolute governor might have temporized for fear of creating enemies through the employment of necessarily rigorous remedies, he brought into action at once every available agency and power whereby the disease first might be localized and then eradicated. He knew he was right and, having that knowledge, didn't hesitate for an instant. California has suffered a heavy loss by reason of quarantine and other necessary measures, but that loss would have been incalculable had there been a governor in office who was a politician first and a governor only afterward. ANOTHER HOUSE FOR THE HOMELESS It should be gratifying to the people of the United States that at last this government owns its embassy building in Paris, France, thanks to the shrewdness of Ambassador Myron T. Herrick. Now, out of some 53 embassies and legations maintained by this Government abroad, four or five are housed in government-owned buildings. One of these buildings, that at London, was presented to the government by J. Pierpont Morgan, and it required an Act of Congress to accept the same. The building at Paris was secured by Ambassador Herrick at a time when the franc suffered a drastic fall ANAHEIM GAZETTE In value, so that the Grevy mansion was purchased at about one-third its normal value. Viewed as a private business coup this action should be applauded. And since we have made this deal in France there is no reason why we could not go ahead and take advantage of fallen exchanges elsewhere—in Germany, Austria, Hungary, Italy, and many other countries where our embassies are housed in rented quarters. When Congress made the appropriation for our participation in the Brazilian Centennial Exposition in 1922, a nice sum was set aside for the construction of a building for our exhibits, and it was wisely provided that when the fair was over this building should be remodeled to meet the needs of an embassy. That was done, and we have a government-owned embassy building in Rio de Janeiro which is a credit to our country. Perhaps if expositions were held in the various countries where American representatives are without diplomatic quarters, we might secure more of them in this manner; or if more of our rich ambassadors and ministers could take advantage of such an opportunity as presented itself to Mr. Herrick, Congress might indorse their action by supplying the needed sums. A Washington woman has added greatly to her fortune building official residences for foreign diplomats. Probably from ten to fifteen million dollars would give the United States Government an embassy or legation building in every country where we maintain a mission, and it would be money well spent. There is now being agitated a proposal for a large public building fund to provide us with post offices and other Government buildings in the United States. The government now pays out about the time of taking the preliminary examination. The mental examination will be written and will cover anatomy; physiology and histology; meteria medica and therapeutics; surgery; practice of medicine; and obstetrics and gynecology. The candidates' proficiency in English grammar, orthography and composition will be determined from their examination papers. Exemption from the preliminary professional examination will be granted to candidates who present to the examining board satisfactory written evidence of their status as licentiates of the National Board of Medical Examiners. Successful candidates who are not already members of the Medical Officers Reserve Corps will be recommended by the Central Medical Department Board for commissions as first lieutenants in the Medical Officers' Reserve Corps. Such candidates will be ordered to active duty under their reserve commissions to report to the Medical Field Service School, Carlisle Barracks, Pa., or to such other place as the Surgeon General may recommend, for observation and instruction for a period of approximately four months. At the conclusion of the period of observation and instruction, candidates will be given a final physical examination and a final qualifying examination in subjects in which they have received instruction and in their general aptitude for the military service. Application forms for examination may be obtained from the commanding officer of any military station or from the office of the Surgeon, Headquarters, Ninth Corps Area, Presidio of San Francisco. The application should be forwarded direct to the Adjutant General, Washington, D.C., and must be accompanied by evidence of citizenship, if the applicant any medical schools which the applicant has attended, the date of graduation, any post graduate work completed, time spent in practice of medicine and a complete statement of military service must be included in the application.

Probably from ten to fifteen million dollars would give the United States Government an embassy or legation building in every country where we maintain a mission, and it would be money well spent. There is now being agitated a proposal for a large public building fund to provide us with post offices and other Government buildings in the United States. The government now pays out about $13,000,000 annually for the rental, heating and lighting of buildings used for postoffices. Few, if any, of these buildings are properly equipped, and it is a simple business proposition that if the government owned its buildings, constructed so as to meet the requirements, the entire country would be benefited thereby. Should the public buildings program be adopted—and it has the sanction of the President—it should include embassies and legations, and it might well go farther and include consulates. It is beneath our national dignity for the United States to be houseless aboard, or a prey to the foreign landlord. EXAMS FOR DOCTORS Commissions as officers in the Medical Corps, regular army, will be awarded to successful candidates in competitive examinations which will be held between July 28 and August 2, 1924, in the Ninth Corps Area, which comprises the states of California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Utah and Nevada. An applicant to be eligible to take the preliminary examination must be a graduate of an acceptable medical school legally authorized to confer the degree of Doctor of Medicine and must have had at least one year's hospital training subsequent to the completion of a four-year course of instruction in an authorized medical school. One year’s service as a medical officer of the United States Army between April 6, 1917, and July 1, 1919, will be accepted in lieu of the hospital service as a qualification for the examination. Applicants must be between the ages of 22 years and 6 months and 31 years and 6 months at subjects in which they have received instruction and in their general aptitude for the military service. Application forms for examination may be obtained from the commanding officer of any military station or from the office of the Surgeon, Headquarters, Ninth Corps Area, Presidio of San Francisco. The application should be forwarded direct to the Adjutant General, Washington, D.C., and must be accompanied by evidence of citizenship. If the applicant is of foreign birth, by evidence of the required hospital internship and by certificates from at least three reputable persons as to citizenship, character and habits.
