Wise and Otherwise By VADNEY Prehistoric Arizona Culture The recent discovery of a cache of prehistoric mosaic work in the Casa Grande national monument, Arizona, the first of its kind reported in the Southwest, was announced last week at the Interior Department. The mosaics, which were brought to light during repairs to the walls of the ruin of Casa Grande, show that the artisanship of the prehistoric people of this region was the equal of any other southwestern culture. They are said to resemble closely the mosaics of modern times in beauty of design and workmanship. Three pieces were found, two of them in the form of birds and the third representing a turtle. The largest bird is the best preserved. It was made on a wooden core, with the mosaics placed in the wax. Each bit of stone had been worked out in a pyramidal shape, and 492 stones were used in the figure of the bird, which measured about 4½ inches from wingtip to wing-tip, with a large piece of red shell in the center as a contrasting motif. The turtle figure is composed of 1129 stones. Viva La Mode— Any Old Mode So far as we are concerned, they may shorten skirts, curl eyelashes and touch up their ears with red, and our peace of mind will be undisturbed. They can also wear rings in their noses and bells on their toes and we will be grateful for the lingling warn- an excessive price for the rescue of a nation of 65,000,000 people. A much smaller loan to Babe would be enough to avert the economic and moral prostration of a nation of 115,000,000 people. Too Late— Much Too Late Now that it is theoretically too late to be of any use to America, Drs. T. F. Hunter and S. G. Mudd of Boston have invented a machine for sobering up intoxicated persons. They have been experimenting for some time with oxygen and carbon dioxide gas. The Budd-Hunter duo has been able to resuscitate patients unconscious from alcohol—a condition formerly described as ossified, boiled, stewed, pickled, soused, etc.—in about 10 minutes, and lesser degrees of intoxication in still quicker time. A test was made recently in a laboratory in Boston in which a volunteer was found who agreed to sacrifice himself to science. He drank good whisky, gradually getting drunker and drunker, while the experimenters took tests of his blood. When the new gas was used, the amount of alcohol in the subject's blood dropped 50 per cent. Another experiment was made on Boston scofflaw, who, after giving three policemen a terrific battle, suddenly passed out. Ten minutes after receiving the gas he came out of his coma, sober and remorseful, and according to the report, "swore off." On the following day he said he felt better than usual. What a blessing this invention would have been to the liquor-loving gentry in pre-Volstead days! Viva La Mode—Any Old Mode So far as we are concerned, they may shorten skirts, curl eyelashes and touch up their ears with red, and our peace of mind will be undisturbed. They can also wear rings in their noses and bells on their tees and we will be grateful for the jingling warning and take our place on the sidewalk with the other "gobe-mouches." If you don't happen to know what a "gobe-mouche" is, inquire of any Rotarian. It is said to be in current use at their sessions, together with "alouette" and "silhouette and, we suppose, "pirouette," but not "giroulette." The plain fact is that woman makers the fashions and unmakes them in the sight of God and man, but especially of man. It is entirely probable that in any Adamless Eden the women would be frumps and go down-at-heel. We are, therefore, everlastingly grateful to any milliner, or man-cilliner to any Louise or Poiret of them all. It has been our experience that no fashion is an ugly fashion while it is in vogue, no extreme sufficiently extreme while it is the mode, and that the only unpardonable sin is not to be up-to-the-minute. Viva la mode, say we, any old mode: Fluctuation in Food Prices A few weeks ago a public dinner was held in New York City at which the cover charge was $100 a plate. In a few days there is to be another dinner in an eastern city at which the cover charge will be $1000 a plate. However, before rushing into print on the decline and fall of the American republic, the commentator should pause to recall that the $100 dinner was in behalf of a charity federation and that the $1000 dinner is in behalf of a $5,000,000 theological seminary. There is more than one road to service—as there is to truth. We have had 20-cent dinners in behalf of the "invisible guests," of starving Europe, and equally meagre golden rule dinners in behalf of American charities. But the record for de luxe banqueting goes to Poland, where Premier Grabski gave a dinner the other day in celebration of the recent floating of a $50,000,000 American loan to Poland.

Forster, et al., to vacate and abandon those certain streets and alleys, in the Fifth road district, was granted. W. K. Hillyard, county surveyor, was authorized to grant B. R. Ford, contractor, an extension of time of 50 days in which to complete the contract for the improving St. Andrews and St. Gertrude streets. It was ordered that the electrical work at the county jail be accepted is completed by A. E. Prink, contractor. It was ordered that the assessment covered by tax notice No. 7859, and covered by sale No. 681 be cancelled for reason that this church property is used solely and exclusively for church property. Deed for right-of-way from Clara I Chapman, et al. in the Third road district was accepted and declared a public highway. Deed for right-of-way from S. P. Kraemer, et al. in the Third road district was accepted and declared a public highway. It was ordered that the dance hall license, applied for by E. Hertel, at Orana, be denied. The county auditor was directed to transfer $2000 from the county general fund to the harbor fund. The chairman and clerk were authorized to sign an option to purchase 160 acres of land from the Irvine Company. The county auditor was authorized to draw a warrant in favor of the Irvine Company for $100, payable out of the county general fund as payment on said option. Diamond school district bonds, in the sum of $19,000 were ordered issued. Blds for said bonds will be opened April 14, 1925, at 11 a.m. Notice to be given by publication in the Santa Ana Daily Evening Register.

The reports are strenuously denied by the Babe's friends. Yet it is obvious that as long as the slightest uncertainty concerning the situation persists, the American people are threatened with grave economic and moral demoralization. The opening of the baseball season is less than a month away. But we may take it that already millions of American citizens have lifted their hands from the plow, the axe, the hammer and the ticker tape to debate what will happen to the Sultan of Swat. If uncertainty persists after the opening of the season, we may expect chaos; spring crops will not be planted, steel beams will remain suspended in the air, red hot rivets will fall from relaxed fingers and the Christmas magazines will not go to press while the country wonders and mourns over the bombino. The German people nearly went to pieces in dread of an unknown fate. The same monace must not be allowed to hang over the heads of the American people. Babe Ruth's capacity to pay must be ascertained. And if the facts turn out to be disconcerting, the government's duty is plain. A quarter billion dollar loan to Germany has been regarded as not AMERICAN FOREST WEEK In proclaiming American Forest Week, I desire to bring to the attention of all our people the danger that comes from the neglect of our forests. For several years the nation has observed Forest Protection Week. It is fitting that this observance be enlarged. We have too freely spent the rich and magnificent gift that nature bestowed on us. In our eagerness to use that gift we have stripped our forests; we have permitted fires to lay waste and devour them; we have all too often destroyed the young growth and the seed from which new forests might spring. And though we already feel the first grip of timber shortage, we have barely begun to save and restore. We have passed the pioneer stage and are no longer excusable for continuing this unwise dissipation of a great resource. To the nation it means the lack of an elemental necessity and the waste of keeping idle or only partly productive nearly one-fourth of our soil. To our forest-using industries it means unstable investments, the depletion of forest capital, the disbanding of established enterprises, and the decline of one of our most important industrial groups. Our forests ought to be put to work and kept at work. I do not minimize the obstacles that have to be met, nor nor the difficulty of changing old ANAHEIM GAZETTE rescue of A much more enough rural pros5,000,000 too late lars. T. P.

We must all put our hands to this common task. It is not enough that the federal, state and local governments take the land. There must be a change in our national attitude. Our industries, our landowners, our farmers, all our citizens must learn to treat our forests as crops, to be used but also to be renewed. We must learn to tend our woodlands as carefully as we tend our farms. Let us apply to this creative task the boundless energy and skill we have so long spent in harvesting the free gifts of nature. The forests of the future must be started today. Our children are dependent on our course. We are bound by a solemn obligation from which no evasion and no subterfuge will relieve us. Unless we fulfill our sacred responsibility to unborn generations, unless we use with gratitude and with respect the generous and kindly gifts of Divine Providence, we shall prove ourselves unworthy guardians of a heritage we hold in trust. Now, Therefore, I, Calvin Coolidge, President of the United States, do recommend to the governors of the various states to designate and set apart the week of April 27-May 3, inclusive, 1925, as American Forest Week, and, wherever practicable and not in conflict with state law or accepted customs, to celebrate Arbor Day within that week. And I urge public officials, public and business associations, industrial leaders, forest owners, editors, educators, and all patriotic citizens to unite in the common task of forest conservation and renewal. In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed throughout the country to the effect that California was enacting a law which in its application would put a tax on tourists, non-residents and tax property now exempt from taxation. The facts are exactly the reverse. It is anticipated that countless tourists and those people now living in California who have not acquired legal residence will now do so and reap the advantages of the new tax, which is more just than that of any state in the Union. "The enactment of this law is in sense an exemption from taxation of any form of property. It simply corrects an unfortunate condition of double taxation. It assesses intangible property at a rate that it will bear the same proportion of ultimate tax that real property now bears." AGRICULTURAL CONFERENCE Several important recommendations on administration of federal departments and agencies related to agriculture have been made by the agricultural conference called by President Coolidge, according to word received from Ralph P. Merritt by the California Development Association. One of the recommendations is that in all branches of government the service function and the regulatory function be separated as completely as possible, in organization, personnel and action. Another recommendation is for the establishment of an interdepartmental agency to promote co-ordination in the assemblying and use of government information. More positive steps were urged for the federal farm loan board to open to the livestock industry more reasonable lines of direction signs in the English language. "The bill further provides that the division may refuse to grant a license until the applicant has submitted to an examination and prescribes the tests required in such examinations." PLAN ON FOOT TO SPLIT COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES Prepare Program to Form New County With Long Beach as Seat By WALTER P. JONES Before the forty-fifth session of the legislature passes into history there is every indication that a fight will develop to divide Los Angeles county for the purpose of establishing a new county in California with Long Beach as its seat. It would be known as the city and county of Long Beach. Information leaked out today that a leading member of the Los Angeles county delegation, possibly Speaker Frank Merriam of Long Beach, will introduce a bill in the legislation to pave the way for the formation of the new county in the south. It is understood that the preparations have been completed for the introduction of the measures, and if pressure from Los Angeles does not interfere with the plans, the bills will be introduced the early part of the next week. Speaker Merriam, whose district embraces the city of Long Beach, says he is not at liberty to discuss the program for the division of Los Angeles county, but he would not deny that such a plan will be urged for passage. To work out the new county scheme two things will be proposed. First, amendments will be offered to change the law prohibiting the creation of a net county boundary line within five Week, and, wherever practicable and not in conflict with state law or accepted customs, to celebrate Arbor Day within that week. And I urge public officials, public and business associations, industrial leaders, forest owners, editors, educators, and all patriotic citizens to unite in the common task of forest conservation and renewal. In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the City of Washington this twenty-first day of February, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and forty-ninth. (Signed) CALVIN COOLIDGE. AN ACCOMPLISHED FACT Residents of California and those who henceforth become residents will now enjoy a square tax deal on all their intangible property at the next assessment period, March 1, 1926. Governor Richardson Friday signed the Breed-West bill recently passed by the legislature pursuant to a constitutional amendment known as measure No. 9 adopted by a vote of the people November 4 last. The act is commonly known as covering "foreign" securities and solvent credits. The new law provides that all notes, debentures, shares of capital stock, bonds, mortgages or deeds of trust based upon property outside of California and all solvent credits based upon property outside of or within the state shall be assessed to residents of California at 7 per cent of the full cash value thereof, instead of 100 per cent of the full cash value as the law formerly stood. Under the new law a person who owns $1000 worth of stocks or bonds in a New York corporation, for example, or a $1000 mortgage on Iowa property and who is a resident of California or hereafter becomes such a resident, will pay the prevailing county tax rate on only a $70 valuation instead of on a $1000 valuation as heretofore. The new tax rate will average, taking into consideration the existing rates in all counties, a little less than 5 mills on the dollar. It is estimated by the state board of equalization that there is $5,000,000 worth of such property concealed within the state, much of which under the new law will be voluntarily declared for taxation, thereby augmenting branches of government the service function and the regulatory function be separated as completely as possible, in organization, personnel and action. Another recommendation is for the establishment of an interdepartmental agency to promote co-ordination in the assemblying and use of government information. More positive steps were urged for the federal farm loan board to open to the livestock industry more reasonable lines of credit. The conference concludes in the suggestion that the President should urge upon the secretary of agriculture recognition of the necessity of increased activity and vigilance to prevent the spread of diseases and pests. It was the sentiment of the conference that problems coming before the Interstate Commerce Commission are so closely allied with marketing that such work on behalf of the farmer should be undertaken by the federal co-operative marketing board, as proposed in a preliminary report. The conference expressed the opinion that the leased wire of the Market News Service of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics should link up all important producing and marketing centers, if it is to operate with complete efficiency. California was particularly honored by appointments by the President of two of the nine members of the conference from California, Fred H. Bixby and Ralph P. Merritt, being directors of the California Development Association. WEDING OUT INCOMPETENTS The weeding out of incompetent careless and physically defective drivers of automobiles in California is proposed in a bill which Senator Arthur Breed, Piedmont, has introduced in the legislature. The bill was sent from the senate committee with a recommendation "do pass." The bill, in brief, provides that applicants for operators' licenses must be able to prove to the satisfaction of officials of the Division of Motor Vehicles that they have sufficient knowledge of driving to enable them to handle a car on the highways without menacing the lives of others and that they have no physical defects of such nature as to incapacitate them for driving. Will H. Marsh, chief of the division, announced today he had examined the measure and was prepared to give it be introduced the early part of the next week. Speaker Merriam, whose district embraces the city of Long Beach, says he is not at liberty to discuss the program for the division of Los Angeles county, but he would not deny that such a plan will be urged for passage. To work out the new county scheme two things will be proposed. First, amendments will be offered to change the law prohibiting the creation of a net county boundary line within five miles of an incorporated city. Second, a constitutional amendment will be presented to eliminate the provision which prevents any county having less than 200,000 population from organizing under a combined city and county administration. Another interesting angle of the program is that Los Angeles county as a whole would be denied the right to vote on the question of county division. Only the electors living in the territory which would be separated to form the new county would be permitted to vote on the proposition. The proposal to divide Los Angeles county grows out of the movement to form a Los Angeles-Long Beach harbor as is proposed in the municipal port district bill introduced by members of the Los Angeles delegation at the request of the greater harbor committee of the two cities. Both cities are battling for control of the harbor. A joint hearing on the port district measure will be held Monday night before the commerce and navigation committees of the Senate and Assembly and a large delegation of Los Angeles county people will be on hand to have their say. The county division plan may crop out at the hearing. Strawberries from Brawley, Imperial county, have been bringing $5 a box in Los Angeles. The Central Union high school, El Centro, Imperial county, has added 12 acres to the campus. a resident, will pay the prevailing county tax rate on only a $70 valuation instead of on a $1000 valuation as heretofore. The new tax rate will average, taking into consideration the existing rates in all counties, a little less than 5 mills on the dollar. It is estimated by the state board of equalization that there is $5,000,000-000 worth of such property concealed within the state, much of which under the new law will be voluntarily declared for taxation, thereby augmenting the municipal and county revenues by several million dollars with the consequent relieving that much of the burden on other classes of property. The board further estimates from the board further estimates, from the has received, that thousands of people living in California who have avoided establishing their legal residence in the state because of the double taxation on intangible property will now become residents of California, identify themselves with its community life and add immeasurably to its civic and economic upbuilding. The constitutional amendment and the legislation bringing about the new tax rate was initiated by the California Taxation Improvement Association, whose principal office is in the Pacific Mutual building, Los Angeles. Practically all state and county officials concerned with revenue and taxation have been identified with the movement bringing about the abatement of this long standing injustice. The San Francisco and the Los Angeles Chambers of Commerce, the Assessors' State Association and the business groups generally throughout the state were active in behalf of the new law. The secretary of the California Taxation Improvement Association says: "The enactment of this law once and for all dispels the false propaganda and distorted version relative to the law which has been spread plicants for operators' licenses must be able to prove to the satisfaction of officials of the Division of Motor Vehicles that they have sufficient knowledge of driving to enable them to handle a car on the highways without menacing the lives of others and that they have no physical defects of such nature as to incapacitate them for driving. Will H. Marsh, chief of the division, announced today he had examined the measure and was prepared to give it unqualified approval. He said: "I hope the legislature passes this bill. It is not as strong as I desired, but it is a step in the right direction and will go a long way toward insuring safety on the highways. "Anyone may secure an operator's license at the present; all that is required is the age and a personal description. Senate bill No. 699 requires the applicant to state his qualifications, condition of his sight and hearing, whether he has normal use of both hands and feet or is afflicted with paralysis, epilepsy, insanity or other disability that would preclude him from exercising a reasonable control over a motor vehicle.
