IMPORTANT DUTIES OF A FOREST RANGER The forest ranger is the "keyman" of the United States Forest Service. In contact with the local public and responsible for a forest area of from 50,000 to 300,000 acres, he transacts much of the business of the service on the ground. His work is varied and interesting. It may include timber sale work, such as cruising, scaling, marking and enforcement of forestry provisions; regulating the use of forest range by sheep and cattle which the stockmen bring into the national forests under permit; laying out and building trails, bridges, telephone lines, lookout houses and other forest improvements; surveying, and compiling the data for necessary reports and statistics. More important than any of these lines of work is the duty of protecting his part of the forest from fire. He must plan for his fire season with all the care of a general going into battle. He must have his men, tools and supplies organized, and know where he can get reinforcements; see that his lookout and patrol system is effective, and start for any forest fire in his district, day or night, and see that it is immediately fought. He tries to keep forest fires from starting by showing the public how to be careful with fire, and by securing the help of his local community. The forest ranger must be a good woodsman and know how to use the tools of a woodsman. He has to know how to pack supplies, sometimes on a horse, sometimes on his own back, and give first aid to injured firefighters. He must have good mental and physical health and be able to "rough it." By reason of what he has accomplished of the condemnation proceedings of John Pfeninger, et al. Petition was presented and filed in the matter of application for formation of Laguna Beach Highway Lighting District. Hearing set for April 28, 1925, at 10 a.m. An ordinance was adopted regulating tent shows in Orange county, outside of incorporated towns or cities, providing for a license fee therefor and fixing a penalty for violation thereof. COOLIDGE WILL STUDY DURING HIS VACATION Announcement has already been made that President Coolidge will spend a considerable part of the summer in New England. It is not expected by his friends here, however, that this will be entirely in the way of a vacation, as most people use the word. For it is known that the President intends to utilize this time away from Washington, undisturbed by the statesmen and the politicians, in the studying of the big problems which will confront the administration during the next session of congress. These problems will include, among others, further reduction of income taxes and the revision of the revenue laws, the world court and further reduction of world armament, and the railroad situation. Nothing further, of course, can be done about the world court issue until some action is taken by the senate. The President, of course, could call a conference of world powers to discuss the further reduction of armaments, whenever he considered the time favorable. Just when this will be, no prophet, of course can tell.

T. Davies, et al., to vacate and abandon a portion of a public road located in the Third Road District was granted. B. R. Ford, contractor, was awarded the contract for the grading and graveling of portions of Ball road, Walker street and Orange avenue, in the Third Road District, at a price of $24,028.68. B. R. Ford, contractor, was awarded the contract for the grading and graveling of Glen avenue from First street south to Newport Beach road, in the Fifth Road District, at a price of $491.00. E. R. Abbey was granted a five days' leave of absence from the state, commencing April 3, 1925. A resolution was adopted resolving that the new jail building situated on Sycamore street, in the city of Santa Ana, opposite the court house of said county be, and the same is, hereby designated as the jail of Orange county. A resolution was adopted in the matter of Road District Improvement No. 31, fixing April 7, 1925, at 11 a.m. for final hearing in said matter. Pool room licenses were ordered issued to Joe Anderson and M. Flores. Cancellation of assessment on Tax Statement No. 21794, volume 17, page 163, assessed to George A. Cooper, et al., on Lots 1 and 3, Block E, Garfield Street Addition, was ordered. It was ordered that Tax Sale No. 651, Tax Sale No. 566 and 567, and Tax Sale No. 97 be canceled. Steele Finley, contractor, was granted a 30 days' extension of time in which to complete the contract in the matter of Road District Improvement No. 40. Los Angeles Paving Company, con- aws, the world court and further reduction of world armament, and the railroad situation. Nothing further, of course, can be done about the world court issue until some action is taken by the Senate. The President, of course, could call a conference of world powers to discuss the further reduction of armaments, whenever he considered the time favorable. Just when this will be, no prophet, of course can tell. It is known, however, that the President is keeping in close touch with the European situation through the state department. It now seems pretty certain, however, that there will be a big surplus of revenues next year, and that another cut in the income tax will be made. It is believed that the heaviest cut will be in the surtaxes, but that there will be a general reduction of taxes all along the line. THE GASOLINE TAX Fear that highway development in California will stop unless the gasoline tax is raised apparently is without foundation, according to figures coming from Sacramento. These indicate that the state will have some $60,000,000 to $70,000,000 to spend on roads in the next biennial period without any increase in taxes. The sums available include $45,000,000 that will be collected on motor vehicle taxes; $8,000,000 that is now operating contracts; $12,000,000 in new construction work by counties and road districts; $2,000,000 to be spent by the forest service, and $1,-500,000 on the national park highways, total of approximately $68,000,000 in highways during the next two years. If this is not enough, more should usually be available, as it is indicated that the state will have a surplus of $22,000,000 in the general fund, part of which could be diverted to highway construction purposes. With these figures before them, the motorists of California are flocking to support the attitude of the Automobile Club of Southern California in objecting to further taxation of the motorist whose taxes were raised over 100 per cent last year. EXAMS FOR OFFICERS An examination of applicants for appointment as first lieutenants, medical corps, regular army, will be held in the Ninth Corps Area from May 4 Statement No. 21794, volume 17, page 163, assessed to George A.

EXAMS FOR OFFICERS An examination of applicants for appointment as first lieutenants, medical corps, regular army, will be held in the Ninth Corps Area from May 4 to 8, inclusive. Interested readers should apply to Colonel E. L. Munson, Medical Corps, Office of the Surgeon, Ninth Corps Area Headquarters, Presidio of San Francisco, Calif., for full information as to the scope of the examination and rules for eligibility. Applicants must be male citizens of the United States, between the ages of 23 and 32 years. They must be graduates of acceptable medical schools legally authorized to confer the degree of Doctor of Medicine; have had at least one year's hospital training subsequent to completion of medical school four years' course; or have served one year as a medical officer of the United States Army, between April 6, 1917, and July 1, 1919. Former officers of the medical department of the regular army are eligible, if within the age limits, and provided their efficiency ratings at the time of separation from the service were "above average." The mental examination will be written and will include anatomy, physiology, and histology, materia medica and therapeutics, surgery, practice of medicine and obstetrics and gynecology. Proficiency in English grammar, ortography and composition will be determined by the examination papers. Only licentiates of the National Board of Medical Examiners will be exempted from the preliminary pro- ANAHEIM GAZETTE professional examination, and these must present to the board written evidence of their status as such. The board will consider and take final action upon claims for exemptions. Application for the examination must be made on a form, which may be obtained from the commanding officer of any military station. The information given in the application must include names of medical schools attended, date of graduation, postgraduate work completed, time spent in practice of medicine, and a complete statement of military service, if any. Qualified physicians who are now serving as interns in hospitals, but who have not completed the fifth, or intern year, required by regulations, may take the examination at the scheduled time. These, if found proficient, would have to continue their hospital work until the completion of the required post graduate year, when they would be appointed in the medical corps of the regular army. WHEELER INDICTED United States Senator Burton K. Wheeler, recent candidate for vice-president on the Third Party Socialist ticket, has been indicted in Washington by a special grand jury on a charge of conspiracy. The charges of conspiracy are that Wheeler conspired to obtain illegal use and possession of public domain of the United States in Montana, for the purpose of prospecting for oil and gas. The indictment, which consisted of 9 typewritten pages, charged that from April 1, 1920, to January, 1924, the accused entered into conspiracy to defraud the United States out of the use and possession of 10,000 acres COMMON SENSE FACTS A merchant doesn't spend his money for advertising merely to see his name in print. He is too much of a business man to part with his dollars unless there is a good prospect of obtaining a legitimate return upon his investment. He doesn't advertise goods that he can't recommend, because he knows that you can't fool all of the people all of the time, and that such a policy would eventually put him out of business. He doesn't gouge his customers, because he knows that they would soon go elsewhere and buy for less money, and that would be the end of him. It is reasonable to presume, then, that when he does advertise an article, that article is worth having and the price is within reason. When you buy from a local merchant, that merchant's reputation for square dealing is behind the goods you buy. Keep these common sense facts in mind when you go to buy and make the advertisements your guide, and you will make no mistake. IDLE FOREST LAND There are about eighty million acres of idle forest land in the United States that should be at work. Eighty million acres of idle forest land comes into being every year through man-caused forest fires. It is plain where this would lead to without a fixed forestry policy that will build up our timber at least in small proportion to the rate at which it is being reduced. This is the purpose of the annual observance of American Forest Week, which President Coolidge has proclaimed for April 27 to May 3. It is reported that German political parties will pattern their campaign after those of America. The first thing to do then is to get somebody to start wild stories about the other fellows' war chest. Ex-President Millerand has come out in favor of France's severing relations with soviet Russia. Evidence continues to accumulate that the French pact with the bolsheviks has not brought them any considerable joy or satisfaction. 3 Reasons Why You should have your automobile refinished in LACQUER 3 Reasons Why You should have your automobile refinished in LACQUER 1.

"This denies the employment of troops for the purpose of forest fire fighting when civilian labor is available. The regular army, as always heretofore, is prepared to render promptly every possible aid and assistance within legal limits in the event of national or state disasters." That the use of army airplanes in forest fire patrol may hamper the development of commercial aviation, which is considered an important factor in national defense, is also pointed out by the war department. To grant all the requests made for the use of troops would defeat the purpose of the National Defense act and seriously interfere with the efficiency of the regular army. Under the law the regular army is charged with certain specific duties, the principal ones of which are the training of itself and the other components of the army of the United States. These duties are held to be sufficiently comprehensive to engage its entire time, especially during seasons when outdoor training is held, and compliance with calls for service such as fire fighting, which are made most frequently at these times, would interfere seriously with training plans. Under the new policy each specific request for troops for emergency service will be considered on its merits and, in the event that such request is granted, the department or other civilian agency will be required to reimburse the war department for the expenses incurred by the troops in their service.
