Americans Keep in Touch With Phone Calls Outnumber Even Total of 13,000,000,000 Letters More contacts with the people of the nation are made through the telephone than through any other institution or agency. In the course of a year more than 20,500,000,000 messages, including nearly 650,000,000 toll messages, are sent over the wires of the telephone companies of the United States. This is an average of over one conversation daily for every two persons, men, women or children, in the country. The institution which ranks next in point of number of contacts is the federal postoffice, which, during the same period, handled more than 13,000,000,000 pieces of first class mail matter. The number of letters and post cards per capita sent during a single year in the United States is 118.5, while the number of telephone conversations in the same period amounts to 184.5 per capita. In no other country are either the postal facilities or the telephone used to any such extent. In Great Britain 73.7 letters per capita were sent during the latest year for which figures are available, or 3,340,000,000 letters, but Great Britain used the telephone to the Warns Applicants For Driver’s License Persons who have made application for driver’s licenses through the Orange county traffic bureau and who have failed to report for examination at the time they were told to appear may not get driver’s licenses at all, it was indicated by Capt. Henry S. Warner. More than 60 applicants were told to report for examination at the squad headquarters in the courthouse building last Thursday, but approximately 30 of these did not appear. Captain Warner stated that he would give the delinquents until Thursday to report for examination. After which time he will send the blank applications to Sacramento without reports of examination. "It will then be up to the state department to determine how these would-be drivers may obtain a license." Warner stated. "We are too busy to run down these applicants when we want to give them their examination, and if they choose not to come in at the time set, they will have to take the chance of not receiving their licenses." Thursday is the day set each week for examination. On this day all motor officers are in the city and ready to serve the public. Big Crops Reported Back from Mexico and Dr. Conrae Newport Bermann republican parliament. The court lutions, landlord among Mexico is given huge chase from the people of Mexican rebellion. These observations ground to government taining into During Richter and City and o see the civilization. In Mexico President O'erment of Since getting the reaction from the American newspapers, M. Caillaux is inclined to believe that his agreement with Great Britain on the debt problem was just a little joke. In no other country are either the postal facilities or the telephone used to any such extent. In Great Britain 73.7 letters per capita were sent during the latest year for which figures are available, or 3,340,000,000 letters, but Great Britain used the telephone to the extent of only 20.4 conversations per capita or 924,906,000 for the entire year. Evidently the British have not learned as yet to depend upon the telephone as we have here in this country. Other foreign countries, even such highly industrialized nations as Germany and Belgium, have not begun to appreciate the benefits to be derived from the telephone. In a single recent year Belgium wrote 47.7 letters per capita during the year and held only 16.6 per capita telephone conversations, while in Italy, according to latest figures available, 13.5 letters per capita, and 8.9 telephone conversations, and in Switzerland 56.7 letters and 34.6 telephone conversations are recorded. On the other hand, the people of the Netherlands talk more than they write. During 1923, the last year for which the statistics have been compiled, there were 318,257,000 conversations by telephone in the Netherlands, or 44.5 per capita, while the subjects of Queen Wilhelmina wrote only 237,015,008 or 33.1 letters per capita. Japan also uses the telephone more than the postal facilities and for the last year for which comparative figures have been compiled, prior to the earthquake, Japan registered 1,461,457,000 telephone conversations and 939,527,000 letters, this including also unsealed letters, making the Japanese talk about 56 per cent more than they write. The way those New York Democrats are lambasting each other would indicate that they have entirely forgotten the lesson of the Democratic national convention of 1924. Don't burn the scandal at both ends. Big Crops Reported In Northern Section Bringing with him reports of excellent crops in the central and northern parts of the state, A. A. Brock, county horticultural commissioner, has returned home from a 10-day business and pleasure trip through California and Oregon points. Practically every section of this state has harvested, or is planning to harvest, bumper crops, according to Brock. Prices in most commodities are good and the farmers are feeling optimistic, the commissioner states. Brock, who was accompanied by his family, spent three days at Sacramento, where he attended several meetings of county horticultural commissioners and also visited the state fair. Several matters of importance, among them the elimination of puncture vine and red spider pests, were taken up at the commissioner's session, Brock states. An active campaign of extermination will be commenced in the counties that are particularly troubled with these pests, the commissioner declared. Orange county is bothered to some extent with puncture vine and red spider, although the matter is not serious, Brock says. Even the man who lives upright isn't likely to die in that position.

Phone 369 KENSTEIN'S Friday, Saturday, LE OF NEW COATS $38, $48 $38, $48 ENSTEINS Vast Improvement Noted in Mexico Unhealthy Place for Bandits at Present Writing Back from a month's vacation tour of Mexico and observation of conditions, Dr. Conrad Richter, city trustee of Newport Beach, reports that the southern republic is becoming stable, due to national prosperity and good government. The country has outgrown its revolutions, land problems and dissatisfaction among the peons, he said. By ready use of the firing squad, Mexico is getting rid of bandit raiders; the huge land grants are being purchased from the owners and sold back to the people in small sections, and an era of unrealized development of Mexican resources is at hand. These observations gave Dr. Richter ground to contend that the Mexican government is well on her way to attaining international respect. During the trip into Mexico, Dr. Richter and Mrs. Richter visited Mexico City and other points in the vicinity to see the relics of the ancient Aztec civilization. In Mexico City, Dr. Richter met President Callez and several other government officials. Later when he went John Barleycorn Gets Big Setback Old Indian Remedy for Snakq Bite Discovered The white "medicine men" believe they have a "lead" that may eventually mean the discovery of one of the most cherished secrets of the Navajo and Hopi Indians. For many years it has been known that these two tribes had a preparation that would cure the bites of poisonous reptiles, but so closely has it been guarded that no one has been able to learn its content. Recently a woman here discovered an old Indian medicine man digging roots in Mesa Verde park. The Indian had been a friend of hers for many years and by questioning him she learned he was digging roots to make medicine for curing snake bites. The Indian refused to show the entire plant, but he did consent to give her a piece of the root. This has been placed in the hands of the state botanist for identification. Many theories have been advanced in regard to the ability of Indians to cure those bitten by poisonous reptiles. Some authorities contend that the snakes used in the snake dances either had their fangs removed or were treated Imported In Section ports of excell and northern Brock, county has resolved time set, they chance of not set each week is all motor and ready to In Mexico City, Dr. Richter met President Calles and several other government officials. Later when he went to the province of Vera Cruz, he saw Governor Jara at Jalapa. Dr. Richter reports that the first of the country's national banks was opened September 1, just after he left Mexico to return here. This bank has been authorized to issue currency with the backing of the government treasury. Much gold was seen in circulation in Mexico. It is common, the doctor remarked, to have a 50-peso gold piece. No bandit gangs were met by Dr. Richter in his trips through the country. "I always traveled with respectable people," the doctor asserted. "The country is gradually becoming quiet and revolutions are very unlikely under the conditions now." The Mexican government had just right to tax heavily the enterprises of Americans that are taking out the resources of the country. Dr. Richter thinks. Royalalties from oil have placed the Mexican treasury on a stable basis. Protection for foreigners is assured. The recent notes exchanged between Secretary of State Kellogg and President Calles on the safety of American citizens is believed by Dr. Richter to have been arranged to establish the prestige of President Calles in Mexico. A New York man is planning to build a 65-story hotel in Manhattan. The trouble with this is that if you happened to get a room on the top floor you would be too far from the city. Men who fall in love with their stenographers find out after marriage that they can't dictate to them. NOW UNDER CONTROL Numerous inquiries have been received at the office of the county health officer from parents regarding the advisability of sending their children to school while the county is still infected with infantile paralysis. In reply to these queries, Dr. V. G. Presson, county health officer, states that the danger of contagion would be minimized by sending the children to school where they will be under the control, supervision and observance of teachers and school nurses. With the intelligent co-operation of parents, the present outbreak of infantile paralysis, numbering but 10 cases in Orange county in the last two months, has been brought under control. Dr. Presson explained. Modern flappers may only be frall crafts on the sea of life, but I've noticed the older they get the craftier they get. A. M.
