OBSERVATIONS BY A CONTRIBUTOR RUNNING NECK AND NECK A lady living here says she has a brother in one of the European countries, that was whipped in the World's War, who had $80,000 in bank when the war started in 1914. "This money was taken by his government, and he has not, and never will, get a cent back. This is a good deal like some of the stock salesmen in this country and their method of doing business, only there is no war on here, but there is likely to be some personal encounters, according to report, if some of these men happen to meet up with each other. NEXT A young man around town attempted to kid a young lady the other day by saying that bobbed hair is going out of fashion. "Say, boy, if bobbed hair is ruled off the fashion books, I'll be out of style for the rest of my life," says the short-haired fan. "Gangway, beat it, jostle aside there; you're crazy," said the fascinating little gazelle as she breezed along for a brisk morning walk. GET'S THE IDEA There awhile back an aeroplane flew over and presently a smoke screen was seen in the heavens, that which onlookers deciphered as words forming "Lucky Strike." An Englishman saw the sentence and remarked, "Bah Jove, A Fortunate Blow." JAYWALKERS BEWARE! Pedestrians are now required to cross streets at regularly marked intersections and are not permitted to hike over diagonally or zig-zag, or even criss cross. THAT WE MAY NOT FORGET Concerted action is being taken to check the wilful waste of water as now practiced by a number of gun clubs in the southwest part of the county. This extravagance is criminal in the eyes of the law and must be stopped. Water is JAYWALKERS BEWARE! Pedestrians are now required to cross streets at regularly marked intersections and are not permitted to hike over diagonally or zig-zag, or even criss cross. THAT WE MAY NOT FORGET Concerted action is being taken to check the wilful waste of water as now practiced by a number of gun clubs in the southwest part of the county. This extravagance is criminal in the eyes of the law and must be stopped. Water is needed for irrigation to raise crops and the selfishness of individuals, in promoting pleasure resorts, cannot be allowed, when this water which is wasted is sorely needed for the benefit of all the people. Check dams in the Santa Ana river also should be built, so that water could be conserved. There is no disguising the fact that we have had four years of diminished rainfall and well water is lowering as a result. Twenty inches of rain this season would go a long way toward restoring the underground supply of water. By all means let everybody use some horse sense and save the water now being wasted into the sea. CANNOT TAKE THE CHANCE The time has come in Southern California when people must call a spade a spade. This dry weather, owing to a lack of the annual rainfall, is making dry farming a thing of the past. Tillers of the soil take too many chances in depending upon nature to supply the necessary moisture to raise their crops. On the other hand any man who owns a tract of land, and has a well on his premises to furnish the water for irrigation, has something that is worth money. He would be independent. And this glorious sunshine is no doubt the greatest asset of which the Southland can boast. It is the magnet that draws people of wealth out of the frozen zones of the east. But, of course, people cannot live on air, be it ever so balmy, and this in turn makes the conservation of water a vital problem. SAVING THE ARNICA A movie shell, who draws a whole lot of newspaper publicity, and who has just been through the divorce mill, says a woman, no matter how beautiful, is not worth fighting for. HAIR PINS COMING BACK A wise man says bobbed heads will be as scarce in five years from today as they were five years ago. EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF A woman is suing her husband for divorce, alleging that when she fell out of a boat and was going down for the third time, friend husband sat in the boat disinterested, and made no effort to save her. Through the herolism of two Japanese she was rescued to tell her tale. OPPORTUNITY IS KNOCKING Cotton raised in the Imperial Valley forms the basis of industrial enterprises that can be launched here with the best ordinary oyster; he wanted something a little different. The jeweler said he had one pearl, a very rare gem, which he said was worth $10,000. After looking at the beauty the man bought it and laid down ten thousand in cold cash. Now, he said, he desired to surprise the wife, and he wanted another pearl to match the one just bought. The jeweler said he would do the best he could to match it. The mining man reassured the merchant that the price cut no figure, and to get the pearl, even though it cost $25,000 or more. Diligent inquiry was made in all the big shops in the city, but to no avail; nothing could be found to equal the one the man had purchased. The jeweler was prodded for his lack of business instincts, and again was told to get the gem—he could advertise in the papers—anyway, just so he could deliver the goods. An advertisement was then run in a big daily, and a lady living in a fashionable residential district answered. She said she thought she owned the exact pearl desired. Negotiations were commenced, at first she being offered ten thousand, then fifteen for the sparkler. The lady said the gem she had was an heirloom, but she would sell it for $25,000. The deal was closed, and after paying over the money, the jeweler lost no time in hunting up the mining man, at the hotel where he said he was staying, but he was nowhere to be found. The jeweler had bought back his own pearl, at a raise in price of $15,000. KING'S ROAD Camino Real—or the State Highway—as it is familiarly called, perhaps attracts more motorists than any boulevard in the state, or anywhere else for that matter. Being the main road from Los Angeles to San Diego, both populous cities, it is a crowded thoroughfare at all times. A bit of romance attaches to the boulevard on account of it being the original route traversed by the Franciscan Fathers. Another highway that is destined to become popular is the Coast Boulevard, intersecting the State Highway at Capistrano. These roads afford travelers much pleasure and enjoyment along the seacoast and the picturesque routes inland, and they play no small part in stimulating property values. YOU SAID IT An old-timer steps up to remark that when it rains it helps the farmers and when the tillers of the soil are prosperous everybody else enjoys nature's blessings. But if the honest farmer is hit hard and does not harvest good crops the whole works kinder gets topsy turp. Park over here, Bill, and torch ordinary oyster; he wanted something a little different.

OPPORTUNITY IS KNOCKING Cotton raised in the Imperial Valley forms the basis of industrial enterprises that can be launched here with the best prospects of success. The raw product can easily be made into staple articles, seeking markets in the east and middle west. With plenty of cheap fuel here to generate power to spin the wheels, nothing remains but the hand of man to guide them. Step up, George, let's irrigate. INVESTOR, ANAHEIM IS CALLING Anaheim is ideally located for the center of industrial enterprises, being the hub of northern Orange County. Railway facilities are excellent and cheap fuel is at our very doors. Land values are reasonable here, in locations suitable for factory sites. This city has business men of progressive ideas, and hearty cooperation with a strong pull and a long pull should land some mighty good concerns with those fascinating payrolls. LIVE LONG AND PROSPER Anaheim perhaps is the best location for home builders, to be found in Orange County. Situated midway between the mountain ranges to the north and the seacoast to the west, climatic conditions are superior to many other sections of the state. The dry desert air currents are daily tempered by the cooling breezes from the sea, making Anaheim a place in which to live that is unsurpassed in the whole Southland. Turn over Jim, you're snoring. HIST! THE BUNKO MAN A well dressed man went into a jewelery store and asked to see some pearls. By way of introduction he stated he had just made a big clean-up on a mining coal, and wanted to give the wife a little present. The obliging clerk showed him some gems, but the customer said they were too cheap looking. He did not care to buy any pearls that came out of an Boulevard, intersecting the State Highway at Capistrano.

AMERICA LAGS IN SCIENCE The meeting of the American Association for the advancement of science in Kansas City last week gave an impression of great activity in the field of science in America. Here were hundreds of men reporting the results of their investigations. Two of them in particular, Dr. Dayton C. Miller of Cleveland and Dr. Robert A. Millikan of Pasadena, told of experiments that have attracted attention in Europe and that are of immense importance to the world. Yet America is regarded by its leading scientists as not doing its share in scientific research. Dr. M. I. Pupin, the retiring president of the association, ranks the countries in the order of the importance of their research work as Germany, England, France, the United States. America, with its enormous resources and wealth, and a population double that of any of the other countries named, is still outstripped by them in fundamental work in science. One difficulty is that America is too anxious for quick results. We go to our scientists every few months and say: "Well, what have you got to improve the wheat yield?" It is a good deal as if somebody had kept calling Sir Isaac Newton on the carpet while he was working on the law of gravitation to ask him whether he had discovered a freeless cooker yet. In the long run applied science must depend for its success on the results of apparently useless scientific research. In this field is a great opportunity for such research work as Secretary Hoover is trying to establish with its 10 million dollars endowment. America ought not to lag in its contributions to the world's store of knowledge.

Either they have changed their minds, which About Your Health Things You Should Know by John Joseph Gaines, M.D. THE CHILD'S THROAT. Be very vigilant in caring for the child's throat in winter. Formaldehyde in solution is the most effective, reliable of the fumigants with which I am acquainted. In epidemics of infectious disease it is a servant of inestimable value. The case of scarlet fever demands isolation and quarantine, but the rest of the family may be protected by the judicious, timely use of formaldehyde. Kept sprinkled about the bedding, clothing and rugs, it is fatal to germs which are abroad in the air. Formaldehyde is a good defense against pneumonia, small-pox, and influenza. It should be used in forty percent solution, and its use limited to a point where it gently irritates the eyes and nasal passages. It is never used in contact being too strong, but should be carefully sprinkled about the room and breathed in with the air which it purifies. Germs that attack the throat are among the easiest to destroy, if combatted early—before they become deeply imbedded in the tissues. Even a weak solution of boracic acid is effective if used as a gargle, spray, or nasal douche at the first sign of disturbance. Babies and small children may be sprayed with a suitable atomizer for the nose and throat after trips through dust, or after attendance on winter gatherings where somebody coughs and thus sets free infectious bacteria. A good plan is to spray before going to bed and on rising, and the boracic acid solution is one of the simplest and best preventives of trouble. Court have nothing in common? Either they have changed their minds, which is doubtful, or they are as anxious to get the United States in as far as possible in the hope that another little push later on will plunge us all the way into the international morass. The moral is that we want to be sure we know where we are going before we start. NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT YET Early snow in the mountains usually melts and runs to waste before there is any opportunity to use it, so the reported shortage up to date need occasion no alarm for the coming season. It is the snow that falls in January, and later, that banks down in ice masses until the warm sun of spring and early summer starts thousands of cascades and streams pouring their tribute down to the thirsty valleys. There has been many a year in which well into January, there has been a snow shortage, but which has produced ample supplies of water before the season closed. It is from now on that the snowfall reports will be watched anxiously, as forecasts of the water supplies we may expect this year. For the mountains and hills, once counted as storehouses of the yellow dust that brought men pioneering to California, today are storehouses of wealth greater than all the gold that the old-timers panned out of the gravel, and that wealth is water. So even though we in the cities got our feet wet, a break in the cold and crystal-clear days we have enjoyed will be welcomed. For it will mean snow in the mountains, and snow in the mountains means a rich harvest from our fertile acres. An Austrian archduke says he would like to get back on the throne and the Democratic party shows signs of wanting another fight on the tariff, which proves again that some folks never get enough punishment.
