OBSERVATIONS BY A CONTRIBUTOR PUT NEWS IN NEWPORT "Many people of northern Orange county do not realize that they have the best natural harbor in the world right here at Newport," said a seafaring man the other day. "The building of another breakwater, or jetty, east of the one now there would serve to keep the channel open; in other words, it would scour itself out." The cost of this preliminary work is problematical, although the man quoted here says a million and a half dollars would be ample to build the jetty and do the dredging. As conditions now exist at Newport, the swirl of sand keeps the channel clogged. With the construction of the new east jetty, this sand would naturally fill in on the extreme eastern side and create a solid foundation. At present, at the mouth of the channel, there is a stretch of about 90 feet of sand, extending seaward, that would also clear itself, were the additional jetty built as indicated. In the harbor proper water is of a depth ranging from 25 to 70 feet, and dredging there would be necessary. The water extends inland for several miles, thus affording one of the most natural still water harbors in the world, and is only awaiting the hand of man to make it available for safe anchorage for the biggest ships that float. As a submarine base the land-locked harbor at Newport is unexcelled. THINGS ARE LOOKING UP Both business and agricultural conditions in Southern California are good, according to official reports. The citrus and vegetable industries are enjoying especially strong markets, and improvement in retail lines is particularly encouraging. Now, if people will live within their means and refrain from indulging in luxuries, the good old ship of state will sail on and on. GATHER AROUND, BOYS An item appeared in the paper the other day that drew the spotlight. It said that two big brewery companies have been given the privilege to manufacture a malt liquor containing 3.75 per cent of alcohol by volume, with 25 per cent malt solids. These permits are said to run six months, with the proviso that the brewer will aid the prohibition forces to prevent sale of GATHER AROUND, BOYS AN ITEM appeared in the paper the other day that drew the spotlight. It said that two big brewery companies have been given the privilege to manufacture a malt liquor containing 3.75 per cent of alcohol by volume, with 25 per cent malt solids. These permits are said to run six months, with the proviso that the brewers will aid the prohibition forces to prevent sale of the malt for beverage purposes. It is on the cards that the new malt will carry a kick. It is to be sold through drug stores as a tonic, but not as a beverage; and while it is palatable, it is not potable. Experts say, owing to the solids, a fellow, in order to secure a souse, may have to bowl over a barrel. But a man who has tackled it says there is no use to get excited, as the malt really is a meal and has no authority to make the drinker dance. AN EYE FOR AN EYE THE revival of the whipping post in Delaware has had a tendency to considerably reduce rates on holdup and burglary insurance. Rigid law enforcement also has a wholesome effect in holding crime in check. TWISTING THE TIGER'S TAIL IT IS estimated that 3000 people went by railway to Mexico, a couple of Sundays ago, to see the horse race and the brass rail, while no one really knows how many others gassed the flivver and flitted over the line on that day. It was the big final day of sports. Thousands of dollars were left there, which no doubt could have been used to better advantage here. Of course, lots of people crave excitement and must have it at any cost, and many come back poorer but wiser and with an awful headache. SAFETY FIRST JUST why so many American citizens go down below the Rio Grande is past finding out. Ninety-five per cent of these people no doubt go down over the line to quench a thirst, while others migrate as curiosity-seekers. Very often some of them get into trouble, some meet death, while many receive the double-cross. Best way would be to stay away. Many lose their bank rolls in gambling dens and come back whining about their bad luck. Millions of dollars annually are left there which could do lots of good here if used right. Yes, better stay on this side and play safe. KNOWS HER BUSINESS A YOUNG lady out of the bleak Northwest is suing a physician for one hundred thousand cartwheels for alleged disfiguration of her nose. The young miss sought out the facial plastic surgeon and wanted her nose remodeled, because as it was the organ interfered with her matrimonial possibilities and successful marriage; besides it hampered her in seeking employment and upset her saxophone lessons. The maiden alleges she is worse off now than ever, and she is not stuck up either. LEST WE FORGET! A YOUNG lady out of the bleak Northwest is suing a physician for one hundred thousand cartwheels for alleged disfiguration of her nose.

The maiden alleges she is worse off now than ever, and she is not stuck up either. LEST WE FORGET! YOU can see in the paper where it says, be it ever so humble, no California brooklet can be wantonly robbed of its current. So the Women's Home Missionary Society of Southern California conference of the Methodist-Episcopal church of Los Angeles has filed formal application with the state division of water rights for diversion of "one second foot from the gutter on the south side of Bonita avenue." The water will be used for irrigation, and those who run may read. EDDIE, YOU HUSH! FASHION decrees that the well-dressed woman may clothe herself in cob-webby material, through which the skin shows clearly, but it must be carefully tailored, according to delegates to the Fashion Art League, who met in an eastern city recently. Lingerie must match the outer garment and plain pink or peach-colored "teddies" are now as old-fashioned as the pants-lettes of earlier days. The one-piece gown, which has been in favor for a long time, must relinquish the throne. Every street costume must have velvet on it somewhere. In many instances the velvet note is supplied by the wearing of a velvet tuxedo, made just like a man's. These may be worn in any color and over any kind of frock, but they must be of velvet. FROM FRYING PAN INTO FIRE THEY say that the early closing of the gate at Tijuana has increased the jags among the hombres who hurry back in their cars. Before, the guys stood up against the brass rails and leisurely put 'em under their belts and passed muster. Now, in their haste to upholster the inner linings, the birds gulp down a whole lot of 'em in quick succession, and become lit up to beat the band and then spill over. When these fellows essay to pilot their flivvers over the highways and byways, endangering others' lives with their unsteady grips, they get knocked by the speed cops for a row of R. S. V. P.'s, cluttering up the courts, and its just one darned thing after another.
