OBSERVATIONS BY A CONTRIBUTOR UP IN MABEL'S ROOM A GOOD-HEALTH exponent says it is downright dangerous for women to wear the circular garter, those do-dads that are placed above the knee. The elastic bands, this man says, impedes the circulation of the blood, which may lead to disaster. EMPTYING THE ASH CAN Two women appeared in court, when one of them swore out a warrant for the arrest of her husband for non-support. The other woman coyly remarked that her husband, too, had run off and left her penniless. "Want him arrested?" she was asked. "Naw, let him go—he's no good, nohow," said the wife. HADN' THOUGHT OF THAT Bank robberies and holdups of mesengers carrying large payrolls are becoming so frequent that the reign of banditry has become alarming. But how are you going to stop it? However, Uncle Reuben takes a philosophical view of the situation, and allows that as money is only a medium of exchange after all, these stolen dollars get into circulation anyhow. LIMPING LUNAR It is on the cards that an agricultural college has given out the information that moon farming is pure moonshine. From time immemorial it has been said that lovers are affected by the moon, but to say that certain plant life activities are due to the dark or light of the moon is a debatable question. Again it is argued that the moon has no influence on the weather or does not cause the rains to fall. But, nevertheless, while the moon is thus hard hit, and slightly disfigured, it is still in the ring ad going strong.

It's up to the people below the Rio Grande to say whether or not they want to keep on good speaking terms with this glorious Santa Claus land. HEY, SHIFT GEARS! IN AN eastern city an innovation is being tried to stop the growing practice of petting in public places. The love-sick swain who nonchalantly puts his arm protectingly around the fair damsel is given a card which reads something like, "Please change your position in your seat." CALIFORNIA STRAIGHT AHEAD PLANT organism of less than pin-point dimensions, coupled with California's well-known salubrious climate has received credit from a famous geologist for the existence of the vast oil fields in the Southland. Innumerable billions of these microscopic plants created the oil lakes scattered under the Southern California soil. Their place in the world scheme, it is said, was to live briefly, discharge a minute drop of oil, reabsorb it as food and then to be broken up in death and to release the stored-up oil. Drop by drop, forming in basins, these microscopic plants made possible the miracle of oil and the motor age. But these tiny plants—diatoms as they are known to geologists—would have lived and died in vain were it not for the right combination of geologic and climatic circumstances in Southern California. Call it the salubrious climate; call it the air; call it what you will, the geologist said, but the fact remains that just the right shade and combination of conditions made possible the preservation of the oil from these pin-point organisms here in Southern California. OTHERWISE, THINGS ARE ALRIGHT SPEAKING of petting a rattlesnake, or flirting with cannibals in the jungle, a pal's eulogy of his dead companion in crime, whose lights were suddenly snuffed out by bullets from the police guns, is worthy of the parallel column. The dead one was an escaped convict, bandit and all 'round hombre. The praise follows: "I can't easily believe this news. It comes suddenly, and is most surprising. If it be true, then I sorrow from my heart's depths. He was a true friend, his virtues many, and of the kind anyone should respect, irrespective of his faults. Thus my regard of him cannot be measured by words. There is sweetness in the worst of men, though he was not one of them. I loved him as man loves man."

"The item of $100,000 in the present budget will provide sufficient funds for a very considerable extension of the work of building fire lanes and trails now well begun. State Assistance "The writer was called to Berkeley to confer with Governor Young prior to his induction into office to discuss state participation in the protection of forests and watershed cover, and while the state budget has not yet been submitted to the legislature, and therefore cannot be discussed, the writer feels justified in saying that when that budget is submitted he believes that it will be found that Governor Young is standing by his pre-election pledges of state assistance in the protection of timber and watershed cover. Forest Experiment Station "The work of the forest experiment station for California, made possible by an appropriation of $30,000 from the federal government, is just making a beginning. This work is in charge of E. I. Kotck of the federal forest service, who will have headquarters at Berkeley and will have field stations in Southern California and the central part of the state. "The nursery in Devil's canyon is really a separate activity from the forest experiment station, as it is not intended to use any of the $36,000 appropriation for that purpose. A fund of $3600 is being raised for this work." This money is coming largely from San Bernardino county, some of it from the counties of Riverside and Orange, and we hope for $1100 from Los Angeles county, although this has not yet been definitely arranged for. In this nursery it is intended to raise and experiment with trees for reforestation purposes and for highway planting. A competent nurseryman will be in charge, and the city water department of San Bernardino has generously furnished 20 acres of desirable land with houses and an ample supply of water for irrigation. This should be a point of interest to those who are interested in reforestation of the San Bernardino watershed. Water Conservation "It will be recalled that the water levels showed a rise during the years 1923-24-25 of 6.18 feet, notwithstanding less than normal rainfall. However, the levels began to drop early in 1926, and at the close of 1926 the water levels in the San Bernardino artesian basin, both those observed under pressure and surface wells measured to depth of water below the surface, show a lowering, excepting just one surface well which shows a rise of 2.71 feet. This, of course, is the result of the series of years of less than normal rainfall when the basin cannot be replenished either from natural flow or from water spread at the mouth of the canyon. "During the past year there were 234,215.95 inches or 9370 acre-feet of water diverted from the Santa Ana river and spread on the debris cone." One striking example of the value of spreading water was noted during the summer of 1926, when the Poole well, belonging to the Riverside Water Company, Ninth street, San Bernardino, increased from 155 inches in July to 185 inches in August, and the Scheuer well increased from 58 inches in June to 91 inches in August. The only explanation the writer is able to give of this increase is that some of the water spread during the spring of 1926 reached these wells through very open gravel strata, as the increase noted is much quicker than that noted in other wells from spreading the large amount of water in 1922. This also confirms the theory of Prof. Robert T. Hill, noted geologist, that the original course of the Santa Ana river was along the CATTLE TICKS GO Noteworthy progress in freeing southern territory from cattle ticks is reported by the United States department of agriculture, based on results to December 1, 1926. The report just compiled shows that 737 counties have been released from federal quarantine against cattle ticks since systematic eradication work began July 1, 1906. There remain in quarantine 248 entire counties and also smaller areas, chiefly individual farms, in other counties. During the last year 12 counties and parts of five counties were released from federal quarantine and 40 counties previously released in Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Texas and Virginia were entirely freed of cattle ticks. pose. There seems to be no good reason why the three counties should not have similar appropriations from the state. If this is thought advisable, a skeleton bill could be introduced providing for an appropriation as soon as we are in position to ask for the same by organizing as above suggested, but prompt action will be necessary if it is intended to get this before the legislation during the present session." Company, Ninth street, San Bernardino, increased from 155 inches in July to 185 inches in August, and the Scheuer well increased from 58 inches in June to 91 inches in August. The only explanation the writer is able to give of this increase is that some of the water spread during the spring of 1926 reached these wells through very open gravel strata, as the increase noted is much quicker than that noted in other wells from spreading the large amount of water in 1922. This also confirms the theory of Prof. Robert T. Hill, noted geologist, that the original course of the Santa Ana river was along the base of the San Bernardino mountains from the point where it debouches from the mountains westerly in what he called the 'graben.' It is likely that this water travels through that old submerged river bed. Survey Santa Ana River Watershed "Unfortunately, the report of the state engineer on the survey of the Santa Ana river watershed will not be available during the first session of the present legislature. There was some delay in the receipt of funds by the state engineer's office from the three counties which delayed the work. State Engineer Paul Bailey, in a letter dated January 8, says that the work is being pushed with all possible speed, but that reports will not be available before the adjournment of the first session of the legislature. Plans for Future "It is now necessary to decide whether the present organization will suffice or whether the three counties will prepare for a larger organization for conservation and flood control by amending the Conservatory Act of 1919 which was compiled for this purpose, or whether it would be advisable to attempt to secure the passage of a new act which would enable the three counties to form a more comprehensive organization. In discussing this matter with Senator Swing before he went to Sacramento, the senator stated that he thought it might be advisable to pattern an organization on the Palo Verde Irrigation District Act which passed the legislature in 1923. Whether it would be advisable to have the Conservancy Act of 1919 amended so as to eliminate the objectionable features or to have a new act prepared and passed at the present session of the legislature is a question which should have very careful consideration and prompt action. State appropriation for flood control and conservation is another question which should be decided immediately. It will be remembered that Los Angeles county has had very large appropriations from the state, installments of which are still being used for flood control in that county, and that the Sacramento river has had large appropriations for the same pur- Patterson’s --Satisfaction!
