Orange County May Build Own Hospital Objects to Entry in Tri-County Tubercular Sanitorium Plan Recommendations that Orange county withdraw definitely from the tri-county (Orange, Riverside and Imperial) tuberculosis hospital building project, to have been located at Banning, and take steps looking toward the erection of a modern 100-bed sanitorium somewhere in the Santa Ana mountains in the country lying between San Juan Capistrano and Elsinore, were voiced by different speakers at a conference meeting of the Orange County Tuberculosis Association held yesterday afternoon at St. Ann's Inn. Dr. John Wehrly, president of the county association, presided over the meeting, which was attended by the following members: Mrs. C. C. Violett, Garden Grove; A. J. Crookshank, Santa Ana; Z. B. West, Jr., district attorney; Dr. V. G. Presson, county health officer; Dr. Harry D. Zaiser, superintendent of the county hospital; Mrs. J. V. Kelsey, Garden Grove, president of the county Parent-Teacher Association; Mrs. Z. B. West, Jr., Santa Ana; Rev. St. John O'Sullivan, San Juan Capistrano; William Schumacher, chairman of the county board of supervisors, and Mrs. Amelia A. Meagher, secretary of the organization. Mrs. Edith Tate-Thompson, of Fresno, director of the bureau of tuberculosis, California state board of health, and executive secretary of the California Tuberculosis Association, who had come down from the Raisin City, was the principal speaker. Mrs. Thompson carried her left arm in a sling, having sustained a slight fracture to the wrist in a traffic accident on West Fourth street, just as she arrived in the city for the meeting. She had alighted from a Santa Fe train and was trying to catch a bus, when she slipped and fell on the pavement. She was treated by Dr. Wehrly. Calling attention to the increase of tuberculosis in Orange, Riverside and Imperial counties, Mrs. Thompson urged that definite action be taken by the Orange county authorities. From 1920 to 1925, she said, there were not A remarkable demonstration of the increased power developed in an automobile engine by Union Ethyl gasoline over the ordinary type of motor fuel has just been completed at Los Angeles, using a 35 per cent grade as the basis of the test. Because of the steepness of the grade, the Automobile Club of Southern California has caused to be posted a sign which warns motorists not to attempt the hill. The purpose of the test, according to its sponsors, was to determine if a machine, with generous carbon accumulations in the engine, and which because of this, could not make the climb using ordinary gasoline, could negotiate it with Union Ethyl. Accordingly, two hill-climbing tests were made, the same car being used in each. Standing starts were made and the car run in low gear. In the first test, the ordinary type of gasoline was put in the tank and the car sent on its way up the hill, which is approximately 300 yards long. At a point about 250 yards from the bottom of the hill, the engine commenced to labor and "knock" and finally coughed its last after traveling a few more yards.

Sponsors of the motorists seldom negotiate grades knowledge that Ur reserve power while from ordinary gasoline forcing to those trips this summer knowledge, the ya accidents have had the lack of that when climbing stee Calling attention to the increase of tuberculosis in Orange, Riverside and Imperial counties, Mrs. Thompson urged that definite action be taken by the Orange county authorities. From 1920 to 1925, she said, there were not less than 867 cases of tuberculosis in Orange county alone, 538 of which ended fatally. In the course of her remarks she reviewed the proceedings which resulted in the tri-county hospital project, to have been known as the San Gorgonio sanitarium. Notwithstanding the fact that the three counties had practically agreed upon the building plans and purchased the necessary site, further progress was delayed by the Orange county representatives, who objected to having their county foot 52 per cent of the building cost. The total cost was estimated at close to $200,000, of which amount Orange county was asked to cover $100,000. Supervisor Schumacher said that he was sorry that the tri-county project fell by the wayside. He added that though not authorized to speak for his colleagues in this matter, he thought that the supervisors did not feel justified in spending such a large amount on a project located outside of the county, more so as Orange county had been asked to carry more than half of the building cost. He voiced the belief that the supervisors were no longer interested in the tri-county project. Realizing the need of relief, he suggested that the county build its own sanitarium in the mountain country to be traversed by the proposed Elsinore-San Juan Capistrano road. Along with this recommendation, he further suggested that a special committee of citizens interested in the project, including Drs. Wehrly, Presson and Zaiser, be appointed to go over the ground and bring in recommendations as to site, building plans, et cetera. Schumacher's suggestion found a ready echo among the workers and several voiced their approval of the proposition. It was suggested that the matter of selecting a suitable site in the Santa Ana mountains be submitted by Schumacher to the board of supervisors for formal action. Another suggestion to secure a suitable site outside of the county met with little response when District Attorney Z. B. West, Jr., advised the conference members that the proposed expenditure would be without legal sanction unless authorized by special legislation. Dr. Presson made an eloquent plea for action that would bring needed relief to the hundreds of tuberculosis sufferers who for lack of suitable facilities are left to shift for themselves. PHILIPPINE REFERENDUM President Coolidge's veto of the bill with Union Ethyl. Accordingly, two hill-climbing tests were made, the same car being used in each. Standing starts were made and the car run in low gear. In the first test, the ordinary type of gasoline was put in the tank and the car sent on its way up the hill, which is approximately 300 yards long. At a point about 250 yards from the bottom of the hill, the engine commenced to labor and "knock" and finally coughed its last after traveling a few more yards. The carbon accumulations Legislative Notes Threats by enemies of senate bill No. 490, the farm bureau reapportionment measure, to invoke the referendum, were met by the announcement of the agricultural legislative committee that any such attempt would be staunchly opposed by the farm organizations it represents. The committee, which represents 75-000 California farmers, is prepared according to its executive secretary, R. H. Taylor, to take to the field and fight to the utmost any campaign to nullify the bill. the legislature with the California Farm "Having fought all the way through Bureau Federation and other farm organizations for this bill, we are not going to quit now," said Taylor, after news that an active referendum campaign had been launched in Los Angeles had reached him. The bill is now in the hands of Governor C. C. Young, having passed both houses. It is practically certain that he will sign it. It is designed to put an end to the long struggle between the rural and city districts over control of the legislature by giving the rural group control of the Senate and the city districts control of the assembly. The lower house would be reapportioned on a strictly population basis which would give Los Angeles a number of additional legislators. Senatorial districts would be so arranged that no county or city and county could have more than one senator, and no senatorial district would include more than three counties. This would cut down the representation of the cities in the upper house and redistribute it to the rural communities. Warned by threats that the bill would be held up, the California Farm Bureau Federation, assisted by the legislative committee and other farm groups, succeeded in inserting an amendment to the measure which would prevent any portion of the act from going into effect in the event another portion is delayed by referendum. This was done to keep Los Angeles from profiting by the arrangement to increase its representation in the assembly, while at the same time the provisions beneficial to the rural districts were being held up. "We regard senate bill No. 490 as a fair arrangement for all concerned," added Taylor. "We believe, too, that Another suggestion to secure a suitable site outside of the county met with little response when District Attorney Z. B. West, Jr., advised the conference members that the proposed expenditure would be without legal sanction unless authorized by special legislation. Dr. Presson made an eloquent plea for action that would bring needed relief to the hundreds of tuberculosis sufferers who for lack of suitable facilities are left to shift for themselves. PHILIPPINE REFERENDUM President Coolidge's veto of the bill for a referendum in the Philippines on the question of immediate independence for the archipelago was expected and warranted. Although the bill was passed by the insular legislature over the protest of Governor General Wood, few well informed persons believed that it voiced a well considered popular demand. It was a political measure purely, and many legislators who voted for it did so knowing that it would prove a futile gesture. As Mr. Coolidge says in his message in explanation of the veto, the result of a plebiscite on independence at this time would be wholly unconvincing, since hosts of the natives are unprepared to register careful opinions on the subject. Moreover, no competent student of the situation in the islands favors their immediate independence. Even the native leaders know that to be impossible. The revenues of the islands are insufficient to maintain a separate government or a defense establishment. The need of the natives for free trade with the United States is urgent, and their independence would automatically end free trade. Not many of the natives understand that aspect of the question. What the more enlightened Filipinos really seek is substantial autonomy, a status similar to that of the Dominion of Canada in the British empire being their avowed aim. Unquestionably autonomy of that kind is coming, but coming gradually. It involves many complex problems, and no crude referendum can solve them. Federation, assisted by the legislative committee and other farm groups, succeeded in inserting an amendment to the measure which would prevent any portion of the act from going into effect in the event another portion is delayed by referendum. This was done to keep Los Angeles from profiting by the arrangement to increase its representation in the assembly, while at the same time the provisions beneficial to the rural districts were being held up. "We regard senate bill No. 490 as a fair arrangement for all concerned," added Taylor. "We believe, too, that any attempt to hold it up by referendum should an dwell fall in spite of the frantic efforts made to beat it and the flood of literature that is being circulated against it." Another victory for the farm group at the legislature was assured in the signing of two bills by Governor Young designed to protect the farmer against fraud in the purchase of fertilizer. The first bill, assembly bill No. 665, licenses all salesmen of fertilizer and sets up drastic penalties for misleading and fraudulent statements. Licenses are issued by the department of agriculture and may be refused or cancelled for cause. The other bill, assembly bill No. 666, gives the department of agriculture the power to cancel or refuse licenses for the sale of materials detrimental or injurious to plants or for which misleading claims are made. The measures were an important part of the program of the agricultural legislative committee, whose officials have thanked Governor Young on behalf of the farmers. The committee believes these measures will be a tremendous factor in stabilizing ghee fertilizer industry and in acquainting the farmers of the state with the composition of the various kinds of fertilizer and its uses. Candling eggs is a safeguard against such conditions as blood spots. And it's the way to make sure that you are not sending stale eggs to market. It's one of the most efficient methods of learning the quality of eggs. Power of Union Ethyl Gas Numerous Inquiries About Playgrounds All California Parks to Be Open Before the End of May The motoring population is beginning to turn an eye towards the opening dates of the playgrounds of the West. In answer to many requests coming in, it is officially announced that all California national parks will be open before the end of May. With the northern playgrounds of Yosemite and Rainier national park open all year, the two southern parks, sequoia and General Grant, will both open on May 24. Inquiries indicate that motoring tourists are going to spend more time in the big trees section of California at Sequoia, General Grant, Wawona and other famous groves. Many have written to the motoring organization that in previous visits to the trees they drove through too quickly to thoroughly see the wonders of the forests. Yosemite national park is glorious in its spring dress of many varieties of colorful wild flowers and green meadows, it is reported by representatives who have just returned from this wonderland. The new El Portal all-year road, with its oil coating recently placed in many sections, makes Yosemite valley available in a pleasant day's drive. Grand Canyon national park is open all year on the south rim, but this Arizona attraction will not open its season on the north rim until about July 1. While the official opening date in Yellowstone park will be either June 18 or 20, it is said, it is oftimes possible for visiting motorists to enter the park prior to that time. Ample supplies and provisions must be carried along, however, and the tourist must be equipped to camp. Many resorts in Big Bear valley are now open and all the resorts in the San Bernardino mountains are expected to open their doors between the middle of May and the first of June. Ten resorts in Owens valley are planning to open May 1, it is stated, and seven others are reported to have set opening dates between May 15 and June 1.

SENATOR FESS AS PROPHET Senator Fess of Ohio in the volunteer role of political prognosticator landed on the first pages of most of the newspapers of the country Sunday with the declaration that "Calvin Coolidge will break another precedent once regarded as very significant. He will be the first man to be nominated and elected to the presidency to serve longer than eight years." Fess dealt with the so-called "third term issue" as follows: "Coolidge was second to break the precedent that no vice-president who succeeded to the presidency was thereafter elected in his own right. If he wishes to do so, he will be the first to break the precedent of an additional election. It is not a third term, but a second elective term in his own right. "The grounds against a third term were once appealing. The memory of George III despotism was too fresh to permit a semblance of continuous tenure of an executive head. Long ago the fear of the man-on-horseback discontinued. The compelling reasons have ceased to exist. On the contrary, the same reasons which would justify a second term may justify an additional term. "The force of precedent is weakening in every province of government. The simple reason that a certain course of action has been a rule in the past is not conclusive of its uninterrupted continuance; nor the mere fact that such a course never has been pursued does not mean that it never will be pursued. The thruthfulness of this statement can be demonstrated in common experience; and will most likely be observed in 1923 in the case of the nomination and election of President Coolidge."
