Parent Teachers to Attend Convention Orange County to Be Well Represented at State Conclave Reports received today by Mrs. J. V. Kelsey, president of the Orange county district of the California Congress of Parents and Teachers, from the various city federations and local associations throughout the county, indicate that Orange county will be one of the best represented units at the state convention, to be held in Los Angeles, May 31 to June 3, inclusive. It is expected that more than 100 delegates and visitors will register from Orange county, inquiries revealed. According to Mrs. Kelsey, from the opening session to the closing event, every moment will be used in one of the most constructive, comprehensive as well as interesting and entertaining programs ever planned by the state organization. Every department of state work will be reported on; every phase of child welfare will be featured in some way. Each bureau manager and the six directors of the departments of organization, extension, public welfare, education, home service and health will have speakers, many of whom are nationally known. Following are some of the more prominent speakers listed on the convention program: Dr. Bird Baldwin, New York, a noted authority on child welfare problems; Miss Ethel Richardson, state superintendent of adult education; Dr. Newell Edison, New York, National Association of Social Hygiene; Mrs. Earl Morris, Santa Ana, manager of the national bureau of program service of the Parent-Teacher Association; Dr. Lela J. Beebe, San Francisco, state of child hygiene, P.-T. A. and member of the California state board of health; Heler Matthewson Laughlin, dean of women, University of California, Southern branch; Dr. Harvey L. Eby, Los Angeles, associate professor of rural life, University of California, Southern branch; Judge Georgia Bullock of the women's court, Los Angeles; Dr. John F. B. Carruthers, Occidental College, state chairman of educational education California P-T A...

Miss Cossley-Batt is a graduate of London and Oxford universities. During the war she served with distinction in the chemical warfare and optical munitions of the British government, and was decorated with the Order of the British Empire for heroic services. Since March, Miss Jill Cossley-Batt has worked her way by lecturing and writing and selling across practically every country in the world. Having crossed Australia on horseback, she was the first white woman to visit the king of Tonga (South seas); has crossed the Sahara desert, where she hobnobbed with Egyptian seers and Arabian sheiks; traversed India dressed as a Hindu boy, and was the first white woman to visit the Mystery tribe in the Himalayas, where she found men 100 years of age who did not look more than the average man of 35 years in this western world. Naturally, this versatile young woman made a close study of their health and eternal youth secrets. Breaking through the gates of Hollywood, Miss Jill Cossley-Batt worked her way from an extra to the head of a scenario department, and during the year 1926 had 12 one-reel comedies and five-reel westerns produced on the screen; she also proved herself a capable character actress, having played several good parts, including the archduchess In Von Strohelm's latest picture, "The Wedding March," and when in England played the lead in "The Rest Cure," and for a while "The Stork" at His Majesty's theater. Miss Jill Cossley-Batt is a recognized authority on world affairs; her first trip around the world was as correspondent for the London Times' trade supplement. For several months this remarkable young woman edited the Portland Export and Shipping Journal; she has ever books to her credit, her latest on California, soon to be off the press. Having hobbled with all the stars and celebrities of the world, in addition to facing unusual hardships and enjoying many unique experiences, Miss Cossley-Batt's talks are most entertaining, as well as instructive, and her most unusual gift of humor has been much appreciated by the various kinds of audiences she has addressed while in California. They include both churches and clubs. Being extremely versatile and having had unusual educational advantages in addition to being a good linguist and great observer, Miss Jill Cossley-Batt is well able to discuss travel events, motion picture experiences, in addition to such matters as present day literature, the war debt, world economics, world peace and the high cost of living. Clayton Palmer, supervisor of agriculture of the Los Angeles schools, chairman of decorations, will provide a tropical setting, typical of California. Mrs. Kelsey pointed out that one interesting report to be given at the convention will be that of State Statistician Mrs. Robert L. Burns, los Angeles, showing a marvelous amount of money being spent by the various P.-T. A. units throughout the state on musical instruments, books, pictures, rags, cafeterias, playground equipment, scholarships and nutrition. Interesting Contest At Orange Show With entries in the first orange packing contest ever held in this or any other country coming in each day, this feature of the seventh annual California Valencia Orange Show promises much excitement and interest for those in the orange industry and the thousands of visitors to the show. Because of the fact that entries will be received up until the opening of the show, no definite figures can be reached until the contest opens; it is beloved that from fifty to seventy-five teams will compete in this novel contest. Throughout Orange county elimination contests are now being held to select the personnel of the teams to be entered by the county's packing plants, and this same is true in all of the packing plant districts in Southern California. The fact that the winner of the contest will be proclaimed the first world's champion orange packer in addition to receiving a valuable loving cup, $100 in cash and an Atwater-Kent Pooley armchair cabinet radio set, has made the contest worth while and accounts for the great amount of interest that is being manifested in it. That this contest will be of investigable benefit to the packing industry as a whole is freely admitted, as it will spur packers to better and more efficient work as well as adding a new dignity to their labor. Being extremely versatile and having had unusual educational advantages in addition to being a good linguist and great observer, Miss Jill Cossley-Batt is well able to discuss travel events, motion picture experiences, in addition to such matters as present day literature, the war debt, world economics, world peace and the high cost of living. Miss Cossley-Batt's life has been a succession of adventures, and it is surprising that such a young woman should have the courage to undergo such extraordinary adventures. She is full of vivacity, possesses great magnetism, is a fluent platform speaker, and is referred to by many critics as the greatest woman speaker of the age. Possessing a great sense of humor, plus exceptional will power, perhaps it is not surprising that she has managed to come through so much successfully. It is not only her adventures that make her so interesting, but the philosophy of life that she has worked out for herself. On Friday afternoon Miss Cossley-Batt will speak in the Hotel Angelina Roof Garden, at 2:30 p.m. This program is given under the auspices of the American Legion Women's Auxiliary and is for women only. On May 10, 8 p.m., she will also present an evening (assisted by well-known artists) at the Fremont school auditorium, and this program is open to men, women and children. In addition to lecturing, Miss Jill Cossley-Batt is writing up the orange industry for British publications. Prohibition agents raided a wealthy lawyer's estate in the east and found $50,000 worth of liquor. The tip was given by a discharged butler. The moral of this is—don't tell your butler everything. Chicago seems to have the best kind of gunmen. They are exterminating each other. 13 Million Persons Eat on Santa Fe Thirteen million meals were served passengers and patrons of the Santa Fe by the Fed Harvey system of dining cars, dining room and lunch counters during 1925, according to announcement by James B. Duffy, general passenger agent. To feed this great army several dairy, poultry, fruit and vegetable farms are owned and maintained by the system in addition to the enormous purchase of food supplies from other producers in twelve or more states. These include Fred Harvey pure bred dairy herds at Del Blo, Ariz.; Las Vegas, N.M.; La Junta, Colo.; Newton, Kan., and Temple, Texas. It required to feed 13,000,000 people a trainload of eggs consisting of 52 carloads, or 20,800 cases, 624,000 dozen. Milk and cream cost $401,295, and 443,-440 pounds of butter was used on the tables. It required 364,759 pounds of coffee to stimulate them and 24,700 pounds of tea. A trainload of flour amounting to 41 cars, and another 68-car train of potatoes helped to make up these meals. Added to this were 21 carloads of apples, 15,870 boxes; fourteen carloads of oranges, or G160, and 22 cars of sugar. The slaughter of 2870 fat cattle furnished 177,500 pounds of loin steaks on this gigantic menu, 106,037 pounds of roast beef and 739,300 pounds of other cuts. Those fond of ham consumed 40,870 hams weighing 588,000 pounds. There also was consumed 26,700 sides of bacon weighing 145,600 pounds, and 294,980 pounds of leaf lard. Poultry demands also were heavy as it took 391,000 pounds of chicken, 133,-400 pounds of turkey and 74,120 pounds of duck to serve this multitude of travelers. Immense quantities of fruits, berries, vegetables, bakery goods, ice cream and other products helped to complete the bill. and the diameter of the well known, the rate of flow at any point can be determined.

Leaky Artesian Wells An artesian well is one which tap s a rock formation that contains water under so much hydrostatic pressure that the water is forced up in the well above the normal ground-water table. In certain areas, called areas of artesian flow, the pressure is sufficient to raise the water above the surface and thus to produce flowing artesian wells. In some of the first well drilled in the Dakota artesian basin the pressure of the water at the top of the well was more than 150 pounds to the square inch, and the well at Woon-socket, S. D., was reported to have a pressure of 250 pounds to the square inch—about six times the pressure that is obtained from a standpipe 100 feet high. Some artesian wells deliver immense quantities of water by natural pressure. For example, the Tinderry bore, in Australia, at first flowed 2520 gallons a minute; a well near San Bernardino, Cal., flowed 3730 gallons; a well at Chamberlain, S. D., flowed 4350 gallons, and a well near Roswell, N. M., flowed 5710 gallons. The flow of the well near Roswell amounted, in other terms, to about 13 cubic feet a second, or 8,000,000 gallons a day. For many years it has been surmised that large quantities of artesian water are lost by leaking underground through holes in the corroded casings of the artesian wells. Recently the geological survey, United States Department of the Interior, has developed a practical method of locating these leaks and measuring the quantities of water that are wasted through them. Hence, an individual well owner or a community that depends for its water supply upon artesian wells can now obtain definite information as to whether the well leak, and, if so, how much and at what depths. The method is very simple in principle. A current meter that was specially constructed for the purpose by Carl H. Au, of the geological survey, is let down into the well, where it records the velocity of the water at any depth desired. With the velocity and the diameter of the well known, the rate of flow at any point can be determined. Hence a series of measurements taken at successive levels from the bottom to the top of the well will show just where the water enters and in what amounts, where it leaks out and in what amounts, and how much is delivered at the surface. For certain investigations it may be necessary to devise apparatus for measuring the diameter of a well at any depth, but thus far no serious difficulties have arisen on account of uncertainty as to the diameter. This method has now been successfully used in the artesian area of Honolulu, and in the Roswell artesian basin. In the Pecos valley of New Mexico. In Honolulu the artesian water is especially valuable, because it forms the principal supply for the city. In 19 defective wells in Honolulu, a total underground leakage of 7,750,-000 gallons a day was found, which is equal to about one-third of the total quantity of artesian water consumed from the public waterworks. One of the wells was found to waste 750,000 gallons a day by underground leakage. A somewhat expensive program of recasing or plugging all leaky artesian wells has been undertaken, and the value of the work already completed is indicated by the fact that leakage amounting to 5,900,000 gallons a day has been effectively stopped. The experience on this project has shown that recasing and plugging leaky wells are difficult and expensive operations, which require the services of a skillful driller with adequate equipment, working under the instructions of a competent hydraulic engineer. The methods used in these investigations are described in reports by John McCombs and A. G. Feldler, which have been published by the geological survey as Water Supply Paper 596-A.

W. Rockefeller of Garden Grove, a member of the Mutual Orange Distributors; A. S. Bradford of Placentia, an independent, and Henry Melser of Fullerton, a member of the Orange Growers' Consolidated Exchange. This committee, Manager George W. Reid stated, is the same as that of last year, and that the members had worked so conscientiously and their verdicts had been so fair and impartial that they had been requested to serve again this year. That the committee has no easy task before it is evident from the fact that almost three days were consumed in the work last year. This year, with many additional entries, some fifty classes will have to be judged. We're Off!
