Lippincott Advises Earth Dam in River Tells Supervisors It Would Be More Satisfactory Engineer J. B. Lippincott appeared before the supervisors Tuesday and made application for the position of engineer in charge of the county flood control project. He was accompanied by E. A. Rowe, whom he recommended as resident engineer. He strongly recommended an earth dam instead of concrete, and urged that all possible sites be studied. A hydraulic fill or "earth" dam at one of several possible sites in Santa Ana canyon—probably the Prado site—in preference to a concrete dam, was one notable suggestion offered by Lippincott. Not only would a dirt dam be considerably less expensive, but, according to Lippincott, the conditions at the suggested sites would favor a concrete dam less than one of the hydraulic fill type. While the Prado site seems most advantageous from their superficial survey, Lippincott and Rowe said they had inspected several other sites, including Sulphur Slide, Scully's Point, and a fourth site, between Scully's Point and Prado. They advised that the other sites be studied more thoroughly in order to be sure that the final selection is the best one. Rowe stated that, in his past work in this county, he believes there is opportunity for flood control work on several other streams of the county, particularly San Juan creek. Santiago creek was also mentioned by the engineers, who said that they had given the ground only superficial study. Lippincott expressed himself as more familiar with the Santa Ana river, through 35 years of engineering experience in Southern California, and his special employment by the Orange county supervisors a year ago to make a survey and report upon the resources of the Santa Ana river. He told the board yesterday that he Non-Suit Brings End To Damage Suit A motion for non-suit, which was granted Wednesday by Judge James L. Allen in the superior court, ended a $50,000 damage suit in which Joe Moore of Fullerton alleged malpractice against Claude E. Steen, Emerald Steen and John Albert Wahlen, physicians of Fullerton. Moore's attorneys announced that the case will be carried to the supreme court of California. Moore's complaint asserted that he had suffered severe burns after undergoing X-ray treatments at the hands of the defendants. He further averred in the complaint that his wife had suffered nervous trouble arising from worry over his condition, and that she has been under a physician's care as a result. The defendants were represented by the firm of Head, Rutan and Scovel, who asserted that the law would not allow a judgment for the plaintiff owing to the fact that the evidence presented did not show beyond a doubt that the burns resulted from negligence. The defense pointed out that the injuries might have arisen from some defect in the apparatus which the defendants could not possibly have been aware of. The firm of Harvey & Harvey with W. F. Menton, represented the plaintiff and asserted that negligence was the only possible cause of the burns. It was stated that no evidence was presented to show that the burns could have resulted from ma super-sensitive skin. The attorneys stressed the statements of the defense witnesses that the apparatus was not defective and that it had been tested by experts. This they averred, left only the element of negligence as the cause of Moore's injuries. Following the motion for non-suit brought by the defense, the jury was excused and Judge Allen heard the arguments on both sides of the case. The court recessed at noon and an hour later the judge rendered his decision granting the motion of the defense. He stated that in his opinion no evidence was presented to show a definite act of negligence on the part of the defendants. The case recalls another recent action brought against the Fullerton physicians in which similar charges were made by Mrs. Alice J. Hanmore and her two sons, Heath and Glifford. An attempt was made to show that defendants were acquitted of the charge. The death of Michael J. Hanmore, husband and father of the plaintiffs, resulted in Kurt Burns being rescued during this county, he believes there is opportunity for flood control work on several other streams of the county, particularly San Juan creek. Santiago creek was also mentioned by the engineers, who said that they had given the ground only superficial study. Lippincott exspressed himself as more familiar with the Santa Ana river, through 35 years of engineering experience in Southern California, and his special employment by the Orange county supervisors a year ago to make a survey and report upon the resources of the Santa Ana river. He told the board yesterday that he had surveyed the Santa Ana river as early as 1894. He cautioned the supervisors to "see that their plans are right before making a start" on the work, and cited the present experiences of the Los Angeles county flood control district and the San Gabriel dam. That district, he said, is finding that it cannot now make desired changes in plans for the dam, but must proceed along the plans adopted as a basis for the bond issue that was voted. Lippincott is one of the two consulting engineers for the Los Angeles district. When questioned by Supervisor John Mitchell regarding the salary he would expect as engineer for the Orange county district, he stated that $12,000 per year would cover the salaries of both himself and Rowe, the latter as resident engineer. The Los Angeles district, he said, pays its engineer $10,000 per year and each of the two consulting engineers $7500 per year, a total of $25,000. Rowe is well known in Orange county through his work as engineer on the Orange water works extension several years ago, and the Laguna Beach water district just completed. Lippincott's application is the third to be received by the county supervisors. L. H. Taylor of Burbank, and the firm of Burns, McDonald and Smith of Los Angeles had previously presented applications. EXTRA SESSION NEEDED There are very good reasons for an extra session of congress calculated to continue until the regular session opens in December. Important matters are ready for congressional consideration, and there are the elements of controversy that threaten to involve the Senate in lengthy wrangling. There needs to be opportunity to settle the wrangling without interference in important matters that must be solved early next year. Senator Reed Smoot has urged upon President Coolidge the necessity for an extra session to begin between October 15 and November 1. He has his eye on the finance bill under which the country has been promised a reduction in taxes by President Coolidge. First payments on the 1927 income are due March 15, 1928. Therefore, the new bill must be enacted somewhat in advance of that period. The Republican leaders are indicating a tax reduction of approximately $300,-000,000, whereas the Democrats want to go this one better and cut $500,000,-000, and because it is a presidential Senator Reed Smoot has urged upon President Coolidge the necessity for an extra session to begin between October 15 and November 1. He has his eye on the finance bill under which the country has been promised a reduction in taxes by President Coolidge. First payments on the 1927 income are due March 15, 1928. Therefore, the new bill must be enacted somewhat in advance of that period. The Republican leaders are indicating a tax reduction of approximately $300,-000,000, whereas the Democrats want to go this one better and cut $500,000,-000, and because it is a presidential election year the opposition party may be counted upon to furnish considerable firework over such an important matter as taxation. In the past Democratic opposition to administration plans regarding tax reductions has been short lived. The Vare-Smith muddle, involving allegations of corruption in primaries last year, must be fought out in the Senate, and the fight will be bitter and long. It will have to be out of the way in advance of the taxation matter. Then there is the Mississippi valley flood control. Except in the South, the President has been pretty generally supported for his refusal to call an extra session immediately after the flood. Committees may have something ready for consideration when congress meets. President Coolidge has not indicated his attitude toward the extra session, although it is vital to his campaign for re-election. Failure to enact the tax revision would be fatal. The Senate has not given indication in recent years that it is capable of handling weighty matters in a minimum of time. A German scientist says that petroleum is still being formed in the earth by nature. If this is true, in view of the present overproduction, the oil magnates ought to petition Mother Nature to adopt the eight-hour day. Have you noticed any reduction in static since the federal radio board began to function? With the Snyder-Gray trial out of the way, maybe China can get back on the front page. The court recessed at noon and an hour later the judge rendered his decision granting the motion of the defense. He stated that in his opinion no evidence was presented to show a definite act of negligence on the part of the defendants. The case recalls another recent action brought against the Fullerton physicians in which similar charges were made by Mrs. Alice J. Hanmore and her two sons, Heath and Gilford. The attempt was made to show that defendants were acquitted of the charge. The death of Michael J. Hanmore, husband and father of the plaintiffs, resulted from X-ray burns received during treatment administered by the Fullerton doctors. The judgment favored the defendants in this case, as in the latter, owing to the inability of the plaintiffs to establish the fact that the burns resulted from negligence on the part of the physicians. NOTHING MUCH WRONG Under a heading, "What's the Matter With Iowa," a Hawkeye editor unburdens his mind as follows: "Nothing's wrong with Iowa, except that entirely too many of us get up in the morning at the alarm of a Connecticut clock, button a pair of Chicago trousers to Ohio suspenders, put on pair of shoes made in Massachusetts was in a Pittsburgh tin basin, using Cincinnati soap and a cotton towel made in New Hampshire, sit down to a Grand Rapids table, eat pancakes made from Minneapolis flour, spread with Vermont maple syrup and Kansas City bacon tried on a St. Louis stove, buy fruit put up in California, seasoned with Rhode Island spices and sweetened with Colorado sugar, put on a hat made in Philadelphia, hitch a Detroit mule fed on Texas gasoline to an Ohio plow and work like hell all day on an Iowa farm covered with New England mortgages, send our money to Ohio for auto tires, wondering why Iowa taxes are $2.77 per acre while the farmers in Ohio pay $1 tax and drive on paved roads, and at night we crawl under a New Jersey blanket to be kept awake by a damned dog, the only home product on the place—wondering all the why ready money and prosperity not more abundant in this wonderful state of ours."

Leads World in Telephone Service Sixty-one Per Cent of Total in Use in This Country Out of a total of 27,753,963 telephones in the entire world on January 1, 1926, the United States possessed considerably more than half. There were on that date 16,935,918 telephones in this country, or 61 per cent of the world's total. The number of telephones in Europe on the same date was 7,479,600, or 27 per cent of the world's total, the remaining 12 per cent being scattered over the globe in Asia, Africa, Oceania, South America and countries in North America outside of the United States. During the year 1925 the number of telephones in the world increased by 1,727,465, or over 6 per cent, a remarkable growth when it is remembered that there were only about 1,700,000 telephones in the whole world at the beginning of the century. The figures used in the foregoing statement are taken from a recently published compilation of telephone, and telegraph statistics of the world. It has taken some time to obtain authoritative data from the more distant countryside and so the most recent date for which comparable figures are available is January 1, 1926. It is interesting to note that out of 19,389,369 telephones operated by private companies throughout the world, 16,935,918 were in the United States, and that the number of telephones per 100 population in this country is markedly greater than that in Europe. In the United States there were 14.8 telephones per 100 population, as compared with only 1.5 telephones per 100 population in Europe; where over $8 per cent of the telephones were under government ownership and operation. The only country approaching the United States in the matter of telephone development was Canada, which on January 1, 1926 had 12.2 telephones per 100 of its inhabitants. Denmark and New Zealand followed with 9.2. Sweden with 7.2. Norway with 6.3 and Australia with 6.1. Receipts of Forests Show Heavy Gain More Than Five Millions Paid Into Treasury Last Year Sales of timber permits for grazing, and other uses of the national forests brought a total of $5,156,609.39 into the coffers of the federal government during the fiscal year which ended June 30, 1927. It is announced by the forest service. United States department of agriculture. The total receipts from the national forests for the last fiscal year were an increase of $10,948.37 over the amount received in the preceding fiscal year and exceeded any previous year, except 1922 and 1924, with the receipts were $5,275,818.13, and $5,251,903.11, respectively. The national forests of district No. 6 which includes the states of Oregon and Washington showed the largest receipts of any of the districts, taking in 1,309,173.16. This was a gain of $195,917.72 over the receipts for that district in the preceding fiscal year. District No. 5, comprising the state of California, was second in total receipts, taking in $1,163,241.83, which however was a decrease of $113,664.13 compared with the preceding year. Receipts of other districts were as follows: District No. 2, comprising the states of Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Minnesota-Wisconsin and Michigan, $732,-878.31 a decline of $21,386.90 from the preceding year; district No. 4, comprising Idaho, Nevada and southern Idaho,$580,624.26 a decrease of $84,658.87; district No. 1, comprising Montana,North Dakota,and northern Idaho,$571,312.46 a decrease of $290,870.29; district No. 3, comprising Arizona and New Mexico,$379,336.89,a gain of $176,754.59 over the preceding fiscal year; district No. 7, comprising all the central,southern,and eastern states,$263,468.07,a gain of $5368.36;and district No. 8, comprising the territory of Alaska,$167,725.87,n increase of $54,378.29. The material increase in timber sale receipts in the Alaska district last year was brought about largely by deposits made in connection with the large pulp-timber sales recently consummated on the Tongass national forest,bwhich some 1,670,000,cubic feet of pulp-wood was made available for cutting opening the way for a permanent news-print industry in Alaska.The large decrease in district No. 1 was due mainly to falling off of timber sales on account of poor market conditions.In the southwestern district,the grazing receipts for the fiscal year 1927 were $195,873.06,and for 1926,$42,-878.22.for the earlier year,the low figure was due principally to the fact that grazing fees in the drought stricken region of Arizona,新 Mexico and Utah were remitted for that year. The total national forest receipts last year came from the following sources: timber sales,$3,206,B32.82;timber settlements,$21,B63.23;timber trespasses,$5,G73.02;turpentine sales,$18,B87.73;grazing fees(cattle and horses) $874,-613.82;grazing (sheep and goats) $474,-046.54;grazing trespass,$9,295.75;special uses,$777,C11.63;occupancy trespass,$399.07;water power,$98,T49.34;fire trespass,$5,G60.84;property trespass,$50. Although the grazing fees for 1927 were materially in excess of the 1926 figure,they were $391,333 less than the average for the 10-year period，1917 to 1926 inclusive，which was 1,933,289.For timber sales.onthe contrary，althoughthe 1927 figure is less than for 1926.last year's receipts were $992,932in excessoftheaverageforthepast10 years，whichstoodat$2,260,C310.Inspecial use receipts，therewasalsoanincreasefor1927over1926.Receiptsfromthissourceshownasteadygain,thefigurefor1917being$107,G355.B5,andfor1927,$277,L51.L53Thisreflectstheincreaseduseoftheforests.principallybecauseoftheirgreateraccessibility.

DRESS WELL A Style Scout we get things Anaheim Pupils to Continue Studies Five of the six Anaheim students who graduated from the Fullerton Junior college in June have already signified their intention of continuing their education of higher institutions of learning this fall. Helen Aupperle, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Aupperle, of 253 South Kroeger street, is planning to enter the Broad Oak kindergarten school in Pasadena, and Alice Petzsold, daughter of Mrs. Mary Petzsold, well-known local photographer, will enrol at the Flagstaff normal school, Flagstaff, Arizona. Liberal arts courses are to be taken by the three others who have announced their plans for next term. Elizabeth Schweinfest, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Schweinfest, of 124 Janss street, is planning to become a student at the University of California at Los Angeles. Mildred Jean Stewart, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John B. Stewart, of route No. 1, Anaheim, will enroll at Whittier college, and Alice Williamson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Williamson, of route No. 4, Anaheim, will enroll at Tedlands university. It is revealed. Eunice Hilton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Hilton of route No. 1, Anaheim, has not yet announced her plans for next year. The sum of $32,000,000 was moved through Fifth avenue safely the other day by 22 armed guards. But you will notice that they didn't try to take it down Broadway. Anaheim Ladies Assist Good Cause Will Have Charge of Entertainment at Seal Beach Tonight Tonight, Thursday, August 11, is Anaheim night at the five-day entertainment given by the Catholic ladies at Seal Beach. The entertainment bethe cutting is done under the supervision of forest officers in such a way that the future timber production of the area will not be impaired. Grazing permits on the national forests, likewise, are issued with a due regard to permanent maintenance of the forage resources. Under the federal law, 25 per cent of all the gross receipts of the national forests is turned over to the states and counties in which these forests are located, to take the place of taxes which might be collected if the lands were in private ownership, government lands being exempt from taxation. These funds are used for the improvement and maintenance of schools and the construction of roads in the local communities. One of the features will be dancing. May McAvoy and Sally Rand, with other movie stars of note, will be present each night to help entertain the audience. Sally Rand will be featured in her well-known dances on Anaheim Night, which will be in charge of the following young ladies from this city: Misses Beryl Kennedy, chairman; Nell and Marie Robertson, Geraldine and Isabel Dolan, Olga and Blanche Pelitzer, Naomi Nenro, Alice Teevan, Margaret Bradley, Lorena Porrier, Catherine Huarte, Agatha Bushman, Helen Weber, the Mrs. Mae LeVecke, Marion Harlow and Lucille Sidnam. The above committee asks the support of the people of Anaheim to make their night a success for this worthy cause, namely, to aid Rev. C. N. Raley of Seal Beach to clear the debt on the parish church. Admission will be only 10 cents. Traveling by aeropare may be perfectly safe, but when it gets general it will at least give the boys who sell accident insurance another talking point. The United States department of agriculture is now developing hardy chrysanthemums which will bloom early in the northern states and yet withstand the vigorous winters.
