Work Performed For Child Relief Harry D. Riley, Head of County Society, Makes Annual Report Harry D. Riley, president of the Orange County Crippled Children's Relief Association, has made a report showing the work accomplished during the past year. It shows that the society has treated many children, and saved some from being permanent and hopeless cripples. In his report Mr. Riley says: Our association, though operating on funds voluntarily subscribed, has been able to assist 151 little unfortunate children back to health and more happiness. Many new cases have come to our attention this past year, in addition to those carried over from previous years, as is necessary, owing to the peculiar and lasting effect of paralysis on some of our little patients. We have patients requiring treatment now at least twice a week who have been in our care for six years, showing some improvement all the time. We must care for them and fight to bring them to as near a cure as is humanly possible. The officers and directors of the association have managed its affairs without any monetary reward whatsoever, but the satisfaction of doing a service worth while. I said the management served without any reward. I meant in a monetary form, because I know that I have been more than repaid for all the service I will be able to perform by little expressions of appreciation for what we have done for those who are not in a position to help themselves. During the early life of our association, which was organized in May, 1921, we did not function like the well-oiled and well-organized machine we have now. We realize it is necessary to creep before we can walk, but we had our present organization in mind as a goal toward which to work. Now we have another goal, and that is to work until these poor little children will be able to enjoy specialized and vocational training in our schools, with seats built comfortably for the crippled, and pro- LEGION NOTES The United States veterans' bureau at Washington has been ordered by the director, General Frank T. Hines, to inaugurate a general campaign to assist in finding employment for disabled World war veterans, according to word received by State Adjutant James K. Fisk of the American Legion. Fisk expresses the opinion that this effort in which the American Legion posts of California will co-operate will mark one of the most progressive acts that has been undertaken by General Hines since the beginning of his administration of the bureau's activities. American Legion posts throughout the country will assist in the movement, and General Hines, with his bureau's 54 field offices, and the bureau's thousands of employees, hopes to effect contacts with employers that will result in a general employment of disabled veterans, and especially those discharged from government hospitals. General Hines has directed letters to his regional managers, calling attention to that part of the World War Veterans' Act which states: "That the bureau shall have the power, and will be its duty, to provide for the placement of rehabilitated persons suitable or gainful occupations." The director calls attention not only to those rehabilitated by the bureau under the vocational rehabilitation act, but to those rehabilitated in bureau hospitals. Former contacts with civilian agencies are to be renewed; anti-attention also is called to the fact that in filling positions within the bureau that preference be given to persons with service record. Prepared to place a well-knit organization of large man-power at the disposal of the constituted authorities in the various California communities wherever a major disaster in any part of the state may require it, a statewide committee from the leaders of the American Legion posts will begin to function with the advent of the new year. Sidney Hotchner of San Francisco has been named the chairman of the emergency committee from the World war veterans' organization. The matters of In S. C. During the early life of our association, which was organized in May, 1921, we did not function like the well-oiled and well-organized machine we have now. We realize it is necessary to creep before we can walk, but we had our present organization in mind as a goal toward which to work. Now we have another goal, and that is to work until these poor little children will be able to enjoy specialized and vocational training in our schools, with seats built comfortably for the crippled, and programs arranged so that they may be fitted properly to handle life's problems—this movement to cover the whole of our most beautiful state of California. Much progress has been made along the lines of state aid, creating legislative machinery with which to care for the crippled, the same as the blind, the insane, deaf mutes, etc. A state society has been formed whose job it is to see that this program is carried through to successful conclusion. Legislation has been passed in our state assembly and Senate approving of a plan to treat and train crippled unfortunate, and provide them an opportunity to become independent, happy individuals, instead of a burden for society to carry during their entire existence. Considerable progress has been made along this line in our own county through our association. The census of children which is being conducted by the school board, through the assistance of Parent-Teacher associations, will soon be completed and will give us complete information as to just who the children are in our county who are handicapped physically in attending school. Superintendent of our schools, M. A. Gauer, and County Superintendent Mitchell heartily endorse the work and are working on a program now to start a schedule of training for these children in their homes. This is something which has never been done before, and was brought about entirely by our association's interest and activity. A conference was held recently to discuss the work, which is entirely new to the school authorities here, and to arrange a plan which will accomplish our desires and objective. During recent years our association has had a superintendent handling our affairs, arranging for examinations, operations and after-care in the home, rendering the much-needed physiotherapy treatments, prescribing diets, rest hours, and care recommended by the attending physician. This work is done after the case has been investigated thoroughly by our investigating committees, and authorized by the directors of the association. An account is opened with each case, and all expenses necessary to handle each case is charged to that account, and the progress recorded. All-money spent is authorized by the directors and requisitions are issued in each case. After receipt of the goods, a voucher is made, signed by our president and secretary, authorizing the treasurer to issue a check and pay the account. The thought uppermost in our minds at all times is the patient, and our prepared to place a well-knit organization of large man-power at the disposal of the constituted authorities in the various California communities wherever a major disaster in any part of the state may require it. A statewide committee from the leaders of the American Legion posts will begin to function with the advent of the new year. Sidney Hotchner of San Francisco has been named the chairman of the emergency committee from the World War veterans' organization. The members of the committee are Major-General J. E. Kuhn, Coronado; R. E. Smith, Anaheim; Rex Whittemore, Pomona; E. T. Ferguson, Hollywood; Thomas W. McManus, Bakersfield; Clinton Price, Newman; Frank Berger, Santa Rosa, and Irwin T. Quinn, Eureka. The first meeting of the new committee has been called for January 2 at Los Angeles, and the second for January 7 at San Francisco. The women of the American Legion Auxiliary will join with the women of 32 other patriotic organizations in a conference on national defense, to be held in Washington, February 1-3, according to an announcement from Mrs. Ethel Hearst, state president of the auxiliary to the Legion in California. The California women will be represented at the meeting. The defensive needs of the nation will be discussed at the conference and an expression given to the stand of the women on this subject, President Hearst said. A similar conference was held last year under the sponsorship of the auxiliary and the Daughters of the American Revolution. The conference grew out of a women's defense conference called by the auxiliary in 1924 and held in Washington that year. The latest news from Wisconsin indicates that the G. O. P. elephant up there is again able to swing his trunk and flap his ears. done after the case has been investigated thoroughly by our investigating committees, and authorized by the directors of the association. An account is opened with each case, and all expenses necessary to handle each case is charged to that account, and the progress recorded. All-money spent is authorized by the directors and requisitions are issued in each case. After receipt of the goods, a voucher is made, signed by our president and secretary, authorizing the treasurer to issue a check and pay the account. The thought uppermost in our minds at all times is the patient, and our attitude has been to do the things needed to properly care for our little charges, regardless of expense. If proper equipment was not available here, the patient has been taken where it could be properly cared for. There has never been a case coming to our attention we could not satisfactorily treat. We have treated during the life of our society 151 cases, of which 37 were new this year. However, several of the cases we are now treating have been under care since the formation of our association. One patient in particular, who had never attended a day of his life before, was one of our first patients, and he has been treated at an expense to us of around $2000. He is now going to school, being trained to make two grades in one year, and, after passing the fourth grade examination, we have arranged his vocational training in the shoemaking trade in a school near Gardena, so that he will be self-supporting, and not a load on society during his lifetime. Our association is non-sectarian in its activities. It matters not the color or the creed of the child needing help. They all look alike in this respect. Smoked Finnan haddle is a good fish to serve in winter time. Cut it in pieces, simmer until tender, and then pick from the bones and serve in a cream sauce. Some of the oil used for lubricating watches, clocks and other delicate instruments is obtained from the head of the porpoise. The better grades of neat's-foot oil are also used similarly. ANAHEIM GAZETTE Matters of Interest In S. C. Law Review The January issue of the Southern California Law Review (vol. 1, No. 2), published by the school of law of the University of Southern California, appears January 5, 1928 (today), states Douglas B. Maggs, editor of the Trojan legal periodical. Contents include articles by Prof. Charles E. Clark of Yale university, Prof. William E. Burby of the Southern California law school, the last on the "California Constitutional Provision Prohibiting Perpetuities." Hon. James H. Pope of the municipal court of Los Angeles is author of an editorial note on "A Judge's Attitude Toward the Compromise of Criminal Cases." Other features of the January number of the Law Review are comments on community property and automobile rights and case notes on assault, landlord and tenant, municipal corporations, perjury, witnesses, leases, executors, and treaties, the latter dealing with the right of consuls to remit to foreign heirs and the favored-nation clause. The office of the editor of the Southern California Law Review is at 3660 University avenue, Los Angeles. THE BADGE OF SHAME In Chicago a scheme as been proposed whereby those found responsible for automobile accidents would wear badges of shame. The motorist would be obliged to turn in his license plates, receive other marked with red numerals and use these for a period of six months. It looks like a good plan. The careless driver would wear a label marking him as dangerous among his fellows. Wherever he drove other motorists would look upon his disgrace. At the end of the six months if he were not a careful driver, it would be because he didn't care what people thought of him. Of most men this plan should make careful drivers. Men take pride in their driving, just as they do in a good piece of work done. With their driving advertised as unskillful, terrible, careless, they soon would take steps to repair it. No man likes to have it shouted to the world that he is a failure, and most men do like to think of themselves as good drivers. Seventeen thousand people in the United States are killed in automobile mishaps every year. If the "badge of shame" idea can cut that number down, it is worth the trial. Government Reports On Salton Sea Area Extends Over 170,000 Acres And Is Not Receding Lands which have been flooded during periods of high water may usually expect quick relief when the rivers recede. However, where the flooded lands are below sea level a most unusual condition is created. During 1907 heroic measures finally stopped the overflow of the Colorado river into Imperial valley, California, but not until a lake, known as Salton sea, had been formed, covering 330,000 acres to a maximum depth of 79 feet, containing enough water to cover 16,-000,000 acres to a depth of one foot. As the surface of this lake was 194 feet below sea level, there was no place to which the water could drain, and were it not for nature's pump—evaporation—the lake would probably be nearly the same today as it was in 1907. As a result of evaporation, however, the lake receded until by 1920 it covered only 170,000 acres. Since 1920 the lake has been fairly stable, due to inflow of natural drainage and a large volume of seepage and waste water from irrigated lands in Imperial valley, what of the future? As the lands under and around the lake have economic value, it has seemed advisable to make some sort of a prophecy as to what future conditions are likely to be. During 1925 the Department of Interior, through the geological survey, made a topographic survey of the Salton sea, and during 1927 a study of the problem. A report has recently been prepared by George F. Holbrook, an assistant engineer of the geological survey, who said that surrections in order to water under surface area necessary surface of some 20 ft lake surface published examined main office Washington office at 3 cisco, Calif.

As then, however, the 1920 it covered since 1920 the lake due to inflow of large volume of water from irrigated ey, but what of lands under and economic value, be to make some to what future to be. Survey, which contains a brief history of Salton sea, describes the conditions which surround the lake, and concludes that, in order to evaporate the amount of water that may be wasted into Salton sea under conditions of ultimate irrigation development, an average water surface area of 239,000 acres will be necessary. This corresponds to a lake surface of 228 feet below sea level, or some 20 feet higher than the present lake surface. The report will not be published, but, with the maps, may be examined in manuscript form at the main office of the geological survey in Washington, D. C., or at its branch office at 303 Custom House, San Francisco, California. America has loaned European nations almost a billion and a half dollars in 1927. Evidently Uncle Sam isn't the horrid old Shylock they paint him or they wouldn't be coming back for more. Now that President Coolidge has given it such wide publicity, it occurs to us that "I do not choose to run" would make a proper slogan for the marines. REGISTRATION BEGUN County Clerk J. M. Backs was the first Orange county voter to sign the register when the books were opened Tuesday for the bi-annual registration of citizens. Backs declared himself and staff ready to register the 45,000 voters he believes arg entitled to the right of franchise in this county. Attention was called to the state election laws which require all voters to register every two years. Those now on the Great Register may vote at any elections which may be held before April 1. Two years ago there were 41,367 names on the Great Register, and the county clerk believes this will be exceeded in 1928 by approximately 5000 names. Deputy registration clerks have been appointed and are now busy registering the voters. One way to increase the price of cotton would be to make Santa Claus wear long whiskers.
