Anaheim, Calif., August 9, 1928 Asking Votes For Water Amendment Measure Designed to Conserve Waste Water of State. Is Claim A state-wide organization has been completed for the purpose of conducting a vigorous campaign for the adoption of Assembly Constitutional Amendment No. 27, commonly called "The Water Amendment," which will be the seventh proposition on the November ballot. Working earnestly with the owners of three and a half million acres of irrigated lands represented by the Irrigation Districts Association of California, and the owners of large areas irrigated by mutual water companies and various other agencies, under the name "Water Users Constitutional Amendment Committee," are municipal as well as private water and electrical power interests, owners of municipal and irrigation securities, state officials and many of the most prominent jurists and attorneys in California: According to a statement by the committee, the adoption of this amendment is vital to the carrying out of the policy approved by each legislature for the past ten years in making appropriations for the development of a comprehensive plan for the conservation and use of the waters of the state, for the amendment is designed "to prevent the waste of water by making available for use by others the water that is not necessary for use by those now claiming to have the exclusive right to its full flow." This refers to the decisions of the California courts that the owners of land bordering a stream, known as "riparian owners," can joinhold the diversion of water to lands that do not touch the stream and to the claim that the storage of water, whether needed on riparian lands or not, is unlawful as a violation of "riparian rights." Contending that enormous and needless waste of priceless water will follow the enforcement of such a doctrine and that further development of the state Anaheim will see something new in automobile touring comfort in a short time, according to A. H. Frahm. He has just ordered special equipment which will transform the Oldsmobile two-door sedan into a real "hotel on wheels" and eliminate the needs of tourists' carrying cumbersome impediments on running board or hauling a trailer. Autoberth Design Double berths and bedding can be carried without loss and made up and the second berth attached to car ceiling are in this position the Autoberth makes an exceptional while the physician drives at his side. The curtains over berths during the dav. The Autoberth is shown. Contending that enormous and needless waste of priceless water will follow the enforcement of such a doctrine and that further development of the state by means of irrigation or the generation of electric power will be greatly retarded, and every city in the state be in danger of future water shortage, because this doctrine makes practically impossible the building of any more reservoirs for the storage of water for irrigation, power development or the use of the cities, the state-wide committee urges support of the amendment. The last legislature, by a nearly unanimous vote, caused the proposed amendment to be placed on the ballot. Prominent in the committee are two former supreme court justices, the attorney general and the state engineer of California, and the president of the state board of agriculture. Virtually every interest in the state is represented on the committee. Bankers names are mingled with those of farmers. Civic leaders of Los Angeles and San Diego are named beside those of San Francisco and Oakland. William Durbrow of Willows is chairman, and the active management of the campaign is in the hands of W. D. Wagner of Merced, secretary of the Irrigation Districts Association of California. The executive committee includes F. G. Athern of San Francisco, Col. Ed. Fletcher of San Diego, P. H. Griffin of Modesto, Alden Anderson, Sacramento banker, George P. Clements, head of the agricultural department of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, Ralph P. Merritt, head of the Raisin Growers' Association, Former Supreme Court Justice Warren Olney, Jr., A. B. Tarpey, Fresno vinyardist, Former Governor George C. Pardee, president of the East Bay Municipal Utility District, and Arthur S. Crites, Bakersfield banker. A. B. Tarpey as chairman and Alden Anderson as treasurer head the finance committee. Among others prominent on the general committee are U. S. Webb, attorney general; Edward Hyatt, state engineer; M. C. Sloss, former justice of the supreme court; Donald D. Conn, manager of the California Vineyardists' Association; City Engineer M. M. O'Shaughnessy and City Attorney John J. O'Toole of San Francisco; F. L. D. Harman, assistant secretary of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce; Allen G. Wright, attorney for the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce; James Milla, Sr., regent of the University of California; George L. Swendsen, Presno Chamber of Commerce; W. P. Boone, president of the Kings River Water Association; Earl C. Pound, president of "the Imperial Irrigation District". Anaheim will see something new in automobile touring comfort in a short time, according to A. H. Frahm. He has just ordered special equipment which will transform the Oldsmobile two-door sedan into a real "hotel on wheels" and eliminate the needs of tourists carrying cumbersome impediments on running board or hauling a trailer. This new tourist sleeping equipment is a product of the Autoborth Company, which is located in Lansing, Mich., near the Oldsmobile factories. It is designed specially for the Oldsmobile, both recent and present models. "This snow feature should result in a great increase in automobile touring," said Mr. Frahm. "It eliminates the disadvantages of camping and is a money saver." "These Oldsmobile autoborths are two berths with frames made of an aluminum alloy. They are fastened by steel catches to the roof of the car. The two berths can be made into a double bed and weigh only 14 pounds. Each is equipped with a spring made of flat tempered spring steel attached by helical springs to the under side of the frame." When the beds are not in use they are attached to the roof and covered and concealed by ceiling upholstery. Nothing is visible to give an indication that beds are present. When the beds are to be lowered the ceiling upholstery is unhooked and formed sides of the car. The dow curtain and a windshield gives it backs of the fences with wing nuts he removed quickly if bedtime. The beds each rests on four mats on the floor of the car make beds' in two minutes to get out of them is a wonderful feature or to the person who can stop along with comfortably until he having to continue on camp that is not filled then setting up a wagon. Designed primarily mobile tourists, a strong humanitarian use has autoborth devised for two-door sedan. Oldsmobiles are now physicians in the service for use as ambulance. The autoborth combine beds which, fastened to the cellophane upholstery. The two beds is 14 pounds but an inch and one inch in the car. It requires to lower the berth. Ask Centralization of Traffic Officers Movement to Place the "Cops" Under Control of State Sentiment is crystallizing all over California in favor of legislation providing for the centralized control of traffic officers and an abandonment of the present double-headed system of authority whereby the counties appoint traffic officers and the state supervises them. This was the declaration of Frank G. Snook, chief of the State Division of Motor Vehicles. Snook declared most of the organization of the state having anything to do with traffic problems has already endorsed the proposal, and that he had received many letters and telegrams from prominent persons throughout California commending the idea of a state force under one head and offering their support. Officials of the Municipal Traffic League, an organization composed of municipal representatives from cities all over the state, have informed Snook that a resolution was passed at the recent convention of the league, endorsing time on May 29th, was made on account for forced the automobiles nec whaw from tax. Some confusion among automobiles then ordered by the mobile dealers having bites on hand would these cars in compete bills manufactured upon which no tax paid. Automobiles, how sold on lease contractive date of the A contract would not May 29th, were spec this section of the law allowed. Engineer; M. C. Sloss, former justice of the supreme court; Donald D.

Davidson, San Diego banker, and S. C. Evans, secretary of the Boulder Dam Association. According to the statement issued by the committee, the riparian doctrine was taken from the common law of England where diversion of water for irrigation was practically unknown, and it is unsuited to the needs of California, where the very life of the state depends upon flood storage and widespread diversion. Nevertheless, the amendment does not abolish riparian rights, but assures to the riparian owners all the water they may beneficially use, while permitting the storage or diversion of waters now wasted so that they may be used for cities or lands away from stream banks. Votes for the amendment are asked by the committee on the ground that "the state, with its vital necessity for the full use of all its water resources, cannot tolerate such a claim" as is made by the riparian owners. "The right of the riparia nowner—and the right of every other user of water—should be limited to the water he really needs." Fish loses its freshavor when kept, and spoils very easily in hot weather. Since the flavor is likely to be absorbed by other foods, fish should be kept in a very tightly covered dish in the refrigerator, and used as soon as possible. Don't wrap the ice in a paper or cloth "blanket." It is true that you will save ice by so doing, but you will not save food. In order to reduce the temperature in the refrigerator, the ice must melt. Snook, chief of the State Division of Motor Vehicles, Snook declared most of the organization of the state having anything to do with traffic problems has already endorsed the proposal, and that he had received many letters and telegrams from prominent persons throughout California commending the idea of a state force under one head and offering their support. Officials of the Municipal Traffic League, an organization composed of municipal representatives from cities all over the state, have informed Snook that a resolution was passed at the recent convention of the league, endorsing the proposal. Snook said: "It is with much gratification I note that the Municipal Traffic League of California has endorsed the proposal to create a centrally-controlled traffic squand. "This action adds the opinion of a group of authorities on the subject to the growing sentiment all over California that a change in the present system is necessary to bring about the greatest amount of efficiency in traffic control. "The sentiment thus far is practically unanimous. Even the state association of county supervisors, whose members would be most affected by the proposed legislation, have gone on record as favoring it." Snook said legislation is now being worked out to effect the change. The league also adopted resolutions commending the division for adoption of the new license plate next year that will provide for the more ready identification of "hit and run" drivers by increasing the visibility of the numbers more than 200 per cent. AUTOMOBILE REFUNDS The collector of internal revenue is in receipt from the commissioner's office at Washington of an interpretation of Section 422 o fthe Revenue Act of 1928, which will undoubtedly clarify the question that has been in the minds of automobile dealers and manufacturers are entitled to a refund of the excise tax paid on all automobiles that were in their possession at 8 A.M.

"The backs of the front seats are supplied with wing nuts so that they can be removed quickly and easily when it is bedtime. The beds are lowered and each rests on four metal legs that set up into a double bed. Being constructed in two separate units, either or both beds can be utilized. This feature has made the Oldsmobile autoberth of exceptional value to physicians who are required to have patients removed to a hospital. For this ambulance use the bed on the right side is put into place and the patient is easily put into the berth ranch, which is now under the management of M. I. McCarty. The parent walnut trees were inspected and also sub-tropical fruits. The party proceeded to the County Insectary at Anaheim, where D. W. Tubia explained the propagation and disgement of the cryptolemus parasite, and the students were then given the opportunity to inspect the plant. The Santiago Packing plant at Orange was the final stop of the morning, and through the courtesy of the manager, R. E. Cross, the party was permitted to see a modern, fully equipped orange packing plant in operation. After a picnic lunch in Birch Park, Santa Ana, the group visited the Bishop walnut Dehydrator works, where Mr. Bishop explained the operation of the machine, and supplied literature concerning it. The Fink brothers persimmon grove on McFadden street afforded an opportunity to see the character of a mature commercial grove, and Mr. Fink told them of the yields and prices that he has received, and also discussed with them some of the problems and features of this new industry. At the Mabury ranch, the beneficial effect of walnut thinning was observed and studied, with the assistance of Mr. Wahlberg's charts. At the San Joaquin Fruit company's ranch, Mr. Newman resuscitated the group with fresh valencia oranges, while he explained climatic and economic factors affecting the production of walnuts, avocados, valencia oranges and other sub-tropical fruits. Several plantings were visited which developed points that Mr. Newman and Professor Hodgson had in mind. The final stop was at the orchard of Mr. Carney on Seventeenth street, where the effects and prevention of wind injury were observed and discussed with the assistance of Mr. Wahlberg's charts. The students are gathered from various tropical countries of the world, representatives of Egypt, India, Great Britain, Brazil and Japan were especially noticed. Several farm advisors from California and Arizona also attended the session and found it very much worth while. No doubt Orange county will remain in their minds as an outstanding unhooked and forms curtains for the sides of the car. The regular rear window curtain and a special curtain for the windshield gives absolute privacy. "The backs of the front seats are supplied with wing nuts so that they can be removed quickly and easily when it is bedtime. The beds are lowered and each rests on four metal legs that set on the floor of the car. One person can 'make beds' in two minutes without having to get out of the car. This in itself is a wonderful feature on a rainy night or to the person who is tired. They can stop along the roadside and rest comfortably until morning instead of having to continue on seeking a tourist camp that is not filled to capacity, and then, setting up a wet tent." Designed primarily as a boon to automobile tourists, a strictly utilitarian and humanitarian use has developed for the autoborough devised for the Oldsmobile two-door sedan. The berth-equipped Oldsmobiles are now being purchased by physicians in the smaller communities for use as ambulances. The autoborough consists of two separate beds which, when not in use, are fastened to the ceiling of the car and concealed by quickly detachable ceiling upholstery. The combined weight of the two beds is 14 pounds and they take but an inch and one-half of headroom in the car. It requires only two minutes to lower the berths and make them up into a double bed. Being constructed in two separate units, either or both beds can be utilized. This feature has made the Oldsmobile autoborough of exceptional value to physicians who are required to have patients removed to a hospital. For this ambulance use the bed on the right side is put into place and the patient is easily put into the berth through the wide door of the sedan. Tempered steel springs attached to the under side of the berth by helical springs, a soft mattress and the sturdy construction of the heat treated aluminum alloy frames assure the maximum of comfort to the ill or injured. The left side of the car remains unchanged, permitting the physician to drive while seated along side of his patient. There are 121,007 communities in this country having populations not exceeding 10,000. Regular ambulance service in these smaller communities is rare and but a comparative few of these smaller places have hospital facilities. This requires a considerable delay and expense when a patient has to be moved in an ambulance to a larger city for hospital attention. The fact that the berths are entirely concealed when not in use and detract in no way with the interior or exterior appearance of the Oldsmobile permits physicians to have both a pleasure and business vehicle as well as an ambulance in one automobile. The Union Pacific announces a popular coach excursion to Salt Lake City and Ogden, Utah, to be run August 14. The fare will be only $20 from Los Angeles for the round trip. It is expected that many people will take advantage of this very low fare to visit Utah. A relief party, as in the old days, remains the most important element of a Polar expedition. Prof. Hodgson's Final Field Trip By E. E. EASTMAN The final field trip of the University of California summer session in subtropical horticulture, was taken last Saturday.

Profitable production of quality fruit is directly related to the control of scale on citrus trees. Another year has rolled around and it is about time for growers to start on their annual battle with these pests. Early fumigation is recommended wherever it has been proved that fumigation will do the work satisfactorily. In the resistant black scale areas where fumigation for a period of years has not been satisfactory, oil sprays should be used. In the case of very heavy infestation in these areas, an early fumigation in August and a late fall oil spray with lime sulphur has been found to be most satisfactory. In the case of a medium to light infestation there are several oil sprays which have proved very satisfactory, especially if used in August or September. Both of these above recommendations have also proved fairly satisfactory in the control of red spider along with the control of black scale. The Farm Advisor recommends in each case, however, that the grower consult the district hosticultural inspector. Seek Girl, 15, Who Vanished at Olive County authorities are asked to roll in a search for Margaret A. Cline, 15, of Olive, who is said to have disappeared from the home of her grandmother there at 6 p.m., July 29. The girl has not been seen since it is stated. She took most of her wardrobe with her when she left Olive, the sheriff's office at Santa Ana was informed. The girl, who is a daughter of C. O. Cline of Ramona, is a nature lover, her relatives told the officers, suggesting that she might be found living somewhere in the open. Some politicians are so modest they are satisfied with being mentioned as a favorite son candidate for vice-president.
