Notices of Intention Sometimes Forgotten 400 Couples Fail to Return For License After Filing Notice The new California marriage law which was intended to prevent hasty marriages by requiring a wait of three days between the application for a marriage license and issuance of the license, has accomplished its purpose to the extent of blocking approximately 400 presumably hasty marriages in Orange county during its first year. A check at the license bureau disclosed that on August 29, just 13 months after the new marriage law went into effect, 410 "notices of intention to marry" filed since July 29, 1927, had never been followed by a second visit for the license itself. The total of 410 included rejections by the license bureau of applications for license for various reasons, mostly because one or the other of the applicants was suspected of being under legal age, and was without consent of parent or guardian. Deducting rejections the number of notices of intention that were allowed to lapse was estimated to be about 400. The new marriage law has reduced the number of Orange county marriages by approximately half and has, in proportion, reduced the prestige of Santa Ana as the state's Gretna Green. It has driven impatient couples to the state border, swelling the revenues of the Reno and Yuma matrimonial centers. It has prevented, judging from past records, about 2400 marriages from being performed in Orange county during the year. Two thousand of these marriages have been performed elsewhere. Four hundred—the stack of abandoned applications on file—presumably did not occur at all, though some of them may have merely changed their plans as to location of the marriage, and made fresh application in another county. But these 400 represent the estimated profit from the state's efforts of conduct in this vast complex of shifting invention, production and use. There is no existing basis to check the failure of service, of the sacrifices of public interest. Someone must determine such standards. They must be determined and held flexibly in tune with the intense technology of trade. Second, there must be some sort of enforcement. There is the perpetual difficulty of a small minority who will not play the game. They too often bring disrepute upon the vast majority; they drive many others to adopt unfair competitive methods which all deplore; their abuses give rise to public indignation and clamor which breed legislative action. Candidates for President forty years hence will be boasting, not that they were born in log houses, but when young they had to take their outings in humble four-cylinder cars. With eighty men working on the famous Sixteen-to-One, a new strive in the Yellow Jacket, the Gold Dollar being worked by leasers, the Oriental working a small crew and the Plumbago and Wonder getting ready operations, the Alleghany mining district is showing plenty of activity. 9 Days of Thrills HOOVER ON HONESTY In an address on business ethics recently Herbert Hoover said: I am one of those who believe in the substratum of inherent honesty, the fine vein of service and kindliness in our citizenship. The vast volume of goods and services that daily flow through the land would cease instantly were it not for the instinctive dependence of our people upon the moral responsibility of the men who labor in the shops and farms and the men who direct our production and distribution. In these times of muddled thought it is sometimes worth repeating a truism. Industry and commerce are not based upon taking advantage of other persons. Their foundations lie in the division of labor and exchange of products. For through specialization we increase the total and variety of production and secure its diffusion into consumption. By some false analogy to the "survival of the fittest" many have conceived the whole business world to be a sort of economic "dog eat dog." We often lay too much emphasis upon its competitive features, too little upon the fact that it is in essence a great co-operative effort. The problem of business ethics, as a prevention of abuse, is of two categories: those where the standard must be of individual moral perceptions, and those where we must have a determination of standards of conduct for a whole group in order that there may be a basis for ethics. The standards of honesty, of a sense of mutual obligation and of service, were determined two thousand years ago. They may require at times to be recalled. The second field is the great area of indirect economic wrong and unethical practices that spring up under the pressures of competition and habit. If we are to find solution to these collective issues outside of government regulation we must meet two practical problems: First, there must be organization in such form as can establish the standof Thrills 1928 National Air Races Los Angeles Sept. 8-16 HISTORY'S greatest air meet opens at Mine Field, Inglewood, Saturday.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE Fullerton Lands State Convention California Firemen's Association to Meet There Next Year Fullerton's representatives at the State Firemen's convention at Redding were home today with the "bacon." bringing next year's session of the California firemen to this city. "We had a hard fight, but we won out with a final, unanimous vote," Fire Chief Roy Davis, who with W. J. Carrichael and Ray B. Leach of the Chamber of Commerce, represented Fullerton, declared. "Seven cities were in the race for the convention next year, but none of them had the support that was given Fullerton from the start," Davis said. "These cities were Monterey, Santa Cruz, Vallejo, Oakland, San Francisco and Sacramento." Monterey and Carmel voting together for the Monterey invitation were the only two votes holding out when a ballot was taken and these withdrew in favor of Fullerton when the overwhelming sentiment in favor of the local invitation was revealed. Fullerton received more publicity than any other city at the convention, the three local representatives worked strenuously at all times to that end. Extended discussion on the proposed two per cent tax on the gross income of insurance companies in the state for the purpose of creating a firemen's benefit and relief fund, occupied much of the time at convention sessions. The matter was referred to the executive committee and will be presented at the present session of the state legislature in an effort to have it placed on the ballot for the general election. It was estimated that the convention in Fullerton next year will attract from 1000 to 1500 persons during most of the four-day session and at least 2000 firemen and their friends will visit the city at some time during the meeting. Plans to make the Fullerton convene the end of the season. The Glendale had, weighing 190 pounds and standing 5-11 tall, was a regular on the Trojan varsity from the start of his sophomore year, losing only 12 minutes out of the entire playing time during the 1926 season. He was selected for the All-Coast team at the end of his first varsity season and was a consistent star. In 1927 Hibbs really blossomed out as a great football star. He starred in every game he played, and after the Trojan's great game against Notre Dame at Chicago he was a practically unanimous American selection. Critics everywhere agreed that Hibbs deserved attention as the fellow who is "the" outstanding linesman of a college generation. Hibbs was the unanimous choice of his teammates for captain of the 1928 team after the Notre Dame game. In this season, his last as a college football player, fans are already saying that he is a sure bet to repeat on the All-Coast and All-American teams. Hibbs is a member of Sigma Chi fraternity and of Skull and Dagger, senior honorary society at Southern California. He has made a B average in the Trojan College of Commerce and Business Administration, majoring in economics. During his sophomore year he won a letter as a basketball forward. He expects to enter the business world on all graduation from college. To Use 1,000,000 'Loading Coils' During 1928 the Bell System will use nearly 1,000,000 loading coils. Loading coils are placed at regular intervals in Long Distance circuits and, through their use, energy losses are greatly reduced. They thus permit much longer talking distance. The use of loading coils in the Bell System has shown a phenomenal increase in the past few years. During the period from 1916 to 1922 the average production of loading coils was about $7,000 coils a year. Since then the production has grown to reach over 500,000 in 1926 and 726,000 in 1927. The Bell System's demand for loading coils California Banks Take High Rank The weakness of small capitalization is apparent in the great number of bank failures in the middle west. The well proven safety of California state banks is largely due to the conservative policy which has been pursued in granting new charters. This accounts for the fact that California, considered the richest state in the Union, is sixth in total bank resources of state banks with a figure of $1,851,998,023, sayg Will C. Wood, state superintendent of banks. California ranks sixth in population of all states, ranks sixth in resources, and sixth in regard to deposits. Wood says, with a total of $1,607,911,833 deposits including certified and cashiers' checks. "The California policy does not favor the establishment of small banks. The state policy is to charter a bank only when it can start with sufficient strength to give the service the community requires. "The present administration has declined to charter any bank with a capital of less than $50,000. There are now only 57 banks in California with a capital of less than $50,000 and none with a capital of less than $25,000, whereas in one middle western state, two-thirds of the state banks have capital of less than $10,000 each." Branch banking in California also accounts in part for the relatively small number of banking institutions in the Golden State." Wood says. The states exceeding California were New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Ohio. The state of California takes 24th place as regards the number of state banking institutions. This state has only 276 state banks, whereas Illinois has 13,644; Missouri, 1254; Iowa, 1065; Pennsylvania, 963; Minnesota, 869; and Kansas, 878. Wood says. U. S. C. Grid Captain Consistent Player Jesse John Hibbs, who will captain Coach Howard Jones' University of Southern California football team this year, rates as one of the most consistent stars that has ever blazed across the Pacific Coast football sky. An All-American tackle in his junior year in college, Hibbs was said to be the greatest prep lineman in the country while he was a member of the Lake Forest Academy (Hilmois) team by none other than Alonzo A. Stagg. Stagg called Hibbs the greatest prospect he had ever seen, and in his position as head coach at the University of Chicago it might be stated that he has seen plenty of potent preppers. Hibbs' prep career started at Normal High school in Illinois, where he won letters in football, basketball and baseball, and continued at Lake Forest, where he was football captain for two years and was twice selected as the outstanding tackle in Central Illinois. Hibbs was a student at Glenview High school in California for one year, not being eligible for football but playing basketball. He graduated from Lake Forest in 1925, and registered at Southern California in September of that year. Hibbs was selected as honorary captain of the 1925 freshman team at During 1928 the Bell System will use nearly 1,000,000 loading coils. Loading coils are placed at regular intervals in Long Distance circuits and, through their use, energy losses are greatly reduced. They thus permit much longer talking distance. The use of loading coils in the Bell System has shown a phenomenal increase in the past few years. During the period from 1916 to 1922 the average production of loading coils was about 87,000 coils a year. Since then the production has grown to reach over 500,000 in 1926 and 726,000 in 1927. The Bell System's demand for loading coils during the next five years will be at a yearly rate materially in excess of the number manufactured during 1927, the most recent estimate for 1928 indicating a total of about 975,000. Loading coils are employed in cable used for inter-office trunks, and in cable used for toll entrance purposes, as well as in the long toll cables which are going into use so extensively in toll and Long Distance plants. The increased use of these loading coils has been due not only to the growth of the plant, but to improved engineering practices worked out by engineers of the Bell System, as well as to many improvements in the coils themselves. A great reduction in the size of coils both for toll and local use, has been brought about by the introduction of the permalloy dust core which has later been developed by the Bell Telephone Laboratories and the Western Electric company. The reduced size thus secured has made possible economies in potting, together with space economies in manholes which latter is an extremely important factor in thickly settled areas.
