Airplanes in Flight May Use Radio Bell Telephone System Now Perfecting Arrangements Telephone arrangement of train and bus connections, meals, or hotel reservations while traveling at a high rate of speed several thousand feet above the earth! This looms as a possibility following an announcement by Dr. Edward B. Craft, vice-president of the Bell Telephone Laboratories, made public here recently by local telephone officials, to the effect that his organization has purchased a large monoplane in which will be installed apparatus for experimental reception and transmission of low-wave frequency radio telephone messages while in flight. Supplementary to the ship-to-port radio channels will be a network of land-wire telephone lines, used largely for weather forecast purposes. It is the plan to conduct extensive research into airways communications during this winter on various transcontinental air lanes. The Pacific Coast air transport companies for several months, in co-operation with The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company, the Guggenheim Fund for the Promotion of Aeronautics, and the Department of Commerce, have been engaged in airway communication experiments, and the entry of the Bell Laboratories into further research is considered an important step in communication and aviation circles. At present, an elaborate long distance telephone system of reporting weather conditions is being utilized on the Pacific air lines. It is the result of studies conducted by Dr. C. G. Rossby, a European meteorologist, brought to this state for this purpose under the auspices of the Guggenheim Fund, and assistance from telephone company engineers. Under the plan, forty observers are reporting weather five times a day to two terminal airports. This is accomplished through a team of long distance operators who, at appointed times, call up the observing stations. Each observer, as he answers, is asked to hold the line and wait his Goose Has Played Part in Our History Now that Thanksgiving is approaching it is well to call attention to the fact again that the turkey is the real American bird. In earliest times he was found in the wild state all over the county, and the wild bird is not yet extinct in certain localities. But the humble goose, too, has played a very important part in American history, according to H. O. Bishop, who writes about our Thanksgiving birds. Mr. Bishop says in part: "In the colonial days the wild turkey was well-nigh as plentiful in the New World as ar robins or blackbirds today. Turkeys were found all over the United States and Southern Canada and in the greater part of Mexico. Often times the poultry yard of a pioneer consisted of several hundred acres of forest surrounding his log cabin in every direction. Getting a turkey for a Thanksgiving dinner, a Sunday dinner, or a week-day dinner was a matter of slight effort and no expense whatever. How times have changed! Nowadays a single steak costs more than a year's supply of poultry or meat when our ancestors first began housekeeping on this side of the Atlantic. But doubtless it is easier for the average head of a house today to buy several turkeys than it was for a citizen of that period to buy enough powder to shoot a turkey. They had the experience, and we have the money. The goose has never been given the credit that is its due. The goose figures in American history as does no other bird or animal. The goose figures in the affairs of Capt. John Smith & Jamestown. The romances of our Pilgrim Fathers are intertwined with the goose. The affairs of the early settlers all over the country are mixed up with Mrs. Goose. George Washington and the long Revolutionary struggle were added by the goose. The Oeclaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States are, in a measure, bolder to the goose. The early laws of our republic were added by the goose. The continental Congress and several Congresses after the adoption of the Constitution placed large dependence upon the goose. "How, and why, you ask?"

Failure of a plane to reach a certain point on scheduled time results in a call to the next point along the route. Several times on Pacific routes have disabled planes located immediately following their misfortunes in flight by this method. THE KELLOGG TREATIES Dr. Herbert Adams Gibbons recently cautioned the Twentleth Century Club of Boston against attaching too great importance to the Kellogg peace pact as a guaranty that war is finally outlawed or that it may not conceivably still be invoked as a means of settling differences between nations. To be sure it is an important step in the right direction, when fifteen nations solemnly agree to seek other means of settling their disputes; but since the pact does not provide a bustitute to which resort may be had for the arbitrament of differences he believes that there is still much to be done to render war impossible of recurrence. Dr. Gibbons warned against the danger of misrepresenting just what has been accomplished, since thereby a laxity might follow in carrying out the campaign necessary to complete the effort finally and effectually to outlaw war. He put the situation in these words: "The trouble with the peace movement in United States is that you are acting upon a generous impulse without a knowledge of the things which have to be done before your impulse can become a reality. Unless we show a willingness to face the various world problems telephone system of reporting weather conditions is being utilized on the Pacific air lines. It is the result of studies conducted by Dr. C. G. Rossby, a European meteorologist, brought to this state for this purpose under the auspices of the Guggenheim Fund, and assistance from telephone company engineers. Under the plan, forty observers are reporting weather five times a day to two terminal airports. This is accomplished through a team of long distance operators who, at appointed times, call up the observing stations. Each observer, as he answers, is asked to hold the line and wait his turn to be connected to the airport meteorologist. It has been found by trial that the necessary weather data can be reported and recorded in thirty seconds, so that the collection of reports from forty stations requires only a short space of time. On one of the coast routes to Oakland, the Oakland airport collects weather reports from points about one-half the distance to Los Angeles, and the Vail Field airport near Montebello does likewise. These reports are consolidated within a fifteen-minute period at 9:45 a.m. The two airports exchange reports and planes are given instructions to leave or to await better conditions promptly by 10:30 a.m. daily. The location of planes and their progress along the line of flight is also checked by long distance telephone Pilots are instructed to report any forced landings immediately to the nearest station. Failure of a plane to reach a certain point on scheduled time results in a call to the next point along the route. Several times on Pacific routes have disabled planes located immediately following their misfortunes in flight by this method." NEW CROWN GALLT TREATMENT TRIED While no definite recommendations are being given out, the chemical treatment of crown galls of fruit trees, without surgery, give considerable promise, according to Leonard H. Day, assistant comologist at Davis, who has been conducting the work. A number of chemicals and disinfectants have been tried and some have cured a high percentage of the galls treated. Since each kind of root behaves differently to the chemicals used it will require several seasons' work to determine the best chemical to use for the various kinds of fruit and nut trees and grape vines. The zinc chloride solution used for pear blight has given very good results in a few preliminary tests on crown gall of pear trees, but probably will be too penetrating on some of the stone fruits. Iodine dissolved in mineral oil is promising on some trees. Farm Advisor H. E. Wahlberg would like to get in touch with a few fruit growers who have serious trouble with this disease and who would be willing to let him try the "cure" on a few trees. Persimmons and walnuts are frequently affected with crown gall growths. Day does not hope to be able to give definite recommendations until another year or so of experimental work has been done on the problem. "KITCHENETTE" BEEF Styles change in demands for beef as well as for other things. Most present-day consumers want beef in a small and attractive package—that is, beef from blocky, smoot, young animals yielding a high percentage of quality meat—and the wise stockman keeps up with the changing needs of the trade. "The trouble with the peace movement in United States is that you are acting upon a generous impulse without a knowledge of the things which have to be done before your impulse can become a reality. Unless we show a willingness to face the various world problems that confront us—questions of tariff barriers, questions of colonizing areas, and questions of world markets—we shall not have world peace. We have go to live and let live and only through living and letting live are we going to come the nearest to world peace." Sound reasoning, for a policy of national selfishness on the part of any nation will beget a like policy among the sister nations. Out of trade rivalry and economic strain may arise many situations which will call for settlement; and means must be devised for peaceable composition of just this type of problem. For so long as economic affaing remain organized upon their present basis, differences will inevitably arise. The ideal of security from war will be realized when rivalry, greed, lust for power, and hatred no longer abide in the hearts of men. The seeds of war destroyed, permanent peace will become a fact; and the Kellogg pact is of great importance as an expression on the part of the signatory nations of their desire to be forever free from war. But the removal of the cause of differences and disagreements between nations will alone furnish the solution to the question. Dr. Adams' warning is timely. Herbert Hoover started his mining career in the old Reward Mine in Nevada county, according to the Nevada City Nugget. It was his first mining job and he received $2 a day pushing an ore car and learning to run a transit. He also made a survey of the workings of the Mayflower Mine near Nevada City. "KITCHENETTE" BEEF Styles change in demands for beef as well as for other things. Most present-day consumers want beef in a small and attractive package—that is, beef from blocky, smoth, young animals yielding a high percentage of quality meat—and the wise stockman keeps up with the changing needs of the trade. Whereas large steaks and roasts were formerly the chief cuts in demand, today most consumers want lightweight cuts that fit into present modes of living, such as apartment kitchenettes, small families, and greater variety of diet. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture farmers are making rapid strides in meeting the new situation and recently the system of full-feeding grain to beef calves during the suckling period has come into use. All of this tends to shorten the lives of beef animals materially, but it provides the consumer with tenderer beef and may increase the profits of cattle raisers. DANGEROUS "MUMMIES" Removal of the "mummies" from the apple orchard during the dormant season is a great aid in controlling apple bitter-rot, one of the most serious diseases in southern apple-growing sections. Mummied fruits are the chief source of infection, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture specialists, as the fungus causing the disease lives over winter on mummies and also on the bitter-rot cankers and other cankers. Where outbreaks of the disease are severe, the overwintering sources of infection should be removed even when the orchard has been sprayed. Collect all mummies from the ground, if possible, but particularly from the trees. Removal of dead wood and of cankers at pruning time in the spring will also help to control bitter-rot. These measures should be considered as supplementary to spraying which is the principal means of control. ANAHEIM GAZETTE Tubercular Deaths Rapidly Decreasing Reduction in Past Seven Years About 50 Per Cent The reduction of the death rate from tuberculosis of approximately 50% during the past seven years is cited as indicative of the importance of the intensive work carried out against the ravages of the disease by tuberculosis workers, states Dr. K. H. Sutherland, county health officer. And also the need for funds to stump out the other fifty per cent, he points out. "The fact that in the county the first three months of 1928 there were 28 deaths in Orange County from tuberculosis shows that there is still a very real problem to be solved and much preventive work to be done. A survey covering a ten-year period from 1914 to 1924, shows that 1689 persons died from tuberculosis in this county. National statistics estimate that for every death there are between 8 to 10 active contacts. Figuring proportionately, there are from two to three thousand persons actively infected with tuberculosis in Orange County. A very definite problem for tuberculosis workers. "The only real solution to the tuberculosis problem is 'prevention,' Dr. Sutherland contends. "In handling the prevention angle as pertaining to children, the year-round Open Air School in Santiago Canyon for under-par children, made possible through the Christmas Sale, is a aplendid step forward," the health officer points out. Christmas Seals will be mailed to 35,000 persons living in Orange county for the carrying out of the extensive tuberculosis prevention program outlined by the Orange County Tuberculosis association for the coming year. MILLIONAIRE INCOMES According to the report of Commissioner Blair of the International Revenue Department we have 283 people we have a duty to perform, and that is to see where the fault lies. If it be due to the shortnessness of those who are impunctious then it is their own fault. If it be due to lack of opportunity or exploitation, it is our duty to see to it that the privilege is given by stopping the exploitation. The good human life cannot consist in those things which for one to gain is for the rest to lose, but rather in those things which all may share alike. Incomes of millions, set over against poverty resulting from industrial maladjustments and unemployment, is not wholesome, no matter how great its prosperity is as expressed in figures. Liquidity is both impossible and undesirable, but economic security and a decent standard of living for all the people is desirable and should be possible in a country as rich and as prosperous as today. A JUST DECISION The United States Supreme Court has decided that Japanese may incorporate for the purpose of founding and operating a hospital in California. The Secretary of State for California refused to file the articles of incorporation because the alien land law did not permit a Japanese corporation to incorporate for the purpose of holding land. The Japanese court ordered that the treaty of 1911 gave them the right to hold land for hospital purposes. They CALIFORNIA IS READY Now California proposes a debate on the relative merits of Florida and California. The debate they suggest would be put on over the radio, each state bearing half the expense. This would not be paid to start with. They both agree that either Florida or California is the best state in which to live in the union and the one that isn't the best, the debaters would probably agree, is the second best so that Florida and California would certainly win at least from the rest of the country. We are broad-minded, if Florida has any arguments over California we would like to listen to them; for we certainly have all that Florida has except her devastating storms and we have much that she does not possess in the way of assorted climates, mountains, canyons, minerals and agriculture and an infinite number of ways of earning a livelihood which Florida cannot boast because of lack of natural resources, but let them tell us what she has over California. RUBBER MONOPOLY ENDED The Stevenson act of the British government designed to restrict rubber production and exports for the purpose of keeping up the world price, ceased to operate last week. In America which now uses 70 per cent of the earth or individual product source, neighbors should do of their own.

MILLIONAIRE INCOMES According to the report of Commissioner Blair of the International Revenue Department we have 283 people in this country who pay an income tax of more than a million dollars to the Federal government. This is 52 more than last year. Of that number eight paid between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000. Twenty-two between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000, fifty-five between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000, fifty-four between $1,500,000 and $2,000,000, and 134 between $1,000,-000 and $1,500,000. In an article in the Survey Graphic for November, which contains a symposium on our national prosperity, the statement is made that sixty-four per cent of the profits of industry went to capital, and comparatively little of our prosperity reached the low strata of our population. This statement is borne out by a volume of statistics that can hardly be disputed. It is significant that those who had incomes of $1,000,000 or more derived forty-three per cent of their incomes from stock and other speculative enterprises. In other words, the most money today is made by those who watch the ticker of the stock market. When we are speaking about prosperity and our great opportunities in this rich country, we do well to bear in mind that a prosperity which is not fairly distributed is not an unmixed blessing. When the nobles of Rome were feasting on the tongues of nightingales and the brains of peacocks and sweltering in all manner of lavish luxury, the ancient historian tells us that the populace was on the verge of starvation awaiting the coming of an Alexandrian corn ship. Our problem in this country is one of distribution of our great riches, not its accumulation. If the few increase luxuries, or even if the many do, and there is a large group that does not share in our prosperity.

POLY ENDED of the British govrestrict rubber acts for the purpose world price, ceased to per cent to 49 per cent. The time has passed when nations or individuals can maintain for any considerable time a monopoly in essential products. Man is too inventive and re-sourceful to sumbit long to stand-and-delivery methods on the part of his neighbor. It is for this reason that the people should be exceedingly slow in disposing of their natural resources. THE 'WILFUL DOZEN' The political independence of Senator Norris of Nebraska, recalls the fact that he is the last man alive and in public office of the group whom President Wilson denounced as the "wilful dozen." The names of these twelve were: La-Follette of Wisconsin, Norris of Nebraska, Cummins of Iowa, Kenyon of Iowa, Stone of Missouri, Gronna of North Dakota, Kirby of Arkansas, Vardaman of Mississippi, O'Gorman of New York, Works of California, Clapp of Minnesota, Lane of Oregon and Senator Lodge. Eleven years have sufficed to eliminate all of them as factors in the federal government, except Norris. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCH "Soul and Body" will be the subject of the Lesson-Sermon Sunday in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, branches of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. The citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon will include the following Bible selection from Psalm 40: "I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God." The Lesson-Sermon will also include the following passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 119), by Mary Baker Eddy: "As astronomy reverses the human perception of the movement of the solar system, so Christian Science reverses the seeming relation of Soul and body and MINING NEWS NOTES Grass Valley probably has the most valuable golf course in the world as a result of a rich strike made in uncovering a gold bearing channel beneath the No. 6 fairway. Now the members are wondering whether to continue playing golf or dig for gold. A granding mill which is designed primarily to grind silica from a deposit near Auburn, but will handle all non-metallics, is to be established in Sacramento by the Western Silica company. The company claims to have a market on the Pacific Coast for all the ground silica it can produce. The establishment of this mill will greatly encourage the development of commercial minerals which must be ground to specifications before the manufacturers will purchase them. While blasting out a site for a new mill at the Kennebec mine near Lake City, a vein of fine milling ore was cut into and has caused the company to change its entire plan of development to take advantage of the find. The Walker Mine in Plumas county will increase its capacity from 1000 tons a day to 2000 tons next June, according to announcement by the officers. At the same time it is hoped to reduce production costs from $2.34 a ton to about $2. Ore samples about one and one-half per cent copper and some rich reserves are untouched in the workings. 57 NATIONS HAVE SIGNED The most inspiring news since the Armistice is the fact that 57 nations have signed the Kellogg treaty to outlaw war. Of the remaining eight states, five are small ones. These should be no clash on party lines over the question of ratification, as there was over the question of membership in the League of Nations. The pact of Paris is wholly different from the league covenant. It would not commit the United States to active participation in European affairs. It would not necessitate a change in traditional American policy.
