Committee Reports On Boulder Dam Cost of Construction Would Be $176,000,000, It Is Said A board of five engineers appointed to consider the engineering and economic feasibility of a dam on the Colorado river at Boulder or Black canyon reported to congress Monday that a dam of the type proposed by the interior department could be built across Black canyon. "It is the opinion of the board that a dam of the gravity type is suitable for the site in question, and that such a dam built across Black canyon would be safe, provided the maximum stresses allowed do not exceed those adopted in standard practice," the board said. It is feasible from an engineering standpoint, the report said, to build a dam across the Colorado river to an elevation of 550 feet above low water. The estimated cost of the proposed dam was placed by the board at $176,000,000 for a dam structure in accordance with the plan outlined in the Swing-Johnson bill now before the senate. From an engineering standpoint the board held that the plans proposed for a dam on the Colorado river are feasible. The site in Black canyon, about 40 miles from Las Vegas, New., was favored by the board over the proposed site at Boulder canyon. The Boulder canyon site, however, could safely be used so far as geological conditions are concerned. The board discussed engineering questions involved in construction of a dam at length and concluded that the danger from earthquakes is no longer a serious factor. The proposed dam would impound 26,000,000 acre feet of water and if it should fail, according to the board's report, the flood created probably would destroy Needles, Topock, Parker, Blythe, Yuma and permanently destroy the levees of the Imperial district. To avoid such possibilities the dam should be constructed on conservatively if not ultra-conservative lines," the board recommended. Motor Swamp Application Over A full page in four colors in the American Weekly Magazine section which appears in Hearst Sunday papers in 28 metropolitan cities will feature Sunkist orange as "Santa Claus Most Healthful Gift." This page will also picture the Sunkist Junior Extractor and call attention to it as its ideal Christmas gift. Special merchandising work on the part of Exchange dealer service men and newspaper retail merchanting departments will acquaint the trade with the Christmas advertising. A speech letter to 4300 jobbers and another to 86,000 leading retailers give them the complete story of the advertising drive placed behind the big crop. Single column black and white advertisements in Vogue, Life, Judge and the New Yorker magazines will also feature the Sunkist Junior to this special class circulation as a Christmas gift suggestion. Color pages on oranges appear in the Saturday Evening Post, Good Housekeeping, and McCalla; acidic advertisements on oranges and lemons in Literary Digest, Liberty and Colliers during December. Lemons are not overlooked with a color-page in Pictorial Review, a half-page in Woman's Home Companion and Ladies' Home Journal on lemon food uses; in Dellineator and in the American Weekly on lemon hair rinse. The Sunkist grapefruit campaign is also in full swing with newspaper advertising and street car cards appearing in Pacific Coast marclets. In addition to all this December consumer advertising, the wholesale trade papers will carry copy advising the trades of the big consumer campaign to help them sell Sunkist fruits. In dallies and weeklies in the citrus belt cities each month appears an advertisement selling of the services, and advantages of the Exchange marketing system. U. S. C. Giving Courses in Aviation Three evening courses in Aviation are announced by the University of Southern California to be given during the 1928-1928 Winter Quarter of University College, Trojan night school in the Transportation Building, 122 East The board discussed engineering questions involved in construction of a dam at length and concluded that the danger from earthquakes is no longer a serious factor. The proposed dam would impound 26,000,000 acre feet of water and if it should fall, according to the board's report, the flood created probably would destroy Needles, Topock, Parker, Blythe, Yuma and permanently destroy the levees of the Imperial district. To avoid such possibilities the dam should be constructed on conservation if not ultra-conservative lines," the board recommended. The proposed erection of two rock fill cofferdams, one upstream 79 feet high and the other downstream 29 feet high above low water level, involving the placing of 164,000 cubic yards of earth, was regarded by the board as dangerous to workmen and valley inhabitants. The report recommended that the height of the water against the upper cofferdam should be limited so as not to impound a volume, which, if added to flood waters, would in the event of failure of the cofferdam endanger life and property in the valley. Construction of the dam would produce under present conditions of irrigation a continuous output of 550,000 horsepower or one million horsepower on a 55 per cent load factor during the years of normal low flow, the board reported. As the use of water for irrigation increases, the amount of water available for power will decrease and a time will arrive when, during periods of low water, the full estimated amount of power cannot be maintained, the report said. Within a 30 or 40-year period, even with a re-regulating reservoir, the power output may be reduced to five-tenths or six-tenths of the capacity of the proposed plant during a long dry period." Parental Education Started By U. S. C. "Although there are many evidences of family disorganization everywhere about us, counteracting forces are also at work, and among these encouraging movements is that of parental education," states Professor George B. Mangold, of the Department of Sociology of the University of Southern California. Supported by modern psychology, organizations and groups have developed methods of training parents for more efficient child culture. One of these organizations is the National Parent-Teachers' association. In 1924 the first study course for parents was organized by the P.-T. A. Thousands of women are now gaining the advantage of this work. Another movement is represented by the Child Study association, which has placed a singular emphasis on child study conferences, presenting the newest thought with respect to habit formation. "A dozen or more colleges and universities have added extension courses and weeklies in the citrus belt cities each month appears an advertisement selling of the services and advantages of the Exchange marketing system. U. S. C. Giving Courses in Aviation Three evening courses in Aviation are announced by the University of Southern California to be given during the 1828-1928 Winter Quarter of University College, Trojan night school in the Transportation Building, 122 East 7th street, Los Angeles, which opens December 10th for a three-month term. Aeronautical Engineering is in charge of Lt. Easton B. Koger, commanding officer of the Naval Officers' Flying School at Long Beach, California. Dealing with aviation from an investment point of view, a Monday night course in Commercial Aviation is in charge of Earl W. Hill, educational director of the Western Air Express. Air Law, covering legal regulations of aeronautics," is headed by Rudolf Hirshberg, of the Institute of Air Law, University of Koenigsberg. Open to those active and interested in aviation, investments, insurance, law, engineering, and transportation, each of the aviation classes will meet one night a week for 12 weeks from December to March at University College. Hessian Fly Studies in California California wheat growers in some sections and in some seasons are troubled by the activities of the Hessian fly, which also injures the important barley crop to some degree: "The most practical measures for control" of the Hessian fly in California," writes C. M. Packard in Technical Bulletin 81-T. Jun published by the United States Department of Agriculture, "are practices already in common use for other reasons. These are rotation of crops, early plantings, and the stimulation of rapid vigours growth." Early planting as advised for California, growers is the reverse of the practice recommended in the winter wheat belt where it has proved preferable to delay planting until after the main autumn flight of the flies. In California the files do not as a rule emerge until late winter and early spring, and the principal injury to the wheat takes place in March, April and May. The bulletin discusses in detail the economic importance of the pest in California; traces its history; gives a survey of seasonal development, including the egg, larva, pupa, and adult stages; discusses the food plants attacked in California; the control of the pest exercised by weather conditions; and the artificial control by the burning of stubble; by burying stubble with the plow; by summer cultivation; by early planting; by rotation of crops; and by the planting of resistant varieties.

In 1924 the first study course for parents was organized by the P.-T. A. Thousands of women are now gaining the advantage of this work. "Another movement is represented by the Child Study association, which has placed a singular emphasis on child study conferences, presenting the newest thought with respect to habit formation. "A dozen or more colleges and universities have added extension courses in parental education, preparing leaders for classes in churches, schools, clubs, etc. "Long interested in the home, the churches have recently realized that the findings of psychology, education, and sociology must be utilized in a successful program of today. "Each of these movements is recent and each is different from the other, but all are contributing to the rounding out of a comprehensive and effective program for training for parenthood," states Dr. Mangold, who came to the University of Southern California this fall. Sunkist Oranges Advertised in East During the month of December Sunkist advertisements appear in 16 issues of 15 national magazines and in 84 of the largest American and Canadian cities with a combined circulation of one insertion of 39,750,647, and in street cars carrying 21 million riders daily, as part of the biggest citrus fruit advertising campaign ever conducted, according to report of Advertising Manager W. B. Geissinger to the directors of the California Fruit Growers Exchange. Few persons, even among the Sunkist growers, realize the extent and diversity of the advertising campaign now under way to help sell the big 1928-29 crop. The Christmas orange newspaper campaign is appearing in four insertions, December 4, 6, 13 and 20 to give a special impetus to the early Navel History of Guajome Early Rancho Given Rancho Guajome, in northern San Diego county, one of the old Spanish grants in California, has developed into a very fertile and productive territory, declares Major T. Wolcott, in an article, "The House Near the Frog Pond," which appears in the December issue of Touring Topics, official publication of the Automobile Club of Southern California. The author states that the rancho was originally the property of Mission San Luis Rey, some three miles to the northwest. Later it is said that Plico while governor ad interim in 1845 gave the Buena Vihta and Guajome grants to Christian Indians of the Mission. These owners died before the United States Land commission arrived. Their wives, according to the story, after some difficulty in having the grant confirmed, sold Guajomita as they called it. (Little Frog Pond) to Don Abel Stearns, for $550. Stearns in turn gave it to his daughter-in-law, who married Colonel Couts. Their oldest son, Cave J. Couts, now owns and occupies it. Guajome Rancho it is said was one of the most typical of the California establishments. Colonel Couts, a Virginian, and his wife, Dona Ysidora, formerly a Bandini, were able managers of the estate and it has always prospered, according to the author. Motor Division Is Swamped This Week Applications for New Licenses Overwhelming Clerks A veritable flood of applications for 1929 license plates poured into the offices of the Division of Motor Vehicles Monday from all parts of California, signaling the opening of the annual registration renewal season. The trickle which began last week assumed the proportions of a flood Monday morning when Division clerks turned to the task of assorting the contents of a score of huge sacks of weekend mail from motorists who obeyed the admonition to "get in early and avoid the rush." Division officials estimate at least 250,000 applications will have been received by the end of the week. Prompt delivery of plates by mail is assured after December 15th as all applications are being tabulated in the order in which they are received while a big force of typists is preparing 1929 registration certificates to be forwarded with the new orange and black plates. Although counter deliveries will begin on December 15th, the state officials are making a special effort to get as many motorists as possible to submit applications by mail, pointing out that this is the easiest, simplest and quickest method of securing the plates. Checking over the applications received to date, Division clerks discovered that, in spite of repeated warnings, many motorists had sent currency in payment of the registration fee instead of money orders, bank drafts and certified checks, as requested. It was also believed that many others had failed to heed the warning to print in changes of address on the face of the certificate of registration. This is very important inasmuch as plates are mailed to the address shown on the certificate. The fee and the certificate of registration showing the proper address is all that is required in making application for plates. Motorists will be at liberty to display the plates on their vehicles at any time after they are received. RIVERS AND HARBORS Improvement of river and harbor projects throughout the country and their maintenance will require $50,-781,580, exclusive of Mississippi river flood control work, during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1930. Major General Edgar Jadwin submitted estimates of the various projects to congress, with his annual report showing that $47,295,276 was expended on those projects in the year which ended June 30, 1928, and that $73,181,-490 was available for the work during the current year which ends June 30, 1929.

CIVILIZATION TODAY It is doubtful that many really stop to consider how much we who live in the year 1928 really have to be thankful for. Only by comparing our condition with that of our ancestors may we realize what our present-day civilization really means. Two or three centuries ago only the aristocrats had any material comforts to speak of. The average person toiled long hours to earn the barest necessities of life, with no luxuries. Few had sufficient food or clothing; disease was unchecked and suffering was unrelieved. Education was denied to the great mass of the population, while the natural aspirations of mankind were stifled. During all the centuries the great majority were born to virtual enslavement of both body and mind, through the domination of cruel masters And rulers. Human beings here shown less consideration than beasts, and human life was held as the world's cheapest commodity. How different today, although man's inhumanity to man still causes much needless suffering. At least we have emerged from barbarism and there is more of sympathy and charity and helpfulness in the world than ever before. The working man today has luxuries not dreamed of in the past. He has ample clothing, shelter and food; many have automobiles and a radio set; he may enjoy the movies and other amusements; books, newspapers and magazines are within his reach. As a recent writer has said, "the truth is we are all of us living in luxury, a very grand form of luxury, as compared with conditions in every other country, or with conditions that existed in this country even a few decades ago."

Anaheim - Fullerton Creamery Telephones: Anaheim 666 Fullerton 151 U. S. AGENTS ROB INDIANS At the conclusion of a personal investigation into the condition of the Indians on the various small reservations in Riverside county, Senators Lynn Frazier and William B. Pine left for Salt Lake City to resume hearings into Indian affairs. Both senators, forming a sub-committee of the senate committee on Indian affairs, were outspoken in their lenunciation of the conditions under which they had found the Indians living on the reservations in Riverside county. Senator Pine particularly condemned the treatment of the Indians by their white masters and the agents generally. The redskins, he declared, were existing in direct poverty and have been relentlessly robbed of almost all their possessions. The worst possible sanitary conditions prevail, he declared, and educational facilities are not much better. On the Toro reservation on the edge of the Coachella valley, Senator Pine stated he found the irrigation system provided for the government's wards crippled and virtually non-existent. A power company had moved in, he declared, and tapped their reservoir on the project or another, leaving them virtually without water. The entire system of handling the Indians under the Indian bureau he described as obsolete and brutal. No improvement can be effected, he prophesied, until an honest and fearless administration of Indian affairs cannot be obtained. The same conditions prevail almost throughout the nation, he said, and the Indians are suffering horribly as a result. The very agents appointed to guard them sell out the Indians repeatedly, he declared.
