A. J. Willey of Boise, Idaho, consulting engineer of the U.S. reclamation service, and Charles H. Paul of Dayton, O., consulting engineer specializing on flood control and dam construction, and F. C. Herrmann of San Francisco, consulting engineer specializing in water supply, irrigation and flood control, are here to consult with Bailey. This group was selected by the board of supervisors to assist Bailey in the final stages of this big task. The arrival of the group focused attention on the work which Bailey and his corps of assistants have been filing with the board of Wiley, Herrmann and Paul, the tentative plans here in which they will return to and digest the information later they will come to again and the final report will be for presentation to the board pervisors. Upon the filing of and consideration of the reservation, the way will be open presentation of the project to the Christian Science Church. The Lesson-Sermon on the subject, "Life," Sunday in all churches of Christ Scientist, branches of the Mother church, the First Church of Christ Scientist, in Boston, Mass., opens with the golden text, "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16). The scriptural selections which are read include verses from Matthew XIX: "And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And He said unto him, why callest thou me good? there is is none good but one, that is, God; but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the ments." Following the Bible passages will be read from "Science Health with Key to the Scripture Mary Baker Eddy, including this moment is to prove the word Master: 'If a man keep my words never see death.'"

The fundamentals of Oldsmobile design have not been radically changed. It is the fine car that has already proved itself by millions of miles of dependable service in the hands of thousands of owners but with added refinements. Oldsmobile's big high-compression engine now delivers 62 horsepower. The piston pins are now pressure lubricated—an engineering feature herefore characteristic of high-priced cars. And this is typical of the fine-car standards which have been maintained throughout the design and manufacture of this finer Oldsmobile. Interiors have been made more luxurious. Upholsteries are richer and more costly. Seat cushions are deeper and softer. Further, Oldsmobile has the wonderful new Fisher adjustable front seat, which may be moved instantly forward or backward, simply by teurning the seat-regulator. This feature, together with Oldsmobile's adjustable steering wheel, provides a new order of comfort for the driver. Frahm Oldsmobile Co. 420 S.

She is 152 pounds and is 5 feet 3½ inches tall. Invents Apparatus For Training Voice U.S.C. Instructor Has Made a Valuable Discovery. It Is Claimed "Without vibrato a singing voice is conditionally cold but an uncontrolled instrument can produce results in a quaver or a soiled trumpet," states Dr. Arnold Wagner, chairman of the Public School Music Department of the University of Southern California, who has just completed a three-years' intensive research experiment to put control of the vibrato in voice training upon a scientific basis. Using a personally constructed voice training instrument which reveals to the ears facts of tone which escape detection by the ear, Dr. Wagner found that the natural rate of vocal quavers can be harnessed to rhythm and slowed down or speeded up, as much as from 4.4 to 7.7 pulsations a second. Employing super sensitive moving picture film on a revolving disc to photograph the pitch waves of calm and oscillated singing, Dr. Wagner had to die. DEATH OF MISS SUSANNE PFAADT Miss Susanne Pfaadt died at the home of uncle Mr. and Mrs. S. Couter street, after months. Miss Pfandt Herlessheim, Alsace, resided in Anaheim she was aged 27 years.

For the first time this son Play is presented by organ accompaniment unique glamour to the der direction of Hodgson the next run. Following the Bible passages, selections will be read from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy, including the following: "Man's privilege at this supreme moment is to prove the words of our master: 'If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death'." (P. 428). The future of aviation was the subject which the Kiwians heard discussed at their weekly luncheon Tuesday. Major T. C. McAulay, a veteran flyer, was the speaker, and he predicted that within a few years most of the traveling would be done by airplanes. Considering the remarkable endurance flight of the Question Mark, the speaker declared that the earth could now be kindled in ten days. The storm Tuesday night added 45 of an inch of water to the season's total, which now reaches 4.17. Last year at this date it was 8.10. Try this: Place an unopened can of salmon in a saucepan surrounded by boiling water, to heat for 10 or 15 minutes. While this is cooking, prepare a boiled salad dressing. When opening the can of fish, place a cloth over most of the can, make a small hole in the top to allow the steam to escape, and cut around the entire edge so that the fish can slide out without breaking, onto a hot platter. Pour the hot dressing over the salmon, sprinkle with finely chopped parsley, and serve at once. Fresh salmon may also be simmered and served in the same way. O. E. Steward has been ill with the flu for some time past, but is able to be out again and is gradually recovering his health. Miss Lela and Miss Irma Steadman have been ill with flu for a week or more past, but have recovered. Miss Irma has resumed her teaching in the public schools and Miss Lela is continuing her music lessons. Mrs. F. C. James entertained the Ladies' Euchre Club at the regular meeting on Thursday afternoon, at her home on South Olive street. Mrs. Grim won the first prize at cards and Mrs. George Hamler the consolation. Delicious refreshments were served after the game. Mrs. Louise Backs will entertain at the next meeting, which will be the second Thursday in February. Orthophonie records of the unaccompanied tones of nine well-known concert and operatic singers, covering soprano, tenor, contralto and bass ranges, were used as models for the laboratory analysis, including Maria Jeritza, Chalapin, Rosa Ponselle, Martinnell, Lucy Mursh, Royal Dadnun, d'Alvarez, Lambert Murphy and Caruso. In the experiment, the voices of ten pre-adolescent boys and about forty graduate students in psychology and vocal students in S. C. College of Music were recorded before and after training. During the study Professor Wagner visited the recording laboratories of the Victor, Columbia and Edison companies, where his idea was greeted with interest. Innsmith as uncontrolled vibrato cannot be recorded for successful reproduction. The experiment was carried on and tested at Columbia University, the University of Southern California, and in the State University of Iowa with the collaboration of the eminent psychologist Dean Carl Emil Seashore. It has been endorsed as practical by sound specialists, psychologists and scientists. After ten experiments making phonographible records of original control, practice, and final tenes, Dr. Wagner clearly established the possibilities for control and retraining of vibrators already existing in voices, and that pre-adolescent boys and adults of both sexes can be taught the production of the vibrato; giving emotional warmth and color to the voice, which signally enhances the beauty of singing, and adds to the enjoyment of vocal programs. Scrambling For License Plates Officials of the Division of Motor Vehicles estimated Monday that more than a million Californians had made application for their new automobile license plates since the renewal season opened a month ago. A large part of these have already received their plates; it was stated, either directly over the counters or Mrs. F. C.

CONVALESCING Miss Winifred Melrose, who has been seriously ill with pneumonia for two weeks past, is slowly recovering and will doubtless soon be able to leave her sick room. She was able yesterday to sit up in bed and hopes are entertained for her speedy recovery. Two physicians, a Los Angeles specialist and two nurses have been in attendance. While still weak her fever is gone and she breathes easier. Her many friends will be rejoiced to know that she has passed the crisis and is gradually improving. Anxiety was felt for her condition a week ago, but this is happily past and she will probably soon be well again. Materials to Build $1392 SATISFACTION GUARANTEED...

Division branches are located in Oakland, San Francisco, El Paso, Los Angeles, Long Beach and San Diego. SEASONAL EMPLOYMENT When the hands of America's great industrial organizations realize additional labor cuts they manage then will there be hope for reminding at least some of the flair and social injustice. Chief among them is the brutality of seasonal employment—a brine to the individual and injurious to society as a whole. Toward the elimination of this greatest of injustices to the worker, some of the larger industrial organizations have made considerable progress since the war. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad Prior to the war it peopled to hire thousands on rush periods and on as business slowed post-war depression of 300,000 men and not given steady employment in more or less fields of employment.

Kistler on East Center street, after an illness of several months. Miss Pfadt was a native of Herrlesheim, Alsace-Lorraine and has resided in Anaheim for seven years. She was aged 27 years. Requiem high mass was sung at St. Monica Catholic church at 9 o'clock Thursday, interment being made at Calvary cemetery, Los Angeles. Surviving deceased, besides Mr. and Mrs. Kistler are her mother, Mrs. Rodelle Pfadt; two sisters, Mrs. Marie Kiff and Mrs. Josephine Schaeffer, all of Herrlesheim; an uncle, Jacob P. Pfadt, of Louisville, Ky.; and a cousin, Karl Lutz of Chico, Calif. Artists Prepare For Mission Play With the 189 artists in the Mission Bay cast, giving the finest presentation of the historic production in its 18th century newly appointed field director, Jean's career at San Gabriel, L.H. reports that an increasing number of curious civic and commercial organization parties are being planned by donors and clubs throughout Southern California for employees, members and guests. Mr. Boydston has established Los Angeles headquarters for the Mission Play at 367 Chamber of Commerce building, with the co-operation of the local chamber of commerce, he is assisting many committee in planning their entertainment programs for coming conventions. Special rates have been arranged for in addition to the play itself, a visit to parties attending the Mission Play, and San Gabriel includes a tour of the Old Mission, lunch under the historic mother grape-vine, amid quaint and colorful early California atmosphere, and a visit to the ancient art galleries and Indian craft shops, now being restored and remodeled for the better preservation and exhibition of relics and souvenirs of the beginning of civilization in the west. For the first time this year, the Mission Play is presented with synchronized organ accompaniment, which lends unique glamour to the production. Under the direction of Florence Jefferson Madison the new musical director who What Farmers Did During Past Year Federal Department Says It Was Year of Ups and Downs Characterizing the past year in agriculture as one of "ups and downs," the bureau of agricultural economics, United States department of agriculture in its January issue of "The Agricultural Situation," declares that "the events of 1928 remind us once more that agriculture in this country is a regional industry." "Progress has been largely a sectional matter. The cattle and sheep sections of the west have had an other encouraging season. The cotton felt has done fairly well. The dairy industry has done well. But the potato growers and many wheat growers found it a very lean year." The total average harvested of the chief crops was 251,000,000 acres nearly 1,400,000 acres more than in 1927. Total crop output was about three per cent more than in 1927. The total value of the principal crops based upon December 1 prices is placed at $84,300,000 compared with $83,200,000 a year ago. The bureau points out how certain a considerable portion of the crops will be fed and sold as livestock products, thus somewhat enhancing their final value. "The decline in wheat prices," says the bureau, "is not necessarily in this fall. According to the December estimate, about nine per cent less in net average was seen this fall than last. But, with average abandonment this winter, this would still leave a little more wheat area to harvest next summer than was harvested in 1928. Low potato mean a smaller planting this coming year, judging from the intention expressed by southern growers to plant a 25 per cent smaller acreage this spring than last. "The livestock industries have shown up better than the cash crops the past year. Hog prices were below expectations this fall due to heavy runs to market, slower movement of products, and heavy stocks of hard in storage, but cattle raisers have fared reasonably well and the same may be said of sheep and dairy producers." "It is estimated that about 20 per Special Days at S. B. Orange Show Designation of the various special days set aside in honor of organizations and communities in Southern California during the National Orange Show, to be held in San Bernardino, February 14-24, is rapidly being completed by executives of the great citrus classic. One of the biggest days is expected to be February 24, closing day of the show, which is dedicated to the American Legion Posts. It is expected that the bugle and drum corps contest will draw at least fifteen different organizations. An effort is being made to bring National Commander Paul V. McNutt to the show as well as state officers of the American Legion. Saturday, February 16, is set aside as newspaper men's day. The California Newspaper Publishers Association will be entertained at a luncheon at the California hotel. Dolores Del Rio, famed Mexican movie star, will be a guest. Scions will observe the day with concerts by several Sciot bands. Another big day will be February 22, when Elk lodges of Southern California and Exchange Club members from many cities will hold meglings. Lions Club day will be February 21 and Kiwanis Club day February 20. Special days will be assigned to Long Beach, Santa Monica, Los Angeles county, Riverside, Orange, San Diego, Imperial and Ventura counties. All space is sold in the show and with a score of beautiful feature exhibits in a grecian setting, the midwinter classic is expected to be the most beautiful ever presented by the organization. All that officials are braying for now, much as rain is needed, is just a fair break in weather conditions. CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. L. T. Barkman, Minister 209 S.

The fellow who makes money on the stock market is the one who can see the breakers ahead in time to put on his swimming suit. In five years has reduced its labor turnover from 20 per cent to 10 per cent, and much of the present turnover is due to the employee rather than to the employer. Prior to the war it was thought to be proper to hire thousands of men during the rush period and to lay them off as soon as business slowed up. During this post-war depression the railroads labelled 300,000 men and many others were not given steady employment. This was true in more or less degree in other fields of employment. A realization that out of the economic system of the United States a unit of social responsibility has been created caused big business to develop a will toward stabilized employment. Keeping a more steady force has been a good thing for both capital and labor. For a Youthful Complexion SHARI Beauty Cream A non-greasy cream for a face powder base.
