The Old, Old Quest Venice, Italy, announces that a medical savant in that city has discovered a simple method of combating old age and renewing youth. He transfuses the blood of young, healthy persons into the veins of the aging or decrepit; whereupon the clock of time is turned back and the specter of senility allinks away. Of course it isn't true—not in any such literal sense as the credulous and wistful would believe. New blood may temporarily stimulate the bodily functions, but it can't make a new human being out of an old one. The decline of the body is as inevitable as its development, a part of the process of nature which takes all her growing products from seed to bud, from bloom to fruit and from fruit to seed again. For a certain period of years we grow towards maturity. Once we reach the apex of growth we begin to go the other way: some scientists assert that the average human being really begins to die at fourteen to sixteen years. Yet the quest for lost youth is as old as the records of men. One explorer led an expedition all the way from Spain to Florida, braving the terrors of unknown seas and savage tribes to find the fountain of renewal. Few men and women have not at some time in the sunset years of life echoed the poignant cry of Jean Paul, "O days of my youth, return!" Thousands of men brilliant enough to accumulate great wealth have spent large sums of money and undergone serious physical hazards in the hope that European geniuses might halt the inroads of years by the installation of monkey glands! The quest that once relied upon superstition as its guide now calls upon science. It is perfectly natural that human beings should cling desperately to youth and that old age should dream hopefully of recapturing it. For it is only in the after years—when youth has fled beyond recall—that memory's glamorous aura reminds us of the preciousness of youth. Not being able to turn back the clock, we find ourselves trying to find comfort in simulating youth. If we cannot have the substance, we will take the shadow. We "cheat" about our ages; we adopt the artifices of tailor, dressmaker, barber and cosmetician. Mexican Unrest Over Registration Misunderstand the New Law Now In Effect A bulletin of general interest to the citrus industry has just been sent to all California Fruit Growers' Exchange shippers by Paul S. Armstrong, assistant general manager of the exchange explaining the situation of our nation among Mexican labor occasioned by misunderstanding of the new registration law. The bulletin follows: Advice has come to us from several districts recently of a considerable unrest among Mexican labor, apparently due to a misunderstanding of the intent and application of an act of Congress approved March 2, 1929, and effective July 1, 1929, concerning registration of aliens. We quote below letter addressed to the agricultural department of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce by Walter E. Carr, district director, United States Department of Labor, Immigration Service. You will not that this act is permissive and not compulsory; that failure to take advantage of its provisions does not affect in any way the status of any alien, and that no alien will be deported because of not availing himself of the advantages offered by this act. We are also reliably informed that the withdrawal of Mexican labor from this area at the present time is due in some measure to the activity of labor agents who are now here recruiting labor for the industrial and seasonal demands of the middlewest. The letter from Director Carr follows: "Responding to your inquiries regarding the operation and effect of the Act of Congress, approved March 2, 1929, permit me to advise: Taht this act renders it possible for aliens, whose entry to the United States prior to June 3, 1921, for any cause whatsoever, be verified, and who have resided continuously in the United States since any date prior to June 3, 1921, to apply to the nearest Immigration office with a view of having their residence in the United States organized."

STATE quest that once relied upon superstition as its guide now calls upon science. It is perfectly natural that human beings should cling desperately to youth and that old age should dream hopefully of recapturing it. For it is only in the after years—when youth has fled beyond recall—that memory's glorious aura reminds us of the preciousness of youth. Not being able to turn back the clock, we find ourselves trying to find comfort in simulating youth. If we cannot have the substance, we will take the shadow. We "cheat" about our ages; we adopt the artifices of tailor, dressmaker, barber and cosmetician to produce the outward semblance of what is lacking within. We fool others, perhaps, but we cannot fool ourselves; the sands in the hour-glass are relentless and inexorable. But the battle against old age has not been by any means fruitless. Science has had its part in our gains against Father Time, not by means of glands or transfusions or magic powders, but by adding to the safety of life, the comforts of existence and the worth-whileness of living. We have stretched the expectancy period by more than a decade. We have eliminated much of the strain of labor and the ravages of the elements. Greatest of all, we have intensified the mental and spiritual qualities of existence until men and women are able to find rest in the inner phases of life long after the merely physical turrils have ceased to move them. The Will to Youth—as the German Nietzsche would have termed it—is setting forward the span of age and keeping men and women young at three-score and ten where their forbears were hopelessly old at fifty. The black cap of the grandmother and the sombre alpaca coat of the grandfather of two generations since have given way to the apparel which denies senility's encroachments. The knitting needle is succeeded by the club calendar, the cane by the golf stick. We may not be able to halt age, but we refuse to go out to meet it. George Bernard Shaw's "Back to Mehuselah" hints of a race attaining an age of 300 years. But his prescription calls for a humanity wholly intellectual, freed from all indulgence and emotion. It is a utopian dream and one of doubtful value even if realizable, for men and women attaining the elephant's span of existence with no more perception of life's lights and shades than the jungle monster, would still be cheated of reality. The philosopher will still rather take his cue from Browning's optimism—"the best is yet to be, the last of life for which the first was made." The perfect antidote for old age, of course, is continued and uninterrupted spiritual growth, with every experience and every fresh bit of knowledge adding to the fullness of life. Even thus, four-score may still look back yearningly at twenty-one; but it will find compensations in the fullness of years which the rebellious can never hope to know. Miss Winifred Melrose received a cablegram on Tuesday from her sister. Tahl this act renders it possible for aliens, whose entry to the United States prior to June 3, 1921, for any cause whatsoever, be verified, and who have resided continuously in the United States since any date prior to June 3, 1921, to apply to the nearest Immigration office with a view of having their residence in the United States organized and appropriately reflected in the official records as of the date of last entry, whether that entry was legal or not; That, this procedure will cost the applicant $20,000 which amount will be refunded if for any reason, the resignation is not accomplished; That this is merely an opportunity offered such aliens and is not in any way compulsory; That failure to take advantage of the provisions of the act does not in any way affect the status of any alien; That no alien will be deported because of not availing himself of the advantages offered by the act; That, naturalization is never compulsory, therefore registration does not compel an alien to naturalize, although it will render naturalization possible; That an alien does not have to leave the country to register, but merely goes to the nearest Immigration office whether located at the border or in the interior, where helpful instruction will be cheerfully given; That there is not now in progress, nor is there in contemplation, any excessive activity looking to the deportation of any aline; And that, the ac referred to does not in any way affect or have any bearing upon the status of alens who entered the United States subsequent to June 3, 1921. Some of Lloyd George's glowing British political promises sound to like they had been made out of material furnished by some of our own professional farm relievers.

Miss Winifred Melrose received a cablegram on Tuesday from her sister, Mrs. Jessie Backs, who, with her husband and daughter, Florence, is en route to the Hawaiian islands for a summer vacation trip. "We are in mid-ocean. All well," the communication stated. Johnny Newsom, a former resident here, employed at the meat packing-house, died at a Los Angeles hospital some days ago at the age of 39. His friends state that his despondency since the death of his wife which occurred a year ago, was the cause of his illness. He had a wide circle of friends here.

Schedule Sprayer Demonstration Commercial and private spray operators will be interested in an educational demonstration to be held by the Agricultural Extension Service, at the Orange county sunigation yard, south Glassell street, Orange, at 2 p.m. Monday, July 8th. J. P. Fairbank, extension specialist in agricultural engineering from the University of California, will demonstrate mechanical care and adjustment of the equipment. He will be prepared to test pressure gauges, so anyone wishing to have such done are welcome to bring their gauges to the meeting. Roy Bishop, deputy horticultural commissioner will discuss spray application. Fortunate it is that things of the greatest value and usefulness do not cost in proportion to that value. For example, the Telephone. What would its cost be, if charged for in ratio to its usefulness—this convenient instrument that broadens your social contacts, summons the doctor, opens your door to business profits, or lets you hear the voice of a loved one far away? If no telephone had ever been seen in this city, and such a service were suddenly created, THE PACIFIC TELEPHONE AND TELEPHONE Poultrymen Hold Annual Institute Many Orange county poultrymen will attend the annual institute to be held this year at Gainesha Park, Pomona, Friday, July 12.

STATE'S BARBER SHOPS Although Californians certainly are not hair brained, they evidently are overwhelmingly hair minded. And providing for investigation by the University of California of the Klamath weed, which has appeared in Skilvoy and other far-northern farmers' bills now state laws Many Acts For Benefit of the Agriculturist What it is hoped by various sponsors will be new safety guarantees for the California farmer—insurance against wholesale livestock thefts, protection from unscrupulous dealers, safeguards for the buyer of farm property, and many other agricultural measures—were written into California's statute books with the recent closing of the bill-signing period. Here are some of the high spots of the agricultural program, as finally approved: Jost bill, requiring a permit to destroy foodstuffs, aimed to halt the bikiling of farmers by dishonest commission men who sell products, reporting to the farmer that they were dumped. Ingels hide and brand amendments, to stop widespread cattle thieving; requires the registration of persons hauling live stocks and permits inspection of suspicious shipments. Noyes bill, to protect buyers of farm properties against old tax debts not known to the purchaser; limits the delinquent tax collection to thirty years back, rather than fifty and sixty years. Bernard canned fruit standardization bill improves canned fruit standards by providing for a lower classification than "seconds" to handle inferior fruits, the classification to be known as "water." Jost economic poison registration bill giving the state director of agriculture power to refuse to register sprays and other farm remedies which fail to stand analysis. Scudder apple standardization bill placing apples in the regular fruit and vegetable standardization act and providing that standards are to be enforced by county horticultural commissioners as well as by the state. Fisher act, providing for investigation by the University of California of the Klamath weed, which has appeared in Skilvoy and other far-northern farmers' bills now state laws STATE'S BARBER SHOPS Although Californians certainly are not hair brained, they evidently are overwhelmingly hair minded. And there's a difference. As a matter of fact they perhaps should be called hair cut minded or whisker minded. Figures revealed by Joe Steele, owner of a barber shop, showed that it takes a great many tonsorial experts to keep men and women of this state shaved and trimmed to suit their taste. The figures revealed showed that there are more barbers in California than in the combined states of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, Utah and Colorado. On June 1, 1928, there were 19,465 barbers in the Golden state. This total was reported to Steele recently by B. A. Lovett, inspector, and C. E. Rynearson, secretary for the state board of barber examiners. Lovett and Rynearson were in Santa Ana on a regular tour of inspection. Practically all the state's barbers are licensed, the figure being 18,700. One hundred and seventy-five barbers are working on permit while 888 are apprentees, according to information given to Steele. Evidence that the state board of barber examiners is functioning in such a way as to assure Californians of the best shop conditions, was seen in the announcement that between July 1, 1928, and June 1, 1929, a total of 102 shops were closed because of unsanitary conditions. A number of these places reopened later after their method of operation had been changed. Steele said. Patrons of barber shops are entitled to clean towels and tools, sterilized before use. Steele pointed out.
