Girls Commended As Fire Fighters Eighty Campfire Girls, appropriately dubbed "the milddy blouse brigade" by state forest rangers, were singled out by State Forester M. B. Pratt for special commendation as a result of their success in combatting a fire which started in the timber belt near their Nevada county camp. Mobilized as an emergency fire-fighting organization by Mrs. Hope Taber Winkler, temporarily in charge during the absence of their camp supervisor, Miss Helena Silver, the eighty girls fought and conquered the blaze with "the weapons at hand," according to Pratt. When State Ranger W. F. Sharp arrived on the scene, Pratt said, he found a bloomer-clad troop of girls beating out the final trace of fire with their middy blouses. Eighty blackened blouses, and a scattered array of buckets and dishpans testified as to the means employed in extinguishing the fire before it could spread from the pine needles to the brush and trees. These girls, by their willingness to tackle a hard job and ruin their clothes have given new proof that Californians are becoming 'fire conscious' and real conservationists," affirmed the forester. "Women, in fact, seem to be awakening to a fine sense of responsibility for their out-door playgrounds before the men. This story is a pleasing contrast to the one disclosed in another northern county, just recently, where our rangers found that a camper who allowed his campfire to escape had fled in such haste that he left his camp equipment and some of his clothes behind him." A surplus of nearly two hundred millions at the end of the fiscal year and a record of reducing the national debt over a half billion, indicates that Uncle Andy Mellon hasn't lost his batting eye. Skeletons are on the free list in the new tariff bill. This ought to enable every family to have one.

Porter and family of Fullerton are enjoying an outing in their cottage at Newport Beach, where they are enjoying sea bathing, and Mr. Porter is striving to break the record of champion fisherman with fair prospects of success. A happy party of picnickers motored down to Laguna Beach on Wednesday where they spent the day. They returned in the evening, after partaking of a picnic supper on the beach. Those in the party were Miss Winifred Melrose, Miss Esther Grewco, Mrs. Singleton, Mrs. Zeppenfeld, Mrs. Konig, Esther and Marian Zeppenfeld and Dlek Melrose. Clayton Allen and family left on Sunday for a two weeks' outing in the northern part of the state. They will visit many points of interest and look for an interesting trip. Mrs. A. J. Lawton, well known club woman and civic leader of Los Angeles was recently appointed by Mayor Porter a member of the civil service commission of that city. Mrs. Lawton has many friends in this county, having resided in both Anaheim and Santa Ana prior to removing to oLs Angeles, and they will be happy to hear of this recognition of her abilities. Bill Cook, coach of football and track at Santa Ana J. C., is spending the summer with his wife at Laguna Beach where the Cooks are building a beach home. He and Mrs. Cook were in town early in the week. Mr. and Mrs. A. Pierotti and family of Placentia are spending the summer at their cottage at Newport Beach. They enjoy surf bathing every day and are having a very enjoyable outing. They will return next month, when school begins. California Oil Company Expanding Aged Chinaman Awaiting Trial Wong Keong, the aged Chinaman charged with possession of more than the legal amount of opium, was given his preliminary hearing Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock before Judge Eldon W Stark, and was held to answer to the superior court. Ball was set at $3,000, which Wong was unable to furnish. A. S. Robinson and Otto Schenske of the state narcotic detail who, in company with Captain Marcus Andrade of the Anaheim police department, made the raid which resulted in the Chinaman's arrest, were witnesses. They were accompanied by an interpreter as Wong Keong understands and speaks but little English. Wong Keong, whose name was supposed to be Wong Kem or Wong Cum, was placed in the Orange county hospital under the care of a physician, as he is said to have smoked opium for the past half century. Officers feared that suddenly deprived of the drug, serious consequences might result. FINE GRANDSON ARRIVES Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Borchert were apprised by telegram on Sunday morning of the arrival of a fine grandson, Richard Murray Bland, at the home of their daughter, Mrs. George Murray Bland, at Berkeley, the new-comer having put in his appearance earlier in the day. Mrs. Bland was formerly Miss June Borchert, a lovely girl who had many admirers. She was married in Berkeley a year or more ago to a rising young business man of that city. Mother and child are doing well. Mrs. Borchert contentulates proceeding north in a week or so to give her first grandson the once over. OUR MURDER RATE California is regarded as a peaceable state with reasonably good law enforcement according to American standards. But the Pasadena Star-News, after looking up the homicide statistics, says that California averages a murder a day and has so averaged for several years. Gus Sonnenberg At Santa Ana Dartmouth Wrestling Champion Guest at Inter-fraternity Dinner Anahelm college fraternity men who journeyed over to Santa Ana to the monthly meeting of the Orange County Inter-fraternity Association, last Monday, were privileged to meet and hear from Gus Sonnenberg, heavyweight wrestling champion of the world and a former Dartmouth College football player. Monday night was Kappa Sigma night and its alumni members in the county provided the program. As Sonnenberg is a Kappa Sigma, he agreed to be present and his talk on wrestling was interesting to hear. He told of his endeavors to make the game straight so that it would rise in popular opinion. In the last few months Gus said he amassed a cool million dollars. Unlike boxing the champion said wrestling builds one up rather than tears him down, and voiced the opinion that it was probably the best exercise for toning one's body that there is. Champion Gus, seemingly affected with California climate, closed his remarks by saying it was his intention to return to Southern California to live when he had quit wrestling. Kappa Sigma men rounded out the evening's entertainment, and the recent National Kappa Sigma convention at Los Angeles was discussed. Death of Mrs. Herman Melcher Mrs. Herman Melcher of Culver City, formerly Miss Muzzy of this city, died on Monday evening last and was buried on Friday morning. Funeral services were held in the Little Church of the Flowers in Glendale. Mrs. Melcher had been in ill health for some time, but death occurred suddenly. Mr. Melcher was called from Yuma, Ariz., where he is engaged in the construction of a high school building, and arrived several days before his wife passed away.

Richfield Oil Corporation of New York, a subsidiary of the Richfield Oil Company of California, has developed wide retail distribution in New York, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Connecticut, and will have a number of ocean and bulk distributing terminals throughout the territory which it serves. Mother and child are doing well. Mrs. Borchert contemplates proceeding north in a week or so to give her first grandson the once over. OUR MURDER RATE California is regarded as a peaceable state with reasonably good law enforcement according to American standards. But the Pasadena Star-News, after looking up the homicide statistics, says that California averages a murder a day and has so averaged for several years. This is an astounding statement and one which ought to visualize for the most indifferent the terrific toll of crime in the state. To explain it probably would be to explain the general situation throughout the country and to give the basis for President Hoover's declaration that we have undergone a subsidence of our moral foundations. Back of it, however, we are convinced that the analyst will find one fact: namely, the lack of certainty of punishment for crime. "Getting away with murder" used to be only a figure of speech descriptive of successful audacity in many undertakings. Now it describes a literal fact which appears in communities all over the United States. Many times more persons "get away with murder" than those who pay the actual penalty for the crime. Until punishment is swift and certain, the appalling murder rate will continue. Death of Mrs. Herman Melcher Mrs. Herman Melcher of Culver City, formerly Miss Muzzy of this city, died on Monday evening last and was buried on Friday morning. Funeral services were held in the Little Church of the Flowers in Glendale. Mrs. Melcher had been in ill health for some time, but death occurred suddenly. Mr. Melcher was called from Yuma, Ariz., where he is engaged in the construction of a high school building, and arrived several days before his wife passed away. Mrs. Melcher was for a number of years a popular employee of Falkenstein's Department store until her marriage some ten years ago. She leaves besides her husband, one child, a daughter five years of age, to mourn her loss. Mr. and Mrs. Kurt Epstein, Mrs. Herman Backs and Mrs. Mary Mickel attended the funeral services. JULY BRINGS IN MONEY Chief J. S. Bouldin today turned in to City Treasurer Chas. Booge a check for $10,603.40 for city licenses collected during July. For dog licenses he collected $23.50 for the city treasury. The total number of dogs and cats who were given their tickets to the next world because of homelessness here has not yet been computed. RIPE FRUIT SPOTS ON CITRUS FRUIT The occurrence of brown or black spots on this season has caused much concern to growers. Field observations have shown the following... new location Center Street A. Baldwin South Motor Cars complete service facilities Center Street neim, Calif. "Bill of Fax at Sacramento America's Great Horticulture Manufacturing Minimum and Livestock Disc One month from today California's Diamond Jubilee State Fair will be under way. For the past year the State Agricultural Society has been planning the notable event. Celebrating the 75th anniversary of the first California State Fair, results: 1. Some spots plainly due to fumigation burn, characteristically dark, sunken and not enlarging. 2. A few spots showing a "sunburned" appearance following lime sulphur spraying for spider worm injury, due to Tortrix and other. 3. A considerable amount of orange orange worms. 4. A large number of brown spots, varying from small to quite large, enlarging slowly, only skin deep, from light brown to quite dark, almost always on the upper half or stem end of the orange. These last are plainly the ones of which complaint is made. These dark spots are not the same as "Brown Spot" described by Fawcett and Lee in "Citrus Diseases and their Control," and by Smith in Bulletin 218 of the California Experiment Station, which is definitely a disease of picked and packed or stored fruit. They are not quite the same as Smith's "Shoulder Spot" but are related to it in cause and development. They are typically a trouble of ripening fruit and are abundant this year perhaps because of conditions which led to early ripening or at least early coloring of the crop, perhaps also because many trees carried an overload of fruit, weakening the tree and producing some of the characteristics of premature ripening. When an orange ripens, reaches the end of its normal life and begins to deteriorate, it weakens first at the stem end. If the weakening occurs before the fruit is picked it becomes subject to disease first, in its upper half, and upon the slightest provocation may be infected with fungi or may even develop "spots" in which no infection can be found. Fawcett points out that at least three fungi, Colletotrichum, Alternaria and Fusarium may produce spots of this general character under such conditions, or may enter and infect spots due to injuries even if very slight. The presence of a fungus is not proof that it was the primary cause of the spotting.

"Pain is a blessing in disguise," according to Dr. Charles H. Wood, general convention chairman. "It is the danger signal, which telegraphically warns mankind there is something wrong in some definitely located tissue." War on all physical discomfort will constitute the keynote of the convention, the general chairman said. The best minds of the chiropractic profession, hailing from almost all states in this country, will devote hours of discussion, he stated, toward banishment of humanity's suffering. A convention highlight will be a "physical perfection" or "perfect back" contest, to select a young man and a young woman to stand as "California's best." Photographs and statuary will be made of the winning pair, to be sent chiropractic centers throughout the country. Hundreds of applicants have registered for the contest at the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic, where the "BILL OF FAIR" at Sacramento America's Greatest HORTICULTURAL MANUFACTURING MINING and LIVESTOCK DISPLAY! —C.N.P.A.Service the exposition this year will be more spectacular, more magnificent than ever before. And it will be more than a State Fair — it will be an exposition representative of entire west, with California featuring states and Mexico occupying one of the immense pavilions with striking displays of their products and resources. All California will benefit from this record-breaking anniversary exposition, and all Californians should rally behind it enthusiastically.
