January Drought Predicted by Ricard Father Jerome Ricard, University of Santa Clara Padre of the Rain in his January weather forecast based upon the sun-spot theory, promises little or no rain in California for this month. Oregon and Washington, however, he predicts, will receive rain and snow, starting with a slight disturbance January 1 and 2, increasing in intensity January 3, 4, and 5, continuing January 6 and 7, passing to the eastward January 8, 9, and 10. On January 15, 16 and 17 there will be more rain and snow. On January 18, 19 and 20 there will be an accumulation of lows over the Pacific Northwest with an increase in the storm the next four days. It will continue stormy until January 28. During the entire period, says Father Ricard, there will be very little if any rain prospect for Central and Southern California. Extreme Northern California, he indicates, will receive some of the rain from the storms over the Northwest. From January 1 to January 28 the forecast contains frequent warnings of cold nights and frosty mornings in California.

Lower right: A typical service station building of corporation in Los Angeles. ITS a long step from being janitor of a small town post office to the presidency of a $150,000,000 corporation, but C. M. Fuller did it because he is an individualist. Inspired by a lecture in his youth to be different, he has carried out the thought even in the building of service stations for the company of which he is now president, the Richfield Oil Company of California. When but twelve years old, he was taken by his father to hear a lecture entitled "Acres of Diamonds," given by Rev. Russell Conway at Bakersfield, California. The thought behind the talk was that if a man was individual; was unwilling to follow in the footsteps of the throng, he would see that real opportunity lay at his feet if he could but find that endeavor in life for which he were best suited. The boy was so impressed that during the school years that followed, instead of playing during summer vacations as did other children, he worked at as many trades and professions as possible. At the age of twenty one following this procedure of learning something of baking, banking, meat packing, real estate and newspaper work at Baker all the time holding the position of the local postmaster. Old Age Pensions Are Pouring In Department of Social Welfare Dealing With Important Topic Applications for old age aid are pouring into the state department of social welfare in such volume that thousands of aged persons throughout California will be disappointed in not receiving a monthly check, starting January 1. Miss Esther de Turbeville, chief of the division of social welfare, is unaware that immediate payment of the aid to all applicants is a physical impossibility. Each application must be carefully studied and with nearly 10,000 expected by the first of the year, personnel of the division will be unable to cope with the work. "I realize what a bitter disappointment this announcement will be to the aged who are expecting immediate relief," Miss de Turbeville said. But we must ask for patience and assure everyone concerned that the work is progressing as fast-as possible. Only a few counties have returned applications for approval to date, overdue wages "Many of the group were with vision collected said Will J. Freeman department of India. The average men who summoned the money dled 1,929, and woe 483 were laborers of the women tities, and 70 were stenographers.

Another sents Paul's st Romans." There condemnation to Farm Advisors To Hold Annual Meet The annual Agricultural Extension Conference of the University of California will be held in Berkeley during the week of January 6, according to Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg. The sessions will last throughout the week, the conference ending at noon on Saturday, January 11. Attending the conference will be farm advisors, assistant farm advisors, home demonstration agents and club leaders from the 42 counties that now provide for agricultural extension. The work is cooperative, the University of California an the United States Department of Agriculture paying the salaries of the staff and the counties furnishing automobiles, office and running expenses. The program will include addresses, committee meetings, conferences and discussions throughout the week. Relaxation from work is provided by a men's smoker on Tuesday night, in Bowles Hall; a woman's program on the same night, and the annual staff dinner on Friday night in Stephens Union. Among the speakers who are to appear on the program are J. Clyde Marquis of the United States Bureau of Agricultural Economics, and Hildegrade Kneeland of the Bureau of Home Economics, both from Washington D.C. Other speakers from outside the University will be R. M. Hagen, managing director of the Western Cattle Marketing Association; W. P. Wing, secretary of the California Wool Growers Association; L. J. Fletcher of the Holt Manufacturing Company; and H. E. Drobish of the State Department of Agriculture. In addition there will be subject matter addresses by members of the staff of the College of Agriculture. Farm Advisor Wahlberg has been scheduled to present his economic data on citrus production and costs and the costs involved in changing fro... walnuts to Valencia. Collecting Overdue Wages The old saying that "A man is worthy of his hire" is apparently the motto of the State Division of Labor Statistics and Law Enforcement, which collected a total of $71,803 for 2,445 employees in immediate payment of the aid to all applicants is a physical impossibility. Each application must be carefully studied and with nearly 10,000 expected by the first of the year, personnel of the division will be unable to cope with the work. "I realize what a bitter disappointment this announcement will be to the aged who are expecting immediate relief," Miss de Turbeville said. But we must ask for patience and assure everyone concerned that the work is progressing as fast-as possible. Only a few counties have returned applications for approval to date, although we expect a flood within the next few days." Misleading publicity has created a problem for the department, according to Miss de Turbeville, and created a false impression on old persons eligible for the aid. Speaking of this, she said: "The idea that the law provides a pension, that the state will pay money direct to the old people, that all payments will begin in January, that every applicant will receive the maximum amount of $30 per month, and other incorrect reports have been circulated, requiring constant correction and explanation." "The disappointment suffered by old people who expect the impossible is much more unfortunate than the extra work entailed upon the state office by these explanations. It will take several months to handle the first heavy load of applications, even working at top speed. "The counties have requested that we issue a statement calling attention to the situation and asking that the old people shall cooperate by being patient until the first peak of new work is cleared away. Once this is accomplished, we will be able to keep up with a normal volume of applications month by month. No state funds are available for the aid until the application is registered considered, approved, or denied, according to eligibility and need, and the decision transmitted to county officials." with a rate of 48.9 accidents per 100 crossings; Los Angeles county was next with 28.8 accidents per 100, and Marin county third with a rate of 28.6, according to H. G. Mathewson, secretary of the railroad commission. Three California counties have no railroads, an d therefore have no grade crossing accidents. Trinity county has a railroad, but luckily it does not intersect a highway. Humboldt county had the lowest ratio of accidents, with a rate of only 1.2 accidents per 100 counties. Several counties reported no accidents whatsoever. D. B. Meek, director of public works, regards of extreme importance the railroad commission's decision against the Southern Pacific company, requiring an overhead grade separation between spur line across that road. The commission held that the highway should be kept free of all grade crossings, an d the priority of highway and railroad rights at the intersections was settled by requiring the cost to be paid by the state and the railroad company on a "50-50" basis." Concerning Natural Gas Another step in the attack on California's natural gas conservation law as "contrary to state and national constitutions" was taken here in an answer, demurrier and order to show cause reply filed in the Signal Hill gas case by A. N. Macrate and T. E. Kimmons, Long Beach operators. The men denied that any unreasonable waste of gas is taking place, in SAVE WITH SAFETY Tastefully Flavored Keep your mouth clean President of the Richfield Oil Company of Los Angeles: A typical service station. Left: New office in Los Angeles. Janitor office to 56,000,000 dollar per year. Fuller found himself in the oil game. Twenty years have intervened, and at forty-one he heads one of America's major petroleum corporations, the youngest man from a purely age standpoint to have ever risen to the presidency of an oil company of such size. And as to his standing in the industry, he has just been re-elected as a director of the American Petroleum Institute. All through these years his craving and hobby was to build beautiful buildings that would be different. The Richfield organization gave him this opportunity in its service stations. In Los Angeles, the company has just completed its own office building. Instead of the usual type of steel and brick structure, it has been encased in black and gold tile, making it the outstanding structure of the Pacific Coast. On top is an aerial beacon that can be seen for miles. The idea of using such a combination came from Fuller, the individualist. "Do different. Offer a better service to the public. Make them more useful you but not with loud noises. Know as much about the other man's needs that you can talk to him directly." Some of his axioms. Overdue wages last month. Many of the employees in this large group were without funds until the division collected their wages for them," said Will J. French, director of the Department of Industrial Relations. The average clal mwas $45.38. The men who summoned state aid in collecting the money due them for work totaled 1,929, and women, 526. Of the total 485 were laborers and farm hands, 185 of the women were nurses and domestics, and 70 were bookkeepers, clerks and stenographers.

This joyous inquiry constitutes the Golden Text in the Lesson-Sermon on "God" Sunday in all Christian Science Churches, branches of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. One Scriptural citation in the Lesson-Sermon includes Isaiah's encouraging words, "For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; he will save us—And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick; the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity."

Another Bible selection presents Paul's strong message to the Romans, "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death." A correlative selection from the Christian Science texbook "Science and Health with Key to the Cryptures" contains these words by Mary Baker Eddy: "God is the lawmaker, but he is not the author of barbarous codes. In infinite Life and Love there is no sickness, sin, nor death, and the Scriptures declare that we live, move, and have our being in the infinite God—Let us banish sickness as an outlaw, and abide by the rule of perpetual harmony—God's law." DEADLY GRADE CROSSING The time: 1928. The place: Any grade crossing in California. The cast of characters: Motorists who flirted with death. Number of scenes: 2,170. The props: Automobiles and railroad trains. In charge of the curtain: Death So, "on with the play." Grade crossings in California were the most numerous in the state history, according to the State Railroad Commission's report just filed with Governor Young. During the year the 511 crossings located in Orange county were the secene of 46 accidents, the report said. This made a rate of 9.0 accidents per 100 crossings. As there are 19 grade separations in the county, the probability of more numerous accidents was greatly lessened. California had an average of 17.7 accidents for every 100 crossings. Alameda county led the list of counties. Natural Gas The attack on California conservation law and national concern here in an answer to show cause signal Hill gas case and T. E.
