Boys and Girls In This County The State-wide Enumeration of School Children comes in Fall Anaheim boys and girls under 18 are slated to be counted again this fall, when a new statewide registration of minors is taken in California. Under a provision of the newly adopted school code, such a registration must be taken during the first full school week in October, and every three years thereafter. California now has more than a million and a quarter children of school age, according to a census table just released by Walker E. Morgan, chief of the division of research and statistic of the state department of education. Of this number 28,673 reside in Orange county, Morgan says. They are divided nearly "50-50" as to sex, there being 14,371 boys and 14,302 girls. "In California as a whole, boys of school age lead the girls in number by just a few thousand," said Morgan. "The last census showed a total of 612,-593 boys, compared to 596,356 girls. There were 188 children whose sex was not reported, mostly babes in arms." Seven-year-old youngsters are the most numerous, with a total of 84,000 registered, while the smallest age group is represented by babies under a year old, with 44,000. This is accounted for, according to the bureau of vital statistics, by the normal infant mortality toll, although California has one of the lowest rates of any state in the nation. Elementary school districts conducting the census this year are, according to law, required to appoint a "Registrar of Minors" before September 15. The necessary deputies will also be provided, and the trustees are authorized to pay "any reasonable compensation," but not exceeding $30 for the first statutory teacher and $10 for each additional statutory teacher allowed each elementary district. This, it is explained, will assure uniform cost of registering minors throughout the state, and at the same time permit the job to be done thoroughly. Pepper Weevil Abundant A mid-winter inspection of the pepper growing area reveals that the clean-up campaign has not been effectively prosecuted by the pepper growers this winter. The experience obtained in the field and laboratory during recent years shows that the most effective control of the industry's greatest pest and source of loss, the pepper weevil consists in plowing under and completely covering all parts of the old pepper crop with earth. In addition, the alternate host plant of the pepper weevil, the black nightshade plant, must be eradicated. The earlier in the Fall this is done, the better, as there is a less chance of the weevil living until spring growth appears. Although this data has been presented to growers for several years, and especially this year, the clean-up campaign is to date incompletely carried out. On one pepper field not plowed the last week in January, a count of 35 pepper plants revealed the presence of 52 active weevils. In the same field, a count of 35 nightshade plants revealed the presence of 549 active weevils. This is a situation analogous to that preceding the disastrous years of 1926 and 1927. The entire pepper district, of course, is not in such a severe condition. Many districts are fairly well cleaned up. It is the remaining fields and nightshade plants which are a menace to the industry, as they are sources of infestation from which the entire pepper growing area may become infested and suffer loss needlessly. All pepper and nightshade plants should have been plowed under before the first of January. It is doubtful if plowing at this late date will externalize the weevil. However, many, probably the majority of weevils, will be destroyed by plowing at once, and the severity of infestation be reduced thereby. Hence all growers are urged to plow immediately and to destroy all nightshade plants at once. Clean fields cannot be secured by plowing now, but plant observations show, as might be expected, that there is less loss from a field with a light infestation in early summer than there is from a field with a heavy infestation at the start of the season. Therefore it will pay well to plow immediately and externinate all night shade plants at once. Law Explained by U.S.C.Law Review Trojans to Meet State University Basketball Teams to Mix Tomorrow at Shrine Auditorium University of California's strong basketball squad, winner of the conference championship last season and aspiring to repeat this year, will arrive here early tomorrow (Friday) for its game and rubber with Coach Sam Barry's Trojan five. The University of Southern California team also aspires to a high place in conference standings and as the meeting of the Trojans and Dears Friday night at 8 p.m. on the Shrine auditorium court will set up the winner as a strong title contender and practically eliminate the loser from the race; the game is the most crucial mid-season contest on the schedule and is expected to draw a packed house of more than 7000. Continuing his work in polishing up the Trojans' offense, which looked somewhat ragged at times last Saturday night despite of the fact that the Southern Californians were giving the U.C.L.A.Bruins a trouncing by a top-heavy 33 to 16 score, Coach Barry is scheduled to give his S.C.cagers a final brisk workout in their short-passing hard-charging type of game late today. With Bill Pierce, star off the Trojans recent 36 to 18 victory over Stanford, back in practice with his knee injury, almost well, the Southern Californians are alternately using Jesse Mortensen, Frank Smith, Jack Gardner and Pierce in the three-man forward wall. Pierce is expected to be an added threat for S.C. against California that the Trojans did not have against the Bruins last Saturday, but as the Southern Californians will undoubtedly get considerably more of a battle from the Berkeley men than they did from Westwood squad, even with the addition of Pierce pre-game dope gives the men of Troy no better than an even break to turn back the experienced, rangy team from the San Francisco Bay region. Smith, whose rise to basketball fame at S.C. has been little short of phon Law Explained by U. S. C. Law Review In response to suggestion by the California state bar, a restatement of the law of contracts with California annuations appended is included in the current issue of the University of Southern California Law Review, legal periodical published by the Trojan Law School with Robert Kingsley as editor-in-chief. Liability to creditors under trusts, control of American waters and transmigration of oil and its problems are covered in three separate articles by Frederick R. Behrends, Ernest C. Carman, and George H. Bowen, respectively. In discussing jurisdiction of governments over bodies of water Mr. Carman, a member of the Los Angeles bar, states: "The colonies were as independent of each other ... and as free fro mthe control of any superior authority as the members of the League of Nations today ... The federal or national government of the United States succeeded directly to none of the sovereignty relinquished by England; the thirteen states got al lof it. This is still important in any study of sovereign rights in the United States; and especially so in relation to national waters." Reviews of cases involving intoxicating liquors, insanity defenses, constitutional law an dthe pocket veto, municipal corporations, divorce, income tax, internal revenue, operation of racing stables, and personal property tax liens are included in the current issue of the Law Review of the University of Southern California. Frank Smith, Jack Gardner and Pierce in the three-man forward wall. Pierce is expected to be an added threat for S. C. against California that the Trojans did not have against the Bruins last Saturday, but as the Southern Californians will undoubtedly get considerably more of a battle from the Berklee men than they did from Westwood squad, even with the addition of Pierce pre-game dope gives the men of Troy no better than an even break to turn back the experienced, rangy team from the San Francisco Bay region. Smith, whose rise to basketball fame at S. C. has been little short of phenomenal, is expected to play an important part in the Trojan attack against the Bears according to reports from practice sessions at the Shrine. The big boy from Santa Monica is proving equally effective as a center or forward or a fast-breaking basket shooter or a key man in the passing game. When Pierce was unable to play last Saturday against U. C. L. A. Smith was hsifted from the center position, which he had been playing regularly, to Pierce's spot at left forward. Although Smith caged only two field goals from this position against U. C. L. A., his clever ball-handling and feeding to Gardner at the other forward were big factors in enabling the latter to be the high scoring man of the evening with 12 points. While neither Coach Barry nor Coach Nibs Price would definitely give out their respective Trojan and Bear nile-ups today, it is expected that each will start the same combinations that won their games last week-end, the Bears beating Stanford while the Trojans were troubling U. C. L. A. Tickets for the game are now on sale at the Trojan Students store and the Dyas company in Los Angeles and Hollywood. They may also be obtained before the game at the Shrine box office.

Q. Young as an emergency measure. An optimistic report, disclosing this fact, and covering the results obtained during the past year in the enforcement of the provisions of the two acts by the division of markets, was transmitted today by Governor Young by George H. Hecke, director of agriculture, in a special conference held in Los Angeles. Under the moral influences exercised by these laws, believes the department, even a much larger sum of money was collected by fruit and vegetable producers acting on their own initiative. Under these two acts the division of markets, under the direction of Fred N. Bigelow, associate chief, is charged with the responsibility of licensing all produce dealers, buyers and commission merchants handling various farm products in California, and supervising their methods of doing business, as a protection to the growers against any acts of malpractice. For the fiscal year just closed, reports Mr. Bigelow, 636 new licenses were issued by the department. For the first time, also, an official list of all licensed dealers and buyers, grouped into classes, according to the product handled and method of dealing in fruits and vegetables, has been issued and given wide distribution over the state. Out of a total number of 678 complaints against dealers, buyers and commission merchants, filed by growers with the department since this work was inaugurated, 405 charges of bad marketing practices were received during the past year. More than $50,000 has been recovered for the growers on the basis of those charges and an additional $36,000 is still to come in. All of this work, based on complaints received by the department, covering 512 cases investigated and closed, is performed for the farmer community.

HOT DOG STANDS TO GO Longer will the offete eastern Touris have his esthetic senses jarred by the unsightly hot dog stands along the road side in California. Within a few years a new type of eating stand will appear. They will be pleasing to the architectural eye, and not impair scenic beauties of the state. Such is the announcement of the Redwood Empire Association, composed of eight northern California counties. The association recently adopted a resolution calling for a uniform county ordinance requiring all applicants for the privilege of establishing roadside stands to submit plans in according with standard type architectures, and obtain approval before the buildings are erected. As administrators of the Acts, we are charged with maintaining an impartial and unbiased attitude. We believe however that it strict observance of the provisions of these two acts on the part of dealers, buyers and commission merchants, will do much to place the business of distributing fruits and vegetables in California on a much higher plane and will mean much to our growers in the way of increased returns."
