Protect the Beaches Fustrating attempts by oil companies to drill on beach frontage near Santa Barbara, the California Supreme Court in two recent decisions has upheld the plea of Attorney General U. S. Webb and dismissed actions instituted by J. R. Kelley and T. G. Kennedy against the Surveyor General of the State of California to compel the latter to issue permits authorizing them to prospect for oil and gas upon lands located within the Elwood Oil Field. These cases, which were personally argued by Attorney General Webb in the Supreme Court, represent an important victory for rthe People of the State of California in the preservation of its beaches from exploitation by private interests. Kelley and Kennedy were represented by Charles A. Son, the latter now being an aspirant for rthe office of Attorney General.

TODAY AND TOMORROW BY FRANK PARKER STOCKBRIDGE PORTUGAL Travellers returning from the little-known country of Portugal report that it is the most honest country in the world. In the hotels the key to your room is hung on a hook outside of your door and nobody ever steals anything. You can leave your suitcase, your camera or your overcoat on a railroad train or a station platform or in a parked car on the street, and nobody bothers them. The people are polite and hospitable as well as honest. If a sudden shower comes up, house doors open an dthe occupants ask passersby to step in for shelter until the rain stops. That sounds like an earthly paradise. It would be perhaps, if Portugal had a stable government. I n the last twenty-six years there have been twenty-six revolutions. Under the present President, General Carmona, the little nation is getting along nicely. POPULATION Early reports from the Census office indicate that the decline in the birthrate in the past ten years is greater than ever. It begins to look as if, in another ten years we will have come to an annual increase of only 500,000 or less than one half of one per cent, in population. And that will have tremendous economic significance. Cities will not grow so fast. Fewer new schools will be needed. Real estate values will not increase so rapidly. Fewer homes will be built. The proportion of elderly people to young will be larger, and old age pensions and retirement funds will become matters of prime importance. Those are not considerations for the distant future. They are based upon facts which are here, now, and may affect economic conditions very soon. SKYSCRAPERS New York's newest skyscraper, to occupy an entire city block on the East River waterfront at the foot of Wall Street, will be 105 stories high. There is no economic limit to height except the congestion of traffic which comes from crowding so many people into a small area. Cincinnati has a new solution for the skyscraper problem. A new building going up there will be 46 stories high and will be a combination of office buildings, hotel and parking garage, with two large department stores and numerous apartments. Kitchen Shower Event of Week The beautiful garden and lawn at the home of Mrs. J. D. Helmsen on South Claudina street was the scene on Saturday afternoon of a delightful social function when Mrs. Helmsen and Mrs. R. W. Balch entertained at a kitchen shower in honor of Miss Wilhelmina Zitzman who will become the bride, of John S. Lampert of Orange within a fortnight. A number of beautiful gifts each harmonizing with a kitchen done in ivory and green were received by the bride-elect. During the afternoon the guests busied themselves in hemming tea towels for use in the new home. Refreshments were served in the dining room, the coffee urn being presided over by Mrs. Bode while at the other end of the long table Mrs. Zitzman poured tea. The table was graced with a beautiful centerpiece of pink roses among which stod a tiny bride and groom. Icees in the form of wedding bells and cake were served later. During the afternoon the guests were entertained with music by Spanish serenaders. Among these present were the hostesses Mrs. Balch and Mrs. Helmsen, the guest of honor, Miss Wilhelmina Zitzman, Mrs. Ernest Zitzman, Mrs. D. Howard Dow, Mrs. Arthur Wilmsen, Mrs. Ralph Maas, Mrs. Hugo Shulz, Misses Freda and Madeline Lumsdon, Stella and Grace Jackson, Katherine and Martha Adams, Helen and Nell Grafton, Margaret and Matilda Hill, Maud Dent, Maude Comstock, Janey Vanderveer, Ella Mary Parks, M.

A new building going up there will be 46 stories high and will be a combination of office buildings, hotel and parking garage, with two large department stores and numerous succeslary shops in the lower floors. In the old days business men and their employees used to live "over the shop." We may be coming back to that in the big cities, with apartment houses in the upper floors to house the people who work in the stores and offices below. INSECTS The other day at my farm home we started to replace a worn door sill. When we took the old board off we found that black ants had eaten away the heavy timber which forms the sill of the house itself, for a distance of several feet. We took out more than two quarts of ants and about a pint of ant eggs, and then had the expensive job of fitting a new timber in place. The war between man and insects is relentless and unceasing. Along the country roads near my home I frequently meet this Summer the U. S. Department of Agriculture "bug men" who are spraying trees in the effort to get rid of the Japanese beetle, our newest insect pest. I found a great colony of tent moths in an old pasture beyond my woodlot. A new pest is beginning to eat up oak and maple trees up our way; another is destroying the willows along the brook and river. PRESSURE Ice which will not melt at a temperature of 180 degrees is the latest scientific curiosity. It has been produced by Professor P. W. Bridgman of Harvard University. All that is necessary to keep ice from melting under a flame is to subject it to a pressure of 290,000 pounds to the square inch. Professor Bridgeman's experiments with high pressures have given many surprising results. Many familiar substances change their characters under pressure, much as human beings do.

Mid-Summer Fertilization The mid-summer season finds the "canny" orange grower busy locating and getting ready to apply organic fertilizer to his orchard. From now until Halloween, the last October, is the season for adding barnyard manure or equivalent materials to the soil. While October is generally considered to be the best month in which to add the organically fertilizers, yet there is the organic fertilizers, yet there is yield or quality from mid-summer as compared with October applications of fertilizer. Higher prices for organic fertilizers, particularly barnyard manure, usually prevail in October. The resultant tendency, therefore, is to apply the organic fertilizer "before the rush." While a good grade of barnyard manure is doubtless the best organic fertilizer to use, the limited quantity available necessitates the use of plant residues. Beanstraw is the commonest of these, and the entire crop of the county is usually spoken for in advance of the harvest, or immediately thereafter. This material contains, on the average, three times the amount of nitrogen that manure does. Recently, its reported, alfalfa hay of good quality has been offered for sale at a price comparable with other fertilizing materials. Alfalfa hay contains, on the average, two percent of nitrogen, or four times the quality found in common manure. If much shattering of the leaves has occurred and the alfalfa is very straw-like in texture, the nitrogen content will be reduced to approximately 1.25 per cent, thereby losing over one-fourth of its value. The groves, on the whole, are looking and doing well at this time, but the grower should not forget that if they are to look the same way next March the organic nitrogen and the soil humus should be built up at this season. From one to three pounds of nitrogen per tree should be added, according to the size and age of the trees. A cubic foot of manure will weigh from 33 to 36 pounds. Crop residues are sold entirely by the ton. Invading the North Bring on your championship night indoor ball teams.
