Under this system, the feet of the newborn infants are pressed 'upon a glass slag covered with printer's ink. Then an impression of each foot is stamped upon the birth certificate. According to police fingerprint experts, if a careful impression is made so that the characteristics of each foot show up clearly, the method is virtually infallible as no two sets of prints are ever exactly alike. In addition to this method, identification tags made of adhesive tape also are used. These carry the name of the infant's parents and are placed on the back and wrist of the baby. Still another method is that in which beads which spell out the baby's name are make into a necklace and placed around its neck. The necklaces are sealed and are not removed until the baby leaves the hospital. YACHT RACING...particularly the coming race for the Lipton Cup!

Alden will come as a surprise that she should have lived so long, and will cause many a sigh of regret at the snapping of another link with the irreclaimable past. Under the pen-name of "Pansy" Mrs. Alden wrote more than 120 books, which were enormously popular in the 1870's and, indeed, down to the beginning of the present century. She was born in 1841, and before 1850, more than eighty years ago, her first story had been published! The wife of a minister, all of her books were of a distinctly religious cast. Her most popular series, the "Ester Reid" books for girls and young women, sold into the millions. It was largely through Mrs. Alden's writings that the Chauqua educational movement gained its great popularity. I know of few persons who have lived such useful lives and none who spent so many years in one vocation.

There are but three other governments in the world under which so many people live. They are China, Russia and India. The total population of the British Commonwealth of Nations is, of course, larger, but none of the Domonlons—Australia, Canada, the Union of South Africa and the rest—nor even England and Scotland together, has anywhere near as many people as we have. And we are still growing. The 1930 figures are seventeen million higher than the 1920 count, the largest ten-year increase in our history. ALICE My guess is that the winner in a national referendum on the most popular woman in America would be Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, wife of the Speaker of the House and daughter of Theodore Roosevelt. She knows more about politics, the inside working of affairs, than any other woman in American, in all probability. She never makes speeches, which may be one of the reasons why everybody thinks well of her. Her most intimate friend is Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick, who is running for Senator from Illinois and in whose campaign Mrs. Longworth is helping. They have been intimates from girlhood, when Alice's father lived in the White House and Ruth's father was United States Senator from Ohio. BIRTHS Twenty-four hundred and eighty babies were born in New York City in the last week of July. In the same week only 1,205 persons died in the city. If the same ratio of births to deaths continue through the year and prevailed all over the country, our population would soon grow so large that we could not support it. As a matter of fact, the national birthrate in the United States is rapidly approaching the death rate. The proportion is now about 20 deaths to every 23 births. A century and a half ago an English clergyman named Malthus wrote a learned essay in which he calculated that the pressure of population upon the means of subsistence would make it impossible for all the people on earth in the 20th century—now—to get food enough to eat. The Malthusian theory was taken seriously by many economists until recently. But, somehow, it isn't working out. Right now we have a surplus of most foodstuffs, and the birthrate is still declining.

DROUGHT If mankind ever learns how to forecast the weather for even a few weeks ahead, it will mark the beginning of our final victory over Nature. But so long as we are at the mercy of the weather we can hardly say that we have conquered our environment. The drought of 1930, extending throughout the Middle West and the South, is the severest in 30 years. Last year the Northeast and the Northwest suffered from lack of rain, but without serious economic consequences. This year the wheat and corn belts are the victims, with greatly reduced crops as a result. The compensation lies in the larger market for wheat, as a substitute for corn for cattle feeding, and higher prices for both grains because of the short supply. Wiley B. Allen Opens S. A. Store Enlarging sales and service facilities in Orange county, the Wiley B. Allen company which in April installed a branch on West Center street, Anaheim, Thursday of this week opened another branch at 420 West Fourth street, Santa Ana. Harry H. Clubb, who has been in charge of the local store, becomes manager of the two branches, with Howard S. Jones taking over the reins as assistant manager in Santa Ana, and Louis LaMont holding that position in Anaheim. A total of six salesmen operate out of the two stores. Since the opening in April, the Anaheim branch has become one of the leaders among the branches, showing a constant growth every month. A total of 119 radios have been sold here in the last four weeks. BIRTH DECREASE FELT IN SCHOOLS Orange County's Pupils, Estimated at 129,000, Actually 11,000 Less California's decreasing birth rate has already made itself felt in public schools and there are now fewer children being educated in this state in proportion to the population than there were in 1920. This fact was brought out by Walter E. Morgan, chief of the division of research and statistics in the state department of education, when he compared his estimate on the population of California with the 1930 census figures. Morgan found that in Orange county he had estimated a population for 1930 of 129,581 while the census takers found there were actually 118,611 persons there. These may be only numbers to the average citizen, but to statisticians they reveal an interesting situation regarding births in California. Here is the logic involved: Morgan's estimate was based on the 1920 ratio of elementary school average daily attendance to the total population, as reported in the 1920 census. Morgan then took this 1920 ratio, divided it into the average daily attendance for 1930 and so got his result. Assume for example, that the ratio in 1920 was 12 children to each 100 of population. The ratio then would be 12 per cent. Morgan divided that into the average daily attendance for 1930 and a population estimate for the state of 5,917,481. This, however, is higher than the actual official count, which was 5,672,009. So, Morgan tells us, it is apparent that his ratio is too high now, and that there are, for example, but 10 children now for each 100 population, instead of 12 as in 1920.

"An explanation is in order, however, for those counties where we undereswork, and can apply this knowledge." It is to the high school students of today that leaders are looking for material to fill this growing demand. During the past 12 years the high school pupil has become an important factor "These comptations definitely prove that the declining birth rate in California does exist and is making itself felt in schools," Morgan declared. "An explanation is in order, however, for those counties where we underestimated the population. Here the birth rate has increased. The rural counties generally were underestimated by us, proving that the birth rate is increasing in these regions and decreasing in the more heavily populated sections. San Francisco was underestimated in our compilation, one of the few large centers to show an increased birth rate. I attribute this to the fact that the residential sections of the city are building up, people are moving out of apartments and having larger families." Vocational Study Widens Its Scope Industry in California is increasing at a tremendous rate, and state educational authorities are bending all their facilities to keep pace with this trend by training young people for trade and industrial pursuits. Enrollment in Federal and state-aided vocational educational classes in this state has grown from 1,596 in 1918 to 35,604 at the present time, according to Vierling Kersey, state superintendent of public instruction. "The state department of education is constantly receiving more requests for service from industry, labor and the schools, to assist them in setting up well-organized training programs in trade and industrial pursuits." Kersey announced. Industry provides an environment rich in educational opportunities. To investigate and creative minds the study of materials, designs, processes and principles opens up a great adventure. Industry, more than ever before, needs men who are trained to think—who know the 'why' and 'wherefore' of every phase o f their work, the science, mathematics and technology of the work, and can apply this knowledge." It is to the high school students of today that leaders are looking for material to fill this growing demand. During the past 12 years the high school pupil has become an important factor through introduction of special training classes. In 1918, vocational education classes had been instituted in but ten counties, while today such specialized educational classes may be found in all but 13 of the 58 counties. Where 84 classes existed in 1918, the total has jumped to 1,251 in 1930. "One of the most important phases of the California plan of trade and industrial education is the selection and training of tradesmen—both men and women—who are to teach the different trades in the public schools," said the state superintendent. Our plan for training craftsmen as teachers has gained a national reputation. During this summer we have enrolled at the University of California in Los Angeles 74 craftsmen who are taking professional courses in education to improve their teaching, with 24 different trades represented. In addition 33 men are taking professional courses in related technical instruction, making a total of 107 craftsmen enrolled for teacher training in trade and industry." 3 Hours To Go Is Changed to 5 Years With only three hours left to finish his one-year sentence, Ray Gilley broke from jail.
