New Philosophy Hall Decorated Twenty-two philosophers from the time of the Greeks to the present, with characteristic sayings, are represented in a gallery of the portraits bordering the library of a new Philosophy Hall at the University of Southern California, Buddha and Confucius also are accorded important places as influencing the philosophical ideas of a great portion of the human race. Dr. Ralph Tyler Flewelling, director of the School of Philosophy of S. C., selected the subjects for the decorative plaques recessed in the walls of the new philosophy library. Ancient and modern sages appear with the following quotations of inspirational nature: THALES, one of the "seven wise men" earliest of Greek philosophers, was said to have first predicted eclipses. He visited Egypt, and is reported to have taught the priests there to measure the height of the pyramids by the length of their shadows. The inscription says: "It is difficult to know thyself, it is easy to advise others." HERACLITUS, the philosopher of change, taught that all things found their reality in perpetual flux. He is pictured in the Trojan philosophy library teaching his disciples: "For the most part, the things divine escape us because of our unbelief." ANAXAGORAS, perhaps the earliest of idealists if not of personalists, turned attention from the outer objective world to the inner one o'f the mind. He is represented with a scholar's scroll on which appears the Greek key-word of his philosophy "Nous", or mind, with the inscription also "Mind is infinite and self-ruled." DEMOCRITUS, the fact that he was a wide traveler is indicated by ships. He was the greatest of the early atomists, and is said to have attained great age. The inscription reads "The fatherland of the wise and the good is the whole world." PROTAGORAS, the first o'f the great humanists, so outraged the feelings of the oligarchs of his time by declaring the value of the person that his writings were burned in the Athenian market place. Protagoras was a democrat, relativist and philosopher. The inscriptionrupting the youth of Athens since he taught them ideas at variance with the past. In the S. C. philosophy hall Socrates is represented making his unsuccessful defense before the Athenian Assembly which condemned him to drink poison hemlock. The inscription, "No evil can befall a good man either here or hereafter," is taken from that defense. PLATO next appears, with the inscription "The first and best victory is to conquer self." A trireme in the background is a reminder that Plato, at the request of Dionysius Elder was sold as a prisoner of war in Aegina by Polis, the Spartan ambassador, and compelled to work as a galley-slave. ARISTOTLE, the pupil of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great, is represented as walking with his students about the Lyceum, from which they became known as Peripatetics. The inscription reads "Dear is Plato, dearer still is Truth." EPICURUS, the great philosopher of nature, is represented in the garden of his cottage, where he kept open house for such as could be satisfied with bread and water and fellowship. Inscription, "If you live according to nature, you will never be poor." AUGUSTINE: Out of the flames of burning Rome an angel rises to present him with the vision of the city of God. Inscription, "Thou has made us for thyself and our hearts are restless till they rest in Thee." ALBERTUS MAGNUS, known as the universal doctor, was the teacher of Thomas Aquinas and so the real founder of the present Roman Catholic theory. Inscription, "The creation in time is a revelation of the eternal acting of God." DESCARTES, the noted physicist, mathematician, and philosopher, visited the courts of Louis XIII, invented analytical geometry, and discovered the laws of refraction of light. A challenge from members of the court set him at work producing a system of philosophy. The famous dictum "I think therefore I am," appears in the Latin "Cogifito, ergo sum" and represents the key to his philosophical system. SPINOZA was a Jewish student of the scriptures who ground lenses for a living and whose main philosophical work came into general recognition a century after his death. Caballistic symbols appear in the border to indicate its importance. Inscription derstanding is no longer God." LEIBNIZ, the matician statesen is represented in Duke of Hanover brarian.

PROTAGORAS, the first ofthe great humanists, so outraged the feelings of the oligarchs of his time by declaring the value of the person that his writings were burned in the Athenian market place.

Inscription, "Thinking is the action and not the essence of the soul."

KANT, the great German philosopher and author of the "Critique of Reason" is represented with Koenigsberg in the background. Inscription, "Mind is supreme and the universe is but the reflected thought of God." HEGEL, who represents the high mark of Absolute Idealism and was a mighty factor of the thought-life of the 19th century, appears with the inscription "A nation which has no metaphysics is like a temple possessing no holy of holies." BUDDHA, surrounded by characteristic Indian decoration with the sacred lions in the borders, is quoted as saying, "To the man who does me wrong I will return the protection of my most ungrudging love." CONFUCIOUS appears as a Chinese sage and the inscription appears both in Chinese and English. "He who knowest the truth is not as good as he who loveth it; and he who loveth it is not as good as he who delighteth in it." EMERSON, the American representative of the line of philosophers was chosen because of his recognition at home and abroad. The inscription states: "Great men are they that see that spiritual is stronger than any material force." In addition to the tile inscriptions and ORDINANCE NO. 543 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM, AMENDING SUBSECTION 7 OF SECTION 10 OF ORDINANCE No. 507, ENTITLED: "AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR THE LICENSING OF BUSINESS, PROFESSIONS, SHOWS, EXHIBITIONS AND GAMES CONDUCTED OR CARRIED ON IN THE CITY OF ANAHEIM, FIXING THE RATE OF LICENSE THEREFOR, PROVIDING FOR COLLECTION THEREOF, AND FIXING PENALTIES FOR THE VIOLATION THEREOF."

Sub-section 7 of Section 10 of Ordinance No. 507 is hereby amended to read as follows: "Of selling at auction goods, wares and merchandise from a fixed place of business in the City of Anaheim, One Hundred ($100.00) Dollars per year, which sum is made payable on the first day of July of each and every year, and which sum shall not be pro-rated for any term shorter than one (1) year, anything in this Ordinance to the contrary notwithstanding." SECTION 2. The City Clerk of the City of Anaheim shall certify to the passage of this ordinance, and shall cause the same to be printed and published once in the Anaheim Gazette, a newspaper of general circulation, printed published and circulated in said city, and thirty (30) days from and after its final passage, it shall take effect and be in full force. The foregoing Ordinance is signed, approved and attested by me this 27th day of August, 1930. (SEAL) L. E. MILLER, Mayor of the City of Anaheim. Attest: EDWARD B. MERRITT, Clerk of the City of Anaheim. STATE OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF ORANGE, CITY OF ANAHEIM. I. EDWARD B. MERRITT, City Clerk of the City of Anaheim, do hereby certify that the foregoing Ordinance was introduced at a meeting of the City Council of the City of Anaheim, held on the 12th day of August, 1930. CONFUCIOUS appears as a Chinese sage and the inscription appears both in Chinese and English. "He who knowest the truth is not as good as he who loveth it; and he who loveth it is not as good as he who delightthought it in it." EMERSON, the American representative of the line of philosophers was chosen because of his recognition at home and abroad. The inscription states: "Great men are they that see that spiritual is stronger than any material force." In addition to the tile inscriptions and portraits appearing in the library of Philosophy Hall at Southern California, the exterior of the building itself is distinguished by carved inscriptions, among them, chosen as the profoundest saying in all philosophy, is "He that loseth his life shall keep it unto life eternal," and "Truth shall make you free." The fountain which fronts the structure bears the legend, "O stream of life run you slow or fast, all streams reach the sea at last." Encircling the north wing of philosophy Hall of the University of Southern California, which is directly opposite Exposition Park, Los Angeles, are names of twenty-one philosophers including Plotinus, Erigena, Abelard, Bruno, Bacon, and Rousseau. WELL HAVE AIR COPS VERY SOON Ether Must be Patrolled if Citizens Safety is to be Provided Air police, sooner or later, must be provided by the State of California for the safety of its citizens. At the 1929 legislature a measure was adopted making it unlawful to operate aircraft or act as pilot if the federal laws are not complied with. Penalties were provided but no provision made for enforcing the act. Aviation inspectors employed by the government are too few to permit of effective policing, according to Edward G. Shelbley of San Francisco, who has made an exhaustive study of the subject. "It is impossible for them to be in all places at once and to observe and take action in every case of violation," he said. "They have no jurisdiction in the case of intra-state flying to which the state act applies. The state cannot therefore look to the federal government for the satisfactory enforcement of air navigation rules and regulations. Local air police must take up the responsibility." Policing of the air, Shelbley explained, includes additional responsibilities such as pursuing criminals by air, patrolling forests for detection of fires, preventing unlawful immigration and smuggling, inspection of aircraft operation from the standpoint of sanitation and disease prevention of airports. County sheriffs, municipal police, state police and federal inspectors, all have a part to play. New York seems to be doing the most in air police work, with a regularly organized air service branch of the police department, made up of 12 pilots and 25 mechanics. Los Angeles has a patrolman who polices the airports. France has an air police as part of its government. In Canada, control is in the hands of an air board. "In California, a State Bureau of Aeronautics has been suggested, to organize an air patrol similar to the California Highway patrol, under the Division of Motor Vehicles," said Shelbley. "Some have suggested that the state motor police be given responsibility for enforcing air traffic laws as well as motor vehicle laws, but the attorney general has ruled against this possibility. The state chamber of commerce has been carrying on a campaign for enforcement by demitrifying." L. E. MILLER, Mayor of the City of Anaheim, Attest: EDWARD B. MERRITT, Clerk of the City of Anaheim. STATE OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF ORANGE, CITY OF ANAHEIM. I. EDWARD B. MERRITT, City Clerk of the City of Anaheim, do hereby certify that the foregoing Ordinance was introduced at a meeting of the City Council of the City of Anaheim, held on the 12th day of August, 1930, and that the same was passed and adopted at a meeting of said City Council, held on the 27th day of August, 1930 by the following vote: AYES: Councilmen Miller, Koesel, Martenet Jr., Lakeman and Sheridan. NOES: Councilmen None. ABSENT AND NOT VOTING. Councilmen None. And I further certify that the Mayor of the City of Anaheim signed and approved said Ordinance on the 27th day of August, 1930.

France has an air police as part of its government. In Canada, control is in the hands of an air board. "In California, a State Bureau of Aeronautics has been suggested, to organize an air patrol similar to the California Highway Patrol, under the Division of Motor Vehicles," said Shelbey. "Some have suggested that the state motor police be given responsibility for enforcing air traffic laws as well as motor vehicle laws, but the attorney general has ruled against this possibility. The state chamber of commerce has been carrying on a campaign for enforcement by deputy sheriffs. Such plans contemplate, however, only the enforcement of the air traffic rules of the Department of Commerce adopted as state law. "A very important use to which airplanes will be put in the future is the pursuing of thieves and murderers, who make a getaway by air. This phase is a responsibility of municipal police or sheriffs, but it must not be lost sight of should a state air patrol be made." Gets Permit To Erect Big Sign North American Building and Loan association recently secured a permit from Building Inspector R. Nyboe to erect a giant sign, costing $1400, on the building at 237 West Center street. A Smart Cook The cook at the mess tent at the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company camp on South Toutle river was driven nearly to distraction by a family of skunks, pap, mam, all the brothers and sisters, and a few cousins. Each night at meal time the skunks would invade the tent and drive out the loggers. One night Tabby, the camp cat, wandered into the tent just after the skunks had entered. The skunks, one and all, made a bee line for Tabby who scampered wildly to the woods with the skunks in hot pursuit. That gave the cook his "big idea." Now, when he is ready to serve a meal he has Tabby locked up and as soon as the skunks appear he turns her loose; the chase is on; and the loggers eat in peace.
