TODAY TOMORROW FRANK PARKER STOCKBRIDGE HEAVEN? A town in which there will be no bootlegging, no gambling, no vice, no filth, no unsightly billboards, no uncollected garbage, no disorder, is being built on the banks of the Colorado River. It is the town which will be occupied for seven or eight years by the engineers and laborers engaged in building the Boulder Dam. It has been planned and designed by the U.S. Engineers, who will administer the new town and control the conduct of its inhabitants. Those employed on the Boulder Dam job who don't like to be restricted in their hours off duty can live somewhere else if they choose. Most of the ten of twelve thousand men who will be employed on the dam, however, will live in this new town, which hasn't been named yet. The name of "Heaven" has been suggested for it but people's ideas of Heaven differ so from each other that not all will agree as to the appropriateness of that title. MONEY More than a thousand million dollars—$1,336,000,000, to be exact—of the "old" paper money is still in circulation. At least, that much has not been turned in at the U.S. Treasury for exchange for the new small-sized bills which were put in circulation a year ago. Washington officials estimate that probably half a billion dollars of this outstanding money never will be turned in. Some of it has been burned, some lost, some hidden where it may never be found. Sixty million one-dollar bills are still outstanding and a great many County Hospitals Haven for Mothers California's county hospitals have become a haven for "poor middle class" mothers of the state. Last year Orange county reported 130 births in its county hospital, with the state total showing 6,467 births in these hospitals. Halling the increased popularity of county hospitals for maternity cases as the first definite step in halting the alarming maternal mortality rate in the United States, the state department of welfare pointed out that those formerly "too rich" or "not poor" enough to enter county hospitals have at last found a place to rthemselves. "It is an encouraging thing to see county hospitals offering their services to the general community, instead of only those who are too poor to pay for service," said Mrs. Anna L. Saylor, director of the social welfare department. "County hospitals have an important place in the field of maternal hygiene. The United States has the largest percentage of deaths of mothers in child birth of any civilized nation in the world. "How to reduce the toll of deaths in one of our foremost medical problems. The well-baby clinics have been the chief factor in reducing infant mortality in the past 20 years." "Adequate hospital care would undoubtedly greatly help to meet the problem of the death of mothers. Some of our county hospitals have already gone a long way in this direction and their experience should be made available to all communities." Great variation exists in the service rendered by county hospitals in California, according to Mrs. Saylor, Sacramento and San Joaquin counties show the largest percentage of births taking place at county hospitals. Fresno, Kern, Kings, Madera, Merced and Stanislaus counties all show more than ten per cent of all births taking place in their county hospitals. A number of the smaller mountain counties offer no maternal service at all. MONEY More than a thousand million dollars—$1,336,000,000, to be exact—the "old" paper money is still in circulation. At least, that much has not been turned in at the U. S. Treasury for exchange for the new small-sized bills which were put in circulation a year ago. Washington officials estimate that probably half a billion dollars of this outstanding money never will be turned in. Some of it has been burned, some lost, some hidden where it may never be found. Sixty million one-dollar bills are still outstanding, and a great many $5,000 and $10,000 bills. LOCKS In the Arabian Nights story of All Baba and the Forty Thieves, the door of the robbers' cave opened when one stood before it and pronounced the words "Open sesame." In the Westinghouse laboratory a door has been built which will open when those words are spoken in a certain pitch, and which will not open by any other means. Now, the General Electric laboratory has built a door which opens only when knocked upon in a certain way, at certain points, and which cannot otherwise be forced. The first thing one thinks of is that such doors would be useful for lodge rooms and private offices. But there are many other uses to which they could be put. WINDOWS Will the home, office or factory build have windows or not? Scientific architects and engineers say not. Temperature control with abundance of fresh air is already a demonstrated possibility in buildings whose windows are never opened. Everybody work at the same temperature the year around. Modern lighting is better than sunlight, even if it doesn't exactly match it; in addition, artificial sunlight can produce ultra-violet rays, which do not penetrate through window glass, and make indoor conditions more healthful then they are now. Perhaps man's conquest of Nature may make up again a race of literal cave dwellers, creating our own climate. PNEUMONIA Curing pneumonia—actually curing it—by the use of electricity, is the latest medical achievement. It must be taken seriously, since it comes from one of the highest authorities in medicine, Dr. William A. White, head of the Government hospital for the insane at Washington. According to Dr. Herbert C. Wooley of Dr. White's staff, in the past eighteen months practically all of 200 cases of pneumonia have been positively curbed by passing a high frequency alternating current of 70 volts through the patients chest. This has the effect of going a long way in this direction and their experience should be made available to all communities." Boys Fail To Hit Deer; Hunter Kills It Twenty-six Boy Scouts went hunting in the Santa Cruz mountains. A deer jumped up, 26 fired their rifles at it, all missed. The noise woke a sleeping hunter nearby, who jumped up and brought down the deer. Here’s a Hint for Anaheim Hunters Lee Moore, Sacramento aviator, flew up Indian valley, spotted a buck deer, landed and killed it. A few minutes later he hopped off for home as proud as if he had set a new flight record. Someone has found that when he buys one shirt he gives employment to 50 persons, and 47 of them do nothing but hide pins in the tail. elsewhere, the world will hall it as one of the great medical discoveries. Pneumonia is one of the three or four most common causes of death, especially among the elderly. Anything which reduces the death rate from this cause adds to everybody's expectation of life. FINANCIALLY SAFE Curing pneumonia—actually curing it—by the use of electricity, is the latest medical achievement. It must be taken seriously, since it comes from one of the highest authorities in medicine, Dr. William A. White, head of the Government hospital for the insane at Washington. According to Dr. Herbert C. Wooley of Dr. White's staff, in the past eleven months practically all of 200 cases of pneumonia have been positively curbed by passing a high frequency alternating current of 70 volts through the patients chest. This has the effect of heating the lung tissue without burning the outside skin. Other hospitals are beginning to use this treatment.

TO THE VOTERS OF ORANGE COUNTY I want to sincerely thank the voters of Orange county for their support of my candidacy for sheriff at the recent primary election, which was so generous that it placed me in the finals for the November election. I not only appreciate deeply the fine testimonial as an expression of confidence from the voters, but will also appreciate this continued interest and support when the final decision is made in November. I am unable to thank each one personally, so I take this method of using the press, which has so generously assisted me, to express my appreciation to one and all. Sincerely yours, SAM JERNIGAN, Sheriff of Orange County, Calif.

Geologists Find That Cinder "Cone" Had Five Flows Mt. Lassen, the only active volcano in the United States, probably had its last lava flow during the winter of 1850-51—about the time California's famous "gold rush" was well under way. This conclusion has been reached by R. H. Finch and C. A. Anderson, instructors in geology at the University of California, as a result of a study of Cinder Cone, a prominence about 10 miles east-northwest of Lassen Peak, at the base of which the lava flow occurred. In their investigation, the two men found evidence to support the conclusion that there have been five laval flows from Cinder Cone, instead of two as previously recorded. Their evidence checks fairly well with the findings of A. E. Jones o fthe Hawaiian Valcanic Observatory in 1928. Jones tested the magnetic declinations of various lava deposits, declaring that on a basis of his studies there were flows in 1846, perhaps in 1800, one or two more in 1300, one in 1200, perhaps one in 1100, and probably one each in 550 and 500 A.D. Concerning historical evidence for the last lava flow at Cinder Cone in the winter of 1850-51, Finch and Anderson said: "Harkness states that lights were observed to the east of Lassen 'Butte' from time to time, but that because of hostile Indians no attempt was made to ascertain the cause of the lights. During the winter Dr. O. M. Wozencraft observed from a point above Red Bluff, west of Lassen peak, a great fire to the east of the peak, which continued for many nights without change of position. This caused him to reject the theory that the lights were from Indian camp fires. Charles Gibbes and party of miners witnessed the same lights from Angeles" Teams Compete At State Fair Sixteen fraternal and patriotic organizations will compete at the California State Fair in Sacramento next Sunday, September 7th, beginning promptly at 12:30 o'clock, for prizes aggregating $1,000. This will be a feature of Pioneers' Day when thirty-five pioneer '49ers will be guests of the State Fair Board at an old-time celebration. These pioneers were all born in 1850 or earlier. The drilling of the teams before the grandstand will be interspersed with pioneer numbers, old time songs and music by Harry (Mac) McClintock and Cecil Wright, of KFRC's Romantic '49ers, musical numbers by the elderly guests themselves, and a quadrille contest between teams from Woodland, Marysville, Placerville, Jackson and Sacramento. Among the drill team entries is the White Oak Drill Team of Oakland lodge, No. 171, B. P. O. Elks, last year's winners of the national championship at the Elks Convention and one of the outstanding teams of the United States. Entries closed on Sept. 1st, according to Charles W. Palne, secretary of the Fair, with a full afternoon's program scheduled. Under the rules, each team will march upon the field to music furnished by the fair management, and will be allowed five minutes for entrance and inspection and ten minutes for drill. While inspection, appearance, carence, alignment and distance, variety of drill and commanding officer, will each count ten points toward the total, the drill itself will count for forty points.

STATE LIBERAL TO OUTSIDE AUTOS Non-Resident Automobiles Are Treated Square by Division of Motor Vehicles California is one of the most liberal states in the country toward the driver of non-resident or out-of-state automobiles. This state permits all non-resident cars from every state to remain here 6 months before securing a state license, provided the motorist takes on a non-resident permit within 10 days after he enters the state. Many states, according to Frank G. Snook, chief of the state Division of Motor Vehicles, require the visitor to obtain a license as soon as he crosses the state line. In California, if he indicates his intention to remain in the state less than 10 days, he is not even required to secure a visitor's permit. Our liberality toward the out-of-state motorist is bearing fruit in a constantly-increasing tourist crop," said Snook. "Already the 1930 season gives promise of being a record-breaking one.

LIBERAL OUTSIDE AUTOS At Automobiles Are square by Division Motor Vehicles one of the most liberal mits were issued to 15,800 cars, and what is still more gratifying, we issued California licenses during this period of 31,141 out-of-state motorists." Few persons realize Snook continued, the big part the division's inspectors play in welcoming these visitors and assisting in making their visits pleasurable. They receive almost their first impression of California at the border stations where the state's officers register them an disissue visitors' permits. Each nonresident is asked to show proof that his car has been registered properly in his own state, and proof that he has premission from the legal owner to register in California. Little trouble is found with the rank and file of visitors, most of whom realize, that while the regulations are somewhat stringent, they protect the visitor as well as the public.
