London As Seen By American Eyes Food Is High, and So Is Everything Else, Even Old Paving Stones of Buckingham SEE BARMAIDS IN PUBS Looking Down on Poverty From Top of Bus Mrs. Margaret Higging and Mrs. Fannie B Lyon, who have been on a six months tour of Europe, write to Anaheim friends under date of Sept. 21: "Here we are in dear old London. Heavens, how big it is! And how interesting, and how easy to get around in, in your own language. Busses gallore and trams and undergrounds to go everywhere in, and so cheap. But that is all that is cheap. "Food is high and so is everything else, so far as we can see. Old paving stones that have been for over 200 years in underground passages in Buckingham Palace may be inexpensive, but we are not in the market for paving stones. However, the stones are to stay where they are until some phool American makes a high bid for 'em. "The weather has been 'unusual.' Get that? Unusual, how the Iowa folks chuckle with glee once-in-awhile if we in California have unusual weather. Nearly every day for a month it has been raining sometimes almost a deluge. The poor farmers are in despair. We do not see how they ever got their hay dry enough to bring in. "We went up to Edinburgh about ten days ago and going through Trossachs and down through Katrín we nearly froze to death. Loch Hamond was nothing but mist and rain and cold wind. "Oh, wert thou in the cauld, cauld blast." Burns knew his Scotland. We were in the "cauld blast," and no chuckle with glee once-in-awhile if we in California have unusual weather. Nearly every day for a month it has been raining sometimes almost a deluge. The poor farmers are in despair. We do not see how they ever got their hay dry enough to bring in. "We went up to Edinburgh about ten days ago and going through Trossachs and down through Katrin we nearly froze to death. Loch Hamond was nothing but mist and rain and cold wind. "Oh, wert thou in the cauld, cauld blast." Burns knew his Scotland. We were in the "cauld blast," and no doubt of it. The old Minster at York is very fine, but on these dark, gloomy days it is nearly a blind man's holiday. "In newspaper comment on the nautical affairs, one said that Lipton was outsailed! that if Vanderbilt and his crew were on the Shamrock, she would have won." Another Britisher said let them come over here and sail in our waters. He evidently had forgotten how we annexed that old cup. We didn't steal it, although there was no second when the schooner American came in. "We have unemployed in the United States but we have never seen so much evidence of poverty as we see here. There are too many 'pubs', and when Nicholas Murray Butler talks about hypocracy, we wonder how he would explain the reason for the London pubs being all frosted glass and curtains. Women drink in these places and leave their little babies in their 'proms' outside on the sidewalks. The law forbids them taking the babies in the pubs. And it isn't pleasant to see pretty young barmaids waiting on crowds of men. "Yesterday afternoon we rode for miles on the top of a London bus, the charwoman's Rolls Royce. From our height we could look down into the pubs on the working men as they drank. We thought that it would have been better to have been spending that money on food. We never again wish to see such dirty, unkept children. "Of course, some think we Americans are going to the demnition, bow wows and very weird tales appear in the London newspapers about how we drink in America. Police reports give 51,000 convictions for drunkenness in England last year. How many thousand were drunk that were not counted deponent saith not. We will take what we have in preference to what the English have, Mr. Morrow to the contrary notwithstanding. "We sail for home on the Homeric on Oct. 8." These two Californians who have been seeing Europe now live in Hollywood but were formerly well known residents of Anaheim. Irrigation Program For Walnut Orchards As soon as the harvesting season is over, walnut growers should plan to irrigate their trees to provide sufficient moisture for the balance of the grow- Irrigation Program For Walnut Orchards As soon as the harvesting season is over, walnut growers should plan to irrigate their trees to provide sufficient moisture for the balance of the growing period this fall, according to W. M. Cory, Acting Farm Advisor of Orange County. There is no question but that if moisture conditions during the fall are such as to cause the trees to be too dry there is apt to be damage. Winter dieback is quite common throughout walnut sections of the south and is characterized by the trees dying back from the tips of the branches all over the tree. Other factors cause dieback of a different nature, but drought dieback usually can be picked out. An ideal irrigation program for walnut orchards should include irrigation after harvest, some time from the middle of October to the middle of November. This irrigation need not be very heavy. Application of three to four acre inches should be sufficient. This irrigation will have the effect of conserving small amounts of rainfall which otherwise would be lost by evaporation. Hence, it is always a good policy to apply a past-harvest irrigation. PLEDGED BY DELTA UPSILON Delta Upsilon at the Oregon State College announces the pledging of Lawrence Heide, son of Mrs. Emma J. Helde of Anaheim, Harold Hylton, Anaheim boy who was an outstanding football prospect until an injury some days ago ended his chance temporarily at least, is also affiliated with this fraternity. BAPTIST PASTOR TO RETURN After an absence of more than three years, the Rev. Virgil K. Ledbetter is to return to Anaheim the first of the year again to take the pastorate of Calvary Baptist church. Supply pastors will continue to occupy the pulpit until the arrival of Mr. Ledbetter.
