No Race Suicide Among Mexicans 28.3 Percent of Orange County Are of Mexican Parentages PROBLEM BECOMES ACUTE Most Children On State Aid Are Mexican Born One out of every six children born in California is a Mexican. Furthermore, 38.3 per cent of all the babies born in Orange county last year were of Mexican parentage. These facts are disclosed in a report to Governor Young by his fact-finding committee appointed to make a thorough study of the Mexican problem in California. The committee is composed of Will J. French, director of industrial relations; George H. Hecke, director of agriculture, and Mrs. Anna L. Saylor, director of social welfare. In Southern California the Mexican problem is most acute, the committee found. In the rural districts of Imperial county, more than half of all births are Mexican. In the reural areas of San Bernardino and Riverside county, Mexican births are 40 per cent. Mexicans are migrating northward in large numbers into the San Joaquin valley and certain Northern California counties. Santa Barbara and Ventura counties have a large proportion of Mexicans. In the San Joaquin valley, Madera, Kings, and rural districts of Fresno and Kern counties, more than a fifth of all births are Mexican. "Social problems of Mexicans are defined largely by the fact that they constitute the largest group of unskilled low-wage labor in the states," the report said. "In the background are the handicaps of little or no schooling in Mexico and lack of familiarity with English. Physically, in Mexico they have lived on a meager diet with little attention to sanitation and hygiene." counties have a large proportion of Mexicans. In the San Joaquin valley, Madura, Kings, and rural districts of Fresno and Kern counties, more than a fifth of all births are Mexican. "Social problems of Mexicans are defined largely by the fact that they constitute the largest group of unskilled low-wage labor in the states," the report said. "In the background are the handicaps of little or no schooling in Mexico and lack of familiarity with English. Physically, in Mexico they have lived on a meager diet with little attention to sanitation and hygiene, which manifests itself in a high infant mortality rate and a high rate for tuberculosis and other communicable diseases. Added to these handicaps is the fact that racial prejudice exists, particularly against those of non-European stock whose color, customs and habits of life differ from the American standard." Other facts brought out in the report were: One out of every ten orphans, half-orphans and other children receiving state aid is a Mexican. Ten per cent of the prisoners received in San Quentin state prison in the last 20 years were Mexican. In Folsom prison 6.5 per cent of all prisoners were Mexican. The average number of children per Mexican family was 4.3. Of 101 families visited, nearly 70 per cent had monthly incomes of less than $100, 29.5 per cent had incomes of $100 or more, and 5.9 per cent received $150 or more. Mexicans in California tend to live in colonies, both in cities and in farm districts, which slow down the process of assimilating American standards. The hospitals for insane, and correctional schools for boys and girls, Mexicans represent only a small percentage. No Sign of Ducks Riding the Storm Many hunters are of the opinion that the recent storm that covered a large portion of the Pacific coast will bring more ducks from the north into California. Although this may be true, there have been no reports to the State Division of Fish and Game as yet which would substantiate this claim. Division officials declare that temperature changes have the greatest influence on duck migrations. When snow and ice cover the feeding grounds in the north and the states in the west, the ducks naturally have to migrate to other fields. In the majority of cases out here in the far west the flight generally leads to California. Unless a freeze takes place the ducks usually remain wherever the feed is plentiful. It is sometimes true that a strom will scatter the ducks and cause some to leave and hunt for milder weather. By this theory it would seem that the While engineers, city officials and citizens studied with intense interest the Metropolitan Aqueduct route report and recommendations recently made by Chief Engineer Frank E. Weymouth of the Metropolitan Water District, Southern California generally hailed the engineering document as bringing the benefits of Colorado River water one long step closer to the homes of this area. Following a detailed study of some sixty possible aqueduct routes and a final searching investigation of six of these lines, Weymouth recommended in favor of an aqueduct line with its intake at the Upper Parker dam site on Colorado River. The Parker intake TELEVISION Ten years ago the election of President Harding was one of the first attempts at radio broadcasting. Nobody could buy a radio receiving set in 1929 because they were none on the market. Only amateur electricians who made their own sets could get anything "on the air." Television is in the same stage today as broadcasting was in 1920. The Chicago Daily News broadcast pictures of election charts on the night of November 4. Only those could pick them out of the air who had built television receiving apparatus. There are no television receivers for sale. But there are thousands of eager amateurs experimenting in television in 1930. Just as there were thousands experimenting in ordinary radio reception in 1920 And in another ten years everybody may be able to stay at home and see pictures of events as they happen, by means of some sort of receiving device not yet invented.

It is sometimes true that a strom will scatter the ducks and cause some to leave and hunt for milder weather. By this theory it would seem that the ducks that come in from the north at this time would just about balance up for the ducks that leave for the southern fields during the unsettled weather. There is this advantage, however, the fine rains have filled many of the ponds with good fresh water and this should attract the ducks in larger numbers than have been present so far this season. The real benefit will not be realized until later on when the food growth has had a chance to develop in the freshly filled ponds. Reusch On Cruise With Philco Dealers William Reusch, representative of Superior Radio Service well known Philco radio dealer at 304-8 W Center, returned Sunday night with three hundred other prominent Philco dealers and salesmen from a two-day convention cruise aboard the steamship "Emma" Alexander to Ensenada, where he was the guest of the H. R. Curtiss Company, Philco distributors for Southern California. Mr. Reusch reported this was the most convention he ever attended. He said "we had the time of our lives. The trip going down and coming back was splendid, and we learned a lot from two of Philco's executives, Harry Boyd Brown, retail market expert, and R. F. "Bob" Herr, service engineer, who were sent out especially by the factory to meet and talk to us on this cruise. Harry Curtiss and Claude Foote of the H. R. Curtiss Company, also contributed real worth while messages at the meeting." WORK A charitably-inclined association of apple growers sent several carloads of apples to New York City, to be given to the unemployed. Some 1,500 men began peddling apples at a nickle price, and in the first week took in about $12,000, or about $8 each. This did not do them any good nor relieve the unemployed situation. It was charity and beggary, only slightly disguised. On the other hand, the agreement by a group of citizens to finance a general cleaning-up of parks, vacant lots and unsightly rubbish-heaps, actually provided work for some thousands of unemployed. Any relief measure which does not require the recipient to work for what he gets is foolishly sentimental and dangerous. Once the average person finds he can get something for nothing, he loses his taste for giving the equivalent in work for every dollar he receives. PROHIBITION The election on November 4 was decidedly a "wet" victory in many parts of the United States, including the principal cities. There is no question that millions of people who have heretofore always voted "dry" and who are in favor of prohibition in principle, have become disgusted with the prohibition law and its enforcement as it stands, and want a change. I personally know many ladies who have been ardent "dry" workers who voted for "wet" candidates for Congress on no other ground. I have no solution to offer for the liquor problem.

Engineer Weymouth Selects Safest, Most Economical Colorado Aqueduct Route Chief Engineer Frank E. Weymouth Metropolitan Water District PARKER INTAKE SITE PROPOSED METROPOLITAN AQUEDUCT PICACHO INTAKE SITE LAGUNA DAM UNITED STATES MEXICO ANAHEIM GAZETTE Z. Weymouth, of the Metropolitan Water District, is here shown pointing to the Parker route selected by him as safest of all routes for the great Metropolitan Aqueduct from the Colorado River to Cities in the Water District. would be about 150 miles south of the Hoover dam in Boulder Canyon. Chief Engineer Weymouth stated that he favored the Parker line because: 1. It will deliver water to the Metropolitan District at a lower cost than any other route, all elements of cost considered. 2. It passes over and through geological formations much safer than those encountered by any other route. 3. It will be entirely in California and therefore free of complications and tax burdens encountered by a route passing through another state. Headed by Thaddeus Merriman, chief engineer of the New York City Water System, an engineering Board of Review retained by the Board of Directors of the District is scheduled to make an independent study of the aqueduct route question. This board, in addition to Mr. Merriman, includes A. J. Wiley, consulting engineer of Boise, Idaho, and Richard R. Lyman, consulting engineer of Salt Lake City, Utah. A comparison of the Metropolitan Aqueduct with the Owens River Aqueduct now serving Los Angeles, brings to light some interesting facts. For instance: The Owens River Aqueduct is 250 miles long; the Parker route for the Metropolitan Aqueduct is 265 miles long, or only 15 miles longer. Los Angeles' present Aqueduct is capable of supplying water needs of 2,000,000 persons; the Metropolitan Aqueduct will supply 7,500,000—or almost four times as many. The cost of the Metropolitan Aqueduct will be relatively lower on the basis of population and assessed valuation than was the Owens River Aqueduct. While the Metropolitan Aqueduct's estimated cost ($207,000,000) is about eight times the original cost of the Owens River Line, the population and the assessed valuation of the District is more than ten times greater than was the population and assessed valuation of Los Angeles at the time that city voted the Owens River Aqueduct bond issue in 1907. in "hard-liquor" is a problem with which every civilized government in the world is wrestling. TREES The Forest Service is out with its annual warning against depleting the forests by cutting too many young spruce, fir and pine for Christmas trees. Where they grow thickly it is good forestry practice to thin them out, but too many farmers will clear off an entire hillside top for the sake of sending their trees to a cash market. This is not likely to be a good year in the Christmas-tree market, and farmers are warned not to begin cutting until they have made all arrangements for the sale of Christmas trees to responsible buyers. I like the custom which prevails in the South of decorating living trees at Christmas time. I have soldom seen anything more beautiful than Riverside Avenue in Jacksonville with the trees blazing with colored lights. It is much more sensible than the habit of denuding our forest areas for a sentimental practice. CONGRESS As I write, the Democratic party seems to have won practical control of both houses of Congress. President Hoover will not be the first president with a Congress of the other party on his hands. Constructive legislation will not necessarily be held up by reason of that fact. Partisan measures undoubtedly will be blocked, and much political capital will be made by both parties out of the failure of the Democrats to approve the President's policies on one hand. Wins $100 in Gold In Essay Contest Pheasants Freed In Selected Territory Although the warm weather has proven to be a severe hindrance to the duck hunters, it has created a big advantage for the phasant enthusiasts, according to reports from the State Division of Fish and Game. Many sportsmen are taking advantage of the situation and are liberating the birds in selected territory. Some of these men contend that the mild weather allows the birds to become accustomed to the strange surroundings before being shouldered with winter protection problems. Whether this contention bears any weight in the welfare of the birds or not is a matter for debate and much can be said on both sides of the question. At any rate it is known that the warm weather will not do the birds any harm out in the wild places. During the past week 16 crates bearing 160 pheasants have been shipped to two locations from the state game farm at Yountville. The birds arrived at destinations in good condition and there were but two fatalities reported. Eight crates were sent to the J. M. Carson ranch, near Arcata. The birds were liberated in the Arcata bottoms along the Mad river and took to the wilds readily. The other consignment of eight crates was delivered at the Fern Cottage ranch, near Ferndale. This ranch is the property of Russ Williams. These birds also adopted themselves to the new surroundings quite readily. CONGRESS As I write, the Democratic party seems to have won practical control of both houses of Congress. President Hoover will not be the first president with a Congress of the other party on his hands. Constructive legislation will not necessarily be held up by reason of that fact. Partisan measures undoubtedly will be blocked, and much political capital will be made by both parties out of the failure of the Democrats to approve the President's policies on the one hand, and the refusal of the President to approve Congressional action, on the other hand. In South America or Europe, an election resulting as this one did would carry the head of the government out of office. The position of the President of the United States, serving for a fixed term, is almost unique. His office combines that of a king and a premier, with the security in office—for a time—that a king enjoys, and the party responsibility of a prime minister. Nimrods Anxious for Coming Quail Season Anaheim nimrods were scheduled to chaff this week pending opening of the quail season on December 1. Every year a large delegation of local sportsmen invade the Imperial and Coachilla valleys on combination quill-duck hunt and generally return with sufficient luscious birds to make pleasant memories last at least a year. L. N. Wisser, local sportsman and West Center street merchant, anticipates that a goodly number of Anaheim sportsmen will be heading toward San Diego county and vicinity early next week. When a trader sells stocks short on the market that is regarded as smart financing, but when a fellow out in the sticks sells something he hasn't got, the grand jury handles him. Why hasn't some enterprising Yankee invented miniature horse racing on a merry-go-round? HAROLD A. BARTLETT Harold A. Bartlett, Pomona realtor, has been adjudged winner of the $100.00 in gold awarded by the local bronch of the North American Building-Loan Association, in the statewide Essay contest conducted by all branches of the North American system on the subject of "What Building Loan Means to Me," according to announcement made by Wm. J. Slemann, Vice President Manager of the local office. Slemann stated that each of the six districts posted a prize of $100.00, and that from these six the two best will be selected and become eligible for additional awards of $250.09 and $150.00 respectively. The winners of these prizes will be announced over radio KFI next Sunday morning. Essays from contestants in Fullerton, Orange, Pomona, Claremont, Santa Ana, Brea, Garden Grove, Long Beach, and Ontario were received in addition to those from Anaheim. Mr. Bartlett's essay was selected from those submitted to the local office by Joseph A. Clayes, principal of the Anaheim Union High School. Money was rushed from the United States to Cuba by airplane the other day to stop a money panic in Havana. Another example of Yankee imperialism. Before it will be possible to have a United States of Europe we will have to develop at least one European George Washington to go with it. Earm products of last year amounted to twelve and a quarter billion dollars, three billion of which came from the American cow. NOTICE — COUNTY TAXES DELINQUENT ON FRIDAY, DEC. 5, 1930.

STARTING NEW WELL The Cypress Petroleum Co., which recently brought in a strong oil well in the Inglewood field, is preparing to drill one in the Rosecrans field near Compton. The Rosecrans field is an old one which has shown little activity in drilling for two or three years, but the producing wells are still making a good showing. The Cypress company expects to strike oil at a depth of about 5,899 feet. The company's new well at Inglewood is taking about 250 barrels of good oil a day, and it has stimulated other companies into activity in that field.
