Dawes' Successor? Charles Francis Adams, Secretary of the Navy, whose grandfather was Minister to England during the Civil War, his great-grandfather and great-great-grandfather Presidents of the United States, who may succeed General Dawes as Ambassador to Great Britain. Methods of Rat Proofing Told U. S. Department of Agriculture Publishes Booklet on Means of Control of Pest Modern building principles and rat proofing go hand in hand, says a new Farmers' Bulletin on "Rat Proofing Buildings and Premises" just issued by the United States department of agriculture. These principles call for the use of well-made concrete and stell, and other indestructible and noncombustible materials that are too much for even $235.77 Average Cost For Pupil Orange County Paid Huge Sum For Education In 1930; Student Costs Summed Up The high schools of Orange county expended an average of $235.77 for maintenance per pupil in average daily attendance during the school year 1930, according to a study of maintenance costs of California high schools, recently completed by the educational commission of California Taxpayers' association. The study, which considers high schools by student population, shows that the larger the number of pupils in average daily attendance, the lower the average maintenance cost per pupil. Schools throughout the state with 1,000 or more pupils in attendance show an average cost of $187.04 per pupil, while schools with a pupil population of less than 100 show an average maintenance cost of $308.94. Thirty-five high schools in California have an attendance of over 1,000 pupils, while fifty-eight have less than 100 students in average daily attendance. The maintenance cost for schools having an enrollment of between 100 and 199 pupils was found to average $274.04, costing, on an average, $34.90 less than those schools which had less than 100 pupils. The cost for schools in which the attendance lies between 200 and 399 averaged $222.10; for those between 400 and 599, $217.15; for those between 600 and 799, the average cost was $209.02; for those between 800 and 1,000, the cost was $197.46; while for schools with an attendance of over 1,000 the average cost was $187.04 per pupil. These figures show that the trend of the cost of maintenance of high schools is downward as the number of pupils in average daily attendance in the high school districts increases. Snow Great Aid To Lion Hunters While snows from the storms will undoubtedly create a certain hardship U.S. Department of Agriculture Publishes Booklet on Means of Control of Pest Modern building principles and rat proofing go hand in hand, says a new Farmers' Bulletin on "Rat Proofing Buildings and Premises" just issued by the United States department of agriculture. These principles call for the use of well-made concrete and stell, and other indestructible and noncombustible materials that are too much for even the sharpest of rodent incisors. They include also fire stopping in double walls and floors and the elimination of all dead spaces and dark corners where the rat can hide. The sanitary features provide for hygienic storage of food, and the rat can not live without something to eat. All new buildings should be made rat proof, says the bulletin. Cities in growing numbers have added rat-proofing clauses to their building ordinances with such good effect that others are sure to follow their lead. Builders should therefore compare the cost of rat proofing during construction with the probable cost later, in case local laws should require that all buildings be made rat proof. Copies Obtainable The cost of rat proofing all-the construction on many American farms the bulletin says, would amount to less than the loss occasioned by rats on the same farms in a single year. The pamphlet gives details and illustrates methods for rat proofing all kinds of farm structures, including barns, corncribs, granaries, and poultry houses. It also considers the rat proofing of city buildings, such as warehouses and markets, and suggests city-wide efforts toward the suppression of the rat pest. It includes a model ratproofing ordinance and an ordinance regulating the collection and disposal of garbage, prepared by the United States Public Health Service. Copies of the new publication, Farmers' Bulletin No. 1638-F, may be obtained free on request addressed to the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.C. Game Bulletin Being Published "The Quall of California" is the name of a new bulletin just off the press and ready for distribution by the Division of Fish and Game. It is designated as Game Bulletin No. 2. This bulletin was written by Donald D. McLean, field naturalist for the Division, and is one of the most complete bulletins ever issued on the subject. In gathering material for the work McLean traveled to all parts of the State. Hours of patient waiting were required in many instances before the necessary data was secured. Life history notes are made of the snow Great Aid To Lion Hunters While snows from the storms will undoubtedly create a certain hardship on the workers at the various trout hatcheries in the state, such winter conditions prove a great aid to hunters of lions for the Division of Fish and Game. Regardless of weather and adverse conditions the work at the hatcheries in the high mountain reaches must be performed to prevent the loss of thousands of fish and eggs. Snow shoes, skis and snow shovels are very much an evidence in some localities and the workers generally heave a sigh of relief when the warm spring weather sets in. On the other hand, the lion hunter finds trailing difficulties very much improved by a layer of snow on the ground. Not that well trained dogs cannot follow a trail in dry weather, but a layer of snow on the ground enables the hunter to pick up the telltale marks more quickly and thus hasten the work. Often a mountain lion will cross and across its trail many times while wandering around in search of food and such actions will slow the hunt whilst he dogs are locating the lead-out trail. With snow on the ground, the hunter can glance around, locate the line trail immediately, summon his dogs and proceed with out delay. Jay Bruce, lion hunter for the Division of Fish and Game, said that he can train young pups to hunt lions without the assistance of experienced dogs when there is several inches of snow on the ground. The hunter can trail the lion until it is frightened from its bedding place, he said, then the young dogs should be turned loose on the fresh tracks and urged to pursue the chase. There is less danger of the dogs becoming confused or lost by deer or other tracks. Once the dog has learned the scent from the lion track it can be trained to hunt no other animal. Savings Show That County Prosperous According to a survey made by V. D. Johnson, County publicity manager, the people of Orange county had on deposit, December 31, 1930, in the thirty-five banks of the county the sum of $40,813,345.50. Of this amount $21,998,724.44 were commercial deposits while $18,326,368.17 were commercial deposits alone.

"The Quail of California" is the name of a new bulletin just off the press and ready for distribution by the Division of Fish and Game. It is designated as Game Bulletin No. 2. This bulletin was written by Donald D. McLean, field naturalist for the Division, and is one of the most complete bulletins ever issued on the subject. In gathering material for the work McLean traveled to all parts of the State. Hours of patient waiting were required in many instances before the necessary data was secured. Life history notes are made of the three main types of California quail—mountain quail, valley quail and desert or Gambel quail. An excellent account is biven of various subspecies of this bird family. Diseases and parasites of the valley quail are also explained in this bulletin. Inestimating the speed at which the birds fly and walk, McLean spent hours racing quail with his automobile before he was able to make an accurate check. Many times the birds would pursue a course parallel with the highway and the test would be a failure. The work is written in an interesting style and can be readily understood by any person who is interested in our own native game bird. The writer also includes a paragraph on the introduction of Gambel or desert quall into other states. Copies of this bulletin may be obtained upon request from the Division of Fish and Game. Anaheim Composer In National Limelight Two new musical compositions of Louis Danz, Anaheim musician, have received attention from the prominent review they received in Musical America. In the latest issue of the musical magazine, the two numbers adding to the Anaheim composer's "Scenes from Contemporary Life" are "Robots" and "Aesthetics of Machinery." The first is noted for its syncopated and changing rhythms and the second for its staccato and steely thirds and tone clusters. Savings Show That County Prosperous According to a survey made by V. D. Johnson, County publicity manager, the people of Orange county had on deposit, December 31, 1930, in the thirty-five banks of the county the sum of $40,813,345.50. Of this amount $21,998,724.44 were commercial deposits while $18,326,368.17 had been placed in savings accounts by thrifty people of prosperous Orange county. Another encouraging feature of the yearly check-up shows a marked increase in the resources of the various building and loan companies of the county. At the close of 1929, these resources totaled $15,042,278.80. While the combined report is not as yet available, a careful estimate gives the resources at the close of 1931, as $17,550,-551.38, an increase of more than $2,500,000. Three Great Men of Letters Seldom do three such famous figures in literature get their photographs. From left to right these gentlemen are G. K. the famous English essayist, Professor William Lyon Phoremost American literary critic, and George W. Russell essayist and painter whose work appears under the pen name Reports Needs of Drought Victims Will Rogers, cowboy humorist and philosopher, starting with famous flyer Captain Frank Hawks, to visit the Arkansas region where the Red Cross is feeding and clothing 550,000 persons. "It's the worst need I ever saw," Will Rogers telegraphs from Pine Bluff.

NOTICE INVITING SEALED PROPOSALS FOR FURNISHING ROAD GRADER NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that sealed proposals will be received by the City Council of the City of Anaheim, at the office of the City Clerk of said City, up to eight o'clock p.m. of Tuesday, February 24, 1931, for furnishing one Road Grader. Plans are being completed at the Los Angeles University of International Relations for a summer tour of 14 countries and 35 cities in Central and South America, in charge of Dr. Mary Sinclair Cressford, dean of women at the University of Southern California, and Dr. Henry Niese, honorary vice consul in Los Angeles from Argentina. Personnel of the party will comprise students of Spanish and foreign service travel-minded citizens, and mature people interested in, securing first-hand knowledge of the culture and commerce of our southern neighbors. Mexico, Central America, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, and Trinidad are in the itinerary. The tour is being organized for the purpose of giving to those interested in great world movements opportunity of understanding the life and cultures of increasing importance to our own national life," states Dr. R. B. von KleinSmid, Chairman of the L. A. U. L.R. Civil Receptions The group will be received and officially entertained by Latin-American universities, government leaders, clubs, and social groups. The tour will leave way of Los Angeles and return by way of New York, the inclusive dates being announced as June 15 to August 28. With an itinerary of 18,000 miles, the travel and lecture schedule will afford such sharp contrasts as a journey across the snow-covered Andes, through which trains can only travel twice a week, and a trip of 400 miles through the tropical jungles of Brazil. The Army Aviation field at Coco Solo; Valparaiso, Chile; the "pearl of the South Pacific" and the most important commercial center on the west coast of South America; Buenos Aires, the "Paris" of South America, which will be reached in the height of the social season; Lima, the "city of kings"; Rio de Janeiro, said to be the most beautifully located city in the world; Santos, Montevideo, and Bahia are in the educational travel schedule. Air Transport Line Now Has 24 Planes With Voice Radio Transcontinental & Western Air and Western Air Express have just completed installation on 24 planes of equipment for, and actually operating, two-way voice communication, and twenty ground stations are in use. The transmitters on the planes are rated at 50 watts and the ground stations, which are located at the fields across the continent, are rated at 400 watts. HUMIDITY The hot-air furnace is coming back into popularity, partly because it has been improved so that it is not the dust-spreader which it used to be, and partly because it is the simplest means of warming a house with air which is properly humidified. The most recent improvements in furnaces provide a water tank twice as big as used to be thought necessary, with the result that less fuel is needed to keep the house temperature comfortable. Humid air always feels warmer than dry air at the same temperature. The most modern factory and office buildings have no windows which can be opened. All of the air breathed by these occupying them is drawn through a water bath to wash it and humidify it, heated or cooled to the same temperature the year around and pumped by fans into every room, while other fans draw out the foul air. Some day this system will be available for dwellings and we shall all live more healthfully. WORRY It's an old saying that worry kills more people than work ever did. Now comes Dr. William Mayo, famous surgeon of Rochester, Minn., and points out that doctors, especially surgeons, die from heart disease because they worry about their patients and suppress their emotions. Most people worry about something. Worry is the little sister of fear. Most of us are afraid of things which we need not be afraid of. More people are afraid of making a bad impression on others than of any other one thing. The secret of long life, apparently, is to do nothing which will give cause for worry later on. But if we were all wise enough to do that this would be a different sort of world than it is. UNEMPLOYMENT One lesson which we have learned from the present condition of unemployment is that industry and society are now yet organized to take care of emergencies, which throw people out of work. Many able minds are working now on plans which may prevent such wholesale unemployment in future. It is certain that we can prevent the recurrence of similar emergencies only by closer coordination of all industry and business, so that production in private enterprises and development of public improvements can be planned ahead of a long-time schedule. ALASKA Now Has 24 Planes With Voice Radio Transcontinental & Western Air and Western Air Express have just completed installation on 24 planes of equipment for, and actually operating, two-way voice communication, and twenty ground stations are in use. The transmitters on the planes are rated at 50 watts and the ground stations, which are located at the fields across the continent, are rated at 400 watts. Costa Mesa Men Sent to Hospital In Accident B. W. Logan, 73, of Costa Mesa, was removed to the county hospital after suffering a broken leg when struck by an automobile driven by Phillip Wangier of Santa Ana at Costa Mesa Sunday evening. ALASKA It won't be long before there is a motor highway all the way from Seattle to Fairbanks, Alaska. The commissioners appointed by the President to study the feasibility of such a road have made some interesting discoveries about Fairbanks. It is exactly half way around the world from Petrograd, Russia, and only a little farther north. It is nearer to Japan and the Philippines than Honolulu is. An extremely interesting map of the "top of the world" has been published in this connection by the U.S. Department of the Interior. It shows how the world would look if you could view it from a point directly above the North Pole. Anybody who wants a copy of that map can get it free by writing to Chief Clerk, Department of the Interior, Washington. Alaska is going to be one of the important regions of the United States in time, and it is worth anybody's time to study it now. WIND German scientists have discovered that the effect of high winds on vegetation is to retard growth. Trying to find a way of protecting fruit trees, bushes, vegetables and flowers from the effects of wind, they tried screens made of ordinary wire netting such as is used for fly-screens. The effect was remarkable. The screen lets enough air through but breaks up a gale into a gentle breeze. It does not need to surround the plants, but only to protect them on the windward side. Vegetation protected by screens of this sort are reported to have grown fifty percent faster than those unprotected and have yielded larger crops.
