President Hoover's First Two Years Two Major Government Programs Reach Their Culmination WASHINGTON, D. C.—At the close of the second year of the Hoover administration a survey of events and accomplishments discloses two major governmental programs reaching their culmination. The first involving the fulfillment of party pledges made in the campaign of 1928 is practically completed. The second, necessitated by the world-wide economic upheaval and drought has reached a stage where the months of planning, organization and coordination are bearing fruit with promise of being increasingly beneficial in the ensuing months, says a report from the emergency committee for employment. The Second Program Outstanding in the working out of the second program of the Hoover administration are the following significant facts: An organization set up by the President and his assistants to combat the effects of the industrial depression and the drought is now functioning on a nation-wide scale. Through the president's Emergency Committee for Employment, headed by George A. Woods, its activities have been coordinated in every state, city and community. The construction campaign, a vital part of the president's rehabilitation plan has progressed to the point where semi-public work contemplated for this year or definitely under way has attained the cohesal sum of almost six billion dollars. $700,000,000 for 1931 The expenditures of the Federal government alone in 1931 for construction projects will amount to $700,000,000. This is in contrast to an expenditure of $750,000,000 in normal years. Tariff Commission Created Creation of a tariff commission which has already begun its work of removing inequalities in the tariff law. Five recommendations for change of rates have already been made by the commission. Ratification of debt settlements. Settlement of war claims. Ratification of the London Treaty by the Senate as a further guarantee to international peace. Creation of the Federal Farm Board which has undertaken the very important and difficult work of organizing farmers into farmer-owned and controlled system of cooperatives to place agriculture on a basis of equality with industry. Federal Aid Given Continued improvement of inland waterways. Increased Federal support for highways. Administration assistance in railroad consolidation with a view to furnishing greater efficiency. Assistance to the Merchant Marine. Additional funds and further work on the Mississippi river system flood relief and control project. Great additional aid and compensation extended to veterans. A zeaous conservation policy established in regard to National resources. Political Wheels of Washington By JAMES L. WEST A very bitter fight over prohibition candidates in the next Democratic national convention appeared on the rizon as the Democratic national committee gathered in Washington to consider a declaration against prohibition. Even should Chairman John J. Taskob win his fight in the national committee on prohibition, the subject still would be left to the convention since the platform is drawn by the resolutions committee and has to be The smallest refuge is the city of Walnut Creek, county, and consists of five acres. Despite this small number of fine birds are thriving under absolute pressure, the largest sanctuaries at Monterey and Lassen comprise an area of about these large tracts of land regularly by mounted deer every effort is being made to ideal conditions for quail. Careful watch is kept that will be asset in the work of consummate summary action is also taken all hunters who invade areas. The construction campaign, a vital part of the president's rehabilitation plan has progressed to the point where semi-public work contemned for this year or delinquently under way has attained the cohesal sum of almost six billion dollars. $700,000,000 for 1931 The expenditures of the Federal government alone in 1931 for construction projects will amount to $700,000,000. This is in contrast to an expenditure of $250,000,000 in normal years. Nearly every state, city and community are increasing their building programs in response to the President's appeals. Private enterprise has been equally stimulated and while estimates are not yet complete it is expected that its activities will be proportionately increased. Complete reports are not yet available on the highway construction, public building and river and harbor projects, other than Federal, throughout the country. Partial reports indicate the extent of cooperation being given the administration's program. $650,000,000 for State Roads Thirty-eight states will spend more than $650,000,000 for state highways during the current year, statistics collected by Colonel Woods show. Further construction amounting to more than $225,000,000 will be undertaken this year by the same states according to plans already outlined and awaiting only authorization of states' legislatures. These reports by no means constitute the entire state highway program of the country nor do they oven account for the whole amount of highway wrok which will be done in the reporting states. There is no available figure on the amount of money which will be spent for roads and streets by counties, cities and the smaller political units of the nation. For Public Buildings Public building construction already planned or contemplated funishes another example of cooperation in the drive against unemployment. Twenty-nine states estimates expenditures in this connection at the sum of $132,000,000 for 1931. Thirty-nine states have already taken up portions of the emergency appropriations of December 20 for use in matching regular Federal aid and highway funds. Still another example of the universal aspect of cooperation in the emergency program is the report received by Colonel Woods' committee that building in the educational field is being accelerated with upwards of $300,000,000 worth of work definitely in sight for this year. Wage Scales Maintained Two great means of preventing suffering and maintaining the economic standard despite adverse circumstances. A very bitter fight over prohibition and candidates in the next Democratic national convention appeared on the viroas as the Democratic national committee gathered in Washington to consider a declaration against prohibition. Even should Chairman John J. Raskob win his fight in the national committee on prohibition, the subject still would be left to the convention since the platform is drawn by the resolutions committee and has to be approved by the convention. The dry south and great arid portions of the west will be lined up in this fight against the east and it is within the realm of possibility that it will rival in bitterness the famous Smith-McAdoo row at the 1924 Democratic national convention in Old Madison Square Garden. Dry democrats in congress have made it practically clear in advance of the national committee meeting that they would oppose to the bitter end any proposition to commit the party to a declaration against prohibition. Raskob as one of the chief contributors to the association against the prohibition amendment and his chief lieutenant, Jouett Shouse, national executive chairman, backed by Alfred E. Smith, John W. Davis and James E. Cox, will carry on their fight through the next year and three months preceding the meeting of the national convention. There is a mad scramble for the party nomination. Seven candidates who would be the democratic standard bearer are now in the field. Of these, six are wet. They hail from the east and middle west. The seventh, Senator Joseph T. Robinson, vice-presidential candidate in 1928, has the distinction of being the lone southerner, the lone dry among the plethora of democratic aspirants. The flood of democratic candidates has expanded rapidly in recent weeks. In addition to the three hardy annuals, Robinson, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Smith, the name of Owen D. Young, chairman of the board of the General Electric company, began to be heard in the lobbles of congress not long since. The fourth inaugural address of Albert C. Ritchie, Maryland perennial governor, was construed as tautamount to tossing the Ritchie hat into the ring. Ritchie-for-President clubs have since been organized in a dozen states. Then came the news from Kansas City stating that former Senator "Jim" Reed was only awaiting an opportunity occasion to announce his candidacy. The end is not yet, J. Ham Lewis, Careful watch is k pt and birds that show any prey on the quail and the all such alleged predators sent to Captain Welch for In this way a complete comnexion of the quail is posed record is kept that will be asset in the work of consummation action is also to all hunters who invade areas. HOUSES Houses cost too much good enough when they are paid for. That is what Atterbury, one of the m architects, declares, and agree with him. There important improvement in ing of homes in a thou houses are still made to a expensive hand processes. Working people ought to buy permanent homes for they now cost; homes deteriorate in twenty ye ards and which will keep out without constant repairs. get them. Mr. Atterbury is to build them in facti chinery. He has done that with houses on Long Island: single brackets or boards "on the job," whole wall partitions, roofs, were or forced concrete and fitted a couple of workmen who The result is houses wh comfortable in hot wea weather, which will last years, and which cost ab similar houses built in thie Eventually some such be in general use and be able to own a durabl TAXES Comparatively few moe being taxed for high ma form a sales tax but posticans always new ways of paying more their benchmen are try states to divert gaa ether than highway purp Wage Scales Maintained Two great means of preventing suffering and maintaining the economic standard despite adverse circumstances were instituted by the President when the seriousness of the depression first became evident. The agreement with employers to maintain wage scales and retain forces to the fullest possible extent by spreading work was unique. Never before had such an agreement been made. In previous times of economic distress wages were slashed and employees discharged at once. The importance of the President's action in this respect cannot be overestimated. Nor can his work in achieving an understanding between employees and employers to prevent labor disputes be overvalued. By his policy in regard to emergency and other legislation the President has demonstrated not only his humanity and complete comprehension of the situation and its needs but has also shown his firmness in opposition to measures engendered by hysteria or politics which might do the nation lasting harm. The Other Program The other program, that of carrying out the plans announced in 1928, represents great achievements which have been obscured by the fact that the attention of the nation has been centered on the depression and its problems. In summary the high lights of that Republican program which have already been completed include the following: Great economics effected in the operation of the Federal government with a general increase in efficiency. Reduction of taxes by $160,000,000. Reduction of the public debt by more than a billion dollars. Enactment of a tariff law which in the first year of its existence demonstrated its value by preserving American commodity prices from 20 to 30 per cent above world levels. The fourth inaugural address of Albert C. Ritchie, Maryland perennial governor, was construed as tantamount to tossing the Ritchie hat into the ring. Ritchie-for-President clubs have since been organized in a dozen states. Then came the news from Kansas City stating that former Senator "Jim" Reed was only awaiting an opportune occasion to announce his candidacy. The end is not yet, J. Ham Lewis, newly elected senator from Illinois, has formally announced himself. There probably will be others between now and June, 1932. Some of the friends in Washington of Gov. Alfred E. Smith have the hope that he can be renominated by the simple process of Franklin D. Roosevelt withdrawing in his favor after the battle over the nomination is reached and deadlocked. The 1928 Roosevelt candidate became committed for outright repeal of the 18th amendment. There is gossip now that some way is sought whereby he can take the same moderate stand of modification of the Volstead act and a revision of the Constitutional amendment. California Has 700 Quail Sanctuaries California now has more than 700 quail sanctuaries, according to a report by Walter R. Welch, captain in charge of volunteer deputies of the Division of Fish and Game. These sanctuaries have been voluntarily established by farmers and land owners and are scattered over the entire area of the state. The work is progressing rapidly. It is estimated that these protected lands comprise about 500,000 acres of suitable quail habitat and that about 225,000 birds are sheltered in the area. These birds will act as the breeding stock from which the hunting grounds of the state will be replenished. Welch says that it will take at least three years, under favorable conditions, to bring the quail supply back to a safe margin from extermination. TAXES Comparatively few more being taxed for highway, the form of a sales tax put politicians, always to new ways of paying more their benchmen, are trying to divert the gains rather than bigway purity. This ought to be resented by everybody who believe have too many tax-care every dollar paid in taxes or drivers should be away from construction and masonry. FINGERPRINT Sir Edward H. Henry day. He was the envoy who introduced an idea practice the ancient od of identification by fire. For more than 2000 years of Eastern Asia use instead of signatures, can be forced, but no two identical fingerprints. To literally millions of fingerprints in the police headquarters. Every known creeprinted and photographed fingerprints are exchange lice departments. Banks, insurance companies and navies, all sorts of enterprises in which each individual must be known now uses fingerprints from birth until death, come when society will child to be fingerprinted the prints made a publisher such a system there any question as to whose children get mixed ward, or whether the person to be the missing heir is. ENGINES Experiments with the engine for airplanes are spite of many setbacks. Planes have made long localy but the questions Uncle Sam Appoints Girl Printer Apprentices Blanche E. Boisvert, Manchester, N. H. and Beulah A. Fairall, Odenton, Md., are the first girl printer apprentices ever to be appointed at the Government Printing Office in Washington, D. C. Both aspire to become master printers. The smallest refuge is located near the city of Walnut Creek, Contra Costa County, and consists of about three acres. Despite this small area a number of fine birds are said to be driving under absolute protection. The largest sanctuaries are located in Monterey and Lassen counties and comprise an area of about 22,000 acres. These large tracts of land are patrolled regularly by mounted deputies and every effort is being made to provide ideal conditions for quail. Careful watch is kept for animals and birds that show any tendency to fly on the quail and the stomachs of such alleged predators taken are sent to Captain Welch for examination. In this way a complete control of such nemesis of the quail is possible, and a record is kept that will be a valuable asset in the work of conservation. A summary action is also taken against all hunters who invade the closed areas. New Bee Station at University Farm Orange County beekeepers will be interested in the appointment of G. H. Vansell to head the Pacific Coast agriculture station just established by the United States Department of Agriculture at the university's branch of the College of Agriculture at Davis. He has the title of associate apiculturist in the Bureau of Entomology, United States Department of Agriculture. While Vansell's headquarters will be at the University farm at Davis, his work will be mostly in the field; his territory will embrace the Pacific Coast states. He will interest himself principally with disease of bees and their control. Vansell is a graduate of the University of Kansas, where he also received his master's degree. He pursued graduate work at Harvard, Stanford and the University of California. He came here to join the staff in 1922 from the University of Kentucky, where he was assistant professor of entomology and zoology. He has published four bulletins dealing with beekeeping, and has been for three years secretary of the California State Beekeeper's Association.

TOMORROW FRANK PARKER STOCKBRIDGE HOUSES Houses cost too much and are not good enough when they are finished and paid for. That is what Grosvernor Atterbury, one of the most famous architects, declares, and many others agree with him. There has been no important improvement in the building of homes in a thousand years; houses are still made to order, by expensive hand processes. Working people ought to be able to pay permanent homes for half what they now cost; homes that will not deteriorate in twenty years or fifty, and which will keep out the weather without constant repairs. The way to get them, Mr. Atterbury points out, is to build them in factories, by machinery. He has done that with a group of houses on Long Island. Instead of single brackets or boards put together "on the job," whole walls, floor slabs, partitions, roofs, were cast in reinforced concrete and fitted together by a couple of workmen with a derrick. The result is houses which are more comfortable in hot weather or cold weather, which will last hundreds of years, and which cost about half what similar houses built in the old way cost. Eventually some such system will be in general use and everybody will be able to own a durable home. TAXES Comparatively few motorists resent being taxed for highway upkeep, in the form of a sales tax on gasoline. Bus postcars, always trying to find new ways of paying more salaries to their benchmen, are trying in some states to divert the gasoline tax o'ther than highway purposes. The high pressure required makes it difficult to reduce the Diesel engine to the light weight required for motion. For ships and wherever crud or semi-refined oil is available cheap, it is highly economical in moderate-sized units, though probably not as economical in large units as the steam turbine. In aviation it is expected that the same weight of fuel will produce three times the mileage as gasoline, at a lower price per gallon. Sooner or later the Diesel engine will come into its own in the air and flying will be cheaper as well as safer from the fire risk. SPEED Baron Shiba, a Japanese, has invented a method of making motion pictures at the rate of 40,000 exposures a second. How fast that is one can imagine when it is realized that the "slow-motion" pictures shown in the theatres, of athletic performances and the like, are taken at the rate of only 100 a second. The faster, the rate of exposure, the slower the motion appears on the screen. Shiba's camera works 400 times as fast as the standard slow-motion machine. It reduces the invisible vibration of a bee's wing to a gentle faning motion so slow that the eye can hardly follow it! By means of this invention aeronautical engineers have been able for the first time to photograph the air-current set up by an airplane's propeller and discover what actually happens and how these currents affect the speed of the craft in the air. Thousands of other movements the precise nature of which is only guessed at will be disclosed by the new camera and the sum of human knowledge will be added to in many useful ways. Citrus Growers Meet to Hear Dr. Wellman Two public conferences for citrus growers of Orange county opened yesterday under the auspices of the agricultural extension service and citrus department of the Orange County Farm Bureau. A session was held at the Orange Union high school last evening under the sponsorship of the Foot Hill West Orange and Tustin farm centers. Another session was held this afternoon at the Garden Grove grammar school, under the sponsorship of the Anaheim and Garden Grove centers. Dr. H. R. Wellman, specialist in agricultural economics, University of California, was the speaker at both meetings, when he presented a summary of the recent economic survey of the citrus situation. Bean and beet sugar growers met at the farm advisor's office in Santa Ana yesterday morning, when Dr. Wellman spoke on the trends in planting, production and prices of these two products.

TAXES Comparatively few motorists resent being taxed or highway upkeep, in the form of a sales tax on gasoline, but politicians always trying to find new ways of paying more salaries to their benchmen, are trying in some states to divert the gasoline tax other than highway purposes. This ought to be reserved and fought by everybody who believes that we have too many tax-caters in America. Every dollar paid in taxes by car owners or drivers should be used for highway construction and maintenance. FINGERPRINTS Sir Edward R. Henry died the other day. He was the chief of Scotland Gard who introduced into modern police practice the ancient Chinese method of identification by fingerprints. For more than 2000 years the peoples of Eastern Asia used thumbprints instead of signatures. Any signature can be forced, but no two persons have identical fingerprints. Today there are literally millions of fingerprints on record in the police headquarters every nation. Every known criminal is fingerprinted and photographs of these fingerprints are exchanged between police departments. Banks, insurance companies, armies and navies, all sorts of business and enterprises in which the identity of an individual must be known with certainty now uses fingerprints records. Since the fingerprints never change from birth until death, the time will come when society will require every child to be fingerprinted at birth, and the prints made a public record. Under such a system there can never be any question as to whose baby when children get mixed in a hospital ward, or whether the person claiming to be the missing heir is the right one.
