Anaheim, Calif., April 9, 1881 TODAY AND TOMORROW FRANK PARKER STOCKBRIDGE HEREDITY Talent runs in families, says Arthur D. Howden-Smith, who has written the biographies of several famous Americans. He points to the Adams family, which has given the country two Presidents, one or two famous diplomats and the present Secretary of the Navy, as well as one great philosopher and several bankers. Another talented family is that of Roosevelt, with one President to its credit and three members now in public service, one as Governor of New York, another as Governor of Porto Rico and a third as Ambassador to Austria. The Du Ponts of Delaware have an unbroken record of high ability both in business and statesmanship, as the Morgans have in banking through four generations. The first Cornellus Vanderbilt seems to have transmitted his driving energy and much of his engineering talent as well as his business ability to all of his eleven children and most of their descendants. The La Follettes as a family have made a great start toward establishing a "dynasty." In Europe families like those would constitute the ruling class. But for every representative of a talented family in active public life here, we have a thousand who came up by their own unaided efforts, including such outstanding examples as Chief Justice Hughes, Alfred E. Smith and Herbert Hoover. MARRIAGE The action of the Federated Council of Churches of Christ in America in declaring that there is nothing inconvenient. Three Famous Fraternity Members Col.

Smith and Herbert Hoover. MARRIAGE The action of the Federated Council of Churches of Christ in America in declaring that there is nothing incompatible with the Christian religion in birth control, brings out sharply the contrast between Protestant and Catholic teachings about marriage and its concomitants. The Catholic church teaches that marriage is a sacrament and that to interfere with any of the natural consequences of marriage is against the will of God. The Protestant sects uniformly deny that. The Plymouth colonists, to whom almost all American Protestantism traces, had no minister at all for several years, but even after they had one they decided that the church had nothing to do with marriage, which was purely a civil contract, and it was not until 60 years or so after the settlement of New England that any marriage was performed in the colony by a minister. These two divergent points of view account for the differences of opinion in respect of divorce, also. Marriage is regarded as a civil contract it can be dissolved by the civil power; if it is a God-given sacrament only God can dissolve it. So long as there are two opposing opinions on the subject, held by such large numbers on both sides, marriage, birth control and divorce will be debatable subjects. GRAFT Whether there is any more graft and corruption on the part of politicians in the big cities, in proportion to population, than there is ni many smaller communities, is a question to which nobody can give a satisfactory answer. It does not always take the same form, but it is curious how prosperous many rural sheriffs, supervisors and selectmen become. Several cities have abolished the old system of electing their administrative officials, employing a city manager instead, report that not only is the expense to the taxpayers much lower but that public money does not flow nearly so rapidly into private pockets. This is a good time for taxpayers to be inquisitive about how their tax money is spent. HARVESTER Just one hundred years ago, in 1831, the first harvester was demonstrated by Cyrus Hall McCormick before a group of farmers of Rockledge County, Virginia. District Association By EERIC E. EASTMAN, Assistant Farm Advisor A regional association of beet growers was organized at Oxnard on April 2, which will affiliate and cooperate with the National Beet Growers association. The act-up of the association follows the principles laid down by the Federal Farm Board at Washington for such organizations. The articles of incorporation provide for seven directors, to be apportioned each year according to the sugar beet acreage is the several beet producing areas of Southern California. The 1931 apportionment is four directors from the Oxnard district, three from the Santa Ana district, and two from the Lompac area. The directors from the Santa Ana district are Walter J. Pollard, of the Santa Ana district; W. J. Roberts of the Corona an deastern area, and Oscar Watte of the Alamitos area. The northern directors are Joe McGrath, Ben Laubacher, J. H. Summers, J. W. Ronney, W. R. Beattle, and W. J. McInnes. The officers elected were: Joe McGrath of Oxnard, president; W. J. Pollard of Santa Ana, vice-president; Ben Laubacher, secretary-treasurer. The place of business of the organization is at Oxnard, and the official name is "Southern California Beet Growers Association." The articles of incorporation are to be filed with the California Secretary of State, and the bonding of the secretary-treasurer and other usual procedures are being attended to by the president and secretary of the organization. Field Meets On Orchard Management A field meeting for citrus growers of Placentia, Yorba Linda and La Habra, will be held at Ralph McFadden orchard at 0 o'clock this Friday morning. The meeting will feature discussions on spring irrigation, cultivation, scaly bark and the disease control measures. This will be an opportunity for growers to secure the latest information right in the field. Discussions will be lead by W. R. Schoonover, citrus specialist, University of California; Harold E. Wahlberg, farm advisor of Orange county; and W. H. Wright, deputy horticultural commissioner.

HARVESTER Just one hundred years ago, in 1831, the first harvester was demonstrated by Cyrus Hall McCormick before a group of farmers of Rockledge County, Virginia. McCormick's invention has been called the pivot on which the industrial revolution turned. By making it possible for fewer people working on the farms to feed more people in the towns, it released labor from agriculture to work in the engineering industries. Where it took three-quarters of the population, a century ago, to feed themselves and the other one-quarter, now all of the people can be fed by the labor of only one-tenth of their number. The overproduction of agricultural commodities, from which the whole world is suffering today, is due to failure to control the agricultural machine's output. Many remedies are proposed. The one which seems most likely to cure the situations, if it can be applied, is the Farm Board's program of limitation of acreage in the staple crops. Today, the more all of the farmers grow the less each of them makes. It is a curious paradox that there is more profit in less production. FLYING More air-miles of travel were paid for by the people of the United States in the past year than in any previous twelve-month. Business men and others are getting the habit of flying from city to city to save time. Between Washington and New York, for example, the fastest trains take five hours. The airplane does it in two. A New York business man, having to see the Income Tax Unit of the Treasury, for instance, can leave the city at half past seven in the morning, be at the Treasury before ten, and if he is not detained can take a plane back at twelve, arriving at his office a little after two, with a lot of time left in the business day.

Woman Astronomer Looks at Stars Lois T. Slocum Tells of What She Sees in Sky From Mt. Hamilton SHE VIEWS MILKY WAY Spent Months Photographing and Computing Are the thousands of stars visible to the naked eye, and the millions which reveal themselves to the telescope merely sparks in a gigantic pinwheel? Space through which it passes. Before accurate calculations of star distance could be made it was necessary to make corrections for this absorption of light. The task took many months of careful photographing and computing. Theodore Dreiser (above) got sore when Sinclair Lewis (below) accused him of stealing a chapter from one of Mrs. Lewis' books. Dreiser slapped Lewis' face and that was that. Poultrymen Plan State Association Preliminary plans for an organization are being taken by the Poultrymen's State-Wide Protective association, launched at Pomona a week ago, are being taken by the adoption of a name and the appointment of a committee to SHE VIEWS MILKY WAY Spent Months Photographing and Computing Are the thousands of stars visible to the naked eye, and the millions which reveal themselves to the telescope merely sparks in a gigantic pinwheel? Is the universe, of which the earth is an infinitesimal part, merely one of millions of spiral nebulae whirling around in space? From studies of the distribution of faint stars just completed by Lois T. Slocum, graduate student of the University of California Lick Observatory, on Mt. Hamilton, the answer to these two questions would seem to be "yes." She finds that the faint stars in certain areas of the Milky Way are apparently in greater concentrations at specific distances from the earth as if they formed a gauzy streamer which spirals through some 18,000,000,000,000,-000,000 miles of space. Star Concentration Varies She finds that there is a steady decrease in the concentration of stars as the telescope pierces, space, reaching a minimum about 27 million billion miles from the earth. Then between 36 and 45 million billion miles away there is an increase in the concentration of stars, apparently one of the spirals, and again at 108 million billion miles there is a concentration, apparently the end of this great spiral. This information corroborates the findings of Astronomer R. J. Trumpler of Lick Observatory in a study of the distribution of star clusters in the Milky Way. Method She Uses The method used by Miss Slocum in determining the distance of the scores of faint stars included in her study is based upon a comparatively new discovery of the relation of star color as shown in the spectroscope, to the absolute brightness or magnitude of the star. By determining the exact color of each star by passing its light through a prism of crystal in the telescope; it is possible to compute its absolute magnitude, that is the brightness it would have were it brought closer to the earth and studied at a standard distance. Decrease Measures Distance Once an astronomer has the absolute magnitude of a star its distance can be determined by contrasting the absolute magnitude with the magnitude which it appears to have when looked at through a simple telescope. It is known that the magnitude or brightness of a light source decreases at the same rate as the square of its distance increases. That is, a candle appears... Decrease Measures Distance Once an astronomer has the absolute magnitude of a star its distance can be determined by contrasting the absolute magnitude with the magnitude which it appears to have when looked at through a simple telescope. It is known that the magnitude or brightness of a light source decreases at the same rate as the square of its distance increases. That is, a candle appears only one-fourth as bright when it is twice as far away, and only one-sixteenth as bright when it is four times as far away. The same law holds for stars. Stars Absorb Light One complication that Miss Slocum had to overcome was the absorption of light from the stars by the floating matter in space before it reaches the earth. She found, as did Astronomer Trumpler, that starlight coming from the Milky Way is affected by the numerous gases of the billions of miles of DOLLAR CLINIC Specializing in STOMACH AND INTESTINS All Treatments One Dollar 424 S.
