Affairs of Week at Nation’s Capital (Correspondence to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—Bryan Untiedl walked right past the austere guardians of the White House when he went there to tell President Hoover, man to man, just what happened during the tragic Colorado blizzard. On the same day the full pomp and panoply of this government was staged for the benefit of the first autocratic King and Queen ever to cross the portals of the President’s official home. Objectors to the formality of the White House occupants, voiced against every man, from Washington to Hoover, will get little aid from young Bryan’s trip, but all they want from the visit of their Majesties of Slam. But it took the Colorado boy to call attention to the real human side of Hoover. Like all those who are continually besieged by guests, he had to set the length of Bryan’s visit—just for overnight. But he found so much enjoyment in the talk of the land that he asked him to stay over several days longer. Apparently, young Bryan is cast in the same mold as Lindbergh, just a simple, unaffected American youth. And Mr. Hoover found someone he could chum with without having to guard his speech. Bryan not only could talk interestingly but proved a musician on that favorite of all westerners, a mouth organ. His playing captivated the Hoover grandchildren. When she read of it in the papers, Representative Ruth Bryan Owen, daughter of the “Commoner,” sent the youngster a fine, gold-plated harmonica with her compliments. Bryan may be a total loss as a voter for eight more years, but he is worth a lot to the President by his implied judgment that the Chief is good company for a boy. No other city in the country has such a vast army of scandal-mongers as the nation’s capital. Innumerable writers have depicted various Presidents providing ground at night with no pipe of peace by presidents of the senior and junior classes; burying the hatchet; transferring the "mystery bug" from the senior to the junior coeds; presentation of the class gift to their Alma Mater; awarding of honors to girls in the graduating class; and planting the '31 class tree and ivy sprig on the Trojan campus. The annual Pansy Breakfast given by Delta Delta Delta sorority house is to be held on Friday morning, June 5 at 10 a.m. in the gardens of the Tri-Delt house; this is the occasion when betrothed senior coeds of U. S. C. announce their engagements by walking through a heart-shaped pansy-covered arch with their fellow classmates reviewing the procession. Christian Science Lesson-Sermon "Soul and Body" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon Sunday, in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, branches of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. The Golden Text, "If ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live," is from Paul’s Epistle to the Romans. One of the Scripture selections in the Lesson-Sermon presents Christ Jesus' words: "No man can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?" A correlative passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy, states, "If we follow the command of our Master, 'Take no thought for your life,' we shall never depend on bodily conditions, structure, or economy, but we shall be masters of the body, dictate its terms, and form and control it with Truth." World's Citrus "The world-wide increase," said the report says, "certain as to the disposal of orange surpluses. To countries have passed long endeavor to improve their grading of their exports obtain better prices. They have been put into effect Spain, Palestine, Argentina Italy." American oranges and be confronted with keen in foreign markets as a crease in volume and quality of foreign citrus United States formerly bulk of its orange export but the larger American few years have made it seek additional markets. Foreign producers are market outlets for their American industry with the problem of what steadily increasing production increased from an average boxes in the five-year period to around 38,480,000 box year period 1925-1929. Orange crop reached 45% the second largest grapefruit crop this year. His paying captivated the Hoover grandchildren. When she read of it in the papers, Representative Ruth Bryan Owen, daughter of the "Commoner," sent the youngster a fine, gold-plated harmonica with her compliments. Bryan may be a total loss as a voter for eight more years, but he is worth a lot to the President by his implied judgment that the Chief is good company for a boy. No other city in the country has such a vast army of scandal-mongers as the nation's capital. Innumerable writers have depicted various Presidents prowling around at night with no good intent, or else wearing a "stuffed shirt" and receiving guests in the most impressive manner. Neither picture is true. The head of the nation is just like any other business man who has to see an enormous number of people on many propositions. His visitors have to be carefully winnowed down to the smallest number so the President can give proper attention to each of them. As a commentary, returning travelers from Russia tell us they can't even approach Stalin, head of the Soviet Republics, without paying the way for three weeks. And he intended to be only just one Communist among millions. Cotton is the first of all products to drop in price when a depression starts, declares Carl Williams, member of the Federal Farm Board. It skidded down four months before the stock market reached its lowest point in 1929. Usually it recovers first, like in 1921 when it went up in price six months before the rest of the list. Since December there has been a slight improvement, but nothing sensational, like ten years ago. Consumption of cotton goes up and down with general industrial production in other lines, says Williams. Five things caused its fall this time; the drop in business activity; second, reduced earnings of labor in both city and country; third, smaller income from agriculture caused by the drought and low prices of all raw materials, especially rubber, coffee and ten; and fifth, the fall in the price of silver. The low price level for cotton has been passed and from now on a steady return to prosperity is indicated, asserts Williams. The real salvation of the cotton farmer this year, however, he asserts, depends more on the farmer's ability to raise his own food for his family and feed for his family and feed for his animals than on any high prices for cotton.

World's Citrus Output Grows By HAROLD E. WAHLBERG, The Foreign Agricultural Service of the United States Department of Agriculture, in a report to our department, finds that production of orange and grapefruit is increasing faster than world consumption in practically all countries that grow citrus fruits, and production will probably increase as non-bearing areas come into production the next few years. Foreign producers are market outlets for their American industry with the problem of steadily increasing production increased from an average box in the five-year period around 38,480,000 boxes year period 1925-1929. Orange crop reached 45 million grapefruit crop this year totaling over 15,000,000 boxes with an average crop of during 1922-1926.

The Patent Office has recently granted a patent on an invention designed to give a third dimension to moving pictures. It helps the illusion by making the figures on the screen appear to be rounded, as in actual life, the patentee asserts. Thomas Jefferson founded the first of the many special government libraries, in 1789, according to data recently unearthied in Washington. It is the library of the State Department. Among his first expenditures was a subscription to fifteen newspapers at an average cost of $4 a year. Until 1894 the Declaration of Independence was the library's most prized exhibit, until it was removed to prevent its deterioration. Lately it has been installed in a specially contrived glass enclosed box in the Library of Congress which permits it to be viewed without causing it to suffer from deterioration.

"The world-wide increase in production," the report says, "is causing concern as to the disposal of the increasing orange surpluses. To this end many countries have passed legislation in an endeavor to improve the packing and grading of their export fruit so as to obtain better prices. Such regulations have been put into effect recently by Spain, Palestine, Argentina, Brazil, and Italy." American oranges and grapefruit will be confronted with keener competition in foreign markets as a result of the increase in volume and improvement in quality of foreign citrus fruit. The United States formerly confined the bulk of its orange exports to Canada, but the larger American crops the last few years have made it necessary to seek additional markets. Foreign producers are also seeking market outlets for their citrus fruit, and the American industry is confronted with the problem of what to do with its steadily increasing production. Total United States production of oranges has increased from an average of 21,400,000 boxes in the five-year period 1915-1919 to around 38,480,000 boxes in the five-year period 1925-1929. This season the orange crop reached 49,191,000 boxes, the second largest on record. The grapefruit crop this year is a record.

He knows where Fire may strike You may never see him. But he's working now to protect your life and property—the Fire Prevention Engineer. Who can estimate the thousands of lives he and his co-workers have saved; the millions in property loss prevented? This new "science" of fire-prevention—first launched and continuously supported by insurance companies—is but 27 You may never see him. But he's working now to protect your life and property—the Fire Prevention Engineer. Who can estimate the thousands of lives he and his co-workers have saved; the millions in property loss prevented? This new "science" of fire-prevention—first launched and continuously supported by insurance companies—is but 27 years old. Yet average national fire insurance rates have been reduced by 30 per cent! Fire-fighters, too, have adopted scientific methods. Commissioners and fire-department chiefs now regard prevention as one of their first duties. They train their men to recognize and remove fire hazards; and, knowing that most disastrous fires are caused by carelessness, give freely of their time to educational work. In this community and throughout California, fire-prevention directly concerns every man, woman and child. And so Bank of America, in the interest of all Californians, lends its staunch and active support.
