TODAY AND TOMORROW FRANK PARKER STOCKBRIDGE MIGRATION There is a "back-to-the land" movement actively in progress in the East. Within the past three months sixteen farms within five miles of my own have been sold to people who have been working in the factories in the industrial cities of Massachusetts. I talked with one of these newcomers the other day. "I'm an electrician," he said. "When times are good I have a job in an electrical equipment factory. When times are bad I'm out of a job. We have been saving, my wife and I, to buy a house in town. Then we began to consider what good a town house would be to us if I didn't have a job. On the farm we can at least feed ourselves and our three children, and we're near enough to town so that when things pick up I can go back to my job and come home every night. I'm not a farmer, but my wife is country bred and I'm not afraid of work." We are going to hear more of this sort of thing. In the old days the "landless man" was regarded as a social outcast. The only really independent man today is the one who can get his own living, in a pinch, from his own land. HOUSES I saw the beginning of a revolution the other day in Wilmington, Delaware. It is a house, a small, one-family house, the frame of which is made of pressed steel shapes. Two young men put the frame of the house together with bolts in a couple of days' time. It was as easy as a boy playing with one of the First to Fly to Copenhagen from Llancaster Otto Hillig, 54, wealthy photographer of Liberty, N.Y., Hoiris, the young pilot, finally got to Denmark after waking up in Spain, France, Switzerland and Germany. Their gas gave them to alight in Bremen before finishing their trip. Affairs of Week at Nation's Capital (Correspondence to The Gazette) Washington., D.C.-The weeks that have elapsed since President Hoover made his notable suggestion for a debt moratorium to the European governments have served only to strengthen his position. When a week later he backed it up by a suggestion to the Federal Farm Board that it withhold its surplus of wheat until the domestic price had gained a satisfactory level, he only added to his prestige. In both moves he has done what the country has been demanding of him; HOUSES I saw the beginning of a revolution the other day in Wilmington, Delaware. It is a house, a small, one-family house, the frame of which is made of pressed steel shapes. Two young men put the frame of the house together with bolts in a couple of days' time. It was as easy as a boy playing with one of the popular structural toys. These amateur builders are using only materials which call for no skilled labor in completing their house. Factory-made roofing, sliding, insulating material, wall-board and flooring will give them, they say a more substantial house than most, and at much lower cost than a house built in the usual manner. I heard of other experiments in factory-built homes. Engineers, architects and manufacturers are about ready to offer better homes at less money. WORK The five-day week for factory workers is already established in many large industries and in some of the building trades. It will not be long before nobody works on Saturday. The eight-hour working day, for which the labor unions fought for so many years, seems about to be shortened. The Kellogg Company of Battle Creek is the first large concern to try the six-hour day. The factory runs twelve hours, in two shifts. There is no time out for meals. The company reports that even with an increase of one-eight in the basic wage rate the overhead and operating cost per unit of production is lower than under the eight-hour plan. Watch for the shortening of the working day by other industries. SHOES Shoes are cheaper than ever before, and the tendency is still downward. At the same time, a fashionable Fifth Avenue custom shoemaker has recently raised his minimum price for a pair of ladies' shoes from $75 to $100 a pair! The latest thing to make shoes cheaper is the glued-on sole. A new adhesive, developed in the DuPoint labo-upper without the use of tacks, pegs or shoe factories, fastens the sole to the upper without thou se of tacks, pegs or stitches. It is said to be waterproof, flexible and permanent. There will always be a few people who will pay fancy prices for handmade goods, but the big money is made by those who find a better way to make things cheaper. FISH Fish ought to be the cheapest of all foods, instead of being one of the most outcast. The only really independent man today is the one who can get his own living, in a pinch, from his own land. Washington., D. C.—The weeks that have elapsed since President Hoover made his notable suggestion for a debt moratorium to the European governments have served only to strengthen his position. When a week later he backed it up by a suggestion to the Federal Farm Board that it withhold its surplus of wheat until the domestic price had gained a satisfactory level, he only added to his prestige. In both moves he has done what the country has been demanding of him; assume active leadership. Mr. Hoover has been accused of lacking force, but many observers had to come to wonder whether his lifetime habit of proceeding as the head of a big business was not handicapping him as far as results were concerned. Acting as head of a concern staffed with politicians is far different from initiating the policies of a private business concern, and his attempt to adapt his old methods is said by many here to have been the cause for many of his decisions that have aroused criticism. Twice within a month he has broken through red tape, each time his action being met with such a storm of approval that it will undoubtedly hearten him to similar actions. As Will Rogers, one of the most astute of commentators on public officials, says, the coming campaign is almost certain to be a contest between Hoover and Curtis, on one side, and Gov. Roosevelt and some running mate on the other. The strong tide that is setting in in favor of Vice President Curtis' renomination threatens to overturn one political precedent—that no vice president ever succeeds himself. In the 150 years of this government there has always been a different vice president every four years and Curtis, if he is re-elected, will hold a unique honor. His choice is by no means sure, as political trades for votes for the head of the ticket at next summer's convention may return him to his Kansas prairies. John J. Raskob, the executive head of the Democratic Party who has just returned from a three months' trip to Europe, has nothing but praise for President Hoover's debt proposal, but declares it has nothing to do with the coming campaign, which will be fought on the old familiar lines of Prohibition and the tariff. What he does not say, however, is that the President has unquestionably won votes by his display of eminent statesmanship and his evident desire to give the country the leadership it had a right to expect from a man of his known ability. Foreign newspapers frankly explain that the debt proposal means less in actual financial relief than in its psychological aspects. The first announcement resulted in a healthier tone in all business lines, including the big ex- upper without the use of tacks, pegs or shoe factories, fastens the sole to the upper without these of tacks, pegs or stitches.

There will always be a few people who will pay fancy prices for handmade goods, but the big money is made by those who find a better way to make things cheaper. FISH Fish ought to be the cheapest of all foods, instead of being one of the most expensive, as it is in all large cities and in towns away from the commercial fisheries. It is one food crop which requires no planting or cultivation. The reason for the high cost is the perishable nature of fish and the expense of keeping it ice. Experiments with quick freezing of fish by carbon dioxide snow or "dry ice" indicate that the flavor can be preserved and deterioration prevented in a way which makes the cost of handling and shipping much lower than previously. Before long fresh fish of the most popular food varieties will be available everywhere at a cost to compete with meat. But no fish ever bought in a market tastes half so good as the ones you catch yourself! DEATH OF HENRY LUETJE Henry Luetje, a resident of Anaheim for about 21 years, died at the family home on Crescent avenue, near Buena Park, Sunday evening, and the funeral service was held at the Backs, Terry and Campbell chapel, Wednesday morning. The service was conducted by the Rev. H. G. Schmelzer, of Zion Luther church, of which Mr. Luetje was a member. Burial was in Fairhaven cemetery. Mr. Luetje was 69 years old and a native of Oldenberg, Germany. He came to the United States 51 years ago and to California in 1910 and engaged in ranching. He is survived by Mrs. Luetje and a son, Fred. It costs more to harvest 50 acres of wheat or oats with a combine than by the old methods; for 100 acres costs are about equal; for 150 to 200 acres the combine is considerably more economical. Foreign newspapers frankly explain that the debt proposal means less in actual financial relief than in its psychological aspects. The first announcement resulted in a healthier tone in all business lines, including the big exchanges where the greatest sensitivity is always shown to political moves. Stocks have kept climbing and both wholesale and retail business in this country and abroad, have shown marked improvement. Nobody expected an overnight return to the prosperity of 1928 so there is no feeling that the plan is merely a political gesture instead of a practical project for releasing the restrictions on capital, which all conceal is the real cause of the present hard times, along with drought and overproduction. The President's attitude towards helping out the South American republics in a financial way is another thing that is adding to his popularity. South America is a market that must always be fought for by this country, Europe being actually nearer to it in sailing time than New York, besides being closer in blood ties and culture. By initiating plans for financial help Mr. Hoover has made a strong bid for friendship that should result in substantial gains in trade, observers assert. The importance of such markets is best shown by the recent goodwill trip of the Prince of Wale to all the leading countries of South America. The need of something to offset the effects of his visit has been met by the President, it is considered here by government advisers. Sam McKelvle, who recently retired as a member of the Federal Farm Board, took occasion on presenting his formal resignation to the President, to outline the work the Board has accomplished in the past year. He points out that the Government has undertaken successfully to save the farmer from the immediate price debacle that has on the old familiar lines of Prohibition and the tariff. What he does not say, however, is that the President has unquestionably won votes by his display of eminent statesmanship and his evident desire to give the country the leadership it had a right to expect from a man of his known ability.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE County Civic League Formed at Santa Ana The Orange County Civic League is the name of an organization that is being formed with the purpose of looking after the interests of the public, especially in taxation and similar economic conditions. The president of the organization is J. A. Gardiner, Santa Ana attorney; George W. Moody, of Fullerton, is vice-president, and Wayne Goble is executive secretary, with headquarters in the Ramona building, at Fifth and Sycamore streets, Santa Ana. The three officers have for several years been active in affairs affecting taxpayers, and into the new league some of the membership will be enlisted from the Good Government and Economy leagues of Santa Ana and Fullerton, which were formerly active in civic affairs. It is the purpose of the Civic League to obtain and compile all possible information of interest to taxpayers regarding municipal school and county government and present it in frequent bulletins to members so they may keep informed regarding what is going on and to work for the elimination of tax extravagance and waste of public moneys. Water conservation, as the paramount issue before the people at this time, will receive a great deal of attention and the league, it is stated, will support the new plan for water conservation and flood control and seek to unite all interests to the solution of this major problem. Daily Agricultural Program by Radio Beginning each day at 12 p.m. and continuing 10 minutes, talks of interest to farmers, growers and producers will be given during the week beginning July 20, under the auspices of the Agricultural Extension Service, cooperating with Radio Station KFI, as follows: July 20—"Walnut Question Box."

ORDINANCE NO. 550 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM REGULATING THE SALE BY AUCTION OF GOODS, WARES OR MERCHANDISE WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS OF ANAHEIM. The City Council of the City of Anaheim do ordain as follows: SECTION 1: It shall be unlawful for any person, firm, corporation or association to sell, dispose of or offer for sale in the City of Anaheim, at public auction, or to cause or permit to be sold, disposed of or offered for sale in the City of Anaheim, California, at public auction, any platinum, gold, silver or plated ware, precious stones, semi-precious stones, watches or other jewelry, or furniture, rugs or other house furnishings, whether the same shall be their own property or whether they shall sell the same as agents or employees of others, except judicial sales or those made by executors or administrators of the estate of decodents; and excepting also sales made at public auction of the stock on hand of any person or persons or corporation that shall for the period of one year next preceding such sale have been continuously in business in the City of Anaheim, California, as a retail or wholesale merchant; provided that in the latter case, before such merchant may hold an auction he must obtain a permit therefor which shall be applied for and issued in the following manner. Sald merchant shall not less than fifteen (15), nor more than thirty (30) days previous to conducting such sale make a written application thereof under oath to the City Council specifying the name and address of the applicant, the location and purpose of the sale and its expected duration and itemizing in detail the quantity, quality, kind or grade of each item of goods, wares and other articles to be sold, the wholesale market value thereof and the at Newport Harbor Next Saturday night is going to be a joyful occasion at Newport Harbor, for the city will be affame with its "Tournament of Lights," a spectacular fete which is being sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce of that city. It is expected that an extra large number of spectators will witness this illuminated water parade, made up of many highly decorated floats, in which numerous cities and organizations will be represented. The colorful parade of floats and boats will begin at 8 p.m., which may be witnessed along the harbor front or from the Coast Highway and Corona del Mar on the hill overlooking the bay. Anaheim will be represented in the tournament by a float which the Chamber of Commerce is arranging. The float will be the enormous dragon, mounted on a barge, which the Union high school exhibited at the Valencia orange show in June. The dragon will be brilliantly illuminated and will be surrounded by boys arrayed as savages and armed with spears. Christian Science Lesson-Sermon Christ Jesus' words, "As the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself," constitute the Golden Text for the Lesson-Sermon on "Life." Sunday, in all branches of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. The Lesson-Sermon consists of citations from the Bible, with correlative passages from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy. Among the Scriptural selections are the following exhortations of the Master: "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." One of the Science and Health passages is as follows: "Be watchful, sober, and vigilant. The way is straight and narrow, which leads to the understanding that God is the only Life. It is a warfare with the flesh, in which we must conquer sin, sickness, and death, either here or hereafter—certainly before we can reach the goal of Spirit, or life in God."

If the victim understands the structure and operation of the bee's defense weapon, he can prevent much of the pain and swelling. J. L. Hambleton, in charge of the bee culture laboratory of the Department of Agriculture, in a report to the Beekeepers Department of the Farm Bureau and the Farm Advisor's office, says "When a bee prods its victim it tears itself from its sting, a sacrifice which costs the insect its life. But the sting left in the skin has just started on its way, for it and the poison sacks attached are equipped with muscles which tend to drive it deeper and deeper. "The sting is composed of two lancets, each provided with a series of sharp barbs pointing backward, similar to a harpoon. The reflex action of the muscles attached to the sting mechanism is such that first one lancet is driven into the flesh, where it anchors, then the other, and so on, each lancet going a little deeper and becoming more firmly lodged. During this time the muscles are also squeezing the poison sacks in such a manner that poison is constantly being pumped into the wound. "Most persons make the mistake of trying to pull out the sting. When this is done the pressure of the fingers empies the poison sack into the flesh. The sting should be immediately scraped or scratched out, and since no time is to be lost looking for a knife or even in opening one, the fingernail is the best thing to use in the emergency," says Mr. Hambleton, who has frequently made the demonstration before interested visitors at the bee culture laboratory. With the brief explanation given by Mr. Hambleton, anyone may become a good demonstrator, but he should not expect the process to be entirely painless." at $160,000 was diswork in a will within city-two words.

More than 350,000 children this state receive milk at school. Yet this consumption but a fraction of the total. Annual sales of California dairy products exceed 150 million dollars! This great industry uses Bank of America's service on continuous, statewide scale. No less than 12,000 milk producers, as well as some 300 manufacturers and distributors of dairy products, are positors in this Bank. Commercial funds and workers' savings—deposited in many Bank of America branches—are transformed into sound commercial credit that assists dairymen and all branches of the industry. Among other services, the Bank collects payment for domestic and export shipments of butter, cheese and condensed and powdered milk—and transfers funds to or from any market in the world. Bank of America's co-operation with such basic industries assures protective, statewide distribution of the bank's resources. Does not this policy appeal to you?
