"No Smoking” Signs Go Up In California’s National Forests; Camp Rules Are Listed All Parties Required to Carry Shovel and Ax Suitable to Fight Fires; Fire Permits Must Be Secured; Forest Service Recommends Type of Camping Equipment The U.S. forest service announces that summer fire regulations made for the safety of visitors and the protection of the forest, watershed and recreational resources, went into effect in the four national forests of southern California on May 15, and in all national forests north of the Tehachapi on June 1. These federal regulations require that a camp fire permit be secured before building any fire, including fires in stoves burning wood, kerosene or gasoline, on national forest lands. Permits may be secured free of charge from any federal or state officer, automobile clubs, and local authorized agents, but must be obtained before the fire is lighted. In the Angeles, Cleveland and San Bernardino forests of southern California camp and picnic fires are permitted only at public camp grounds. All parties camping in the national forests are required to carry a shovel and ax suitable for fire fighting purposes. Shovels must be 36 inches overall in length with a blade at least 8 inches wide, and axes not less than 26 inches long with a head weighing two pounds or more. No smoking is permitted in the national forests, after the above mentioned dates, except in camps, at places of habitation and in special areas along roads and trails that have been fire-proofed and posted with “Smoke Here” signs. Public cooperation in the enforcement of these regulations is requested of all national forest visitors. They are designed to aid in the protection of Craig Candidate For Re-Election Seeks Nomination at August Primaries From 75th District Assemblyman Edward (Ted) Craig who has represented Orange county in the assembly of the state legislature for the past four years announced that he would be a candidate for the republican nomination for the assembly from the 75th district at the August primaries. This newly created district takes in the second and third supervisorial districts and comprises a new district in Orange county. This condition was created by the Craig re-apportionment bill giving to Orange county two assemblymen in place of the old setup of only one. The 74th district takes in the first, fourth and fifth supervisorial districts. Assemblyman Craig was highly honored by being given the chairmanship of the extremely important re-apportionment committee and did yoeman service to not only Orange county, but to Southern California as well. Included in the reapportionment of representatives, under the terms of the Craig bill, Orange county was placed in a new congressional district—the 19th, with San Bernardino and River-side counties — with whose problems No smoking is permitted in the national forests, after the above mentioned dates, except in camps, at places of habitation and in special areas along roads and trails that have been fire-proofed and posted with "Smoke Here" signs. Public cooperation in the enforcement of these regulations is requested of all national forest visitors. They are designed to aid in the protection of recreational, timber and watershed values of the state, and to reduce the drain on public funds for fire suppression. Last year nearly four million people visited the national forests of California for health, sport and enjoyment. Over 95 per cent of these vacationists were motorists. Realizing the fire danger that goes with this heavy influx of visitors and the necessity of taking every possible precaution to prevent fires from starting, the forest service recommends the following equipment for motorists and recreationists: A stove burning kerosene or gasoline is much safer and more convenient for cooking than an open camp fire. A mechanical pocket lighter is very useful to smokers and does away with the danger of starting a fire by carelessly discarding burning matches. Every motorist should have his automobile equipped, both front and back seat, with ash containers in which the smokers in the car can place their burning matches and cigarettes and not throw them out of the car while traveling. Automobiles sometimes catch on fire on heavy mountain grades, and gasoline camp, stoves sometimes explode. In such cases, an approved fire extinguisher effective on gasoline fires may save serious personal injury and loss, and prevent the fire from spreading to the forest. Anaheim Girl Loses Suit for Damages After deliberating five minutes, the juicy in Superior Judge H. G. Ames' court Monday evening refused to award a claim by Miss Freda Lumsdon of Anaheim against Ed. R. Roberts of Brea. The suit against Roberts resulted from an accident October 23 when, as escort for Miss Lumsdon, Roberts wrecked his car against a telephone pole. Miss Lumsdon was severely injured. WANT ADS RATE: Five cents, the line (count) Assemblyman Craig was highly honored by being given the chairmanship of the extremely important re-apportionment committee and did yoeman service to not only Orange county, but to Southern California as well. Included in the reapportionment of representatives, under the terms of the Craig bill, Orange county was placed in a new congressional district—the 19th, with San Bernardino and River-side counties — with whose problems Orange county was more closely tied in than with the old congressional set-up and also Orange county can count upon a more representative position — with more power than if it was in a congressional district with larger and more populous counties, where it might rather lose its identity. Besides being chairman of the important re-apportionment committee, Assemblyman Craig served on several other outstanding committees of importance, including the joint legislative water committee, which has been meeting for the past eight months in various parts of the state, considering matters of vital importance in connection with water problems, and developing a major project — the state-wide water plan. Mr. Craig states that he will run upon a platform of judicious economy—that will at all times foster legislation beneficial to Orange county and oppose any detrimental legislative efforts opposed to the county's best interest. Mr. Craig's announcement clears up much of the political fog, as State Senator Nels Edwards, will in all probability be a candidate to succeed himself. It had been generally understood that Mr. Craig would succeed Senator Edwards in the event that the senator ran for congress. For the past two years Ted Craig has been mayor of Brea, but this year because of increasing demands of his necessary activities he retired from the city council of Brea. Born in Los Angeles in 1866, Assemblyman Craig has been a resident of the Brea-Olinda district since 1900. He is married and has two sons, is a Mason, an Elk, a member of the American Legion, being a past commander of the Orange county Council, and is a member of the 40et 8: CARD FROM W. J.

W. J. CARMICHAEL, 115 Park View Road, Fullerton, California. "Soul and Body" is Lesson-Sermon Topic Paul's question, "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?" constitutes the Golden Text for the Lesson-Sermon on "Soul and Body" on Sunday in all branches of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. Among the Scriptural citations are the following verses from Matthew, "And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, malmed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them; insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the malmed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see; and they glorified the God of Israel." One of the correlative passages from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy, states, "Knowing that Soul and its attributes were forever manifested through man, the Master healed the sick, gave sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, feet to the lame, thus bringing to light the scientific action of the divine Mind on human minds and bodies and giving a better understanding of Soul and salvation." TODAY TOMORROW FRANK PARKER STOCKBRIDGE MARKHAM— I went to Carnegie Hall the other night to the celebration of the eightieth birthday of Edwin Markham, the poet. A spry little old man with white whiskers, he was as vivacious as a schoolboy, as he read some of his own verses from the platform. Markham's most famous poem is "The Man with the Hoe." I believe that poem has done more harm, in implanting a false social theory in the minds of impressionable youth, than anything that has been written in our time. For this poem is based upon the theory that the toiler in the fields is unintelligent because he has been forced by the more fortunate part of society to be a toiler. Everybody who works with his hands, according to the Markham theory, is a victim of capitalistic oppression, whereas the records of humanity from the beginning of time prove that intelligence has always lifted its possessor out of the ranks of toilers, as it lifted Lincoln. SHORTHAND— If I had a son with intelligence enough to take advantage of opportunities, I would see to it that he became an expert stenographer while still a boy, whatever else he might study. I was reminded of this field of opportunity the other day when I sat on a platform in New York, where "Al" Smith and Mayor "Jimmy" Walker will do the least harm politically than it is to find new sources of taxation to balance the budget. And the tax bill is presenting harder problems than the country has ever faced. The Senate Committee has done a great many things to the House bill, and by the time the tax bill finally passes the Senate it won't look very much like the one which was passed by the House. The result will be a long and perhaps stormy session of a conference committee, to whip the new tax legislation into shape that both Houses will stand for. It looks now as if there was little chance of the general manufacturer's sales becoming law, although a strong and vigorous new drive in favor of it is being felt on Capitol Hill. There are very serious doubts arising as to whether the excessively high taxes on large incomes and inheritances will yield anything like what they have been estimated to yield. The extent to which incomes of the supposedly very rich have been cut down in the past couple of years is just beginning to be realized, as the income tax returns for 1931 are being analyzed by the Treasury. Not only individual incomes but corporate incomes have fallen off so much that this situation is furnishing new ammunition for the advocates of the sales tax. One reason why a late summer session of Congress now seems probable is that our Government budget includes as expected income, payments on account of war debts due us from Europe, while the European budgets so far adopted do not make any provision for such payments. The moratorium on war debts expires July 1st. In July England should pay us about $55,000,000, and the same amount again in January, but the British Government has left this out of its estimates and Europe generally seems to be relying upon the Lausanne conference to be held in June, to cancel or modify these debt obligations. Talk of some means of currency inflation gets stronger. The feeling is growing here that some measure which SHORTHAND— If I had a son with intelligence enough to take advantage of opportunities, I would see to it that he became an expert stenographer while still a boy, whatever else he might study. I was reminded of this field of opportunity the other day when I sat on a platform in New York, where "Al Smith and Mayor "Jimmy" Walker were the principal speakers, and George B. Cortelyou was chairman of the local centennial celebration in Union Square. George Cortelyou started life as a stenographer. He was a young man of unusual intelligence. Mr. Cleveland wanted another stenographer at the White House and young Cortelyou was sent to him. He was promoted to executive clerk by Mr. Cleveland, then President McKinley made him first assistant secretary, and then secretary, and President Roosevelt continued him as his secretary. When the Department of Commerce and Labor was created, George Cortelyou was the first man to hold a cabinet position as its head. Then he was Postmaster-General, Secretary of the Treasury, and Chairman of the Republican National Committee. And for the last twenty-three years he has been President of the Consolidated Gas Companies of New York, and one of the city's most influential and respected citizens. And he is only one of many successful men I know who started life as stenographers. JOBS— The "War Against Depression" Campaign, backed by the American Legion, the Federation of Labor and the Association of National Advertisers, has got more than half way toward its goal. These energetic people started out in February to put a million men back at work. They have already found jobs for over half a million. Another thing that they've found, which a good many wise people expected they would find, is that there are about as many men out of work who don't want jobs as there are who really need them. We are learning for the first time the true extent of America's leisure class. SPEED— Thirty years ago, on June 15, 1902, I travelled from New York to Chicago on the first regular train that ever made that trip in twenty hours. The Pennsylvania and the New York Central started twenty-hour trains on the same day. I went on the first Pennsylvania train and came back on the New York Central's new speeder, as a newspaper reporter. Later, the running time between Washington, D.C.-Old-time observers of governmental activities say that they have never seen such an earnest and serious effort on the part of everybody concerned to do the right thing in this national crisis. Evidence of the strain under which Congress is working is found in the large amount of illness, prostration from over work and several deaths among the members of both Houses since this session began. The public does not realize the amount of work that is done by members of Congress, because most of the reports are only of the public sessions. A good deal of time and energy is spent on the floor of each House in making speeches which convince nobody, but which have as their ulterior motive possible use for political purposes. The real work of Congress is done in the committee rooms and in conferences with officials of the executive branch of the Government. And in these days the earnest thought and study that is being given to the problems of government by everybody. Republicans, Democrats and insurgents, is more intense than it has been at any time since the war. It is no unusual thing for a committee chairman to work all night, or for an entire committee to sit in earnest discussion until late hours in the morning. Both the House and Senate restaurants are serving more breakfasts than ever before. Speaker Garner is at his office every morning at seven o'clock, although the sessions of Congress do not begin until noon. He puts in five hours of hard work before ascending the rostrum, and is frequently at his office until late in the evening, after the session is over. It is beginning to be doubtful whether Congress can actually finish its work and adjourn for the year by the 10th of June. The major appropriations bills will have to be out of the way before June 30, as the Government's fiscal year ends on that date, and nobody would have authority to spend a cent after July 1st unless the appropriations bills were passed. Those are the measures which are giving more trouble than even the tax bill. There is no mistaking the sincere desire of everybody concerned with the operation of the government to cut down governmental costs. On many of the items where economics are proposed there is no serious difference of opinion. The differences occur where the amount that would be saved by a particular measure is a matter of opinion and not of demonstrable fact. It is easy enough to prove on paper what the effect would be of reducing government-adopted do not make any provision for such payments. The moratorium on war debts expires July 1st. In July England should pay us about $85,000,-000, and the same amount again in January, but the British Government has left this out of its estimates and Europe generally seems to be relying upon the Lausanne conference to be held in June, to cancel or modify these debt obligations. Talk of some means of currency inflation gets stronger. The feeling is growing here that some measure which will raise commodity prices is essential. It may be the remonetization of silver, which seems more likely than the issuing of a large volume of government notes unsupported by a metallic base. In one way or another it seems likely, however, that some means of relation will be found. The astonishing thing about most of the famous people is how they manage to get by. SPEED— Thirty years ago, on June 15, 1902, I travelled from New York to Chicago on the first regular train that ever made that trip in twenty hours. The Pennsylvania and the New York Central started twenty-hour trains on the same day. I went on the first Pennsylvania train and came back on the New York Central's new speeder, as a newspaper reporter. Later, the running time between these two cities was cut to eighteen hours, but the twenty-hour schedule was restored during the war. Now they have got it shortened again, and the other day I saw the start of the new eighteen-hour train out of the Pennsylvania Terminal in New York. I think, and I found some railroad officials who agreed with me, that one of the next big things after we get back to normal economic conditions will be such an improvement in road beds, rolling stock and motive power that a fifteen hour schedule between New York and Chicago will be possible. Many trains on short stretches of perfect track now go at ninety miles an hour. It is only a matter of money to maintain such a schedule for the 900 miles that separate Lake Michigan and the Atlantic. COWS— My country neighbors who sell milk are having the blues. They are only getting about three cents a quart now, which is less than it costs to produce the milk. The explanation is that dairying has been, in many regions, the most profitable farm operation for the past few years, so everybody is going into it and there are too many dairy cows. Farmers who depend on dairy products alone are finding themselves in the same position as those who depend on wheat, or cotton, or tobacco alone. The only farmers I know who are not in trouble are the ones who grow a little of this and a little of that, who keep a few cows, a few pigs, a small flock of hens, a small orchard and a small berry patch, and approach the agricultural problem from the point of view that the first thing they must get off the farm is their own living, and then if they can get any cash for their surplus they are that much ahead. There are exceptions, of course, but priation bills were passed. Those are the measures which are giving more trouble than even the tax bill. There is no mistaking the sincere desire of everybody concerned with the operation of the government to cut down governmental costs. On many of the items where economics are proposed there is no serious difference of opinion. The differences occur where the amount that would be saved by a particular measure is a matter of opinion and not of demonstrable fact. It is easy enough to prove on paper what the effect would be of reducing government salaries. It is not easy to prove what would be the effect of making a charge for government services which are now rendered free. It is only guess work as to how many people would continue to take advantage of those services if they had to pay for them. And opposing every specific economy is a strong lobby representing the particular group of employees, or bureau or department which would be affected if this, that or the other item were cut off. It means a good deal harder work to find ways of cutting expenses which they are mostly, so far as I know anything about them, farmers who haven't had to borrow money on their land or their livestock and so don't have any interest to pay. PROHIBITION— Ten years ago every woman in the country, practically, was enthusiastic about the new national prohibition law. The other day Mrs. Charles H. Sabin, wife of a New York banker, led a huge delegation of women to Washington to present a petition with hundreds of thousands of names on it for the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. These are mostly city women who have seen an enormous increase in drinking among young people. Young folks spending money that they did not earn always think it is smart to do things which are against the law. I think there is a great deal more than prohibition behind a lot of the behavior of the idle children of the foolish rich. Nevertheless, I think it would be a very good thing to take the prohibition out of politics by having a national referendum which will let each side know just exactly how strong sentiment for and against repeal really is. Increased BUYING POWER of the dollar justifies the return to normal spending Thoughtful people all over California are returning to normal buying habits—and they are getting some of the greatest values of their lives. Building materials, automobiles, clothing and high grade merchandise of every kind are being sold at temptingly low prices. Now is the time to take full advantage of the increased purchasing power of the dollar, stimulate every line of business, and return the unemployed to their jobs. Even reduced incomes are balanced by corresponding reductions in the prices of nearly all commodities. There is no excuse for not satisfying one’s normal needs. Prosperity depends largely upon both banked and expended money. Until idle money circulates freely, unemployment will continue to be with us. The return of good times is strictly up to each one of us. Think it over.
