Much Pioneering On Big Aqueduct (Continued from page 1) to use them. The RFC has appropriated the money as promised whenever it was needed, and the metropolitan water district directors can only wait and see if the verbal agreements will be fulfilled. In this connection, Director Humphrey declared the district had made a saving of almost 25 per cent on expenditures to date, as compared with its own engineers' estimates. This was accomplished in several ways. The engineers submitted a bid for the work on the basis of their estimate. If private companies were under this bid, the private concern was given the work, providing it could give satisfactory guarantee of fulfillment. Otherwise, the district did the work by force account. Because of the tremendous scope of the project, much of the construction is pioneering, especially in building booster pumps which will lift a billion gallons of water every 24 hours a height of several hundred feet. The pumps to be built are the largest ever planned. The district made an appropriation of $100,000 for experimental purposes to determine the most efficient type, because for every one per cent of efficiency gained, the district will save $300,000 in pumping costs every year. These experiments are being conducted at the California School of Technology at Pasadena, combining features of every major standard pump, together with the engineering knowledge of various pump companies. Leaving Friday evening from Fullerton, the newspapermen motored to Berdoo camp, north of Indio, for the first night. The next morning they enjoyed a tremendous breakfast prepared under the personal direction of a chef who had been instructed to prepare food for the event. Verbal Tennis of Mayor and Boysen Opens New Courts Referee Has To Declare Big Initial Match a Draw On Thanksgiving Anaheimers attending the opening last Thursday (Thanksgiving) of the two new tennis courts recently completed under SERA labor agreements, perked up in surprise when they witnessed two of their genial city officials, Mayor Charles H. Mann and Superintendent of Parks Rudolph Boysen tangle in a wild, slap-bang draw in initial matches on the new possessions. The referee had to step in and declare the match a draw, after verbal warfare threatened to overshadow actual tennis battle. Following this successful start, Hoots Chilson won first and George Hunter second in the first division of men's singles, while Dr. Tompkins walked away with first and O. Lampman second in the second division of the same class. In the girls' singles, Miss Roquet took first, Doris Sanford second and Helen Tobin third, while in the mixed doubles Wilson and Doris Sanford won first; and Lampman and Helen Tobin second. The boys' singles saw Larsen capturing first, Johnson second, and LeDue third. Prizes were awarded each of the groups by various local stores, among which were Yungbluth's, Marigold Cafe, Loretta Dress Shoppe, Fishers Dollar Store, S. Q. R., Jack Corn's Brownbilt Shoe Store, Anaheim Barber Shop, and Wisser's Sporting Goods.

Leaving Friday evening from Fullerton, the newspapermen motored to Berdoo camp, north of Indio, for the first night. The next morning they enjoyed a tremendous breakfast prepared under the personal direction of a chef who had charge of President Howard Taft's meals at the White House. The party than was taken for a three-mile jaunt into the Coachella tunnels, which total 33 miles in length. There the party witnessed miners drill with air guns, for shooting. After inspecting the hospital and viewing headquarters graphs showing progress made in every tunnel along the route, the party motored to division No. 3 for lunch and then to Parker dam, where members looked for the Arizona navy, which they learned had been anchored at the ferry several miles below. Arizona army had been recalled to Phoenix. Several newspapermen then stood on the California banks of the Colorado river and threw stones at Arizona bluffs. Returning to the Whipple Mountain tunnels, the party watched the mucker at the end of the shaft. Dinner was enjoyed at division No. 1 headquarters, and the group left for division No. 3, arriving at midnight. Breakfast found the men ready to explore the wonders of the aqueduct again, beginning with inspection of various cement plates laid to test various cures. At the Cottonwood tunnel the party found a partly finished tunnel, where the sides were as smooth as glass, and secured a mental picture of how a tremendous flow of a billion gallons of water a day will keep the tunnels scoured. At Pushawalla the group again saw the mucker at work, this time in a tunnel several miles deep. After lunch the newspapermen headed for home in earnest, with a stop scheduled at the San Jacinto tunnel shaft, which has been delayed because of a flow of 2,000 inches of water an hour at the 796-foot level. The shaft must sink 800 feet before beginning operations on the tunnel proper, which is 13 miles long and regarded as the most difficult of the entire project. Director Humphrey points out that the main acqueduct is 241 miles long, comprised of 29 tunnels totaling 91 miles, conduit of 56 miles, lined canal of 66 miles, and siphones of 28 miles. The intake at Parker is 155-miles below Boulder Dam. The boys' singles saw Larsen capturing first, Johnson second, and LeDue third.

Announce Subject for Lesson-Sermon "God the Only Cause and Creator" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon on Sunday in all Christian Science churches, branches of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. One of the Scriptural citations in the Lesson-Sermon presents Isaiah's words: "Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, faintth not, neither is weary? these is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall; but they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." A passage-from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy, states: "We say,'My hand hath done it.' What is this my but mortal mind, the cause of all materialistic action? . . . The divine Mind includes all action and volition, and man in Science is governed by this Mind." of a flow of 2,000 inches of water an hour at the 796-foot level.

The intake at Parker is 155 miles below Boulder Dam. Newspapermen agreed upon arrival at Fullerton Sunday evening that if every resident of the 13 member cities in the metropolitan water district could see what the tremendous project means to the development of Southern California and how it fulfills the vital need for water from the only available source, all objections would be swept away in a wave of enthusiasm for the greatest engineering project ever tried by man.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE Stork on Strike So Schools Urged To Cut Expenses Dr. Milbank Johnson Tells of Birth Rate in Relation to School Population "With the stork on strike, we cannot expect increases in school population," said Dr. Milbank Johnson, board chairman of California Taxpayers' association, in discussing the association's recently completed survey of elementary school population. In 132 of the state's elementary school districts, which include 73 per cent of all the elementary children in the state, the association found that there was a decrease of 0.7 per cent in the number of pupils enrolled during September of 1934 as compared with the same month of 1933. This means a decrease of about 5,600 elementary children in the state as a whole. The association points out that, although the child population is decreasing, the total population of California is increasing. "Evidence that migration into California continues is found in the fact that the elementary school enrollment has decreased only 0.7 per cent," Dr. Johnson stated. "Had we been forced to rely only on children previously enrolled plus entering first graders, the decline would have been 3.4 per cent. The number of births in California has been decreasing ever since 1924, with the result that accumulated child shortages must continue to be reflected in the schools until at least 1940. While the high schools continue to show small increases, the decreased numbers of children in the state will soon be felt there also, unless migration of school age into the state increases."

He was taken to the Anaheim Sanitarium, where doctors said it will Rumors of any friction among Governor Merriam's original supporters on the question of patronage are ridiculous and without the slightest foundation of fact." With this terse statement, Ingall Bull, Los Angeles chairman of the Southern Counties Republican center committee, and chairman of the Merrill campaign in 10 Southern counties struck back at reports of an impending patronage squabble. Bull arrived in Sacramento early this week to confer with state officials. "The Southern counties committed in absolute harmony with Governor Merriam on all such questions as this We have implicit faith and confidence in the governor, and we feel confident that there will be no such friction said Bull." Likewise there are no disputes between the north and south Reports have been erroneously claimed to the effect that the republican chairman in the Southern counties were planning a protest meeting and taking the governor to task. This is entirely untrue. The committee did meet in Los Angeles over the week-end but the question of patronage was never discussed. "The only questions discussed were matters relating to co-ordinating future activities of the republican party to the end that we could lend our most support to Governor Merriam." Decline would have been 3.4 per cent. The number of births in California has been decreasing ever since 1924, with the result that accumulated child shortages must continue to be reflected in the schools until at least 1940. While the high schools continue to show small increases, the decreased numbers of children in the state will soon be felt there also, unless migration of school age into the state increases. "Regardless of the influx of newcomers into the state, there is no reason for school costs to be inflated this year," Dr. Johnson declared. "School officials, on the whole, have done much to meet the depression. The load the taxpayer will have to bear for schools this year and the next few years should continue to decrease. With declining birth rates cutting deep into school enrollments, they will have a powerful ally in making necessary budget reductions. Even though the population of California is increasing, the increase is in large part made up of people above school age; for this reason the drain of the elementary schools on the public treasury should be smaller next year than this." Progress Reported On Reconditioning Of Homes In State Gratifying progress in making reconditioning and repair loans in California by the Homes Owners' Loan corporation, through its reconditioning division, is reported by W. O. Miles, state manager. Throughout the entire state, including the Los Angeles district, 17,189 reconditioning applications have been received; 526 building alterations completed.

Gordon Bailey, resident of South Los Angeles street, slipped while working at a local grocery store Monday, striking the lower part of his vertebrae on a box.
