Natural Bridge Is Drawing Tourists Newest Wonder of Death Valley Made Accessible by Road Completed Recently. Death Valley's newly-discovered wonder, the imposing natural bridge just below Dante's View, is already accessible to motorists and being visited by all who go that way and have the time. It is located in an unnamed canyon only 1.7 miles from the east side valley highway at a point 2.5 miles north of Bad Water and a force of 50 CCC workers under direction of the National Park Service completed a road to the scene recently and it was opened to the public on Christmas. A way had to be cleared through a boulder strewn wash. The beautiful rock bridge is within the Death Valley National Monument and was first seen by human eyes, so far as known, December 9, when Harry Gower of Death Valley Junction came upon the marvel. Automobile Club of Southern California representatives were on the ground within forty-eight hours and photographed the arch, which is about 60 feet wide and 55 high, inside measurement. The National Park authorities got into action immediately and the new road is the result. Ranger Thomas J. Williams has been acting custodian of the monument in the absence of Col. John R. White, who is in Washington. All the roads in the valley are now in good or fair condition with the exception of the one leading to Death Valley Scotty's castle, which is impassable. A flood that assumed something like cloudburst proportions torched down through Grapevine Canyon December 12 and ripped out eight miles of the road from the point southward. Cautious Look Is Justified, Claims Animal Chieftain California cattlemen and livestock producers may well look with caution on drug preparations sold or offered for sale calculated to cure or prevent infectious abortion of cattle (Bang's disease), according to Dr. C. U. Duckworth, chief of the division of animal industry, state department of agriculture. Although a vigorous campaign by federal officials has practically driven all such forced manufacturers to relabel their preparations so as to eliminate claims relating to the animal disease, Dr. Duckworth said that occasionally reports are received of cases where stockmen have been victimized by the salesmen of such nostrums. "Sometimes the use of these preparations appears to have a beneficial effect," Dr. Duckworth said, "but their apparent success is due to the fact that Bang's disease tends to die out when nonsusceptible animals are added, or else the herds acquire an immunity or an apparent tolerance to it. This explanation is the one offered by the veterinarian of the food and drug administration, U. S. department of agriculture, and is generally accepted."

Ponderosa Way is a Good Firebreak The Ponderosa Way, an 800-mile firebreak 200 feet wide, separating the timber from the brush country on the San Joaquin and Sacramento valley boundaries of the central and northern national forests of California proved its value during the fire season of 1934. According to the San Francisco headquarters of the forest service this firebreak stopped nine out of eleven large fires from spreading into the timbered regions above the Ponderosa Way. Forest officers consider this a good record in view of the unfinished condition of parts of this, the world's longest firebreak. Two of the eleven fires which swept up to the Ponderosa Way carried over it by exceptionally high winds which would have rendered any firebreak useless. The Ponderosa Way stopped a total of 15 miles of going fires with a large saving of valuable timber and watershed cover. Chiropractic Treatments Gentle and Effective One Dollar Each Control Given Free by Advisor Wahlberg "Insects and Other Pests Attacking Agricultural Crops," a new circular of 150 pages, is off the press and may be obtained free from the farm advisor's office, Santa Ana. The bulletin was prepared by entomologists to meet California conditions. This circular, it is explained, replaces those portions of a former publication, "Plant Disease and Pest Control," which deal particularly with insects, mites, and related animals attacking agricultural crops in the state. The new publication deals with insect pests by crops, from alfalfa to wheat, including citrus, walnuts, truck crops, bush fruits and other crops. General subjects are discussed at some length, and there is a chapter on pests and diseases of importance in the apilary. Forty pages are devoted to the chemical control of insects, giving formulas for spraying or other treatment, and directions for applying the materials. A limited supply of the bulletins has been secured by the farm advisor's office at Santa Ana and requests for same will be granted as long as the supply lasts, says Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg.

They left here Saturday. "Phoenix was the coldest place I ever saw," Mr. Houser reported. "Cold winds swept the town, ice was everywhere. We went to a New Year's eve show and got out of the theater at 4 a.m., picking our way home through the most dense fog one can imagine. I was standing in front of a large store Monday morning when I saw the glass suddenly swing and things tumble out of the window. I got sick at my stomach and turned around in time to see everybody rushing out of the tall buildings. The earthquake apparently was much more severe there than here." Stechert's Flowers. Phone 3280.

Patents and Ideas You can't patent an idea. All that you can patent is the machine or device that makes the idea work. Ideas, once made public, are common property for whoever can make use of them. My friend, the late Glenn Curtiss, had an idea which would make it easier for an airplane to fly. He tried it, it worked, and he got a patent on the device. The Wrights sued him for infringement of their patent, though the airplane they had patented was quite a different application of an idea that was far older than either Wright or Curtiss. They thought they had patented the idea of flying. Inventors frequently claim that someone else has stolen their idea. What they mean is that some other man beat them to it making a machine that would work. And even then, the incident on celebrating in mob fashion."

FIRE LOSS VERY LOW Fire loss to Anaheim residents in 1934 was $800, or six and two-thirds cents per capita. Fire Chief R. Nyboe reports. Orange County's Per Capita Cost $17.32 (Continued from page 1)icularly in the smaller counties, are financed largely from state funds, each county getting a minimum state allocation of $20,000 per year. "Much has already been done toward greater efficiency and economy under existing laws and traditions, but bold action than this is needed." Mr. Gifford concluded. "The whole distribution of functions between state, counties, cities and districts will doubtless have to be readjusted before maximum economy and efficiency under modern conditions can be attained." Million and Half Paid Out In Week By Newest Industry California's newest large-scale industry, the SERA, disbursed checks amounting to $1,208,427.57 to 110,245 workers on employment relief projects during the fiscal week ending December 13, SERA Auditor W.

The Wrights sued him for infringement of their patent, though the airplane they had patented was quite a different application of an idea that was far older than either Wright or Curtiss. They thought they had patented the idea of flying. Inventors frequently claim that someone else has stolen their idea. What they mean is that some other man beat them to it making a machine that would work. And even then, the inventor has to give everybody the right to make his invention after 17 years. The word "patent" means to make public. Government protects him in the use of his device for 17 years in consideration of his making it public. Otherwise, he could keep it a secret forever. HM, M!

Declares Ship Mail Contracts Subsidies In a political Form "The term 'ocean mail contracts' is a misnomer; and these should be called ship subsidies, which they really are," declared President Roger D. Lapham of the American-Hawaiian Steamship company. Because of higher American wage scales, American ship building and operating costs are materially higher than foreign costs, said Lapham; and the payments provided by the shipping act of 1928 were actually intended to offset these higher costs. However, for political reasons, congress canouflaged them by calling them "mail pay." This has led to the misconceptions of the true purposes for which various steamship companies have been paid by the government, resulting in distorted and fantastic ideas about huge sums having been paid for the carriage of nominal amount of mail.
