AN UNSELFISH QUEST One of the most unselfish and meritorious activities that is being carried on by many people of our generation is the drive to perpetuate the natural resources of our woods, waters and wild life. These natural legacies offer no commercial opportunity to the men and women fighting for conservation. The only end that can be gained is to insure for posterity our natural heritage of unspoiled woods, waters and wild life. Some eleven million sportsmen, belonging to thirty-six thousand local organizations, are the nucleous and the vanguard in this drive to conserve our natural resources. Their coordinated efforts through such organizations as the Izaak Walton League of America and the National Wild Life Federation are devoted solely to the conservation ideal. We would like to call the readers attention to an article by David Aylward of the General Wildlife Federation appearing in another column of this issue. TERMITES AT WORK One of the best and most inspiring talks on Americanism heard for a long time in Anaheim was given last Tuesday before the Kiwanis club by International President H. G. Hatfield. The forces working against democracy have, in the last three years, gotten three times the membership that service clubs have in the last thirty years. The communist National Youth organization has attained a membership of TERMITES AT WORK One of the best and most inspiring talks on Americanism heard for a long time in Anaheim was given last Tuesday before the Kiwanis club by International President H. G. Hatfield. The forces working against democracy have, in the last three years, gotten three times the membership that service clubs have in the last thirty years. The communist National Youth organization has attained a membership of over three million in the last three years where the Boy Scout movement in twenty-eight years have only gotten a membership of around a million. This is truly a most amazing picture and one, to a person living in a small community, that is hard to comprehend or believe. The class of people that subscribe to foreign 'isms' vote nearly 100% yet the type personified by the service club and boy scout movement vote only about 30% of their strength. And right there is the weakness of our democracy. REORGANIZATION— WASHINGTON—As empowered last month by act of congress, President Roosevelt last week started in a small way to reorganize the U. S. government. Without calling for any new departments, he proposed bringing together 21 various government units devoted mainly to security, lending and works, and grouping them into three agencies with a $12,000 administrator at the head of each. A security agency would take in the now independent social security board, national youth administration (now part of WPA), civilian conservation corps (independent), also the old U. S. employment service and office of education (now in the departments of labor and interior, respectively) and the public health service (from the treasury). A lending agency would consolidate ten independents: RFC, Disaster Loan Corp., RFC Mortgage Co., Federal-National Mortgage association, electric home and farm authority, Federal Home Loan Bank board, Home Owners' Loan Corp., Federal Savings & Loan Insurance Corp., federal housing administration, and Export-Import Bank of Washington. A works agency would merge works progress administration and public works administration (both independent), the agriculture department's bureau of public roads, the public buildings branches of the treasury's procurement division and of the national park service (now interior); also the U. S. housing authority (interior). The president also proposed merging eight other units under two old executive headings. To the department of agriculture would go the farm credit administration, Federal Farm Mortgage Corp., and Commodity Credit Corp. (all now independent). To the chief executive, as parts of the president's immediate executive setup, would go the budget bureau (now in the treasury department), the central statistical committee and board (independent), national resources committee (independent) and federal employment stabilization office (since 1935, a name only in commerce). A lending agency would consolidate ten independents: RFC, Disaster Loan Corp., RFC Mortgage Co., Federal-National Mortgage association, electric home and farm authority, Federal Home Loan Bank board, Home Owners. 10 Mother's Day She wants to hear your voice SUNDAY, May 14—Mother's Day!

House and senate voted $110,000, -000 for army tanks, artillery, rifles, and other "critical" requirements;; and $43,000,000 for naval vessels and seacoast defenses. For the navy, the president last week signed a bill authorizing $66,800,000 for 15 new and improved bases. He asked congress to vote $31,600,000 of the authorized sum forthwith, so the navy could go ahead with bases in the U. S., Puerto Rico, Alaska and the Pacific—but not at Guam. Recollections of The Historian In 1886 when the land boom started in southern California the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific railways started a cutrate war between Los Angeles and Chicago. One day the Southern Pacific carried passengers to Chicago for one dollar. The next day the Santa Fe carried passengers there free of charge. But each event lasted only one day. The opening of the new union depot in Los Angeles the past week brought to light many incidents of happy memory. The old Pico House was the headquarters of all the notables of the early days. Perry Bros. Club theater, a block west on Main street, was the main amusement place of the city. The Los Angeles theater on the corner of Main and First streets woman in three found, in his or her first job, the kind of work he or she wanted; but nearly a third of the men and a fifth of the women took unsatisfactory jobs because no others were available. Biggest single group (one-third) got their first jobs by going out and hunting them. One-fourth got jobs through experience gained in self-support during college, about one-fifth through college placement bureaus, one-tenth through family influence, two percent through fraternity contacts. One-tenth of the men started their own business or professional office the first year out; by the eighth year nearly a third were their own bosses. College men earned an average of $1,314 the first year, $2,383 after eight year. College women averaged $1,092 the first year, Military Money—WASHINGTON—Congress last week voted, and the war department immediately spent, $46,400; for new airplanes, engines and other gear. Evincing no qualms, Assistant Secretary of War Louisanson reported to President Josephoveelt on the biggest peace-keeping order for aircraft and pointed at that some of the 571 planes offered would do better than 400 p. h.; that all are the best to had. The orders to be placed within the year will raise the air corps up to 6,000 planes. The president last week asked Congress to vote $185,440,000 in cash, $70,497,500 in contract authorizations for the air corps, which otherwise must wait until July 1 for this quarter-billion. And $8,200,000 more air corps money in the regular war department appropriation bill ($508,789,824) which congress passed and the House and senate voted $110,000,-000 for army tanks, artillery, rifles, and other "critical" requirements; and $43,000,000 for naval vessels and seacoast defenses. For the navy, the president last week signed a bill authorizing $66,800,000 for 15 new and improved bases. He asked congress to vote $31,600,000 of the authorized sum forthwith, so the navy could go ahead with bases in the U.S., Puerto Rico, Alaska and the Pacific—but not at Guam. AFTER COLLEGE—WASHINGTON—As many a college senior thought of graduating next month, the U.S. office of education in Washington last week held up a glass through which he might look at his future. It had made—with WPA's help—the first national study of how college men and women fare after graduation. It got its answers from some 46,000 alumni, vintages 1928 to 1935 of 31 representative institutions (excluding such colleges as Yale Harvard, Princeton, Smith, and Wellesley). The report confounded defeatists who moan that U.S. collegians can expect nothing but frustration. If the typical college graduate is unlikely to become rich, he is nevertheless still better able to get a job, earn a living and stay married than are his non-college contemporaries. Highlights of the report: Of the men and women graduates who wanted jobs, some 95% were temporarily or permanently employed. Some three-fifths had never been idle. Only two per cent of the men and one per cent of the women had ever been on relief. About one man in four and one about one-fifth through college placement bureaus, one-tenth through family influence, two percent through fraternity contacts. One-tenth of the men started their own business or professional office the first year out; by the eighth year nearly a third were their own bosses. College men earned an average of $1,314 the first year, $2,383 after eight year. College women averaged $1,092 the first year, $1,606 the eighth. Best-paid careers for men ($2,500 or more after eight years) were dentistry, medicine, law, public office, architecture, insurance, research, forestry, business, and telephone work. Poorest paid (averaging under $2,000): journalism, the ministry, clerical work. Biggest single group (17%) went into teaching and averaged about $2,000 after eight years. Best-paid occupations for women were nursing and teaching. Big-college graduates were better paid than alumni of small colleges. Of the whole group (out of college one to eight years), less than half the men and about a third of the women were married. After eight years out, a quarter of the men were still bachelors, half the women still spinsters. Divorces were fewer among these college graduates than in the population at large. Divorces rate: 19 out of 1,000 marriages. More alumnae than alumni were divorsed. Nearly three-fifths of the married college men and even more of the married college women had no children. However, most of these alumni have not been married long, still have plenty of time for children and divorce. ALL Of These Features 1. EXCLUSIVE VACUUM GEARSHIFT. 2.

Madame Modjecka, after gaining prominence as an actress, appeared there in the play called "Magda." Later, Modjecka came to Anaheim and established a mountain home in the upper Santiago canyon. The history of early Los Angeles would be incomplete without reference to Ayers & Lyach, editors of the Herald. Their editions were of the best. Stephen M. White and Earl Rogers as attorneys were in a class by themselves. Los Angeles, in those early days, was a small pueblo, the city extending to First street. Fifth and Main was away out of town, a livery stable and horse corral occupied the corner where the Pacific Electric building now stands. The U. S. hotel, owned by Louis Mesmer, was a popular place. In 1880 the Los Angeles Times was started by the late Colonel Otis. In 1882 the printers went on strike. Col. Otis was an indefatigable worker and would not leave the office until 2 a.m., when he wanted the forms ready and the press running. The make-up man was invariably late in making-up the forms and the colonel would become vexed and angry. He implored the union to take off the make-up man and put another man in his place so the presses would be running at 2 o'clock. Instead, the printers were ordered out; many did not want to strike. Later the colonel went to Kansas City and returned with two type-setting machines, doing away with hand composition. The planet Neptune was discovered with only pencils, paper and logarithm tables as instruments. I'M NEW CREAMIER CRISCO!
