The proposed treaty with Mexico which would guarantee to that country 1,500,000 acre feet of Colorado river water annually, to be delivered free from American-built Boulder dam and American-built canals, has met with unanimous opposition from the California legislature. An appropriation of $50,000 has been made by the state to fight ratification of the treaty in Washington. That alone is quite a little incentive for somebody to promote such a treaty but, if you want to know what is really back of the deal see if you can find out who the Americans are that own some 300,000 acres of land below the border that is traversed by the American-built canal that dips down into Mexico and then back to Imperial Valley. The chances are the Mexicans never thought of such a treaty until somebody over here framed the deal. Still water runs deep, and so does politics. How women ever lost their hold on politics, after many centuries of domineering that field, I am not student enough to say, but, the fact remains that as the last century closed they were making a determined fight for a comeback. Through some quirk of false pride and chivalry on the part of the men the women had become disfranchised and under the guise of being "protected" they had lost about everything except their social standing and their natural ability to have babies. Even as late as the heydey of Richard (Himself) Carl, and George M. Cohan, it was their custom to denounce "this thing called woman suffrage" when they made their curtain talks between the acts. Since that time the "comeback" women have made in the fields of politics and business has been rapid. Their re-entry into these fields has not necessarily raised the standards of either, as the claim was, because history records that while women may be more cunning and crafty than men, they are at the same time equally as cruel and crooked when dealing with an adversary, or when pursuing power or money. In an article entitled "Do Women Belong In Politics," in the current issue of "She" Magazine, Elsa Maxwell last man is dead. We know how to make robot planes but our idea is that they are unfair and that sending them against the civilian population is too inhuman an act for us to indulge in. We are also supposed to have the most powerful and deadly poison gas explosives in the world, but we won't use that either unless the Germans force us to by using their's first. The population of the entire world could be destroyed with the materials now possessed by the warring nations. Maybe that would be the best thing to do and let the tadpoles start a new race that might develop into civilized people. On two or three occasions I have tried, through this column, to get any kind of an expression from the women as to their opinion of their sister, Eleanor Roosevelt, wife of the President. So far I have failed to get a rise from any woman, pro or con, regarding the most talked about woman in the world. Since Orange county women apparently have no opinions about Mrs. Roosevelt, here is what Alma Chestnut Moore, a prominent writer, has to say about her: "Now nearly sixty, the indomitable Mrs. Roosevelt is fit as a fiddle and bursting with good works in a world that sadly needs mothering. If she could, she would fold miserable humanity against her heart, comfort it, feed it and tuck it in gently, while conjuring vast schemes to solve its problems." Does that give you sisters any ideas? Northern people who have been moving the negroes out of the south with offers of social equality and all equal rights have started something that both political parties can't even finish. You had better not talk social equality with the negro race unless you mean it, and to mean it you have to advocate that your own sons and daughters intermarry into the negro race. There is no other basis on which social equality can be predicated, and they are going to demand that. I don't know whether it was OPA's original idea or whether the clothing manufacturers lobbied the deal through, but the ruling against two-pant suits for men is one of the most wasteful rulings to come out of the war. It is almost as bad as pouring American Legion Post walled at the Monday evening meeting along with the elected officers of the year. "Pete" Wisser is the new mander; E. C. Westenkuehler vice commander; Henry Dr. second vice commander; J. Heffron, adjutant and finance ficer; Dr. Paul S. Arnold, lain; Ralph Cox, sergeant arms; and Henry W. Baxter, ior past commander. The installation ceremony conducted by the 40 and 88 of Orange county with members from Santa Ana, Newport bor and Garden Grove coming to the team. Interesting reports were filed by the different chairmen, covering the past year's activities and projects undertaken, with the results in an instance most gratifying. Harry Easton Is Honored Tuesday Eve By Associates A group of fifty close ciates honored Harry Easton, of the best known figures in North Orange county citrus industry, last Tuesday evening at dinner at the Elks club. The ner for Mr. Easton commemorated his retirement as manager of Placentia Orange County change, being active man since 1936 and whose resignation became effective on July 1. He has been in the citrus dustry for the past 36 years, owing to Placentia in 1916 as man of the Placentia Mu packing house, later becoming manager of that plant. He plans to devote his time his own citrus groves. Toastmaster for this occasion was Jack Prizer of Fullerton, a delegation from the Californi Fruit Growers Exchange in Angeles, headed by Paul A. strong, its president, were in attendance. Eight Co. Towns In Airline Feeder Pick-up Plans LOS ANGELES, July 19.—Consideration of local airline feeder pick-up service covering southern California and 43 coastal California cities and towns A 20-year-old Santa Ana girl was doing right well out of the war, until the FBI stopped her. She was getting a government allowance from a soldier husband and one from a sailor husband and had two babies, but says she was never married to anybody. At least she was doing her part to help re-populate the world. Germany now claims to have 10,000 super-robot planes concentrated for launching against New York City. The planes will carry 10-ton bombs, traveling at 750 miles an hour at an altitude of 65,000 feet. The bombs are said to contain explosives 25 times more powerful than those now being used against London and will destroy all life and buildings within a radius of three miles of where they explode, the Germans claim. If Germany has such a contraption it can be taken for granted they will use it. They will also use the worst poison gas they have been able to concoct before the day of final surrender. Their treachery is only surpassed by that of the Japs, the difference being that the Germans will quit when they get too hard pressed, while the Japs will fight until the own sons and daughters intermarry into the negro race. There is no other basis on which social equality can be predicated, and they are going to demand that. I don't know whether it was OPA's original idea or whether the clothing manufacturers lobbed the deal through, but the ruling against two-pant suits for men is one of the most wasteful rulings to come out of the war. It is almost as bad as pouring gasoline back into the ground to keep people from using it. It could be that the clothing makers decided against the two-pant suit idea because they can make more money selling coats with a single pair of trousers. Every man knows that one coat will outlast two pairs of pants, so when only one pair goes with a suit he soon accumulates a lot of odd coats that eventually go to the rag man with half their wear still unused. So another war ruling, supposedly to save material, defeats its own purpose. And, in the face of this ruling against the men, manufacturers of women's clothing make and sell an outfit consisting of a coat, skirt and a pair of trousers, which to all intents and purposes amounts to the same thing as a man's suit with two pairs of pants. I don't see how such smart people can be so dumb. In the southeast gulf coast country of Texas we used to take carloads of quinine and calomel to combat malaria which at that time we thought was caused by stagnant swamp water and the limpid climate. In the meantime it has been discovered that malaria is caused by only one thing, the bite of a certain type of mosquito, a small variety which pesters the least but is the only one of the dozens of varieties that is actually pestiferous. It is only the fern of the species that attacks humans and its bite is only dangerous when it has previously been upon a human infected with malaria. The mosquito is merely carrier of the malaria germ unless it contacts an infected man it is no more dangerous than other types of mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are found in every country and in every climate. The "galnipper" variety that can through your leather shoes, fleish equally as well in the American Circle as they do in the tropics. Southern California has fewer mosquitoes and fewer of malaria-carrying variety than most places on the North American continent.

Silzle Speaks At Rotary Club Meeting Monday Highlight of the Monday noon meeting of the Rotary club held at the Elks club dining room was a program by one of its own members, Earl Silzle, president of the E. A. Silzle corporation, which operates a citrus by-product plant here and at Winterhaven, Florida. Dividing his time between the two plants, Mr. Silzle is now in Anaheim for the fruit season. He spoke on the citrus by-product industry and showed colored slides of scenes in the Florida citrus country. H. T. Walsworth was program chairman for the day and the meeting was presided over by President George Hedstrom. Ross Lee Laird, secretary of the chamber of commerce, was introduced as an honorary member of the club. Dan Kersten, housing committee chairman of the "Teen Age" Canteen, which opened here last week, explained the project and asked for the co-operation of the Rotary club in making the affair a success. The Canteen already has an enrollment of over 200 boys and girls, he said. County Air and Naval Bases Regarded Permanent Fixtures In Coast Defenses Apparently Orange county has been selected by the War Department as one of the strong west coast defense areas, judging by the nature of permanent bases located here for the air and naval services. Santa Ana Army Air Base, located between Santa Ana and the coastline, is one of the nation's principal air training stations and is generally referred to as one of the army's permanent plants. Among the older stations of its kind, some construction work is still being done there, apparently of a permanent nature. In the Anaheim Landing-Seal Beach area the Navy is now building a huge harbor and supply depot installation which, according to official announcements, is to be a permanent set-up. Cost of the project as presently outlined, will be in the neighborhood of $25,000,000, and the land included in the project practically adjoins the huge naval air station at Los Alamitos. Construction of the harbor and supply depot is going ahead at full speed and the base will be ready for use when the center of war activity moves to the west coast for the final finishing off of the Japs. Jetties are being constructed, highways and railroads are being moved and lowlands in the area are being filled with the dredging from the channels that will accommodate the fleets of supply vessels that will load munitions and supplies at this point. Farther inland, at El Toro, the big Marine air base, already the porportions of a good sized city, is undergoing an $18,500,000 enlargement in permanent buildings and runways. This also is on the largest and most important air installations in the naEl Toro is not a training站 but is manned by experienced Marine airmen, some of veterans from the various force fighting fronts. Included in the coast defenses units in this county is the Na lighter-than-air station south Tustin which is the base for blimp patrol, and which is parentally constructed along manent lines. Another indication that this will be permanent defense base is the allocation an additional $820,000 enhancement fund announced a few ago by Cong. John Phillips. Improvements to be instituted with this new fund include commodities for heavy aircraft in addition to the lighter-than-air ships now stationed there. Runways 1,000 feet wide and 8 feet long, and taxiing and parade areas will be built to accommodate the largest air ships. Strips will be constructed to commodate flying cargo ships on a wheel load of 42,000 pounds. According to officers of various armed forces Orlando county has proved to be a desirable location for the type of erational bases installed here it is a favorite spot with the enlisted men of the services. With such permanent installations Orlando county will have a large reside personnel of civilian and enlisted service men and their families after the war has ended.

California and Iowa, the report states, lead the nation in cash farm income, alternating from first to second rank from year to year by a narrow margin. During 1942 Iowa led with a total of $1,625,394,000, but California ranked first by a wide margin among the states in cash income from crops, with 13 per cent of the national total in 1943 compared to approximately 11 per cent in 1942. California's cash income from crops last year was $1,044,820,000, an increase of 37 per cent over the preceding year. From livestock and livestock products the total income for the year $458,- PERMITS ISSUED TO TWO CITIZENS Earl Vipond was issued a building permit by Building Inspector Nyboe last Tuesday for the alteration of a garage at 604 South Palm street.

The spokesman stated that the proceeds will go to a Yuma Army charity. The Yuma fighters are reputed best in the entire area of the Western Flying Training Command, and the locally-based fighters who have been training extensively at SAAAB are said to be showing some hot form.

Recovering from the two-day shut-down of many of the retail outlets over the Fourth of July wholesale storage stocks moved out during the past week with the larger sizes in most demand and some improvement noted in the smaller sizes. The smaller sizes, 344's and smaller, are not moving as fast as 252's and larger, according to the outlets. Apparently the Florida crop is about exhausted as the number of cars rolling to the market centers has dropped to less than 200 weekly, causing a greater demand for California valencias with ceiling prices still prevailing on all larger sizes. Continued hot weather in the east and middle west is a big factor in keeping the demand for California oranges and lemons ahead of the available cars for shipping. The crop is being moved as fast as cars are available and present indications are that the season will end with storage stocks at a low ebb. On the whole the citrus industry is in a favorable position as labor for the harvest appears to be adequate. While cool weather slowed the ripening of the fruit in some localities, this condition has worked in favor of the growers and there appears to be no danger of losing any of the crop as so far the pickers have been able to keep up with the maturing the fruit. Orange county is enjoying one of its most successful seasons for the citrus industry and the prosperity created by the harvest is reflected in all lines of business.
