HOBOS ARE GETTING YOUNGER EACH YEAR Hobos are getting younger. "Blanket stiffs" are in the minority. Automobiles are taking the place of boxcars. Hitting the dirt instead of hitting the ties. Ridiculous "awell limousine" beats a sheriffagin. Camping by a wooded stream beats the short burned grass, railroad right on way. Working stuff so bad, but it's hard to get used to. Such is the philosophy of the new and younger "shanks" mare tourist, and the information that comes from him. Anheim is interested in the hobo for the reason that he is as regular a winter visitor to the Southland as are those who can afford to drive their own cars across the continent and incidentally, perhaps, give the boa ride. The influx already is beginning, police here have heard. The sheriff at San Bernardino says 200 drifters are coming into that place every day. San Bernardino is a division point and the boxcar bums are dumped there. And if they are hiking across the dessert, they follow the railroad tracks by choice and for safety. San Bernardino is the Gateway of the East. "We can't keep count of them," said Sam Jermgan, Santa Ana police chief, "as we used to do. So many come by highway, probably riding in somebody's car. Naturally we do not molest them under such circumstances." "There is no doubt that this winter will see a greater influx of unemployed than at any other time in the county's history. Advertising the only 'white spot' in the county is bound to attract many who never were on the road before." "And the judge works with us all the way, which means that we are able to follow out a definite program as regards a serious problem." "Evidently there is a different class on the road today than there was several years ago. Hard times in the east, harder than we can imagine." TODAY'S RESULTS AMERICAN LEAGUE First game.

Allen California Biological Feature Service This morning as I went out on the pier to take my plankton collection, I noticed a sea lion about thirty yards from the pier just beyond the first line of breakers. As he seemed disposed to linger, and as the water was unusually clear, I stopped to watch him. He came to the surface and took a leisurely look all around the horizon. As I stood quite still he did not appear to notice us. Then he slowly sank below the surface as a swell came along, gave a powerful sweep of his flippers in direction with the swell and rode in till it broke, when he turned back from it by a combin... There is no doubt that this winter will see greater influx of unemployed than at any other time in the county's history. Advertising the only "white spot" in the county is bound to attract many who never were on the road before. And the judge works with us all the way, which means that we are able to follow out a definite program as regards a serious problem. Evidently there is a different class on the road today than there was several years ago. Hard times in the east, harder than we can imagine, have driven many toward the west. Following the line of least resistance, it is cheaper to live out here; they sleep out at night, and the chances of starving are slim. Sometimes ago the San Bernardino sheriff found a man and his wife and eighteen-months-old baby in a box-car. They had enough money to ride, but if they had ridden they would have been broke when they arrived here. Therefore they hit the road. Whether the man actually is looking for work is the most difficult question we have to decide in each case. Perhaps he is but coming along the regular routes he falls into a gang of old-timers, inveterate crooks, and that may be his finish. Eliminate the crooks, and the I. W. W. next in Imperial valley and the problem would be greatly simplified. Theo (Budge) Lacy, county jailer, makes a study of the vagrants that are given a period of rest in the ivy clad jail, with its surrounding sweep of lawn. He said: "The hard-boiled, old-time boy is fast disappearing. I can remember back in the dighties when my father was sheriff, that the vage then were really troublesome. They were older men than the present day trap—bitter old fellows, and inclined to be vicious, even if they had not the courage to be feroculous." Today I find that most of them are young fellows between 17 and 25 years old. Some are adventurous with plain wanderlust, and consequently are attracted to the west. "I can tell the good fellows from the bad by the way in which they answer the call for work. I send out a working gang every day of twelve men. The recent but unfortunate fellow immediately volunteers, while the bum feels sickness or has some other excuse." Which reminds me of the colored fellow, who hid under the covers every morning when the work gang was being chosen. He said he had hay fever and other troubles. I put him in the hole for a couple of days, and he enjoys working now. One gets so he can tell when they are faking. All sorts show up here now. The university graduate may come in here in the same group as the fellow who can't write his name. That's the democracy of the road. There are more colored fellows on the road now than there used to be. Herman J. Zabel, deputy sheriff and chief of the identification bureau, battling for C. E. Jackson, sheriff, said he came to the surface and took a leisurely look all around the horizon. As I stood quite still he did not appear to notice us. Then he slowly sank below the surface as a swell came along, gave a powerful sweep of his flippers in direction with the swell and rode in till it broke, when he turned back from it by a combined body roll, dive and reverse action of his flippers, as nearly as I could tell, when trying to see everything at once. I suspect he used his hind legs in this turn but I could not detect it. After turning he swam in part circles and erratic zig zags for about twenty yards as though pursuing fish, but as I could see none large enough to be tempting and as he seemed to make no effort to seize any, he may have been simply playing with the little fellows somewhat as a cat plays with a mouse. After coming to the surface for another look, he went through similar performances two or three times. In all of these movements I could see no use of the hind legs in swimming, though they seemed to be very effective in guiding. He next indulged in comparative rest for a time. First he stood upright in the water, "treading water" almost exactly the same way that a man would do, except that his hind legs were not bent. Instead of the knee action of a man, he used foot action, his enormously long, thin feet being bent into the ordinary position of a man's feet. The front legs, or flippers, were at the same time gently beating the water like a man's hands. This exhibit did not last long but merged into a series of side poses in all of which the hind legs could be plainly seen in use, almost as much as the front legs. Finally he gently turned on his back and swam very slowly for a little while in that position with head out of water. Foot movement of the hind legs was easily seen in this case also. He very soon turned over again, swaimlessly about for a short time and then slowly swam under the pier. I ran to the other side in order to be standing still when he came out, but in doing so I must have attracted his attention for after he passed he suddenly put on high speed and went out of sight in a moment. At high speed I could still see no evidence of the up and down sculling movement of the hind legs described by authorities and which I had myself seen in some of his slower movements. It was very noticeable, however, that in connection with the long, powerful sweep of his front flippers, there was an alternating body roll somewhat similar to that of a man swimming the crawl stroke. The whole series of performances lasted about five minutes and all ex- morning when the work gang was being chosen. He said he had hay fever and other troubles. I put him in the 'hole' for a couple of days, and he enjoys working now. One gets so he can tell when they are faking. "All sorts show up here now. The university graduate may come in here in the same group as the fellow who can't write his name." That's the democracy of the road. "There are more colored fellows on the road now than there used to be." Herman J. Zabel, deputy sheriff and chief of the identification bureau, batting for C. E. Jackson, sheriff, said he thought that vagrants should be paid, perhaps fifty cents a day, while working for the county. Then they would not be on "their uppers" the day of their release. "Now," he said, "the vag is no better off when he leaves the jail, than when he entered. Though of course his stomach probably is stretched a little tighter, and usually he is decidedly cleaner after the rest. "But without money, he naturally drifts to the next town and takes another turn in jail. That's rather a discouraging prospect—from one jail to another with a short hungry period in between." An intensely dry, hot wind called the "zonda," which blows down from the Andes upon the plains of Argentina, was formerly thought to owe its heat to volcanoes. It is really a "foehn," such as occurs in Switzerland and army other mountainous countries, where winds, robbed of their moisture in crossing the mounting their descent. A process of reclaiming used writing paper has been patented by a German inventor. If it's from Witman's it’s good. Wm. J. Oelke FUMIGATOR 218 S. Clementine, Anaheim Phone 240-M Dr. C. S.

SAND BAR FARMING AT RIVER'S MOUTH The fact that a sandbar has formed across the exit of the Santa Ana river has revived a number of contention regarding the character of the work done there by the Orange-co harbor commission. Out of the situation, an outstanding statement is agreed upon. That is Someone will have to be on hand during the first flood to see that there I am opening cut through the sandbar. It seems to be generally agreed that when flood waters arrive against the sandspit between Huntington Beach and Bitter point someone must see that the waters get to the ocean through the channel built for them instead of breaking a way through the sandspit as they did in 1916 before the river mouth was established. The throwing up of the sandbar has arrounded some discussion in the past two weeks. As a result of the situation, Supervisor S.H.Finley has retreated his contention made at the time of the Craig controversy some months ago that the harbor commission failed to keep faith with the people when it did not build the jetties at the river exit in accordance with the original harbor plans. He asserts that the commission used money originally intended for the river exit in doing work inside the harbor. In reply, members of the harbor commission have stoutly maintained and do today maintain that the situation at the river mouth is nothing to create comment; that the sandbar is not a message; that its formation was expected and that natural thing to expect at a river mouth from which no water flows during a part of the year. There is danger that the storm waters of a heavy flood might break through the sandspit at some point other than at the constructed mouth is stated by a number of those who are familiar with the situation. However, those who are familiar with the situation believe that the chances are strongly in favor of the water using the exit but the county will have to watch the sandbar at the first of the storm season and see that an opening to the sea is provided across it so that the storm water current can wash out the channel.

During great floods such as the one experienced in 1916, large quantities of silt washed into the bay. In order to prevent the harbor from filling up, it was decided to give the river a new exit across the sandspit between the low area and the ocean.
