RIVER Santa Fe Experts Inspect Proposed Yorba-Richfield Protection District Chief Engineer Clark and Asst. Engineer Kelley, of the Santa Fe Ry., with the committee appointed by the mass meeting at Richfield Monday evening of last week made a tour of inspection of the river from the Santa Fe bridge on the Olive line to the Yorba point yesterday. Several hours were spent in tramping along the north side of the Santa Ana. The engineers gave the matter of flood protection their closest attention and gave the committee much advice. This will be included in a Engineer Kelley, of the Santa Fe Ry., with the committee appointed by the mass meeting at Richfield Monday evening of last week made a tour of inspection of the river from the Santa Fe bridge on the Olive line to the Yorba point yesterday. Several hours were spent in tramping along the north side of the Santa Ana. The engineers gave the matter of flood protection their closest attention and gave the committee much advice. This will be included in a report which the committee will make at an adjourned session of the mass meeting in Richfield school late tomorrow evening. The committee is expected to report on the type and amount of protection work it seems desirable to undertake, how much money it will be necessary to raise, the extent of the district from which it is planned to seek funds by voluntary subscription, as Anaheim has done, and the amount per acre that will be asked. The district will extend from Yorba to Cypress, roughly 12 miles long and will be about 1½ miles wide, containing between 10,000 and 12,000 acres. Some of it, deemed to lie under a double hazard—from a breach in the Anaheim district as well as in the Yorba-Richfield district—will be expected to donate $10 per acre. A. A. Mills, chairman of the mass meeting from City Manager O. E. Steward today learned that the distance from the Golden State Auto bridge to the Yorba bride was 15.554 feet. In this there is 4500 feet of high ground that does not need protection and there is 2650 feet of work in it that will stand. This leaves 7404 feet, about 1½ miles, none of which will require as heavy protection as that being done on the bend by the Anaheim district. It is not that any work will be necessary between the Golden State bridge and the Olive railroad bridge. However, some work will be necessary on the quarter of a mile approach to the Yorba bridge, or from the bridge to the Yorba point. The latter is 1½ miles and would greatly increase the cost. It is believed the county would do the necessary work among the bridge approach. Engineers Clark and Kelley stated the best protection work would cost about $40,000 per mile, including a double row of piling with brush between held down by rock. The second best would be the same with wire instead of rock to hold down the brush. The third would be a single row of piles with planks four feet below ground and six feet above, with brush behind. The latter would cost about $20,000. The protection work now in cost $8000 per mile back in 1917. The protection work now in and which can be used includes stretches Miss Lois Young, charming San Bernardino maid, will catch an orange at the Twelfth National Orange Show in San Bernardino Feb. 17 to 27 inclusive.

BLONDES vs. BRUNE The significance of physical traits as indices of characteristics in an informing way today before the Kiwanis Moore, speaking on the topic "Musculines," Feminines and Moores now is conducting classes of adults at the union principally business men and women, who find such knowledge selecting their forces or in other ways. In substance, the theory he presented was that the masculine, large boned, light haired, type were the leaders in government; the feminine, small boned, dark haired type, the leaders in the arts. The former were people of action, outdoor folks; the latter rather people of thought and workers indoors. When he wakes boy back in Tennessee, he said, he had to speak in school or Saturday afternoons, but never be a good speaker, and most of his practice since had been in the course of teaching. As a youngster he found three things hard to understand: How to leap a fence that was leaning toward him; to love a girl who away; to make a speed please everybody. Getting down to life said that women, co common notion, were dable as men. Proceeding to class types of people, he characterized of the men were large hands and forehead, concave low and long heads, light class of men or women on the frontier of life—one who took the initiative willing to adventure. Women were not satisfied confined in an office, world of action outside there were 22 well marked characteristics of this type. The feminine type, small hands and feet are characteristics opposite the masculine. They were people who occupied shirts in life, and were easily misfits were a failure to recognize them described, he said.

At a mass meeting at Magnolia school last night various phases of the subject were discussed for an hour and a half. Speakers were A. Mills, Ralph McFadden, M. E. Beebe, Dr. L. C. Deming, Justice Reese, Charles Eygabroad, G. F. Collins, Ben Yorba, J. Halladay and others. Plain Dealer for Good Job Printing.

Getting down to his subject, he said that women, contrary to the common notion, were as understandable as men. Proceeding to classify, the two types of people, he said that the characteristics of the masculine type were large hands and feet, convex forehead, concave lower face, high and long heads, light hair, etc. This class of men or women was always on the frontier of life—doers; people who took the initiative, inventive, willing to adventure. Such men and women were not satisfied to remain confined in an office, but sought the world of action outside. He said there were 22 well marked masculine characteristics of this sort. The feminine type, however, had small hands and feet and in general characteristics opposite to those of the masculine. They were the kind of people who occupied sheltered places in life, and were easily controlled. Many misfits were owing to the failure to recognize the distinction described, he said. The blonde races evolved in north west Europe and they were the type which conquered southern Europe and Egypt, built Rome and Greece, etc. Columbus was of the blonde type.

I finally told her to hang up and I would try to get better connection. The operator told me she didn't know what was the matter with the phone.

Two cases of such impoition took place in this city quite recently. The broker showed a supposed client a house, and the client appeared to be satisfied, but instead of signing the lease with the broker acting as agent, went to a banker, who controlled the property, and tried to buy it direct and avoid paying the commission. According to a prominent broker here, the man declared repeatedly that no broker had seen him. The banker, however, ascertained the truth, and then told the would-be buyer that he couldn't have the house at any price.

Hasson is in favor of installing a Sterling electric siren to be operated by the truck driver. This would cost about $500 but could be hooked up with an electrical signal system later. It is claimed for the Sterling that it can be heard eight miles against a wind. The present alarm is given from the city power house where the pressure is not uniform. On the occasion of the Wilber fire, along with everything else that seemed to be wrong, the siren did not sound very loud. When a fire alarm is phoned in now the exchange operator calls the fire department and the driver must call the powerhouse and tell how many signals to blow before starting the truck.
