AIRPLANES SCOUT OVER BANDIT PRISON By EDNA LEE BOOKER (L. N. S. Staff Correspondent) SHANGHAI, May 29.—While two army airplanes scout cautiously over Piot Kuku, efforts for the release of the foreign prisoners continue. The Pekin government has wired peremptory officers to Tuchun Tien of Shantung province to accomplish the release of the captives within ten days.

Attorney W. H. Hein- ASK APPROPRIATION FOR FLOOD CONTROL The Tri-Counties Reforestation Committee favors the proposed appropriation of $15,000, $5000 from Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties. It also has recommendations which it will make concerning the manner in which at least Barton Flats shall receive water to be spread. It favors a main canal from the south park of the Santa Ana river with a capacity of 2000 miners' inches of flood water, and lateral canals for ditches extending from it. J. F. Ahlborn, who is authority for this information, declares further that 30 square miles of the flats will be available on which to spread water. The flats, he declares, are heavily timbered and will absorb quantities of water. Ahlborn is chairman of the advisory committee appointed by the Board of Supervisors and also of the water conservation committee of the Associated Chambers of Commerce. The intake proposed is at a point 2000 feet above the flats, says Ahlborn, and four and one-half miles distant. Flood control and water conservation would be combined, as with water spreading before. The U.S. Bureau of Forestry, Ahlborn says, has agreed to co-operate with the three counties. The cost of spreading is estimated at five to 10 cents per acre foot, although spreading in the past has been performed at as low as four cents. The soil of the flats is extremely porous and little or no water would be wasted. DR. J. H. COLEMAN WILL LOCATE HERE Dr. J. H.

TURKS WILL KEEP TROOPS UNDER ARMS (By Louise Bryant) (I. N. S.

MANY ATTRACTIVE BOOTHS AT SHOW Just how attractive a purely commercial booth can be is illustrated by many of the booths in the industrial department of the Orange Show. This department, by the way, has claimed its share of sight-seers even during the height of the entertainment program in the main font. The American Telephone & Telegraph Co. with a double space displays its usual good judgment. There is a switchboard operated at practically all hours by an operator from the Anahiem covehance. Pictures tell the story of the universal service provided by the company. The famous "Waviera of Public Speech," showing the teelephone girl with a big sheaf of wires in her hand, wires that reach across the continent, is still the most striking of these. "Loyalty to Public Service," showing the lineman bundling up to leave his family and go out into the storm, is another worth lecking at. At one side of the booth is the top of a telephone pole. Literature galore is available. Plenty of comfortable chairs enable the pedestrian to enjoy himself while enjoying the booth. The Gibbs, Ganahl Grim, Adams-Bowers and Gibson lumber companies have combined in a booth which with its four big pillars and its porch is a decided credit to them. Redwood and other products of the lumber mill are seen inside. Bulletin gives at a glance useful information to the home builder. The Young Sash & Door Co. has a smaller, but quite as attractive booth near the principal entrance to the department. Besides doors and sash, the company shows a remarkably attractive buffet, bearing flowers and fruit, and a table which, properly stained or painted, would be in place in any drawing room. This, one of Anahiem's smaller industries, makes up in the quality of its products what it still lacks in quantity.
