MAXWELL INTERESTS CONSERVATIONISTS Leading water conservationists of the County are much interested in the declaration of George H. Maxwell President of the National Reclamation Association, that the California Arizona High Line Canal would provide a means, and the only possible means, of obtaining a permanent water supply for Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. The supply would come via the Santa Ana river, of course. W. C. Mauerhan of Katella road, said that the county couldn't get too much water, and that if Maxwell's scheme was the only feasible one he was heartily for it. At the same time Mauerhan again voiced his warm approval of the water spread operations undertaken by the three counties, and said that this work had hardly begun. Up to last year each of the three counties had appropriated only $1,000. Last year they appropriated $2,000 each and for the coming season $5,000 is likely. Mauerhan declared that with $25,000 per year for five years from each county the three counties might obtain a similar amount from the Federal Government, which would insure enough water for 25 years to come. Despite a much smaller rainfall, the water level in wells about Anaheim is 10 feet higher than on the same late last year, said Mauerhan. H. H. Hale of Placentia, president of the Anaheim Union Water Co., while he would not give an opinion in favor of the Maxwell plan until he had investigated it, was much in that Orange county could benefit from a canal taking water from the Colorado river. "I would not want the government to take over our present holdings and dictate how and when", said Hale. "And I wouldn't want to put our holdings in the hands of any State commission. We have enough State commissions already." Even if the water obtained should come down into the Chino basin we would Benefit declared Hale.

"I would not want the government to take over our present holdings and dictate how and when", said Hale. "And I wouldn't want to put our holdings in the hands of any State commission. We have enough State commissions already." Even if the water obtained should come down into the Chino basin we would benefit, declared Hale. The Anaheim Union Water Co., of which Hale is the head is closely allied with the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Co., in equal shares. Maxwell's plan provides for a supply of 16,400,000 acre feet of water per year from the Colorado river, taking the water out at Glen Canyon and, almost paralleling the Southern Pacific, carrying it to a point slightly north of a point roughly half way between Whitewater and Cabazon Peak. Between the San Gorgonio Pass and the San Jacinto river a 16-mile tunnel would convey the water. One end of the tunnel would be 1442 feet above sea level, the other 1426 feet. Because the water would have to flow by gravity, the Bonider Dam canyon project would be of no avail to the three counties, because its height would be only approximately 900 feet. Other projects are shallily defective. The High Line Canal would divide the 16,400,000 acre feet equally between Southern California and Arizona. The former half would be divided, half to the Conchella and Imperial Valleys and half to the so-called interior basin, of which the three counties are a part. WHITE SLAVE CHARGE (By International News Service) LOS ANGELES, June 20—Charged with violation of the Mann act in a federal grand jury indictments in connection with his alleged interstate transportation of Fanchon Duncan, 25, for immoral purposes, Edward Francis Howard Gaye, motion picture actor, was scheduled to be arrested today.

SURVEY SARTED FOR INDUSTRIAL TRACKS Work began today in the survey for spur tracks to be laid by the U. P. and Santa Fe thru Fullerton's industrial site on the Bantanzchurry ranch. Definite plans for the tracks on a 50-50 basis by the two roads was reached yesterday after consultation between the engineers of the roads and William Record, city engineer of Fullerton. ADAMS HAS GREAT TIME AT ATLANTA The recent seventh annual convention at Atlanta, Ga., of Kiwanis International was replete with interesting features, according to report sent to the Plain Dealer by Henry M. Adams, delegate from here. The calendar was set back 60 years when the Atlanta Kiwanis club staged an old-fashioned "Plantation Days" as one evening's feature. The southern colonel of the old school, the mountain fiddlers and ante-belum darkies all had their part in the entertainment. Thousands of visitors witnessed for the first time scenes familiar to the "old south". Owen Lovejoy, noted exponent of children's nights, addressed the first regular business session of the con-Child." "Among America's under-privililed children," he told the Kiwanians, "are the sons and daughters of all Kiwanis club members who make their family life a second and subordinate consideration. To these are to be added all children who are denied the advantages of a real system of education, a large per cent of the 1,000,000 children catalogued by the United States census as child laborers and the children who work all but a small part of the year on our modern industrialized farms." Mr. Lovejoy suggested that the Kiwanis International work for: "A school for every child in America; adequate teachers' salaries; a health service to keep children well rather than to heal disease; a juvenile court that shall be the gate to self-respect; a system of play-grounds and park for every city and the abolition of child labor." The Under-privileged Child Movement is one of the chief activities of Kiwanis Club International. One of the brilliant social features of the convention was a lawn fete at the beautiful country home of Mr. and Mrs. Preston S. Arkwright, given by the Atlanta Rotarians in honor of the visiting Kiwanians and their wives.

True to Kiwanis custom the international convention featured its singing. Jules Brazil, the internationally famous Scotch Canadian song leader and entertainer, led the convention singing, appearing in kilties and wearing a monocle. Jules, with irresponsible wit and enthusiasm, kept the convention's spirits at high tide. An exhibit covering the various departments of Kiwanis activities located in the lobby of the headquarters hotel, graphically furnished an idea of what Kiwanis is doing. Many interesting musical organizations were present from all parts of the country. Among them the Highland Pipers from Toronto, wearing kilties and playing their Scotch Bag-pipes. The Alabama Boy Industrial School Band from Birmingham, Ala., the 24th Regiment Band from Ft. Benning, Columbia Ga., the original Kiwanis Glee club of Houston, Texas and then Kiwanis band from Sidney, Ohio, and Asheville N.C. The extension department reported that 238 new clubs had joined the Kiwanis circle since last annual international convention. OIL CO. INCORPORATES W. F.

WATER HEATER VENT CAUSES BAD FIRE Fullerton trustees last night reported that the recent fire on East Amerige-ave., next to the Fullerton hospital, was caused by a water heater venting fire into the attic. It was agreed to instruct the city attorney to draw up an ordinance providing that water heater vents must go thru the roof. H. V. Weisel, city attorney of Anaheim, appeared before the board and presented joint contracts for the outfall sewer. The sewer plans are divided into four sections, one including Fullerton, Anaheim, Orange and Santa Ana; two including Fullerton, Anaheim and Orange; three including Fullerjon and Anaheim, and four including only Fullerton. G. F. Foster was granted permission to place a popcorn wagon in front of the Farmers and Merchants Bank. The Wickersheim Co. was awarded the contract for a new Ford and J. R. Gardiner the contract for a new truck for the water department. The treasurer's report for May showed a balance June 1 of $480,383.54, of which $49,000 is in Liberty bonds and W. S. S. Two petitions were filed in regard to the proposed new traffic ordinance. One petition was for and the other against the proposed ordinance. The petitions stood 19 for, and 45 against the law. The trustees decided not to pass the ordinance, but to encourage business men to keep their machines off Spadra-rd during business hours. The ordinance would have provided a penalty for parking a machine in certain zones. BEAUTIFUL BLOOMS AT HIGHWAY GARDENS The Plain Dealer is today enjoying the gayety of a huge bunch of gladiolus in a gamet of colors from snowy white to flaming red, and variegated blooms of many color combinations. The proprietor, C. R. Hannah, of the Highway Bulb Gardens, was the donor of the lovely flowers. The Highway Bulb Gardens are located on the highway south of Anaheim, across from El Retiro ranch, where gladiolus, amaryllis, iris, narcissus, freesia, ixia bulbs are grown in quantities for the market, or for the individual. There are 30,000 plants of 45 varieties, all extra choice. Motorists are enjoying the lovely displays of gladiolus at the stand kept by Mr. and Mrs. Hannah along the roadside. Other blooms are furnished in season. Mr. Hannah* is supplying the florists of this vienna, and today came into town with his Ford loaded with the tall stocks of gorgeous colored mammouth sized blooms. After all, perhaps the best place to go for a week-end is the office of an alienist. A letter was received from Gaston Bastanchurry offering the city a 20-foot strip along Brea-rd. thru his property, widening the road from 60 to 80 feet. The matter was taken into consideration, to give the city engineer time to figure out the costs of the proposed widenings. The city attorney was instructed to begin condemnation proceedings against the Bramby property on So. Brookhurst-ave, for the purpose of opening the avenue across the railroad. MUST RAISE PESTS TO FEED PARASITES Operation of a county insectory means raising as many pests of a given kind as of parasites to prey MUST RAISE PESTS TO FEED PARASITES Operation of a county insectory means raising as many pests of a given kind as of parasites to prey upon them. It also means raising the plants necessary to feed the pests. Claude Russell, in charge of the local insectory, revealed three interesting facts yesterday and showed the laborious methods by which such work has to be carried on. The principal plans used at present is the humble potato, or "potato sprouts." The mealy bug, which is the chief pest now being fought, finds the sprouts as delicious as the cryptosporidia does the bug. The Citrophilus, Citrus and Baker are all desert to the parasite, but particularly the clorophilus, which is by far the most prevalent of the three. But the sprouts are soon used up, being short lived anyhow, so Russell now has started to raise thousands of pepper trees, which he hopes will withstand longer the attacks of the bugs. Biological control, or control by means of parasites, is the only sort which the insectory attempts. It has work enough in that direction. Some work also is being done against the red, purple and black scale, but not much against the last, because a satisfactory para site has not yet been obtained. The aphycus is still effective in groves where the black scale is in an unoven hatch and it is being distributed. Given favorable conditions, the aphycus is excellent until the 11 different secondary pests which feed, not upon the tree, but upon it and the scutellista, multiply in sufficient numbers to kill off the two. The quaylea is the chief of these secondaries, and mistake in identifying it accounts for much of the failure to quell the black scale. The Eusemion is another deadly secondary. The insectory is maintained by contributions from the packing house association members, which comprises most of the independent organization and all of the exchange associations. One-fourth of a cent per box of packed fruit is contributed. The Orange County Post Control Ass'n has taken part indirectly in obtaining a more vigorous inspection at border points of autos and other vehicles entering Mexico which might bring in other foreign citrus fruit pests from which the county as yet has been free. The Bureau of Quarantine of the State Department of Agriculture has supervision of this work, which includes inspection of steamers coming in from the Oriental St. Sebastian Brothers Quality Dry Goods-Notions-Road-to-Woar 119 W.
