SOME WATER FOUND IN WHISTON WELL The situation at Montebello for the extension of the field westward lies with the Whiston well on the Bicknell property. Drilled to 4444 the well developed some water and until the solution of the water problem no progress can be expected. Montebello anxiously awaits the outcome of the plugging back of the hole to 4300 where a water test will be made. From all indications the Torrance-Lomita field is to be the next great oil Field of Southern California. Development work is going steadily forward and the operators seem to be getting the stride that brings in the producers. Starting off like other fields with small wells and increasing as the development proceeds the Torrance field is coming into its own as rapidly as good development will allow. At first the field produced small wells of low gravity oil. Two thousand barrels is not an uncommon well now and the gravity is creeping up to 20. R. W. "Tux" Edens staged a comeback at Torrance when his Fortuna Oil Company completed a 1000 barrel well. The Fortuna well moves the line of production a half a mile southeast from the Midway Northern No. 1 the well that created something of a sensation three months ago. The Fortuna well was completed a 3720 and shows what wells under the 4000 mark will do at Torrance. Operators in the Torrance field in addition to the Big 5 are the Fred B. Foster Company, Geo. F. Getty, Julian Petroleum Corporation, the Peterson-Barker Syndicate and the Petroleum Midway. The Fred B. Foster Company will drill a well on block 23, lot No. 5, George F. Getty has increased his operations to five wells. The Julian Petroleum Corporation has started operations on the Splitzdoser property formally known as the Torrance-Lomita Royalty Syndicate. The Peterson-Barker well is held up temporarily with top water trouble, but will make an oil well soon. The Gilmore Petroleum Company has its second well drilling. The North American Oil Company CLAIM FRENCHMAN FIRST IN AMERICA PARIS, Oct. 4.—Four years before Christopher Columbus planted the Spanish flag in the sandy soil of the island of San Salvador and proclaimed the "new land" to be the domain of Queen Isabella, the mainland of America had already been discovered by Jean Cousin, a French sailor. That is the contention of the Corican Review, a French publication printed in the interests of the Island of Corsica. Setting out from Dieppe in the spring of 1488 in a small sailing vessel manned by a select crew, the French mariner was carried by the Gulf Stream to the coast of what is now Brazil, near the mouth of the Amazon. Cousin, however, lacked the fore-sight and initiative to make capital of his exploit. His own account of the voyage, deposited in the naval archives in the city of Dieppe, was lost in 1604 when the English bombed and almost entirely destroyed the city. Cousin's first mate on the voyage was Vincent Pinzon, a Spaniard, who, with two brothers, later joined Columbus' crew. Volsin de la Popeliniere in a "History of the World," written in 1582, credited Cousin with the discovery of the new continent. Other French history writers give the credit to Columbus. Milk in Human Diet By W. E. ALLEN (Calif. Biological Feature Service) According to Dr. I. C. Hall of the department of bacteriology in the University of California, who spent some time at the La Jolla biological station this summer, there is a great deal of experimental evidence to show that milk is an extremely valuable feature to include in human diet. Various kinds of experiments have been performed on human beings, both children and adults, mostly by simple use and disuse of milk in ordinary eating. Much has also been IAN Petroleum Corporation, the Peterson-Barker Syndicate and the Petroleum Midway. The Fred B. Foster Company will drill a well on block 23, lot No. 5, George F. Getty has increased his operations to five wells. The Julian Petroleum Corporation has started operations on the Splitzdoser property formally known as the Torrance-Lomita Royalty Syndicate. The Peterson-Barker well is held up temporarily with top water trouble, but will make an oil well soon. The Gilmore Petroleum Company has its second well drilling. The North American Oil Company has three wells underway. The Pan-American Petroleum Company has four wells under way. The Selby-Root Oil Company has a well drilling, the Southern Midway, the Sentinal, and the Security Syndicate. The Superior Oil Company (W. M. Keck.) is one of the heavy operators of the Torrance field, this company has ten wells under way. The U.S. Royalties owner of one of the best wells in the field has started three wells. The Standard Oil Company is doing its share of the west end development and the Union Oil Company is drilling two deep test wells. If discovery wells are field index wells the Compton field will elapse anything that has been discovered since the famous Chapman well at Richfield. The discovery well of Huntington Beach was a 90 barrel well after 30 days, the first well of the Springs field did a 150 barrels, and Long Beach's discovery well, Akamitos No. 1 made its 438 barrels. The Union Oil Company's Callender No. 1 now after 30 days production has increased its output from 900 barrels to better than 1300. Considering the production, its gravity and depth the well is a remarkable one and probably marks the greatest oil field Southern California has yet known. FISH DIE ASHORE: BACK TO STREAM LOGAN, Ohio, Oct. 4.—Learning that thousands of dead fish were floating down the Hoeking River, state game protectors began an investigation. They found that a dredge in Itash Creek dammed the stream during a freshet several weeks ago. The fish died in the fields when the water subsided. A second freshet carried the dead fish into the river. ONLY HALF RATES PARIS, Oct. 4.—"Baby" taxicabs cycle cars with accommodations for only one passenger, are now in circulation in Paris. The municipal council has authorized the operation of 250 of the cars. The tariff is only one-half that of the larger taxis, five cents per mile, and 25 cents for each hour of waiting. HAS NEW INSECT TRAP *Made in several forms, an insect traps have been invented.* According to Dr. I. C. Hall of the department of bacteriology in the University of California, who spent some time at the La Jolla biological station this summer, there is a great deal of experimental evidence to show that milk is an extremely valuable feature to include in human diet. Various kinds of experiments have been performed on human beings, both children and adults, mostly by simple use and diurne of milk in ordinary eating. Much has also been done in more exact ways, such as giving measured quantities, or doses of milk regulated with reference to known quantities of other foods, and giving milk in various forms or conditions, e.g., soured, fresh, pasteurized, boiled, condensed and powdered. Such experiments have given very valuable results in showing the high importance of natural milk in the food of all ages and conditions of human beings. They have also shown that certain modifications, especially the more common forms of souring, do not injure its value, but that some other modification such as boiling and adding preservatives, do lessen or destroy its usefulness. A great deal of experimenting has also been done upon different kinds of animals. When trying to interpret some uncertain results found in man, or when seeking for suggestions as to beneficial usage, it is desirable to work with some small animal which has food habits like those of man. For such uses rats have been found very valuable. Their small size makes it possible to handle many individuals in small space at little expense, and to get results far more quickly than can be done with man and other larger animals. Dr. Hall recently mentioned some experiments with rats in which meat and milk had been used, whereby it was found that animals fed on meat became rough-coated, slothful and dull, while those on milk diet became smooth-coated, energetic and keen. It has also been found by Dr. F. R. Cannon and his associates at the University of Chicago in cases of complete experimental obstruction of the intestine that rats on meat diet died in much less time than those fed on a milk diet. Dr. F. B. Sumner, who has been raising thousands of mice over a period of several years, found that they did not do well on purely vegetarian diet. Therefore, he has for some years mixed small amounts of milk with their other food, and has thus obtained excellent results. Such experiments and observations agree with the common knowledge that among humankind a heavy meat diet is risky on account of liberated poisons especially in the case of inactive people, and that an exclusive vegetable diet is usually harmful if long continued. Apparent exceptions may be due to special adaptations in individuals or bribes.

The municipal council has authorized the operation of 250 of the cars. The tariff is only one-half that of the larger taxis, five cents per mile, and 25 cents for each hour of waiting. HAS NEW INSECT TRAP *Made in several forms, an insect trap has been invented that attracts its victims with an electric lanip, which kills them by its heat and drops their remains into a receptacle.

CALUMPIT CAMP 26 HAS FINE MEETING (By a Comrade) Tuesday night was another regular meeting of Calumpit Camp No. 26, Department of California, United Spanish War Veterans. One application for membership was received and referred to the usual investigating committee. The applicant was F. T. Deaver of No. 1405 East 1st-st at Santa Ana. Adjutant Chas. E. Dixon, as chairman of the by-law committee, reported that the by-laws had arrived and that the committee had secured from Comrades of this camp, adver disements that brought in $4.50 more than enough to pay for the books. Commander Chas E. Waffle reported that he had been asked by the committee of arrangements, for the Armistice Day parade to have the Camp take part in the entertainment and he asked the camp to take up the question of having a float representing some suitable subject placed in the parade. Comrades Kincald, Isbell and Allen were appointed a committee to look into the feasibility of the matter and they will decide at the next social meeting which will be held on October 16th. About the only thing that will prevent us having a float is the state of the Camp's finances, which, just now, are at a low ebb. The comrades very much enjoyed the reading of the report sent in by Captain Richard S. Carr, our delegate to the National Encampment, at Chattanooga, Tennessee. It was reported in Camp that the Auxiliary Tea acquired $42.02 at the booth they presided over at the Orange County Fair and the Comrades lamented that they were not permitted to have their concession in the fair also. We need the money. PLANS TO USE AXE ON USELESS JOBS ALBANY, Oct. 4.—Patronage totaling $4,370,000 is at the disposal of Col. Frederick Stuart Greene, the newly-appointed superintendent of the recently created state department of public works. Never before, it is said, has a state official, with the exception of the governor, had such a great amount of patronage at his disposal. But Colonel Greene has sounded a warning that there will be far fewer jobs in the departments under his control when he gets through. Democratic leaders freely admit that Colonel Greene is in a position to build up a great political machine through proper distribution of the patronage.
