TAKES INTEREST
IN STATE GUARD
MORE SOLDIERS TO DEFEND
CALIFORNIA NEEDED
GENERAL LAUcK SHOWS NEcES-
sITY FOR HOME MILITIA
Advocates Increase in Number Of Ma
tional Defenders-other Items
Of interest to Local Mill
tary Men

Gen. ]. B. Lauck, the adjutant en-
eral of California, is immensely proud
of the interest taken by the national
guard membership of the state, which
he thinks shows a genuine spirit OF
patriotism. He is even more filed with
the Importance of preparedness to de-
fend the California coast from invasion
and loses no opportunities to sl1o"
that every officer and every man IN
the national guard of California. Is
equally appreciative.
"If we are to have war the Gene
of activity is sure to be the Pae Inc,
said Gen. Lauck at the AleXa ndrla
yesterday. From feelings both Of ma
tional and state honor it is into msely
important we be equipped IN TINS state
to repel any invasion. We ha Fe no
merchant marine and few war essels.
California is also actually an isolated
state, for the army could not be
rushed here on short notice, ano. there
are no double track lines from the
east to assure the quick tran 5porta-
tion of regular troops.
Nov, if we should be attacl ted the
enemy would naturally not be kind
enough to send us advance no tice. 1t
would probably be given out 4 cruise
was planned and Californ la and
Hawaii would likely be alta cked ST.
simultaneously. Take the stu alton at
San Francisco, than which there is not
a better fortified harbor, and you will
find the regular force statioTIed there
is about one-third the number needed
for actual defense. The saline situa-
tion will be true at your own harbor
when you have 1t developed.
Change Would Cost $500 ,ooo, 900
ITO change this by increasing the
standing army would entail a yearly
cost on the government of 1885,, 900 000
But to bring UP the national guard of
the country to a standard permitting it
to meet the emergencies of war would
not cost more than 12,000 900 or $15,-
100000 That is plain business ques>
tion. which anybody can figure out.
''To US in California there comes a
heavier responsibility than is laid on
the interior states, and I am sure that
officers and men of our national guard
thoroughly realize it. You would think

Watches Harbor Development

Col w. G. Schneider, commanding
officer of the Seventh infantry, ma
tional guard of California, is watch
ing closely the development of the
harbor and keeps as we'll posted as San
Pedro authorities on the seaport devel>
opment.
THE establishment of fortifications
and the harbor improvement will give
to the national guard added RESPONSE
bilities of great Importance" he said
yesterday. 1.-The regular troops will
have the responsibility of the harbor
defense, while to the national guard
there will be assigned the duty of
guarding all the country back of San
Pedro harbor.
1T will be necessary for us to know
thoroughly every bit of the country
around Los Angeles, to have it thor
oughly mapped out and to be ready to
report when called on regarding any
phase of 1t. That will mean consider
able work, but it will be important"

ditional work of which the public
hears little, but which will tell won
derfully when the need comes.
THE national guard of California
now numbers 1924 officers and men,
which includes the infantry, cavalry,
signal corps and coast artillery, and in
addition there are 800 members of the
naval militia What we want from
the people is not money so much as
the moral support of the business men
Employers Should Assist
"If a member of the national guard
is willing to sacrifice his time and give
up vacation and recreation in order
better to fit himself to defend his city
and state and country, it is not asking
much of his employer to allow him to
get away a short time each year for
this purpose. The officers and men
who are working to make the national
guard an efficient body do so prac.
ideally without compensation; 1 do not
think you could find any higher type
of patriotism, nor any more needed.
THE public, certainly should appre-
ciate what the national guard is do
ing. The day of the tin soldier is past
absolutely. The national guard is on
the same footing as the regular army,
and is advancing toward a perfect Of.
ficiency with great strides. The reg
ular army officers appreciate this, as
have had occasion to see this year.
If the business men generally will gain
MIA they may certainly depend on the
national guard and of the immense
necessity for bringing it up to the
highest possible standards in Califor-
nit they may certainly depend on the
officers and men to do their duty"

were full Of rapture; he seemed to
dwell in the glory of the Lord.
But now I am free from the body
of that death. and subject only to the
yoke of the Nazarene-the Jesus who
l:lbored with his hands to show that
work was honorable: the carpenter
who called about him those as poor as
himself. and preached to them the
love of God and ones neighbor; who

N THE FIELD OF FRIENDSHIP.
There We Are In Contact with Some
Of the Finest Issues Of Life.

The field of friendship is wide one
and all our neighbors, both near and
far. should be candidates for admis-
sion there. The appearance of cold
esteem, the passing salutation empty
Of everything save chill formality,
have larger possibilities behind them
than We are wont to imagine. At any
rate. to believe SO, honestly and con.
scientiously. is an indication of an ac-
tive faith. and is far wholesomer than
the suspicious that do their utmost to
master US. 1t is only through this be-
lief that we shall bring ourselves in
contact with some of the finest issues
Of life and come to understand the
unities and harmonies Of existence.
Nevertheless. it Is we'll to bear in
mind the important fact that man is
not our only friend and neighbor.
Neither patience nor investigation is
necessary to the discovery that all
things about US are capable of invit-
ing neighborliness and dispensing 1t
10 those who are wise enough to take
advantage Of the hospitality that is
constantly profrered. The towering
trees uhough they do not seem to
tower as high as they did when we
were younger), the humble creeping
vines. the delicate flowers that spring
up in a night, casual and ravishing,
the whole movement and rush of ma
ture In her vigorous and insistent
moods. belong to neighborliness in tho
most significant and satisfactory
sense. 1t is something of relief to
discover that we need not depend en-
urely on man for companionship-

his kind are to be treasured in what.
ever relation or condition they are

SURPRISED HIM
Doctors Test Of Food.

A doctor in Kansas experimental
with his boy in test of food and
gives the particulars. He says:
Il naturally watch the effect of diff.
ferent foods on patients. My own lit
tie son. lad of four, had been id!
with pneumonia and during bis conva-
lescence did not seem to care for any
kind of food.
Il knew something of Grape.Nuts
and its rather fascinating flavor, and
particularly Of its nourishing and
nerve-building powers, SO started the
boy on Grape-Nuts and found from
the first dish that he liked it.
His mother gave 1t to him steadily
and he began to improve at once. In
less than a month he had gained
about eight pounds and soon became
80 well and strong we had no further
anxiety about him.
An old patient of mine, 73 years
old, came down with serious stomach
trouble and before I was called had
got SO weak he could eat almost moth
ing, and was In q serious condition.
He had tried almost every kind of
food for the sick without avail.
I Immediately put him on Grape
Nuts with good. rich milk and just q
little pinch of sugar. He exclaimed
when came next day Why doctor I
never ate anything SO good or that
made me feel so much stronger
I am pleased to say that he got
well on Grape-Nuts. but he had to
stick to it for two or three weeks,
then he began to branch out q little
with rice or an egg or two. He got
entirely well in spite Of his almost
hopeless condition. He gained p
pounds in two months which at his
age 10 remarkable.

The occasion. by reason OF the pres
encs Of President Taft and . brilliant
assemblage Of Washington official

Everybody had expected Wright to
make the first OF his official tests
the so-called endurance test" OF an
hour in the air with passenger-and
nobody had forgotten that the last time
he attempted this feat. only ten
months ago. 1t cost the life OF Lieuten-
ant Selfridge OF the signal corps. and
= broken thigh and ribs for Wright
himself. That was the main reason
for the vast crowd. and beneath the
gaiety there was an undertone OF ap-
prehension.
A stiff wind caused the postpone
ment Of the expected trial and all that
Wright attempted was . brief flight
without . passenger. in order to show
the President that the aeroplane
really could ny and to avoid disap-
pointing the great crowd.

either side by Speaker Cannon and
Senator Aldrich. looking on. the ma
chine was trundled to the foot Of the
starting derrick in the center Of the
drill field and poised on the monOrail
preparatory to the start.
Heretofore 1t has been the unvary-
ing practice OF Orville Wright when
giving exhibition or test flights at
Fort Meyer to use = thirty-foot der
rick and weights to project his aero
plane into the air. Tuesday. however.
he discarded this artificial means and
scared away easily and gracefully

motors own power.
The spectators cheered loudly as
the white machine rose slowly into
the air, and again as 1t swerved, top
tilted at an angle Of nearly forty-ftve
degrees ut the north end Of the field.
Three times the machine was taken
around the field. the planes seemingly
assuming q more dangerous angle at
each turn, and with a sharp swerve
was brought into the wind and care
fully landed.
1t was not until o'clock that the
Wright brothers abandoned hope of
undergoing the endurance test of one
hours duration with passenger.
From early in the afternoon until that
hour, the two brothers were besieged
in their shed by cabinet ministers, dip
lomats, senators and representatives..
who had come to the reservation to
witness the flights. They wanted to
see the machine and have 1t explained
to them. They naturally were disap-
pointed when the Wrights decided not
to make the endurance test. but con.
ceded it would be better to wait for
more favorable weather.
The war department has designated
Lieutenant Lahm to accompany Or
vile Wright in his endurance flight,
