HAVE LONG DURATION OF LIFE
Salt Water Denizens attain Immense
Age, If Scientific Investigations
Are Correct.

Water, particularly salt water,
seems to conduce to longevity. There
are gigantic mussels and oysters
whose age is assumed to be compar-
able only with that of the Cape Verde
baobab tree and the big tree of Cali
fornia, which live for 5000 years. In
deed, there appears no particular
reason why mussels should ever die,
though it is also true that, consider
ing the sort of life a mussel leads,
there seems no particular reason why
it should ever have lived.
Sea anemones, again, delicate and
sensitive though they look when we
see them in the rock pools, may at
tain great age. Sir John Dalyell, a
Scottish naturalist, captured in 1928
a sea of the liver-colored
sort so ommon around our shores
It's age was then estimated at seven
years. 1t fourished in Edinburgh un'
til 1887, and was. just attaining a vigor'
Gus and sober maturity when, from
some unknown cause, it died.-Lon'

CALIFORNIA ENACTS
VERY RADICAL LAWS.
LEGISLATURE ADJOURNS AFTER
CARRYING OUT POLICIES
OF JOHNSON.
VICTORY FOR PROGRESSIVES
Summary of Legislative Measures
Shows That Administrations Pro-
gram Was Carried Out in
Almost Every Detail.

Sacramento, Cal, May 13.-The for
tieth California legislature adjourned
yesterday with a practically unbroken
record of victory for the progressive
majority in the carrying of the admin
istration policies outlined by Governor
Hiram w. Johnson.
Alien Bill Excepted.
The much-discussed anti-alien land
holding bill which has become the nub
of an international controversy, can
hardly be listed among these, for
while it had it's inception in the ma
jority side of the legislature, all part
les were united in their desire for a
law that would restrict the tenure of
farm property by the Japanese. The
so-called administrative program may
be summarized briefly as follows:
Workman's compensation act, which
creates a state insurance fund.
Mothers pension act, establishing a
fund for the benefit of orphans.
Rural credits commission to study
European systems.
Minimum wage act, establishing well
fare commission.
Corporation commission to have SUI
pervision over investments securities.
Non-partizan primary election laws.
State civil service commission to
control practically all n~on-elective
positions.
State water commission, controlling
power and irrigation supplies.
A Red Light Law.
One of the most radical measures
which has passed and received the
governors signature is the red ligh
abatement law, which will be submit
ted to the people in a referendum
election shortly. This law places the
responsibility squarely Upon the prop
erty owners and provides practica,
confiscation of property for a year as
a penalty.
