q ACRAMENTO, Cal.-The re-
~ cent discovery of oil in the
vicinity of the Norwalk
State Hospital. which ia located
about twenty miles from Los
Angeles. may result in the State
reaping revenue which would
nearly pay the upkeep OF the
State government, 1t became
known here recently.
Gilbert b. Daniels, chairman of
the State board of control, de-
clared that the hospital property
is believed to be rich in oil de.
posits.
Several oil companies already
have made overtures to the
board of control to secure a lease
denied reports to the effect that
offers of purchase have been
made, however. The capitalists
have offered to lease IL on a
IONdlty DdslS.
Oil was discovered in the neigh.
borhood of the State hospital
property several months ago. The
new oil fields. located in what Is
known as the Santa Fe Springs
District. have brought in gush-
ers yielding from 1000 to 1000
barrels per day. Some Of the der
ricks are within a few feet Of the
States property.
The Norwalk Hospital property
comprises about 337 acres, and
because the land is low and wet
the State has been much criti-
cized at various times for pur.
chasing the land.
Because of the possibilities that
lie in State property II is believed
that the board Of control will re.
fuse to take the responsibility Of
leasing or selling the property,
leaving it's disposal up to the next
legislature.
One Of the strongest indica-
tions Of the wealth that the State
has by mere chance come into
possession Of is found in the case
of John Dow, gardener at the hos
pital.
Dow, who receives n salary OF
$50 per month from the State, re.
Gently bought n few acres in the
vicinity Of the hospital. Since the
discovery of oil, the land, for
which he paid but a few dollars
per acre, has been leased by him
to an oil company on a one.sixth
royalty basis. The acres are re.
turning him $500 a day, or an
average Of s1S2.500 per year. De.
spite his sudden requirement Of
riches. Dow still insists on keep
ing his state job at 500 per
month.
The oil which is being taken
from the new fields near the
State property Is said to he Of
fine quality and is selling for
s1.45 per barrel, according to re.
ports received here.
Oil experts who have examined
the State property declare II In
one OF the most valuable pieces
Of property In the district.
Many State officials here are
OF the opinion that the legislature

OF all the surprising things that

They were not equally cheer

TRIANON AVAILABLE IN COMPLETE SERVICE Wrought From Solid Silver Design of Rare Grace and
 Seductive Charm.

As early as Revolutionary days, solid silver was the hope and joy of every housewife. Even George Washington - doubtless at the instigation of Martha-sent all his old family pieces of silver from for his new home at the Capitol in New York, ito be melted and remodeled into the newest and most elegant shapes"
 And that is the beauty of solid silver. You can always have it but, for the most part you won't wish to, for nothing can be more beautiful than the old, classic de- signs, those patterns of pure art that our modern silversmiths are today utilizing for their finest pieces5kthe exquisite Trianon De sign, Which may now be found at Fairchild's either in fatware or hollow ware Such design as this has never been surpassed, and it can never be initiated in plated ware or in the baser metals. It is a copyrighted heritage-the royal prerogative Of solid silver = than which there can be- nothing more enduring.
 And the bride of today who mum bers among her wedding. gifts chest of solid silver in the beau tifuI TRIANON, is following the ageLold custom of owning the very foundation Of a home of cu1- ture and beauty-for her treasure is. indeed, mot for age. but for all time"
