Engineers Will Set Cost of

SANTA BARBARA, Calf, July A.
Barbara expected to have to-
day definite information as to the
extent to which IT was damaged by
earthquakes. Field notes of the board
of California engineers. who have
been making a detailed examination
of all public and business buildings
in the earthquake zone, were com
pleted late yesterday and these were
TO be assembled and submitted today

Six Shocks Yesterday.
Six distinct shocks yesterday, one
of considerable intensity had a no
ticeable effect on over-wrought
nerves, ana many who had Ventured
back into homes and places Of occu-
patton again took TO the safety of
the open air to eat. sleep and work.
But they added little TO the material
damage. The most serious effect ap-
peared to be upon the palatiaI home
of c. K. G. Billings, where. accord

mates, the total loss amounted to ap-

the exclusive FL MirasoI Hotel,
which had up to yesterday escaped
damage, fell and did some damage to
the roof and the ornamental tower
of the Montecito Country Club was
cracked. The extent of the damage
there had not been estimated last
night
The engineering report, it was
stated, will present a final estimate
of the cost of repairing or rebuild
ing damaged or destroyed buildings
which the engineers had previously
estimated tentatively TO be not in
excess of $10,000,000.
In addition, the report will present
a list of the buildings which must be
razed and, in detail. what repairs are
required by structures which are per
mitted TO stand.
May Save Mission.
One of the buildings whose fate will
be pronounced by the engineers re
port is the old mission, the one Cal
ifornia mission which from the time
of its founding TO the present has re-
mained under the control of the Fran
ciscan Order of Monks. The present
mission building, whose double-towered
facade is one of the most widely
known architectural features of the
West, was rebuilt in the years be
tween 1915 and 1920 to replace an
older building. which also was de
stroyed by an earthquake. In rebuild
ing 1t was the intention of the Fran
ciscan Fathers to make a structure
which would be earthquake proof
The walls of the church are Of sand
stone and almost feet thick, and

they are badly cracked The mission
fathers hope, however, that the body
of the church, with its curious inte-

mission Indians, may be preserved

now hoped may be restored by minor
repairs is the De La Guerra mansion.

way department, some members of which are
under indictment, thus far has been that
mebody-identity of the person or persons
not specifed-is playing politics.
1t happens that the long investigation of
the affairs of the highway department started
with investigation undertaken by The
Times more than three years ago. The Times
found that many carloads Of used or discarded
war material were shipped to the State COM
mission by the Federal Government 1t was
found that much of this material was in no
way disable in highway construction 1t was
found that the material was disposed of-al-
most all of it to one frm-without competitive
bids.
The Times objected in behalf of the tax
payers of Indiana to this method of doing bust
ness. The State board of accounts, a State de-
partment controlled by Republicans, made an
investigation and the Marion County grand
jury under Republican prosecutor, charged
that the law had been violated.
Where does politics come inf The Times
has not the least objection to a Republican
highway department. We do not care whether
the department is operated by Republicans,
Democrats or mugwumps, so long as the public
gets dollar worth of return for every dollar
expended. We don't care who the members of
the commission or whom they employ, so
long as the department is operated along bust
ness lines.
Why should Republican board of ac-
counts or Republican prosecutor go out of
their way to play the kind of politics that
would be detrimental to their own partyY
Politics has no part whatever in the so-called
"tampering with highway department affairs.
And the politicians who are forever yell
ing "politics" know this better than anyone
else

Pressing
BY Hal Cochran

Says mother to father, Your suit
is a fright. 1t looks like you slept
in a rain storm last night" Then
father replies, Get the iron from the
shelf. I'll save me some coin, cause
I'll press it myself"
The iron sizzles hot, while the
ironing boards set, and dad starts
to press with a cloth that Is wet.
He's having his troubles and frets,
goodness knows. He wishes the
tailor was f1xin' his clothes.
The trousers are spread where the
crease used to be, and the iron just
enlarges the lag at the knee. Poor
dad is convinced that he's wise to
his stiuff. but he presses right over
the dust in the cuff.
And then comes the portion that
gets fathers goat. There's trouble
a-plenty in pressin' the coat. The
shoulders are saggin', the backs out
Of line. When pops halfway
through, he exclaims, Not for
mine!'
And then does the missus rush in
to his aid. She grabs up the iron
and proceeds, unafraid. How easy
he's stumped, though how hard a
man strives. Say, what would men
do, II It weren't for their wives?

land Obey

n HE question of whether or not the bride
should promise to obey the groom, as
prescribed in the marriage ritual of the Episco-
pal church. is up for re-agitation. Just when
it was generally believed that the word was
on its way out prominent persons in the church
are rising to insist that it shall remain.
To help along the discussion, here's
thought:
Suppose these church leaders who believe
that brides should continue to promise obedi
ence, supply definition of the word obey. "
Everybody has heard at least one bride re-
mark laughingy, when the question was raised,
"Oh, that doesn't mean anything!' But the
word must mean something. The bride becomes
a mother and she makes it mean something in
the case of her children If it means something
else in her relationship to her husband, she
should be frank about it at the outset and not
fool the poor goof into believing that if ever
he should undertake to give her an order she
would obey it.
There is certain amount of deceit and
unfairness about this business. Many chap
would never get married if there wasn't held
out the prospect of bossing somebody else
Every man wants to be a boss and most of
them never rise to any position of authority
outside their families If their wives, who APP
preciate their wisdom and know there is sound
reasoning behind every command won't obey
them, what is to be expected of the children2
Husbands are not being obeyed; there is
no question about that. You We only to OBJ

after the lord and masters foot has been put
down firmly against it, to appreciate the truth
of this.
It's all wrong. The groom wobbes weakly
up to the altar borne down by sense of the
responsibility he is assuming Taking supreme
authority over blushing maid, who probably
never obeyed her own parents in her life is
calculated to make a man serious not to say
nervous. He feels the gravity of the occasion.
That is why he looks so pale. But the bride
Gaily she recites the words and when she comes
