This was the first meeting over four years, as during the war the club disbanded and turned their funds and energies toward the Red Cross work. This club originally numbered 20, but only 12 of the old members are left. This is purely a social affair and the afternoon was spent in needle work and visiting.

BREA NEWS About seventy employees of the General Petroleum Co., in various capacities, such as drillers and general field men, were laid off at Brea and vicinity during the past two days. No reason was assigned for this reduction of the forces, but the men were given their pay checks in full on the La Habra Valley Bank in Brea, made out by E. S. Brooks, one of the head men of the oil company against his personal or emergency account and quite a number of these were cashed in Fullerton. The oil workers stated that this action came without any warning, although there have been rumors of reductions in drilling forces at the oil connection with important public works to be carried out in the Congo. Not all of Belgium's industries are prosperous. Like other European countries she is feeling the pinch of the abnormal economic situation. There is a continuance in the drop of iron and glass prices.

Yet the following is the text of a message sent to King George by the Society of Dorset Men in London in their local patrols at their annual dinner. It was signed by the president of the society, who being the Earl of Shaftesbury and a high court official, might have been expected to know the English language better. "To His Majesty Jarge. "Sire,-Dree hundred loyal men vrom Darset, voregather'd at th' Connaught Rocms, Kingsway, on their yearly Veast Day, be mindful o' yer Grashus Majestu, an' wi' vull hearts de send ee the dootvul an' loyal affecshuns o' th' Society o' Darset Men in Lun'on.

SEAL BEACH NOTES Miss Ethel Matson and son, Kenneth, of Los Angeles spent the week end with the Harding family. Mrs. Katherine Smith and daughter, Ruth, of Inglewood, were guests over Sunday of Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Dodson. Miss Nellie Jones of Long Beach, formerly of Upland, was the guest of her friend, Mrs. J. B. Dixon, on Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Morrow and Laughter returned Saturday from Selma, where they spent a few days last week on business. Miss Marie Walder, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Louise Walder, of Thirteenth street was quite ill the past week with the measles. Mrs. C. W. Raymond, sister of Mrs. William Ahern, arrived from Chicago on Wednesday and will make her home in the future with Mrs. Herrling at Long Beach. Robert Mills of Huntington Beach spent a couple of days in town this week. Mills owns a ten-acre tract near Anaheim Landing. He is at present in the restaurant business in Huntington Beach. Judge Curtis and Mayor McNabb of San Bernardino spent the week end at Seal Beach. The judge owns a summer home on Fifth street and will soon be moving down here to spend the summer. Affection is kindled in a soft heart; affection in a soft head. You can say one thing for these angular women. They are never mixed up in an eternal triangle. BELGIUM IS FAST RECOVERING FROM EFECT OF BIG WAR BRUSSELS (By Mail)—Belgium is proving as triumphant in the arts of peace as she was in the arts of war. From all quarters reports are being received testifying to the almost incredible progress made since the armistice in the reconstruction of devastated areas, restarting of industries and the revival of trade that war stagnated. Before 1914 there were 140,099 inhabitants in the districts now partially destroyed and 123,225 in the totally destroyed area. In 1919, 127,404 persons had returned to the first, and 57,612 persons to the second district. In 1920 there were 135,739 persons in the first and 96,568 in the second. Now over the whole area there are only 30,000 fewer inhabitants than before the war. In 1914 there were 66,450 agricultural dwellings. At the time of the armistice 16,602 had been partly destroyed, 36,955 completely destroyed and only 10,983 left intact. In 1920, 27,178 dwellings were registered as definitely reconstructed, 18,903 in the course of reconstruction, and 12,628 huts or temporary dwellings had been erected. Agricultural figures show that in 1914 there were 126,715 hactares of land under cultivation; in 1919, 46,500 hectares were put back into cultivation, and in 1920, 51,475 hectares. The work of restoration has therefore now only 28,936 hectares to restore, and 97,779 are in a condition to be cultivated. As the reconstruction services are able to put into order about 6000 per month, it will only be a few months before the whole of the agricultural restoration will be complete. The country is now taking considerable interest in overseas enterprise, and the growing shipping, in conjunction with the increasing Congo prosperity, adds to this interest and keeps it well alive. It is reported that the government will shortly issue a Colonial loan for 500,000,000 francs in Overland $695.00 F. O. B.

But taking Belgium's industries as a whole, she is enjoying far more prosperity than most of her European neighbors. One reason the small is so slow is because he doesn't have to hustle for a place to live. In the old days a widow could dress her 16-year-old daughter in skirts and thus conceal her own age. A cynic never enjoys anything. He always finds a kiss too innocent to be thrilling or too thrilling to be innocent.
