Now and Then By The Editor BAD PRACTICE; VIOLATING PLEDGE. A Los Angeles police officer was killed Saturday night by a paroled convict. In rounding up crooks, an officer went to a house and there found a number of men shooting craps. Among their number was a man who has a bad record, yet, in the face of this record, he has been paroled by the state board. Here is the man's record: He is Philip Alguin, Mexican, aged 26, height five feet three inches, weight about 150 pounds, eyes maureen, hair black, complexion medium dark brown and sallow; face pitted and rough. Laborer. Has words "Arizona Phil" tattoed on lower interior left arm. He shot and killed Detective Sergeant Fitzgerald. Alguin was first arrested in Los Angeles in October, 1911. Escaped from lone, went to Stockton, committed burglary, fled to Los Angeles and was arrested July 6, 1913. Sentenced to two years in Folsom. Released early in 1915, came to Los Angeles, arrested on burglary charge in March that year. Freed in August. Arrested August 23, 1916, sent to Folsom. Discharged November 3, 1916, came to Los Angeles and was arrested by Detective Sergeant Fitzgerald. Entered San Quentin February 12, 1917, to serve eight years, but was paroled May 3, 1921. HALF HOLIDAY ON SATURDAYS PLAN OF AUTO TRADES Ninety per cent of the members of the Orange County Automobile Trades association favor Saturday afternoon closing of their places of business through the months of July. August and September, it was said, following reports from different parts of the county submitted at the annual meeting of the association.

The association by formal motion, recommended that all members close their places of business Saturday afternoons during the three months. The action is merely a recommendation to the members.

If there is anything in the above criminal record that holds anything in favor of the man now wanted for murder, we fall to see it. What prompted the parole board to extend leniency to a confirmed criminal, we fail to understand. The parole is a good thing in some instances perhaps, but when men who are known as habitual criminals, we fall to understand why they are given their freedom to go about their nefarious work again. This man Alguin is a criminal and according to his activities has always been a criminal. We don't know how the parole board feels about it, but if we were a member of the board that paroled Algun, we would feel as though we would not care to face the relatives of the police officer who was shot and killed Saturday night by the habitual criminal. NEWSPAPER GUYS; FREE ENTRY. A poet who says his name is S. R. Scout has written a very interesting piece of verse entitled "The Newspaper Guy." Poet Scout tells how easy it is for a newspaper guy to get anywhere he wants to go without paying the usual price. He mentions everything except the "infernal region" as a place where newspaper guys enter without question. The only newspaper guy we ever heard of going to Hades was turned back by Satan with the remark that he didn't need anyone around there to run the place for him. Here is what Poet Scout says of the Newspaper Guy: I see a man pushing his way through the lines Of cops where the work of the "fire fiend' shines. The chief?" I inquire, but a fireman of Fullerton, who has rendered the organization valuable service during the past year. Other officers chosen were: First vice president, Robert Atkinson; second vice president, J. F. Kaufman; treasurer, H. H. Dale; attorney, Carl Helm. Herbert O. Davis was re-elected secretary. The annual meeting of the California Automobile Trades association will be held at Santa Barbara today and tomorrow. Indications point to a good-sized delegation from Orange county. DIRECTORS KIWANIS MEETING TONIGHT The monthly meeting of the directors of the Anaheim Kiwanis club will be held tonight at 7:30 in the auditorium of the Anaheim Union high school.

PICNIC The members of the Grace Lutheran church Sunday school will meet at the church at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning to go to Orange county park to spend the day picnicing. only newspaper guy we ever heard of going to Hadés was turned back by Satan with the remark that he didn't need anyone around there to run the place for him. Here is what Poet Scout says of the Newspaper Guy: I see a man pushing his way through the lines Of cops where the work of the "fire fiend' shines. "The chief?" I inquire, but a fireman replies: "Oh, no!" Why, that's one of those newspaper guys." I see a man walk through the doors of a show, Where great throngs are blocked by the sign S. R. O. "Is this man the star, that no ticket he buys?" "Star, nothing! He's one of those newspaper guys." I see a man on the trail of a crook, And he scorns the police, but he brings him to book! "Sherlock Holmes?" I inquire—someone scornfully cries "Sherlock, H—! Naw, he's one of those newspaper guys." And some day I'll pass by the Great Gates of gold, And see a man pass through unquestioned and bold. "A saint? I'll ask," and old Peter'll reply: "No, he carries a pass—he's a newspaper guy." Germany casualties in the world war were 6,888,982, or nearly seven millions. There are nearly seven million arguments in favor of international disarmament.

Funeral services will be held in the Catholic church, Fullerton, Father Galvin officiating. The parade from the undertaking parlors to the church has been announced to include in the order nam. NEW LAW PROTECTS BOTH PARTIES IN LEGAL DISPUTES RICHMOND, Cal., June 20.—When Governor William D. Stephens signed a bill introduced in the legislature by Assemblyman Rosensaine of San Francisco making it compulsory for justice courts in California to try the cases of poor litigants who could not ordinarily afford the costs of litigation to obtain their rights, he only made a law out of a practice that has been pursued here by Judge John Roth. Roth has always made it his policy to settle matters between disputants in his own private office whenever he says that taking the case into court would cost more than the principal involved. "In petty cases where from $15 to $50 is involved," said the justice, "I usually try to clear up the matter out of court by means of letters or by personal interviews. As a rule the defendant, or the plaintiff is in error, sees the point and settles up. "I believe the new law is a fine thing and I will be glad when it definitely goes into effect. The time of a court is too valuable to waste when cases could be settled by a few minutes interview with both parties."

Following the arrival of the body of her son, the mother broke down under the long continued strain attendant upon the young man's death. While preparations for the funeral continued the condition of the grief-stricken mother became such that it developed she would be unable to attend the last rites to be held over the body of her hero son. Monts's of grieving over the loss of her boy, whose death in France It takes three generations to make a gentleman; and about that many to eradicate a hyphen. occurred just after the declaration of the armistice seemed to promise safety to all American soldier lads, were followed by the strain of waiting for the arrival of the body. Finally a few days ago it became apparent that Mrs. Dyckman's endurance had reached its limit and it was feared that a complete breakdown would result. She was at once taken to the cottage at Long Beach where the members of the family have spent so many happy months during the lifetime of their son and brother, and there she will remain until the ceremonies, which will mark the burial of Fullerton's war martyr, are completed. The Anaheim Post of the American Legion will attend the funeral in a body. The Woman's Auxiliary will also attend and members are requested to assemble at the Post's clubrooms, in Prescel's Hall tomorrow morning at 8:30 o'clock. All members are urged to attend and wear their uniforms. The Baccalaureate service at the Anaheim Union High school last night,, marking the opening of commencement week was attended by several hundred people, including patrons of the Anaheim schools and their friends. The feature of the evening was the address of Dr. Thomas G. Burt, who spoke on "Fidelity to Ideals." As a bit of sound advice to young people approaching the business of life, Dr. Burt's address was a gem. Fidelity to ideals will never be forgotten by any member of the large class of 1921 of the Union High School. Dr. Burt spoke of an instance two or three years ago while he was in New York state on a deer hunting expedition. When a young man he had established the principal of respecting all laws, both man made and God's laws, so far as he could. In this instance in the Adirondack mountains, a deer came around a point within easy shooting distance of Dr. Burt. Taking jaim, Dr. Burt was about to end the career of the deer when the town clock, sounding from afar, struck the midnight hour. Dr. Burt took the gun from his shoulder and fhe deer escaped.

It was Mr. Dunton's plan to entertain his guests in the salesroom, but when the crowd began to assemble, he was forced to throw open the entire building, and the entertainment and dancing was in the large store room.

Among the out-of-town guests were Mr. and Mrs. Briggs of the Detroit office of the Ford Motor Company, Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Groves and Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Harris.
