News of Long Ago (From Anaheim Gazette) From the Gazette, Dec. 17, 1896. From the Pasadena Star. A horrible rumor comes from Anaheim, if we may credit the Gazette and we trust that Henry Kuchel wouldn't lie about a little thing like that) that a citizen has been set upon by footpads who cudged him with great diligence and tried to rob him—but got nothing. It was not so in the good old days when we lived there. Then if a robber had the enterprise to waylay a citizen on the highway, he was sure of something—if nothing more than a broken head, Henry, these be degenerate days and we weep with you. (The above was written by Chas. A. Gardner then editor of the Pasadena Star and fifty years ago editor of the Gazette. Mr. Gardner still resides at Pasadena, but has long since reformed, and for years has been out of the newspaper business.) From the Los Angeles Express: Anaheim is all torn up on account of the presence of burglars, who threaten to steal some of the pretty girls down there.

Purity League Wrecked Girl Kissed Two Members The Purity League of the New York university class of 1922 is headed for the rocks—and all because of a girl. The organization of seventeen men of the senior class, all of whom swore they had never kissed a girl, never smoked, never cussed and never drank intoxicants, was going along famously, despite the fact it had been nicknamed "the Kissless league." Jack Weinheimer, saintliest of the saintly, was the president and moving spirit of the "Kissless league." To become a member of the league one had to be a senior and as pure as the driven snow on a church roof. He must present credentials of a stainless life and file affidavits setting forth his degree of unsophistication. Syd Crowley, known as the university's handsomest senior, on being ruled ineligible for admission to the league, set out to get revenge on the organization. He and other seniors, closer allied to the flesh and the devil than the Puritans, brought charges that various of the self-alleged kissless were imposters. They threw the leaguers into disorder today by producing a letter from a young woman, popular in New York university circles, who made the bold statement that she had been kissed by two members of the league, and had seen three members indulge in cigarettes.
