BEEBE SETS NEW RECORD FOR HALF-MILE MEANDERS AROUND SANTA ANA TRACK IN THE TIME OF 1:59 4-5 —FORMER RECORD 2:9 OTHER ANAHEIM WINNERS IN ANNUAL COUNTY TRACT MEET —ELLIOTT SHOWING CLASS Clarence Beebe, known as the Anaheim Wonder, set a new Pacific Coast record for the half-mile run at Santa Ana on Saturday in the annual county high school track meet. He waltzed around the track in the time of 1 minute 59 4-5 seconds. The former record was 2:9. Beebe's work is considered phenomenal, and Coach Dean Cromwell, of U. S. C., said that he considered the Anaheim boy the greatest half-miler he had ever seen, and it is thought Beebe will likely have a place on the Olympic team in 1916 if he continues to improve as he has in the past. One of the remarkable things about the phenomenal Anaheim runner is that he comes into the finish seemingly as fresh as he started. At Santa Ana Saturday after completing the race, he calmly put on his bathrobe, and talked with friends in an automobile near-by, not done up at all by his hard race. His performance on the five-lap Santa Ana track is considered remarkable, for the track is notably a poor one, and he is expected to beat his Saturday's record when he Brubaker (Orange), third. Height 10 feet. Discus throw—Elliott (Anaheim), first; McCollom, second; Woodruff (Santa Ana), third. Distance 104 feet 5 inches. Former record 96 feet. Broad jump—King (Fullerton), first; Woodruff (Santa Ana), second; Plavan (Santa Ana), third. Distance 19 feet 10 inches. 880-yard relay—Won by Santa Ana. Robinson, Foutz, Smith and E. Fahey. Santa Ana won the meet with a total of 45 points, Orange came second with 34 points, Anaheim third with 27, Fullerton fourth with 14 and Huntington Beach fifth with 6. Seven county high school records were broken by participants in the meet. They were the 440-dash, 880-run, high jump, discus throw, high hurdles, pole vault, and relay race. Coach Walter Hall comes in for a deal of praise for his excellent work in coaching the Anaheim lads this year and turning out a good set of winners. He has kept the boys working overtime and the success scored by Beebe and others of the squad is due largely to Hall's coaching and counsel. He is popular among the high school students and it is confidently hoped that he will remain with the local school for some time to come. He has scored a decided success here and has the support of all the high school members and others in his endeavor to put Anaheim on the map in athletics. BUENA PARK MUTUAL AID HOLDS SESSION Officers Elected For Ensuing Year—Features of Enjoyable Meeting (Correspondence of the Gazette) BUENA PARK MUTUAL AID HOLDS SESSION Officers Elected For Ensuing Year—Features of Enjoyable Meeting (Correspondence of the Gazette) The Ladies' Mutual Aid Association held their annual meeting in the Masonic hall on Saturday, March 8th, with about 50 ladies in attendance, among them many from neighboring towns. The secretary and treasurer reported the society in good financial condition, about $300 in the treasury and something like 50 active members. Mrs. I. D. Jaynes was unanimously re-elected president, Mrs. Allen secretary, Mrs. Ed. Martin treasurer, Mrs. H. Haggerty and Mrs. John Perry first and second vice-presidents. After the election of officers a recess was declared, and all adjourned to the banquet hall to partake of an elegant turkey dinner with all the accompaniments of mashed potatoes, all kinds of delicious salads celery, olives, fragrant coffee and last, but not least, a perfectly delightful plum pudding. It certainly was a feast long to be remembered. The company then returned to business. Mrs. J. H. Wright, one of the founders of the society 24 years ago, as well as its first president, was then introduced by the president and made some very pleasing remarks on the wonderful growth of the society, which originally was composed of five members. Mrs. Wright closed by offering a resolution, unanimously carried, that in future, some tribute of rememberance be offered to departed members. A letter of thanks from Mrs. Spiedell and her daughter, Mrs. Smith, for flowers sent to Mr. Spiedell's funeral, was also read. Business was then adjourned and an elegant program rendered by the following persons: Vocal solos by Mesdames McComber, Murray, McCutcheon and Perry; readings by a tiny tot, Angela Durand, Mrs. Allen and Mrs. Nettie Robeson; instrumental solo, Mrs. Wilson; vocal solo by Mesdames Wilcox and Perry and a beautiful trio by Mrs. McComber, Mrs. Wilcox and Mrs. John Perry. The entire program was exceptionally fine; but the writer cannot forbear making especial mention of the vocal numbers rendered by Mrs. Perry, Mrs. Wilcox and Mrs. McComber and the support of all the high school members and others in his endeavor to put Anaheim on the map in athletics.

Chapter will give another of their popular dances on the evening of Friday, March 21st. Mrs. Adams' orchestra will furnish music for dancing. Everybody was delighted with the dance music at the last party and will be pleased that it is to be repeated. In addition to the dancing there will be tables for cards in the banquet room for those who wish to use them. Mrs. Nettie Robeson will not give an entertainment in Masonic hall on the evening of Easter Monday, March 24th, as planned, on account of illness of some of the participants. Date of this affair will be announced later. The friends of Mrs. Dr. Hasson will be glad to learn that she is rallying from her recent severe illness and is now able to sit up and see company a little while at a time. The last meeting of the Whist Club was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. T. L. Gardner. An elegant dinner was served at 7:30 P.M., after which all adjourned to the parlors and enjoyed a fine game of progressive 500 until after 11, some of them, those who drove over, failing to reach their homes until the "wee small hours." Comparative Digestibility of Food Made with different Baking Powders From a Series of Elaborate Chemical Tests: An equal quantity of bread (biscuit) was made with each of three different kinds of baking powder—cream of tartar, phosphate, and alum—and submitted separately to the action of the digestive fluid, each for the same length of time. The relative percentage of the food digested is shown as follows: Bread made with Royal Cream of Tartar Powder: 100 Per Cent. Digested Bread made with phosphate powder: 68½ Per Cent. Digested Bread made with alum powder: 67⅓ Per Cent. Digested These tests, which are absolutely reliable and unprejudiced, make plain a fact of great importance to everyone: Food raised with Royal, a cream of tartar Baking Powder, is shown to be entirely diges- THIRD DISTRICT ROAD MONEY INCREASED (Continued from page 1.) sessed valuation of the county and showing a much greater percentage of increase in assessed valuation and population than any other district, it is held that by addition of a few outside precincts, the district would be entitled to two supervisors. It is known that Yorba desires annexation to the third district and with addition of territory from the second district, the third district could be given two members of the board of supervisors. This is a matter which has been earnestly discussed in this section for more than a year past, and it is more than probable that an initiative petition will be presented the supervisors in the near future, asking for a vote upon this matter. It is also stated that one of the members of the county highway commission intends resigning shortly. Mr. Schumacher will insist that his successor be named from the third supervisor district, which since the resignation of Mr. Chapman two years ago has been without representation upon the commission.

It is aimed to include the precincts of East Anaheim, Placentia and Olinda in the fourth district, and the second district will be enlarged, if plans now under consideration by the board are adopted, by including Orangethorpe, Buena Park and possibly La Habra. This would give us two beautiful shoestring districts, reaching from the southern to the northern limits of the county. In order to prevent this gerrymander, taxpayers in the northern end of the county are discussing the propriety of circulating an initiatory petition to the board of supervisors asking them to redistrict the county upon a fairer basis. This they hold ought in justice to themselves be granted by the board, but failing to receive such action, they will carry the matter before the people for a vote at some time in the not distant future.

Professor Wilson once said in his quaint way that the old idea about a college education unfitting a lad for work had quite died out. "We no longer hear," he declared, "stories like that of Gobsa Golde. When Gobsa Golde's son Scattergood desired to go to Princeton, he said to the old man: 'Pater, is it true that boys who go to college are unfit for work afterward?' 'Of course it ain't true!' snorted the old man indignantly. 'Why, I've got a Princeton graduate runnin' my freight elevator, two of my best coal heavers are Harvard A.B.'s and a Yale B.S. is my star truck driver.'" John Kenneth Turner, brother of Prof. R.I.Turner of this city, and author of "Barbarous Mexico," who was recently captured by the Huerta soldiers in Mexico City and who was to have been shot as a disturber of the peace of mind of the Mexican populace, escaped the toils of the Mexican law and has arrived in New York City. His brother here received news the first of the week that he had arrived in New York City with the Madero party who had also escaped their enemies, and was safe on American soil again. It is stated that John Kenneth Turner was to be shot by the Huerta soldiers, but before the execution was to have taken place, he escaped from a drunken guard, and after hiding in Mexico City for a time, with the aid of friends made his way to Vera Cruz, boarded an American ship secretly, and arrived at New York last week. Prof. Turner was very glad to learn of his brother's escape, for he had feared that he would be killed by his enemies in Mexico. C.H.Conliff and Miss Rosa Stender of this city were married on Tuesday of last week at Tuscon, Ariz. The happy couple will spend a fortnight visiting points of interest in the adjoining state and will return to this city to take up their permanent residence. The groom is a well known business man of this city and the bride is a young lady with many friends in her social set who extend felicitations over the wedding.

Also to the Bible school at 9:45 and the Young People's meeting at 6:30. The musical feature of the season is a sacred cantata, "The Daughter of Jairus," to be given by the Presbyterian choir on the evening of Friday, March 28. Fuller announcements will be made later.
