The Weekly Gazette. ESTABLISHED 1870 Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ... $1.00 THREE MONTHS ... $ .50 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Anaheim lost the first league baseball game with Orange, played last Friday on their grounds by a 10 to 3 score. The first inning Orange scored two runs on errors while for eight innings, Anaheim was not able to get a man home. The score up to the ninth inning was 10 to 0 against us, but with one down Stewart singled, Schmidt, next up, placed one over second base for a safe hit. Danker was out for blood as he had failed to get a hit so far, he caught the ball square and it sailed far over right field for an easy home run but as the next batter struck out it was all over, and it was Orange that did the yelling. Danker pitched a good game, but his support was wobbly at the most critical times. Stewart played a steady game at third, making some rather difficult catches. The next game will be with Santa Ana on our home grounds, next Tuesday. This should be a good game as Santa Ana is a strong team. The score Friday does not represent the respective merits of the teams. PARENT-TEACHERS The Parent Teachers association will hold its regular meeting, Tuesday, May 1st, at 3:30 at the Fremont school.

The meeting was well attended by delegates from all over the county as well as many guests, besides. A feature of the meeting which was not on the program was the salute to the flag given by those attending the meeting and a talk by Mrs. Strong of Santa Ana on our flag and how to protect it from carelessness. Among the reports given by the different department chairmen, the suggestions from two or three cities as to increasing the interest in farming vacant lots and all available spots were of especial interest. The board of trade in Santa Ana is offering prizes for the best school gardens while Fullerton is furnishing the water free to a band of school boys who are procuring all vacant lots possible and planting thereon beans which they propose to furnish free to the United States government.

Anderson of Santa Ana gave a splendid report of the legislative work done by her committee, speaking especially of the community property bill which is up for consideration now, and the farm school bill which has been tabled, probably for at least two years, owing to the war situation. The emergency committee's principal work has been in connection with the Children's Seaside Home at Huntington Beach where the committee have been doing good work, especially along the line of furnishing shoes for the little inmates, besides food. Just before lunch the election of officers occurred, which resulted as follows: First vice president, Mrs. C. E. Lush of Orange. Third vice president, Mrs. Shepherd of Fullerton. Recording secretary, Mrs. Kemp of Anaheim. Treasurer, Mrs. W. W. Simons of Santa Ana. Historian, Mrs. Clarkson of Santa Ana. Parliamentarian, Mrs. Stanley of Tustin. The lunch was especially enjoyable being served at long tables set under the trees and most abundantly provided with good things furnished by the hostess association and delegates. After lunch an unusually good program was furnished by the school and very much enjoyed, following which the talk given by Dr. J. Harold Williams, director of research at the Whittier State school, was listened to with the closest attention. The Doctor said the school received boys up to the age of 16 years and kept them until 21 at which age they were discharged, although many boys were paroled on good behavior before that time. The staff of the school includes a psychologist, a doctor, a field worker and another who serves in a clerical position. These find, by a system of "measurements," that 36 per cent of the boys in the school are feeble mindless from two of three cities as to increasing the interest in farming vacant lots and all available spots were of especial interest. The board of trade in Santa Ana is offering prizes for the best school gardens while Fullerton is furnishing the water free to a band of school boys who are procuring all vacant lots possible and planting thereon beans which they propose to furnish free to the United States government.

The mines, largest quartz stamp mill properties in the world, passed into history beyond redemption when the waters of the Gastinau channel broke into the underground workings, flooding all the mines except the Ready Bullion. The Seven Hundred mine began caving in from the surface soon after the waters entered underground, and several homes, the Natatorium, an immense steel oil tank and the Treadwell clubhouse were wrecked. The loss of the mines, valued at $60,000,000 has stipulated the residents. Many of the people were forced to flee from their homes on Douglas island to firm ground at the north end of the island. Many miners who attempted to rescue others and who spread the alarm had narrow escapes from death. Shafts became out of line with the shifting of the earth, jamming the cages in which the rescued ones were being hauled to the surface. Just as the miners were lifted from the 1500 foot level the water shot up Whittier State school, was listened to with the closest attention. The Doctor said the school received boys up to the age of 16 years and kept them until 21 at which age they were discharged, although many boys were paroled on good behavior before that time. The staff of the school includes a psychologist, a doctor, a field worker and another who serves in a clerical position. These find, by a system of "measurements," that 36 per cent of the boys in the school are feeble minded, as contrasted with 2 per cent in ordinary schools. The serious part of this is that these boys marry girls as physically and mentally unfit as themselves and bring into the world more feeble minded children whose condition is deplorable. And this the Doctor says is the reason he has brought the subject to the attention of the Fourth District, that they may urge clubs to wake to this evil with the end in view of entirely eradicating these unfortunates by bringing forth legislation along the lines of, possibly either sterilization, segregation or establishment of separate schools for those in this condition. At the conclusion of the address many questions were asked which showed that those present were keenly interested in the speaker's remarks. At the hour to adjourn the guests departed feeling they had come to 200 feet out of the shaft, forced by an air whoop, at the same time filling all the tunnels up as far as the famous Glory Hole. Actual loss to the mines is $10,000,000 but this is slight when it is considered that the great output, which supports this district, has been stopped. Future mining here will be impossible, say residents.

According to Paris advices, the Germans held in August and September, 1914, 8.4 of all the territory in France. This amounted to 17,388 square miles. Since their retreat from the Marne the Germans have evacuated 70 per cent of this area, or 12,161 square miles, leaving 5227 square miles, from which must be deducted 10 per cent of territory evacuated since the English and French offensive began some weeks ago. This would leave the territory held by the German army in France, 4705 square miles.

Clara Kimball Young is one of the most popular actresses in the show world, and in "The Common Law" she is at her best. People who failed to see this on the previous occasion of its presentation at the Grand should not miss it tonight. Friday and Saturday Franklyn Farnum will be featured in "The Clock" and the famous comedian, Charley Chaplin will be shown in "The Woman," one of his best. Matinee Saturday afternoon. Sunday, afternoon and night, will be presented "Undine," the water nymph, a fairy story. Going to the famous French classic, Undine, written by Pierre De La Motte Foquet, the promoters of Bluebird Photoplays have found the basis of one of the most beautiful features ever presented upon the screen. Henry Otto, who directed the photo classic, has not followed with great exactness the story of Undine, in presenting the Bluebird feature of the same title, but has brought the inspiration of the story into adaptability for screen use. While the basis is a most famous fairy tale, the producers have provided cognizant of the condition now existing have seemingly launched a great development campaign. This week's survey of the oil companies operating in the local field shows that a renewed activity has spread throughout the entire field. While the pipe and steel material situation is still a matter of concern, the Standard Oil company reports the coming in of needed supplies and are able to proceed with all work outlined. Other companies are able to continue with their work at present. There is a concerted feeling among oil men that the United States government will readily see the seriousness of the pipe situation and take measures to induce the mills to devote their attention to the manufacture and shipment of the necessary pipe and oil well supplies to this and other fields. The oil men will do all in their power to produce oil for the national defense if the government will look into the matter of getting the necessary materials to do the work with. Hundreds of oil wells can be started immediately if the government will give the matter the necessary attention and see to it that the operators are given the equipment needed for the drilling of wells. The Fullerton-Brea-Whittier field now has 73 wells drilling. No wells have been abandoned during the past month. The local field now has 673 well producing 47,500 bbls. a day, and yielding a monthly production of one million four hundred barrels. The Amalgamated Oil company have outlined a mass of new work that will keep all departments of the company busy for some time. They have a new rig completed for Hualde No. 2. On the Anaheim lease they have material on the ground for a new rig to be known as No. 56. Field Superintendent Grinnel stated that his company would go right ahead and rush their development work as fast as consistent and careful work will allow. The Birch company did not open up INVESTIGATING NEW DITCH CLEANING DEVICE Superintendent of Water Company Instructed to Examine Machine At Riverside Superintendent McFadden was instructed at the directors' meeting of the Anaheim Union Water company Saturday to investigate a new ditch cleaning device now in use at Riverside. On motion duly seconded the superintendent was instructed to get some new measuring gates to take the place of the ones rusted out. On motion duly seconded the question of renting about 20 acres of the company's property on Placentia avenue to Mr. McClellan for pasture purposes was referred to the superintendent. Communication from Geo. T. Barr, secretary of the California Mutual Water companies association was received and filed. On motion duly seconded the following transfers of stock were granted: 5 shares from J. Hunter to J. Ruedy, 8 from J. Stern to Wm. E. and L. J. Kelly, 1 from S. Lee to Chas, Eygabroad, 7½ from C. F.

Co., regarding the pumping of sand into the brush protection work near Gypsum was referred to the Superintendent. Communication from committee on irrigation inquiry of the state of California was referred to a committee composed of the attorney, president and superintendent for reply. Report of the Amalgamated Oil Co. for the month of March was received and filed. THE FIRST TEN THOUSAND Definite word has been received at the headquarters of the Military Training Camps Association, 749 South Spring street, Los Angeles that the transportation expenses of the accepted applicants for the Officers' Training Camp to be held at the Presidio, San Francisco, beginning May 8th, will be provided by the government as well as uniforms and subsisites. The strength of "The Little Girl Next Door" consists largely of the sense of actuality that it gives to the scenes depicted. Based upon the little known but threatening conditions found in our great cities by the famous Undine, written by Pierre De La Motte Foquet, the promoters of Bluebird Photoplasts have found the basis of one of the most beautiful features ever presented upon the screen. Henry Otto, who directed the photo classic, has not followed with great exactness the story of Undine, in presenting the Bluebird feature of the same title, but has brought the inspiration of the story into adaptability for screen use. While the basis is a most famous fairy tale, the producers have provided such marvelous beauties to impersonate the physical charms of Queen Unda and her under sea court; have found in the Catalina Islands, such entrancing vistas of sea, forest and shore that the picture is at once a scenic marvel and photographic delight that the grown ups who witness the Bluebird feature will find that fairy tales when photographed under modern conditions, make mighty fine entertainment for the old as well as young. No need to believe in fairies to enjoy the beauties of "Undine." The story is in itself mortal, moral and elevating in its purpose—for it points out the punishment that comes to fickle-hearted man, and shows how womankind can best apply the reproof for inconsistency to those who fail in their standards. The fact that fairies are largely concerned in the workings of the plot does not make the moral effect of the photoplay any less to be considered. In "Undine" there are many scenes devoted to the realm of Unda, queen of the vasty deep. The beautiful grotesis of the Catalina Islands; wide stretches of smooth, sandy shore, and the picturesque rocks and restless sea provide a natural setting for the artifice of the photographer and the pantomime of the clever girls who disport at their own free will on the sands, and dive and swim like sportive fish in the waters of the Pacific. There are a score or more of these impersonators of mermaids, nymphs and water sprites. "The Little Girl Next Door," which will be presented Monday and Tuesday is one of the most striking photoplasts and successful drawing cards ever seen at a local theatre. Crowded houses were the rule in the first week on its presentation in Los Angeles. The strength of "The Little Girl Next Door" consists largely of the sense of actuality that it gives to the scenes depicted.

The call for the "First Ten Thousand" is bringing hundreds of applications to the Los Angeles headquarters and the Examining Board of U. S. A. officers, in charge of Colonel John C. Gresham is working overtime passing upon the fitness of the applicants to become officers in the new army of 500,000. Five thousand applicants are desired by May 1st. The majority of the men who have been examined have been between the ages of 21 and 26 years. Men of mature age and judgment are wanted and the examining board has sent out an appeal for applicants between the ages of 30 and 44 for the higher grades for it is thought that men under that age are not mature enough to be given captain and major commissions. After the three months' training course the successful attendance at the camp will accept the commissions decided upon by the war department. Special stress is laid by the examining board on the character and sobriety of the applicant, his personality, address and force, his reputation and standing in the community and whether or not he is likely to command the respect of officers and men.

Crowded houses were the rule in the first week on its presentation in Los Angeles. The strength of "The Little Girl Next Door" consists largely of the sense of actuality that it gives to the scenes depicted. Based upon the little known but threatening conditions found in our great cities by the famous Illinois legislative commission, and showing many political, ecclesiastical and civic notables, the impression that it leaves is that the spectator has been looking upon real life, which is in fact the case. OIL FIELD NOTES The oil business is one that has not suffered thus far from teh effects of the great world war. The great struggle cannot be carried on without petroleum. Oil is as necessary as bread and explosives in modern warfare. California in the past has supplied a very liberal portion of the world's oil supply, and the Allies will continue to look to us for the necessary fuel oil and gasoline to operate the engines of war used today. It is a known fact that the oil producing areas of California have not produced as much oil during the past year as formerly, that there is a shortage of some 40,000 bbls. daily and that at the very opening of America's movement toward entering the war the oil supply of this state is close to nothing. The situation calls for immediate action on the part of the operators, and to prove that the oil men of the local field are Fewer Eggs are required with ROYAL BAKING POWDER In many recipes the number of eggs may be reduced with excellent results by using an additional quantity of Royal Baking Powder, about a teaspoon, for each egg omitted. The following recipe is a practical example: Chocolate Sponge Roll 1¼ cups flour ½ teaspoon salt 1 cup sugar 2 eggs 2 squares melted chocolate 2 tablespoons melted shortening 1¼ cup hot water 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 teaspoons Royal Baking Powder The old method called for 4 eggs and no baking powder DIRECTIONS—Sift flour, baking powder and salt together three times. Beat whole eggs. Add slowly sugar, then boiling water slowly; add next vanilla, melted chocolate and melted shortening, without beating. Sift in dry ingredients, and fold in as lightly as possible. Pour into large baking pan lined with oiled paper, and bake in slow oven twenty minutes. When done, turn out on a damp, hot cloth, spread with white icing and roll. Booklet of recipes which economize in eggs and other expensive ingredients malled free. Address ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO. 135 William St., New York MISSIONARY SOCIETY The Home and Foreign Missionary Society of the Presbyterian church met last Friday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Nagel, a large number being present.
