GOOD SERVICE BY AMERICANS IN EUROPE BERT C. SMITH TELLS WHAT OUR AMBULANCE CORPS IS ACCOMPLISHING PEDICTS THAT UNCLE SAM'S SOLDIERS WILL BE THE FIRST TO ENTER BERLIN Anaheim business men at the luncheon last Thursday had an opportunity of learning some of the experiences of the American ambulance corps which is engaged in humanitarian work on the fighting lines in France and Belgium. Bert C. Smith, formerly automobile editor of the Los Angeles Times, but now an officer in the Coast Guard, was the speaker. Mr. Smith has not been in Europe, but he has a couple of intimate friends who have for two years been engaged in Red Cross work in the thickest of battles, and from them he secured authentic information. The work of the ambulance drivers is hazardous in the extreme, as they are in constant danger from shot and accident. An ambulance driver at night going to and from the trenches does not show a light except in flashes, otherwise he makes himself a target and his car would be ruthlessly destroyed. Each ambulance carries four wounded men and frequently, on grand champion calf, bred and fed at the university farm, which beat the whole world at the last international livestock exposition in Chicago, was only thirteen months old, and weighed 1100 pounds. The day of the Texas longhorn has passed. There is far more profit in animals of the improved beef breeds—Shorthorn, Herford and Aberdeen Angus. These beef bred cattle have deeper flesh and earlier maturity. Good breeding pays. Good feeding pays. And this is how California can produce more beef and yet cut down the number of steers and increase the number of breeding cows on the range. PROSPERITY WILL CONTINUE To the encouraging views already expressed in these columns we add those of another competent authority. That the enormous preparations which this nation must make for war and the important part which we must play in the struggle for making democracy safe will not interfere with the prosperity of the country is the opinion now generally held by business men who are in a position to speak with authority. One of the "big men" who expressed this opinion is J. Ogden Armour, of meat packing fame. Incidentally, Mr. Armour is a member of the Illinois State council of defense and of the advisory committee of the council of national defense. Mr. Armour points out that modern war requires the expenditure of huge sums of money, and means maximum employment and high wages for all workers. "Other conditions peculiar to this war," he adds, "makes it certain that this nation will enjoy a period of business and industrial activity like of which has never been seen and which is assured, whether the UNFIT CONNECTION OF ANAHORITY CITY HOME CONDEMNED AS DAY AN EXAMINING TEEN MONTAGE OBSOLETE STRUCTURE GRACE TO MOST SIVE TOWN IN Assuming an addition to debt for the purchase, the erection of a civil proposition that the people would undoubtedly turn present time.

The work of the ambulance drivers is hazardous in the extreme, as they are in constant danger from shot and accident. An ambulance driver at night going to and from the trenches does not show a light except in flashes, otherwise he makes himself a target and his car would be ruthlessly destroyed. Each ambulance carries four wounded men and frequently, on account of the darkness, it gets off the road and falls to destruction because of the hilly nature of the country. Telling of the terrible suffering caused by gas and liquid fire he said an injured man's head would frequently be swollen to twice its normal size, and his agony would be such that physicians compelled to treat the patients had gone insane. The suffering of these victims is now alleviated to a certain extent, he said, by a paste recently invented by a French physician which instantly relieves the pain and eventually heals the burns. Speaking of the reports being industriously circulated that the United States is totally unprepared for war the speaker said that was a mistake arising from the fact that people were ignorant of the situation. "I have seen," he said, "thousands of Springfield rifles stacked up in Los Angeles and hundreds of the latest model machine guns. If Germany is relying upon us being totally unprepared it is greatly mistaken." When the victorious army finally marches into Berlin, he declared, and takes possession of the Kalser's capital, the Stars and Stripes will lead the procession and the American troops will be first. Mr. Smith stated that when he mentioned that he was coming to Anaheim to make a talk a friend asked permission to write his speech for him. "That town," he said, "is populated almost entirely by Germans and you must be careful what you say." He had found, however, he declared, that every man and woman in Anaheim is an American irrespective of the soil on which he was born. Rev. Harry White acted as toastmaster and introduced Mr. Smith. Secretary Whitaker announced that Dr. F. H. Houck would be toastmaster today. Before the meeting adjourned President Fred Backs of the board of trade, stated that the city trustees were about to let a contract for the construction of a new city hall on the IMPERIAL VALLEY COTTON BRINGING PROSPERITY Record Crop This Year, and Quality Excellent The Imperial Valley cotton farmers expect a record crop this year, all kinds of improvements are going forward, and prosperity and booming business are in the air, according to Eugene V. Peckham, associated with the Calexico Lumber company. "Business in Calexico and the entire valley is good," said Mr. Peckham. "The ranchers all seem to have lots of money and they are expecting large crops this year. The cotton crop is unusually good, and through irrigation at the right, is of a much finer quality than the product of the Illinois State council of defense and of the advisory committee of the council of national defense. Mr. Armour points out that modern war requires the expenditure of huge sums of money, and means maximum employment and high wages for all workers. "Other conditions peculiar to this war," he adds, "makes it certain that this nation will enjoy a period of business and industrial activity like of which has never been seen and which is assured, whether the war lasts several months or several years." Speaking of the talk about economy, Mr. Armour said that conditions are such that the public will soon see, if they have not already seen, that there is no occasion whatever for them to become alarmed. They will have more money to spend than ever before, and they will not find the things they want disappearing from the market. Mr. Armour further believes that the high wages which will be paid to every man and woman who desires to work will prove a big factor in continuing the great demand for merchandise of all kinds which has been so apparent in recent months. He also draws attention to the fact that we are extending credit to them; in other words, that billions of dollars will be freed for circulation in this country through purchases of our products. It is really Uncle Sam who is now the great buyer for war purposes and his dollars have already begun to pour forth to stores, factories and farms to pay for the expenses of mobilizing the army and navy.

PRODUCE MORE BEEF California owes it to the nation to produce more beef, declares the committee on resources and food supplies of the California state council of defense. But the ranges of the state are already stocked—they can carry no more cattle. Now Prof. Gordon H. True of the University of California, college of agriculture has pointed out a solution of the problem. There must be no more 2-year-old steers on the range. There must be more breeding cows on the range instead of steers. The selling by range cattlemen of all steers two years old means that many must be sold as feeders, and the valley farmer must buy and feed these steers for market. Most stockmen have failed to grasp the fact, says Prof. True, that it is the strictest economy to feed steers for the greatest possible gain while they are young, since young cattle make cheaper gains than older stock. The first winter is the critical time. It is then the animal must be fed if he is to go to market at an early age. The kinds of improvements are going forward, and prosperity and booming business are in the air, according to Eugene V. Peckham, associated with the Calexico Lumber company. "Business in Calexico and the entire valley is good," said Mr. Peckham. "The ranchers all seem to have lots of money and they are expecting large crops this year. The cotton crop is unusually good, and through irrigation at the right, is of a much finer quality than the product of the Southern States, and many buyers are in the field to secure the Imperial Valley crop. A greater cotton production to the acre is possible, and with more experience, the ranchers should be able to increase their profits considerably." Mr. Peckham states the town of Calexico is perhaps 75 per cent Mexican, but there has been no trouble and none expected. Two thousand American soldiers are stationed there, and across the line in Mexico at Mexicali are 800 Mexican soldiers. The people cross the line at will, and at the recent Calexico high school commencement a feature was the excellent music furnished by the Mexican band from Mexicall. The board of trade has been so fortunate as to secure Edward F. Trefz to speak at the luncheon today. Mr. Trefz is assistant secretary of the Los Angeles chamber of commerce. He will talk on national defense and Red Cross work. Mr. Trefz is a spell-binder, and will deliver one of the best talks ever heard at these luncheons. He is delivering speeches throughout Orange county in the interest of the Red Cross relief fund. Trefz has been in the French, British and German trenches. He has seen war in all its horrors and in all its pitiless destruction. He has seen thousands of dead and wounded. His message is direct, straight from the shoulder.

Chairm UNFIT CONDITION OF ANAHEIM’S CITY HALL CONDEMNED AS DANGEROUS BY AN EXAMINING BOARD SIX-TEEN MONTHS AGO OBSOLETE STRUCTURE IS A DISGRACE TO MOST PROGRESIVE TOWN IN SOUTH Assuming an additional burden of debt for the purchase of ground and the erection of a civic center is a proposition that the people of Anaheim would undoubtedly turn down at the present time. While the people would agree practically unanimously to an issuance of bonds for a necessary improvement, such as a school, there is at present an overwhelming sentiment against the indiscriminate voting of bonds for luxuries. The bonded indebtedness of California now, state, county and municipal, is $225,041,735.33, and it is undeniable that a large percentage of this has been voted for unnecessary purposes. The voters of Anaheim have always responded nobly to a call for needed improvements, such as schools, a sewer system, etc., and will do so again, but they are too cautious to vote a heavy indebtedness upon themselves at this time for an improvement that can be postponed to a more propitious time. The advocates of a civic center are proposing an improvement that no OUR HARDWARE DEPARTMENT IS SECOND TO NONE IN ANAHEIM AND LIKE OUR GROCERY DEPARTMENT YOU WILL FIND THE BEST HERE.

The voters of Anaheim have always responded nobly to a call for needed improvements, such as schools, a sewer system, etc., and will do so again, but they are too cautious to vote a heavy indebtedness upon themselves at this time for an improvement that can be postponed to a more propitious time. The advocates of a civic center are proposing an improvement that no man can condemn. If this idea could be carried to a successful issue it would be a source of pride to every person in Anaheim, but it is absolutely certain that the people will not at this time vote a bond issue of $150,000 for this purpose. The United States is at war just now and is straining every resource to raise a stupendous war fund of seven billion dollars. The first two billions has been raised by strenuous effort, but five billions more must be subscribed and Anaheim, as a part of the United States, must do its bit. It has been argued that a federal building might be secured for this civic center site, but with the government assuming a war debt of seven billion dollars, with an annual interest that may reach or even surpass three hundred millions a year, it will be many decades before appropriations are made for postoffice buildings in small towns. Everybody in Anaheim would like to see a civic center, but the people are not in the humor to assume an additional heavy burden of unnecessary debt when the nation is demanding sacrifices for its defense. Everybody in Anaheim knows we need a city hall and it can be built now without adding an additional dollar of indebtedness or taxation on the people. Some people are either ignorant or indifferent to the condition of the present city hall. They scout the idea of its being unfit. Here is a report made by a committee of reputable men appointed to examine into its conditions nearly a year and a half ago: Anaheim, Cal., Feb., 4th, 1916 Report of Committee Appointed to Examine City Hall Building Committee consisting of J. H. Brunworth, George W. Hamler, and William Stark, Public Improvement Committee of the City of Anaheim; M. Eugene Durfee, Superintendent of Construction, Anaheim; W. W. Scott, Contractor of Anaheim; J. W. M. Buckles, Contractor of Los Angeles; C. McNell, Contractor of Santa Ana; and O. E. Steward, City Engineer of the American air navy of 30,000 machines is the government's aeroplane program for the first year of the war it was officially learned Monday. How to produce this number of aircraft when the eight small American factories were unable to fill half the government's orders last year, has been worked out by the aircraft production board of the Council of National Defense and is now told by the engines for the 30,000 aeroplanes the first year. Furniture factories, twpewriter plants and other mills equipped for the work will manufacture the wings and other parts. These arrangements, already perfected by Chairman Howard Coffin of the board, only await the passage by congress of the $600,000,000 aviation appropriation to be asked. Three training schools for aviators for the new air navy are already under construction at Dayton, Ohio, Champaign, Ill., and Detroit, Mich. Six others and more, if necessary, will be established. Each aeroplane will cost about $18,000. They will be of the slower type with a speed of from 70 to 100 miles an hour. The battle planes being made in France and Great Britain are capable of a speed up to 150 miles an hour. The use of American auto plants in the manufacture of aeroplanes may cut down on the production of pleasure cars, it is regarded as likely by officials. In the belief that American air units can do more to turn the scale in Europe, Secretary of War Baker has put all his influence behind the greatest air fleet building program in history.

To the Honorable Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim: Gentlemen:— After careful examination of the City Hall Building from foundation to roof, we, your committee, beg to report as follows: FIRST: Stairway is unsafe and not properly constructed, and would not accommodate a number of people in case of an emergency. SECOND: Parapet wall at Northeast corner of building was improperly constructed, leans toward the street and has no bond with the side wall for twelve feet; especially unsafe in case of heavy wind or slight earthquake. THIRD: Walls of building about center of East and West sides, are cracked from top of parapet to foundation. The West side has opened one and one-half inches at top. We found further cracks in both front and rear walls; those in front being of a more serious nature than those in rear, and excepting for support of buildings on either side, would open up to greater extent. We found that new cracks have recently appeared, and the old cracks are constantly widening. The cracks are all caused by settling in the foundation of building, and further settlement of foundation or opening of cracks may cause collapse of the building. FOURTH: Condition of Brick—Brick in parapet wall has disintegrated to a considerable extent, and seriously impairs the strength of the wall. FIFTH: After careful examination of all the items enumerated and after due deliberation of the matter, we believe the building to be unsafe for public use. (Signed) J. H.

How to produce this number of aircraft when the eight small American factories were unable to fill half the government's orders last year, has been worked out by the aircraft production board of the Council of National Defense and is now told by the United Press for the first time. The United States will make three main classes of war aeroplanes: Training planes, bombing machines and observation aircraft. The speedier allied battle planes will continue to be made almost entirely by France and Great Britain where this type of machine has already been perfected.

DOPE FIEND ARRESTED AT SANTA ANA Supposed to be the Man Who Has Been Robbing Physicians Breaking through a door in a room at the Orland rooming house, at Santa Ana Sunday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock in response to a call for police assistance, City Marshal Jernigan and Police Officer John Ryan found F. W. Keen holding his wife in a death grip, and with an ice pick in his hand he was striking wickedly at imaginary foes. Keen is a dope fiend and in his arrest the officers believe they have the man who recently has frequented the offices of physicians and burglarized drug stores in search of the drug. When the officers arrived at the rooming house they heard Keen yelling for help, but could not tell which room he was located in. All doors were locked. Under the city marshal's instruction Ryan broke in the aliminary foes. In the other hand he had a long ice pick which he was welding viciously. He was seeing all kinds of "things." It has developed that Mrs. Keen is also addicted to the use of drugs. The officers were not aware of this band. Saturday night the couple gave Mrs. Reuben Elliott, 724 Minter street, a bad scare. While Mrs. Elliott was absent from her home a few minutes, accompanying a friend down the street for a short distance following her departure for home after an evening call, Keen and his wife entered her home. When she returned she saw them in the house and heard Keen shouting for help. Mrs. Elliott went to the home of Miss Kate Owen and the latter telephoned to the police office. By the time the officers arrived the couple had disappeared and could not be found. Keen and his wife were sent to Patton from Huntington Beach last fall. He was released about three months ago on condition that CAPTAIN, THE WORLD'S GREATEST TRICK HORSE AT THE NEW GRAND, SUNDAY, MONDAY AND TUESDAY, JUNE 24, 25, 26.
