WILL DISCIPLINE
FESTIVE JUNK
DEALERS
COUNTY SEALER GEORGE McPHEE
IS CASTING A SUSPICIOUS
EYE ON HIM
SOME OF THEM ACCUSED OF GIVING TOO LITTLE AND TAKING TOO MUCH
The gay and festive junk merchant is to be given special attention by the weights and measures department of Orange county, as their business activities since the price of junk has soared along with all other kinds of merchandise has attracted such unfavorable notice that County Sealer Geo. McPhee has been requested to give these collectors of bric-a-brac the once over and to repeat the operation every little while.
Not to put too fine a point upon it, a great deal of fraud has recently been reported, due to the use of false scales, and that these conditions do not prevail alone in this county may be understood from the fact that all weights and measure officials in the state have been recommended by State Superintendent of Weights and Measures Chas. G. Johnson to make rigid inspection of all scales employed by junk dealers and to vigorously prosecute all frauds in the purchase of junk in violation of the provisions of 355 operations; to make an automatic pistol, 614; and for the terrible little mitrailleus or machine fung 1,990. The lightest 3-inch field gun costs $1,400.
The 14-inch coast defense gun is made at Watervliet Arsenal near Albany, weighing when finished 138,000 pounds and costing $55,000, and wound about with 37,000 pounds of wire. Its disappearing carriage involves as many as 3,000 separate parts.
THE NEW GRAND
"The Greater Law," to be presented in Bluebird photoplays at the New Grand theatre on Friday and Saturday, July 20 and 21, Matinee Saturday at 2:30, will present a romance of the far north, based on Chas. J. Wilson, Jr.'s story, "The Code of the Klondyke." Myrtle Gonzalez and George Hernandez will play the leading characters, with Lawrence Peyton heading the supporting company. Lynn F. Reynolds, who has made so many beautiful "nature study" Bluebirds, created "The Greater Law" in dead of winter among the snow clad peaks of the Sierras. The atmosphere of the Klondyke is reflected in wondrous settings that nature has provided amid the rugged mountains of Northern California.

a great deal of fraud has recently been reported, due to the use of false scales, and that these conditions do not prevail alone in this county may be understood from the fact that all weights and measure officials in the state have been recommended by State Superintendent of Weights and Measures Chas. G. Johnson to make rigid inspection of all scales employed by junk dealers and to vigorously prosecute all frauds in the purchase of junk in violation of the provisions of the weights and measures act.
The most common type of scales used by junkmen is what is commonly known as the "straight face spring dial," a machine of cheap and flimsy construction, graduated by pounds, which if held at an angle will lock and record against the seller. When employed at all, this type of scale should be hung free from the suspension ring to avoid friction.
According to the latest order from headquarters, this type of scale when used for buying junk shall record the weight within a tolerance of the value of the first graduation or it shall be subject to confiscation.
County Sealer McPhee says the junk business is apparently booming, for where there was one engaged in the business a year ago, there are half a dozen now and the craze to take advantage of the opportunity to turn more or less honest penny is held responsible for the numerous thefts of everything in the nature of junk that have been reported recently, the lootings including everything from cotter pins to crank shafts, with anything in brass, copper or nickel as an especial skdline.
So bold indeed have some of these light fingered gentry become that instances are common where warehouses have been entered and scales dismantled and looted, the beams and other fittings stolen and carried off. These depredations have not been charged directly to the purchasers of junk., but to persons who are able to sell to the junk men without having to answer any questions as to where they got the plunder, and so the junk man has to really bear the blame, although he may be honest.
The proposed round up will not hurt anyone, however, McPhee says, and will have the effect of impressing the junk men with the necessity of doing business in a business-like way or of accepting the alternative.

"The Square Deal Man"
A furious encounter with knives and six-shooters, during which William S. Hart fights savagely against two opponents, is one of the stirring scenes of "The Square Deal Man," the Triangle-Kay Bee play written by J. G. Hawks and produced under the supervision of Thomas H. Ince, which will be exhibited at the New Grand theatre Wednesday and Thursday, July 25 and 26.
As Jock O' Dlamonds, a gambler, Hart in this play escapes from two Mexicans, who had planned to kill him, and succeeds in returning to the Hacienda to rescue its mistress, a young girl whom he knows to be in danger of the Mexicans' attack. It is during this rescuing attempt that Hart clashes with the band of "Greasers."
A new leading woman is seen opposite Hart in this play. She is Mary MacIvor, a pretty ingenuue. As Virginia Ransome she is said to have given a remarkably finished performance.
As a special added attraction for Wednesday and Thursday, July 25 and 26, the New Grand offers Le Barge and company, in artistic versatility, a musical act from the Lyseum circuit.
Mr. Le Barge comes to Anaheim very highly recommended. Mr. Le Barge is an unusually splendid performer on the banjo and violin and also plays every thing from standard selections to "coon opera" on an invention of his own the "broom fiddle." A pleasant surprise is no doubt in store for the patrons of the New Grand on the occasion of his company's engagement here.

WAR'S DEMANDS ON METAL RESOURCES
Up to date the warring Allies of Europe have placed orders for 35,000,000 shells in the United States. These orders require a total of 101,000,000 pounds of copper, 46,750,000 pounds of spelter and 173,250 pounds of lead.
One pound of copper is used in making twenty-four Lebel rifle cartridges. Every 125 of these cartridges consumes one pound of spelter and a small amount of nickel. Steel consumption per shell varies more widely with the different types. A finished 3.3-inch shell contains 6 pounds 15½ ounces of steel, the steel shell weighing 6 pounds 5-3¼ ounces and the diaphragm 9½ ounces.
Just thirty-three complete chemical and mechanical operations have to be gone through with great accuracy, precision and carefulness, before white cotton, mixed with sulphuric and nitric acids, becomes smokeless powder.
And after, with elaborate processes, the powder is made at the Picatinny Arsenal, it must travel from Nover, N.J., to the Frankford Arsenal, outside Philadelphia, there to be but an element in the forty complete manufacturing and assembling operations that are required to make an American rifle cartridge.
A rifle is a more or less simple-looking mechanism, but to make this rifle 1,223 separate manufacturing operations must be executed.

MEXICANS ARE TO COLONIZE ISLAND
Colonization of about 5000 acres of land on Guadalupe Island, 125 miles south of San Diego, is to begin soon. The island is not to be confused with that of a similar name farther south. Several hundred Mexican families are soon to become residents of Guadalupe, and will become fishermen and farmers.
Col. J. G. Zertuche, in charge of the first party of colonists, is said to have arrived. He will raise a Mexican flag, presented to him by the Carranza government, on the island. Colonizers are working among the Mexicans in San Diego.
KENTUCKY LANDS TO BE DEVELOPED
Judge J. H. Ferrin of St. Louis, and a corps of engineers representing a development company of St. Louis, have secured options on 10,000 acres of coal lands in the Green River fields, near Upton, Ky., and will begin immediately the development of the coal lands and the establishment of a line of steamers to points on the Ohio river. The company also proposes to establish vineyards and apple orchards, with a view to manufacturing fruit drinks for the Indiana trade when the state goes dry next year.

jected at the polls, and further said the city could not dispose of the present site, because it had been donated by Mr. Helmsen, without price, for city hall purposes only.
Krause said: 'Oh we have looked into that, and the city can dispose of the property.' Krause asked the council what price they would place upon the Center street lot, intimating that a deal was on to take it over, should the city move to a new location.
Trustee Cook—"Mr. Krause, how much of a bond issue do you favor; and do you believe the bonds would carry?"
Mr. Krause did not express a decided opinion, but favored giving the matter a trial at the ballot box.

Trustee Cook—"We know you gentlemen are 'stalling' in this matter, but the trustees are willing to give you a chance to vote on it. I pay as much taxes as any other man in town, and if the people say civic center, why civic center goes with me."
Trustee Dwyer said the board must listen to the voice of the people when making large expenditures of money. We must be fair, and must give them a chance to express their sentiments upon this question, before a final decision is made as to where the hall is to be built.

REV. GILLMOR POPULAR
AT SAN BERNARDINO
Trying to Save Souls by Catering to The Stomachs
Rev. David Todd Gillmor, formerly pastor of St. Michaels, did making himself popular at San Bernardino, judging from the following from the Sun:
Trustee Dwyer said the board must listen to the voice of the people when making large expenditures of money. We must be fair, and must give them a chance to express their sentiments upon this question, before a final decision is made as to where the hall is to be built.
Trustees Cook, Stark, Brunworth and Schneider are on record as favoring the Center street site for a new hall, and using money for its erection out of the geenral fund. The cost of the same is to be inside of $30,000. Much of the old material can be reused in the new structure.
Many bids from architects have been received, offering to furnish plans. The communications were ordered filed.
A special election will cost the city several hundred dollars, and while a great many taxpayers give it as their opinion that the bond issue as proposed would be defeated, still the trustees are willing to waive their prerogative in the case and let the people voice their sentiments as to the establishment of a civic center. Should the election be called there will be two propositions on the ballot, one of which will provide bonds to build a city hall and the other will provide for the creation of a park. It cannot be designated where these are to be located.
A communication was received from John P. Krempel, architect, of Los Angeles, saying that, upon request of F. A. Hartman, he had prepared plans for an ornamental archway to be erected at the entrance to the Anaheim cemetery. Mr. Krempel asked that the city engineer give him the proper street lines, which will be done. The letter was ordered turned over to Bert Simpson, who is meeting with success in providing a perpetual care system for the grounds. The archway will be appreciated by the city, and Mr. Hartman was thanked for his magnanimity.
F. A. Backs submitted to the council a list of articles needed for the library building including floor coverings, a flag pole, books, the salary budget, etc. The list totals $1500, which was granted.
A number of building permits were granted, among which were the renovation of the Yriarte building on West Center, and a large storage room 20x120 on Chestnut street for a new company of which U. V. Simpson is a

SAVE THE SCRAPS
"If every housewife in California will manage to prevent the waste of only one slice of bread each day for a whole year, this will mean a food saving equal to all the wheat that could be grown upon 475,000 acres of fertile ground in the same period of time."
This is the declaration of Governor Stephens, made in a recent address in Southern California, urging every patriotic citizen to cooperate in the conservation of food and prevention of waste, and advocating the campaign inaugurated by women's organizations throughout California for one meatless day each week and one wheatless meal each day.
The state council of defense, complying with requests sent out by Herbert Hoover, named by President Wilson to act as national food controller, has enlisted the aid of the women's organizations in the plan for diminished consumption of wheat and meat. Corn, rice and other grain products are urged as substitutes for those made of wheat. Fish and eggs are to supplant meat.
The state council proposes to carry out the wheatless and meatless propaganda through the newly organized Women's Council of state and national defense, and which already has affiliated with it organizations of women in practically every city, town and village in the state. House to house canvasses are to be made and wherever possible written pledges to abstain from meat one day each week and from wheat products during one meal each day, will be obtained.
BOOSTING POPULATION
Storms of protest are geathering in every section of the country against the census bureau's "paper population" estimates used in apportioning the draft toll of men. They are causing uneasiness in Washington.
REV. GILLMOR POPULAR
AT SAN BERNARDINO
Trying to Save Souls by Catering to The Stomachs
Rev. David Todd Gillmor, formerly pastor of St. Michael's, is making himself popular at San Bernardino, judging from the following from the Sun:
Forty men from the business district, the railroad offices and shops sampled "barbecued beefsteak" at Urbita last night prepared by a crew of chefs headed by J. C. ("Josh") Draper, said it was good and called for more. It was a "dutch treat" affair, staged by Rev. David Todd Gillmor of St. John's church and a committee, and the supper in the open was not only enjoyed but it made it possible for the men to rub elbows, spend an hour informally with stories and jest later on, and to ascertain that the rector of the church is a very human sort of a fellow, who as he put it, is "more man than clergyman."
When the tables were cleared, the party walked up the hill to a grass plot under an electric light, and there listed to stories, talks and jests, with some genuine expressions of appreciation of the work Mr. Gillmor is undertaking, while he in turn solicited cooperation in bringing men under the influence of his church, "but" said he, "don't tell them this was no church affair."
WINNING THE HONOR MEDALS
All the heroes are not in the trenchies or fighting on the battle fronts. Every summer develops some of them on the desert wastes of California, and a story which came in during the weeks betrays the same kind of stuff which wins the Victoria medal or the iron cross, says the San Berdoo Sun.
A Mexican was found almost famished in the blistering heat of the mid-summer sun as it blazed down pitiously on the wastes near Amboy, and one of the county's highway crew rescued him. But almost before his famished lips had tasted the water, he paused to tell of a woman near to death, and several miles back along the road, unable to come further on the way to relief. The road men hastened to the spot indicated and found her and saved her life. Why not some
F. A. Backs submitted to the council a list of articles needed for the library building including floor coverings, a flag pole, books, the salary budget, etc. The list totals $1500, which was granted.
A number of building permits were granted, among which were the renovation of the Yriarte building on West Center, and a large storage room 20x120 on Chestnut street for a new company of which U. V. Simpson is a member.
The L. A. Paving Co. was granted permission to pave Santa Ana street, between Los Angeles and Lemon, the same to be done by private contract. This paving is to be put in to facilitate the handling of storm water. The dip in the street at the intersection of Los Angeles and Santa Ana street, will be removed by the same company, the cost to be 20 cents per square foot, totaling about $220.
Mrs. Harriet Ames and Miss Kate Rea were reappointed as members of the library board.
It was ordered that the salaries of Bard Hannon and Earl Steadman, power house employees, be raised to $85 per month, to take effect August 1st.
The board authorized Engineer Steward to make application to the state board of health for permission to install another Imhoff tank at the sewerage farm. Mr. Steward said that an official of the state board would shortly pay a visit to the local farm on a tour of inspection, and the asking of a permit to make additional improvements is a preliminary step. The state board of health upon former occasions has placed their O. K. upon the Anaheim farm.
Trustee Dwyer of the special committee appointed to investigate the purchase of new hose for the fire department, reported that they recommended the 2½ inch. A representative of a hose company was present, in company of Fire Chief Herman Backs,
Storms of protest are geathering in every section of the country against the census bureau's "paper population" estimates used in apportioning the draft toll of men. They are causing uneasiness in Washington.
The war department is being bombarded with telegrams from indignant cities demanding their population estimates be revised or corrected.
Other cities content themselves with terming the figures "outrageous."
From the figures announced by the census bureau, the quotas of men that each city and county must furnish to the draft armies is being quoted. The higher the population the heavier burden the city must bear in filling the army ranks.
Some of the middle western cities cannot see why they should be penalized because they secured an unusually heavy registration.
In announcing the estimates, the census bureau made it plain that the figures were for use "solely in the draft," and that they were based largely upon registration figures and statistics of abnormal shift in population due to war industries. But Detroit, Mich., fails to see why her population estimate of 850,000 made by the same bureau just before registration should be boosted to 1,521,942 for the draft. At the time of registration, the bureau asserted that the estimates for registration were liberal. Other boosts in estimates hit the following cities hard:
Chicago, boosted from 2,547,201 to 3,639,957 for the draft quotas; New York, 5,896,044 to 6,504,185; Cleveland, 690,837 to 1,125,440; St. Louis, 768,630 to 827,264; and San Francisco, city and county, 471,023 to 550,333.
A Mexican was found almost famished in the blistering heat of the mid-summer sun as it blazed down plecously on the wastes near Amboy, and one of the county's highway crew rescued him. But almost before his famished lips had tasted the water, he paused to tell of a woman near to death, and several miles back along the road, unable to come further on the way to relief. The road men hastened to the spot indicated and found her and saved her life. Why not some Carnegie medals for such as these?
All of which suggests that, while the desert has not been robbed of any of its dangers or suffering from exposure, particularly to the uninitiated, the chances of succor coming have been multiplied a thousand fold by the construction of roads and the increase in desert travel. It is said that, even in this torrid season, with the mercury registering from 120 to 130, not less than 75 cars a day are traveling along the highway from Bastow to Needles, and nuless one becomes bewildered and strays far from the road help is sure to come soon. Even the less frequented roads like that one across from Barstow to Crackerjack and Silver Lake are considerably traveled, although the chances that "tenderfeet" take are appalling. Over the latter road there is a distance of almost 100 miles without water, yet within recent days cars have gone across carrying two passengers, without an extra tire and with only one small canteen of water. Nothing but the kindness of providence ever brings such a journey across that desert in July to a successful termination.
The county's highway department is paying particular attention to the desert during the danger period, and crews have instructions to go instantly if danger of loss of life is reported. Already the department has a record of a number of rescues, and the summer is yet young on the desert.

The Orange county boys returned Friday night from their summer outing at the Y. M. C. A. camp at Catalina and they brought fifteen young goats home with them. The local boys made a record in catching the wily mountain animals this year, twenty being captured during the two weeks' sojourn on the island. Five of these were too large to be easily transported, so they were given their liberty.
Harold Keeney of Santa Ana proved the star performer at catching goats. He had four to his credit, three of which he sold to other boys for nearly enough to pay his expenses to the island.
vision of County Y. M. C. A. Secretary Ralph Cole. The boys spent a lively two weeks on the island without a single accident or case of sickness to mar the pleasure of the occasion.
The boys report this camp to be the best ever. One of the leaders who made the trip with the boys had been to sixteen camps and he declared that this was the most successfully conducted outing he had ever attended.
The return trip Friday was an eventful one. From the camp to Avalon the boys traveled in a glass bottom boat, seeing all the mysteries of the bottom of the sea. From Avalon to San Pedro the Cabrillo carried the boys, and from there the trip was completed in a motor truck, arriving in Santa Ana about 7:30.
