VETS FOLD TENTS AND RETURN TO HOMES NO SLACKERS AMONG THEM AS REGISTRATION IS GREATER THAN LAST YEAR RETIRING COMMANDER HASSON PRESENTED WITH HAND-SOME BADGE All joining hands and so making a great circle throughout the auditorium and up onto the platform, the old soldiers and their wives, members of the Auxiliary, Sons of Veterans and Spanish War Veterans and singing together "God Be With You Till We Meet Again," the Grand Army Encampment of 1917, at Huntington Beach, came to a touching close Friday. Many of those who had been present had already gone to their homes but there were still a considerable number present for the formal installation of officers and closing exercises of the association. When Entertainment Manager Herendeen stepped forward to the front of the platform to make a few announcements and to say that the camp was about to close and that not all who were then present would be living to attend the camp next year a hush fell upon the audience. With Mr. Herendeen leading, the song was sung with a great deal of feeling and the members of the audi- beautiful diamond ring as a token of appreciation of her services by the members of the auxiliary, the presentation being made by Mrs. Mary Dunning. Mrs. Dunning also called Commander Hall to the platform and on behalf of the Ladies Auxiliary presented him with a check for $100 toward the expenses of next year's camp. The total registrations exceeded all expectations, 813 being listed, compared with 809 last year. NEW HOUSING LEGISLATION The three new state laws regulating the construction, occupancy and sanitation of tenement or apartment houses, hotels and private dwellings, which were prepared by the state commission of immigration and housing become effective September 1st, 1917. The commission's housing bureau is busy preparing a state housing manual explaining and amplifying the provisions of the laws by cuts, drawings and annotations. In this manner it is hoped to make the laws as readily understood by the layman as by the professional or technical persons who use them. The bureau is also sending out notices to the mayors, health and building departments of the various cities and towns; also to the district attorneys of the various counties directing their attention to the fact that they are charged with the duty of the enforcement of the laws in their respective cities and counties and urging that they see that the laws are consistently and effectively enforced. The state housing commissions is authorized to enforce the laws anywhere in the state where city or county officials fail, neglect or refuse to do so.

When Entertainment Manager Herendeen stepped forward to the front of the platform to make a few announcements and to say that the camp was about to close and that not all who were then present would be living to attend the camp next year a hush fell upon the audience. With Mr. Herendeen leading, the song was sung with a great deal of feeling and the members of the audience scattered to their tents for the night. In the morning the good byes were said and the camp was deserted. No entertainment program was presented the last evening. The time was fully taken up with the installation of the new officers. Past Commander Heffelfinger acted as installing officer for the offices of the Grand Army while Past President Mrs. Reddick served in the same capacity for the Ladies Auxiliary. Following are the officers installed for the Grand Army: Commander—Tom Hill, Los Angeles. Senior Vice Commander—T.W. Barrett, Glendale. Junior Vice Commander—Tom C. Galbraith, Los Angeles. Surgeon—D. W. Hasson, Buena Park. Chaplain—J. H. Maxwell, Colton. Quartermaster—A. B. Paul, Santa Ana. Adjutant—Bement, Los Angeles. Color Guard—A. H. Thomas, Huntington Beach. Sergeant Major—Clark, Los Angeles. Quartermaster's Sergeant—E. C. Somervale, Los Angeles. Aid-de-Camp—Mackert, Los Angeles. Entertainment Manager—W. E. Herendeen, Los Angeles. Members of Council at Large—E. C. Seymour, Patton; J. W. Van Horn, Los Angeles. Other Members of Council—A. M. Brown, Colton; R. Heffelfinger, Los Angeles; C. N. Wheeler, Riverside; O. T. Bookhout, Fillmore; R. Emerson Gilliland, Riverside; A. V. Cole, Long Beach; William Thompson, San Marcos; O. H. Marryatt, Santa Ana; C. H. Palmer, San Bernardino. When the officers had been installed a handsome Past Commander's badge was presented to the retiring Commander, D. W. Hasson, who spoke feelingly in response, expressing his appreciation of the cooperation which The commission further expects not only to assist the cities and towns in seeing that the laws are uniformly and impartially enforced but also intends to help the cities in organizing and reorganizing their municipal forces so that a uniform and effective program will be instituted to the end that all places where human beings reside are erected and kept up in conformance to the provisions of the new state housing laws. The housing bureau will also assist the cities in preparing and having enacted by their local legislative bodies building, housing, city planning and zoning ordinances; and will act as a clearing house for all questions that may arise pertaining to the subject. Briefly, the provisions of the new state laws fix the minimum size of rooms used for human habitation, provide that they windows opening to the outer air, fixing the minimum size of windows based in ratio to the floor area. Provide for unoccupied spaces, such as yards, courts and a certain percentage of the lot; require that all plumbing be sanitary; fix the minimum number of water closets, slop sinks and similar conveniences, require a given number of stairways fire escapes and other means of egress for use in case of fire, limit the height of buildings according to the materials used in their construction. Absolutely prohibits so called "dark rooms" i.e., rooms without windows opening to the outer air and stringently restricts the erection of so-called "rear tenements" and "rear hotels"; provides for privacy and cleanliness and sanitation of not only the buildings but of the surrounding premises. The unique and original method in which these three laws were prepared is interesting. A year and a half ago the commission completed a very careful investigation of housing conditions throughout the state. This investigation proved the need of prac- summer resorts. The Exchange has thorough study of its phases, obtaining investigations and owners of stands large amount of daily equipment, co-selling expense, and other practical features which has proved motive to motivate the business.

When the officers had been installed a handsome Past Commander's badge was presented to the retiring Commander, D. W. Hasson, who spoke feelingly in response, expressing his appreciation of the cooperation which had been extended to him during the camp and the kindly feeling which had distinguished the camp throughout. He expressed the hope that the same kindly feeling might prevail throughout all succeeding camps, as he believed this feeling to be the greatest element in the success of the camp. The new officers of the Ladies' Auxiliary were installed by Mrs. Reddick, Past Commander, as follows: President—Mrs. Mary McCain Huntington Beach. Senior Vice President—Mrs. Jennie Gilliland, Riverside. Junior Vice President—Mrs. Susie Peck, Tropico. Treasurer—Mrs. Tobey, Los Angeles. Chaplain—Mrs. Josephine Galbraith, Los Angeles.

Mathews, was presented with a unique and original method in which these three laws were prepared is interesting. A year and a half ago the commission completed a very careful investigation of housing conditions throughout the state. This investigation proved the need of practicable and enforceable laws upon the subject. The commission then, with the approval of the governor invited the 14 largest cities in the state to participate in a series of conferences for the purpose of studying and discussing all phases of the housing problem and to draft such legislation as was deemed necessary to solve the problem. Twelve of the cities responded by naming official delegates—some 30 in number—including supervisors, councilmen, city attorneys, health, housing and building commissioners and inspectors. A great number of organizations such as the engineers and architects, city planning and housing associations, chambers of commerce, reality boards, labor and medical organizations and similar bodies joined with the delegates from the cities and the commission in a state housing institute. The institute held four meetings in different parts of the state and carried on an educational program through public addresses and press notices. At these meetings the subject of housing was thoroughly covered. Tentative drafts of the laws prepared by the commission's experts upon the subject were discussed, clause by clause, and as a result the three laws which are soon to become effective were evolved, presented in the legislature and enacted into laws by the legislature. But to the great joy orange juice is a new soft drink business boom.

Experience has established the fact that once the orange juice habit becomes well "planted" in any city, the drink becomes very popular, and new stands quickly spring up to take advantage of the business opportunity. The home of the commercial orange juice merchant is New York City, but stands are springing up at all the important seaside resorts, and taking root in many of the cities along the Atlantic coast. An organized effort has been made this season to popularize orange juice in Los Angeles and the beaches nearby. Three stands are now operating in the downtown section of Los Angeles, and several at the beaches. As yet the possibilities of expansion in this business have scarcely been touched, but through personal work and correspondence it is expected that the orange juice habit can be well established in a number of metropolitan centers from which the idea will readily spread to adjacent cities, amusement parks and summer resorts. The Exchange has been making a thorough study of the business in all its phases, obtaining through original investigations and interviews with owners of stands now in operation, a large amount of data regarding necessary equipment, cost of manufacture, selling expense, and information on other practical features of the business which has proved invaluable in promoting the business to new prospects. The development of the business the condition of tents, and to see that the fumigation laws and rules of the commission are observed. NEW PACKING HOUSE BUILDING AT FULLERTON Bastanchury Ranch Company Putting Up $20,000 Structure Fullerton is to have another new packing house—one of the finest and best equipped in Southern California. The Bastanchury Ranch company has compenced work on a new modern warehouse which will cost $20,000. It will be 80 by 120 feet. Fruit and many other products grown on the great Bastanchury ranch consisting of several thousand acres, will be shipped from the new house. Hollow tile will be used in the construction of the walls and the building is to have what is known as a "saw-tooth" roof; also a large cement basement. The large building will be within the city limits of Fullerton, on the line of the Pacific Electric now building to that place. It will be equipped with the best and most modern machinery to be found in the markets. The station at the new packing house will be named Bastanchury. The building will be erected by day labor under the direction of Frank Benchley. The $20,000 packing house, recently completed by the Placentia Orange association, will also be on the new P. E. line to Fullerton. The Gibbs Lumber company was awarded the contract to supply the lumber. USE WOODEN PILES TO FINISH JOB in possession of the facts, would claim but what the wall, or any of the other parts of the work, has been pushed in the pest possible manner." TO MAKE ESTIMATE OF SIZE OF BEAN CROP Central Association to Consider Handling Other Products Besides Beans W. C. Jerome, director of the California Lima Bean Growers' Association, has received a letter from R. S. Churchill, manager of the association, asking that a careful estimate be made of the lima bean crop of each member of the San Joaquin association. It is expected that this estimate will be made by the secretary, W. J. Cheney. Similar estimates are to be made all over Southern California for the benefit of the association. Churchill would have been here to make the estimate himself, but he has been called to Washington for a conference with Herbert Hoover. Jerome has received notice that at the September meeting of the directors of the central association the proposal of San Fernando growers, including Alex and William Jeffrey, well known in this county, to have the central association handle other beans besides limas will be discussed. HE WANTS TO FIGHT The best pleased man around emption board No. 1 headquarters is Robert A. Bruce of Santa Ana. He is going to get to go, and that is what pleased him. Mrs. Bruce is an English girl, and has no relatives in this section. She has a brother in the English army and another in the French army. Bruce has had military training and The Exchange has been making a thorough study of the business in all its phases, obtaining through original investigations and interviews with owners of stands now in operation, a large amount of data regarding necessary equipment, cost of manufacture, selling expense, and information on other practical features of the business which has proved invaluable in promoting the business to new prospects. The development of the business has heretofore been greatly retarded because of the lack of adequate machinery for rapidly and efficiently extracting the juice from the fruit and only recently have several firms been induced to place a power juice extractor on the market. A San Francisco concern is now marketing a sanitary and efficient reaming machine which will extract the juice of a box of oranges in 26 minutes and that of a box of lemons in 52 minutes. The Exchange is in close touch with the machinery manufacturers and our mutual efforts have been responsible for establishing orange juice ploneers in a number of cities. The orange juice business, though still in its infancy, is even now furnishing an outlet for valencias in some markets, which is of no small consequence. One New York company operating a chain of several stands is reported to have used ten thousand boxes of California oranges and a large quantity of lemons in the manufacture of their drink last season. The use of orange juice in the hotels, dining cars and high class restaurants is already well established, and more and more oranges are going into consumption through these channels every year. Drug stores are featuring it here and there. The health value of orange juice is well recognized by hospitals and the pure juice is in general use in these institutions. Exchange advertising and the sale of 400,000 glass Sunkist extractors, have done much to popularize orange juice in the home. But to the great mass of the people orange juice is a new drink. In states which have recently gone dry the soft drink business has shown a big boom. It is expected that by promoting the establishment of numerous orange juice stands and the general use of juice by soda fountains, its popularity will soon approach that of many of the widely advertised prepared drinks.

USE WOODEN PILES TO FINISH JOB Contractor Kellogg Asks for Change In Specifications on Canyon Road In relation to the recommendation of County Surveyor McBride to the board of supervisors that the contract with H. Clay Kellogg for the construction of a concrete protective wall and road in the Santa Ana canyon, around Sulphur Hill, Kellogg has written a letter to the board of supervisors in which he urges that the contract be not terminated, but that some changes be made in the specifications. Under the specifications concrete piles are to be driven to bed rock. The concrete piles that have been made are not long enough to reach to bed rock at a point where the work has reached. It will take considerable time to make new concrete piles. Rather than risk by flood the loss of what work has been done McBride urges that the county take the job over and protect the work done. Kellogg wants to be allowed to drive wooden piles to bed rock and attach concrete piles to them. The matter has been taken under advisement by the board of supervisors. Kellogg's letter, received by the supervisors, follows: "Gentlemen: Since your meeting on Wednesday, August 8, 1917, I have been much impressed with the fact that two or three points were not clearly presented to you in relation to the recommendation of Mr. McBride for stopping the work at the point where the piles are now driven, which are as follows: 1. It lacks at least 100 feet of being around the point of the hill, which would, if left, very much endanger the road. I suggested to Mr. McBride that it would not be a serious matter to leave off 100 feet at the north end, which is around the curve, and told him that I would consent to that, but I want it distinctly and clearly understood that I do not want to consent to any amendments or abridgements." TAKE HEED OF THE LAW It has fallen to Leo Clever of Fullerton to be the first automobilist of Orange county to be arrested under the new state law that requires that all auto lights be deflected so that the rays do not strike more than 42 inches above the ground at a distance of 75 feet ahead of the car. The arrest was made by Motorcycle Officer Carr. "The new law is going to be strictly enforced," said Deputy District Attorney Koepsel. "Automobile owners have had sufficient warning and opportunity to fix their lights and there is no longer any excuse for any man not having his lights properly adjusted. Arrests will be made when ever a man is found with his lights improperly glaring. Motorcycle officers will be out every night looking for offenders." But to the great mars of the people orange juice is a new drink. In states which have recently gone dry the soft drink business has shown a big boom. It is expected that by promoting the establishment of numerous orange juice stands and the general use of juice by soda fountains, its popularity will soon approach that of many of the widely advertised prepared drinks. District managers in various sections of the country are reporting that orange juice stands are being opened in their territory this year for the first time. A start has been made. Orange juice has an appetite and health appeal which is irresistible, and when buying opportunities are more frequent its popularity is certain. VILLA PARK LEMON MEN WANT NIGHT INSPECTOR Lemon growers of the Villa Park section want an inspector appointed to be on the jub at night. It is presumed that such an inspector could go from orchard to orchard where work is being done, and make tests and inspections that will insure better work by fumigators. At a meeting of the directors of the Central Lemon association, which has its packing house at Villa Park, the following resolution addressed to the board of supervisors was passed and sent to the county board by Manager C. H. Jeffrey. "Resolved, that it is to the best interest of the growers of this district to have more rigid inspection of fumigation. We therefore respectfully ask your honorable board to instruct the horticultural commissioner to appoint a man that is qualified to fill the position of night inspector to test the strength of the cyanide solution used, "1. It lacks at least 100 feet of being around the point of the hill, which would, if left, very much endanger the road. I suggested to Mr. McBride that it would not be a serious matter to leave off 100 feet at the north end, which is around the curve, and told him that I would consent to that, but I want it distinctly and clearly understood that I do not want to consent to any amendments or abridgements of my contract that would in any way jeopardize the structure as a whole. 2. I want to call your attention to the fact that I have excavated at great expense, for the anchor piles and walling, and have driven said anchor piles entirely to the end. If the work is not completed, this entire expense would be lost and it would seem to me to be unwise to abandon it when it is obvious that it can be utilized to good advantage in protecting said work; even if you did not carry the wall entirely to the end—admitting that you do not agree with me that the wooden piles under the water line are equally as good as the concrete. 3. Should my recommendation be adopted, the work can easily be finished in thirty days. I therefore urge that this delay be terminated as soon as possible, and call your attention to the fact that we have now lost two weeks by the moving of the driver forward and back on the advice of the inspector, which proved to be unnecessary, to say nothing of the time that was lost from other like causes. I am now at a place where I can finish the work very speedily if allowed to proceed. In conclusion, I want to impress upon you the fact that my other work has been laid off at three different times for two weeks at a time to wait on this pile driver, and I do not believe that you or anyone else, when PULMOTOR SAVES LA HABRA GIRL'S LIFE Miss Myrtle Leutwiler of La Habra, aged 18 years, had a narrow escape from drowning in the surf below Anaheim landing Tuesday afternoon. She was unconscious when brought from the water by R. D. Moore of Long Beach, and the spark of life was restored only by use of a pulmotor. Miss Leutwiler came to Anaheim Landing with her father and her uncle, to spend the day. They were bathing in the surf below the landing bridge when the young lady got beyond her depth. Moore went out to her aid, but there was not a breath of life in the body when he reached it. Life Guard Davis at the Seal Beach bath house and Marshal Neuschwangler were summoned and the first thing the marshal did was to telephone the Long Beach police department for the pulmotor. To this fact Miss Leutwiller owes her life, for although everything possible had been done, she did not revive until the pulmotor was applied. NEW DISTRICT EXCHANGE Fullerton has been selected as headquarters for the newly formed sub-exchange, which will be known as the Northern Orange County Fruit Exchange. The new organization will be affiliated with the California Fruit Growers Exchange and will have a representative on the board of directors. Dale R. King, district manager of the California Fruit Growers Exchange at San Francisco has been selected to manage the new sub-exchange and will take up his new duties at once. The output is expected to be approximately 3000 cars annually. IN ANYTHING YOU COOK requiring milk you'll get much better results if you use ours.

Modjeska, grandson of Madame Modjeska who resided for several years in Orange county and on her ranch in Santiago Canyon above the county park. reached regarding the custody of their children, Ralph and Felix, Jr. There have been sensational stories regarding the alleged romance of Felix Modjeska, grandson and heir of Madame Helena Modjeska, the famous Polish actress, and Dorothy Dorpols, a Chicago dancer, whose husband, Frank Dorpols, was said to have given her to Felix. The couple came to California last June and lived at the Modjeska beach home in East Newport for some time. She said she was visiting Mr. and Mrs. Felix Modjeska, but this was denied by Mrs. Modjeska, who asserted that Mrs. Dorpols was visiting Felix and had never been a guest at her home. At the time a divorce seemed imminent, and Mr. Modjeska, in a most frank interview, stated that if his wife refused to allow him to have their four-year-old son, Ralph, he would sue for divorce and would name a handsome motion-picture man as correspondent. He claimed that his wife's alleged preference for this actor was the real cause for their trouble, and that when he returned from Chicago he was treated like a guest, and to emphasize his position he was given the guest chamber.
