ANAHEIM EXPECTS TO WIN THE TRACK MEET While Others are Boasting Our Athletes Are Sawing Wood Ralph Goodale athletic manager of the Anaheim Union High School, gives out this dope relative to the track meet at Fullerton Saturday: Anaheim is looking forward to winning the county track meet this year. We have one man who is tearing off the 220 hurdles in surprisingly quick time. He is a true blackhorse, so to speak, and without doubt there is no man in the county who can touch him. He is in fine condition now and improving every day. In the 120 high hurdles we also have a runner who is seeing his first year on our track. He has come within 1-5 of a second of tieing the county record, in practice, and by the 23rd of this month he will be able to break the record. In the javelin we have a freshman who has heaved it 136 feet. On account of the rains he has had no time to practice, but the rest will do him good and he will soon have the stick out in the field again. One of our greatest strongholds is in the shot put. Our great giant Betz-sold has been playing catch with the 12 pound shot, and in the mean time has devoted some of his time to heaving it. He has not succeeded in casting the leaden pillet beyond the distance of 41 feet 7 inches; but he thinks that with a little serious practice he can reach the mark of 43 feet by the time of the big meet. In the 50-yard dash, we have two sprinters of marked ability. They are showing up well, and although they have not broken the county record yet, they will be able to tie it by the 23rd. Dalton, the Arizona jack rabbit, who took a place in the county meet last second with 46 1-3. This year Santa Ana and Fullerton will finish close. The winner should not lead by more than 5 to 8 points. Huntington Beach looks good for third place with Anaheim and Orange trailing. The usual surprises may be expected but indications point to something of the above being the result all due respect of course being shown to the measley condition that prevails. CLOCKS TO BE SET AHEAD Clocks all over the country will be set ahead one hour, beginning March 31, under the so-called daylight saving bill passed by the house Saturday, 252 to 40. The bill provides that at 2 o'clock p.m. on the last Sunday in March each year, clocks all over the country which affect any operations of the federal government or railroads shall be set ahead one hour. At 2 o'clock p.m., on the last Sunday in October of each year, they are to be retarded one hour. All business relating in any way to the federal government will be conducted on the time set. Further inducement for its use by every one is given in designating the times in the various zoes as United States standard central time, etc. Inasmuch as commercial and labor organizations the country over have petitioned for the bill, congress expects a general agreement with the law everywhere. The five zones are to be fixed by order of the interstate commerce commission, but it is directed in the bill to "have due regard" for present railroad classifications. The unofficial understanding is that no important change is to be made in present arrangements. There will be eastern, central, mountain, Pacific and Alaskan time.

Dalton, the Arizona jack rabbit, who took a place in the county meet last year, has developed wonderfully in the past year and is ready to challenge anyone in the mile and half-mile. He was young last season, but this season he is second to none. In the field events we have several under classmen who are young but are capable of pushing the upper classmen of any school. Without doubt we have the discus, high jump and broad jump cinched for a second place in each. In the relay we will admit that we do not expect to win first place, because all of our men are stars, in their own events, and as we have a few stars in the sprints, we do not have enough to make a winning relay team; but we feel confident that with the first places these stars will win in the other events, we shall have little difficulty in walking away with the meet. There is a saying that goes, "It is better to do a few things well than to do several things half well." That is our policy. We have a few experts in their own events and they are going to win the meet for un. As to Fullerton And now comes L. O. Culp, formerly of Anaheim, but now coach of Fullerton high school, who expresses his opinion as follows: Regarding the county track and field meet to be held on Fullerton field on Saturday, wish to say that just at present there is little hope in sight as measles, mumps, and now a report of whooping cough, make the showing of young hopefuls at Fullerton mighty small. Just at present Munger, Dowling and Goodwin, the pole vaulting trio are at home with the measles, and more are in line for the quarantine. As we see it, barring of course the possibilities of our team all being on the shelf, Fullerton has a mere chance. Our team is medicore. Hawkins will possibly do something toward giving Raney a race, but in the 400 he should show the class. Dean seems a law everywhere. The five zones are to be fixed by order of the interstate commerce commission, but it is directed in the bill to "have due regard" for present railroad classifications. The unofficial understanding is that no important change is to be made in present arrangements. There will be eastern, central, mountain, Pacific and Alaskan time. GIRL WHIPPED MAN WITH HER BARE FISTS Court Decides Miss Derkum Did Not Use a Rock Monday afternoon the jury that tried Miss Josephine Derkum of Laguna Beach on a charge of battery upon Albert H. Johnston, also of the beach city, brought in a verdict of not guilty. Miss Derkum was tried upon a charge of battery. Johnston said she hit him on the head with a rock. Johnston said the young woman hit him with a rock. She said she hit him twice, each time with her fist. Attorney Rutan, for Miss Derkum, contends that Johnston had to admit that he was whipped in a fist fight with a girl, and that is the reason the rock came into evidence. However that may be, the fact remains that Johnston is the only one who said a rock was used in tre fracas. "Two horses that belong to Miss Derkum caused the trouble. They were staked at Laguna Beach on land owned by H. G. Heisler, who said he had never told Johnston to keep the horses off the property. Johnston had told him the ohrses were a nuisance, and had asked permission to run them off, but Heisler said he would investigate. Before Heisler decided on the eventful day in question, Jhnston was leading the horses away when along came Miss Derkum. She told him to leave the horses alone. So far the stories agree. From there on there is a rock in the way of an agreement on the testimony. Jhnston said that Miss Derkum picked up a rock bigger than his two lists—the rock was in evidence in court—and slammed it against the side of his head, cutting a slight gash beneath his hat. "He was leading my horses away," said Miss Derkum, "and I told him to stop. He swelled up, and said he had authority to take them away. I told him to leave the horses alone, and he told me to shut my mouth, and at Creel, of the commer handbooks have made by other agents their end, for this won by an establishment by an officialthe lightened opinion The facts of history only arsenal to need resort in or cause.

Just at present Munger, Dowling and Goodwin, the pole vaulting trio are at home with the measles, and more are in line for the quarantine. As we see it, barring of course the possibilities of our team all being on the shelf, Fullerton has a mere chance. Our team is medicore. Hawkins will possibly do something toward giving Raney a race, but in the 400 he should show the class. Dean seems a certainty in the other distance races, while in the pole vault and javelin, Munger and Stogadill respectively, have a chance at firsts. Outside of these men, Fullerton must rely entirely upon other points than those for first, with which to cop the meet. There are enough of these points lying around that we can count to make it possible for us to win, though our chances are not at all flattering. The meet should be something of a dual affair between Santa Ana and Fullerton, with Santa Ana the favorite. Both teams have well balanced track squads and poor field performers. Huntington Beach should score more points this year than she has for many years past. In Moore, Jumper and a few others she has the making of a strong field team, while Cady classes among the best of them in the 440. This race will be the feature of the day with such men as Cady of Huntington Beach, Horton of Santa Ana, Hawkins, Garer, McClellan and Travis of Fullerton, Durbin of Orange and Stock of Anaheim in the going. All are good for 54 flat and a county record bids fair to go by the boards. By close calculations Fullerton can see something over 60 points coming her way. Last year she won with 62 2-3 to her credit. Santa Ana was Jahnston said that Miss Derkum picked up a rock bigger than his two lists—the rock was in evidence in court—and slammed it against the side of his head, cutting a slight gash beneath his hat. "He was leading my horses away," said Miss Derkum, "and I told him to stop. He swelled up, and said he had authority to take them away. I told him to leave the horses alone, and he told me to shut my mouth, and at the same instant he took a slap at me. He knocked off the breakfast cap I was wearing, and in dodging I slipped down on the ground." Evidently Miss Derkum got up fighting. But let her tell the story as she told it to the jury and Justice Cox: "I jumped up and gave him a swift uppercut on the jaw," said she, "and then as his head kind of fell over to one side I hit him as hard as I could on the side of the head with my fist. I didn't have any rock." Guy Skidmore from a distance saw the affair. He saw Miss Derkum slip and fall. He saw her jump up and saw her fly at Johnston with her fists. He did not see her use any rock. J. W. Skidmore and Walter R. Brooks, called by the defense, testified that after the fracas they saw Miss Derkum's knickles, and those knuckles were barked and swollen. "If the knuckles were not barked against Johnston's head, how were they barked?" asked Attorney Rutan. Deputy District Attorney Menton represented the prosecution. In rebuttal he put on Justice Philbrook of Laguna Beach as a witness to a conversation he had with Miss Derkum in which he told her she had no right to stake horses on private property without permission of the owner of the property.

WAR CYCLOPEDIA ISSUED BY THE GOVERNMENT Pertinent Facts of the War Concisely And Authoritatively Stated A War Clopedia is the latest special war publication of the government issued through the committee on public information. It is a handbook for ready reference on the great war, and contains in som 300 pages a great mass of information simply arranged and clearly stated. It is issued in response to an insistent demand from many students, writers clergymen, lawyers, business men and the public at large for authentic statements of the outstanding facts concerning the war in alphabetical arrangement. The War Cyclopedia was edited by Frederick L. Paxton, University of Wisconsin; Edwin S. Corwin, Princeton University, and Samuel B. Hardin, Indiana University, the editors drawing freely upon the time and the patriotic good will of a large number of special writers from all parts of the country. Because of its special value and the high cost of printing a small price of 25 cents a copy has been fixed by the Government to cover the cost of production and distribution. It may be obtained from the committee on public information, 10' Jackson Place, Washington, D. C. In a foreword Chairman George Creel, of the committee, says: "Other handbooks have been and will be made by other agencies; all will serve their end, for this war is not to be won by an established doctrine nor by an official theory, but by an enlightened opinion based on the truth. The facts of history and life are the only arsenal to which Americans need resort in order to defend their cause. The deeper their study, the firmer becomes their conviction. The War Cyclopedia represents an effort trade board, war risk insurance bureau, Red Cross, council of national defense, food administration, etc., are comprehensively explained. There is also a wealth of information of value to students of military affairs concerning the army and navy and all their ramifying branches of service. The editors have made easily accessible the outstanding facts concerning German frightfulness in the reports of leading episodes of the war, such as the invasion of Belgium, the Lusitania destruction, the submarine campaign against neutrals, and similar incidents. "Pillu," the word used affectionately by the French to designate their soldiers in the present war, is shown to have originated from the French word "poll," meaning hair. It is supposed that the term Pallu came to be applied to French soldiers because they were in the trenches and did not shave, as the British soldiers did. "Bolsheviks" is shown to be a Russian word meaning "belonging to the majority." The Bolsheviks were originally the left or radical wing of the Russian Socialist democratic party. In 1905, at the time when the split in the party occurred, the Radicals, led by Lenine were in the majority, and hence called themselves Bolsheviks. An abbreviated history of the Russian revolution, from the overthrow of the Czar, through the Kerensky regime, and the Bolshevik control, to the opening of separate peace negotiations with Germany is contained in the Cyclopedia. Added to the alphabetical arrangement of general war facts, there is presented a chronology of the principal events of the war, from June 28, 1914 when the Archduke Francis Ferdinand was murdered at Serajevo, to December 29, 1917, when the British National Labor conference approved the continuation of the war for alms similar to those defined by President Wilson. The War Cyclopedia presents a mapministration as neither a minimum nor a maximum, but as constituting a fair price for the commodities named, are now in effect: Potatoes—Fancy Highlands, 100 lbs. wholesale, $1.61-$1.75; retail 2-2¼c. per lb.; fancy locals, 100 lbs., wholesale, $1.65-$175; retail, 2-2¼c. per lb; choice Highlands, wholesale, $1.15-$1.35; retail, 1½-1¾c. per lb. Onions—Fancy Brows, 100 lbs. wholesale, $1.25-$1.35; retail, 1¾-2c lb. Flour—First family, 49 lbs., wholesale, $2.75; retail, $3; 24½ lbs. whole- Creel, of the committee, says: "Other handbooks have been and will be made by other agencies; all will serve their end, for this war is not to be won by an established doctrine nor by an official theory, but by an enlightened opinion based on the truth. The facts of history and life are the only arsenal to which Americans need resort in order to defend their cause. The deeper their study, the firmer becomes their conviction. The War Cyclopedia represents an effort to arrange in simple form the facts most needed." Articles on persons have been left out except as the editors have deemed biographical notes to be absolutely indispensable; knowledge of American public men in particular has been assumed. An indication of the character and the wide range of the information provided may be had from the following citation made at random through the alphabetical arrangement: Under the title of Alsace Lorraine something of the history and the character of that province now in world dispute is given, and Prof. Otfried Nippold, a German scholar formerly in the diplomatic service but now of Berne, is quoted as saying: "When one looks back into the history of Europe during the last forty years, it seems inconceivable that anyone can be unwilling to admit that the annexation of Alsace-Lorraine was a political mistake," and that "the Germans have shown themselves incompetent in their government of the people of Alsace-Lorraine." In connection with Alsace-Lorraine the Cyclopedia refers the reader to the Zabern Affair. This is explained under its proper classification as opressive acts on the part of the German garrison officers at Saverne (German Zabern, a town in Alsace) against the native population. It culminated in the wounding of a lame cobbler by a young lieutenant named Forstner, because of "contemptuous cries," though the Mayor of the town asserted that it was only children who had jeered the officer. Forstner's unpopularity had arisen from an overzealous espousal of his superior officer's contempt for the civilian population and his instructions to his command that if they stabbed an Alsatian who insulted them they would not only go unpunished, but receive a reward. A great hue and cry followed the wounding of the lame cobbler and the matter reached the Reichstag, Added to the alphabetical arrangement of general war facts, there is presented a chronology of the principal events of the war, from June 28, 1914 when the Archduke Francis Ferdinand was murdered at Serajevo, to December 29, 1917, when the Brillish National Labor conference approved the continuation of the war for alms similar to those defined by President Wilson. The War Cyclopedia presents a map in colors under the caption "Why Germany wants peace now." The map delineates the Pan-German plan as realized by the war in Europe and in Asia. The Central Powers have a population of about 146,500,000. The occupied territory in Belgium, Northern France, Poland, Lithuania, Roumania, Serbia, Montenegro and Courland, possesses a population of 40,500,000. Hence Germany today controls lands in which live 187,000,000 people. The map makes clear the German plans and conquests. BUY COAL NOW Albert E. Schwabacher, federal fuel administrator for California, recommends and encourages the purchase and storage of coal and coke for necessary domestic requirement as early as possible, in order, first to insure the delivery of coal and coke for this purpose, and second, to assist the transportation companies by effecting delivery of as much coal and coke as possible before next winter. Every consumer is urged on or before April 1, 1918, to place with his regular dealer his order for his reasonable normal requirements for the year ending March 31, 1919, and take immediate delivery, storing it for next winter. New customers who are unable to have their orders accepted by a dealer should apply to the local member of the fuel administration committee, who will see that their requirements receive attention from the proper dealer. Carload or barge load lots will not be delivered to a single domestic consumer or to a group of consumers except wit hthe permission of the local member 'of the fuel administration committee. Until further notice no domestic consumer of coal or coke may purchase, receive or otherwise take possession of more coal or coke than is required for his actual aid necessary requirements prior to March 31, 1919. SAYS PROFITS ARE LOW Business of the American Sugar Refining company, having head offices in Wall street, New York, during the past year amounted to $200,000,000, says the annual report, just issued. The profits amounted to $10,000,000, which it is said represents a net return for below that which ordinarily prevails in a manufacturing business. Some idea of the increase in competition is gained from figures which show that the company in 18r4 supplied three fourths of the sugar consumed in the United States, and that it now supplies less than one third. There are now twenty two cane sugar refineries in this country, and the American Sugar Refining Company owns but six of them, while the United States has 97 beet sugar factories and these supply one fourth of the sugar consumed here. The total of sugar exportations in 1917 was 451,000 tons, which was 250,000 tons less than the exportation during the year 1916. Nearly all of the exported sugar during the past two years has gone to the Allies. This country has a capacity for refining 1,000,000 tons of sugar more than has been produced in any recent year, the company's report says. It is the claim of the company that the cost of making sugar has greatly deflated but has though the Mayor of the town asserted that it was only children who had jeered the officer. Forstner's unpopularity had arisen from an overzealous espousal of his superior officer's contempt for the civilian population and his instructions to his command that if they stabbed an Alsatian who insulted them they would not only go unpunished, but receive a reward. A great hue and cry followed the wounding of the lame cobbler and the matter reached the Reichstag, where a vote of censure was passed; but while Forstner was sentenced by court martial to detention for a short period, he was soon afterward promoted, thus receiving the promised reward. The term "Boche" now so commonly appearing in American newspaper dispatches as a familiar designation of the Germans is shown to have originated before the war in Paris. The German assistants of Paris printers were so desiganted. The term "Boche" was probably also used in the Franco-Prussian War in 1870, for Zola, in his novel "La Debacle," but the term in the mouths of French soldiers to designate Germans. The term "ce boche" was used, before the Franco-Jrussian War at least, as equivalent to "that chump." "Tete de boche" is the French slang for wooden pate or blockhead. The War Cyclopedia gives a remarkably succinct and comprehensive story of the execution of Edith Cavell. All of the great war measures in the United States, such as the Esplonage act, the various acts concerning alien enemies, the selective service draft, the voluntary censorship of the press, etc., and all of the institutions that have been created to carry on the activities of the war, such as the war Carload or barge load lots will not be delivered to a single domestic consumer or to a group of consumers except wit hthe permission of the local member of the fuel administration committee. Until further notice no domestic consumer of coal or coke may purchase, receive or otherwise take possession of, more coal or coke than is required for his actual aid necessary requirements prior to March 31, 1919.
