Really pretty dresses for girls from 6 to 16 years have been hard to get. The S. Q. R. Store Local Notes Supervisor T. B. Talbert, proprietor of the Huntington Beach tinoleum factory, has been granted a patent on a new process of making oil cloth. The method is now in use in the plant. The annual suit of Otis Burch for a return of taxes paid under protest, will be heard on May 14. Birch asked for a change of venue, charging that Judge Williams was prejudiced against him. J. L. Adkins, now employed in Anaheim by the Model Laundry of Santa Ana, and former driver for the Anaheim Laundry, has not violated the terms of an injunction restraining him from soliciting trade from his former customers, and is therefore not guilty of contempt of court as charged by the Anaheim Laundry. This in effect is the result of a court hearing of the charges of the Anaheim Laundry that Adkins had been guilty of contempt. The action was dismissed on the grounds that there was no evidence to substantiate the claims. Adkins was in court with his attorney, Clyde Bishop, and testified that he had accepted business for the Model Laundry from people who were his customers formerly when he was an employee of the Anaheim Laundry. He testified however, that he had not solicited this business, and that the orders had come to him by telephone, by personal calls, and by written notes. Mrs. Mabel Hamler is visiting friends at Colfax, expecting to be gone several months. Fred Schneider and family came down from Hamilton City and are spending the week visiting friends. They made the trip down by auto. Fred is now engaged in raising grain on his Glenn county farm. The city will soon extend the 10-inch water main on Santa Ana street north to Olive street, the purpose being to relieve the peak load on the single 10-inch main now in use from the power house to the intersection of Santa Ana and South Los Anegeles streets, from which point the domestic water supply diverges into smaller mains and is then distributed to all parts of the city. By extending the large main to a point easterly the supply of water will be augmented in that area, and from the terminal at South Olive street it will be sent in smaller mains to the various parts of the city. The object gained is two fold, giving better pressure to consumers while the new 10-inch main will relieve the strain upon the big single feeder now used, and thereby insuring more security to that indispensable water outlet. A Huntington Beach rancher has sold 17 fat hogs to a local beef company for $17.50 per 100 pounds. The hogs were a fine lot of stock, having been fed on corn and lima beans. The beans were the ones rejected at the warehouse during the process of hand picking, and were free from dirt, and were cooked before being fed to the swine. This price for live hogs indicates why pork chops come high. The Southern California Edison company has applied to the Railroad Commission for authority to sell to its employees 2500 shares of the stock issue of which was authorized by the commission in October, 1917. One block of 2500 shares has already been sold to the company's employees and the public has taken 9,311 shares of the 25,000 shares that the commission stipulated should be sold at not less than 88.

Ethan Allen died at the home of his son, W. B. Allen, Monday morning at the advanced age of 92. He has been a resident of Anaheim for the past six years. He leaves a widow, son and daughter, and several grandchildren. Funeral services were held at Backs & Terry's Tuesday afternoon, Rev. J. F. Humphreys of Santa Ana conducting the services. Interment was at Long Beach. Frank Davis was visiting friends in Los Angeles Saturday and Sunday. The remnant of the William Leslie Racket Store was loaded on trucks Monday and taken to Los Angeles.

The Farm Bureau picnic at Orange county park Saturday was attended by bonds and the telephone situation were ever held at the park. The harbor 2500 people, one of the largest picnics discussed at the business session. One of the most interesting numbers of the entertainment program was an address by Capt. Delbert Brunton, who described some of the incidents in the great war. Earl Steadman writes his parents, Mr. and Mrs. N. F. Steadman, from Brest, France, saying that he has been promoted to corporal of his squad. Earl sees all the departing transports from Breast loaded with American troops bound for home, and indulges the hope that he may soon be leaving France. With him in his company are Pete Wisser, Lou Winney, and a number of other Orange county lads, all of whom are anxious to set sail for the United States. With each departing transport the boys all wonder whether their turn will come next. A man from Yorba Linda, driving a Ford, crashed into Dr. Truxaw's Buick, while the latter machine was parked in front of the doctor's office on East Center street, Sunday afternoon. The force of impact drove the big Buick up on the sidewalk, and nearly sending it into the plate glass front of the Golden State Bank. The Ford was badly damaged, while the other car was damaged slightly. The Yorba Lindan had just bought his car, this being his third attempt to drive it. Onlookers aver the man lost control of his machine for some reason and come head on into the other near the sidewalk curb. Anaheim Gazette, per year, $1.50, payable in advance. BATTLE TROPHIES ARE VIEWED BY MULTITUDE VICTORY LOAN TRAIN MAKES THREE HOUR STOP HERE AND HUNDREDS SEE RELICS Interesting Talks Descriptive of the War Made by Men Who Participated in the Carnage.—Thrilling Stories Told by Wounded Men. Tanks, battle planes, minenwerfers, Lewis guns, trench mortars, rifles, dead Huns and other paraphernalia and relics of the war, are familiar names to those who read the papers, but it was not until the war trophy train rolled into Anaheim at 10:30 o'clock Tuesday morning that the people of this section had an opportunity to see them. In addition to the battle-scarred trophies there were a number of battle-scarred soldiers and marines who related some hair-raising stories of the war and plead with the people to subscribe to the Victory Loan and help the government wipe out the last of the war's indebtedness. One of the most interesting object was the German plane. This machine was brought down in a battle with an American machine in the Argonne forest during that desperate struggle. It was not seriously damaged by the fall but showed that it was badly mauled in the fight preceding the fall. SUBSCRIPTIONS ARE SLOW IN VICTORY LOAN Anaheim is Still Ninety Thousand Dollars Short of its Quota. The hopes of the Victory Loan workers that Anaheim's quota would be subscribed without personal solicitation have gone glimmering, and Chairman McCord issued a call the first of the week for his captains and lieutenants and prepared for action. Only $195,000 had been subscribed last night leaving nearly $90,000 to be raised in three days. Only one half of the people who subscribed for the Fourth Liberty Loan responded to the appeal of the banks. Considering the wealth of this community and the patriotism of its people it is strange that they do not realize their obligation to the government to the city and to the 275 Anaheim boys who went to war, but many of them, who are amply able to buy bonds appear to be indifferent now that the excitement is over and the danger is past. If you haven't yet subscribed, do it now. If you have already subscribed, buy some more. Don't be a quitter and let George do it. Do your part, and in future years you will never have cause to look backward and regret that you failed to respond when duty called. Anaheim will make good as she has in all former demands for money as well as men. Will you be one of those who helped. The people are being listed on two rolls, and one is a roll of honor. That's where every loyal citizen wants to see his name. WILLIAM OLIVER ESCAPES FROM NORWALK Broke Out of County Hospital Several Personal Mention M. W. Williams of Artesia was a business visitor in town Monday, being on his way to see his son Jim Williams up on his ranch in Carbon Canyon. Mr. Williams is a Pioneer resident of this section and has many friends here who are always glad to see him. Wearing three pairs of trousers, two coats, and an overcoat, a man giving his name as W. E. Deprich was taken into custody by Orange city officers Wednesday night. He had gone to the home of Rev. T. W. Oran, asked for something to eat, and while it was being prepared he took $1.25 from his own pockets and placed the money on a corner shelf. The man said he had suffered a sunstroke while in the San Joaquin Valley last year, and this, it is thought, might have affected his mind. Since Monday of last week the Wickersheim Implement Company of Fullerton have delivered new Ford touring cars to W. C. Sterrett of Fullerton, Frank Apalategui, Mrs. J. G. Stup and Ezra Stanley of Yorba Linda, and new Ford roadsters to F. M. Smith, Southern Counties Gas Company and L. R. Wiley; a new Ford truck and new Ford touring to the Placentia Mutual Orange Growers' Association, 1915 Humpmobile to P. R. des Granges, 1913 Oakland to Leonard Moudy and used Fords to Louis Daniel, Anaheim, Albert K. Hansfield and Wayne W. Watkins of Fullerton, also new Ford one-ton truck to Victor Hualde of Fullerton, one U. S. 3½-ton truck to F. L. & H. E. Sexton, Norwalk, Calif. Charles Carroll, who owns a residence on Fourteenth street, says the Seal Beach Wave, would not occupy it because the old barn was adjacent to who related some hair-raising stories of the war and plead with the people to subscribe to the Victory Loan and help the government wipe out the last of the war's indebtedness. One of the most interesting object was the German plane. This machine was brought down in a battle with an American machine in the Argonne forest during that desperate struggle. It was not seriously damaged by the fall but showed that it was badly mauled in the fight preceding the fall. Its anatomy was pierced with several holes, a machine gun bullet through its gas tank having proved its death wound. It carried a 250 horse power engine, and was capable of flying at the rate of 130 miles an hour. A big American tank, one of those hard-shell ships on wheels that were in the habit of waddling into the Hun lines and never returning until the enemy died, surrendered or skedaddled accompanied the train. It was in charge of the crew of three men who manned it in the war, who explained its workings and maneuvered in the street, showing how easily it could be managed. This is a small tank in comparison with the big English machines that were first introduced to the Hun. Five bosche soldiers were also on display, and although objects of great curiosity they were not very popular. The figures were of wax, exact reproductions of Hun prisoners captured by the Sammies. They were completely dressed in the Hun uniform with all accoutrements, and looked so life-like that many uncomplimentary remarks were made to them. The train was in charge of the Victory Loan committee of Southern California, and they had with them a marine band an da number of battle-scarred soldiers who passed through the four years of hell in France and Belgium. The stories these heroes told were full of thrills, although none of them boasted of his own achievements. Sergt. Page was the first to talk, and he gave a short description of the great victory of the American marines at Chateau Thierry, the first action in which the Americans flought alone, and was the turning point of the war. Sergt. Smith, a Canadian, was one of the speakers and thrilled the audience with his stories of shot and shell, gas and carnage. He was one of the heroic corps of 14,000 Canadians who held the line at Ypres for many days, only two thousand of them being alive Anaheim will make good as she has in all former demands for money as well as men. Will you be one of those who helped. The people are being listed on two rolls, and one is a roll of honor. That's where every loyal citizen wants to see his name. WILLIAM OLIVER ESCAPES FROM NORWALK Broke Out of County Hospital Several Months Ago, and Recaptured on Smith Mountain. William Oliver, who was some time ago committed to the Norwalk insane asylum, escaped from that institution on Tuesday night, and is now at large. He was attired only in his undershirt and pajamas, and is clean shaven, although formerly he wore a beard. Oliver was arrested several months ago charged with murder of Joe Morales at Anaheim Landing. He was transferred from the county jail to the county hospital for examination as to his lunacy. He escaped therefrom several months ago, and after being at large for about two weeks, was re-arrested on Smith Mountain in San Diego county where he was chopping wood. He was brought back to the Norwalk insane asylum, from which place he escaped on Tuesday night. Fred Lauterbach and Miss Etta Schumacher were married Friday, Rev. C. B. Hatch performing the ceremony. The bride is the daughter of Mrs. Maddie Schumacher of North Claudina street, and the groom is one of Anaheim's progressive business men. The wedding was something of a surprise to the numerous friends of the young couple, who were not taken into their confidence. Edwin Miller, Earl Criss and Alfred Bittner reached home Friday, having been discharged from the army at the Presidio. These boys saw hard service in France, but all managed to dodge the Hun missiles of death and return home sound and whole. As a pleasure resort they have no use for France. Mrs. Laura Edie was granted a divorce in a Los Angeles court from Frank D. Edie of this city Saturday. Mrs. Edie charged that her husband caused her much mental distress by occasionally using profane words in her presence. Her husband filed a mobile to P. R. des Granges, 1913 Oakland to Leonard Moudy and used Fords to Louis Daniel, Anaheim, Albert K. Hansfield and Wayne W. Watkins of Fullerton, also new Ford one-ton truck to Victor Hualde of Fullerton, one U. S. 3½-ton truck to F. L. & H. E. Sexton, Norwalk, Calif. Charles Carroll, who owns a residence on Fourteenth street, says the Seal Beach Wave, would not occupy it because the old barn was adjacent to his property. During the war he was in the limited service at Vancouver. Recently, after his discharge, he came to Seal Beach to look after his property, and lo and behold he found that the old barn, that had been as a thorn in his flesh, was gone; moved over onto the other side of the block and a nice residence made of it. Carroll decided to come back here and live in his own home and he is now occupying it with his sister, Mrs. Wallace, and two small sons. Mr. Wallace recently died of influenza. Elden I. Dodson, in jail for marrying Miss Fern Ramella of Anaheim when he already had a wife living at Bakersfield, appeared in superior court Friday morning and withdrew his plea of not guilty. Then he pleaded guilty to the charge of bigamy and through his attorney, Clyde Bishop, applied for probation. May 7 at 10 a.m. was set as time for hearing of the application.

Hammer of Chapman avenue Fullerton, a driller employed at the Chapman well, was killed on Tuesday just before noon by an explosion at the well. Hammer was engaged in cleaning out the sand, the well having sanded up. While thus engaged a gas pocket was struck and Hammer was hurled about thirty feet in the air. His skull was crushed. He was rushed to the Fullerton hospital but died on the way. Hammer was married and leaves a family. Dr. W. W. Adams has returned from Seattle and other points north, after Sergt. Page was the first to talk, and he gave a short description of the great victory of the American marines at Chateau Thierry, the first action in which the Americans flought alone, and was the turning point of the war. Sergt. Smith, a Canadian, was one of the speakers and thrilled the audience with his stories of shot and shell gas and carnage. He was one of the heroic corps of 14,000 Canadians who held the line at Ypres for many days, only two thousand of them being alive and uninjured when relief came. Smith gives North America credit for winning the war. He said a live Hun never got through the American or Canadian line unless he was taken through as a prisoner, and that no American or Canadian force failed to take an objective or hold a position when ordered to do so. Corporal Case of the Salvation army force, made a five-minute talk on the part the doughnut girls played in the conflict, and paid a high tribute to the American soldiers. Case was at the front throughout the war, and is suffering from a wound in the throat. Sergt. Lydecker, whose name was on the program, is not an orator, but he has a splendid voice for worbling, and entertained the crowd with a couple of catchy songs. The high school cadets, male and female, the boys under command of Major Malcolm and the girls lead by Prof. Prince, marched to the train and cheered the speakers vociferously. P. Gildea has sold his seven-acre ranch on North street to Robert Quarron, the consideration being $11,000. Mr. Gildea and family will move to Long Beach. Mrs. Laura Edie was granted a divorce in a Los Angeles court from Frank D. Edie of this city Saturday. Mrs. Edie charged that her husband caused her much mental distress by occasionally using profane words in her presence. Her husband filed a counter charge claiming that his wife was extravagant, and pointed to a $14 hat she was wearing as evidence. Dr. E. Lamhofer was in town from his ranch on Orangethorpe Monday. The doctor's son is still with the army in France, but longing for the day when he will start home. He declares that should the boys of his acquaintance be given the privilege of putting up for six months without charge at the best hotel in Paris or coming home, they would choose the trip home to a man. Chillie Fisher opened the doors of the Anaheim bowling alleys and pool room in the basement of the Cassou building Saturday. Chillie is making arrangements for a number of match games on the alleys, and expects to make it the most popular sporting place in the county. He has a commodious room, good tables and splendid alleys. Another bowling league is being organized with the Anaheim team in it, and some high class games can be expected by the fans. W. F. Kennedy as reached the Presidio on his return trip from France and has notified his dad that he will be well. Hammer was engaged in cleaning out the sand, the well having sanded up.

Hammer was married and leaves a family. Dr. W. W. Adams has returned from Seattle and other points north, after an absence of two months. Orlando A. Corona and Miss Ophelia Daniels were united in marriage by Justice of the Peace Howard Monday.

Eighteen per cent of the “coming citizens” of the United States do not attend any school. One-tenth of the first 2,000,000 men called to the colors in the recent emergency could not read their orders to understand them or read letters relatives and friends sent them. The figures are from Secretary Lane’s recent report, in which he urges the vital necessity of carrying on a vigorous campaign of Americanization which shall end—if it can ever end—when every adult in America has learned to read write and use the language of the United States, says Cleveland Plain Dealer. There is room for only one set of ideals in this country and, except for newcomers, there is room for only one language. While the teaching of English is but one of many items in the Americanization program, it is an important one, as the figures of Secretary Lane proclaim.
