THE POPULAR THING For the very jaunty young fellows who like to be dressed as if they had just got up something new for themselves, our double-breasted waist-seam styles are the highly popular thing. Hart Schaffner & Marx certainly did something when they designed these models. If you haven't seen the new ones, come on in. "By All Means Get a Fit."

Steps to protect the people of Southern California against abuse of the uniform of the United States by persons using it while begging, soliciting newspaper and magazine subscriptions and selling articles from house to house, were taken at a conference in Los Angeles of representatives of the War Department, officials of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Welfare Bureau and city officials. The object of the conference was to prepare the way for a war on unscrupulous persons who have encouraged discharged service men to don their nuliforms in order to promote purely selfish aims. Similar steps are being taken in large cities all over the country, as the result of complaints made to Col. Arthur Wood, Assistant Secretary of War, in charge of soldiers' and sailors' welfare work. Present at the conference were Capt. Edwin Wemple, special representative of Col. Wood; Lieut. Alexander S. Craven, Special War Department investigator; E. H. Bagby, chairman of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Replacement Bureau; Erwin W. Widney, City Prosecutor; Albert Lee Stephens, City Attorney, and Dr. A. D. Houghton, representing the American Legion, the national organization of world war veterans. Speaking for the War Department Capt. Wemple asked the co-operation of all citizens and business men as well as discharged service men in suppressing the exploitation of the uniform. He said the public welfare agencies, acting in co-operation with the War Department and United States labor bureau, were well able to take care of the replacement work and that all honorably discharged men would be placed in situations if they exercised patience and co-operated with the local replacement bureau. He declared himself as opposed to this replacement work being attempted by private interests. BIG OIL EXCITEMENT IN RIVERSIDE COUNTY what claims or by what one or ones of the hundreds of filers, is not made clear, but that the next two weeks will see actual beginning of operations is the general impression around town. Last night in the office of the county surveyor it is understood, a fledgling company was organized with certain well known business and professional men as stockholders, and while they have "nothing to say for publication," they intimate that the near future, quite near in fact, will see the beginning of the operations of this new body. It takes $50,000 to start this business of drilling for oil, according to authoritative information, and even after you have gathered together the $50,000 and drilled down some thousands of feet, you may, and again you may not, find the looked-for fluid which makes money. No definite information seems available concerning the personnel of the company or companies which will start operations in the Moreno district, but it is understood to include well-known oil men of the state. The future may find Riverside county one of the big oil centers of the state. And while they are waiting to find out, the filers on oil claims have only parted with four thrift stamps. WHY REVISION OF TARIFF IS ASKED You, who read this and occasionally wear a silk tie or buy your wife a silk shirtwaist or a velvet hat, probably do not realize how important an industry the manufacture of silk products is in America. There are over 900 establishments with a total of over 115,000 employees, whose annual wages are over $47,000,000. The invested capital in these factories is a fifth of one billion dollars. In 1914 the value of their output was a quarter of a billion, and now it is over $350,000,000. The United States is the largest consumer of raw silk in the world, the largest consumer of manufactured silk products in the world and the largest producer of woven silk fabrics. As a result the United States buys what claims or by what one or ones of the hundreds of filers, is not made clear, but that the next two weeks will see actual beginning of operations is the general impression around town.

Everybody in town who has been able to find a dollar rolling its way to the thrift stamp window has filed on a claim which will some day make him a millionaire resident of Riverside. In fact Riverside is going to have so many millionaires when the oil gushers have begun to gush that it will be quite original and individual to be one of the poor who did not have a dollar in this month of June, 1919. Since the oil thrill first struck Riverside two weeks ago the county recorder's office has had to work a day and night shift to take care of the enthusiastic folks who wanted to file on government lands out Moreno way. And as a result of the rush there is left scarce a bit of unfiled on land between Moreno and the Salton Sea. Those well known Bad Lands out in the hills beyond Moreno in the Jackrabbit trail district, may be called Goodlands, and bring in a flood of olly wealth for those fortunate possessors of one dollar. For there seems to be a promise of real action in all this filing on possible oil-bearing lands out Moreno way and from the talk going about the court house this week, actual drilling will begin soon. Just when or on The invested capital in these factories is a fifth of one billion dollars. In 1914 the value of their output was a quarter of a billion, and now it is over $350,000,000. The United States is the largest consumer of raw silk in the world, the largest consumer of manufactured silk products in the world and the largest producer of woven silk fabrics. As a result the United States buys 86 per cent of all raw silk that Japan exports, and the rest that we need we get from China and Italy. One result of the war was to accentuate the position of the United States as a silk manufacturing center of the world. It also resulted in stimulating Japan and China to greater manufactures of silk. Since the war began the Japanese exports o habitat silk and crepe de chine and the Chinese exports of pongees into this country have greatly increased. It is because of the fear of modernized Japanese silk industry that American manufacturers will ask for a revision of the tariff. OPPOSES EXTRA SESSION State Senator S. C. Evans is not strong for the proposed special session of the state legislature for the purpose of ratifying the national suffrage amendment that has been passed by congress. A petition is at present being circulated in the state by the women with that end in view, but because of the cost of a special session, it is not likely that Governor Stephens will act favorably on the petition. "I have not given the matter of a special session very much thought," said Senator Evans. "Personally I am against special sessions because they cost a whole lot of more Hotel as A.

Fox, convicted of defrauding Mrs. Anna G. Walters, an Anaheim widow, out of $5106.25, in the county jail at Los Angeles proudly exhibited a telegram from J. P. Tumulty, secretary to President Wilson, Wednesday, thanking him for having saved the President's Riverside county property from sale for delinquent taxes. When Fox learned that the President's ranch, consisting of 61 acres near Indio, was to be sold for delinquent taxes to the amount of $37.31, he promptly forwarded a check to C. R. Stibbens, Riverside county tax collector. Tumulty's telegram read as follows: "Accidentally learned yesterday that the President's Riverside county taxes were in arrears and wired collector of taxes for information. He tells me that you were generous enough to intervene yesterday morning. I know that the President will deeply appreciate your friendly spirit in his behalf and I thank you cordially. Please wire me the amount due you." Fox was sentenced to from one to 10 years in the penitentiary and his attorney has filed an appeal. It appears from later returns that Fox's boast of holding an interest in the Wilson estate was premature. His check was returned to him and Secretary Tumulty wired the sum due for IN THE OIL FIELD (From Brea Progress) After standing idle for two years the Thos. Strain well is being tried out again with the hope of making an oil well out of it. Bottom water has been a constant menace since the well started drilling over seven years ago. The present production is mostly water, and little progress can be expected until the deep water is shut off. To date very little success has been accomplished in the handling of deep water. The drilling of considerably more than 200 feet a week with cable tools in the hard sand and conglomerate is the record that has been made by the Petroleum Development Company on its Bradford wells. The big record was made at Bradford No. 2 at a depth of 800 and 1000 feet. The Santa Fe is using lighter bits than the Union at Chapman No. 2, and it is believed that the smaller tools are more easily welded and cut better. The Santa Fe has three wells drilling and is making good progress. The Standard's Anaheim Union Water No. 1, now drilling at 4010 feet, is the deepest well drilling in the new Kraemer field and to date looks like a dry hole. The formation is shale, but is showing absolutely no oil. Lock No. 1, the offset well on the east, is standing idle after being drilled to 3795 feet until the outcome of the Anaheim well is known. Lock No. 2 is rigging and will start drilling in a few days. will forge ahead beyond our fondest expectations. All credit is due to those splendid workers who put their shoulders to the wheel of progress and pushed Orange county "over the top" into new fields of industrial activity. The women of Orange county are a wonder and pride, without them, much of our work would be in vain. It was a fortunate day for humanity when they demanded and received the right to do their part in making history. As chairman of the Harbor Bond Campaign Committee, I thank each and every worker, each and every voter, who did his or her share to make possible an Orange County Harbor. There is yet much to do but Orange county has awakened to her opportunities and we must all strive to keep the good work going. What's next? Sincerely and gratefully, JAS. C. METZGAR, Chairman Orange County Harbor Bond Campaign Committee. CAPITAL CHAT Representative Martin B. Madden of Illinois, who spent several weeks in France and visited the battle fields took occasion recently to give the House of Representatives an account of his observations of the scenes of the great world conflict. Some of his descriptions of battle fields are particularly interesting and thrilling as they give a very vivid impression of the difficulties encountered by the American soldiers who frequently fought against tremendous odds. A copy of the speech may be obtained by applying to Mr. Madden at the National Capitol. I know that the President will deeply appreciate your friendly spirit in his behalf and I thank you cordially. Please wire me the amount due you." Fox was sentenced to from one to 10 years in the penitentiary and his attorney has filed an appeal. It appears from later returns that Fox's boast of holding an interest in the Wilson estate was premature. His check was returned to him and Secretary Tumulty wired the sum due for taxes to Tax Collector Stibbens. EVENTFUL JOY RIDE TERMINATES IN JAIL Booze and Bad Checks Cut Short A Gay Career. A trail of bank checks led by a sinuous but brightly-lighted noctural route from Los Angeles to the Orange County Jail Wednesday, with the arrest at Santa Ana of A. J. Weston, Butte mining man now visiting Los Angeles, and a young woman, who gave the name of Marie Wilson. Miss Wilson, who is a pretty young woman, about 25, and Weston, also known as John A. Weston, who is 35, left Los Angeles a little after 8 o'clock Tuesday night, headed south. They were in an automobile driven by Joe Vaughn, and belonging to the Mitchell Auto Service. Vernon, Seal Beach and Long Beach were included in the journey, with checks in evidence in each place, the police were told. In Long Beach Weston stopped at a doctor's office, where the young woman with him had a slight injury to her hand dressed, and where Weston, it is alleged, paid with one of his checks. She said her hand was hurt in a fight with her brother-in-law at a downtown Los Angeles hotel. The car arrived in Santa Ana shortly before 1 o'clock, Wednesday morning. Weston registered at the Rossmore Hotel as A. J. Weston and wife, and deposited a $10 check. A little later, it is alleged, he tried to cash another check in a Santa Ana cafe, but failed when the manager communicated with the hotel and learned that Weston was not known there. He was arrested a short time afterward, and was charged by T. A. Alexander of the Rossmore Hotel with issuing a no-fund check on the Long Beach Trust and Savings Bank. The woman is held on the charge of vagrancy. The Standard's Anaheim Union Water No. 1, now drilling at 4010 feet, is the deepest well drilling in the new Kraemer field and to date looks like a dry hole. The formation is shale, but is showing absolutely no oil. Lock No. 1, the offset well on the east, is standing idle after being drilled to 3795 feet until the outcome of the Anaheim well is known. Lock No. 2 is rigging and will start drilling in a few days. The Standard is making preparations to put Kraemer 1-3 on the beam. The well stopped drilling at 2475 and looks good for 250 barrels. The Standard drilling on its Collins well southwest of the Union's Chapman has come into the hard stuff at 2400 feet. Up to this point the drilling progress on the well has been rapid, and it was thought that perhaps the hard formation found in the Chapman and Kraemer wells did not extend to the Collins location. The formation of the Collins well shows the same hard stuff, only considerably deeper. Two wells drilling in the Kraemer field are showing gas enough to give promise of good wells if only the gas showing was not so shallow. The Union's Newell No. 1 drilling at 500 feet and the Thompson-Goodwin well drilling at 700 feet, are both showing gas in large quantities. However, this gas map be coming from the so-called surface oils found in almost all oil fields of any consequence. The Amalgamated's Ibbitson well has reached a depth of 3035 feet without a showing of oil. The formation is a shale and sand and should commence to show a little oil soon. Amalgamated officials are beginning to doubt the chances for a successful well. The Amalgamated's Yorba No. 1 is drilling in brown shale at 1900, and the Potter well in shale and boulders at 1020 feet. The California Star, drilling on the Yarnell property in the Kraemer field, is meeting with the hard digging characteristic of the locality. Yarnell No. 1 is drilling at 1200 feet in conglomerate. No. 2 is 1100 feet deep in hard sand and No. 3 is 1000 feet deep in the same formation. House of Representatives an account of his observations of the scenes of the great world conflict. Some of his descriptions of battle fields are particularly interesting and thrilling as they give a very vivid impression of the difficulties encountered by the American soldiers who frequently fought against tremendous odds. A copy of the speech may be obtained by applying to Mr. Madden at the National Capitol. A resolution has been introduced by Representative Harry C. Woodyard of West Virginia directing immediate return to this country of the soldiers of the United States now in Europe and the immediate demobilization of soldiers now in service outside of the regular army. The resolution is in the hands of the House Committee on Military Affairs. It is Mr. Woodyard's desire to have the men returned as rapidly as possible to civil life. Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas, has introduced a bill which will authorize the Bureau of War Risk Insurance to pay to beneficiaries of soldiers the amounts due them in a lump sum, at the election of said beneficiaries. Under the present law payments can be made only in installments. The original purpose was to provide benefits over a considerable period and to protect those who might be tempted to waste their money if paid to them in a lump sum. Senator Curtis' bill is designed to afford relief to those who could make better use of the money if they had it in a lump sum available for investment. Senator Wesley L. Jones of the State of Washington has introduced a bill to provide for the deportation of aliens who had declared their intention to become citizens of the United States but withdrew such declaration with the object of escaping military service. His bill also provides that any such alien who shall have left the United States shall be excluded therefrom hereafter. A bill has been introduced by Senator Selden P. Spencer of Missouri to appropriate $500,000 for the purchase and maintenance of a cemetery in France in the name of the United States for the interment of the bodies of American officers and men who lost their lives in connection with the European war. This bill, if enacted more Hotel as A. J. Weston and wife, and deposited a $10 check. A little later, it is alleged, he tried to cash another check in a Santa Ana cafe, but failed when the manager communicated with the hotel and learned that Weston was not known there. He was arrested a short time afterward, and was charged by T. A. Alexander of the Rossmore Hotel with issuing a no-fund check on the Long Beach Trust and Savings Bank. The woman is held on the charge of vagrancy. The young man of unlimited check book first made his appearance at the Hotel Hayward in Los Angeles, Tuesday evening. He registered, but was not assigned to a room. An hour later a manager of a downtown cafe called up the Hayward and asked if Weston's check for $50 was good. He was told that Weston was not known. Weston rented the car about eight o'clock in the evening, and shortly afterward left the city. On the way to Vernon the Wilson woman joined him, the police were told. Weston told the Santa Ana police he was a married man, and expressed a desire to have the affair wound up quietly. He and the Wilson woman are believed to be traveling under assumed names. cost a whole lot of money." Unless it is a very grave case of emergency it is not believed that the governor will call the law makers together. Two-thirds of a majority of the states must ratify the amendment before it can become a law. The women of the country are very anxious to cast their ballots at the polls of the next presidential election, and for this reason the matter is being pushed. Anaheim Gazette, per year, $1.50, payable in advance. The California Star, drilling on the Yarnell property in the Kraemer field, is meeting with the hard digging characteristic of the locality. Yarnell No. 1 is drilling at 1200 feet in conglomerate. No. 2 is 1100 feet deep in hard sand and No. 3 is 1000 feet deep in the same formation. The Clark Oil Company has closed a deal for the leasing of the Dr. Johnston property southeast of Richfield. The Clark Oil Company paid a bonus of $25,000 and the usual royalty. The Johnston property consists of 190 acres, a large part of it being considered as promising oil property. A few months ago the Standard Oil Company had this property under consideration, but did not accept it. Development of the lease by the Clark Oil Company will be started in the very near future. The best looking well now drilling in the Kraemer field is the Fullerton Oil Company's Travis. At 2650 this well is drilling in a high grade oil sand and is showing lots of oil. In fact this well has been showing oil in quantity in all formations after leaving the 2000 foot mark.

Jacob Willits, a resident of this county since 1888, and famous throughout racing circles, died at the county hospital Wednesday at the age of 95. With the passing of Mr. Willits, life is ended for a man who battled in the Civil War and in civil life. He won fame and wealth and died practically a financial wreck. He came here on a sick bed, from which it was thought that he would never rally. The change made a quick cure for him and he was not long in resuming an active life. He came to Santa Ana in 1888 from Kansas, his home being at Topeka, near which place he owned two valuable farms, one of 1240 acres and the other of 160 acres. At the time of coming here he was worth about $100,000. He bought the H. H. Roper place of 120 acres located on Bristol street, which has been divided into smaller tracts and sold off. In the east he devoted himself to the raising of fast horses and the development of Silkwood, who in the days of racing in California in the early '90s won fame and honor for himself and owner. Silkwood was a mere colt when Willits brought him here. Willits trained him and developed him into one of the speediest horses on the coast. Silkwood made a record of 2:07 on the Santa Ana track, holding the pacing record for a number of years. Silkwood had a record of making the half mile post in one minute flat, which has never been equalled, but he was always slow on the home stretch.

Cutting millinery bills by making their own hats is becoming a widespread economy among women mem- skillful tutelage of the home-demonstration agent, results in hats which even the critical would hesitate to identify as "home-made." In Washington State the many millinery classes organized this year have been so popular that it was found necessary to limit the number who could attend. Three-day classes in King County, Washington, are popular, the result of the three club meetings being a pretty hat for each club member at a nominal expense. Material for the hats was a difficult problem. Trips to the city were expensive in time and money for most of the women in the clubs, and when in the city many did not know where to buy to advantage. The best solution found was for the home-demonstration agent to purchase staple supplies, such as braids, silks, trimmings, and shapes, and the club members were better satisfied with the selection they made away from the confusion of the shops. The advice of the home-demonstration agent and the other club members also helps to make a wise choice of frame color, and trimming. When additional material is needed for the next lesson and a woman can not conveniently purchase it for herself, the agent includes it in her shopping list. Often larger pieces of material cut to better advantage, and by the class method what is left can be used in another class. The amount of millinery material purchased wholesale in King County in one month amounted to $150. Nearly all was made into hats before the end of the month. On flowers, feathers, and shapes bought wholesale about one-half of retail prices was saved. By watching for bargains and buying in large amounts the agent has saved also on the material bought at retail.
