Mills of Santa Barbara nothing to change his mind about selling, for $300, an acre lot, east of Anaheim, to Mrs. C. Simmons. Superior Judge Williams held that letters in which the sale was negotiated and which were read into the record constituted a contract, and Mills was under court orders to deliver a conveyance to Mrs. Simomns. Among the letters introduced in evidence was one purporting to have been written by Mills to an Anaheim banker, through whom the negotiations were craried on. This letter read in part: "I have decided not to dispose of my property at present, and if you will kindly return all of the papers you received from me, same will be appreciated."

Saturday was an extraordinary day—a midsummer day carved from the WOMAN DESIGNED THE FIRST GAS MASK Woman is credited with designing the first gas mask, according to press dispatches from Pittsburgh, Pa., which state that "the first gas mask based upon the use of charcoal for the abwhich in actual practice was so varfrom the atmosphere, the principle which in actual practicet was so valuable to the armies in the world war, was made by the late Mrs. J. Garner of Pittsburgh." The statement was made at the Mellon Institute of Research in Pittsburgh, and would therefore seem to be authentic. Mrs. Garner, wife of the director of research of an important natural gas company, became interested in the experiments her husband was conducting with the gases which at that time, early in 1915, had appeared on the battlefields of Europe. When the principle was once established, the institute declares, Mrs. Garner designed and made gas masks of the canister type, and in June, 1915, they were handed over to the representatives in America of the British government. They were sent to England, and from this first design other gas masks were made. When the United States entered the war, full details of the experimental work and all apparatus that had been employed were supplied to the government. Mrs. Garner died a year ago. LOST—Friday.

As good as it looks The nice thing about the clothes Saturday was an extraordinary day—a midsummer day carved from the July calendar and pasted on a January date.

Superior Judge Williams Tuesday upheld the constitutionality of the law permitting the sale of apples, more than ten per cent of which are wormy, to by-products concerns. Arguments on appeal were heard Tuesday by Superior Judge Williams in connection with an action taken from justice court by Attorney M. B. Wellington, of the firm of Bishop & Wellington, representing Joe Thurston, fruit grower, of Aliso canyon, who was fined $50 recently after being found guilty of a charge of selling apples, more than 10 per cent of which were wormy. Attorney Wellington attacked the constitutionality of the law under which Thurston was prosecuted, on the grounds that it was discriminatory in that it permitted the sale of apples, ten per cent of which are wormy, to by-products concerns. Deputy District Attorney William F. Menton argued for the law. He said that it was obviously designed to protect apple growers, through allowing them to make sales of apples, a certain percentage of which was defective, to by-products concerns, rather than to bar them from disposing of such apples anywhere. hTe complaint on which Thurston was prosecuted was sworn to by E. H. Paddock, deputy county horticultural commissioner. Apple growers are interested in the outcome of the case on appeal. KATELLA WILL HAVE taken in this connection, it was said, because the present location is not in the center of the district. The law requires that suits to condemn additional property needed by a school may be instituted only in cases where the school concerned is located in the center of a district. The trustees have been offered $2000 for the three-quarter acre site upon which the present building stands, and an additional $1000 for the building, it was said. Superintendent of County Schools R. P. Mitchell, who owns property in the Katella district, was present at the meeting, and with the aid of maps, pointed out the advantages of the project under consideration. Another who attended the meeting was C. W. Burns, manager of the Santa Ana Steam Laundry, and who owns property in the district. C. B. Berger, prominent real estate dealer of Anaheim, who lives in the district, was enthusiastic in support of the plan. It is believed that a bond election to provide funds for the new school building will be held in the near future. First Church of Christ, Scientist, corner Philadelphia and Chartres streets.

The Gazette $1.50 Per Year KATELLA WILL HAVE NEW SCHOOL HOUSE People of District Decide to Construct a $35,000 Building. People of the Katella school district held a meeting Monday night at which 100 persons were present, and decided by a unanimous vote to build a new school house to cost $35,000, which is the limit that can be voted for the purpose. One of those primarily interested in the movement, and who addressed the meeting in support of the various steps, was W. C. Mauerhan, one of the trustees of the district. There were but one or two dissenting votes on the proposition to dispose of the present school and site and to purchase a new site, located approximately three-quarters of a mile east of the present building. The motion that the trustees expend the entire amount permitted by law, $35,000, in the construction of a new and up-to-date school building was carried without a dissenting vote. The project was launched, it was brought out, as a result of the development that property adjoining the present site was being held at a price regarded as prohibitive. Condemnation proceedings could not be under-
