was an opportunity that could have been brought out in all its granduer by using a proper library table with a lamp, etc., thereon, beside the eventful caskets of mystery. Now, this has got nothing to do with "the psychology of the high school mind." It has all to do with the psychology of the high school dramatic presentation other than from the student's point of view. The students have plenty to do in learning lines of the parts. It is up to somebody else to coach the action and direct the stage effects. The various plays put before the public by the high school pupils are a credit to the pupils from the pupils' viewpoint, and that's all. When any institution undertakes to invite the public at so much per to see something, the "Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont" game should not be played. It is not going to do the students any good to be camouflaged. It only put a wrong value on incidents. When they get out into actual living it will be only a repetition of what the life of today is, so saturated with "Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont" stuff. Let's be honest! Let's be true, let's call a spade a spade! Don't let's seem to be, let's BE! Let it be understood—I am not criticising the ability of "the high school mind" to learn and remember passages of literature in any language. My intent is that delivery, acting and setting are all the three different phases as I above described, is then of no practical use these days. A park a distance from the center of the city permits mothers of children to go for an hour or two without having to go to a park where men habitually congregate, as they do in parks that are in the business sections of cities. What this city ought to do is to join with Fullerton and have a joint public park half way between each city. The cost, upkeep and use could be shared equally. Such a union park would serve for a union school children's celebration occasionally. I know Fullerton now has a park, but what kind of a vark is it? It is nothing more or less than a beautiful front yard. It is of no practical use to the institutions of the city. It is not far enough away from the town to be a place to go to. Fullerton and Anaheim are too close together to be on the outs. These two cities ought to be good twin sisters. Anything of a public nature, such as parks, sewers, lighting systems, water works, etc., that could be used jointly, ought so be owned. In fact, Fullerton and Anaheim are so close they ought to be one city, with one government, or two halves of one big city. One can easily see that a union city would save much municipal expense. North Los Angeles street in Anaheim, joining with Spadra road in Fullerton, ought to be one grand boulevard, lined thickly with business blocks all the way. If Anaheim and Fullerton can get together on a union park between the two cities they will have done a real helpful civic betterment. If Anaheim must have her own park, however, all by her little self, any other place than a sufficient listance from the business section of the city useful.

W Let it be understood—I am not criticising the ability of "the high school mind" to learn and remember passages of literature in any language. My intention is that delivery, acting and setting are all the three different phases of a public entertainment, and it isn't going to do any student any good to say to him a thing is "wonderful," "great," "fine," etc., when everybody secretly knows it isn't. Too many of us are not honest in our expressions of our convictions, and many of us are that way because when we were in school the right value on things was not exemplified by practice, if not by precept. So, by showing students wherein their plays fall short ought to be received in a spirit to know what is the fault, so that a correction can be made, in the mind, at least. If people can't act, and if proper settings can't be provided for the acting, then the proper place for an exhibition of literature and language accomplishments is on the rostrum. The music at "The Merchant of Venice" night was superior to that of the language night. The absence of jazz was a relief. The only fault I have of "The Merchant of Venice" night music is that there wasn't enough of it. However, what there was, was music to my ears. I am not posing as a judge of the technique of music. What I know is that a selection of a piece of music may be or may not be fitting to the main event of the occasion. So, as far as I am concerned, I am thankful that the music of "The Merchant of Venice" night was "class—l-cal" and appropriate. Where to Park a Park This city has done more or less considering regarding a park, which indicates that this city does not cognize the age, day and generation in which it lives, moves and has its being. A park for Anaheim is ambiguous, and an encumberance. Parks are out of date. Previous to twenty-five years ago a park in any city might have been only a repetition of what the life of today is, so saturated with "Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont" stuff. Let's be honest!

A Local Smithsonian Institute In the east window, Center street side, of Heyings pharmacy is a striking bit of a world-famous institution. This bit of an exhibit reminded me of my many hours spent in the Smithsonian institute in Washington. In this window is an exhibition of "Telling Time Through the Ages." It is very interesting and instructive. Of course, it is a commercial attempt to sell a certain kind of a watch, but it is, nevertheless, a very illuminating exhibit of history. To those who are students of antiquity, such will find five or six minutes' meditation before this window a sort of a journey to the Smithsonian institute in Washington or a journey back through the ages to the beginning of time. Several times I have spent periods of moments before that excellent exhibit, my mind going back to the early days of humanity's existence. Whoever the local window dresser is, I must say he did some clever work in setting the "stage" scenery for the exhibit. The exhibit is properly placed and presented in a commercial display window. He has my thanks for executing commercial art so tastefully. This exhibit of telling time through the ages is in nine episodes, beautiful... Where to Park a Park This city has done more or less considering regarding a park, which indicates that this city does not cognize the age, day and generation in which it lives, moves and has its being. A park for Anaheim is ambiguous, and an encumberance. Parks are out of date. Previous to twenty-five years ago a park in any city might have been the proper thing, but not now. We are living in an age of transportation. People of any punkins ride, they go somewhere. Years ago a park was a place to go to on foot, but no one in these days foots anywhere. It is too late in the world's mad rush for Anaheim to have a park. A park nowadays would be like a boil on the back of one's neck. A park would be an encumberance, an unnecessary expense. A sight adjoining the library has been suggested as a most appropriate place for a park. It's the most inappropriate place in all Anaheim. A park—if Anaheim must have a park—should under no circumstance be down town. Have a look at the parks that are in the business sections of other cities, big or little. What are they? Loafing conveniences for men, nothing else. If this city must have a park, let it be away out somewhere—a distance that would be a good, healthy walk, and a good ride to get to. By being as far away from the business section as possible it will serve its usefulness more successfully, because schools and Sunday school lwsould have a place to go to for an outing, without having to go too far from the city. A park downtown would not be of use for a purpose like what I just mentioned. If a park cannot be of service exhibit, my mind going back to the early days of humanity's existence. Whoever the local window dresser is, I must say he did some clever work in setting the "stage" scenery for the exhibit. The exhibit is properly placed and presented in a commercial display window. He has my thanks for executing commercial art so tastefully. This exhibit of telling time through the ages is in nine episodes, beautifully illustrated according to the highest degree of efficiency in the commercial illustrators' art. As a background setting for the nine sections of the world's growth in telling time through the ages is a fine conception of the great cosmos—an excellent depiction of some artist's idea of the world and worlds around about this earth that we are such slaves to. The first episode illustrated is 50,000 B.C. Get it?—50,000 B.C.—the stone age. A stone age man is making a date with his sweetheart by the shadow cast by a huge rock. The next episode is 1,000 B.C. This is the Babylonian age. In those days the kings read time by the stars. The episode that follows is 100 B.C. This bit of antiquity depicts the telling of time in Rome by a water clock. From here we are taken in our history sightseeing tour to 1300 A.D. This is the middle ages in history. In those times the timepieces were hugh clocks. The episode, 1510 A.D., is presented for our contemplation next. This is a scene of a blacksmith in Nuremburg who made the first pocket clock. Some blacksmith? From the blacksmith we ride in imagination to the Colonial period—1750 A.D. In those days Colonial watches were more ornamental than ANAHEIM GAZETTE NEW MOTOR FUEL Five thousand gallons of benzol, a by-product of coke used for motor fuel, is now daily extracted and refined at the Ford Motor company's blast furnace coke ovens near Detroit. This fuel, which is more highly combustible than gasoline, is now being sold at public stations at the above named plant, and has proven highly satisfactory. This price at present is about the same as that of gasoline. While the Ford Motor company is not the first to discover or use this fuel for motor cars, still the public station is the first ever opened to sell benzol exclusively for motor car consumption. This filling station carries a supply of 25,000 gallons of benzol on hand all the time. To date some 300,000 gallons have been sold and used by car and truck drivers in Detroit. Particularly during the recent strike there was an exceptionally large demand for this product. Benzol has not as yet reached the highest stage of refinement, and present results are best when it is mixed in equal portions with gasoline. But the Ford chemical laboratory are doing a great deal of experimenting and soon hope to be able to refine it so it can be used alone and under all conditions. Of course, its chief effectiveness comes from its high combustive power which is between twelve and fifteen per cent greater than gasoline. Ford officials state there is no possibility of benzol ever displacing gasoline as a motor fuel, since it is a by-product of coke and therefore obtainable only in limited quantities. SUNDAY SCHOOL FIELD DAY Sunday schools of Orange county As I saw those four-fifths naked women perched upon the hoods of automobiles displaying their painted and powdered anatomy my mind reverted to the days of Babylon. Have you ever been to a horse show? Are they not exhibitions of horse flesh? Have you ever been to an automobile show? Are they not exhibitions of automobile lines and bodily construction? Well, that's what a "bathing suit parade" is—it's an exhibition of a low state of mentality—the brazen parading of one's bodily formation. To the strains of music over 300 young women, on a flowery decorated stage in full view of thousands of people of all degrees, and before a judging committee of sporting men of which our world-famous champion was chairman, Jack Dempsey, paraded and sported themselves after the street parade was over. My mind went back to the ancient days when females were captured and made to disport themselves in such a manner. Whereas, in this, the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and twenty, women are eager and vie with each other to see how they can charm the male of the specie. Just think of it, how low in decency we have gotten to. When I was much more of a kid that I am now I recollect of a burlesque show being "pinched" for parading on a theater stage in tights, no parts of the flesh being exposed whatsoever. Whereas, Sunday, all the flesh seemed to be exposed. Then again, a bathing suit parade, and its judging of same to offer prizes, is like many of our social values—they are hypocritical, they are all of that Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont" stuff. There was only one "bathing suit" in the whole parade that could have stood a wetting. (And that one was worn by a New York champion girl swimmer, who, it seems, must have been beguiled into this Babylonian debauch.) It seems to me, a sensible motive in holding such a parade would be to judge the women after they had plunged into the surf several times. Then, if the suits looked as pretty after as before, they ought to get a prize. It takes an ocean dip, though, to take off the mask of female beauty. A real beautiful woman is one who can look SUNDAY SCHOOL FIELD DAY Sunday schools of Orange county are to hold a big field day and picnic at the County park on June 19, it was announced by G. W. Kitzmiller, secretary of the Orange County Sunday School association. Among the awards to be given schools are the following: To the one having twenty per cent of its enrolled membership present; to the one having the highest percentage of its enrollment present; to the one having the largest number present; and to the two schools having the highest percentage of attendance for the first five months of 1920. A series of contests and games is being arranged. A monster crowd is anticipated. NAME TOO COMMON Reservoir Hill is no more, and this beautiful spot, where the Fullerton board of trade Easter exercises are annually held, will hereafter be known as "Hillcrest Park." This is in accord with the board of trade's action in selecting this name, which will be made official when the city trustees formally adopt the new name when it is recommended at their next meeting. The name, "Hillcrest Park," was selected by a vote of 98 to 33, at the semi-annual ladies night, when close to 150 people were present at the board of trade banquet. "Altamira" and "Skyline Park" were proposed names for the hill previously considered. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE First Church of Christ, Scientist, corner of Philadelphia and Chartres streets.

MORE EGGS—MEAT SCRAPS Hens given meat, fish or milk products in their diet will lay from 38 to 66 per cent more eggs than those which have only grain feed and what bugs and worms they can pick up on free range, recent experiments made by the United States department of agriculture show. The birds used in the experiments were given conditions as nearly like those on a normal farm as possible. The experiments were repeated under different conditions and in different years to avoid, as far as possible, any error due to the varied characteristics of the birds. The average farmer feeds very little meat, fish or animal protein feed of any kind to his poultry, and consequently gets few eggs during the late fall and winter when eggs are selling at the highest prices. In the experiments conducted on the government poultry farm, pens of pullets on free range were fed a mash of corn meal, bran, and middlings and a Scotch mixture of wheat, oats and corn. This is a greater variety of grains than is used by many farmers. In addition the birds had absolutely free range on land where bugs, green feed, and worms were plentiful. Other hens were given the same ration, with 1 pound of commercial meat scraps added to every 4 pounds of mash. swimmer, who, it seems, must have been beguiled into this Babylonian debauch.

Then, if the suits looked as pretty after as before, they ought to get a prize. It takes an ocean dip, though, to take off the mask of female beauty. A real beautiful woman is one who can look beautiful and attractive after a ten-minute frolic in the briney waters of the Pacific. But, these famous "bathing suit" judges did not ask the contestants for prizes for the "best?" bathing suit to enter the water and thus give a practical demonstration of the utility and beauty of the garments under actual use. Ah! No! The blooming things would not stand water—they never were made for water—they were simply made to see how much of one's anatomy could be exposed with the least censure. Several of the "beauties?", if they had entered the ocean, they would have been arrested when they came out for leaving their bathing suits in the ocean, as the garments that they blantly wore were constituted of material that was filmsy and the kind of cloth that "evaporates" when in water. Oh! How holy we are! We are worshipping man—the body, the flesh—never, never, never do seem to think of a God, of the real life e. How we are hypnotized with animal magnetism! We strive by all methods and degrees to keep on the throne, man's god—the animal body and its magnetism. Venice is a modern Babylon.

UNPLEASANT REMINDERS Patriotism of the millionaire colony at Menlo Park was violently attacked in resolutions passed by wounded and sick soldiers at the United States Public Health Service hospital there, it was learned. Amid an uproar of cheers and hisses, the soldiers unanimously declared that the millionaires who desired to have the hospital moved from that location were slackers to whom the uniform of a soldier is "an unpleasant reminder" of their own inactivity during the war. The Menlo Park colony has fathered a movement to change the hospital's location, declared that tubercular patients mingle with citizens on the streets and are a menace to the public health. The chamber of commerce here is seeking to retain the hospital. Over 350 wounded and sick soldiers attended the meeting. All but the bedridden were there. "Everyone knows that the Menlo Park citizens live on their palatial estates only four months out of the year, whereas the hospital is permanent," the resolution reads. It declares that when the soldiers get their pensions they will be able to buy civilian feed, and worms were plentiful. Other hens were given the same ration, with 1 pound of commercial meat scraps added to every 4 pounds of mash.

Meat scrap is not produced on most farms, and has to be bought at a higher price than grain. It produces eggs, though several cents a dozen cheaper than where no meat scrap is used. Milk products or fish give as good results as meat in increasing egg production.
