A POINT OF VIEW By ALBERT ABBOTT Eversharp Pencil Points Women are queer. A wife has been reported as having a habit of looking under the folding wall bed after she had just let it down. She says she does it to see if there are any burglars under the bed. The saddest of all tales, in a newspaper, to a woman: "After the honeymoon they will settle down to housekeeping." Why take a lunch to the beach? There are always plenty of sandwiches there. Son (reading paper)—What is a Mann Act? Father—A Mann Act is an unmanly act. The suggestion of a financial journal to the presidential candidates that they pick their cabinets before election is a good idea in a way, as such a scheme would enable the voters to elect the whole of the executive department of the government, and not one member of it, as now done. Pat (observing sign over a motion picture theater, sees Mike approaching)—Mike, what be "A First National Attraction"? Mike—A first national attraction, Bible injunction: "Ye have eyes and ye see not." At the recent republican convention a woman's band from Kansas wearing Wood buttons serenaded Johnson's headquarters, said a dispatch. They are as privileged to wear those kind of buttons as wooden shoes. In order for Cox to be elected will he need a Coxey's Army? Exercise is excellent, but don't forget to work out the mental muscles, too. The ability to forget is sometimes just as much of a blessing as a good memory. Idleness isn't rest; on the contrary, it's rather hard work. When a man marries a stenographer will he dictate to her? When a man is making an effort to be clean, or healthy, or happy., or honest, don't disturb him. Everybody would rather hear of a wedding than a funeral. Attach yourself to some live movement like the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce and save yourself from being classed with the dead ones. Weep, and you're called a baby; laugh, and you're called a fool; yield, and you're called a coward; stand, and you're called a mule; smile, and they'll call you silly; frown, and they'll call you gruff; put on a front like a millionaire, and some one'll call your bluff.

Pat (observing sign over a motion picture theater, sees Mike approaching) —Mike, what be "A First National Attraction"? Mike—A first national attraction, Pat, is a Tin Lizzey. A man should never be ashamed to own he has been in the wrong, which is but saying, in other words, that he is wiser today than he was yesterday.—Alexander Pope. The auto club often receives questions like this: "Where can we go that we have never been before?" The world is moving so fast, there are only two places left to go to—Heaven or Hell. Sir Conon Doyle's daughter announces that she does not believe in her father's spirit dope. It is refreshing to find somebody who does not believe in a thing JUST because the nearest relative so believes. Not only were the suits of the local girls as classy in appearance as those of their professional rivals, but their suits were FOR bathing purposes and despite the fact that they had been used for THAT purpose during the day the local girls (the word "girls" used in this case without question) still had the best of the argument.—Santa Ana Register. The other morning a police officer was observed taking a license plate to the police station. Wonder if the officer failed to have a pencil, so grabbed the speeder's license plate. It is now reported that there is a shortage of hay. Has the sun ceased to shine? The Catholic priest in New Orleans who refused to proceed with a marriage ceremony because the young woman had on too thin a waist, certainly deserves commendation for the courage of his convictions. If more of the so-called "spiritual advisors" would do likewise, maybe the thoughts of the Recently it was announced in the papers that "The Committee of Forty-Eight" would hold its convention in Chicago. When the day of convening arrived it was found that there were 1200 in attendance. This is the highest percentage of census increase yet recorded—48 to 1200. The city has recently agreed to pave its alleys. I wonder if it is to accommodate those citizens of Anaheim who frequently use the alleys as a thoroughfare. A report states that soft drinks brought in over $60,000 to one dispenser. It looks like it takes soft stuff to bring in the hard cash. A little girl who wrote the winning essay in a recent pig contest in this county, said, as the closing remarks of her story: "I think the best kind of a pig club member is a girl, because she don't go off and play ball." This child has the male sized up at a young age, alright. It is now reported that there is a shortage of hay. Has the sun ceased to shine? The Catholic priest in New Orleans who refused to proceed with a marriage ceremony because the young woman had on too thin a waist, certainly deserves commendation for the courage of his convictions. If more of the so-called "spiritual advisors" would do likewise, maybe the thoughts of the race might be directed toward other things than "kowtowing" to animality. A headline reads: "Chinese contractors buy lumber in logs." Always thought that was the place where lumber came from. Our business in life is not to get ahead of others, but to get ahead of ourselves. To break our own record, to outstrip our yesterday by our today, to do our work with more force and finer finish than ever; this is the true idea, to get ahead of ourselves. A report says that the president's daughter went broke on a bus. That is better than the bus going broke on you. In a recent motorcycle "hare and hound" race, slips of paper were deposited along the route by the "hare" to represent the "hare's" tracks. When the "hound" came on the scene the wind had already blown the small pieces of paper away. This looks like someone not learning a rudiment in physics. Those good-lookingers who make themselves good-lookingers by the use of powder and paint, are not really good-lookingers after all, because, if they had good-lookingers they would see that they are not good-lookingers. It's a case of the brought in over $80,000 to one dispenser. It looks like it takes soft stuff to bring in the hard cash. A little girl who wrote the winning essay in a recent pig contest in this county, said, as the closing remarks of her story: "I think the best kind of a pig club member is a girl, because she don't go off and play ball." This child has the male sized up at a young age, alright. After all, even the social purists will admit that electricity is more shocking than the rachest burlesque. Spend and the world goes with you; thrift and you thrift alone. No matter what Mr. Bryan may think about the candidates, he sees the silver lining in all political clouds. Should gas shortage continue till after election, maybe people will be at home long enough to study the initiative measures on the November ballot. Spots That Are Not Beautiful in Anaheim One method whereby Anaheim could be helped on to becoming "The Interior City Beautiful" is for a law to be enacted requiring contractors who use the vacant lot adjoining the one on which they are erecting a building, to clean up that vacant lot, to leave that vacant lot in as good a condition, when they are done with their work, as they found it. By walking or riding east on Center street, as one approaches Olive street and looks southward, one gets a view of a vacant lot that is decidedly obnoxious to a well-ordered eye. On this lot is a contractor's mortar mixing box and various other refuse that is the aftermarth of the erection of a new building. These unsightly objects are ANAHEIM GAZETTE the "crumbs" from the erection of the building on the lot west of this one in question. If there had been a city ordinance requiring lots temporarily being used by contractors to be cleared and cleaned up after the lot ceased to be of use to the contractor, the unsightly vista would not be a fact. The dwelling and improvements on the lot next south of the one in question is very picturesque and pleasing to the eye. But, the full 100 per cent of the beauty of that dwelling and its setting is much marred, because of the discordant "eye sorces" the eye has to travel over to view it. If all the building refuse had been removed and the lot leveled off to its virgin soil, the panorama from Center street would be a delight to the eye. We like to dress beautiful; we like to live in a beautiful home; we like our house to be surrounded by well-kept grounds; we like to ride in as nice a car as we can afford; yet, we will tolerate the dirty lot next door to us. We have campaigns to prevent the spreading of disease, by instituting sanitary measures, but we are not yet civilized to the point where we can see that unsightly and inharmonious places are unclean and unsanitary to the mind. We clean our bodies; we like to have our associates clean in body; but, yet we don't care if the next lot does not inspire the mind through the vision of the eyesight. Let's leave this corner of Olive and Center streets. Let's turn our auto "right about face," and go westward on Center street. We pass several vacant lots that distort the view of the thinks he is a business man will get up in the morning from an advertised mattress, shave with an advertised razor, take off advertised pajamas and put on advertised underwear, advertised hose, shirt, collar, tie, seat himself at the table and eat advertised breakfast food, drink advertised coffee or substitute, put on an advertised hat, light an advertised cigar, go to his place of business in an advertised car, and then turn down advertising on the ground that advertising doesn't pay? Isn't it funny? A Downtown Park Out of Date The city has recently realized that the purposes of the municipal camping park have been misconstrued and abused. Likewise, if the city establishes a downtown park, it will realize AFTER the project has been established, that it is being used continuously by a certain few of the downtown habituates. It will also discover that scarcely ever will a woman or a young woman be seen in the park other than when some special event is going on. You see, a "downtown park" in any city, in this day, age and generation, only serves a fraction of half the people—men folks. This assertion can be easily proven upon investigation in most any inland city or town in Southern California. A city-edge park is the only practical public recreation spot these days. Cheer Up, the War Is Over! Just because you don't believe as I do; just because I don't believe as you do; just because you don't see things my way; just because I don't see Damages totalling $10,651.14 are sought in two actions on file in the Superior Court in which H. C. Wiley and his wife, Maude Wiley of Fullerton, are suing Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Cole of Buena Park. The two damage actions are the result of an automobile accident on the county highway south places are unclean and unsanitary to the mind. We clean our bodies; we like to have our associates clean in body; but, yet we don't care if the next lot does not inspire the mind through the vision of the eyesight. Let's leave this corner of Olive and Center streets. Let's turn our auto "right about face," and go westward on Center street. We pass several vacant lots that distort the view of the rest of the well-polished business district. There is one lot in particular that is not a credit to a certain department of the city government. It is a small lot on the south side, between two buildings. On this lot is the hose drying rack of the fire department. Around all sides of this rack are all kinds of weeds, rubbish, and other debris. If all this stuff were hoed off down to the virgin soil, it would not be so distasteful to the eye—of a beauty eye. (Like mine, fo'nstance.) Let's continue on, westward. We have now reached the intersection. With one exception, our view from our last stop, has been agreeable. As we look north on Los Angeles street, and then south on Los Angeles street, the sights that meet our vision are not discordant. Very good. Let's proceed west. We have now reached the corner of West Center and Lemon streets. As we look westward from this point, northward and southward, there is no thing in particular that irritates a well-ordered, artistic eye. All right! Now, let's turn south on Lemon street. Ouch! As we get to the south edge of the Valencia building we are disturbed. The inward niceties of our minds are insulted, because we behold an ughly panorama of disorder. All kinds of delapidated sheds, rubbish and refuse are much in evidence. As we get to the alley, we look eastward, and we see a most disorderly backyard district. As we pass the filling and bus station grounds we will have to admit this "art?" center is no credit to anybody. How much better the Standard Oil company's filling station grounds appear than does this monstrosity of a public gathering place. Rubbish and litter are plentiful along the edges of this lot. No method of a desire to make the place presentable is in evidence. As in all criticisms I make, I mention a "way This assertion can be easily proven upon investigation in most any inland city or town in Southern California. A city-edge park is the only practical public recreation spot these days. Cheer Up, the War Is Over! Just because you don't believe as I do; just because I don't believe as you do; just because you don't see things my way; just because I don't see things your way; just because you don't go to the same church as I do; just because I don't go to the same church as you do; or just because we neither of us go to church at all; is no reason why we shouldn't smile. There seems to be a tension, a distrust of the other fellow, in the air. Loosen up, smile, the war is over; no need to hate the other fellow, now. Just because some one may be in the same business as you, smile just the same. A lot of people are running around with "long faces." What's the matter? I, for one, don't propose to be sourful just because somebody is making more money than I, just because someone has a better job than I have, just because "my friend, the enemy," my competitor, is undercutting the price to get business. Why should I worry? In athletic and political contests the loser congratulates the winner. Why not employ the same amiable feeling in business life, in social life, in the workshop, anywhere and everywhere? What difference does it make if I have better clothes than you, or you have better clothes than I? Let's smile, anyway. What difference does it make if one of us is more handsome than the other? Let's emile. Should you ride and I walk, or I ride and you walk, why worry? Let's smile. Even should your business be a "geentell" one, and mine a dirty one, or vice versa, what difference does it make? Let's smile. Just because we each conduct ourselves according to our own understanding of life, is no reason why we should not smile: "Go to it, boy, I wish you well!" Let's say it in our hearts to our competitor. There is room for us all in the world. The Divine Intelligence will see to it that we are provided for. Damages totalling $10,651.14 are sought in two actions on file in the Superior Court in which H. C. Wiley and his wife, Maude Wiley of Fullerton, are suing Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Cole of Buena Park. The two damage actions are the result of an automobile accident on the county highway south of Buena Park on August 10, 1919, in which it is alleged Mrs. Wiley was seriously injured. One of the actions is for personal injuries sustained by Mrs. Wiley and for which $10,253.95 is sought. The other action is for damage to the Wiley automobile, the amount being $397.19. The complaint alleges the accident was due to careless and reckless driving and negligence on the part of Mrs. Cole who was operating the Cole machine. The plaintiffs are represented by Attorney Clyde Bishop of Santa Ana and David R. Faries and John R. Berryman, representatives of the legal department of the Automobile Club of Southern California. REAL ESTATE SALES That good citrus property is still changing hands at $5000 an acre is evidenced by the sale Wednesday by E.C. Rundstrum of his thirteen acre grove to S.C. Lehmer for $65,000. The sale was made through the agency of Ross brothers at Anaheim. The tract is located four miles southwest of Anaheim. There are no building improvements on the property, the consideration being based entirely on the land and orchard. The buyer is a man of wide experience in citrus growing in Southern California and he made the purchase purely as an income investment. Another sale at Anaheim was the purchase of the bungalow courts on South Philadelphia street by Fred H. Schneider from Frank E. Florey of Long Beach. Florey formerly resided at Anaheim and bought the courts about five months ago from the Anaheim Improvement company. The deal was handled by the Henderson Realty company. There are four double bungalows yard district. As we pass the filling and bus station grounds we will have to admit this "art?" center is no credit to anybody. How much better the Standard Oil company's filling station grounds appear than does this monstrosity of a public gathering place. Rubbish and litter are plentiful along the edges of this lot. No method of a desire to make the place presentable is in evidence. As in all criticisms I make, I mention a "way out." By simply hoeing off all weeds, rubbish and litter the lot will look more tidy. As to the backyards of the hotel building, and other buildings to the east of it, a "way out" would be to erect high board fences to the alley line, and along the alley line eastward. This fence would cover up much of the accumulation that seems to be a necessary adjunct to modernism of money making. Don't say this can't be done. It can. It is being done, right here in Anaheim. Let's speed back to Center and North Claudina streets. Look northward. The immediate present view is acceptable, isn't it? Pleases the eye? See how well, how delightfully pleasing the Boston bakery has fixed up their backyard. Not a bit offensive, is it? Notice the backyard of the grocery across the street form the bakery. It is also done up in fine shape. If all the back business yards that are in direct view of the street were fixed up as the Boston bakery and the grocery store backyards, this little burg of Anaheim would surely deserve the title of "The Interior City Beautiful." Boy, page Anaheim Chamber of Commerce! Advertise Your Own Goods Isn't it funny that the man who versa, what difference does it make? Let's smile. Just because we each conduct ourselves according to our own understanding of life, is no reason why we should not smile, is no reason why we shouldn't say: "Go to it, boy, I wish you well!" Let's say it in our hearts to our competitor. There is room for us all in the world. The Divine Intelligence will see to it that we are provided for. Cheer up, gentlemen, cheer up! Just because you win and I lose, or vice versa, what difference does it make? Let's smile, anyway. At best, the human mind and its vagaries, are one great question mark, one great "much ado about nothing." Smile, anyhow. Just because one loses in an endeavor, is no reason not to smile. It is better to have tried, than not tried at all. The man that doesn't make any mistakes is the man that doesn't do anything. Try, even if you should lose. The glory is in the trying, not in the success. Smile! I should worry if your shoes are shined or not. I'll smile at you, anyhow. You're not the shoes, you're not the clothes you wear, you're not the "flesh, bone and hank of hair." You are you, the Man that dwells within the human mechanism. "Life is one darn thing AFTER another," so, let's get AFTER the smiles. Don't let them get away. Get after them, and capture them. Let's get the habit of smiling. If a person does a good turn, smile at him; if he does a bad turn, smile at him; if he doesn't do a darn thing, smile at him. It's good breakfast food, good dinner, and good supper. Smiling doesn't require rationing cards. The supply doesn't ever run out. All you need to do is just simply smile, smile, and smile some more. Another sale at Anaheim was the purchase of the bungalow courts on South Philadelphia street by Fred H. Schneider from Frank E. Florey of Long Beach. Florey formerly resided at Anaheim and bought the courts about five months ago from the Anaheim Improvement company. The deal was handled by the Henderson Reality company. There are four double bungalows and two single bungalows, all apartments having four rooms. The consideration was $30,000. Florey taking a slight advance over what he paid five months ago. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE First Church of Christ, Scientist, corner of Philadelphia and Chartres streets. Sunday service at 11 a.m. Sunday school at 9:45 a.m. A meeting Wednesday at 7:45 p.m., at which testimonials of healing are given. Free reading room in the First National Bank building, rooms 304 and 305; open daily from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., except Sundays and legal holidays, where the Bible and authorized Christian Science literature may be read, borrowed or purchased if desired. The public is cordially welcome. The J. E. Lemon grove and home—considered to be one of the most choicely located properties of the kind in Orange county—has been sold to Messrs. W. M. Knepp and J. E. Penfold, now of Los Angeles, and recently from Canada, the sale being made through the C B. Berger company of Anaheim. The property consists of ten acres on the paved boulevard between Fullerton and Anaheim and is highly improved with full-bearing Valencia oranges and English walnuts. Examinations Free The chiropractor's popularity is steadily growing. Why? Because of the phenomenal success to which he has attained in treating acute, as well as, supposedly incurable, chronic diseases. For the good of the profession and patients I will say that diplomas of any kind are easy to get for money, at some institutions. But state certificates cannot be obtained so easily. As to myself I possess three chiropractic diplomas, have taken a course of osteopathic technic, made diligent study of electrotherapy and hydrotherapy. Have a California state certificate and am registered in Orange county, and have practiced in Anaheim for the last two and a half years, and previously in Los Angeles. Dr. G. A. Neth Suite 4.
