STRICT ENFORCEMENT OF VEHICLE LAW District Attorney and Automobile Club Working in Unison At a conference between District Attorney L. A. West, M. E. Metcalf, county manager for the Automobile Club of Southern California, and Motor Officers Ballard, Carr and Stewart, it was decided to continue with renewed vigor the county's campaign against motor vehicle law violators. One important feature of the renewed campaign will be the placing of warning signals at prominent corners calling the attention of auto drivers to the speed limit and muffler cut out laws. These signs are to be placed by the Automobile Club of Southern California through Metcalf and it is expected they will be ready within a few days. The signs are to be placed at North Broadway and Santa Clara avenues, West Fifth and Artesia streets, South Main street near the city limits, East First street near the city limits and also on East Fourth street near the city limits. "We are going to erect these signs and then we are going to make the outists hew to the line," said District Attorney West. "There has been too much of this violation of motor vehicle laws and we are going to put a stop to it. Entirely too many people drive through cities with their mufflers open and at an excessive rate of speed. These warning signals are going to be placed where careful autoists cannot fail to see them and when if the speeding and muffler nuisance does not stop it will be up to the officers," he said. to, unless a car passes the one in which you are driving, and you are going the limit, or close to it. But this is to be remembered: If you are traveling thirty miles an hour, no other car has the right to pass you. The law permits a speed of thirty-five miles an hour only when the road is clear. "On the other hand no motorist traveling fifteen or twenty miles an hour has the right to block the road if you wish to pass. Both are violations of the law. "These instances, of course, occur repeatedly, and drivers become careless, but if they were reported and a few licenses were revoked, it would not be long until our highways would become much safer. "We want the laws enforced, and as far as we can, we will enforce them. But if the motorists of California want reckless driving abolished, and want the laws enforced, they can assist by reporting instances of violations of the law and of reckless driving to the motor vehicle department in writing." POPULATION DECREASING AT THE COUNTY JAIL Only 438 Prisoners Handled During Past Year County Jailer Theo. Lacy, Jr., is ready to admit the world is getting better. During the last five years Lacy has seen a steady decrease in the number of prisoner at the county jail. Since the fiscal year 1915-1916, when he entertained approximately 100 prisoners, the total has steadily dropped year to year and during the fiscal year just closed he handled but 438 prisoners. Each year Lacy makes a report through Sheriff C. E. Jackson to the purchasing ed to purchase for county engine. It was ordered Paving company in excess of eight Westminister boulevard count of emergent September 1. PRESERVE The housewife serves eggs for use or advanced price self of the best nutrition.

This, of case only when chick eggs are placed in preservation of home is useless knows for certain strictly fresh. It store eggs in this JAPS MUST BE CURBED A final drive is being made in all parts of the state to obtain signatures to the initiative petition to put an anti-Oriental measure on the Nobember ballot. This measure will prevent Japanese, Chinese, and other Asiatics from owning or leasing agricultural lands in California and will otherwise strengthen the present anti-Allen land law. As the time for filing initiative petitions to qualify measures for the November election expired July 15, and as the need for more signatures is urgent, the final drive is being carried on with renewed vigor. Senator J. H. Inman, president of the California Oriental Exclusion League, declares that not more than two percent of the electors approached refused to sign the petition. In emphasizing the necessity of securing a large number of signatures Inman said: "If the initiative fails it will mean the ending of attempting to curb the Orientals in California, because the news of the failure will be sent broadcast throughout the country." Inman states that while in San Francisco attending the democratic convention, Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby was anxious to get news of the success of the initiative in California, and to learn the sentiment of the electors. "Now is the time to show Secretary Colby and the entire nation that California not only can obtain the required number of signatures to the initiative petition, but double that number. It is up to all to work hard during the closing days of the campaign." MOTORISTS SHOULD ASSIST The inspector of the state motor vehicle department cannot be every-much of this violation of motor vehicle laws and we are going to put a stop to it. Entirely too many people drive through cities with their mufflers open and at an excessive rate of speed. These warning signals are going to be placed where careful autoists cannot fail to see them and then if the speeding and muffler nuisance does not stop it will be up to the officers," he said. County Jailer Theo. Lacy, Jr., is ready to admit the world is getting better. During the last five years Lacy has seen a steady decrease in the number of prisoners at the county jail. Since the fiscal year 1915-1916, when he entertained approximately 100 prisoners, the total has steadily dropped year to year and during the fiscal year just closed but 438 prisoners. Each year Lacy makes a report through Sheriff C. E. Jackson to the state board of charities and corrections regarding the number of prisoners handled during the year. He has just completed the report for the fiscal year 1919-1920, which shows 438 prisoners handled during that time. Figures for the four previous years follow: 1915-1916, approximately 1100; 1916-1917, 947; 1917-1918, 745, and 1918-1919., 565. Of the 438 prisoners handled during the past year, 112 served their terms, 46 were released on probation, 17 were sent to state prisons, 10 boys were sent to reform school, 36 were taken to township courts and not returned, 74 were otherwise released and five were released under habeas corpus writs. Only one woman was sent to state prison. Sheriff Jackson and Lacy attribute the falling off in the numger of prisoners to prohibition and to the fact that there is plenty of work. "The decrease has been steady since booze first began to disappear," said Sheriff Jackson, "and now that we have real prohibition I look for an even greater decrease next year," he said. SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS Chairman was authorized to approve bond on map of Tract No. 120, and said map was accepted as the official plotting of said tract.

"Now is the time to show Secretary Colby and the entire nation that California not only can obtain the required number of signatures to the initiative petition, but double that number. It is up to all to work hard during the closing days of the campaign." MOTORISTS SHOULD ASSIST The inspector of the state motor vehicle department cannot be everywhere at all times, and if the law pertaining to motor vehicles is to be enforced, the drivers of cars must help according to Charles J. Chenu, superintendent of the department, who stands ready to assist in the punishment of anyone who violates the law. Motorists who come upon others who drive recklessly, or violate the law, are asked by Chenu to report such instances in writing. When two complaints against any driver are made, the superintendent of the motor vehicle department under the law, can call a hearing, and if the person complained against is found guilty of recklessness, his license will be revoked. Such hearings will be called if the department receives the complaints provided in the law. There have been no hearings since Chenu became superintendent, however, and in discussing the provision for reports, he says: "Drivers are slow, or rather negligent, in reporting instances of recklessness or violations of the law. We receive very few verified written complaints, and we hear of a great deal of reckless driving. "There is the driver who does not turn on his light as perscribed by law; the one who falls to give hand signals; the one who does not keep his side of the road, especially in mountain; the speeder and many others. "Of course speeding is hard to swear" The clerk was directed to notify the Laguna Beach company to remove fence which they placed across Foster street at Laguna Beach.

It was ordered that county park be kept open until 10 p.m. in the months of July, August and September with exception of Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, the park on these days to be kept open until midnight. It was ordered that one Ford touring car No. 9 be sold at public auction July 20 at the south door of the court house at 10 a.m. Deed for right of way from Southern Pacific company, et al., was accepted; also from J. Kenyon Lybarger." ANAHEIM GAZETTE The purchasing agent was authorized to purchase a Dodge touring car for county engineer's department. It was ordered that the Los Angeles Paving company be permitted to work in excess of eight hours a day on Westminister boulevard contract on account of emergency to complete by September 1. PRESERVE EGGS NOW The housewife who wishes to preserve eggs for use in time of scarcity or advanced prices should avail herself of the best method of egg preservation. Water glass, or sodium silicate as it is technically known, has been proved a very efficient means of preserving eggs. Water glass is usually purchased in the form of a concentrated stirpy solution which is diluted ten times its volume with water that has been previously boiled and cooled. In such a solution fresh eggs readily sink and remain submerged. The silicate seals the pores of the eggshell and this prevents the entrance of organism and largely retards the passage of gases. Therefore, oxygen is practically excluded. When the water glass is of a good composition, and the eggs are kept completely submerged, and all is kept in a cool place, no apparent change in weight, composition, or flavor should take place in the eggs for many months. This, of course, will be the case only when clean, sound and fresh eggs are placed in the solution. The preservation of cheap eggs in the home is useless unless the consumer knows for certain that the eggs are strictly fresh. It is not advisable to store eggs in this manner if more than WHITE BUS LINE, INC.

CERTIFICATE OF BUSINESS UNDER FICTITIOUS NAME I, Louis William Baggott, do hereby certify that I am now engaged in the business of buying, selling and dealing in gasoline, distillate and lubricating oil under the fictitious name and style of "Orange County Oil Co."; that my principal place of business is located at Anaheim, Orange County, California, R.F.D. No.2, Box 110; that I am the sole owner and proprietor of said business and my name in full is Louis William Baggott, and my place of residence in Anaheim, Orange County, California, R.F.D. No.2, Box 110. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 16th day of July, 1920 LOUIS WILLIAM BAGGOTT. (seal) State of California, County of Orange, ss. On this 16th day of July, 1920, before me, Roger C. Dutton, a Notary Public in and for said County, person- NOTICE TO STOCKHOLDERS OF THE SAVINGS, LOAN AND BUILDING ASSOCIATION OF ANAHEIM. Notice is hereby given that, in pursuance of a resolution and order of the board of directors of the Savings, Loan and Building Association of Anaheim, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of California, unanimously adopted at a regular meeting of said board, duly held on the 7th day of June, 1920, at the office of said corporation in the City of Anaheim, State of California, a meeting of the stockholders of said corporation is hereby called for and will be held at the office of said corporation at No. 251 North Lemon Street, in said City of Anaheim, (said place of meeting being at the principal place of business of said corporation and at the building where the board of directors usually meet), on Tuesday, the 7th day of September, 1920, at 8 o'clock p.m. of that day, for the purpose of considering and acting upon the proposition to increase capital completely submerged, and all is kept in a cool place, no apparent change in weight, composition, or flavor should take place in the eggs for many months. This, of course, will be the case only when clean, sound and fresh eggs are placed in the solution. The preservation of cheap eggs in the home is useless unless the consumer knows for certain that the eggs are strictly fresh. It is not advisable to store eggs in this manner if more than twenty-four hours old. A very good plan to follow is to take your jar or other container having the mixture in it to your poultry man and have him fill it as the eggs are gathered. In this manner you run no risk of delay in delivery. Eggs so packed can be conveyed to your cellar with impunity. Never preserve a dirty egg sinhe it will be tainted in flavor. Never wash dirty eggs, for in so doing the protective coat is removed and they will not keep. Not only should eggs be clean, sound and fresh, but infertile also since infertility adds to the keeping quality. Remember that fertile egg contains a germ which, in hot weather, readily spoils the egg for food. A stone jar or keg is a suitable container. Covers should be fitted to whichever receptacle is used in order to prevent evaporation. Containers with contents should be kept in a cool, dark place. An eight-gallon jar will hold from fifteen to eighteen dozen eggs and will require from three to four gallons of solution depending, of course, on the size of the eggs. The eggs should be so placed in the jar that those at the top are covered with at least two inches of the water glass. IN THE OIL FIELDS At Richfield, interest does not lag for a moment. The Richfield Consolidated's wildcat well that made such a great showing last week is being put in condition for production. Officials of the company are of the opinion that the water has been successfully shut off, a perforated line is now going in the hole, the tubing end rods are being installed, and the well will be ready to show what it will do in a few days. At times this wildcat has flowed at the rate of 400 barrels, the flows being made with water in the hole and not in condition to show what if might do. The Clark Oil company's Wetzell well at Placentia after standing idle for three months is started up and will drill deeper. At 4100 feet this well developed considerable water and no oil, and three months ago a well over 4000 feet deep in the Richfield-Placentia district did not look very good. With the showing that the Standard's deep Kramer wells made on adjoining property the Clark Oil company has determined to go ahead and will drill to 4500 or 4700 if necessary to get an oil well. The Santa Fe is getting quite a showing of oil in two deep wells drilling at Richfield. On the Bradford property No. 1 now drilling at 3845 feet the formation is brown shale showing some oil. Bradford brothers No. 2 is 3400 and is beginning to show some colors. The above properties are fortunate in having pipe for development work. There would be many more oil wells developing if they had sufficient pipe. There is considerable activity in the field anyway, as all o'f the properties are being placed in condition for active operations just as soon as the shortage of pipe is overcome. WOOL CONSUMPTION LESS Textile mills in the United States consumed 58,600,000 pounds of wool, grease wool basis, in May, 1920, as against 52,000,000 pounds the corresponding month last year, according to a report just released by the United States bureau of markets.

The figures are low in comparison with the two preceding months—April with 66,900,000 pounds and March with 67,000,000 pounds—and are far under May, 1918, a war month, when 74,600,000 pounds were used. The drop in consumption is attributed to transportation difficulties which confronted the mills, a slackening in demand for finished goods, and the tighter money situation obtaining the latter part of the month. In order to give the people of Orange county and vicinity more time in which to enjoy the beauties of Orange county park, the board of supervisors have made a change in the rules governing the hours during which the park can be open. Hereafter the park will be open to the public at night until 10 o'clock on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights and until midnight on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday nights. Heretofore the park has not been open to the public at night and picnickers have been forced to leave the grounds when darkness approached. This has worked a great disadvantage on persons whose only opportunity of visiting the park came in the evening, and for that reason the supervisors decided to leave the grounds open until the later hours. This rule will continue in force through the remainder of July and the months of August and September.
