The bride has been connected with the First National bank, of which her father is president, for several months where she will be greatly missed by her co-workers and the public. Parent-teachers organizations of Orange county are to be asked to cooperate with the State P.T.A. and Congress of Mothers in conducting a statewide campaign to enforce the state law prohibiting the sale and use of cigarettes to minors. The question has been discussed at a number of parent teacher meetings in this county. Last year, largely through the work done by a parent-teacher organization here, a man who had been selling cigarettes to boys was arrested. Just what detailed plans are to be made for campaigning against the sale of cigarettes to minors is not known. There is no question concerning the attitude of the P.T.A. organizations of this county. They will enter into the campaign vigorously. Thomas Muehleisen, 45, a Los Angeles inventor who is charged with having embezzled $5000 from Conrad Meusch, of Anaheim, through the alleged sale of a third interest in the patent to a water valve, was remanded to the county jail in lieu of $500 ball, and his card continued until January 27 by Justice John B.Cox following Meusch's preliminary groom is the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. J.H.

Plans for a charity clearing house to make charitable work mare equable at Fullerton Board of Trade. It was reported that some needy families were overwhelmed with Christmas charity, while others equally needy were entirely overlooked. Other worthy cases are said to have received a surplus of attention at times and at other times to have suffered from neglect. The charity clearing house, which would be conducted by representatives from various organizations engaged in that work, would spread charitable work around where it would likely do the most good. While sweeping the streets early on Monday morning, Jess Vrooman found a pint bottle leaning up against the curbing on Center Street, one-fourth full of a dark brown liquid that smelled suspiciously like whiskey, an article of commerce that was extremely popular some years ago, but is now only a fond memory. The lithograph label gave the contents of the bottle as elixir of something or other but it appeared to be powerful stuff After smelling its breath a couple of times, Jess was primed to argue politics, religion, woman suffrage prohibition, or any other subject with any man who cared to pause and dispute with him. He announced that it was his intention to keep it for a smoking bottle. Anahelm Gazette, fifty-two weeks for $1.50. Fifty years ago last Saturday, on New Year's day, 1871, every man and woman in Anaheim swore off drinking, according to the Gazette of that date, and the saloon men, finding themselves without customers, were seriously considering the advisability of closing their doors. Last Saturday, New Year's day, 1921, was also a droughty one, the customers finding themselves without saloons. Thus history repeats itself. Abe Horwitz of Brea, an insurance man well known in this county, was struck by an automobile near Brea, Thursday afternoon and seriously injured. He died a few hours later at the Fullerton hospital. C. D. Foss of Brea, was driving the car which struck Horwitz. He immediately rushed the injured man to the hospital where he died of internal hemorrhages. A corner's inquest returned the verdict of "unavoidable accident." Mr. Horwitz was the father of Miss Hannah Horwitz of this city, also of Max Horwitz, who used to reside here. George McCart, wife and small child, of Harris, Oregon, are visiting with Mr. and Mrs. Robert McKee. Mr. McCart is a banker, farmer and grower of blooded cattle, and owing to a press of business is not able to spend as much time in this vicinity as he would like. While he is loyal to his own community, he acknowledges that Orange county would strike a passing tourist as the most favored spot in the world. He and Mr. McKee were friends in Iowa before either came to the Pacific coast, but as their homes in the west are far apart, they had not met in twenty years. Thomas Muehlleisen, 45, a Los Angeles inventor who is charged with having embezzled $5000 from Conrad Meusch, of Anaheim, through the alleged sale of a third interest in the patent to a water valve, was remanded to the county jail in lieu of $500 bail, and his case continued until January 27 by Justice John B. Cox following Meuhleisen's preliminary hearing. Meusch, in his complaint, alleges that Meuhleisen had offered him a third interest in the water valve patent for $5000, and that in actuality Muehlleisen gave him a third interest in another patent which he had obtained, instead of in the water valve. Pending the accompanying of additional facts the case was continued by an agreement between Justice Cox, attorney Richardson, of Los Angeles, representing Muehlleisen, and District Attorney-elect A. P. Nelson. Mystery surrounded an unusual automobile accident late Friday night in which a large touring car was almost totally demolished at a sharp curve in the road between Fullerton and Anaheim. The only information authorities were able to secure was the name of the owner, Y. Nagashima, a Pasadena Jap. At one of the local garages it was stated that a telephone call late at night had instructed them to haul in the wreck. When the car was hauled into the Fullerton garage, the radiator was all crushed, two tires were missing, the hood was gone the top in a state of collapse, cushions were gone, the four fenders were badly bent and the windshield was shattered. It is thought the driver in making the turn was unable to see through the dense fog and missed the road. From the condition of the car it is evident that it turned over several times. "The Star Rover," Jack London's novel, enacted for the screen by a most distinguished cast, will be shown at the Grand tonight. Revealing the master story writer of the age in a tale that kindles the imagination and fills the beholder with wonderment. The greatest oddity of life is that we know least about what is nearest, which is ourselves. The unknown is not away in the limitless reaches of the universe, but within us. And a fact is this that Jack London has taken and put into one of the most searching and dramatic stories ever conceived. He has called it "The Star Rover." Also Comedy and Pathe Review. Friday and Saturday, "Who's Your Servant." will be presented. Robert W. Bigger, formerly of Santa Ana, who was arrested and charged with a felony in connection with an alleged worthless check given to S.T. "Dad" Rutherford, cigar dealer, and who was released when the check was made good by Bigger's father-in-law, who lives in Los Angeles, was taken into custody again in Los Angeles by Deputy Sheriff Charles Holbrook, charged with desertion from the navy. After Bigger's fingerprints were taken when he was held on the felony charge, they were sent to the navy bureau. It developed there that Bigger was wanted for desertion from the navy in 1917. Holbrook took him to San Diego Monday. At San Diego Bigger will be turned over to naval authorities. Tom Baxter, formerly an Anaheim printer, and later editor and proprietor of the Brea Progress, drifted down into Breckenridge, Texas, about a year ago, and started a weekly paper. A FULL HOUSE The Trahern Stock Company, at the Grand, Tuesday night hung out the "S. R. O." sign and turned scores of peepole away, who arrived after every seat had been sold, this fact carries out the prediction the Gazette made last week, that the Trahern company could fill the Grand two nights every week instead of one. The double line of automobiles on either side of the street, indicated that the surrounding neighborhood was largely represented. Anaheim "theatre-goers" are really fortunate in having an organization so thoroughly competent as the Trahern company, to entertain them weekly. "Don't Lie to Your Wife" a screamingly funny farce, was the offering last night, and the audience was kept in a continuous roar of laughter from beginning to end. Every member of the well balanced cast, responded to merited applause. The feminine members of the company wore handsome gowns and the special new scenery added largely to the artistic performance. Next Tuesday the popular Trahern's will present William Collier's best play, "Nothing But The Truth", the tickets are now on sale at Heying's Pharmacy. Anaheim looks forward each week with pleasure for the coming of Trahern night at the Grand. Four human skulls contained in a rusty tin box were unearthed Tuesday by workmen installing a cement pipeline on the property of Ray McClintock, a quarter of a mile north of Greenville, according to a report received by Sheriff C. E. Jackson. Four human skulls contained in a rusty tin box were unearthed Tuesday by workmen installing a cement pipeline on the property of Ray McClintock, a quarter of a mile north of Greenville, according to a report received by Sheriff C. E. Jackson. The box was found buried about three feet under ground. One of the skulls was said to be in perfect condition, while the others were declared to be in a somewhat decomposed state. Three of the skulls seemed to be those of adults, and one, which is smaller, was thought to be that of a child or youth. No theory had been advanced regarding the skulls at this time. Residents of Greenville stated that during the past twenty years there had been no disappearances of residents in the locality under circumstances indicating murder. Ne definite estimate was made regarding the time the box lay underground. From the decomposition of the tin, however, it was thought that the grewsome cache had been buried for a great many years. The tin box was said to be about two feet square. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE First Church of Christ, Scientist, corner of Philadelphia and Chartres streets.
