On first arriving here, the family camped at a small village a few miles northeast of Fullerton, called Carlton, where the only fuel they used was the oil-soaked dirt. This dirt was cut into small blocks and burned in specially constructed stoves.

As a matter of fact the ceremonies begin this week with the senior-junior reception, an annual event of much importance, which will be held tomorrow night. The committee on arrangements, responsible for the entertainment at this affair, is a follows: Miss Mabol Roe and Miss Margaret Hampton, teachers, acting in an advisory capacity; Miss Agnes Harkness, Miss Hattle Brownlee, Miss Marcella Webber, Miss Margaret Briscoe, Ted Siems, Andrew Cook and Clifford Elliott. At this affair the seniors are supposed to hand down the dignity and the rights and privileges that were their's during the past year, to their successors, the juniors. At the auditorium Sunday evening, June 19, the baccalaureate services will be held, at which time much excellent advice will be handed to the sixty-two young ladies and gentlemen composing the graduating class. The dean of Occidental college, one of the foremost speakers and educators in southern California, has been engaged to deliver the sermon on this occasion. Following is the program: Prayer, Rev.

The senior class play, "The Gypsy Trail," which is to be given Tuesday night, June 21, promises to be an interesting entertainment. The dramatics class has been splendidly trained by Mrs. Balcomb, and coupled with their natural ability they are expected to give a splendid rendition of this delightful play. An excellent musical program will be given by the school orchestra under the direction of Prof. Earl Briggs Tozler, as follows: Overture; act 1, Camp Fire Girls; act 2, Fairyland; act 3, Good-Bye. Following is the cast of characters: Michael Rudder...John E.

This dirt was cut into small blocks and burned in specially constructed stoves. Although Mrs. Selinger's father was a high class architect and builder, he could find no employment at his trade or profession for a number years, and the highest wages he ever received up to the time of his death sixteen years ago was $3 a day. In those days he could have bought land at a very few dollars an acre, but the price was just as inaccessible as it is today, for the earning of money beyond an amount necessary to live was an impossibility. "But for all the hardships, there were many delightful things connected with pioneer life," stated Mrs. Selinger. "People were not dress crazy, and didn't find it necessary to doll up every time they went to the beach. There was a comradeship and fellow feeling that seem to have departed with the advance of better conditions. "When I was a young girl I took pleasure in walking to school, even though the distance was sometimes a mile or two, but today a bus must come along and haul the children to school, and then when they get there they must be provided with a lot of expensive apparatus for giving them exercise. No privilege that can be given the child is too great, if the child appreciates it, but pampering enervates and detracts from true worth and stability of character." PARENTAL SCHOOL IS RECOMENDED District Attorney Nelson Thinks It Would Be Good Thing Establishment of a parental school in Orange county would be a long step toward correction of conditions, now obtaining in this county, which are causing boys and girls to become delinquent, in the opinion of District Attorney A.P.Nelson, as expressed in an address before the Kiwanis club at Santa Ana. Nelson took as his subject for a brief discourse, "The Condition of the Youth of Our Community," decaling with his experience and observations in the handling of juvenile cases in the county. He declared that delinquency was not confined to boys, but that it obtained among girls as well. fronted last Friday who was under arrest being the man who the previous night, ed., and was serious hours afterward, swain and from a nervous morning, at a second positively identified ant, declaring his fidelity stamped on her would never forget other Mexicans whose custody on suspicion in his docketed in the county son and his aids wv they had the right Staley's unquestionable make conviction at matter.

Acceptance Nelson took as his subject for a brief discourse, "The Condition of the Youth of Our Community," decaling with his experience and observations in the handling of juvenile cases in the county. He declared that delinquency was not confined to boys, but that it obtained among girls as well. He cited an instance of a girl delinquent having passed as high as fifteen fictitious checks. The cause of the condition that has placed 275 boys and girls within the jurisdiction of the juvenile court, he declared he did not know, and doubted if any one could tell the true causes. "An ounce of prevention is better than a thousand pounds of cure after a boy or girl has become delinquent," said the district attorney. "When the boy or girl starts on the downward path, he or she is just as much of a criminal among juveniles as is the adult criminal among adults. "It is not restraint after crime is committed or punishment after delinquency that is of benefit—the effective work is that which will prevent them becoming delinquents." One of the great sources of delinquency is truancy at school, he said, and he believes that institution of a parental school would be effective in saving boys and girls from becoming delinquencies. He spoke in high terms of the work among near-delinquents which the Rotary and Kiwanis clubs have recently taken up. NAHEIM GAZETE Anaheim, California; Thursday, June 16, 1921 VICTIM SWOONS WHEN SHE SEES ASSAILANT MRS. P. S. STALEY IDENTIFIES EMIL CRESPIN AS MAN WHO ATTACKED HER Othen Mexicans Arrested on Suspicion Were Exonerated by the Lady, Who Declared She Would Never Forget the Face—Assault Took Place Last Thursday Night at the Presbyterian Church Corner—Woman Injured by Blow on the Head. When Mrs. Blanche Staley was confronted last Friday by Emil Crespin, who was under arrest on suspicion of being the man who assaulted her on the previous night, she promptly fainted, and was seriously ill for several hours afterward, suffering from shock and from a nervous chill. Monday morning, at a second interview, she positively identified Emil as her assailant, declaring his features were indelibly stamped on her memory, and she would never forget him. Two or three other Mexicans who had been taken in AUTO DEALERS WANT SATURDAY HALF HOLIDAY Will Ask That All Business Be Closed in County Declaring the belief that owners and employees in all lines of business endeavor in Orange county would benefit by Saturday afternoon closing through the summer, the motor car, truck and tractor dealers' craft of the Orange County Automobile Trades association, following its monthly meeting at Fulerton Friday night, was on record as favoring a concerted movement throughout the county to bring about closing of business houses Saturday afternoons through July, August and September. The proposition will be taken before the various Chambers of Commerce and Merchants' and Manufacturers' associations in the county in the hope that all merchants will adopt a general closing schedule, to be instituted in 1922. As to the auto dealers, they decided to go forward with regard to reaching a decision on a closing plan this summer. The movement may not include all cities of the county, as the decision to close will rest with the dealers in individual cities. One committeeman each was appointed for Santa Ana, Anaheim and Fulerton. Each committeeman will call dealers in his city into a conCOMPLAINT MADE THAT DRY LAW IS VIOLATED CHURCH COMMITTEE APPEARS BEFORE TRUSTEES ASKING STRINGENT ORDINANCE Members of City Government Somewhat Peeved Over Insinuations—Matter Will Be Further Discussed at Next Meeting of the Board—Birdseye View of New City Park Will Be Drawn—Bond Election Ordinance Adopted. According to a committee representing seven churches in this city, the eighteenth amendment, the Volstead law, the Harris law, the county ordinance and the city ordinance providing for prohibition enforcement are not as strictly enforced as they might be, and booze is being purchased for other than medical, mechanical and scientific purposes.

S. Staley, an employee of the Ford agency. The family have been residents here only a couple of weeks. Thursday Mrs. Staley was visiting in Los Angeles and came in on the stage arriving here at 9:16. She was on her way home from the depot, carrying a suit case, and in front of the Presbyterian church, at the corner of Cypress and North Claudina streets, she was accosted by a man apparently had been hiding behind a palm tree. "Where are you going?" he asked her. She made no reply but attempted to walk on, whereupon he grabbed her, put his arm around her waist and covered her mouth with his hand to prevent her screaming. He dragged her across the street toward the shadow of the church. By frantically struggling, she managed to free her mouth and screamed for help. He let go, struck her on the head with his flat, knocking her down, then took to his heels. Several persons heard her cries and rushed to the scene. Jock Duckworth, who happened to be near, was at her side in time to see that man running away, but could not recognize him. Mr. Staley, who had expected to meet his wife, but missed her on account of their unfamiliarity with the streets, was one of the first on the scene. Mrs. Staley was so seriously shocked and injured that a physician was summoned. For several days she suffered from the shock, but no serious effects are expected. Emil Crespin, the man awaiting front office schedule, to be instituted in 1922. As to the auto dealers, they decided to go forward with regard to reaching a decision on a closing plan this summer. The movement may not include all cities of the county, as the decision to close will rest with the dealers in individual cities. One committeeeman each was appointed for Santa Ana, Anaheim and Fullerton. Each committeeeman will call dealers in his city into a conference for decision. The committeeemen appointed were Otto Haan for Santa Ana, Harry D. Riley for Anaheim and Albert H. Sitton for Fullerton. It is understood that dealers in Santa Ana are strong for closing and that there is every probability that they will inaugurate the schedule in July. Members of the craft have the 'high jinks bug,' following their attendance at the "big doin's," at Big Bear of motor dealers of Los Angeles. The craft selected Saturday afternoon, July 23,a date for starting the first of a series of such outings. Appointment of a committee was authorized; the committee to make all arrangements, including selection of the place for holding the fun session. Chairman Robert Atkinson asked for time in which to name the members of the committee, and will announce the personnel later. Friday night's session of the craft being last for one year, Bob White was elected chairman and Charles H. McCausland, vice-chairman. Atkinson has been chairman for the past year. It is an established rule of the craft not to continue a chairman beyond one year. Robert E. Rohne and Chester Rohne, expert accountants of Lo$_5$ Angeles, addressed the meeting; the former speaking on efficiency and accounting and the latter on the income tax. Both handled their subjects in an interesting and instructive manner; their auditors gaining much good information from the discussions. Robert Rohne formerly was in business at Balboa. HOME BREW STARTED IT Over in Placentia, at about 5:30 Saturday morning there was staged in the village restaurant a lovely rumpus that will give the inhabitants of that peaceful community something to talk about for many days to come. The final round came off in the Fulerton police court during the fore- closing schedule, to be instituted in 1922. As to the auto dealers, they decided to go forward with regard to reaching a decision on a closing plan this summer. The movement may not include all cities of the county, as the decision to close will rest with the dealers in individual cities. One committeeeman each was appointed for Santa Ana, Anaheim and Fullerton. Each committeeeman headed by Judge Hemmi,the chairman appeared before the trustees Thursday night and asked that an ordinance be adopted similar to the one passed by the board of supervisors some weeks ago, covering the ferritory outside incorporated cities, or that efforts be made to more rigidly enforce the present ordinance. Members of the city government did not greatly relish insinuations that officials were not doing their duty in the matter of prohibition enforcement. Trustee Gibbs remindedthe committee that the trustees had closed saisons and liquor housesof Anaheim months before eighteenth amendment took effect,and Trustee Gates stated thatthe committee would probably accomplish moré by producing evidence that boot-legging and blind piggers were operating instead of making general accusations. City Attorney Ames was somewhat peeved overthe insinuations,sating that it was not within his province to Sherlock Holmes aboutthe city endeavoringto ferret out infractionsofthe law,and he positively refusedto do so.

Mrs. Staley was so seriously shocked and injured that a physician was summoned. For several days she suffered from the shock, but no serious effects are expected. Emil Crespin, the man awaiting trial for the assault, and who Mrs. Staley positively declares is the man, is married and has a wife and small child. He was married since his return from France, where he served during the war. He is a lightweight boxer of some local repute. He is a brother of Mike Crespin, who, six months ago, waylaid a young lady employed in one of the Anaheim stores, and brutally assaulted her. Under the skillful handling of Motorcycle Officer Carr, Mike confessed to the crime, and is now in San Quentin under a sentence that will probably keep him in prison the balance of his life. Emil was arraigned before Justice of the Peace Cox, and his trial set for Thursday, June 30. The fat Elks defeated the officers of the lodge in a hot contest Sunday before the beginning of the regular ball game on the Fullerton field, the score being five to three. There were not many thrilling plays, but W. J. Sieman, president of the First National bank, was the hero of the game. It appears Sieman was playing in center field, and in making a run for a fly he fell down and the ball landed in his hat or his pocket. Anyhow he caught it and a home run was cut off. Robert Rohne formerly was in business at Balboa. HOME BREW STARTED IT Over in Placentia, at about 5:30 Saturday morning there was staged in the village restaurant a lovely rumpus that will give the inhabitants of that peaceful community something to talk about for many days to come. The final round came off in the Fullerton police court during the forenoon, after Deputy Marshal Monty Jackson had been summoned in the early morning hours to end the war and disband the belligerants. It appeared from the testimony offered at the official hearing before Justice French that some sort of deceptive beverage which is frowned upon by the Volstead law, was at the bottom of the ruction, in the course of which the restaurant, which is operated by W. P. Stone, was considerably messed up. When the proprietor appeared and remonstrated with the night cook, Philip Carmody, whom the record shows to have been the central figure in the affair, hostilities were renewed with the result that the cook stopped a wallop from Stone's good right arm that put a sizable dent in his head. On a charge of disturbing the peace Carmody was fined $5 by the justice, a suspended sentence of 90 days in the county jail being appended as a warrant against further indiscretions. The business ended with expressions of mutual regret, and all hands went back to the job of catering to the inner needs of the Placentia public. Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Berger were in Los Angeles Sunday. WEDDING ANNIVERSARY Mr. and Mrs. George Jackson were very pleasantly surprised at their home on South Melrose street on Monday evening, when a number of the employees of the association packing house, of which Mr. Jackson is foreman, called to congratulate them upon their happy eighteenth wedding anniversary. A beautiful chocolate set was presented them in honor of the event, the presentation speech being made by Miss Nettle Aubert. Mr. Jackson replied, thanking his visitors for their gift and was visibly affected as he accepted the chocolate set, and said he would cherish it as one of his most prized possessions. A delightful evening was spent, and light refreshments were served. On departing the guests wished the happy young couple many joyous returns of the day. ZETTE Number 32 SEEING THE WORLD IN STUDEBAKER' AUTO Sydmer, Ross and Family Tour Through African Deserts Fred Ross, sales manager for Brown and Bowles, Santa Ana Studebaker dealers, has just received another letter from Sydmer Ross, of Fullerton, the Studebaker enthusiast who has been touring Africa and who is now in Europe. Ross writes that he has finished his trip in North Africa and crossed from Algiers to Marseilles. During his stay in Africa, they crossed Morocco twice, and stopped for two nights in Ondjda, Taza, Fez, Rabat, Casablanca and Morocco City. After staying a week in Paris, a trip was made to the battlefields of France. "We made a run of 1500 miles through the battlefields of France and Belgium," said Sydmer Ross. "We visited the great American cemetery at Romagne Montfaucon at which place are the bodies of 21,000 Americans. It has a splendid location and is beautifully kept. In fact, we found all cemeteries where Americans are buried well located and looked after." "We visited Bapaume, where we stopped over night in touring Europe in 1914.

We had intended to visit Ireland, but the military authorities are permitting touring only in some portions of Ulster, so we have abandoned the plan." DOING LAND OFFICE BUSINESS Miss Justine Whitney, county recorder, reports that her records for the month of May show an unprecedented business. The total number of documents recorded is 2192 and the filing fees paid for this work amounted to $3,062.70. The largest month's business previously recorded was for the month of March, 1920, when the total number of documents recorded was 2488 and the filing fee total was $2,841.60. Asked as to the character of the legal instruments recorded during the past month, Miss Whitney said that the bulk of them consisted of deeds to property. Persons in Santa Ana familiar with such matters point out that the occasionally heard statement that "real estate is not moving very rapidly" is disproven by the fact that so much of the recording done by Miss Whitney and her assistants consists of deeds. Were there but little real estate activity, it is pointed out, this fact would at once be reflected in the office of the county recorder. While the number of documents fil- Little effort was made in this city to observe flag day.

In fact, it is probable that half the population was unaware that Tuesday was the 14th birthday anniversary of the Star Spangled Banner, and that patriotic people throughout the United States were expected to honor the flag on that day by displaying it conspicuously. The Brotherhood of Protective Order of Elks, however, did not forget the day. Flag day is one of the ceremonial days of the order, and every Elk lodge did honor to the flag according to the ritual. The Anaheim Elks held their services at the high school auditorium Tuesday night, and a general invitation was extended to the public to witness the beautiful rite. Hon. Frank G. Tyrrell, of Los Angeles, a member of the order, was on the program for the principal address. Following is the program as rendered: Overture by the orchestra.

POSTOFFICE LOCATION MATTER OF CONJECTURE Samuel Kraemer Offers to Put Up a Building, It is Said. Location of the new postoffice is causing considerable discussion now, and naturally there is a division of opinion as to where it shall be situated. Westsiders would like to have it on a site not far from its present location, while Eastsiders want it moved several blocks east. There is a movement on foot now, backed by a large number of the leading business men of the city, to erect the new building on ground just east Persons in Santa Ana familiar with such matters point out that the occasionally heard statement that "real estate is not moving very rapidly" is disproven by the fact that so much of the recording done by Miss Whitney and her assistants consists of deeds. Were there but little real estate activity, it is pointed out, this fact would at once be reflected in the office of the county recorder. While the number of documents filed in March, 1920, is larger than of last month it can be accounted for in the fact that vital statistics were handled in the recorder's office in 1920. Such statistics do not now come into Miss Whitney's office. The documents handled through the recorder's office include oil leases, mortgages, deeds, real estate transfers and numerous other kinds of instruments. Miss Whitney says that the oil leases have been coming in in large numbers lately. More than 100, she says, were recorded during the month of May last. Charges for recording the leases and other documents are based on the number of pages, the amount of typewritten matter and other factors. A charge of $10 has been made recently on two or three leases, which were unusually bulky. Assemblyman W. O. Hart of Orange is temporary chairman of an organization to be known as the Greater Southern California Republican club. The club is being formed by Los Angeles men, who propose to have a representation by assembly districts, there being fifteen assembly districts in Los Angeles county and eight in the rest of southern California. Location of the new postoffice is causing considerable discussion now, and naturally there is a division of opinion as to where it shall be situated. Westsiders would like to have it on a site not far from its present location, while Eastsiders want it moved several blocks east. There is a movement on foot now, backed by a large number of the leading business men of the city, to erect the new building on ground just east of the site where the old city hall now stands, and where the new one will be built as soon after the 19th of July, as the bonds which the people are going to vote on that day, can be sold and the money made available. Samuel Kraemer, it is said, has agreed to put up a suitable building on property which he owns adjoining the Southland hotel on the west. The department's plans and specifications, however, require furnishings and fixtures for the new office, which will cost $7,-000, and as the rent whihch the government will pay is not sufficient to pay interest on the cost of the building and this additional sum, Mr. Kraemer refuses to buy the fixtures. H offers, however, to donate one thousand dollars toward the furnishings, and now persons who want to see the office located at that point are endeavoring to raise the balance among property owners and business men. We understand they are meeting with good success. The Thursday Euchre club was entertained last week by Mrs. Arthur Lewis, and during the luncheon hour Mrs. Frank Shanley gave her friends a surprise by announcing her coming marriage to Anton Schulte, of South Pasadena. The good wishes of all were extended to the bride-to-be.
