BALBOA BATHING GIRLS ATTRACT GREAT CROWDS Thousands See the Parade at the Beach Town Sunday. Twenty to twenty-five thousand people Sunday afternoon viewed the parade of bathing beauties at Balboa Beach, according to estimates made by parties who were at the beach. There were twenty-seven of the "beauties" and each and every one of them was a real beauty, in the opinion of George A. Edgar, of Santa Ana, who was one of the judges. Attired in the latest of bathing suit creations in colors that were not only dazzling, but beautiful, the "mermaids" in automobiles paraded the streets of the popular resort. Under the immediate direction of Madame La Rue and led by Jewel Pathe, the butterfly girl, the women marched down from the pavilion over stairs that were strewn with flowers, with movie cameras working overtime in absolute registration of every movement of the fair ones. At the foot of the stairway the bathing girls took positions in seven Elgin six automobiles which were driven through various streets, and over the board walk on the ocean front. The girls sat on the backs of the rear seats of the machines. They were given vociferous applause as they passed through the throngs of people gathered from all parts of southern California, some to witness the parade, some to get a breath of ocean air in relief from the heat of the interior. The judges, among whom were J. H. Clark, E. J. Louis, George A. Edgar, H. H. Humphreys, E. E. Richardson and William Jeffrey, were stationed on the landing of the stairway leading from the pavilion and the girls passed before them twice and then were halted on the steps that the judges might make a more critical examination of the suits and comparisons for judging smiled. "We had quite a bit of fun Sunday while we were looking for the camp site. Doctor Horton tried to do a Daniel Boone over one of the creeks, but it came near being an Annette Kellerman. He tried to leap over the creek in the approved style of grasping the overhanging limb of a tree. Somehow he misjudged the distance and instead of landing on his toes, he came down on his heels. "He was in an awful fix—teetering there—half over and half yet to come. The expression on his face as he gazed upward and thought of the wetting he would get if he slipped was too much for us. Instead of springing to the rescue in the approved scout fashion those staid Boy Scout committeemen laughed until the tears rolled down their cheeks. "No, he didn't fall in," and Hedt sighed. COUNTY MAKES IMPRESSION ON MIND OF EASTERNER Was Pleased With Clean and Prosperous Looking Anaheim An eastern tourist, who signs himself E. W. W., in the automobile section of one of the morning papers of Los Angeles last Sunday, gave a glowing account of his impressions of the southland, following an auto tour covering a trip through Orange county to San Diego and return to Los Angeles by way of Riverside, the Santa Ana canyon, Anaheim and Fullerton. He dedeclares that he had been told in the east that Los Angeles had nothing back of it but a tourist crop. He found conditions very different from what he had expected, and asserted that the southland is a wonderland in production and all the resources that build an empire. Concerning his impressions of Orange county points, he wrote as follows: It was ordained heretofore hail with reference district No. hereby abanPlans, speed presented by his recommenment of three third road on the board. some to witness the parade, come to get a breath of ocean air in relief from the heat of the interior. The judges, among whom were J. H. Clark, E. J. Louis, George A. Edgar, H. H. Humphreys, E. E. Richardson and William Jeffrey, were stationed on the landing of the stairway leading from the pavilion and the girls passed before them twice and then were halted on the steps that the judges might make a more critical examination of the suits and comparisons for judging the prize winners. First prize, $25 in cash, went to Jewel Pathe, the butterfly girl. Her suit of batik with butterfly designs of gold and blue was "catchy." Beach cape wings set the garb off toadvantage and made it a beautiful creation, declared the judges. The suit was of athletic pattern. Second prize was awarded to Billie Mumford. It was a silver loving cup. She wore a Spaulding suit. When Bonnie Adair appeared before the judges to accept third prize, many in the crowd shouted that she should have been awarded first. That she had made a hit with the throngs was evidenced by the applause that greeted her when she stepped forward. She wore an Annette Kellerman suit, in purple, trimmed with gold, and in her hand she carried a fishing rod with a gold fish dangling at the end of the line. Little Dorothy Morrison, mascot, who headed the parade, was given a special prize by the judges. Each participant was given a prize of some character. BOY SCOUTS' CAMP Bixby ranch, Santiago canyon, will be the site of the summer camp of the Boy Scouts of Orange county. Dr. J. E. Waters, of Anaheim; S. J. Cornell, Dr. M. A. Patton and Dr. Roy S. Horton, of Santa Ana, composed the committee, which with Scout Executive E. E. Heldt, made a tour of various sites Sunday, when the selection of the site was made. C. A. Vance, of Tustin, also a member of the committee, was unable to join the party. Proposed sites for the camp viewed by the committee included places in Santa Ana canyon, Modjeska's, and Trabuco canyon. "Bixby was chosen," said Heldt, "because it is most centrally located, and comes nearer to being an ideal site than others we viewed." "The site is within a short distance by way of Riverside, the Santa Ana canyon, Anaheim and Fullerton. He dedicates that he had been told in the east that Lo Angeles had nothing back of it but a tourist crop. He found conditions very different from what he had expected, and asserted that the southland is a wonderland in production and all the resources that build an empire. Concerning his impression of Orange county points, he wrote as follows: "Surely this Huntington Beach looks as if it would be a western Tampaico, for here everybody was most active. Oil wells were everywhere and it was particularly pleasing to note the beauty of this little Pacific city, laid out with concrete sidewalks, paved streets, lawns and flowers—a city built for the future and that future almost upon it. How different from most of the oil booming towns of Oklahoma and Texas, where oil is the only interest, surrounded entirely by muddy or dusty streets and ill-looking shacks! From Huntington we motored to Santa Ana, another busy city manifesting its civic pride in the paving of its main streets. We continued south to San Juan Capistrano. "From the Mission Inn, Riverside, we went out through Magnolia avenue, a sight that will gladden the eye and cheer the heart of all who see it, through Corona and down through that beautiful Santa Ana canyon along the Santa Ana river. "It was here particularly that myself and associates began to realize the substantial advantages that are destined to make of southern California one of the world's richest empires. "We could not help but be impressed with the remarkable fertility of the soil, from which splendid orange groves derived their sustenance. For miles and miles we passed these groves, cared for with the minute attention that a fond mother gives to her child, and across the river on the rugged hills were long stretches of oil wells which we were told was a part of the oil industry which produces practically three hundred million dollars a year. "I have motored from Buffalo to New York, through the Mohawk valley and through the thriving industrial smaller cities of upper New York, but I have never seen anything which so completely aroused enthusiasm and encourages respect for a substantial future as this ride through the Santa Ana canyon." Proposed sites for the camp viewed by the committee included places in Santa Ana canyon, Modjeska's, and Trabuco canyon. "Bixby was chosen," said Heidt, "because it is most centrally located, and comes nearer to being an ideal site than others we viewed." This site is within a short distance of practically every point in the county, with the exception of La Habra and San Juan Capistrano. Boys can ride to the camp by bicycle or even hike. The camp will be situated on a tableland, which means good drainage. It means a place for signal practice, and is ideal for botanical and other nature studies. "We will begin camp construction about July 5. Camp will open July 18, and will be of two periods of two weeks each. The period fee is $6. A boy may come to the camp for one week for $3, but not for any time shorter than a week. "A concrete dam will give proper depth for the swimming pool. Cabins will be built on the tableland. Also we will include shower baths in the equipment. "It is expected that 200 to 250 boys will take advantage of the camp. This, as the first summer camp of the Orange County Boy Scouts, will give opportunity for further unifying of the county organization. "I'll training programs will keep the boys busy. These programs will include the various scout tests in signalling, woodcraft, first aid and the many other things which help the scout to win his merit badges." "I guess that's all." Then Heidt wells which we were told was a part of the oil industry which produces practically three hundred million dollars a year. "I have motored from Buffalo to New York, through the Mohawk valley and through the thriving industrial smaller cities of upper New York, but I have never seen anything which so completely aroused enthusiasm and encourages respect for a substantial future as this ride through the Santa Ana canyon. "We were pleased with Anaheim—it was so clean and gave one such a respect for the civic pride of its people. Through the eastern smaller cities there are shacks and every evidence of the poverty of the people, while the poorest homes in these beautiful southern California towns show evidences of prosperity and contentment and a pride that speaks so well for the intelligence of the home maker. It may be well said there are no poor in southern California; at least we saw no evidence of it. "At Fullerton we saw a century plant in blossom. Some one told us that this plant blossoms but once in its lifetime of one hundred years." SIMPLE DEDUCTION "Now, tell me the truth," said the fussy old lady to the corner mendicant, "are you really blind." "Yes, ma'am," said the beggar. "What is this I am about to give you?" "A nickle, ma'am." "Ha! If you are blind, how do you know it's a nickle?" "Because, ma'am, I never get more than a nickel out of people like you."—Birmingham Age-Herald.

Plans, specifications and profiles, as presented by the county engineer, with his recommendations, for the improvement of three miles of Ball road in the third road district were adopted by the board. Notice for bids for doing fairly well, despite the drouth, according to Davenport. "There was absolutely no rain in Mexico this winter and the result is that thousands of cattle are dying off through lack of sufficient feed on the ranges to maintain them," says Davenport. "Cattle have eaten the bark off of trees in their hunger until the forests have been more or less devastated. The condition is deplorable and will grow worse as the summer advances." With sombrero, khaki trousers and shirt and real Mexican cigarettes Davenport today looks the typical cowboy as pictured in western drama. AIRPLANE LICENSE Have you made application for your state airplane license yet? Sounds foolish, but some day soon it will be as old and as troublesome a story as getting the auto license. Already Charles J. Chenu, superintendent of the state motor vehicle department is worrying over the appointment of a chief for the department's "hangar division." The hangar division will have charge of all aircraft as provided under a bill adopted by the recent legislature. Under the law every civilian aviator in the state, must be licensed. The license plates, obtainable on regular application similar to that for automobiles, will be issued only to those who have passed an examination equal to that prescribed by army and navy flying divisions. Army aviators will be asked to assist the department in conducting the examinations. No person under 19 years of age will be given an operator's—or rather pilot's—license. The fee for the examination not less than $25. Numbers on the license plates must be at least three feet in height—for the convenience of aerial traffic cops. from the meeting and Supervisor Edward was elected chairman pro-tem.

FRUIT PROBLEM SOLVED BY WATER SHIPMENTS Many Carloads Sent East Resulting in Vast Savings in Transportation Having shipped 225 carloads of oranges and lemons by water to the Atlantic seaboard and European ports since January 1, the California Fruit Growers' Exchange has apparently solved the high railroad rate problem. By sending fruit to market through the Panama canal the exchange is saving 60 cents per box on lemons and 70 cents per box on oranges. On 131,-737 boxes of citrus fruits which have been shipped by water this year the associated growers have saved $83,-173.20 in transportation charges. The biggest shipment of oranges and lemonds ever sent anywhere by water left Los Angeles Harbor on Tuesday of last week. It consisted of 16,000 boxes of lemons and 6000 boxes of oranges. The cargo is bound for New York. If sent by rail this shipment worthless checks. "The name sounds very familiar," said Deputy District Attorney C. N. Mozley, "and I intend to search our files for a complaint against this man." "It seems to me he cashed one or two checks in this city, but we will have to check up on him." Gentry is said to have flashed a Canadian draft for $9,000 when he entered the Pasadena bank last week. He explained that he did not want to cash it because of the loss through exchange. He chatted about the weather, asked about housing office and business conditions, said he was going to "settle in the Queen City," and then—Asked a temporary loan of $50 on his personal note. He got it. After he'd left town a warning came from the Pinkerton detective agency against the men. He was arrested at El Centro Friday by Sheriff C. M. Applestill and is being held for the Pasadena authorities. Dr. Gentry is alleged to have "worked" in Santa Barbara, Santa Ana, Anaheim, San Diego, National City, San Pedro and other places. POSTER MAKES STRONG APPEAL FOR HEALTHY CATTLE Unlike most other infectious diseases, tuberculosis has an insidious way of working under cover, and oftentimes animals of the most healthy appearance are found to react to the tuberculin test, say veterinarians of the United States department of agriculture. No cattle owner can afford to live in doubt as to whether his animals are affected, they add. This point is brought out clearly in a two-colored poster published by the department, on which is shown two herds of dairy cattle. From all appearances the animals of both herds are healthy, but as a matter of fact those of one herd are afflicted with tuberculosis. The poster also shows two children—one healthy, one diseased—and the point is brought out that tuberculous animals may transmit the disease to children who drink the milk produced. The poster is a strong appeal for healthy cattle, and it is to be used extensively in the tuberculosis-eradication campaign being carried on by the department. Careful experiments in practical work have shown that tuberculosis can not be detected among animals by physical examinations. The most reliable method is the tuberculin test applied by a trained Buffalo to Hawk valley industrial New York, but which so blissful and substantial in the Santa Anaheim—for such a re-people.aller cities may evidence, while the beautiful south-evidences of it and a for the intelIt may be in southern no evil. a century one told us once in its cars." said the mer mendl-" eggar. t to give now do you get more like you."—Anaheim Gazette, fifty-two weeks for $1.50.

The poster is a strong appeal for healthy cattle, and it is to be used extensively in the tuberculosis-eradication campaign being carried on by the department. Careful experiments in practical work have shown that tuberculosis can not be detected to any great extent among animals by physical examinations. The most reliable method is the tuberculin test applied by a trained operator. Tuberculin, while regarded as the most accurate diagnostic agency known to science, is safe only in the hands o fa trained and skillful operator who is acquainted with its limitations and with the symptoms it produces in the animals to which it is applied, the department veterinarians say. MEXICAN CATTLE STARVING Cattle are dying by the thousands in Mexico from starvation, according to Roy Davenport, formerly a county motorcycle officer, who has just returned home after several months passed in that country. Davenport says he is home to stay and that he doesn't want any more of the Mexican country—at least not for a while. He went to Mexico with Roy Ballard, also a former Orange county motorcycle officer, the two being associated in the purchase of a 1000-acre ranch at Navolato. Davenport sold his interests to Ballard some months ago and following that became foreman of the San Antonio ranch, in that vicinity, a large property devoted to cattle raising. Later he went into the mines at El Fuerte. Ballard is raising hogs, and is doing New Meat Market We are now open for business in the Hartman Block at Olive and Center and invite the housewives to get our prices and inspect our meats.
