"By All Means Get a Fit." F. A. YUNGBLUTH The Home of Hart, Schaffner & Marx Clothes DIRECTORS ELECTION At the annual election held by the Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday the following gentlemen were elected as board of directors for the organization: H. M. Adams, H. A. Johnston, Harry D. Riley, W. T. Wallop, Leonard Evans, H. H. Benjamin, Charles Eygabroad, J. A. Clayes, George Dunton, R. C. Berger, F. A. Backs, Jr., J. F. Ahlborn. County Engineer J. L. McBride states today that Frank Hudson, to whom the board of supervisors awarded the contract for the construction of the Richfield-Olive bridge, would begin work on the span just as soon as the contract was signed. That, he said, would be done in a very few days. Hudson will have 150 days in which to complete the bridge. His bid on the span was $44,009.80. Architect M. Eugene Durfee is engaged in drawing plans for the new Kraemer block on East Center street, adjoining the old city hall building, and is embodying office rooms to suit prospective tenants. The building will be two-story, and will have a frontage of 135 feet. There are to be four store rooms on the ground. This is to be the largest office building in the city, and no doubt the rooms will all be taken before it is built. Another scalp added to the belt of the Anaheim Elks baseball team, San Bernardino dropping the game on the Fullerton field Sunday, the score being 7 to 4. Press clippings showing how the San Berdoo were practicing and strengthening the team with the intention of defeating the league leaders were sent in several days before, but the locals were not frightened by the propaganda. Next Sunday the Santa Ana team will play the locals. Miss Anna McDermott, 81, for thirty years a resident of Fullerton and a member of the Fullerton library board since 1908, died as her home at Fullerton Friday morning. Miss McDermott was active in civic betterment and a prominent member of the Woman's club. She had been ill only a week. She leaves no family. Funeral services were held at the MacAulay chapel, Fullerton, at 2 p.m. Saturday. The Rev. F. W. Mitchell, former pastor of the Anaheim Presbyterian church, now of Los Angeles, officiated. Bruce W. McDaniel, publicity manager of the Mutual Orange Distributors, Redlands, spent several days last week in this vicinity in the interests of the monthly magazine, "Citrus Leaves," which he is editing for that organization. The Anaheim Co-operative Orange association, of this city, managed by J. H. Ritchie, is affiliated with the M. O. D. W. H. Blodgett, Jr., connected with the field department of the same organization, has also spent the last several days in this section looking over the groves. H. S. Gaines, of the Gibbs Lumber Co., Placentia reports that they have been unable to supply the lumber demands there due to the lumber shortage brought about by the marine strike. He says that the greatest bunch of business is with the oil companies, which looks as if the Placentia-Richfield district were going to have a lot of new rigs. The demand upon them so great that he believes that the company will soon have to enlarge their yards so as to keep a greater supply. Following in the footsteps of his brother, who was graduated from Georgetown university with highest honors last year, Arthur M. Bradley, of Anaheim, won two scholarship prizes offered by the university during the term just ended. Mr. Bradley is a after, is going to pay a severe penalty, if the authorities can prove it on him. Such things have happened recently, and City Manager Steward is considerably peeved. W. P. Webb has been spending a Dunham & Knipe have sold their grocery store in the Masonic building to W. C. Manspeaker, of Long Beach, who took possession Friday. They retain the plano and musical instrument department, and will continue to run it. Manual Savalla, Anaheim Mexican, was sentenced to 60 days in the county jail on a charge of vagrancy. A search through Orange County jail records disclosed that Savalla was convicted of petty larceny in 1916, again in 1917, of burglary in 1918, and was acquitted of burglary twice in 1920. The city is having difficulty in its endeavor to find three suitable citizens who will serve on the Chestnut street assessment district commission, and for this reason the work of widening the street is delayed. Each commission must give a bond for $5000, and he will receive $5 per day for his services. At least 5000 citrus trees in Orange county are killed annually by gophers. If the trees were not worth more than $25 each, and they are worth a good deal more, the monetary loss would be $125,000. This is according to county horticultural commissioner Earl L. Morris. He says there are approximately 50,000 acres of citrus orchards in Orange county and that at least one tree in every 10 acres is killed yearly by gophers. Do you know where Boromela is? We are reliably informed that it will be a well known resort some day. The city limits of Placentia, on the north, when that place is incorporated, will stop at Madison avenue, our informant says, and beyond that is Boromela. A valuable mineral well is located on the place, there is also a beautiful lake in the neighborhood, and the owner templates building a health and recreation resort. We may hear something more definite of Boromela. Frank Dyer and others have petitioned the city trustees for an alley connecting Lemon and Los Angeles Another scalp added to the belt of the Anaheim Elks baseball team, San Bernardino dropping the game on the Fullerton field Sunday, the score being 7 to 4. Press clippings showing how the San Berdoo were practicing and strengthening the team with the intention of defeating the league leaders were sent in several days before, but the locals were not frightened by the propaganda. Next Sunday the Santa Ana team will play the locals. Louis W. Bushard and John C. Cordes, real estate dealers, have filed suit against F. W. Townsend, of Anaheim, for $400, alleged to be as commission on the sale of certain property owned by the defendant. According to the complaint on file in the superior court, Townsend considered Bushard and Cordes his sole and exclusive agents. They claim that they found a buyer for the property and negotiated the deal and that they are justly entitled to the commission. William P. Webb is attorney for the plaintiff. Thomas W. Cooper, employed by the Union Oil Co., in the Fullerton field, had a narrow escape from death last Thursday. While working on the scaffold over a sumphole adjusting some pipe, he was struck on the left side of his head by the windlass and rendered unconscious. He lay there unnoticed for possibly and hour, the blood flowing freely from a scalp wound and when he slowly regained his senses, found himself lying in a precarious position, dangerously near to falling into the sumphole. He was taken to the office of Dr. Guy L. Kay, where his wound was treated and is now at his home. "Aliens of San Bernardino county are reported to be refusing to register as required by state law. Perhaps they would prefer to go back to the country whence they came, where everybody doubtless has to register and give an account of himself, every time he leaves town, enters town or turns around." Such is the editorial comment appearing in a San Bernardino paper on the new allen poll tax law County Clerk J M. Backs stated that he has no complaints of aliens refusing to register, reports the contrary notwithstanding. "Aliens of this county apparently are making no effort to dcdde the issue," said Backs. "They are showing a willingness to register It may be a different story when the lot of new rigs. The demand upon them so great that he believes that the company will soon have to enlarge their yards so as to keep a greater supply. Following in the footsteps of his brother, who was graduated from Georgetown university with highest honors last year, Arthur M. Bradley, of Anaheim, won two scholarship prizes offered by the university during the term just ended. Mr. Bradley is a son of M. J. Bradley, of Anaheim. He left the Anaheim union high school to enter Georgetown in September, 1919, and is a member of the class of 1923. The Morris historical medal was awarded him for the best historical essay: the Kidwell prize for the best examination in Newman. This is the first time a student has won tiffi's prize in twelve years. His brother, John S. Bradley, was graduated from George-town with the degree of Batchelor of Arts in 1920 and was leader of his class. He is no wattending the Harvard medical school and is taking a prominent part in class affairs at that institution. EFFECT OF HOT WEATHER ON YOUR BATTERY A storage battery holds about a quart of liquid, 3-4 of which is water and 1-4 strong acid. As the water evaporates the solution becomes stronger, which is harmful, as is also the lowering of the level. Evaporation of this water in warm weather is rapid. There is no evaporation of thе acid, says Floyd West, of the Auto Electric Maintenance Co. You do more driving in the summer, and this causes more rapid evaporation. This is really putting more heat into your battery, for electricity is heat. So—add distilled water. It needs water. Inspect your battery at least once a week or every 300 miles in warm weather. If the liquid is below the top of the plates it needs water. If the specific gravity reading (shown by hydrometer tests) is more than 1,-280, it needs water. Overcharging a battery in summer is common, for the lighting system is little used. Not so much current is required to start the car in warm weather. On long drives it is often expedient to burn your lights in the day time to prevent heating your battery excessively by over-charging. The Vesta Frank Dyer and others have petitioned the city trustees for an alley connecting Lemon and Los Angeles streets, between Chartres and Cypress. Harry D. Rilley, Studebaker agent, reports the sale of the following cars: L. M. Cavett, of Fullerton; Edward Curtis, Placentia; Jeff Page, Fullerton; Edward DeMoretz, Anaheim; K. C. and H. M. Morton, Placentia; A. C. Dibble, Anaheim; R. A. Pearson, Anaheim; J. D. Wilsey, Anaheim; Geo. W. Smith, Anaheim; C. T. Peak, Placentia; A. C. McShans, Orange; W. C. Rodgers, Brea. Miss Alice Huhn, who has been spending six months in the county jail for practicing her profession as a chiropractor, was released yesterday, her term having expired. Miss Sue Amack, who drew a ninety day sentence for the game offense, will be released Monday. Miss Amack is going to attend the national chiropractors' convention at Davenport, Iowa, in August, and one of the stunts being staged for the street parade on that occasion is a miniature Orange county jail on wheels, with Miss Amack languishing therein. It would probably add to the popularity and galaxy of this spectacular scene if Miss Bebe Daniels would accompany her and occupy an adjoining cell. The state medical board's persecution of chiropractors is only adding to the popularity of the practitioners. The board of supervisors by unanimous vote rejected a bill of $75 presented by J. E. Seale, a Fullerton undertaker, for the burial and funeral expenses of a soldier who died in the service while overseas. Chairman Talbert advised Seale to "read up" on certain county ordinances relative to funeral expenses that are to be paid by the county. Seale declared that at the time he presented the bill to the county he did not know that the government war risk insurance bureau paid undertakers $100 for the burial of soldiers who died overseas. He said that the bill was made out by O. V. Knowlton, a G. A. R. veteran of Fullerton, who is associated with him indirectly, and that he signed it. The undertaker told the board that as soon as he found that he was not justified in submitting the bill to the county he requested that it be withdrawn. The official records show that the bill was withdrawn July 6, but the board desired to know why it was submitted in the first place. Seale said that the deceased had no property of any description and that he understood that the county was to pay the expenses of the funeral in such cases. He learned later, he said, that this was a mistaken idea. Overcharging a battery in summer is common, for the lighting system is little used. Not so much current is required to start the car in warm weather. On long drives it is often expedient to burn your lights in the day time to prevent heating your battery excessively by over-charging. The Vesta battery as sold by the Auto Electric Maintenance Co., of Anaheim, are better able to stand the strain of hot weather conditions, because of the use of Vesta indestructable isolators, Vesta impregnated mats and titanium. The object of Vesta service is to help you get the greatest possible service from your battery, no matter what make it is. Customers batteries are opened in their presence and a reasonable price is quoted in advance for the repair work. The customer can then examine the inside of his battery and see just what is the matter. Every Vesta service station has complete equipment and skilled men to repair any make of battery. Drive into the Anaheim Vesta station, Los Angeles and Chestnut streets, and allow them to issue you a free battery service card and rest assured that your battery will be well taken care of in the future.

This place is henceforth to be the Butler home. The musician makes frequent trips to Los Angeles to attend to his musical activities there, but most of his time is passed on his mountain place. He has set out about 300 fruit trees on the property. Dr. Caseley, of Long Beach, is completing a house on the Aliso grade overlooking the canyon to the north. His property includes the natural stone bridge. Dr. Robert B. Sweet, also of Long Beach, is finishing a Modjeska home. His property is on the south side of the creek about half a mile above the Modjeska Inn. The home is built beneath some large spreading oaks. A group of Fullerton people have become much interested in outing cabins at Modjeska's. Dean and Blyback, who are in business together at Fullerton, have bought two lots on the north side of the road. The lots are a quarter of a mile below the stone bridge into the Modjeska grounds. Frank Moll, of Fullerton, has also bought a lot in that vicinity. Dean and Blyback and Moll have bought six housekeeping cabins there and these will be moved upon their lots. Frank McDonald, a Long Beach contractor, has bought ten lots in the canyon below the Inn. NOT FOR HER An old dame at a railway station asked a porter where she could get her ticket. The man pointed in the direction of the ticket office. "You can get it there," he said, "through the pigeonhole." "Get away with you, idiot!" she exclaimed. "How can I get through that little hole? I ain't no pigeon!""—Houston Post. If you have nothing to say and persist in saying it, in time you will gain a reputation as a deep thinker.
