Anaheim was almost depopulated Saturday, the majority of her citizens going over to Fullerton to participate in the Armistice Day celebration, and the thousands of Anaheimers who lined the streets and saw the lengthy procession pass, were proud of the showing made by this city. Anaheim's famous municipal band was in the line leading the section composed principally of Orange county's Boy Scouts. Several floats were sent from here one representing the city, one the Chamber of Commerce, and one the Central Labor council, and while they were all beautiful and artistically constructed, there were numerous other beautiful entries, and the judges must have had a difficult job in awarding the prizes. The float entered by the Labor Council was the only one from this city winning a cup. The procession, it was estimated, was five miles long, and it required an hour and a half to pass the judges' stand. Promptly at eleven o'clock Capt. Alexander Henry fired his cannon, announcing that the procession had started, and it was half past twelve before the tail reached the point where the head started. William Gibbs McAdoo, secretary of the treasury during the war, was in an auto-mobile at the head. The Army and Navy band of Santa Monica led the first division, which followed. This division was composed of the various legion posts of the county. There are five of them—Santa Ana, Anaheim, Orange, Fullerton, Brea and Huntington Beach, and they all made a fine showing, a thousand men, it is estimated, being in line, a large percentage of them wearing the uniform which for three years or more had been laid away in moth balls. One of the interesting features in this division was a squad of six English soldiers marching under the flag of Great Britain. They were under the command of Dan O'Hanlon. The Fullerton city band led the second division, was composed of the G. A. R. of the county, the Woman's Relief Corps, Daughters of Veterans Spanish War Veterans, and the various lodges of the county. Many beautiful floats representing the several orders were in this division, and the members in marching order followed. Division No. 3 was mostly made up of schools in daily decorated floats PAIR OF SWINDLERS IN TOILS OF THE LAW Man and Woman Who Peddled Jobs Landed in Jail Orange county residents, who were asserted to have been victimized last July by W. C. Clark, alias H. D. King representing himself to be an employment agent for the Southern Pacific railroad, seeking strike guards, are asked to appear as witnesses against the man and his secretary, who will be arraigned in federal court in Los Angeles, on charges of using the mails to defraud. Clark, as he was known in Orange county, was arrested by federal authorities in co-operation with the sheriff's department of Los Angeles county, after an investigation which extended over a period of three months. According to officials, Clark and his secretary, Mrs. Harriet Hoffman, 31, established offices in the Chamber of Commerce building, Los Angeles, at the time of the railroad strike, alleged to have held forth as bait offers of wages amounting to $75 a day, the presented by Wickersheim Implement Co.

A. R. of the county, the Woman's Relief Corps, Daughters of Veterans Spanish War Veterans, and the various lodges of the county. Many beautiful floats representing the several orders were in this division, and the members in marching order followed. Division No. 3 was mostly made up of schools in gaily decorated floats and autos. It was led by the Fullerton high school band. The five American Legion floats were in this division. Some of the smaller schools had the entire enrollment in line, the Brea grammar school having fourteen floats entered. The fourth division was composed of Orange county Boy Scouts, headed by the Anaheim band. The fifth division, with the Santa Ana band leading, was made up of the county officials, the boards of trustees of the cities of the county, the women's clubs of the county, the Oil Workers' union, W. C. T. U. societies and numerous other organizations. It is estimated that fully twenty-five thousand people crowded the city of Fullerton to participate in the day's demonstration and witness the pageant. Notwithstanding the great crowd no accidents of a serious nature were reported. Following is a list of the prizes awarded by the judges: Class A—(Non contestant). Class C—1 cup for best marching unit other than Legion or Boy Scouts. Presented by M. A. Stalmer. Won by Orange county Odd Fellows. Class D—1 cup, best Boy Scout troop, to be judged on percentage present, per cent of boys in uniform, discipline during parade and marching ability. Presented by Fullerton Kiwanis club. Won by Newport Clark, as he was known in Orange county, was arrested by federal authorities in co-operation with the sheriff's department of Los Angeles county, after an investigation which extended over a period of three months. According to officials, Clark and his secretary, Mrs. Harriet Hoffman, 31, established offices in the Chamber of Commerce building, Los Angeles, at the time of the railroad strike, alleged to have held forth as bait offers of wages amounting to $75 a day, the pair procured many applications from job seekers. A deposit of $50 was demanded, to cover cost of "gun, star and other equipment," according to the authorities. The pair purported to have the authority of the Southern Pacific railroad, and conducted all correspondence on Southern Pacific stationery which it was claimed, was procured without the consent of the railroad. At least five Orange county persons were swindled, Sheriff C. E. Jackson stated. Ellijah Cackerhan, Orange, was the only one of the alleged victims whose name was available, Jackson said. Jackson has been in communication with Los Angeles and federal authorities on the subject for several weeks, and was asked to furnish the names of persons who were victims of the pair. "We cannot have learned the names of all Orange county persons who were victimized," Jackson said. "Any who lost money to this man should communicate with me immediately, that they may be used at witnesses in his conviction." King, as he is known in the Los Angeles county jail, where he is confined, is 40 years old. He was formerly a painting contractor, and at the time of his arrest was said to be living with Mrs. Hoffman in a bungalow at 1223 East Fifty-eighth street, Los Angeles. Nothing emphasizes community more on the increase in its size than three years Abernathy unpleased there were twenty-in-grammar schools are forty-five, and even as many young ideas charge for development ought to be called up.

AHEIM GAZETE Anaheim, California, Thursday, November 16, 1922 TRUSTEES PLAN NEW SCHOOL BUILDING JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL TO BE ERECTED ON THE FREMONT SCHOOL CAMPUS To Contain Nine Rooms and Will Cost Approximately $50,000—Board Announces That It Can Be Constructed Without a Bond Issue—Increased Enrollment Makes More Room Imperative—Forty-Five Teachers Employed in Grammar School This Year. Providing accommodation for the rapidly increasing school population is a problem that has for the past few years been worrying the boar dof both the high and grammar schools of this city. The completion of the new high school group furnishes sufficient room for the accommodation of the students of that institution for probably a year or two to come, but the grammar Trailers also were counted, separate from the trucks. The count was taken for four days at some of the points and for three days at others. Friday, Saturday and Monday were the days selected as giving the most representative idea of the traffic totals. The count was made for a 24-hour period. The time of the count covered days when the traffic was heaviest and also when it was probably at an average week-day rate. In almost every case the peak of traffic for the 24-hour period, as represented on a graph constructed on figures secured, was between the hours of 4 and 5 o'clock in the afternoon. The highest number of cars to pass a given place in any one hour during the count was 700. This occurred at the intersection of the Huntington Beach and Westminster boulevard on Sunday afternoon, October 1. Although the Huntington Beach and Westminster intersection had the highest point in the rate at which cars passed, the heaviest traffic total was not reached here. The count at the intersection of Lincoln road Euclid avenue, west of Anaheim, showed the greatest total amount of traffic and also the fact that this traffic was the best distributed over the 24-hour period.

The bootlegger is going to find it tough sledding in California after the 9th of December, and the householder who has been wont to keep a small bottle of liquor in his house for his stomach's sake, will find himself a red-handed criminal with the jail doors yawning for him, a thousand dollar fine hanging like the sword of Providing accommodation for the rapidly increasing school population is a problem that has for the past few years been worrying the boar dof both the high and grammar schools of this city. The completion of the new high school group furnishes sufficient room for the accommodation of the students of that institution for probably a year or two to come, but the grammar school trustees are confronted with the necessity of providing more room before the next term begins. Two temporary buildings on the Citron street grounds, containing four rooms, were erected this summer and are now occupied, but they were barely sufficient to accommodate the increased enrollment, and did little to relieve the congestion in the over-crowded rooms. This year forty-five teachers are employed in grammar schools, and many of them have more pupils under their charge than should be handled by one teacher. To meet the situation the trustees are planning the erection of a nine-room building, and M. Eugene Durfee, architect, is now working on the plans. The building will be erected on the campus of the Fremont school, and will be known as the Junfor high school building. The structure will cost $50,000, and President George W. Sloop, of the board of trustees, announces that it will be constructed without the necessity of issuing bonds. Work on the new building is expected to begin about the first of January, and it will be completed before the next term of school begins. While it will be built in close proximity to the Fremont building it is to be a separate structure entirely. The Fremont school, however, is to be remodeled, it is stated. The enrollment this year is two or three hundred greater than a year ago, and many more will be added before the term ends. Next year, if the ratio of increase holds, the registration will be two or three hundred larger than it was at the beginning of the present term. Some of the rooms now are overcrowded and should be relieved, therefore the nine new rooms will be barely sufficient for the demand. Nothing emphasizes the growth of a community more emphatically than the increase in its school population. Less than three years ago, when the Abernathy unpleasantness developed, employed in Grammar School This Year. Although the Huntington Beach and Westminster intersection had the highest point in the rate at which cars passed, the heaviest traffic total was not reached here. The count at the intersection of Lincoln road Euclid avenue, west of Anaheim, showed the greatest total amount of traffic and also the fact that this traffic was the best distributed over the 24-hour period. The highest number of cars to pass this point in one hour was 600. The figures taken at the end of the summer season, when traffic is at its height, are considered excellent examples of the average rate of traffic on county roads. The 24-hour count and the careful selection of the best representative days of the week to strike an average are other features which indicate that the figures secured may be accepted as highly representative of actual conditions. On Septeember 29 the number of vehicles passing the intersection of Lincoln and Euclid avenues, west of Anaheim, was 4088; Sept. 30, 4990; Oct. 1, 7174; Oct. 2, 4188; making 20-440 for four days. TAKING STEPS TOWARD HEALTH PRESERVATION Clinics to Be Established in County to Fight Disease Longer life, induced by better health, which in turn is maintained by representative measures. These are the steps expected to result from the establishment of a county health department, according to Miss Idabelle Durgan, county health nurse, who has had large part in the development of the county to a point where such an organization to combat disease is possible. Definite steps in the establishment of this department of public health, which is expected to cover Orange county I no complete manner, have been taken by the board of supervisors and with the appointment of Dr. W. Leland Mitchell, to take effect December 1, work is to be started. The purpose of the health department, based on plans for disease prevention, will include clinics where physical examinations will be made and such conditions as cancer, tuberculosis and kidney troubles are expected to be discerned in early stages to enable a more efficient opportunity to combat them. The campaign for disease preven. The bootlegger is going to find it tough sledding in California after the 9th of December, and the householder who has been wont to keep a small bottle of liquor in his house for his stomach's sake, will find himself a red-handed criminal with the jail doors yawning for him, a thousand dollar fine hanging like the sword of Damocles over his head, with the possible confiscation of his home to pay the fine and the costs incurred by the dry agents in prosecuting him. The Wright law takes effect on the 9th of December. For two days after election this initiative measure was supposed to have been defeated by a decisive majority, but it was discovered that an error of 24,000 votes was made in footing the returns from Alameda county. Then figures from the belated districts, such as Podunk Hollow. Squashtoown Corners and other buccolic regions began to come in, and they were all disgustingly dry. When all were in and the error had been rectified, it was found that the Wright act had carried by more than 30,000 votes. Many people; both wet and dry, were indifferent to this measure and failed to vote their sentiments, believing that it would not change the situation, as the state was pretty well policed with federal agents. In this they were mistaken, as the Wright act makes every state, county and city officer a dry agent, and gives him authority to search your premises without the formality of getting a warrant. If you have a bottle of illicit liquor on a secluded shelf, whether from the pre-Volstead days or not, your home is subject to search, you are subject to fine, and your home may be sold to satisfy the penalty, under the operation of the Wright prohibition enforcement act, which will become effective in Califoronia within five days after the official count of votes is made. The official county will be completed December 4, and the law will become operative December 9. Any constable, city marshal, police or other peace officer may enter your home and search it without a warrant if he has reason to believe that you have a pint, a quart, or a barrel of liquor in your possession, whether that possession dates from the Volstead act or before. the term ends. Next year, if the ratio of increase holds, the registration will be two or three hundred larger than it was at the beginning of the present term. Some of the rooms now are overcrowded and should be relieved, therefore the nine new rooms will be barely sufficient for the demand. Nothing emphasizes the growth of a community more emphatically than the increase in its school population. Less than three years ago, when the Abernathy unpleasantness developed, there were twenty-ten teachers in the grammar schools. This year there are forty-five, and each instructor has as many young ideas under his or her charge for development as one teacher ought to be called upon to handle. COUNTING VEHICLES ON COUNTY'S HIGHWAYS Busiest Corner in County is on Lincoln Avenue, West of Anaheim Traffic statistics giving a definite idea of the use to which Orange county highways are subjected, have been prepared by the staff of County Highway Superintendent J. L. McBride, acting on a request from the California bureau of public roads. Another count, on state roads, has been made by the state bureau. The county made by McBride was for county paved roads and will go to the state bureau to be included in the tabulation of traffic totals by that department. Five points were selected at which to take the count. All of these points were at intersections and the direction from which the vehicles approached and in which they departed was noted by the men tallying. Classifications denoted were the same as the state census, including cars, light and heavy, trucks loaded and empty, horse drawn vehicles and motor buses. The purpose of the health department, based on plans for disease prevention, will include clinics where physical examinations will be made and such conditions as cancer, tuberculosis and kidney troubles are expected to be discerned in early stages to enable a more efficient opportunity to combat them. The campaign for disease prevention will be largely educational. The prevention of the spread of contagious diseases will be made more rapid by observing and remedying the trouble in early stages. Postural correctness will be a feature, especially in schools, where the development of children physically as well as mentally is a feature of the curriculum. Dental clinics are planned to come under the direction of this newly formed department. The Orange County Dental association has offered the services of its members to assist in three clinics, for the establishment of which money is now being sought. The dentists have offered their services free, provided the equipment for their work is furnished. It is planned to place three such clinics in the county at the earliest possible date, to operate through the public schools. One of the clinics will be in Santa Ana, another probably in Anaheim and a third in Fullerton. Finances for the establishment of the health department have been accounted for. The county, through the supervisors, has contributed $5000 to this work. The Rockefeller foundation contributes $2500 a year additional in the form of the health nurse with automobile provided and expenses paid. Health questions in the county will come before a board of health, especially appointed for that purpose. Effective in Califoronia within five days after the official count of votes is made. The official county will be completed December 4, and the law will become operative December 9. Any constable, city marshal, police or other peace officer may enter your home and search it without a warrant if he has reason to believe that you have a pint, a quart, or a barrel of liquor in your possession, whether that possession dates from the Volstead act, or before. The only thing that will save you is the fact that, following the Volstead act, you filed a declaration with the federal officials giving a statement of the liquor in your possession. If you have not already done this, it is too late now. If you did not file such a statement following the passage of the Volstead act, and there is liquor in any quantity in your house or or after December 9, look out for the "village constabule." One year's imprisonment, a fine of $1000, or both, and the sale of your house to pay the fine and all costs in connection with your arrest is the penalty of dry violation provided in the Wright act. The act goes further with reference to the bootlegger, or the public place which sells liquor. The bootlegger's property may be confiscated in punishment, and the hotel that sells or wilfully permits liquor to be sold or used on its premises may be closed as a public nuisance. It looks like an arid time ahead in California. "It is love that makes the world go 'round," and hate that makes it crazy. It pays to advertise everything but your faults. Others will advertise these for you.

J. Dubbel arrived at his home in Santa Marie Saturday after an absence of several months, most of the time being spent at Rome. He came down to Anaheim Monday to greet his large circle of friends here His trip to the capital of the Chris-tian world was a most enjoyable and profitable one. This was his second trip to Rome, having paid a visit to that city several years ago. Shortly after his arrival he was granted an audience by the pope, and was privileged to meet His Holiness face to face. One of the sights that most impressed him, he states, was Mount Vesuvius in action. The ancient volcano was vomiting smoke and fire while he was at Naples, and the scene was a most impressive one. Of course, the eruption was not as violent as it was some two thousand years ago when Pompeii was destroyed, but the column of smoke ascended three hundred feet before spreading out in umbrella shape, and at night the column was lurid with flames. Stones almost as large as a man's head were helched forth.

Stones almost as large as man's head were belched forth. The eruption was not sufficiently violent to be alarming to the natives, who are accustomed to the sight, but it was a most impressive spectacle to the strangers. Father Dubbel's friends were greatly pleased to welcome him home again. MOVEMENT STARTED TO PROTECT INVESTORS Trustees Will Be Asked to Squeel Out-of-Town Salesmen Twelve hundred thousands of dollars has gone out of Anaheim into investments of questionable character at various times in the past year, according to a statement issued Tuesday morning in the offices of the Anaheim Retail Merchants' association. "It is a well known fact that Anaheim is a rich city," the statement reads, "that wealth vests in many of the people who call Anaheim their home. That many of this city's citizens have been unhappily influenced to invest in oil companies and land companies with oil prospects, is well known, but there are thousands upon thousands of dollars being given into the tills of oil and land companies and other investment companies that have no good reason for existence,and therefore, the money invested in their stock is worthle. "The Anaheim Retail Merchants Protective association, with the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, will present to the city council this month, a group of suggested changes in the occupation or license tax ordinance enacted August, 1920, and among the suggested additions to this ordinance is a section dealing with the so-called oil and oil land syndicates that operate in this city or have operated or propose to operate here." "People who lose money in these oil and other uncertain deals," said one member of the license tax committee of the Anaheim Retail Dealers' Pro- Anaheim's five citrus packing houses are closing the season with a very gratifying showing, notwithstanding the extraordinary cold snap of last January, which cut short considerably California's output for the year. There was some damage to the fruit in this region, but in comparison with the foothills and other sections we fared exceedingly well. Notwithstanding the freeze, almost forty thousand cars of citrus fruit have been shipped from California this year. Shipments of oranges reached a total of 29,593 cars, and of lemons 9926, making a total of 39,493 cars. The California Fruit Growers' exchange handled more than 68 per cent of this fruit. Shipments made by the exchange were 18,581 cars of oranges and grapefruit, and 8657 cars of lemons. The crop this season would have been the largest in the history of the industry had it not been for the three-day freeze last January. Early estimates indicated an unprecedented crop, but the frost damaged the fruit and curtailed the output more than 50 per cent, it is estimated. Only 49 per cent of the estimate was packed and shipped from the state. All the frozen fruit was eliminated, consequently the California orange maintained its high standard on the market, and commanded a good price. "The successful handling of emergencies of this kind is possible only because a large percentage of the producers are working together whole-heartedly for the best interests of the industry." said General Manager Dezell. Through the confidence inspired by the action of the shippers in protecting the trade and public alike, it was possible to market the remaining crop at very satisfactory prices, the difficulty being that the returns were not evenly distributed—some growers being able to ship little fruit following the freeze, while others whose groves were situated in districts where the temperatures were not so severe, or who successfully protected their crops by orchard heating received large returns because of the greatly reduced supplies." The lemon crop was much less harmed than the orange, because frost was not so prevalent in the sections where lemons are grown and became less susceptible to disease. within five days count of votes is county will be for 4, and the law have December 9. by marshal, police may enter your without a warrant believe that you it, or a barrel of session, whether goes from the Volthat will save you is driving the Volstead preparation with the using a statement of possession.

At the present rate of sale for this group of suggested changes in the occupation or license tax ordinance enacted August, 1920, and among the suggested additions to this ordinance is a section dealing with the so-called oil and oil land syndicates that operate in this city or have operated or propose to operate here." "People who lose money in these oil and other uncertain deals," said one member of the license tax committee of the Anaheim Retail Dealers' Protective association, "seldom tell of their unfortunate selection of investment securities. They swallow the experience, and that is all that is ever heard of it. We propose to secure legislation by the city trustees that will protect the people from such unwise investments. As one man puts it, if the oil lands or oil syndicates were valuable, the general public would have little opportunity to get in on them." The new license tax ordinance outline will be presented to the council during the latter part of the month and it will deal very largely with the so-called transient merchants and solicitors. "The merchants and business men," according to one prominent member of the Chamber of Commerce and merchants' organization, "have some local rights, and that is all this committee is going to ask of the council." MORE WALNUT THIEVES Seventy sacks of number one soft shell walnuts were stolen by thieves with a motor truck, who gained access to the packing house of the San Juan Capistrano Walnut Growers' association at San Juan Wednesday night according to a report to the office of Sheriff C. E. Jackson, by C. A. Vanderleck, secretary of the association. At the present rate of sale for this group of suggested changes in the occupation or license tax ordinance enacted August, 1920, and among the suggested additions to this ordinance is a section dealing with the so-called oil and oil land syndicates that operate in this city or have operated or propose to operate here." "The lemon crop was much less harmed than the orange, because frost was not so prevalent in the sections where lemons are grown and because lemons are better-protected. The fruit picked after frost was 64 per cent of the quantity originally estimated to be shipped. California shipped 9926 cars of lemons for the year ending October 31, compared with 11,805, the general manager stated. The returns for exchange shipments, f. o. b. cars, California, for the year ending October 31, 1922, were $48,647,800.25, the delivered value in the markets being $65,367,127.65. For the season's citrus crop, based on exchange results, California received $71,366,464.50, the delivered value being $95,993,485.58 for freight and refrigeration. class of walnuts, the 70 sacks included in the loot were valued at approximately $1012. Class one soft shell nuts are quoted at 22 cents a pound. Entrance to the packing house was made by forcing a door and lock with a crowbar*. The truck was then parked near by and the sacks carried out and loaded. All of the sacks are marked with the diamond brand of the association and dealers have been requested to watch for the appearance of the sacks and nuts if the thieves endeavor to dispose of them. Officers are working on the theory that an effort will be made to sell the nuts and police in various southern California cities have been notified and warned to watch for the appearance of the sacks.
