Namby pamby auto driving vs. smart-alckness is a subject of vital importance which is coming up for attention i n the present anti-acident campaign being conducted by the safety bureau of the Automobile Club of Southern California. For instance, club officials say, it is neither ama, teurish nor namby-pamby always to slow down at a railroad crossing, and it is not "smart" to rush across the tracks just because they were not actually blocked by a moving train. Many of the worst accidents occur at such crossings. The safety bureau pointed out and sometimes no warning given of the approach of a train. A motorist may be right in going across, but he may be "in awful Jerry Howard, who has resided at Santa Marie for a number of years, came down a week or two ago and will remain some months.

Otto Bustler died at the county hospital Friday from hydrophobia. Some weeks ago he was bitten on the chin by a pet dog, the wound being a mere scratch. He was an employee of the Southern Pacific.

It is expected that the entire group will be completed in time for the fall school term. The total expenditure involved is expected to be $50,000. Because two cars were traveling slowly through the fog on the Anaheim boulevard, near the county hospital Sunday night, serious damage to both automobiles and the occupants was averted when the car driven by George W. Mang, of Anaheim, locked one front wheel with a front wheel on the car of W. F. Beery, of Los Angeles. The cars were traveling in opposite directions at the time the accident. The only damage consisted of badly bent front axles on both machines. When the force of seven colored men, waiters and kitchen help, struck at the Elks' cafe Friday evening just before dinner, they expected to demorize the service, cause much inconvenience to the gusts and anguish to the manager, Bob Wilson. But their effort was a failure. George Hup, the new chef, and his wife took charge of the kitchen and several prominent Elks, including Doc Barnes and Tom McPadden, donned immaculate aprons and waited upon the tables. It is reported they gave satisfactory service and pocketed a number of generous tips. Although he was believed to be well on the road to recovery, Earl House, 23, Anaheim youth, who Sunday night drank a quantity of chloroform in what was thought to have been an effort to end his life, refused to talk about the experience to attendants at the Orange county hospital, where he was confined. The boy entered a drug store at Anaheim Sunday night and purchased a quantity of the fluid, on a pretense of using it to remove a grease spot from his coat. Going into an alley nearby, he drank the contents of the vial. He was hurried to the hospital where antidotes were promptly administered. He was reported as out of danger. House came to Anaheim from Coalinga several weeks ago. But little was known of him, except that he had a sister in Long Beach. No motive was assigned for the act.

These Are The Clearance Days! = FOR ALL All and Winter Merchandise See Show Windows ALKENSTEIN'S THE FAIR GROUNDS PROBLEM With the consoling thought that half a loaf is better than no bread, the Orange county fair board was to meet yesterday to wrestle again with teh problem of acquiring a fair grounds. The board has virtually decided to acquire the north half of the proposed site of sixty-three acres southwest of Santa Ana. It holds an option on this half and also one on the lower, or south, half. The latter option will expire February 1. To exercise the latter option the fair board would be obliged to raise more than $21,000 in eight days, it was understood. Yet, losing the lower half of the grounds, the Orange county fair board would lose what was ackuowledged to be one of the most reasonable, valuable and suitable sites for the annual county exhibit. "In any event, the 1923 fair will be held," R. D. Flaherty, secretary of the fair board, declared. "It will be held, according to present plans, either on the upper or both halves of the proposed site." "Incorporation papers are being prepared for the association, and a fair manager is to be chosen at the meeting." "Various committees are working on the plans for the 1923 fair. Their first reports will be available shortly." H. E. Wahlberg, county farm advisor, has tendered a report to the board of his findings as to the success and method of other county fairs. While attending the Berkeley conference of farm advisors, he made a side trip to Stockton to investigate the situation there." UNEARTH MASTODON BONES About thirty feet underground, the bones of a mastodon that once roamed the hills and dales of Orange county "gag," made the mistake of trying his stunt on a carload of officers. Follction police, headed by Arthur Eels, marshal of the city, were riding on the Anaheim boulevard, when they noticed a tire lying at the side of the road. Suspecting a hold-up, they ranged to capture the man. One of their number left the car and pretended to examine the tire. An unidentified man emerged from the bushes, but when the officers opened fire, he fled and was not captured. A taxi driver at Huntington Beach, looking into the rear of his cab, gazed straight into the muzzle of a 45 automatic pistol. "Drive me to Los Angeles, and hurry," was the command. The driver complied. When he discharged his passenger at Sixth and Main streets, Los Angeles, the man slipped him a $5 bill. "That'll pay for your gasoline," the man remarked. "I don't hold men up for anything small like this. I play the game big." Sheriff Sam Jernigan was endeavoring to trace the rumors of the gun engagement near Seal Beach. Late Saturday he received interrogations regarding such an incident. According to the questioner, three motorcycle officers had pursued two men in a large touring car and when they refused to stop, had fired several shots, presumably wounding one of the men. 31,000,000 FARMERS The department of commerce, Washington, announces that, according to the fourteenth decennial census, the 31,614,269 farm dwellers enumerated as of January 1, 1920, were grouped according to sex and age as follows: Males, 16,496,338; females, 15,117,-931; under ten years of age, 8,138,080; 10 to 20 years 7,824,106; 21 years and over, 15,652,093. UNEARTH MASTODON BONES About thirty feet underground, the bones of a mastodon that once roamed the hills and dales of Orange county were found by workmen of the Union Pacific system near the Spadra road, where the company is making a cut. The discovery was made last week and immediately two professors from the University of Southern California hastened to the scene to take charge of the bones. Two tusks found were each over six feet long. The professors will return to seek further for remains and to investigate further. They say the bones of the animal which the workmen found were those of a species of mastodon which lived during the period between the Miocene and Quaternary period. The bones are the first of the kind found near Fullerton, it is believed. Such discoveries have been frequent in southern California, however, the professors pointed out, and as a result the University of Southern California has in Los Angeles one of the best collections of the kind in the world. Some local people think that other bodies will be found when the professors start their systematic investigation of the ground in which the first discovery has been made.

Goodcell in a half-hour speech Tuesday night addressed the taxpayers of every state in the union and also Hawaii and Alaska, through the powerful broadcasting station of the Los Angeels Times.
