Why It Always Pays to Buy Good Shirts The majority of men pay too little attention to Shirts—they overlook Style, fit and fabrics, you should insist on the best of all three, best Style, best fit and best fabrics, and you'll find them all in MANHATTAN Shirts, Known as the Best, The Best Known because for over fifty years MANHATTANS have been built up to an ideal. We take particular pride in being able to present the new Spring MANHATTAN Shirts. "By all means get a fit." E. A. Yungbluth MANHATTANS have been built up to an ideal. We take particular pride in being able to present the new Spring MANHATTAN Shirts. "By all means get a fit." F. A. Yungbluth Home of Hart Schaffner and Marx clothes Mr. and Mrs. Simmons announce an open house on East Chartress street tonight (Thursday). All their friends are invited. Work is progressing on the rooming house being constructed at the corner of Janss and Center streets. This place will furnish homes for several families when completed. Schneider Bros. have sold the Peerless meat market in the Reuther market to Glenn DeLapp, of Fullerton. The new proprietor took charge Friday. It will be called Glenn's market. The championship basketball game between the girls team of Anaheim high school and Santa Monica high school, which was to have been played last Saturday, was called off on account of sickness. Four of the Anaheim girls were in bed with the flu. T. J. Richardson was granted permission to build a frame residence on South Citron street. Work in the city schools is hampered this week by the prevalence of flu among the pupils. The disease appears to be wide-spread, but none of the cases are serious. The domestic science section of the Ebell society met at the residence of Mrs. F. A. Backs, Sr., on Claudina street, Monday. A business session was held following a luncheon served by the hostess. The painter's union, having a half holiday Saturday, voted to devote a portion of the afternoon to painting the Christian church tabernacle. Twenty men volunteered for the work, and the job was completed in an hour and forty-five minutes. Queen Quality Three Generations of Women Know "They Fit Where Others Fail" They have found the Queen Quality trade mark Three Generations of Women Know "They Fit Where Others Fail" They have found the Queen Quality trade mark an unfailing guide to satisfaction and genuine economy in the buying of footwear— Because Queen Quality shoes are made to definite and never varying standards of excellence in lasts and patterns, in materials and workmanship. Always combining up-to-the-minute style with dignity and good taste—comfortable and shape retaining as only carefully made shoes can be—you will find a hever failing pleasure in the beauty and long service of this perfect fitting footwear. An exquisite model for dress wear, showing a clever adaptation of the ever popular Satin Pump The S.Q.R. Store ANAHEIM Thursday night burglars ransacked the home sof A. E. Christianson and W. M. Seaman on the east side. Various articles of value were taken from both places. Cheriff Jernigan was notified and cancers made an investigation, but no clews were found. The Orange Belt Draymens' association, Inc., has applied to the railroad commission for a certificate to operate a motor freight service between terminal points and intermediate points in the counties of Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside, San Diego and Imperial. Magazines of such character that they are forbidden to be sold to school children, have been secretly circulated among the students at the Fremont school, it is said. The parties distributing them are known to the police, and there will probably be arrests if the practice is not stopped. Three oil wells were brought in at Santa Fe Springs Saturday and Sunday which will add 20,000 barrels to the daily production of that field. C. C. Julian brought in a 6000 barrel well, the Petroleum Midway a 7000 barrel well and the Superior Oil company a 7000 barrel gusher. All the oil is of high gravity. Mrs. John Kellenberger entertained at the first spring party of the season at her home on South Olive street Thursday. Her guests were the Elite club, and they spent the afternoon playing cards. Mrs. Herman Schindler made high score, Mrs. Marlon Eden second, and Mrs. Max Nebelung got the consolation prize. Jack Doty ran afoul of Speed Cop "Shorty" Myers while speeding on the county highway a couple of weeks ago, and in consequence was handed ten Robert V. Jensen received a letter Monday advising him of the death of his mother, which occurred at her home in Copenhagen, Denmark, some weeks ago. (She was 66 years of age, but he had not seen her for eighteen years, but he and his family were contemplating a visit to her the coming summer. D. I. Simmons, of Los Angeles, California representative of a St. Louis stationery house, was in town the latter part of the week, the guest of H. H. Benjamin. Mr. Benjamin piloted his visitor about town and through its environments. Mr. Simmons was very much impressed with this city and the evidences of wonderful growth on every hand. Christopher C. Jenness, for many years a well known resident of this city, died at the sanitarium Saturday afternoon, at the age of 73. He leaves two daughters, Mrs. Ruth Deakins, of Santa Ana, and Mrs. Prudy Barker, of Ventura. Funeral services were held at Backs, Terry & Campbell's chapel Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Leon L. Myers having charge. Burial was at Fairhaven cemetery, Santa Ana. Rev. Loren Howe, formerly pastor of the First Christian church of this city, but now located in Pasadena, accompanied by his family, were in Anaheim Saturday and Sunday visiting relatives and attending the series of meetings being conducted in the tabernacle on South Helena street. Mr. Howe has disposed of his general mercantile business and property in Pasadena, which he has conducted for the past year,and will remove to Los Angeles soon. As the first step toward making Fullerton one of the best paved cities in southern California, a petition, containing names of half the property Jack Doty ran afoul of Speed Cop "Shorty" Myers while speeding on the county highway a couple of weeks ago, and in consequence was handed ten days in jail by Judge Cox. Jack took his medicine and boarded at the county's expense during the term of his sentence, but is now a free man again. A special committee of the assessors' association of southern California was in session the first of the week at Los Angeles endeavoring to agree upon a just assessment of oil wells. The rapid increase in the industry makes it necessary to give special attention to the matter, and to agree upon a uniform assessment. Building permits were issued in Anaheim to the amount of $363,185 in January, leading all other Orange county cities. The permits in Santa Ana for the month were $339,134, San Bernardino, $226,225; Riverside, $216,485; Fullerton, $125,200, and Orange, $38,000. Anaheim stood eighth among all the cities of southern California. A post of the American Legion, with twenty charter members, was organized at La Habra Monday. Guy Wells is commander, R. Vanderberg, first vice; Harold Peabody, second vice; Ned Bishop, adjutant; J. C. Lumsden, treasurer; R. M. Evans, sergeant-at-arms; William Smith, coonty committeeman. V. E. Stockwell has been elected as president of the Oil Tool Service Manufacturing company, B. D. McAlvay having retired in order to devote his entire time to superintending the mechanical department. J. O. Curtis was elected vice-president and Paul Bock, secretary. A. Schumacher, O. H. Renner and H. H. Armbrust were added to the board of directors. John Kellenberger is one of the men who held lucky cards in the oil gamble. He had a small interest in a company drilling at the beach, and the gusher which the company brought in some days ago yields him the income As the first step toward making Fullerton one of the best paved cities in southern California, a petition containing names of half the property owners of that place, and representing the entire western half of the city, asking for an extensive paving program, was presented to the city council on Tuesday night. No street in the city would be neglected and the streets and alleys would be one long stretch of first-class surfaced roadway. The plan is part of the program backed by the Chamber of Commerce. Rev. Todd Gilmor, formerly rector of St. Michael's church, has been elected secretary of the Anaheim Merchants 'association, O. T. Conklin, former secretary, having gone to Long Beach, where he will again engage in newspaper work. Rev. Gilmor left Anaheim several years ago. During the war he was chaplain in the army, but has lately been rector of the Episcopal church at Hanford. His numerous friends in this city will welcome his return here. Attorney W. P. Webb, representing Thomas Losey, filed suit Monday against G. E. Brookins, of the Brea Progress, asking $2500 damages. Losey declares that Brookins agreed to sell him a half interest in the Progress, that he had entered into a contract with Brookins and was working on the paper. That a month later Brookins told him to seek employment elsewhere, informing him also that he had no right to sell a half interest in the paper as it belonged to L. R. Moorehous, of the Placentia Courier. Losey believes Brookins had an offer for more money from some other party. Charged with highway robbery, an offense punishable by a maximum sentence of life imprisonment, John Campbell and Robert Gregory, who were recaptured after they had escaped from Deputy Sheriff G. E. McClellan, who was taking them to the Orange county jail from Fullerton, will be tried before a jury in Superior Judge R. Y. Williams' court March 1. Three poultry farms at Costa Mesa were plundered by chicken thieves on Saturday night or early Sunday, according to a report made to Sheriff Sam Jernigan. At the J. F. Cole place, corner of Orange avenue and Twenty-Second street, 12 chickens were stolen and at the J. W. Kennedy ranch, near by, 21 valuable hens were taken. The poultry thieves secured 23 more young roosters from the poultry farm next door to Kennedy's. With the three places visited Saturday night, the total of poultry farms in the Costa Mesa district visited by chicken thieves during the past few weeks was raised to six. Authorities are making a determined effort to check the wholesale robberies of valuable fowls from the roosts in that section. Four lads afoot, fleeing their homes in Santa Monica because they declared they could not get along at school, ended a four-day jaunt at Orange on Tuesday morning, when they hailed a police car thinking it a private machine which would give them a lift. They got the lift, but it led to the jail, where they were being held while City Marshal M. E. Jemison and Deputy Sheriff Ed McClellan conducted a cross examination to learn how sunry small articles came into their possession. They left their homes in Santa Monica early Friday morning, presumably to attend school, but instead met by prearranged plans and set out on their adventure with 30 cents among them. In Anaheim Monday the lads went astray, according to their story, giving vent to an impulse to ransack side pockets of autos parked along the street, the police said. A variety store also contributed to their collection of trinkets, they told the police. John Kellenberger is one of the men who held lucky cards in the oil gamble. He had a small interest in a company drilling at the beach, and the gusher which the company brought in some days ago yields him the income from fifty barrels per day. This is a pretty respectable income, and Johnny will not have to worry about the wolf as long as the well holds out. G. Meger has filed answer in the superior court to a suit brought against him recently by Emma Meger, in which it was asserted that he failed to provide for his asserted incompetent daughter, Olga Meger. In the answer Meger said that the daughter was not incompetent, that he did not have $25,000, as was alleged in the complaint, and that, for a considerable sum, Hulda Hammerly had agreed to provide for the girl. A. E. Koepsel represented Meger as attorney. A feud between the elite, living in the colonies, and the others, who live outside, exists among Fullerton Mexicans and presents a problem which is proving hard to overcome, according to Miss Druzilla Mackey, head of the Americanization work of the high school. There is an equally strong feud between the "bosses" and those under their authority, she says. This, Miss Mackey attributes to the fact that the Fullerton Mexicans are thinking people. She believes it to be a good sign. After these people have been under self-government for a sufficient length of time, they will become citizens, she maintains. Charged with highway robbery, an offense punishable by a maximum sentence of life imprisonment, John Campbell and Robert Gregory, who were recaptured after they had escaped from Deputy Sheriff G. E. McClellan, who was taking them to the Orange county jail from Fullerton, will be tried before a jury in Superior Judge R. Y. Williams' court March 1. The robbery charges resulted from their alleged attempt to stop Mrs. Alice Massey, of Anaheim, and to flee in her automobile. Their inability to start the machine was all that prevented them from completing their purpose, testimony at the preliminary hearing in Anaheim showed. The two men, arraigned late Friday before Judge Williams, pleaded not guilty to the charges. Justices of the peace who handle speeding cases will have opportunity to observe the driving practices of drivers if motorists in general install a new speed-recording device that recently has been placed on the market. The record consists of a roll of paper lined off into days and hours. A pen, connected with the speedometer, marks the rate of speed of the car as the record revolves. The whole instrument is locked so it cannot be tampered with. The speeding records for a month or a year may be kept by installation of this device. A local dealer pointed out that drivers who have the speed-bug probably would not adopt the device for fear of consequences, if arrested for fast driving, and that those who are not speed maniacs would not use them because they would have no occasion to refer to past history. For the purpose of stabilizing prices, increasing the market outlet and improving the average returns received by growers, an organization committee of seventeen prominent peach and apricot growers recently presented a plan for the formation of a non-stock, non-profit, co-operative selling agency, to handle the canning peach and apricot crop of Santa Barbara, Ventura, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Imperial and Los Angeles counties. The new organization has just filed incorporation papers and expects to start a membership drive in the near future. They will begin to operate, they announce, when 75 per cent of the canning peaches and apricots, or of either of these crops, has been signed up. Prominent in the formation of the new association are Dr. H. S. Gordon, of Nuevo, Riverside county, chairman of the organization committee, and C. G. Hamilton, of Hemet, secretary-treasurer. Headquarters for the new organization will be established in Los Angeles. What everybody knows is that the world's wealth never will be distributed fairly until everybody has an automobile as good as everybody else's. The new broom that keeps on sweeping clean soon wears itself out. Did you ever see a fat fanatic? THE NEW SPRING STYLES ARE ARRAYED Every Department IN OUR STORE SEE THEM NOW IN OUR STORE SEE THEM NOW BILKENSTEIN'S ANAHEIM Cal. BILLIONS FOR HOMES The great home-building movement is on. It is said on good authority that plans are already being drawn up for the construction of homes which will total at least $2,000,000,000, and an additional billion is represented in plans for other construction. These figures are reassuring both as to the prosperity of the country and its return to a normal stability of effort and temper. People who are setting about home-building on such a scale are not speculating wildly in the present; they are spending for the future. They have faith in the future and they are settling down. The great progress of art and arti- tic architecture in thi scountry makes it easy to believe that the present activi- ty will result in countless structures of genuine and permanent beauty. There will be no such wave of architectural atrocities as characterized some earlier building booms in our history. The building of all these homes is an excellent argument against pessimism. It is good evidence that, after many setbacks, America fundamentally is getting, as the little French dru-gists says, "better and better." Only in this case the phrase indicates fulfillment, not imagination. MAKE IT STIFFER Should there be a more severe penalty than at present for motorists who operate an auto while under the influence of liquor? That there is a strong sentiment for a relentless warfare on such motorists growing in this community is a report just issued by officials of the legal department of the Automobile Club of Southern Cali- officials are seriously considering the matter at this time. THE BUDGET LAW "We all want economy, but we don't want it to affect us." This was the exclamation of the Hon. Frank Merriam, of Long Beach, speaker of the state assembly, for objections being heard to the economy budget of Governor Friend W. Richardson, which cuts $12,000,000 from the budget of the former governor, given at the third annual banquet of the Santa Ana Realty Board in St. Ann's Inn. "Much to the surprise of everyone present," he said, "Governor Richardson is insisting on keeping his pre-election promises to effect eneconies. If the people will be patient, the budget will be worked out in a satisfactory manner." Speaker Merriam laid the blame for need of adjustments in the budget to the new budget law passed by the people of California recently. "The governor had to submit a budget to the legislature shortly after going into office in accordance with this law," he explained, "and he only had 30 days in which to prepare it." He believes the budget law is not a good law since it permits the governor to amend legislation and places undue power in the chief executive's hands. "This power may be safe now, but we can't tell how it will be used by future governors." Touching on the re-apportionment question the speaker said that under no consideration will it touch Orange county. He stated that new road laws and the proposed gasoline tax would be up for consideration by the legislature. MAKE IT STIFFER Should there be a more severe penalty than at present for motorists who operate an auto while under the influence of liquor? That there is a strong sentiment for a relentless warfare on such motorists growing in this community is a report just issued by officials of the legal department of the Automobile Club of Southern California. Some definite consideration should be given to this question at the present time, say the club officials. The judges of the police court say that about 80 per cent of the reckless driving charges heard by them involve the operation of an automobile by a person under the influence of liquor, but that little if any, proof of this fact is offered. And strong as it may seem it is the consensus of opinion of those who have had experience of the working of the law regarding this question that it is too severe. Juries seem reluctant to convict offenders when the penalty is so heavy and judges say that more people would be convicted if the penalty was less severe. As a matter of fact the statutes of California make the operation of an automobile, while under the influence of liquor, a serious offense and provide that one convicted of such an offense may be imprisoned in the county jail for not less than six months nor more than one year, or that he may be imprisoned in the state prison for not less than one or more than three years, or that he pay a fine of not less than $500 nor more than $5000. It is true that there are too large a number of persons operating autos while under the influence of liquor, and it is apparent that automobile club good law since it permits the governor to amend legislation and places undue power in the chief executive's hands. "This power may be safe now, but we can't tell how it will be used by future governors." Touching on the re-apportionment question the speaker said that under no consideration will it touch Orange county. He stated that new road laws and the proposed gasoline tax would be up for consideration by the legislature.

Then why doesn't it order out its armies and put France out of the Ruhr? Familiarity with crime always breeds either contempt for crime or contempt for virtue, according to the make-up of the man. A married man gives up a good many privileges, but, on the other hand, he always has a good excuse for not doing a lot of things he never wanted to do. Honesty poverty is no disgrace, but neither is honest riches.
