OBSERVATIONS By Charles Kuchel. A gentleman who formerly lived in Kansas says one time his wife decided to raise ducks as a sideline out on their ranch. It was easy to raise them, but quite difficult to keep them if any of the ducks wandered over onto the premises of unscrupulous neighbors who had a habit of believing all ducks looked alike. At night the domestic fowl become easily frightened and when aroused, the man said, they would rush up and down their enclosure meanwhile making a deuce of a noise and keeping the family awake. When matters became almost unbearable by these nightly barnyard serenades the owner conceived the idea of hanging a lighted lantern on a post in the fence, and at once the ducks huddled around and became quieter. Queering the quacks. A plebeian who works from sun to sun, while walking through an alley the other day saw a $10 pair of woman's shoes in the ash barrel by the curb-side. The kicks were only slightly worn, but they hit the discard. Papa's got the jack. An absent minded man after throwing her into the high on a bumpy piece of road kept kicking the side of the car. His companion asked why. Oh, begosh, I used to be a cowboy, and I always gave the nag the spurs when I wanted her to go fast. Making the grade. A Fullerton man who had been in the bachelor ranks for a number of years, there, awhile back got married. The other day he met his wife on the street; he tipped his hat, addressing her by her maiden name. Later in the was struck by a south bound train of the Santa Fe railroad. The accident occurred in the early part of May. At the coroner's inquest which followed, the jury returned a verdict of accidental death, with recommendation that the Santa Fe railroad be "forced" to establish better protection for pedestrians and motorists at the crossing. The action of the coroner's jury was followed by a resolution passed by the county board of supervisors and the resolution by the Fullerton chamber of commerce urging that the railroad commission take action in the matter. WOMEN VISITORS ENTHUSE OVER ORANGE COUNTY Delegates to Presbyterian Convention See All the Sights Two hundred women from all parts of the United States, delegates to the United Presbyterian convention held in Los Angeles last week, were intertained by the Santa Ana Presbyterian church Friday, and made an automobile tour through the north part of the county. They were deeply impressed with what was shown them throughout the county. As expressed by one present when the group of visitors was being assigned to automobiles, for a tour through the north end of the county, "these 200 happy, delighted, chattering women will boost for Santa Ana and Orange county after they have seen all the beauty spots and many points of interest scheduled to be visited by them." "Isn't this a wonderful section." "Those oranges were just beautiful—My, how I would liked to have plucked one from the tree."

A Fullerton man who had been in the bachelor ranks for a number of years, there awhile back got married. The other day he met his wife on the street; he tipped his hat, addressing her by her malden name. Later in the day he recalled his lapse of memory, telling a friend about the incident, and expressed fear about going home. Firemen, spread your net! A party who was motoring down around the beaches the other day says he saw many land re-subdivisions, some of which were in apparent swamps and dry-wash sections. During dry weather some lots are more easily sold than when there has been plenty of rain. The delayed fuse. A citizen who has a nice place constructed a pond in his garden and used the pool to raise the lilies. Then mosquitos came and he put a minnow in the pond to feast upon the insects, but a hawk flew down and got the fish. As you were. A couple of Janes got to talking about their ages the other day, and while one admitted she had forgotten to remember her birthdays, the other said while she was no chicken, she would surprise her friends if she had a pair wings. This one also allowed that while her hair was hennaed, she did not pullet down over her ears, and as a good-night parting she said her native state was Rhode Island. Something to crow about. The gold fish in the pond in the Elks' garden do not believe in race suicide and have brought forth their offspring in their new home, much to the delight of the antlered herd. The new arrivals are as beautiful and vivacious as the species can be and are much admired. The carp family. A man who has lived here long enough to enjoy the wise sobriquet of weather prophet, says the climate during this month is not unusual for this time of year, as generally supposed, because just four years ago June was cloudy and sea bathing was unpleasant as the temperature was too low Those oranges were just beautiful—My, how I would liked to have plucked one from the tree." "A California barbecue—I have just had my first taste of barbecued meat and it is wonderful." "Santa Ana and Orange county is the most prosperous and most beautiful spot I have ever seen." These are just a few of the impressions heard at Orange county park, where the visitors were treated to a genuine barbecue lunch, following the first leg of the sight-seeing trip. With Amos Cox driving the leading car, the delegates were driven through Anaheim, Fullerton, Placentia, Olive, and Orange. Luncheon was featured by an abundance of good things, prepared by the women of the Santa Ana church. Continuing the sight-seeing tour, Hewes Park, Lemon Heights and Tustin were visited, the trip concluding with a ride through different sections of Santa Ana. Arriving at the church around 3 o'clock, the visitors were tendered a reception. "Southern California is a most delightful spot," said Mrs. A. C. Campbell, of Pittsburgh, former president of the organization. During my short stay in the southland, I have become a California booster. The visit to Orange county has been a revelation to me. This section gives evidence of substantial prosperity. The pretty ranch homes,the beautiful yards, the rose gardens—all are so beautiful and impressive." COAST ROAD WORK SOON TO BEGIN Within five months the work of constructing the section of coast highway between Huntington Beach and Newport Beach will be under way, according to an opinion of N. T. Edwards, of Orange, a member of the state highway commission. "The only thing that is holding up the commission in calling for bids for the work," said Edwards, "is the right of way. These are to be supplied by the county. I understand that there has been difficulty in getting some of the property owners to give the necessary deeds, and that condemnation suits have been or will be filed by Orange county." Edwards said that the state has completed its survey and has plans and transmitted to him by Next to the last billator Slater's measure $50,000 for the promo fairs.

STATE INVESTIGATION OF NORTHAM CROSSING Santa Fe May Be Forced to Provide Better Protection A rigid investigation as to conditions at Northam crossing, near Buena Park, with a view to establishing protection for motorists, is promised by the state railroad commission in a letter received by the Fullerton chamber of commerce. The letter signed by W. G. Mathewson, secretary, promises that the engineers of the organization will proceed at once to investigate the feasibility of establishing gates at the crossing, or at least placing a flagman at the road intersection during the hours of heavy traffic. The action of the state railroad commission James as the result of a resolution passed by the chamber of commerce following the death of Mr. and Mrs. James Wardell, of Brea, who were almost instantly killed when the automobile in which they were riding ANGLICIZED TEXT BOOKS Characterizing three of the American history books used in California public schools as "Anglicized texts," the annual convention of California and Nevada veterans of foreign wars, "The only thing that is holding up the commission in calling for bids for the work," said Edwards, "is the right of way. These are to be supplied by the county. I understand that there has been difficulty in getting some of the property owners to give the necessary deeds, and that condemnation suits have been or will be filed by Orange county." Edwards said that the state has completed its survey and has plans and specifications for the section. Long hills will have to be made. "The state commission has not determined whether it will pave this section immediately," said the commissioner. "Under ordinary circumstances our policy is to let a highway stand for a year or two where fills are made, before placing the paving. We may follow that policy in relation this beach section. Since the section is short, however, and since the roadbed will be of sand, which makes a fine roadbed, we may decide to pave earlier than is our usual practice. "We expect to have the roadbed gravelled before it is used or paved." Edwards said that preliminary work looking to letting the contract for the grading of the state highway between Newport bay and Laguna Beach is now being done. He said it will not be long until this section will be ready for letting the contract. It is not the intention of the commission to pave this section until later.

Beach is planning a Greek festival and banquet of the gods during the August full-moon, for the benefit of the Women's Club fountain fund. Mrs. Rider will train the dancers on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons at Miss Josephine Hill's new studio on Central avenue and Beach street, Laguna, and there she will welcome any Orange county dancers who care to join the dancers of Laguna in the portrayal of the festivities of the ancients. Mrs. Rider has made selections from the myths, composed by the dances and will train the dancers herself. She has also designed the costumes to be worn by the dancers. The festival will be held at the end of the street beside the Laguna Beach hotel, with the seas as a background. Mr. Van Autlman is designing the scenery and will erect Greek columns, etc. Mrs. Floyd Case. Miss Josephine Hills and Miss Jewel Hicox are in charge of the music. COUNTIES GET HALF OF MOTOR LICENSE 4 Per Cent Tax Paid By Public Carriers to Be Divided. Reading of the Duval bill, providing for motor transportation companies paying 4 per cent of their gross receipts into the state motor vehicle fund, refutes statements made recently to effect that none of the fund collected from this source is returned to counties. The bill, officially assembly bill No. 738, specifically provides that all the moneys paid to the state controller, under the 4 per cent tax, shall be divided equally between the state and the counties, less $5000 appropriated from the fund for the purchase of emblems, to be given public carriers operating under the regulation of the motor vehicle act. LEGION BUILDING CLUB HOUSES Over fifty American Legion posts in California have erected club houses and community centers. The real estate values of same is estimated at $750,000. This is evidenced in movements of former soldiers in the extension of aims and offices for community progress. When a hotel project is to be given impetus, where there is need for a city play ground, or any move for civic betterment, legion men can be found in front ranks of workers.

Next to the last bill signed was Senator Slater's measure appropriating $50,000 for the promotion of county fairs. Probably the most important measure to draw executive approval on the last day of the bill signing period was Senator Osborne's act creating the office of county horticultural commissioners. Signing of this measure precluded the ousting of every horticultural commissioner in the state, as the law under which the commissioners formerly served was found unconstitutional in a recent decision of the supreme court. Among the important measures which died by pocket veto were the following: Mother Lode highway bill, authorizing placement of a constitutional amendment on the ballot at the next general election to carry $2,000,000 bond issue for construction of a highway in the historic district. Crowley poison act, increasing the punishment to be meted out to "dope" peddlers after the first offense. Jones bill introduced by Senator Herbert Jones and providing an appropriation to carry on rehabilitation of men injured in industry. Veto of this bill means that no more funds will be available for rehabilitation work after July 1, 1924. Sample bill, regulating use of nots and seines in fish and game district No. 19. West bill, making legal age of a woman 21 years. Hornblower bill, making a nine-hour day for drug clerks. Allen bill, permitting the planting of trees along the highways as windbreaks. Among the list of bills to secure executive approval were the following: A. B. 341—Increasing the number of justices of the peace in Los Angeles from six to nine. A. B. 515—Imperial county government act. By vetoing 403 bills, nearly half the number presented to him, Governor Richardson broke all California veto records. After the 1921 session of the legislature Governor Stephens signed 950 bills and vetoed 239. CLAIM DAMAGES FOR INJURED BABY Parents Bring Suit Against an Auto Driver Claiming that their infant daughter, Lois, was permanently injured when fund, refutes statements made recently to the effect that none of the fund collected from this source is returned to counties. The bill, officially assembly bill No. 738, specifically provides that all the moneys paid to the state controller, under the 4 per cent tax, shall be divided equally between the state and the counties, less $5000 appropriated from the fund for the purchase of emblems, to be given public carriers operating under the regulation of the motor vehicle act. The county distribution is to be in the same proportion that the number of motor vehicles registered from each county bears to the total number registered in the state. Operators must pay the tax every three months, and licenses must be renewed at the end of each quarter, with the state board of equalization authorized not to issue a license until the tax due on the gross receipts for the previous quarter is paid. Sums paid for county or municipal licenses, or city and county taxes paid upon property actually used in conduct of business, may be deducted from the total in computing the 4 per cent tax. Licenses are to be issued by the board of equalization, but payment of the tax is to be made to the state controller. The license tax becomes effective January 1, 1924. Applicants for license must be in position to file an estimate of the probable gross business for the first three months. After the law is effective, applicants for new license must take the same procedure, while renewals, by quarters, will be on the basis of the date of granting of license. The bill specifies that gross receipts from operation "shall include all receipts on business beginning and ending in the state; and a proportion based upon the proportion of the mileage within this state to the entire mileage over which such business is done, of gross receipts by such operator on all business passing through, into or out of the state or partly within or partly without this state." Emblems, to be supplied by the state, must be displayed conspicuously upon each motor vehicle authorized to be operated under the license. WARNING TO PICNICKERS Picnickers and campers must be more careful in stopping in mountains of Orange county, taking care not to throw refuse along the highway. Dr. Richardson broke all California veto records. After the 1921 session of the legislature Governor Stephens signed 950 bills and vetoed 239. CLAIM DAMAGES FOR INJURED BABY Parents Bring Suit Against an Auto Driver Claiming that their infant daughter, Lois, was permanently injured when she was thrown through the windshield of their car in collision with that the defendant, G. Lan Franco and Olympia Lan Franco, his wife, brought suit in the superior court for $3215.57 against May and A. H. Kroeft. According to the complaint, Olympia Lan Franco was operating a car containing the baby and herself, on East Chapman avenue, El Modena, when it was struck by the other car, driven by A. H. Kroeft, son of the defendant, May Kroeft. The baby was hurled through the windshield, with the result that both ear-drums were ruptured, according to the complaint. Mrs. Lan Franco sought $500 for her injuries, and $2500 for the baby's hurts. Len Franco claimed $215.57 for damage to the car. Attorney Clyde Payne represented the complainant.

He said that he had received from his parents a clipping of a newspaper revealing that wife No. 1 had filed suit for divorce. The Oregon woman did file suit in September, 1920, but withdrew it on August 21, 1921, according to information in possession of Deputy District Attorney C. N. Mozley. He has a son by his first wife, now 6 years old. Collins said he was in the army from 1916 to 1919. He was discharged, with a crippled knee. He then went into the navy, he said, and in order to disguise his identity, he added the name Richard to his given name of Paul. His army service was with Co.F. 160th, 42d division. Collins said he had the best of home training and that when he entered the army he was studying electrical engineering at Portland. Upon his discharge he decided to follow baseball as a profession, and he said he was with the Los Angeles team last year, and had signed with the Portland team for this season. Mrs. Ruth Caldwell Collins was the "sweetest little woman" he ever met," he explained. He had no excuse to offer for his third venture into matrimony. ANOTHER FAIRY TALE Aladdin had a lamp a couple of thousand years ago that would produce, when properly rubbed, all sorts of funny things. J. E. "Josh" Parker, for 40 years a resident of Orange, had another thing that didn't need to be rubbed, but it turned out to be just as good as the famous lamp. Josh, as everybody calls him,bought a lot many years ago out at Santa Fe Springs, and paid fifty dollars in hard when Miss Arvilla Ball Sunday morning became the bride of Paul Witmer, of Anaheim. Planned for an early morning affair, the hour of 9 found the closer friends and relatives of the young couple, assembled to enjoy a recital offered by Miss Leonora Tompkins, Mrs. Fern Arthurs, of Oregon, and Elwood Bear. Mr. Bear chose as a violin number, "The Old Refrain," with Miss Tompkins playing his accompaniment as she did for Mrs. Arthurs, a cousin of the groom, whose silvery voice was beautiful in Cadman's "At Dawning." As Miss Tompkins modulated into Lohengrin's wedding march, the bridal party entered, Miss Ball on the arm of her father, Dr. C. D. Ball, who gave her in marriage. She was lovely in her bridal gown of ivory net over ivory satin, and carrying white sweet peas showered with lilies of the valley. Adding to the sentiment of the wedding was the fact that her long veil, falling from a point lace cap adorned with orange blossoms, was worn by another happy bride, Mrs. Sigfried Silverman, formerly Miss Irma Reinhaus. Mrs. John D. Ball herself a recent bride, as matron of honor, wore a charming lingerie frock of white embroidery over apricot silk and with a fetching little flower-trimmed lace bonnet. Her flowers were butterfly roses, tulle tied. James Blaine Gibson, of Anaheim, a fraternity brother (Deu-ta Tau Delta) of Mr. Witmer at the University of Missouri) acted as best man. Aaking their places before tall baskets of pink Canterbury bells and bule larkspur, the bridal couple took their wedding vows before the Rev. Will A. Betts, pastor of the First M. E. church.

J. E. "Josh" Parker, for 40 years a resident of Orange, had another thing that didn't need to be rubbed, but it turned out to be just as good as the famous lamp. Josh, as everybody calls him,bought a lot many years ago out at Santa Fe Springs, and paid fifty dollars in hard cash for it. Taxes, amounting to eleven cents a year, soon convinced him that he might as well get rid of it. So he started out twenty-five years ago to sell it. Nobody would have it. He just couldn't get rid of it. So he finally settled down to the cold conclusion that he would have to keep it for his lifetime. And then something happened. A black, "gooey" substance was brought up through a hole in his lot. And Josh is pocketing $117 daily from an oil well, brought in on the lot that cost him fifty dollars years ago, and that nobody wanted. "I tried to sell the darned thing for half what I paid for it, and I couldn't find anyone who would buy it," he said. "Now, well, what can I say?" he added on. Mr. Parker is a brother of C. E. Parker, of the Santa Ana Title company. The family has been identified with Orange county and its growth for the past twenty years.

Later in the forenoon, Mr. and Mrs. Witmer departed on a motor trip to Carmel, Mrs. Witmer in an attractive three pleee suit of mocha silk with smart little hat and all accessories to harmonize. Returning after a few weeks they will greet their freinds at their attractive home on Spurgeon street. The bride, a daughter of Dr. and Mrs. C. D. Ball, was a popular teacher at junior high school. Last year she was granted a leave of absence to accompany her father, assemblyman from this district, to Sacramento, where she acted as his secretary. Her husband is the son of the late Dr. P. Witmer, of Missouri. His mother, Mrs. Ina Witmer, is no wa resident of Santa Ana. Mr. Witmer is connected with the Haynes garage of Anaheim and is also one of the county's walnut growers. MAKING THEM DISGORGE The practical success of the department of justice in conducting war fraud prosecutions is shown by its recovery of about $3,200,000, and the securing of judgments for $1,225,000 more. Cases are pending involving many more millions. The cost of the prosecutions has been but a fraction of the recoveries, while their moral effect gives them a large added value.
