OBSERVATIONS By Charles Kuchel. Speculation is rife here as to whether or not oil will be struck in Anaheim, for be it known that a big company will soon be pushing the rotary into the bowels of the earth out in the southeast territory, hitherto undeveloped, and which may be classed as wildcat. But people well versed in the oil drama reflectively aver that this corporation is pretty well satisfied as to their success before rigging up for operation. The most inexperienced person nowadays has heard at one time or another that the oil strata diverges to the southwest, and were that deduction correct there is every reason to believe that this section is in the petroleum zone. In the parlance of the street, Anaheim literally has oil all around her, and conservative men feel assured that all that is needed to demonstrate the fact that oil exists here is for some company with the means to go down deep enough and find out. It does not take a great stretch of the imagination to see what would happen to Anaheim if oil was found here. This city has attracted nation-wide attention for its resources that have been exploited successfully upon the surface of the earth, and were these means extended to include the hidden treasures, there is no gain-saying that this city would be placed upon the industrial map in great magnitude. And there is no good reason to doubt that the stratas spreading out from the mother lode of oil abound in great volume right here. Even if it does not, there is no wrong in thinking so, and it is a safe bet to be on the optimistic side in this latest shuffling of petroleum laser gun it would have been necessary to shoot around the corner. Good alibi. START CAMPAIGN FOR UNIVERSITY FUND Ten Millions for Development Wanted By U. S. C. Active solicitation in the University of Southern California $10,000,000 campaign for development and endowment will start August 6, President Rufus B. Von KleinSmid has announced. The intensive work of the campaign will extend over a period of a week, closing August 13. This action comes as a result of a long period of preparation, and recent meetings of the board of trustees and of the business men's advisory committee of 100. Approximately $300,000 has already been subscribed by various friends of the university, and members of the business men's committee have expressed a desire to assist in pre-campaign subscriptions. The keynote of the campaign next month will be the recent declaration of Governor A. J. Wallace, who said: "The need o fthe University of Southern California is the need of Los Angeles and the southwest. Our youth demand a great educational institution, and we cannot afford not to give it to them." Several months preparation by the endowment department of the university has provided a selected list of several thousand names of wealthy persons who are interested in education. These persons are looked to for the bulk of the funds. The crystallization of the campaign into a definite solicitation period, has resulted from several meetings of the advisory committee, and from a community wide interest in the work of the institute.

Even if it does not, there is no wrong in thinking so, and it is a safe bet to be on the optimistic side in this latest shuffling of petroleum pasteboards. Many influential and conservative business men are taking keen interest in this enterprise, and all incline to the idea that something is in store underground that when unearthed will be a real eye opener. It's a great world if pou don't weaken. Some big city pencil pushers flasht a profile of themselves at the top of the column as a sort of identification, or, perhaps, it is there to attract the vamp's winkers, or it may lead to a mad whirl into the movies, if the guy would screen well and could be classed as a good looker. Sometimes if the "stuff" does not contain the phonetic ring the "pitcher" would suffice. Usually it's hard to get your picture in the paper, but if you're wise when writing you might put it over as a guarantee of good faith. The profile serves a dual purpose, as for instance, while it adds to the scenic effect, those who read and have doubts as to the truthfulness of the narrative drawing the spot-light, they may resort to the science of physiognomy and read the countenance of the author to see if he comes clean. Cinching the argument. Two youngsters went into a confectionery store the other day and asked the price of a strawberry soda. Whentold it was 10 cents the kids went into deep thought, for they only had a dime between them. They finally ordered the drink, and asked for two straws. After putting them into the liquid each boy got onto the receiving end with their mouths and soon the glass was drained. Making both ends meet. A new star, it is said, will soon appear in the jocund journalistic firmament, which is looked upon to fill a long-felt want.

These persons are looked to for the bulk of the funds. The crystallization of the campaign into a definite solicitation period, has resulted from several meetings of the advisory committee, and from a community wide interest in the work of the institution. Solicitation will be carried on through the endowment department, added by the alumni, who are being interested in this form of service to their alma mater. A number of prominent Los Angeles business men have also volunteered their services as canvassers. With the tentative announcement of the campaign early in the year the student body of the university met, and working entirely through their own channels raised a large amount for the campaign. Every student on campus subscribed in the student campaign, making a 100 per cent representation, a thing which no other university has as yet reported. Campaign mac inery is already organized and ready for the work of the solicitation period. All that remains to do is the whipping into shape of the canvassing units. Several months ago Marco H. Helman organized the business men's executive committee, which has been meeting from time to time and has been aiding the campaign in many ways. TRAFFIC TANGLES Cop-less traffic jams—traffic tangles where there are no traffic officers on hand—are causing a lot of worry to auto owners throughout the country, as well as to pedestrians and others, and a few well-aimed words of advice have just been issued from the Auto Club of Southern California, in its general plan to make the suburban roads and city streets safer for humanity. It is the reckless and heedless auto driver who "busts" into a street or road intersection with little thought of how badly he may tangle up motor travel in that vicinity, say the club officials. When you approach a busy crossing, the best thing to do is to stop, look, and listen. It is really just as important as ti is to stop, look, and listen.

A new star, it is said, will soon appear in the jocund journalistic firmament, which is looked upon to fill a long-felt want. The shedding of the additional light might serve the weary traveller to better find his way, but as time wears on he may become too well accustomed to the added luster, and his vision may relax as he finds his pathway too brilliantly illuminated. In your minds 'eye there is a cut in expenses, and helessness of where the chips may fall, retrenchment begins. The weary traveller then begins to see that perhaps two stars, or maybe one, will send forth as much light as three, inasmuch as the darkness never becomes too dense; and he continues tohew to the line. The rays of affulgence of one star may be such as to dim the light of another, or both, and then the weary traveller—(who may now be recognized as the home town merchant) sees one light, or maybe two, faintly quiver—then flicker and snuff out. It's a sad tale, mates! Back in the early days a white and a black man got into difficulty over a quiet game of draw and the negro shot his aggressor. In great excitement he hunted up a lawyer—therewas only one in town then—and told about his troubles. The attorney advised his client to keep mum, but also told him to take his pistol and put it in a vise and twist the barrel to one side. When the case was called, and the gun turned exhibit A and all other preliminaries attended to, the lawyer for the defense had his client dismissed on the grounds that had he shot the other man with that particular gun. It is the reckless and heedless auto driver who "busts" into a street or road intersection with little thought of how badly he may tangle up motor travel in that vicinity, say the club officials. When you approach a busy crossing, the best thing to do is to stop, look, and listen. It is really just as important as ti is to stop, look, and listen at railway grade crossings. Size up the condition of traffic at the road or street intersection—be sure you are right, and then go ahead, urges the auto club. If you are going to turn to the right then edge over near the curb on your right hand. If you are going to turn to the left, then edge over toward the left of your side of the street, and if you are going straight ahead over the intersection, then steer a middle course. "A lot of bad traffic tangles are caused by motorists trying to make their turns from the wrong position. Just keep in wind when you approach a busy intersection that you should come up to it in the right position, and then you will not cross in front of other people who are also trying to reach their destination. Don't blow your horn trying to hurry the other fellow ahead of you. Don't go into the tangle so fast that you cannot back up a little bit and make room for somebody else to get by, in case it would help unravel the snarl. Don't plow ahead regardless of everything, shoving your way in where angels fear to tread. If you get too close to the man ahead of you, then he will be unable to back up and relieve the congestion, and there you will sit until some soft-hearted individual gets out of his car and tries to... WONDEI WHAT TELEPHONE GIRL THINKS ABOUT? A Regular Gungha Din for SelfControl, Says Woman Writer If telephone operators had time and permission to "talk back" when we—and who among us is not guilty?—complain and use language that we would be ashamed of at other times, what would they say to us? The question so aroused the curiosity of Miss Antoinette Donnelly that she wrote in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat recently that she doubted "if one of us would dare to use the tone or language we do in these irrational moments were we fact to face with the individual." "What she (the operator) may think of us she must keep to herself and does," observed Miss Donnelly, "she's a better man than we are, Gungha Din, because she has self-control." "It is not so much in defense of the telephone girl I write this," explained Miss Donnelly, "but to try to point out the folly of a telephone temper, because it uses up energy that applied to legitimate things, would incur profit, instead of total loss. To prove further that by ones' mental attitude in this daily habit of telephone using you may school yourself to a better self-control in other things as well. If we are a nation living upon our nerves, here is a national opportunity to train those nerves. Let the telephone girl herself be your object lesson." "Whether you have your own private opinion about these girls and their service ability, you have to admit they have better self-control, because being human being, if they had not office regulations alone would not thirty, including the officers and the president's escort. In addition, the eminent prior of the preceptor of Toronto, Canada, which was the first templar body to receive the banner, will accompany the party. The Beausant already has an interesting history, although it has scarcely started on its pilgrimage around the world. As it is to be placed, in turn, in the temporary custody of one commander in each grand jurisdiction of Knights Templar throughout the world, it may take half a century to complete the journey. A beautifully engrossed record book accompanies the banner, so that when the pilgrimage is completed its great history will have been written. WE HAVE KEPT THE FAITH When Clemenceau told the farmers at Chicago that this country must choose between isolation and co-operation, he left an utterly erroneous inference. We have not been isolated; neither have we failed to co-operate. His remarks was as artful as the question propounded by the pettifogging lawyer, "Have you quit beating your mother-in-law?" This nation has been doing business for nearly a century and a half and has not been isolated during any of that time. Neither has it ever refused to co-operate in any way for world welfare. But we have insisted upon the right to determine what is a proper form of co-operation and when and where and in what manner it shall be given. We do not need M. Clemenceau to teach us public duties. DIPLOMATIC BOOZE A serious international situation is "brewing" at Washington. The foreign diplomatic corps is greatly activated and decidedly annoposition ever before congress, and when it failed all hopes for an American merchant marine were lost for the present. Opponents of the measure, then, were fighting American interests and doing all in their power to aid the ship operators of England, Germany, France, Sweden, Norway and Denmark. So encouraged have our commercial rivals become through the activities of the radical element in congress that the London correspondent of the Liverpool Journal of Commerce was inspired to write as follows: "The fact that the United States merchant marine is practically out of the running, the difficulty in France, and the sudden slowing down of the rebuilding of the German merchant marine are bull points for shipping shares belonging to British companies. I am not concerned with the ultimate fate of the United States surplus shipping, but there is always room on the scrap heap for junk." What are the American people going to do when a challenge like that is flung in their faces? NEW CONSCIENCE NEEDED A prominent New York international lawyer, recently returned from Italy, declares that "the rehabilitation of Italy was not a political revolution but a spiritual revival." He says that the Italian deficit is to be cut in half next year, and will be wiped out entirely in two years. A spiritual revival is just what is sorely needed in most of the European countries, and when it comes the result is likely to be as beneficial as it has proved in Italy. CARRYING THE BEAUSANT AROUND THE WORLD Hollywood Knights of the Temple to Receive it From Marion Scores of Orange county Knights Templar are busily engaged in making tentative arrangements for active participation in the ceremonies in honor of President Harding in the Hollywood bowl, scheduled for August 2. On that date, according to present plans, Marion commandery No. 36, Knights Templar of Marion, Ohio, of which organization the president is a distinguished member, will present to Hollywood commandery No.56, what is popularly known as the international traveling Beausant. Fully 100 Orange county lodge members will be in attendance to witness the impressive ceremonies. E. L. Bowers, head of the Santa Ana commandery, will be in charge of the delegation from the southern section of Orange county. The Beausant is a silken banner, 2-12 feet wide by 3-12 feet in length, the upper half of which has a black field and the lower half a white field in ritualistic significance of the Beausant, which is known to all Knights Templar. DIPLOMATIC BOOZE A serious international situation is "brewing" at Washington. The foreign diplomatic corps is greatly agitated and decidedly annoyed. It is all the result of the United States supreme court ruling on the prohibition laws to prohibit foreign vessels from bringing lisuor inside the three-mile limit of this country. Of course, the country knows from Washington, New York and foreign dispatches all about the official controversy over the seizure by American customs authorities of liquor supplies brought to the United States by foreign liners seeking to test the supreme court decision. But the "serious international situation," with which this dispatch deals is something far more fundamental than that official controversy. It is the question of "diplomatic booze." As the respective members of the different embassies and legations in Washington arrived at their desks at 11:30 o'clock the morning the newspapers announced the arid decision of the supreme court, each respective member on receiving the news was astonished, absolutely shocked. Oh, I say, now! This won't do, you know! Quite! quite!" said a member of one well known embassy. Mon Dieu, this it is terrible! Zees Americans, it will be next what? Mon Dieu!" So ran the exclamations of a member of another and equally well known embassy. To a man, the very serious and important diplomatic corps with deliberation removed its collective silk hat, took out its silk embroidered handkerchief, patted away the beads of perspiration from its brow, and gave vent to some very strong diplomatic statements. For, what about this? If no ships could bring liquor inside the three-mile limit of the United States, where can we diplomats get our liquor? So, after diplomatic emotions had been sufficiently controlled, emisaries from the different embassies and legations strolled down to the state department, trying, as all diplomats successfully do, to appear unconcerned. They wanted to know all about it... county lodge members will be in attendance to witness the impressive ceremonies. E. L. Bowers, head of the Santa Ana commandery, will be in charge of the delegation from the southern section of Orange county. The Beausant is a silken banner, 21-2 feet wide by 31-2 feet in length, the upper half of which has a black field and the lower half a white field in ritualistic significance of the Beausant, which is known to all Knights Templar. The idea of sending the banner around the world was conceived by Eminent Sir John A. Cowan, of Toronto, Canada. On November 24, 1922, St. John's commandery, with an escort of more than 300 swords and a band, made a pilgrimage to Washington, and with appropriate ceremonies, entrusted it to the keeping of Columbia commandery, of that city. Later, the Washington commandery, with an escort of 200 sir knights, transferred the banner to Marion commandery No. 36, which proudly claims the president of the United States as a frater. In Hollywood, when the banner is brought to southern California, the grand commandery of California will honor the occasion and the president's visit with one of the greatest demonstrations ever staged in the United States: Virtually all the commanderies of southern California, as well as many of the northern organizations, will be present at the huge bowl in Hollywood. According to advance information, the escort which will accompany the Beausant from Marion will number THE CONSENSUS OF OPINION Opponents/of the administration ship aid bill played directly into the hands of foreign competitors who are working tooth and nail to destroy the American ocean commerce. It cannot be expected that any bill will ever win the unanimous approval of the country, but the last measure before congress did represent the consensus of opinion of maritime experts and exporters. It is the only concrete pro- PAGE THREE DEPOSIT PART OF WHAT YOU EARN If a man makes ten thousand dollars a year and SPENDS it all he has nothing left.

The marked enthusiasm that has attended those camps in the past is anticipated again this year. The camps are open to young men between the ages of 17 and 24. The government pays railroad fares to and from the camps and furnishes everything but underwear and toilet articles. Military training and athletic instruction are featured, and the boys receive substantial mental and physical benefit from their experience.
