MR3. FRED LUEBOW HONORED ON BIRTHDAY Boston Bakery Force Give Party and Shower Her With Presents Tuesday was the birthday of Mrs. Fred Luebow, of the Boston bakery, and the proprietor and employees of that institution invited a party in her honor. It was an enjoyable affair, one of the features being a supper, a large birthday cake bearing a candle for each year of Mrs. Luebow's life, occupying the center of the table. The number of candles sprouting from the cake was not made public. Mrs. Luebow was the recipient of many presents. A beautiful strand of pearls was presented her by the employees, and Mr. Luebow gave her a complete ivory toilet set. Many other presents were received by her. Pink and white were the colors used in decorating the table and room. An enjoyable evening was spent in games and music. Those present were Patricia Wood, Robert Engle, Fred Dentjen, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Rieling and son, Paul; Mr. and Mrs. John Dale, Thomas McElheny, Herman Huenemeyer, Henry Herbold, Mrs. Vera Cochran, Tom ed a campaign for complete elimination of the hazardous crossings and the prevention of grade crossings in future railroad construction. "The club has determined that nothing shall be left undone that will tend to bring about immediate solution of the problem," Heidt added. "It is also urgently recommended that the campaign of educating motorists to be careful in approaching crossings be extended in the most effective manner possible, and in this the automobile club pledges its co-operation, with the California railway commission in putting into effect the policy not to grant further permits for grade crossings on principal highways. In regard to the cost of elimination of grade crossings work it is recognized that the responsibility does not rest entirely with the railroads, and that the entire separation cost cannot fall altogether on the railroads with any fairness. The club recommends that the cost be equitably apportioned between the railroads, the counties and municipalities involved, together with the state of California, in such cases where state highways are concerned. "It is further recommended that a competent engineering commission investigate existing conditions, determine which crossings shall first be separated, and then recommend a manner of separation and an estimate of cost. "It is pointed out that so long as the grade crossings remain, the number of incidents will increase with the growth of traffic throughout southern California. It is admittedly true that many of the accidents are caused by mistakes or carelessness of automobile drivers. Although the club grants this, it is determinedly in favor of eliminating opportunities for mistakes."

This book which also is of value from a forestry standpoint, has been published by the United States department of agriculture as miscellaneous circular No. 7. The circular is profusely illustrated with pictures designed to illustrate the text for young readers. Moreover, it is written in a style which school children can easily read, and helpful questions follow each chapter. The oclation and area of the California forests are covered, together with a description of the various species of trees native to the state. The effect of forests on water supply and the marvelous recreational facilities made possible by the forests are among the other features of the opening chapters. The effect of fires, causes, detection, fighting, and prevention, are among the other subjects touched upon. The booklet should prove of great value in incubating the rudiments of good forestry practices into California's youngsters. A copy of the booklet may be secured from the United States department of agriculture, Washington, D.C., as long as the supply lasts. MUST ELIMINATE HAZARDS That the lives of nine persons were snuffed out at grade crossings in Orange county in the first six months of this year, was revealed by Elmer E. Heitkamp of the California State Forest Service. MUST ELIMINATE HAZARDS That the lives of nine persons were snuffed out at grade crossings in Orange county in the first six months of this year, was revealed by Elmer E. Heidt, manager of the Santa Ana branch of the Auto Club of Southern California, following investigation by the club of records maintained by C.D. Brown, coroner. Heidt pointed out that this fact had its influence when the board of supervisors this week indorsed the club's campaign for elimination of grade crossings. While recognizing that there had been a number of fatalities in the county during the six months period, the situation was more deeply impressed on the supervisors by presentation of the death data compiled by the club, Heidt said. The records reveal the followig deaths: B. Almanson, February 11. Automobile struck by Pacific Electric car at Cypress crossing; L. Reyes, March 15. Car hit by Santa Fe train at Irvine crossing; Mr. and Mrs. Wardell, May 12. Auto struck by Santa Fe train at Northam crossing; G. T. Runabould and Mrs. Pomeroy and two children, June 10 machine hit at private crossing on Santa Fe, south of El Toro; E. T. Conning, June 22. truck struck by a Southern Pacific train at Bussin Park crossing. Pointing on that vigorous and extensive investigation had revealed that 200 persons have lost their lives at grade crossings in southern California in the past two and a half years; Heidt said that the auto club had inaugurated The smaller trophies are stored in warehouses and are in good order. The larger items, including 2197 guns, ranging from ten 88-millimeter weapons up to 161 "heavies" of the 245-millimeter type, are stored in the open with 4000 German vehicles of many kinds. These, according to army reports, are rapidly deteriorating. The smaller pieces include 70,000 German rifles and 10,000 machine guns. ENTANGLEMENTS AVOIDED The people of the United States have just witnessed one more demonstration of the wisdom of their leaders in international diplomacy. By keeping its head and proceeding in a careful and dignified manner, the Harding administration avoided serious entanglements in the quarrels of the near east. Less than a year ago the Turks turned on the Greek army in Asia Minor, throw it out of the country, and captured Smyrna. The civilian Greeks in the near east found themselves in such a plight that the United States was urged to send ships and soldiers to hold the Turks in check. The alleged horrible condition of so-called "Christian minorities" became the theme of internationalists, pacifists, and ill-advised but well meaning ministers of the gospel, and petitions poured in on President Harding demanding that he use all the power of the United States to turn back the terrible Turk and have the poor "Christians" from his clutches. To his everlasting credit be it said, Mr. Harding refused to rush into war at the behest of some of our hysterical citizens. A number of warships were dispatched to the near east to maintain American rights, but there was no deviation from the American policy of no foreign entanglements. ANAHEIM GAZETTE Subsequent events have proved the wisdom of the president's course. A treaty has been signed between Turkey on the one hand and Great Britain, France, Italy, Japan, Roumania and Greece on the other, which establishes peace in the near east. Its terms reveal the complete unconcern of those countries for the "Christian minorities," that is, the Greeks, in Turkey. They are to be removed, forcibly if need be, from their homes and returned to Greece. Europe has little sympathy for those people now, and had little last year when the Turkish army was pressing them... The real object of all the agitation for the United States to rescue them was to draw this country into the European maelstrom. Numerous other schemes had failed, but if we could be induced to send an army and navy against the Turks, for the purpose of aiding the Christians in Asia Minor, we would not only pull some British, French and Greek chestnuts out of the fire, but would become inextricably involved in old world diplomacy and would be called upon to bear further and greater burdens. President Harding sensed the situation accurately and it is due to his indictment and foresight that billions have not been added to the national debt, and thousands of lives sacrificed. The United States has been kept free from being a party to the recent treaty concluded at Lausanne, with all the obligations it entails upon its signers. Americans should have a proper appreciation of the momentous events in the near east during the past year, and how fundamentally they would have affected this country had a Wilson administration, with its policy of "supreme sacrifice," been in power, or had President Harding been animated with any less concern for his food and clothing and energy. California is a great contributing state to the nation's markets. In the second place, California will never be snared by any political fad that appeals only to the narrow interests of some particular branch of production. For example, California will never elect a "Magnavox" Johnson, appealing to the bitter disappointment and the indignation—perhaps justified—of any group of farmers interested in a single product. It will probably be forever impossible to build up political prestige in California through mere appeal to selfish interests—if for no other reason, because those interests are so hopelessly diversified. Freedom from demagogue control in California is another contribution to the nation. Then, too, California will never be aligned with any small group of states against the nation. California will never join with mining states, for example, to fight cotton—for California shares both interests. Because California is vitally interested in many things and ambitions for still wider production, California should and no doubt will view all American productive interests in broad and sympathetic fashion. This broad helpfulness, built into California tradition through the steady operation of natural conditions, should be reflected in every community in the state. Orange county, too, has diverse interests, and they will be advanced, not injured, by wide and helpful co-operation with all other California enterprises. NEW TAX BUREAU Creation of a new internal revenue tax collection division, with divisional headquarters located either at Santa Ana or Long Beach, has been recommended by the collector at Los Angeles to the department at Washington. The collector said the volume of business of the southern California office warranted creation of the new division. He pointed out that such a The United States has been kept free from being a party to the recent treaty concluded at Lausanne, with all the obligations it entails upon its signers. Americans should have a proper appreciation of the momentous events in the near east during the past year, and how fundamentally they would have affected this country had a Wilson administration, with its policy of "supreme sacrifice," been in power, or had President Harding been animated with any less concern for his country's welfare. The United States owes a debt to Warren G. Harding in this matter which it can never repay. NEW FIREARMS LAW Effective August 7 there is a new law dealing with the possession of fire and other arms which can be concealed on the person. Its intent is to prevent the criminal class from owning such weapons while permitting honest men and women to own them and use them for protection. A few weeks ago one of our citizens shot and killed a burglar. As an incident, so far as our recollection serves, it was unique. Either respectable citizens when endangered fail to shoot or fall to hit. Occasionally a policeman puts a criminal, but not often. The criminal usually shoots and hits. Whether the new law will make any change remains to be seen. We hope it will. It does not seem possible to prevent criminals from getting possession of revolvers and ammunition. They can be bought anywhere out of the state or got by the same simple process of stealing them. A rigid system of licensing and dealing roughly with unlicensed persons when caught with children arms should have some effect. At any rate, it is to be tried. To a great extent it will be a question of enforcement. CALIFORNIA SAFETY NEWS "Recent Fatalities in California" show the need of intensive education in safety work. "Accident Prevention in Lumber Industry" gives a concrete example of results obtained. "Engineers Should Welcome the Boiler Inspector" indicates wherein the engineer can assist in protecting himself. "Three Fatal Accidents Due to the Dropsy or the Falling Habit" are examples of accidents that are due to thoughtlessness or carelessness. "Safety and First-Aid" is a notice of the first industrial-first aid to be held at NEW TAX BUREAU Creation of a new internal revenue tax collection division, with divisional headquarters located either at Santa Ana or Long Beach, has been recommended by the collector at Los Angeles to the department at Washington. The collector said the volume of business of the southern California office warranted creation of the new division. He pointed out that such a change would make more efficient service available to revenue taxpayers in Orange county and in the Long Beach district. "Selection of the city for location of the divisional headquarters is entirely in the hands of the department at Washington," the collector said. "I have made my recommendation for the creation of the district, but I do not know that it will be accepted. If the department accepts the suggestion, will have nothing to say as to the city in which the headquarters should be situated. "In any event I am planning to give the internal revenue taxpayers of Orange county quick and efficient service. Soon two men will be placed in the Santa Ana office." A.J. Pilch, in charge of the office, is now in the Los Angeles office assisting in auditing work. The collector said that sickness and vacations had depleted his office force, making it necessary to call in field men to assist with the work there. NO SINGLE-TRACK CALIFORNIA California, statisticians inform us, is not a single-track state. On the contrary, our state has probably more varied major productive interests than any other commonwealth in the union—and this variety of products is still on the increase. The widespread range of production here constitutes at once a problem, a protection and a guarantee of California's service to the nation at large. For example, the San Francisco chamber of commerce recently published a tabulation showing that the state is officially credited with 102 distinct classes of soil products, grown commercially. The great state of Iowa, with agriculture its major interest, produces but 76 classifications. We know that southern California is now producing more than half the crude petroleum drawn from American soil, and that present oil resources, if released for maximum production, could produce for a short time petrochemical operation or natural conditions, should be reflected in every community in the state. Orange county, too, has diverse interests, and they will be advanced, not injured, by wide and helpful co-operation with all other California enterprises. REAPPORTIONMENT In early American history the cry of "Taxation Without Representation" aroused a spirit which has never died out. It was a red flag to our staunch, clear thinking, hard fighting ancestors. It incited them to battle and we are thankful each day that it did. Here in southern California there is one immediate condition which should be remedied to give taxation with representation. For a few moments at least we should divert our attention from some of the luring puzzlers far, far away, and concentrate on a local development which is not fair and which is not just. Because of the rapid growth of this part of the state, it is not properly represented at Sacramento. The division of representation in the legislature is based on former population figures. Thus, in a sense, there is a part of this portion of California which has no voice through its representatives in the legislative halls of the state and taxation measures might be passed without the opportunity being offered to raise voices in protest. If the present apportionment remains unchanged approximately 400,000 people in southern California will be without representation in the legislature, although they are paying their full proportion of taxes which go to support the government of the state. Isn't this "Taxation Without Representation?" There can be no argument on this question of reapportionment, once the individual has the issue clearly defined for him and once he is thoroughly informed. Sentiment should sweep a measure through the proper channels so that southern California may express its proportionate sentiments properly in the law making halls and so that the feeling of justice and satisfaction will prevail over all of California as it should. FORD'S RAPID RISE Henry Ford, maker of automobiles and the world's richest man, was 60 years old Monday. Twenty years ago, on his fortieth birthday, he was a poor man. He had show the need of intensive education in safety work. "Accident Prevention in Lumber Industry" gives a concrete example of results obtained. "Engineers Should Welcome the Boiler Inspector" indicates wherein the engineer can assist in protecting himself. "The Three Fatal Accidents Due to the Dropsy or the Falling Habit" are examples of accidents that are due to thoughtlessness or carelessness. "Safety and First-Aid" is a notice of the first industrial first-aid to be held at Sacramento on Labor Dap, September 3, 1923. "Tribute to Commissioner A. J. Pillsbury" by Will J. French is a short statement of the work of Mr. Pillsbury during his recent years on the industrial accident commission. "Safety Information for Young and Old" is full of interest. "Elevator Gates" calls attention to the necessity of keeping freight elevator gates in good working order. "Preventing Dust Fires and Explosions" is of particular Interest to the various industries in which a fine dust is produced. "Reported Instances of Successful First-Aid Treatment" tells of cases in which knowledge of first-aid methods has been put to practical use, saving life and suffering. "What is Safety Engineering" gives some of the difficulties encountered by the safety engineering departments of industry. SWINDLERS DENOUNCED Aroused by the fraudulent activities of swindlers who have gouged the public by representing themselves as veterans, Morgan Keaton, department adjutant of the American Legion of California, is taking drastic steps to suppress spurious veterans' magazines publications. The legion has discovered that many persons who did not serve in the war are wearing badges, hultons, medals chamber of commerce recently published a tabulation showing that the state is officially credited with 102 distinct classes of soil products, grown commercially. The great state of Iowa, with agriculture its major interest, produces but 76 classifications. We know that southern California is now producing more than half the crude petroleum drawn from American soil, and that present oil resources, if released for maximum production, could produce for a short time petroleum enough to satisfy the entire world's needs. Shipping, manufacturing, mining and other branches of production also exist here on an important scale. The problem presented, of course, is that of keeping the people and the law makers of the state intelligently informed of the needs and possibilities of all this wide range of activities. Were the state devoted to one great agricultural product—cotton—for example—that problem would be nonexistent, for the interest of all citizens would naturally be bound up more or less in the cotton-growing industry. As it is, the problem is very much with us. Diversification, however, is also a tremendous protection for state-wide prosperity. The principle of diversification is the same as that of refusing to put all your eggs in one basket—the people of California are not generally dependent upon the success of any one line of production. A bad year for cotton doesn't mean a bad year for California, though there are thousands of Californians vitally interested in seeing cotton have a "good year." Even more clearly, though, this diverse production is a guarantee of California's loyal service to the material needs of all the United States. Part of the service lies in the simple fact of production to meet the nation's needs express its proportionate sentiments properly in the law making halls and so that the feeling of justice and satisfaction will prevail over all of California as it should. FORD'S RAPID RISE Henry Ford, maker of automobiles and the world's richest man, was 60 years old Monday. Twenty years ago, on his fortieth birthday, he was a poor man. He had just quit a job with the Detroit Edison company, where he had worked for seven years, to organize the Ford Motor company. While he was working as a master mechanic in the Edison electric power plant, carrying his dinner pail to work and drawing a salary of $125 a month, Ford was spending his nights and holidays working on his "horseless carriage." Thus he established the foundation of his success; success in becoming the world's richest man, with a personal fortune of $760,000,000 and head of the world's largest automobile industry, capitalized at $100,000,000. Ford always forsook the "pleasures of life" to work over his "carriage," which now is the Ford automobile. And in his work Ford asknowelges that had it not been for the ideal and spiritual devotion and faith of his wife he could not have succeeded. Although this marks Ford's passing of the "three score years" mark, it was observed only as other days in his life—sans ceremony. Ford was born in Greenfield, Mich., July 30, 1863. His parents were moderately prosperous, but not wealthy. His entire boyhood was spent on the farm, but farm work was never to his liking. He had tools and odd pieces of machinery for playthings. He first aspired to build a "horseless carriage." Beautify With Pictures HAND COLORED CALIFORNIA VIEWS BY FANNIE BRUCE Our windows show an assortment of these most exquisite photographs.

Almost by the when at the age of 12 he met a cumbersome road steam engine propelled under its own power on the road near his father's farm. Ford has a magnificent home on the bank of River Rouge, on the outskirts of Detroit. The home is in contrast to that in which he lived when he started his automobile business twenty years ago. He lived in a small house near the business section of Detroit, selected because it had a work shop in the rear. It was this shop that the Ford motor car was developed. When Ford drives himself he usually uses a Ford, one in which some new appliance is being tested. This aspiration and his genius in mechanics caused Ford to work toward one goal—a "Ford" engine, cheap enough and strong enough to be of commercial value. Mrs. Ford accompanied her husband when the first "Ford automobile" was tried out and proved a success—a success as far as a two cylinder engine could be considered as such. She did not ride in the seat with Ford, but walked along to see that everything went right. From the first "noise-making contraption," the Ford Motor company has grown. The surplus in the company's treasury is $359,777,698, while assets are $538,351,939, according to the company's annual report. With the perfection of his automobile industry, Ford bought a railroad and other industries necessary as accessories to his manufacturing business. He now has his own foundry, power plants, coal and ore mines, forests, lumber mills, glass plants, machine shops, blast furnaces, cement plants and manufacturing units in all parts of the United States and Canada. In his industries Ford employs approximately 1,000,000 men. WORTH CONSIDERING The valuation of the fruit crop of California was given in the 1920 United States census at more than $270,000,000. The increase in valuation in a decade, by the same authority, had been over 400 per cent.

Adams THE OSTEOPATH Has opened office again and will be glad to meet all of his old friends, and as many new ones as he can at 220 North Olive Street, ANAHEIM, CALIF. WORTH CONSIDERING The valuation of the fruit crop of California was given in the 1920 United States census at more than $270,000,000. The increase in valuation in a decade, by the same authority, had been over 400 per cent. This phenomenal record, of course, was made possible only by the uniquely favorable conditions for fruit growing existing in California, conditions permitting of the growing to perfection of an almost unlimited variety of fruit crops. In the production and sale of some of these fruits, as everyone knows, California has practically no competition. It is the greatest mistake in the world, however, for Californians to get the idea that the Golden state can continue to dominate the fruit situation to the exclusion of the products of other states merely on the strength of its reputation. It is for this reason that the plan recently broached by farseeing growers of peaches, apricots and other canning fruits of systematically advertising their products to the world should have the most careful consideration. Peach and apricot growers have had a lesson in the last year or so in the shape of sharp admonitions by canners to do the things necessary to insure production of larger, better quality fruit. It has dawned upon them that in this day and age of relentless competition by food products growers and manufacturers they cannot expect to sell any kind of fruit merely on the strength of the fact that it is from California. The world knows that California can produce the best there is, but California will have to continue at all times to do that very thing or its product will cease to command respect. The California standard, it is
