While Samuel Kraemer was temporarily absent from his home at Placentia on Sunday morning, his two little children, aged three and five years, played with matches and set fire to the lace curtains in their bed room. Mrs. Kraemer was in another part of the house at the time and when the cries of the children attracted her to them, the flames had attained considerable headway. A high wind was blowing at the time and the house was in imminent peril of destruction. She pulled the curtain down and smothered the flames with a rug. Her cries brought a neighbor, who happened to be passing to the rescue, when the flames which had communicated to the woodwork were subdued. Mrs. Kraemer was quite severely burned about the face and arms. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Porter, accompanied by their son-in-law and daughter Mr. and Mrs. McCann, arrived last week from Chicago and will make this city their future home.

THE VALUE OF BRICK Scientists rumming among the ruins of ancient Babylon have discovered why the ancients built so universally with brick. It was a crime to build an unsubstantial building in the days of King Hammurabi of Babylon. A tablet signed by the ancient king about 1900 B.C. was translated recently and the reason for the extensive use of brick in his time was revealed. According to the order of the king if a house collapsed, causing the death of the owner, the builder of the house was put to death. If a son of the owner was killed, a son of the builder was sacrificed to pay for it. It is no wonder that builders in those days took no chances with flimsy, unsubstantial construction. They could not afford to. They used brick. That tablet which has just been translated accounts largely for the number of buildings which were erected in the days of King Hammurabi using brick in their construction. (2) The petition is verified by the affidavit of one of the petitioners, and has been published for at least two weeks next preceding the 27th day of November, 1923, the date of the hearing thereof, together with a notice which stated the time and place when the petition would be presented to the Board of Supervisors, and that all persons interested therein might at said time and place appear before the Board of Supervisors and be heard, which petition and notice was published in the "Anahelm Gazette" a newspaper of general circulation, published in the County of Orange, such publication having been made in and on the 8th, 15th, and 22nd days of November, 1923. (3) That the land included within the boundaries of the proposed district and set forth in the petition, is contiguous territory, located and situated in the County of Orange, California, and all of said lands as situated within the exterior boundaries of the district as described in said petition would, in the judgment of the said Board of Supervisors, be benefited by the formation of a sanitary district, as requested by said Petitioners and, in the judgment of said Board of Supervisors, no lands have been improperly omitted from the said proposed district.
