WAR DEPARTMENT BACK ON PEACE BASIS America's System of National Defense Signally Proving its Success The year 1923 has been the first since the World war during which the war department could give fairly complete attention to normal peace-time activities. After the war, the department was occupied to a large extent with problems of readjustment, which gradually decreased until the past year, when it was free to concentrate practically all of its attention upon training and mobilization programs. Disposition has been made of most of the war-time surplus. Temporary camps and army bases had been dismantled or sold. Caretaking detachments had been released for their proper duties. The regular army units had been reconcentrated and relocated after successive reductions. Plans for the allocation of the National Guard and the Reserves had been completed. The National Guard had been reconstituted and the organization of the organized reserves was well under way. The army was ready to give careful attention to preparation for future service. The chief tangible accomplishments of the year have been a general progress in training of all military elements, the growth and further organization of the reserves and reserve headquarters, and the development of plans for mobilization. The number of reserve officers has grown from 69,000 to 82,000 and the commissioned strength of the organized reserve divisions from 61½ per cent to 81½ per cent. With establishment and preliminary functioning of these skeleton units and headquarters in the section first should glance to his left and, if any other vehicle has entered the intersection from the left, this latter vehicle should be allowed to proceed. Traffic blockades may be reduced if the motorist, who reaches an intersection and observes that vehicles from the right and left already are passing through, will refrain temporarily from going ahead in fact, he has no right to proceed into the intersection and cause a blockade of traffic. One important condition in the right of way rule is that any motorist who at any time enters an intersection in excess of the lawful speed forfeits any right of way that he otherwise might have had. This provision compels every motorist to observe the speed regulations before he can claim any right of way at street intersection. Vehicles entering a public highway from a private drive or road must yield the right of way to all vehicles approaching on the public highway. Drivers generally have recognized the value of this rule, as private drives are often so narrow and hidden by hedges and trees that the driver on the public highway is unable to perceive a vehicle emerging. Another provision that must be noted by drivers is to the effect that police and fire department vehicles shall have the right of way over all other vehicles. Every motorist upon hearing the siren of an approaching police or fire department vehicle immediately should drive to a position as near as possible and parallel to the right-hand curb of the street and remain there unless otherwise directed by an officer until the police or fire department apparatus has passed. These interpretations of the Callidege.

The number of reserve officers has grown from 69,000 to 82,000 and the commissioned strength of the organized reserve divisions from 61½ per cent to 81½ per cent. With establishment and preliminary functioning of these skeleton units and headquarters in the local communities about the country it has been possible to make arrangements for mobilizing our man power. In June, 1923, we were able to announce that we had for the first time, a complete scheme of mobilization. This we consider a noteworthy achievement. It is all the more noteworthy because it also comprises the mobilization of industry, of civil products as well as of citizen soldiers. Manufacturers of all sections have voluntarily assisted the War department and, although the need for strict economy restricted the work to very modest limits, there have been definite indications of the success of plans for cooperative procurement of supplies, equipment and material. To those in the War department who have been concerned with putting into effect the provisions of the national defense act of 1920, the outstanding result of the year has been the pronounced enthusiasm with which our citizens have responded to opportunities for military instruction. Whether their work was in the camps, armories or lecture halls, the zeal of these citizens has been an inspiration and incentive to all who came in contact with them. Our National Guard, commanded to a large extent by leaders tested in active service during the World war, has never been in a higher state of efficiency. Applications for training from members of the Officer's Reserve corps have far exceeded the numbers limited by appropriations. Those who attended the camps gave unceasing interest and attention. They possess a broad conception of our military situation which constitutes an effective safeguard against both public relaxation of vigilance and thoughless precipitation into conflict. In their preparatory work in the Reserve Officers Training corps and the citizens' military training camps, our younger men are emulating the example of the National Guard and organized reserves in which components many will in the future, become officers. The Reserve Officer's Training Corps are noted by drivers is to the effect that police and fire department vehicles shall have the right of way over all other vehicles. Every motorist upon hearing the siren of an approaching police or fire department vehicle immediately should drive to a position as near as possible and parallel to the right-hand curb of the street and remain there unless otherwise directed by an officer until the police or fire department apparatus has passed. These interpretations of the California vehicle act are given by the legal department of the Automobile Club of Southern California, which organization is campaigning to make 1924 a minimum accident year. Casualty investigations have shown the larger part of the accident toll could be averted if drivers obeyed the law and used reasonable diligence in driving safely. EXPECTS TO ASSIST INCOME TAX PAYERS In preparation for rendering every assistance possible to income taxpayers of Orange County, Rex B. Goodcell collector of internal revenue, today announced in Los Angeles, schedule of dates on which deputies will visit various communities of Orange county to assist in the preparation of reports. Those who have been burning "midnight oil" in efforts to compile their reports from the mass of data they have accumulated upon which to base their filings, and who have been puzzled as to what items may or may not be entered as legitimate deductions, will have opportunity to consult the experts—a service, Goodcell believes that will be fully appreciated. In a public statement today, Goodcell said that "the duty of the deputies is not only to see that the taxpayer includes in his return all taxable income, but also to safeguard the taxpayer's interests by making sure that in filling out his return he receives the benefit of every exemption, credit and deduction that the law allows. "In other words, the deputies instructions are to see that the income taxpayer receives an absolutely square deal and is thoroughly advised as to his rights. Dates upon which the deputies will be at different points in the county were announced as follows: La Habra, February 11 to 12, First State bank; Brea, February 13-16, La Habra Valley bank; Yorba Linda, February 18, First National bank; AUTO STREET RULES Street intersection accidents are becoming so common that it appears to investigators many drivers do not clearly understand the right of way rule laid down in the California Vehicle Act of 1923. This reads as follows: "A vehicle entering an intersection of the public highways at a lawful speed shall have the right of way over a vehicle approaching from its left, unless such vehicle approaching from the left shall have entered first into such intersection at a lawful speed, in which event the vehicle on the left shall have the right of way." Entering an intersection is crossing the property line prolonged across the street. The motorist on the right has the right of way when he enters the intersection at the same time as the motorist on the left. However, the motorist on the left has the right of way when he enters the intersection before the motorist on the right. A motorist about to enter an inter- COOLIDGE'S PERSONALITY Among the personal as well as the political admirers of President Coolidge is Senator S D Fess, of Ohio. The senator, in his home state, has been recognized for years as one of the leading figures of the country. He has occupied many positions of trust and has been a life-long advocate of a comprehensive educational system, as well as an exponent of upbuilding the nation. In discussing the attitude of the people toward President Coolidge Senator Fess, in exclusive interview Monday, said: "There are few instances in American Political history where a Jander has so quickly and firmly won the ANAHEIM GAZETTE American public as has President Coolidge. The simple and romantic manner of his taking the oath of the entire people. His attitude on public issues displaying his clear cut conviction and admirable courage proves his wish to perform his duty wholly unconcerned about 1924. This makes his campaign a spontaneous demand of the people. "The American public greatly admires a man of clean living, high standards, truly and genuinely American in his impulses and policies. The American public is thinking more about duties of citizenship in regard to law and order, especially at a time like the present." "The remarkable popularity of President Coolidge, which will continue to grow, is largely due to his belief in and emphasis on the importance of the moral values of a nation. This accounts for the united good will of the church movements in America and the genuine support of the womanhood of the nation, whose primary emphasis is placed upon the home. "I predict that with the coming of the day, through the unfoldment of the President's general attitude upon all questions of vast import to the nation, he will become one of the most popular men of American history. This is because the popularity will not be based upon the passing hour, but principles that are abiding in the hearts of our citizenship." RENEWED ACTIVITY Predictions that renewed activity in the northern Orange County oil fields would be evidenced after the first of the year, are proving true with the activity started in Brea canyon by the General Petroleum company. whereby the Shell Oil company will take over all the gasoline production of the Brea canyon refinery, it is reported. There still remains a great amount of undeveloped oil property in the Brea, La Habra and Yorba Linda fields, and it is predicted that within the next six months this section will again become one of the most active oil centers in the state. THE REASON The village tenor was running around in a cold rain without hat or coat. "For heaven's sake!" exclaimed a friend, "what are you trying to do; catch cold?" "Yeah," said the tenor running in under a rain spout, "that's just what. Our bass singer is slick and I've got to substitute for him tomorrow." M. Eugene Durfee ARCHITECT Room 5, Cassou Bldg.

The Tonner lease in that location, which for eighteen months has been inactive on account of over-production in other locations, will be re-opened by the General Petroleum company, according to reports. This means that the gasoline plant operated by the same company will also be put into operation. The Stearns lease, which is opposite the Tonner lease, is also to be put into full operation at an early date. The Tonner lease produces more than 1000 barrels of twenty-five gravity oil per day. When the Santa Fe Springs oil field was developed and was found to produce a much higher gravity oil, the corporation felt that it would be best to shut down the activity in Brea canyon and reserve these holdings for future development. The Brea field has always been considered by oil experts as a dependable one and one in which production holds up for years. Now that the production at Santa Fe Springs and other fields is rapidly declining, the larger companies are turning their interest toward the old established fields in this district. It is also reported that the General Petroleum company will reopen some of its old holdings in Richfield, Placentia district. The Colinga-Mohawk company is making arrangements to start a well on its newly acquired lease east of Brea.
