ANAHIM GAZETTE ESTABLISHED 1870 ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY Henry Kushel, Editor and Prepister SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ... $1.00 THREE MONTHS ... $ .50 Entered at the Anaheim Postmaster as second-class matter AMERICA IN WORLD FINANCE It is highly interesting to read the announcement made by financial leaders that in the past year American investors have received in interest on foreign investments a total of $760,000, exclusive of interest paid to the United States Government on its war loans. This interest was paid on stocks and bonds and other forms of securities given by foreign countries, municipalities, corporations or business concerns, and held by citizens of the United States. The figures may not be entirely accurate, as estimates seldom are, but even if approximately correct, they indicate the extent to which the people of the United States have become factors in international finance. The people thus interested are not limited to the large capitalists but include the small investors who may have bought only a small bond issued by some European Government city, or industrial concern. Banks which have floated those foreign loans do not hold the securities themselves—they sell them to the American public. It would be a mistake to assume that this $750,000,000 is clear gain to the It would be a mistake to assume that this $750,000,000 is clear gain to the financial United States. The fact is that many Europeans hold United States bonds, the bonds of American cities, and the securities of American corporations. On these securities they collect annual interest, which counterbalances some extent if not entirely; the interest paid to Americans. When conditions became unsettled in various European countries, and especially when capital taxes were proposed, investors in those countries shifted many of their holdings to American securities as a matter of caution. As a continuance of that caution, the interest on their American investments may not be going to them in Europe, but may be placed to their credit here, awaiting a time when it can be transferred without danger of confiscation by taxation or otherwise. Ever since the outbreak of the war there has been an unknown but large quantity of wealth sequestered in the United States but subject to the command of citizens of foreign countries. Considerable quantities of gold in the United States have been described as "earmarked," or subject to exportation when its owners call for it. Nevertheless it is highly pleasing to know that Americans have become heavy investors in foreign securities and are continuing the policy of making foreign investments when the proposed loan looks attractive. Time was when American money had practically no foreign investments but good America money was constantly going out in large amounts to pay to foreign investors the interest on their American investments. SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS Steele Findley, contractor, was granted an extension of time of forty-five days, in which to complete his contract for the paying of Grand avenue in Buena Park. Map tract No. 737 was ordered received and same referred to the City Engineer of the City of Santa Ana. It he staying with you tonight?" Shortly afterward John arrived, explaining his delay was due to having been stuck in the mud. Fifteen minutes later, four telegrams were received, each reading: "Yes, John is staying with me tonight."—N. R. S. GOVERNOR WAS WISE Those who criticised Governor Richardson for not calling out the state militia in the Owens valley controversy now concede that he acted wisely in the matter. The Inyo county ranchers staged their revolt for its psychological effect, and were rather good natured about it, but, had armed soldiers been sent to the scene it is very likely that blood would have been shed. The affair was settled amicably for the time being, at least. If worst comes to worst, the welfare and the lives of a million people must not be jeopardized by a little handful of insurgents, but the city of Los Angeles should take immediate steps to give the Owens valley people justice, and do away with this danger once and for all.

BROTHERLY LOVE My brother-in-law is extremely punctual. Forty-five minutes after leaving his office in Boston, he is at home unless he has notified his wife to the contrary. I was visiting them for a couple of weeks when one afternoon, a terrible storm came up and it began to rain "mice and elephants." When John had not reached home by six my sister had me dispatch messages to four of his intimates in town reading as follows: "John has not come home yet." FILM SHOWS HOW GIRL CAN OUTWIT ROBBERS Phone Operator Causes Bank Raiders' Capture by Claver Use of Phones Wires. One of the cleverest bank robberies on record was folled by the quick wit of a beautiful young telephone girl in "Daughters of the Night," the romantic, high-speed telephone drama at the California next Friday. Breaking into a small town bank at midnight, the robbers cunningly unroll and stretch a painted canvass behind the cashier's cage, with the steel safes painted thereon, so that when the cop on the beat looks through the plate glass window he does not discover the robbers operating on the real safes behind the camouflage. But one of the robbers fumbles and knocks a telephone receiver off the hook, instantly replacing it, cunningly. That instantaneous white flash was enough to attract the attention of the girl night operator at the little local change. With quick womanly intuition, she suspects the situation, calls up the bank, gets no answer, then notifies the police. How sticking to her switchboard, though the building catches fire and burns up, she co-operates with a daredevil telephone lineman pursuing the midnight marauders on a motorcycle and is saved by a hair from becoming a victim in the flames to her heroic devotion-to-duty, provides some of REVIEW OF 1924 By SATTERFIELD NOTICE TO CREDITORS ESTATE OF PETER HUTAIN, BR.

Dainty, alluring Alyce Mills is the little telephone lady and a big cast helps her put over the big whirlwind telephone plot. NEW SWANSON-PARAMOUNT PICTURE ADVENTURE ROMANCE Ben Lyon, Trevor, Linow, Joe Moore All In The Cast "Wages of Virtue," Gloria Swanson latest Paramount production directed by Allan Dwan, who made both "Manhandled" and "Her Love Story," will be shown Wednesday and Thursday at the California Theatre. The story is an adaptation by Forrest Haley of the popular novel of the same name by Percival Wren. The picture is a pleasing love tale woven about a young girl, product of the slums, who becomes the toast of the French Foreign Legion. As Carmelita, Miss Swanson has a role ideally suited to her, a part that makes "Wages of Virtue" stand out as the greatest thing she has ever done in her lengthy career. The story has interest and appeal, comedy and all the rest, and we sure miss our guess if it doesn't prove the finest entertainment you've witnessed. In the foreground, at St. Peter's knee, is a huge book. A close up reveals the book is filled with names. Opposite each name is the age and "qualification" of the applicant. Upon this information, St. Peter other admits the newcomer to heaven or consigns him to outer darkness. More than two hundred names were written in this book when it was prepared for the scene. They are not fictitious names, all belong to electricians, camera men, scene shifters, carpenters, painters and mechanics employed at the big Paramount studio on Long Island. If the records is St. Peter's big book may be taken as authentic, most of these persons will have a much tougher time getting into heaven that Richard Dix did. Jacqueline Logan has the leading feminine role in "Manhattan" which will be the feature at the California Theatre next Wednesday only. Gregory Kelly, George Beigmann, Gunboat Smith and others appear in the all-star cast. The story is a romantic action-drama of New York by Jeffrey Farnol, R.H. Burnside directed. "Married Flirta," a screen production of the Louis Joseph Vance novel."Mrs. The picture is a pleasing love tale woven about a young girl, product of the slums, who becomes the toast of the French Foreign Legion. As Carmelita, Miss Swanson has a role ideally suited to her, a part that makes "Wages of Virtue" stand out as the greatest thing she has ever done in her lengthy career. The story has interest and appeal, comedy and all the rest, and we sure miss our guess if it doesn't prove the finest entertainment you've witnessed in many months. Ben Lyon, you remember him in First National's "Flaming Youth," "Painted People," etc., plays opposite the star, heading a real all-star cast. Norman Trevor, Ivan Linow, Jbe Moore, Armand Cortez, Adrienne d'Ambricourt and Paul Panser are but a few of the prominent players in the other roles. FROM HELL'S KITCHEN TO HEAVEN FOR RICHARD DIX From Hell's Kitchen to the Pearly Gates of Heaven is a long journey, even as the crow flies, but Richard Dix makes the trip in a few seconds in "Manhattan" his first starring picture for Paramount. One minute Richard is strolling along the side-walk of New York's famous gang district. A yggman taps him over the head with a black-jack and the next minute our hero is groping through clouds to a massive silver gate, where St. Peter altas on a raised dais and challenges all comers. Stage directors have often grappled with the problem of depicting the Heavenly threshold, but it is doubtful whether the scene has ever been portrayed more graphically than this motion picture. The background is the vast vault of the sky, with the golden rays of a rising sun spreading out fan wise from the far horizon. Jacqueline Logan has the leading feminine role in "Manhattan" which will be the feature at the California Theatre next Wednesday only. Gregory Kelly, George Beigmann, Gunboat Smith and others appear in the all-star cast. The story is a romantic action-drama of New York by Jeffrey Farnol. It H. Burnside directed. "Married Flirta," a screen production of the Louis Joseph Vance novel, "Mrs. Paramor," which comes to the California Theatre on next Monday, was made at the same time the novel was published. In fact the picture was released and came out simultaneously with the book. Robert G. Vignola directed the film production, which tells a smart, brilliantly cynical story of the ultra-modern restless half-idle social set. The complications which are many, are said to be handled with great ingenuity. Pauline Frederick plays the title role; Conrad Nagel appears as Perley Rex; Mae Busch is cast as Jill Wetherell and Huntly Gordon as Pen Wayne. Patterson Dial and Paul Nichilson also have two important parts. This is the first of a series of productions to be made by Robert Vignola for Metro-Goldwyn. Julia Crawford Ivers made the film adaptation. It is a Louis B. Mayer presentation. When a woman can't think of anything else to say about a woman she dislikes, she says the latter is "funny looking." Probably there never was a baby that liked to be poked in the ribs, but every man tries to get acquainted with a baby that way. If wishes were autos, we'd all have limousines. CREDITORS M HUTAIN, BR.

Dated this 31st day of December, 1924. R. V. WILLIAMS, Judge of the Superior Court. The manager of the Elks Club house was arrested Wednesday by Special Officer Barr, and was later fined $50 by Judge Kuchel for operating a punch board. The board was operated for the purpose of swolling the Elks' charity fund, and not for personal gain. The Elks paid the fine out of their charity fund. The cigar stand owned by Herbert Bass on East Center street was broken into by burglar some time during Monday night and a large quantity of cigars and other goods carted away. The burglary was not discovered until Mr. Bass opened the place at 7 o'clock Tuesday morning. The owner was not able to determine the exact value of the goods stolen, but he estimated it at noto far from a thousand dollars. The thieves gained entrance through a rear window. If you wish to find the writers of stories about the great open spaces, look in the small closed steam heated places in New York City. When you "set a thief to catch a thief" the chances are they will combine forces and rob you.
