"Dress Well to Succeed" FLORSHEIM In FLORSHEIM quality you will always find satisfaction. No shoe can give you more for what you pay. Refined in appearance—sturdily built for endurance. The Rialto $10 High lights in the report of Secretary Warren Ashleigh of the Anaheim Y. M. C. A. covering the work of 1924 indicate something of the fine piece of work that has been done there for the boys and girls of the community. The report shows that 42 Hi-Y meetings have been conducted, 25 Junior Hi-Y meetings, 76 Pioneer Group meetings, and other groups of various sorts, totaling 162 group meetings, attended by 3,693. Other activities included gymnasium classes, meeting at the high school, tennis tournament, with 52 men and women playing city basketball league, indoor baseball league, supervised play periods for boys, Girl Reserve training, and many others. Fourteen boys began the Christian life, 28 boys made fresh resolutions for service, 7 boys joined the church and 84 boys took definite forward steps of some sort. On the basis of results achieved, Anaheim has a right to be proud of her Y. M. C. A. Rev. Thomas Walker recently left for the East, summoned thither by the illness of his mother. Word was received from him that his mother passed away shortly after his arrival at her bedside. More than half of those convicted of violating the state motor vehicle law during 1924 were charged with speeding, according to official figures received by the Automobile Club of Southern California. Of these, 250 drivers had their licenses revoked during the year. There were 14,288 motorists penalized for reckless driving. An increase of 35 per cent over 1923 is shown in the number of convictions under the motor vehicle act. Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Magathan, Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Schaeffler and Mrs. Harry Huff were in Long Beach Thursday, attending the picnic of Jayhawkers.

Store NOW FOR UNITED ACTION The battle of ballots is over. The victory of principle is won. The Chamber of Commerce and citizens of Anaheim are standing today as a unit for the construction of a great city, physically, morally and educationally. The past must be forgotten, the future must be enthusiastically revealed. In taking the stand for a constructive policy, the Chamber of Commerce is proud to say it made no mistake. With earnest, honest, God-fearing men directing the Chamber of Commerce we feel sure the confidence of our people in this organization will never be shaken. The five sturdy business men of integrity unquestioned, the chamber supported. These men will assume the reins of government without obligation to any organization, or to any individual. The chamber feels these men will protect the business of our city the same as their own. Each one having made a success for himself, it stands to reason that a successful city administration is ahead. To all those citizens who allied themselves with this constructive policy assumed by the Chamber of Commerce, we wish to express our thanks. The work you desired has been accomplished. To those who thought differently on this policy, we have this to say. The chamber believes you acted honestly and conscientiously; that you thought the best interests of the city would be found in the adoption of your policy. Opposition and strife between two contending principles always brings out the best in man. Now that you have thought and voted your preference, in accordance with the democratic form of government, you convulsions are thinning. Considering this premise, all thin people had better stay away from "Excuse Me," which comes to the California for Sunday only, for this picture is just about the most girth reducing entertainment of the year. "Excuse Me" was a famous stage farce by Rupert Hughes, and this indefatigable worker adapted his play and supervised its production for the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer organization. The laughs brought by this picture are not just occasional squeaks, but continual roars. Maybe the familiarity of the audience for experiences on a Pullman car made the misfortunes of the characters seem especially funny, but certain it is that the locale of the story—a train speeding across the continent—seemed very lucrative for developing comedy, and it must be said that neither Mr. Hughes nor Director Alf Goulding have overlooked any opportunities for collecting laughs. "Excuse Me" is a swift, joyous farce, and it is deftly acted by an excellent cast. Norma Shearer played Marjorie Newton, a society girl who is persuaded by her flame. Harry Mallory (Conrad Nagel), to take a chance of finding a minister on the train, so that she can accompany him as his wife to his new navy post in the Philippines. COLLEEN MOORE IN STRONG ROLE Star Has Tensely Dramatic Portrayal in New Film, "So Big" Colleen Moore—the Colleen of the pouting, capricious flapper ways—has found a new metier in screen characterization. It is the portrayal of To those who thought differently on this policy, we have this to say. The chamber believes you acted honestly and conscientiously; that you thought the best interests of the city would be found in the adoption of your policy. Opposition and strife between two contending principles always brings out the best in man. Now that you have thought and voted your preference, in accordance with the democratic form of government, you willingly submit to the majority, and the chamber wishes to say that from now on there should be continued activity with a united citizenship for a single purpose. Sometimes it is difficult to be a good loser, but just as often the responsibility assumed by the winner is of greater moment. The men and women of Anaheim, whether they lose or whether they win, are big and broad enough to see that the prosperity of Anaheim depends upon high-minded citizenship. Anaheim is our home. Anaheim is the city for which we would give our all. When we unite with a single purpose, we will accomplish it. The differences of yesterday must be obliterated; the friendships of today must be increased, and the love of a community must be developed for the future. Anaheim Chamber of Commerce extends the hand of friendship and love to every citizen. It asks each one to clasp his neighbor by the hand and say, "Let's unite for Anaheim." It believes that peace, confidence and good-will will be established to a greater degree than ever before if we will forget and forgive. Citizens of Anaheim, the future of your city depends on our united action. A city with an assessed valuation of $10,000,000 must not be retarded in its development. Let us pursue the even tenor of our ways with a desire to bring to Anaheim the greatest business it has ever seen. To unite the people as never before and to build a city of which our entire state will be proud, is the ultimate aim of the Chamber of Commerce. Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, HARRY D. RILEY, President, GEO. W. REID, Secretary. BUILDING ACTIVITY BEGINS Chamber of Commerce Reports Much Constructive Work Started According to Messrs. L. W. Baggot and C. E. Crawford, a 10-year lease COLLEEN MOORE IN STRONG ROLE Star Has Tensely Dramatic Portrayal in New Film, "So Big" Colleen Moore—the Colleen of the pouting, capricious flapper ways—has found a new metier in screen characterization. It is the portrayal of mother-love. Colleen's newest vehicle, "So Big," which opens Monday at the California theatre, gives her the first chance of her career to portray a mother. It is the more exceptional in that it presents her both as a young mother and in middle age. As Selina Peake De Jong, Colleen's role in "So Big" covers the gamut of heartaches and sacrifices a mother makes in bringing her fledgling safely through to the harbor of serene manhood. These sacrifices are the structure by which the action of "So Big" is developed. "So Big" is an adaptation of the novel by Edna Ferber, one of the year's best sellers. It is woven around the growth of Chicago in its early days. A Dodge sedan belonging to Charles H. Mann was stolen from in front of the Y. M. C. A. building Friday night. It had been parked by the owner's son, Harold Mann, who attended a meeting inside. A bomb was thrown into the ranks of speeders and reckless drivers on Orange county roads Monday, when M. K. Schaffer, 160 North Larchmont avenue, Los Angeles, a brother of Joe Schaffer of the Santa Ana office of the Automobile Club of Southern California, was given 30 days in the Orange county jail on a speeding and reckless driving charge. Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Neff of Los Angeles were in town the first of the week, looking up oldtime friends. Tuesday was ground hog day. If there is such a critter in Anaheim, and he came out of his hibernating nest, according to tradition, he certainly saw his shadow. That means six weeks of cold, freezing weather. Orange growers should take warning and resurrect their smudge pots from the junk heap. The first building permit in February as his wife to his new navy post in the Philippines. Wells A. Hutchins of the California Department of Agriculture, was in town the first of the week, gathering data relative to early day co-operative irrigation projects. He made a pleasant call at this office, where he secured some of the information he was in search of. Mr. Hutchins is compiling a bulletin on co-operative irrigation for use by the agricultural department of the state. Mrs. Edward Bigelow's car was bumped into by another car on the Long Beach road, some days ago, and overturned. Mrs. Bigelow was only slightly injured. Mr. and Mrs. William McCollum and son narrowly escaped serious injury when their car was recently run into by another car at Compton, some days ago. Mr. McCollum suffered an injury to a leg and an arm, which prevented him attending to business for a day or two. Grunion fishers are looking up the dates for runs this year. Newport Beach authorities on fishing have fixed the dates of the first runs as March 13, 14, 15, 27, 28 and 29.

Crawford, a 10-year lease has been taken on the lot located at 629 South Los Angeles street for the Aeroplane Gas Company. In speaking to the Chamber of Commerce, they stated that A. C. Vary was the contractor to improve the property and erect a building covering 3400 square feet, for about the sum of $5000. This is to be a stucco building and will serve as a garage, service and battery station. All the latest modern improvements of a real super-service station will be found in this place. They stated that their belief in Anaheim was stronger than ever, and nothing stood in the way of the development of a splendid city. Mr. Vary, the contractor, stated that he has a number of buildings ready for construction and, in the course of a few weeks, he believes that Anaheim will be making a record toward real prosperity. The Chamber of Commerce is glad, indeed, to announce that the builders in Anaheim are ever active for her benefit. Constructive activity will ever be the thought as we look forward to a year of prosperity. "EXCUSE ME" TURNS OUT TO BE RIOT OF LAUGHTER Rupert Hughes' Farce One of Season's Funniest Productions Somebody once said that laughing makes you fat, but that very hearty week, looking up oldtime friends. Tuesday was ground hog day. If there is such a critter in Anaheim, and he came out of his hibernating nest, according to tradition, he certainly saw his shadow. That means six weeks of cold, freezing weather. Orange growers should take warning and resurrect their smudge pots from the junk heap. The first building permit in February was issued to Dr. K. A. Loerch, owner of one of the Napoleon Hart buildings on West Center street. The permit authorized the construction of a new front to the building. Robert Montoya, arrested Sunday by the police because he showed symptoms of intoxication, was found guilty in Judge Kuchel's court Monday and assessed a fine of $100. Failing to pay the fine, he will serve 100 days in jail. Twenty-two building permits were issued in January, the total cost being $24,470. Two 18-year-old youngsters, W. D. Hoyle and W. H. Holland, were arrested at Oceanside Saturday evening and lodged in jail, chairgled with stealing Charles H. Mann's Dodge sedan. Constable Ed Marlon went down to Oceanside and brought them back to this city. The boys confessed their guilt. Their homes are in Oklahoma, and they are out on a sightseeing tour. Herman Dickel came down from Pasadena—the first of the week to help cheer up the citizens who were fighting to redeem the city from the Ku Klux. Herman always shows up in Anaheim on election day. Since the announcement several week ago that the Ross Turbine Engine Company was to take over the plant of the Anaheim Foundry, the new company has been deluged with accounts claimed to be owed by the foundry, and the stockholders apparently taking it for granted that the new concern was to reimburse them for their stock. According to the statement issued, the new company is to pay for the foundry on the installment plan, the monies to go toward paying the indebtedness as it comes—but the Ross Turbine Engine Company being in no manner concerned with the payment of any debts or interested in money once it is paid. Provided the Ross company be successful in launching their proposition, it appears that the creditors and stockholders of the foundry will get most of their money. From appearances, they have a splendid organization, with many paying orders to be filled, and once in operation this concern would prove of benefit to the whole community. Another car of 53,000 rose bushes has been shipped from Hemet, Riverside county. TALKENSTEIN'S Announcing the First Showing of Art Schaffner & Marx Hats for Women For Spring 1925 For Spring 1925 Services Start at $47.50 Anaheim J. M. Griffith was down from Los Angeles on Monday, paying a visit to his extensive lumber interests here. There was quite a large gathering of members of the Farmers' Club at Mrs. Langenberger's residence on Monday afternoon, when numerous subjects of interest to the club came up for discussion, among others the prevention of smut on corn. F. A. Korn said that Uncle Jake Everhardy had recently lost three horses from eating smutty cornstalks. A vote of thanks was tendered to Miss Marie Horstman, Miss Annie Everhardy, John Eymann and Charles McKinley for their energetic work on behalf of the meeting of the Pomological Society, held here recently. Mrs. Langenberger and Miss Edith Fay sang a duet from Mendelssohn in German, being accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Jones. Mrs. Langenberger later sang in French "Si Tu Savais," by Balfie. Mrs. Jones favored the club with several numbers on the piano. Messrs. Fay, Rogers, Eymann, Huntington, Korn and others took part in the discussions. Mrs. Langenberger and her daughter, Mrs. Dickel, served refreshments, which were done well as the best dressed and best fed of all the soldiers in the world. However, instances in which soldiers scorning the "chicken feed" and leaving a portion of their monthly stipend on the pay table have become so numerous that a formal order has been issued from headquarters. Ninth Corps Area, directing commanding officers to adopt suitable measures to require the soldiers to take all the pay due them. A portion of the order says: "Under no circumstances will an enlisted man be allowed to leave any portion of payment made to him on the pay table. It is a clear duty of the witnessing officer, as well as the paying officer, to require each enlisted man to take with him the full sum due and counted out to him." SEPARATION OF AIR FORCES Opposing the proposal to separate the air forces from the Army and Navy and unite them in a single air force, Secretary of War John W. Weeks has issued the following statement: "The Army and Navy have long been established as separate and in- SEPARATION OF AIR FORCES Opposing the proposal to separate the air forces from the Army and Navy and unite them in a single air force, Secretary of War John W. Weeks has issued the following statement: "The Army and Navy have long been established as separate and independent arms of the national defense, each with its definite functions and its own particular sphere of action. Their duties and functions do not conflict or overlap, except along the coast line. A system for coordinating the operations of the Army and Navy along our sea coast has been evolved after long experience. This system, though not ideal, serves to avoid, as far as possible, duplication of operations as well as to overcome the inherent lack of unity of command in this restricted area." The secretary of war points out that while the operations of the Army and Navy overlap only along a single line and in areas immediately adjacent to the sea, the operations of a separate air force would overlap everywhere in the sphere of action of either the Army or the Navy. Referring to difficulty which has been experienced in the past in coordinating the action of the Army and Navy along the sea coast, Mr. Weeks says, "Imagine what difficulties would exist in the future with an independent air force continually operating in the zone of action of either the Army or the Navy while our three independent agencies, Army, Navy and Air Force, would have to be co-ordinated along the coast. Such a condition of affairs could end only in disaster in time of war and should not be tolerated in time of peace."
