Wise and Otherwise By VADNEY A Thoroughbred Here and There We come into this world naked and bare; Go through it with sorrow and care—And if we are thoroughbreds here, We will be thoroughbreds there. Thomas Lawson, author of "Frenzied Finance," and himself a past master in frenzied finance, was buried last week close to the magnificent estate which he once owned and lost. At 16 years of age he made $40,000 in Wall Street, and in 20 years made over $40,000,000, yet died in a hospital, friendless, almost penniless and deserted save by his sons and daughters. But through it all "Tom" was a good winner and game loser. A thoroughbred here, and here's hoping he'll be a thoroughbred there. Oh, M'gosh, Sauerkraut Bootleggers! A writer says that youth is not a time of life. It is a state of mind, but according to William Glendenin, it is neither, it is a matter of how much sauerkraut you eat. Glendenin, who is a noted food research expert of New York, gays if you want to live to be 103 years old, eat sauerkraut every day, and that isn't all of it; he claims the juicy kraut is a wicked bootleger, for it contains .072 per cent alcohol, which violates Mr. Volstead's .050 per cent maximum. The iceed juice, he says, is being sold in the East as a "Manhattan" cocktail. Anaheim grocers, take notice. Law Needed to darlings, she has not only garnered unto herself columns of newspaper space from all corners of the earth, but has been decorated by the French government as an "officer of the academy" and awarded the academic falss by the ministry of beaux arts. The fair Gloria's desire for motherhood is a noble one and should be commended, but between the desire and its ultimate consumption stands the small matter of only six of the aforesaid little darlings with their attendant discomforts. It may be so, time only will tell, but we're from Missouri. Anaheim a "City of Homes" Many huge cities loom against the horizons, flinging on high at twilight; massive masses of silenced factories, of leserted office buildings. When men think of these vast cities, toll, activity, strife, speed, power come at once to mind. Visions of workshops, banks, desks of authority appear. The metropolis stands for business primarily; not for those memories and hopes which rise at mention of that strange word "home." Homes—it is there where nations gather their strength for the centuries. Workshops exist but to maintain necessities and comforts around the million hearths. Great, sudden efforts often fling up seething enterprises, but the growth of the home is as the coursing of the years. "The city of homes" is not built in a day. Slowly it grows and mellows. Month by month, year after year, steadily homes rise on street upon street, a gradual, perfect growth, identical with life. So when in far-distant places men and women, reminiscent of the days spent in Anaheim, speak of her as maintenance adequate. For six years greens to give probationary courts with the officers.

Barnum once said, "A sucker is born every minute." It has been several years since "P. T." made this famous remark, but it seems to be as true now as ever. New evidence is being gathered every day by the authorities showing that hundreds of believers in the cult headed by "Prophetess" Margaret W. Rowan have been victimized into selling all their earthly possessions and dedicating the proceeds to "spreading the light" of Rowanism. Twenty-one persons recently testified in New York that they had given a woman practicing as a "witch doctor" sums ranging from $100 to $2000 to "drive out witches that caused sickness." Superstition seems to have a remarkable hold on the lives of many people, and the pity of it is there is no law to protect them from their folly. Calf-Knees vs. Knock-Knees Dr. Balsinger of Los Angeles—who, by the way, is the doctor who put Jack Dempsey in front of the Kleig lights by revamping his nose—laments the false standard of female physical perfection Flo Ziegfeld and other theatrical managers producing girlle-girl shows have broadcasted to the young ladies of America, who have a penchant for Follies fame. "Thetheatrical gentlemen would have all the women of this country calf-kneed in a single generation if they could," said the doctor, "while the fact of the matter is every perfectly formed woman is knock-kneed." So girls, keep away from the Follies, I say, And give them plenty of room; For if you don't, they'll ruin your build With a calf-kneed pair of—or—limbs. Are We a Nation With Grasshopper Minds? An Englishman declares America has a grasshopper mind and from the million hearts. Great, sudden efforts often fling up seething enterprises, but the growth of the home is as the coursing of the years. "The city of homes" is not built in a day. Slowly it grows and mellow. Month by month, year after year, steadily homes rise on street upon street, a gradual, perfect growth, identical with life. So when in far-distant places men and women, reminiscent of the days spent in Annaheim, speak of her as "a city of homes," they pay the greatest of all human tributes to our beautiful city. CONGRESS FILLS JAILS United States prisons are overflowing and the government hasn't enough money to keep them going because a United States judge wearing imposing robos lacks the power that a tobacco-chewing justice of the peace in a mountain county has to put a man on probation for taking a drink of whisky. Congress is to blame, says the Argus News Agency. The bigwigs can fill jails and penalitaries to a point where the board of health ought to interfere, but they can't use their own judgment about probation as can their little legal brothers dealing with the same offense under state law. Due to the fact that the United States government in enforcing prohibition laws hits into every community in the nation, the question is rising why he is denied the use of the probation system. From the backwoodsman with a big family to the big city politician, these United States judges are continually touching individuals everywhere on the booze question. But they are denied through congressional action the power to use probation and stop a man from further law-breaking while leaving him on the outside of jail to take care of his family. Everybody is taxed to support these men in jail. Tens of thousands of individuals have been sent to jail by United States judges since the prohibition law went into effect in 1919. Thousands and thousands of families have been left wholly or partly destitute while their breadwinners were locked up with criminals and degenerates over this booze business. And all this while the powerful United States judges were denied the right to use their own judgment concerning worthy individuals and suffering families of women and small children through congress' they could," said the doctor, "while the fact of the matter is every perfectly formed woman is knock-kneed." So girls, keep away from the Follies, I say, And give them plenty of room; For if you don't, they'll ruin your build With a calf-kneed pair of—or—limbs. Are We a Nation With Grasshopper Minds? An Englishman declares America has a grasshopper mind, and from the mass of accusations, denials, counter-accusations and more denials in the investigation being held by the House Aircraft Committee at Washington, we could almost agree with him if he said America has no mind at all. It is about time Mr. Public Citizen, the man who pays the bills and suffers the losses, awakens to the fact that the first line of defense for any nation is aviation, and that America, the greatest and richest nation of the world, ranks fifth in air defense, in spite of the fact that with an adequate air service we could build a "Ghinese wall" that would keep enemy fleets 500 miles from our shores. The truth regarding the effectiveness of aerial defense has been made public in the investigation, and America should see the folly of awaiting until the fist of danger is shaken in her face before preparing against invasion. Our first line of defense should be taken from the water and put in the air, and that at once. May Be So, But We're From Missouri Marquise de la Falaise de la Coudrie, nee Gloria Swanson, one time American movie star, now citizeness of France, has proved herself an able publicity agent. By broadcasting to the world that the desire of her heart is to be the fond mother of eight little have been sent to fall by United States judges since the prohibition law went into effect in 1919. Thousands and thousands of families have been left wholly or partly destitute while their breadwinners were locked up with criminals and degenerates over this booze business. And all this while the powerful United States judges were denied the right to use their own judgment concerning worthy individuals and suffering families of women and small children through congress' failure to put through a United States probation law. California superior judges, municipal judges and justices of the peace and even the recorders of the smallest courts in the state have been able to use their noodles and put offenders on probation when it was proper, but the bigwigs could not. Which is typical of the way the United States government does most of its business. For years the United States judges used the equivalent of a probation system in dealing with worth while individuals who for whatever reason had collided with the law. Sentence was pronounced after conviction, but then suspended during good behavior of the man. Lacking the oversight of high-class probation officers, it still worked well and the judges used it continually. Then some trouble-maker got a ruling in a higher court that it was all wrong. At that time about 3000 individuals who had been in the federal courts were at large and after the ruling all would have had to go back to prison. But President Wilson pardoned nearly every man-jack of them all. Since that day, about 10 years ago, the prisons at Atlanta, Ga., Leavenworth, Kansas, and McNellil Island, on the Pacific Coast, have been crowded to indecency. Recently it was announced at Washington that funds provided for the ANAHEIM GAZETTE maintenance of these prisons were inadequate. For six years a bill has been in congress to give the United States judge probationary power and equip the courts with the services of probation officers. Recently the Senate passed the bill, but it has hung up in the House. Adult Probation Officer Nicholls of San Francisco is California leader of a move to get this bill through congress. Congressman-elect Carter of Alameda county is also strongly interested. All California congressmen are being urged to take the action so that prisons overcrowded by the United States government because men take an occasional drink, as they always have, will be relieved of pressure. SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS Map tract No. 675 was accepted by the board. Five hundred dollars was deposited for street work. Fumigating licenses were ordered issued to A. W. Edmonson and William Marshall, on recommendation of the horticultural commissioner. Pool room licenses were ordered issued to Marlano Rangel and O. T. Worthington, on recommendation of the district attorney and the sheriff. Poll room licenses were ordered issued to E. Morales and E. R. Linanag, on recommendation of the district attorney and the sheriff. A pool room license was ordered issued to E. Murphy, on recommendation of the district attorney and the sheriff. Map tract No. 744 was ordered reviewed by the board, and the same referred to the city engineer of the city of Newport Beach. Map tract No. 734 was accepted by forever, and when they see the number multiply each year they are ready to believe all the false stories that can be drummed up about the Southwest and regrettable as it may be, some of them are not backward in helping to circulate the false yarns. But to get back to the subject, when you hear some one unjustly criticizing your town or when you receive a letter or newspaper clipping from the East in which your section of the country is held up as a "horrible example" of all that is bad, do you let it pass with a smile or shrug or do you immediately put on your fighting togs and send back the answer that is due? The individual who fails to make a reply is but one out of a community, but if each were remiss in his duty the aggregate damage would be tremendous. AMERICAN LEGION NOTES "Bonus bootleggers" are the latest law violators to spring up. State Adjutant James K. Flask of the American Legion announces in a warning to the various posts of the ex-service men's organization in California. Although the bonus certificates are not negotiable for two years, Flask points out, nevertheless certain persons have already violated the law providing that "any person, or company lending money to veterans on said certificates during this period are not only breaking the law, but they have in their possession an insurance policy that has become void and will not be recognized by the government at any future time for payment. Boxing has been introduced into the curriculum of Japanese military academies as the result of the American squirrel, a carrier of bubonic and pneumonic plague. State legislators who are members of the American Legion are busy during the recess from their law-making duties at Sacramento interesting their constituents in the proposed $10,000,-000 farm and home loan act which is to be put on the ballot at the next general election. A constitutional amendment providing for a $10,000,000 bond issue to finance loans to the ex-service men and women of the state has already been introduced in the state legislature. The measure closely follows the bond act so overwhelmingly approved by the voters in 1922. The funds from this issue will soon be depleted and more money is needed to carry on the "farm and home" movement begun by the Legion. The state receives back from the veterans every cent loaned, together with a small margin of interest. WOMEN DO THE BUYING The modern woman is a business woman. She makes 80 per cent of all purchases made in retail stores. She is an astute, clever buyer and runs her house on a strictly business basis. The modern woman is constantly in touch with the stores and their offerings. Through the advertising she knows the lowest prices, the best qualities and the latest commodities. Long before she leaves the house for a shopping trip, she knows exactly what she wants, where to get it and how much to pay. She buys merchandise of established reputation. If it's clothing, she knows how well it should wear and what style it should be. If it's food, she Poll room licenses were ordered issued to E. Morales and E. R. Linanang, on recommendation of the district attorney and the sheriff. A pool room license was ordered issued to E. Murphy, on recommendation of the district attorney and the sheriff.

A resolution was adopted that the auditor issue a warrant to Justine Whitney, county recorder, for the payment of her necessary expenses in attending the state convention of recorders at Sacramento, said sum not provided that "any person, or company lending money to veterans on sald certificates during this period are not only breaking the law, but they have in their possession an insurance policy that has become void and will not be recognized by the government at any future time for payment. Boxing has been introduced into the curriculum of Japanese military academies as the result of the American Legion activities in Tokio, according to word received here by James K. Fisk, state adjutant of the organization. Introduction of boxing into the Japanese schools came about through a mixed boxing-jujitsu match arranged by the Tokio post of the Legion, at the request of General Ugaki, minister of war. The match was witnessed by Japanese officers and a group of Americans. An American army captain competed with a Japanese expert. The jujitsu exponent won the first fall, but on the resumption of the match the American officer swung a right cross to his opponent's jaw and the exhibition was not resumed. General Ugaki ordered boxing be taught in the military schools. War has been declared on the ground squirrel by the American Legion. State Commander Nathan F. Coombs of the California department of the organization has asked each of the 300 posts under his jurisdiction to cooperate with the United States Public Health Service and the department of agriculture in exterminating the modern woman is constantly in touch with the stores and their offerings.

SUGGESTIVE SIGNS Weary and disgusted with the indifference of motorists, a sign painter working for safety campaign promoters in Houston, Texas, recently was inspired to paint a few thoughts' of his own to enhance the conventional warnings. A few of these ideas especially suitable for railroad crossings were recently reported to the Automobile Club of Southern California. Among them the following stood out as being exceptionally striking: "Don't stop. Nobody will miss you." "Come ahead. You're unimportant." "Try our engines. They satisfy." "Take a chance. You can get hit by a locomotive only once." A whipped horse never pulled a willing load. It Pays to Advertise When the dimpled baby's hungry, what does the baby do? It doesn't lie serenely and merely sweetly coo; The hungry baby bellows with all its little might Till somenoe gives it something to curb its appetite. The infant with the bottle which stills its fretful cries A lesson plainly teaches: It pays to advertise. FIGHT FOR YOUR TOWN! Did you ever stop to think that cities depend on individuals—that individuals have the making or breaking of the good name of a town? asks Southern California Business, official magazine of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce. Of course this applies to individuals in the aggregate, but nevertheless the individual is the all-important factor. When you allow the name of your town to be maligned without raising your voice in defense, you are to all intents and purposes acquiescing in the sentiments of the defamer. No one knows how far your act may go. There is no section of the country that is more subject to malignment than are the towns of Southern California, and in fact the whole Southwest. There has sprung up in the East and Middle West a jealousy that has led to the circulation of malicious stories with the intention of doing real injury to this section of the country. When business men and lawyers and doctors of the East see one customer or client after another pulling up stakes and moving to the Southwest to make his future home, it becomes maddening, for they know that that customer or client is lost. When the dimpled baby's hungry, what does the baby do? It doesn't lie serenely and merely sweetly coo; The hungry baby bellows with all its little might Till somenee gives it something to curb its appetite. The infant with the bottle which stills its fretful cries A lesson plainly teaches: It pays to advertise. The lamb lost on the hillside when darkness closes round Stands not in silence, trembling and waiting to be found; Its plaintive bleating echoes across the vales and meads Until the shepherd hears it, and hearing kindly heeds. And when its fears are ended, as on its breast it lies, The lamb has made this patent: It pays to advertise. The fair and gentle maiden who loves the bashful boy Assumes when in his presence a manner that is coy. She blushes and she trembles till he perceives at last And clasps her closely to him'and gladly holds her fast, And as he bends to kiss her and as she serenely sighs, This fact is demonstrated: It pays to advertise.
