ANAHEIM BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIATION WM. STOCK, President F. A. YUNGBLUTH, Vice-President S. P. SEIERSEN, Sec.-Treas. WM. FALKENSTEIN, Vice-President MYSTERIOUS DEATH STIRS OLINDA NEIGHBORHOOD Youth Found Hanging on Derrick Believed to Have Been Foully Murdered Belief that Terry Courtney, 14-year-old high school musician and athlete of Olinda, was garroted by fiends who tied the nude body to the crossbar of an oil derrick near his home to cover up the crime, grew in official circles Monday and caused a coroner's jury to return an open verdict, stating only that the boy died of strangulation. When the grewsome mystery was disclosed at dawn Sunday, ending an all-night search by frantic relatives and a posse of oil field workers, police held to the suicide theory because of the absence of marks of violence on the body. But when the boy's parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Courtney, were questioned and told of the happy disposition of the boy and of his normal, healthy life, and of the total lack of motives, the authorities rechecked the various angles of the case. Virtually the only claw that Sheriff Jernigan has to work on was furnished by the boy's father. He told the sheriff that two strange men were reported by E. S. Flanagan, proprietor of a service station in Olinda, to have stopped there Sunday morning shortly after the boy's body was found and to have incurred regarding the boy. father, that the least pressure would have caused it to become untied. Another indication of murder, the father says, is that the boy died of strangulation. If he had tied the rope around his neck and jumped off the derrick floor, as he would have virtually been forced to do, his neck would undoubtedly have been broken by the fall. Virtually the only fact on which to fase a suicide theory is that the boy had suffered from occasional attacks of carache. But the attacks did not pain him so much as to result in temporary insanity, unless some strange complication came suddenly. The tragedy has cast a pall on the small community of oil workers known as Olinda, where the lad was loved and respected by playmates and older persons as well. His parents have lived in the district for 14 years, his father being foreman for a lease of the Fullerton Oil Company. The boy's mother is unnerved by the loss of her son and is almost unconsolable. Her only other child is a small baby. DOING SOME WEEDING The country is still suffering from the off-hand creation of independent governmental agencies all financed with the money of the taxpayers and all functioning largely independent of direct control. The total expenditures Virtually the only clew that Sheriff Jernigan has to work on was furnished by the boy's father. He told the sheriff that two strange men were reported by E. S. Flanagan, proprietor of a service station in Olinda, to have stopped there Sunday morning shortly after the boy's body was found and to have inquired regarding the boy. The men asked Flanagan if the boy was dead, and upon his replying in the affirmative, they said they were interested because they were old schoolmates of the boy. Because of the age of the strangers, they could not possibly have been schoolmates of the 14-year-old boy. Sheriff Jernigan has obtained a description of the two men and will seek to question them. According to Flanagan, the strangers said they had read of the tragedy in a morning paper. This statement is suspicious, officers believe, because at that time no account of the death had been printed in any paper. A man and a woman who are reported to have called at the hillside home of the Courtneys Saturday night, the approximate time the boy disappeared, and who were apparently frightened away by a barking dog, are also being sought for questioning. The manner in which the rope was tied about the boy's neck is regarded by his father as an important indication the lad met foul play. Terry was a Boy Scout and was proficient in tieing knots, the father said, and would have unconsciously tied a hangman's noose knot. As it was, the knot of the noose about the boy's neck was a slip knot, so loose, according to the DOING SOME WEEDING The country is still suffering from the off-hand creation of independent governmental agencies all financed with the money of the taxpayers and all functioning largely independent of direct control. The total expenditures of these various departments runs into many millions of dollars. Ostensibly under the direct control of the President and free of ordinary departmental supervision, it has long appreciated that money was being wasted, and that the country was being committed to a number of "folderol" activities. All this for some time has been holding the attention of the President and in his own matter of fact way he has now ordered a survey of these departments, their personnel and their activities, and particularly their payrolls, with the idea of eliminating or consolidating those divisions which are not justifying the expense. It is about time this was done, and the President has selected the proper moment. It is already intimated that a saving of from $10,000,000 to $20,000,000 is possible. Of course, there will be walling on the part not only of the chiefs of these little governmental principalities at losing their jobs, and there will be additional walling on the part of the gentlemen who got them their jobs in the first instance, but the President need not worry, and is not likely to worry, judging by his attitude in the past, over these temporary teapot tempests which may develop. “HOME”--an Editorial-- Home is a word full of meaning. Speak the word “Home” and you think a thousand thoughts. Only in our language can the word “home” be found. There is no exact equivalent for it in other tongues. One of the deepest human instincts is the desire to own a piece of land to build thereon a home. Human beings are creators—builders. Of the seven wonders of the world, four of them are buildings of some kind. America is a nation of home owners.

Center Street "Sudden Service" Phone Anaheim 95 CEMENT MAKING IS REDISCOVERED LOST ART But Many Accomplishments of the Ancients Remain a Secret Of all the much discussed "lost arts" of antiquity, cement making is the only one which has been rediscovered in modern times. For centuries scientists—real and pseudo—have puzzled over malleable glass, which was a form of glass said to have existed in the days of Romb's grandeur and which could be bent or worked like metal without breaking. Early historians had quite a little to say about this substance, alleging that it was introduced to the court of Nero by a Roman who had been held prisoner in Africa. According to the account, the ex-prisoner brought back a glass-goblet which could be tossed about freely, and could be straightened easily whenever dented or crushed. Modern glass-makers are skeptical of the existence of such a glass at any time, and all efforts to rediscover the art of making it, if there ever was such an art, have failed completely. That copper was tempered to the hardness of steel centuries ago is now pretty well established. Copper chisels have been found in Peru of a hardness far greater than any which it is possible to impart in this day, although modern metallurgists have tried diligently to find a method, and in one or two instances it has been possible to harden the metal slightly. Every once in a while someone announces the rediscovery of the lost art, but the fact that such claims are not followed by the appearance of manufactured tempered copper on the market is the best disproof of the assertions. Could copper be tempered to the hardness of steel, there is no doubt that manufacturers would utilize it for some purposes in which iron and steel labor under disadvantages. The dye masters of ancient Tyre are asserted by historians to have evolved a shade of purple so beautiful that it was eagerly sought all over Europe and northern Africa by nations which had themselves progressed well in the art of dyeing. Except that the extraordinary shade was obtainable from clams or other mussels, nothing is known of its manufacture, and all efforts to reproduce it failed. With the fall of Tyre the secret was lost and has never been brought to light. Cement was discovered by the Romans, who used it extensively for the foundations of their triumphal arches and temples. Excavations in the Forum clearly show on the concrete, marks of the ancient wooden forms, much as present day concrete shows the same patterns. As with Tyrian purple, the art of cement making was lost when Rome fell before the Vandals, and during all the Dark Ages and the Renaissance the secret remained buried. But enough information remained so that some time prior to the American Revolution investigators in various parts of Europe began to make cement of varying qualities in a small way. The first notable use of cement in modern times was in the Edystone lighthouse, off the English coast. This was in 1756. It was also employed in the Erie canal about 1820. These cements were much like the Roman variety, which has stood for nearly 2000 years. They were made of materials which nature had already mixed in the proper proportions. But in 1824 an Englishman, Joseph Aspdin, succeeded in making a stronger cement from materials Men's Shirts Colored shirts, with soft or stiff collar to match, are the mode for business and sport wear this year.

This he called Portland cement, because it resembled a durable building stone from the Isle of Portland, used in building Westminster abbey. A highly developed form of this early Portland cement is the cement of modern commerce, so that the secret of the ancient Romans in this instance has not only been rediscovered but also has been improved upon. A.T. & T. WILL GIVE WIRED PHOTO SERVICE Transmission of Pictures Over Telephone on Commercial Basis Coast-to-coast service on a commercial basis of the new method of transmitting pictures over telephone wires, devised by engineers of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company and the Western Electric Company, has now been established. Thus another age-old dream is realized. The new service involves two-way transmission from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean and joins up New York, images which differ only slightly from direct photographic prints. The new service is expected to be of great value to newspapers in the quick reproduction of news events, to the police in catching criminals, to banks in verification of signatures, and to mercantile establishments generally. Since the first exhibition last year the public has been eagerly awaiting the time when the service would be placed on a commercial basis. WILLIS-KRAEMER Quantities of Easter Lillies and greenery filled St. Mary's Catholic church Wednesday morning, when Miss Emma Rosa Kraemer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Kraemer, pioneer ranchers of this district, became the bride of John Claude Willis at a 9 o'clock ceremony.

Thus another age-old dream is realized. The new service involves two-way transmission from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean and joins up New York, Chicago and San Francisco. It takes only about three-hundredths of a second for the electrical waves to reach San Francisco after they are applied to the circuit at New York. Therefore, the time required for transmission of a complete picture is that required by the sending and receiving machines to trace over the picture point by point—about seven minutes. The time consumed in the photographic process at each end is approximately three-quarters of an hour. Thus, a photograph, drawing, handwriting exhibit, fingerprint or other graphical record for transmittal to San Francisco could be filed in New York at 8 a.m. and an hour later, or at 6 a.m., Pacific Coast time, be available for use in the San Francisco newspapers. The first public demonstration of sending pictures over telephone wires was made on May 19, 1924, between Cleveland and New York. Their practicability for newspaper work was demonstrated at the time of the Republican national convention, when pictures were transmitted from New York to Chicago. During the inauguration of President Coolidge pictures were transmitted to New York, Chicago and San Francisco by an improved process which results in pic-Miss Emma Rosa Kraemer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Kraemer, pioneer ranchers of this district, became the bride of John Claude Willis at a 9 o'clock ceremony. Many friends, in addition to the relatives, witnessed the ceremony. The bridal chorus from "Lohengrin," played on the organ by Mrs. Frank Dauser, was the processional to which the party entered the chapel, the bride and her sister, Miss Lucy Kraemer, who acted as honor maid, approaching from the back of the church and meeting the groom and his best man, Ben Kraemer, Jr., brother of the bride, at the altar. The vows were repeated before Father Mortimer Murphy. Vocal accompaniment was furnished by Mrs. A. H. T. Osborne, who sang sacred hymns appropriate to the occasion. Miss Kraemer's gown was of embroidery in a soft cream shade, worn with a silvery sheen, and she carried a bridal bouquet of carnations. Her sister was gowned in salmon pink crepe de chine and wore a hat of harmonizing hue. She carried gladiolas. Assisting Father Murphy as altar boy was the bride's small brother, and Guy Brunet acted as usher. The nuptial mass followed the ceremony and reception was held at the Kraemer home, where the wedding breakfast was served. After their wedding trip, Mr. and Mrs. Willis will make their home on South Bradford avenue, where a home has been remodeled and furnished for their occupancy.—Placentia Courler.
