LEGION DRIVE IS ON THIS WEEK Anaheim Expected to Raise Its Quota Without Effort "For those who gave the most!" These are the words which will move California. Every man, woman and child of the state, outside the larger cities, will be asked to do his part for the war veterans who sacrificed their health and the children who gave their fathers that the nation might survive. During the week June 1 to 6, an intensive campaign to raise California's share of the national $5,000,000 endowment fund being established by the American Legion for disabled veterans and orphans of former service men will be made. The campaign will be held in the larger cities later this month. Already a substantial part of California's quota of $400,000 has been raised, according to Nathan F. Coombs, commander of the state department of the Legion. Advices reaching state headquarters of the Legion indicate the fund is meeting spontaneous response everywhere. Some communities already have reported the completion of their local quotas. The state has been divided for organization purposes, northern and southern halves working separately. In northern California the organization work has been directed by Col. David P. Barrows, former president of the University of California, and past state commander of the Legion. The work in Southern California has been completed under Buron R. Fitts, also a past state commander of the Legion. Gov. Friend W. Richardson is directing the work of the state as a whole, being executive chairman of the state endowment fund committee. "The shadow of the war is present in many homes throughout the land today," declared Governor Richardson, speaking of the need for the Legion endowment fund. "It may be reflected in the struggle for subsistence of a woman to care for children whose father's life first two months Januar yand Febru ary, the exports totaled nearly as many as during the entire year of 1923. During the first four months of this year 2000 Oldsmobiles were shipped overseas. "This growing popularity of Oldsmobiles abroad, as well as in this country, is considered entirely fitting inasmuch as the Olds Motor Works was the pioneer in the introduction of American automobiles overseas. At the beginning of this century when the one-cylinder 'Merry Oldsmobile' was paying the way for the present motoring era, this car was being exported to many of the royal families in Europe." Motor Bills Signed By Gov. Richardson Official recognition of the campaign of safety on the highways being conducted by the Division of Motor Vehicles has been given by Governor Richardson in the signing of Senate bills Nos. 599 and 600. Both bills will become effective July 24. The first makes it possible for the division to refuse to grant an operator's license to any person physically or mentally incapable of driving. It provides that all applicants must answer queries as to their physical and mental condition, whether they have the use of all limbs and are inflicted with paralysis or epilepsy. If the division is not satisfied with the information, it may demand a practical driving test. "This is a long step in the right direction," said Chlew Will H. Marsh today. "While it applies only to new operators and is not as strong as I wanted, it will materially assist in reducing accidents by helping to eliminate incompetent drivers." An outstanding safety feature of Senate bill No. 600 is the change back to the old rule of giving the right-of-way to vehicles approaching an intersection from the right. This will eliminate much confusion as to the right-of-way. The following are among other important changes effected by the bills: 1. Relieves farmers with small cars equipped with "box backs" who use them occasionally in carrying supplies.

Yolo county, the first in the state to report their quota, exceeded its share by something like 200 per cent. Upland post, in Southern California exceeded its quota by over 800 per cent. A carload of California fruit donated by the farmers of Placer county has been sent to eastern markets to be sold and the proceeds given to Auburn pos of the Legion for its share in the endowment drive. Throughout the state, according to Department Adjutant James K. Fisk the campaign is being well received and the drive for funds will continue until the entire sum allotted to California is raised for the work among the disabled veterans and orphans of the World War Recommendation that the 500 foreign-born mental patients in California hospitals for World War veterans be sent back to their own countries, provided their relatives are willing to care for them, is to be made to the federal government, according to the decision of the veterans' welfare committee of the American Legion, headed by Major Walter Garrison of Lodi. The recommendation is to be made to the state convention of the organization to be held at Catalina island and to the national headquarters of the Legion. The foreign-born mental patients are now costing the government $170 per month each, and this sum would be cut to $100 and 500 beds liberated if the veterans are allowed to return to their home countries. Word has been received at state headquarters here of the plans for the dedication at Indianapolis, Ind., of the first unit of the $10,000,000 Indiana war memorial, which is to be turned over DO YOU KNOW That 21,000,000 letters went to the Dead Letter office last year?

Huge Increase in Motor Collections The Division of Motor Vehicles issued a report showing an increase of 68 per cent in motor vehicle collections for the month of April as compared to the same month a year ago. Fees for the month amounted to $481,140.25, while operators and is not as strong as I wanted. It will materially assist in reducing accidents by helping to eliminate incompetent drivers." An outstanding safety feature of Senate bill No. 600 is the change back to the old rule of giving the right-way to vehicles approaching an intersection from the right. This will eliminate much confusion as to the right-of-way. The following are among other important changes effected by the bill: 1. Relieves farmers with small cars equipped with "box backs" who use them occasionally in carrying supplies to and from their ranches from paying the commercial rate. 2. Sets up a permanent title file by providing that the pink certificate of ownership need not be renewed until the car is transferred. Registration will be made on the white certificate only. 3. Gives a traffic officer the power to take a violator into court immediately if such violator is unable to produce an operator's card or satisfactory identification. 4. Eliminates the flat registration fee of $80 on electric vehicles and increases the weight fee on them. 5. Forbids use of evidence obtained with "speed traps." Loan Coaches Visits A. E.

And records for the first months of 1925 show a gain of 50 per cent over those of the same period in 1921. "Foreign automobile buyers demand an easily and economically operated car," said L. J. Reuter, general manager of Olds Motor Works. "For that reason we consider this highly favorable attitude on the part of foreign buyers toward the six cylinder Oldsmobile as highly complimentary to both the appearance and performance of the car." "Approximately 1000 Oldsmobiles were exported in 1923, while in 1924 the number of Oldsmobiles sent abroad was nearly 4500. This number, incidentally, is three times the amount of the total production of Oldsmobile a quarter of a century ago. Exports this year are considerably in excess of those for the same period in 1924, and in the Huge Increase in Motor Collections The Division of Motor Vehicles issued a report showing an increase of 58 per cent in motor vehicle collections for the month of April as compared to the same month a year ago. Fees for the month amounted to $481,140.25, while those of a year ago amounted to $303,-551.80. This huge volume of business enabled the division to effect a material saving in the cost of collections, the report said. Although the volume was 58 per cent greater, the payroll costs showed an increase of only 8 per cent. The increase in collections was $177,288.45 while the increase in payrolls was $2,856.04. "Unless unforeseen difficulties arise, the cost per registration will steadily decrease as the volume of business grows greater since the organization for handling a heavy increase has already been perfected and the slack taken up," the report said. "The saving made will be reflected in additional money turned over to the highway commission and counties for road work." Indicative of the activity during the month in the automobile business and particularly in used cars, the report shows 96,455 transfers were made in California during April as compared to 42,437 a year ago. Nearly 50,000 passenger cars, 10,000 pneumatic trucks and 3000 solid trucks were registered during the month. Barney Oldfield made a new world's record by traveling at the rate of a mile in 53 seconds in a race he won on the track in the old Los Angeles Agricultural Park, now Exposition Park. The race was under the management of the Automobile Club of Southern California. Barney drove his "streak of greased lightning," the Green Dragon. The highest price ever recorded for grass steers at the Los Angeles stock yards was on May 4, when a lot from Morced brought $9.60 a hundred pounds.

EXAMINATION IS NOT COMPULSORY Parents Must Sanction Medical Treatment of Children The Public School Protective League has issued the following statement to its members: "It should be thoroughly understood that physical examinations and medical treatment of pre-school age children, although urged, sanctioned and recommended by local, state and federal bodies, are not compulsory. No law of the state backs the widespread movement of the political forces now seeking control of the pre-school children, but unless the endency to place more and more power in matters of physical examinations and treatment of school children in the hands of public health administrators, is curbed. Californians may find themselves at no distant date in the position of accepting state medicine. Would this be any more acceptable than state prescribed religion? It is only a step from one concession to another, and what today may appear to be a fine privilege, a public benefaction, solicitous, kindly supervision; a lifting of the expense and burden from parents, may, by a few turns of the wheel of some future pro-medical legislative body, be resolved into law—law compelling all parents to submit the care of the bodies of all school children, and perhaps their own, to the control of whatever particular school of medicine may have then gained the reins of governmental power. "Wholesale physical examinations and medication at best may be decidedly superficial, inefficient and perhaps dangerous. School diagnoses, given hurriedly and wholesale, are often erroneous. School funds appropriated for the purpose, while already a heavy burden on the taxpayers, are undoubtedly inadequate to employ the highest specialized talent, and to guarantee the thoroughness and accuracy of diagnosis operation and treatment which such paternalistic service should insure." Ranchers Arrayed Against New Road Vigorous Protest Against Manchester Boulevard Extension Ranchers of the Orangethorpe and West Orange districts, to the number of approximately 150, took part in a joint mass meeting Thursday night in the Orangethorpe school house and adopted an active program of protest to be directed against the proposal recently announced, of projecting Manchester boulevard, Los Angeles, across Orange county in a manner which, they claim, would damage their ranches without adequate retribution. Dr. John E. Waters of the West Orange district was named chairman of the meeting and gave a report of what the ranchers in his district had already accomplished in the work of organizing their opposition to the road program. He declared that protect petitions circulated had already received the signatures of more than 75 per cent of the property owners of West Orange, who would be vitally affected by the proposed boulevard, and that, so far, practically no opposition to them has been encountered among the ranchers. In regard to the probable cost of the proposed highway, Dr. Waters reported that the county road commissioners' office gave him an estimate of $40,000 a mile for the construction of a road 30 feet wide, and stated that, to construct the bridge, which would be necessary over the Santa Ana river, would cost approximately $100,000. These amounts, he pointed out, do not include the necessary condemnation costs, or the cost of the ornamental lighting system proposed, both of which would also have to be borne by an assessment district formed along the road. He gave it as his opinion that the ultimate result would be the virtual confiscation of the ranchers' property. J. E. Durkee of the Orangethorpe district, declared that, though the road extension programs proposed is unquestionably a "vicious" proposal and Charles Peltzer of Garden Grove road, Mr. McDueell of Orangethorpe and Henry Witt and Claude Minter of West Orange was appointed to act for the ranchers in actively protesting the proposed highway program. The committee was instructed to circulate the petitions among all ranchers vitally affected from Buena Park to Tustin and to present them at the next meeting of the board o f supervisors with the request for a statement from that body as to their attitude. INDIAN SKELETONS FOUND AT BEACH Bones of Pioneer Residents Unearthed by Workmen Discovery of the Indian skeletons by workmen laying water mains on the Pallisades at Newport Beach has aroused the interest of scientists in old Indian camp grounds. Professors from the Southwest Museum at Los Angeles are making pilgrimages to the spot. Stuart Cundiff, assistant engineer of Newport Beach, who is supervising the construction of a water system, brought the information to effect that eight skeletons were taken out of one hole, 5x8 feet in size, and that the forms measured from 6 feet 7 inches on down, with none under six feet, while the size of their thigh and shoulder bones indicated they were men of brawn. Movie people also dug up a skeleton at the Point of Rocks, below the home of W. J. Hole. This was also larger than the average man of today. The discoveries have been made in virgin soil; never before disturbed in the time or memory of men now living. Mr. Cundiff states that the skeletons found in the hole looked as though they had never been buried and that the sand had covered them. One of the forms was standing on its head indicating that the group were either killed and thrown in one pile, or left where they fell. This discovery was made just east of the Pallisades tavern. One large builder of granite was Loan Commissioner Visits in Anaheim Declares Both Our Associations in Flourishing Condition A. E. Falch, state building and loan commissioner, visited the Anaheim Building and Loan Associations yesterday. His visit to Anaheim is in line with his plan of visiting all the building and loan associations of California this year. Mr. Falch is much pleased with the splendid work done by the local associations in urging people to begin systematic saving to achieve ownership of homes. There are two building and loan associations in Anaheim; namely, Anaheim Building and Loan Association, S. P. Selerson, secretary, and Savings, Loan and Building Association, Fred A. Backs, Jr., secretary. These associations now have assets amounting to $1,317,697, as compared with $1,086,722 a year ago, an increase of $230,975. "Like other building and loan associations of California," stated Mr. Falch. "all the Orange county associations are making remarkable progress and are leaders in the movement of community upbuilding. Many new homes have been built in Orange county through the assistance of these associations, and hundreds of people have become better citizens through the lessons of thrift and saving which they have taught as members of the associations." There are seven building and loan loan associations in Orange county. All of these associations have made a wonderful whatever particular school of medicine may have then gained the reins of governmental power. "Wholesale physical examinations and medication at best may be decidedly superficial, inefficient and perhaps dangerous. School diagnoses, given hurriedly and wholesale, are often erroneous. School funds appropriated for the purpose, while already a heavy burden on the taxpayers, are undoubtedly inadequate to employ the highest specialized talent, and to guarantee the thoroughness and accuracy of diagnosis operation and treatment which such paternalistic service should insure." The Public School Protective League of Los Angeles holds that the persistent attempts being made to place the physical welfare, as well as the mental cultivation, of the rising generation under the control of municipal or state institutions tends to weaken and undermine the platforms of democracy and individual rights upon which American citizenship is founded. Those parents who shunt the responsibility for their child's health and general welfare to public institutions may reap the fruits of such shirking when in the years to come, the child realizes that perhaps in his youth he did not have that individual care to which he was entitled, and asks the parents "Why did you deny me my birthright?" J. E. Durkee of the Orangethorpe district, declared that, though the road extension programs proposed is unquestionably a "vicious" proposal and would work a distinct hardship upon the ranchers affected. In his opinion, every effort should be made to preserve for the ranchers a favorable public opinion. He pointed out that nothing could be gained from a protest directed at the road itself and suggested that the ranchers take their stand only against the proposed method of financing it. His resolution emboldying these ideas however, was tabled on motion of Mrs. C. L. Montgomery of Santa Anna, who declared that no half-way protest should be adopted. She declared that the construction of the road as proposed would practically ruin many ranches and would be an insufferable hardship, even if the ranchers were not required to pay the costs of construction.

Many new homes have been built in Orange county through the assistance of these associations, and hundreds of people have become better citizens through the lessons of thrift and saving which they have taught as members of the associations." There are seven building and loan associations in Orange county. All of these associations have made a wonderful growth during the past year, showing that Orange county is forging ahead in the building and loan movement. The combined assets of these associations in 1924 were $3,800,228, as compared with their present assets of $4,535,361, a gain of $735,123. There are now 160 building and loan associations in California as compared with 138 associations a year ago. The total assets of these associations will be about $143,000,000 by the close of this year, a growth of about $38,000,000. "There are no safer financial institutions in California than the building and loan associations," said Mr. Falch. "They are governed by stringent laws and these are rigidly enforced. In addition to the protection given investors in building and loan associations by effective laws, should be mentioned the splendid type of men at the head of the associations and their high standing in their communities. "There has not been a single failure among the building and loan associations in California in 12 years, a remarkable record. Throughout the United States the safety of building and loan associations is proven by the records. Among the 11,000 associations in the United States, with four billion Jollors assets and having 7,000,000 members, there was less than $250,000 loss from failure in one year, or seven thousandths of 1 per cent of the assets. Remembering this safe service, the associations are doing, and the fact that they are yearly adding $64,000 homes to the country and the savings accounts placed with them are increasing about a billion a year, it will be apparent to anyone that these agencies are important factors in the development of the United States."
