ANAHEIM GAZETTE ESTABLISHED 1670 ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR.....$1.50 SIX MONTHS.....$1.00 THREE MONTHS.....$ .50 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter OUR GLADIATORS A gladiator imported from across the Pacific died in California last week, bringing to attention once more one of the queer contradictions that persist in our modern civilization. Pancho Villa, an undersized jungle man born in the Philippines, was one of a tough, drwarfed, energetic and obscure race, whose originals are not clearly known. He was born on the outskirts of savagery. He rose to a place where civilized men crowded to see him, admire him, applaud him; and he rose, not by any strange expertness in the ways of civilization, but by his uncanny skill in the ways of the jungle. In barbarous ancient times, the imperial city of Rome brought fighting men from Britain and Africa and the Orient to display their prowess on the sands of a great arena. Men who searched out, so that the populace might have a thrill from strange combats fought with outlandish weapons were Scythians with curved swords were matched with German giants who fought with spike clubs. Despite their slavery, the victors were showered with gold. In our own effete and civilized time, we are doing the same thing. We import a Senegalese negro with an indi-rubber body and a foggy mind, match him with a half-witted Slav from the Chicago stockyards, and are greatly edified by the resulting hostilities. One of our emissaries found Pancho Villa for us, brought him over 3000 miles of ocean, eventually matched him with a middle-aged Welshman who had also crossed an ocean for the event, and bestowed upon him the title of flyweight champion of the civilized world when he battled the Welshman in subMEAT INSPECTOR SUBMITS REPORT Anaheim Beef Company Complying With Sanitary Law According to the annual report of John H. Bowers, chief meat inspector for Orange county, on file with the board of supervisors, 24,488 animals were slaughtered in Orange county for the fiscal year ended June 30. During the 12 months period the officer made 4161 inspections. The slaughtered animals were divided as follows: Cattle, 6062; hogs, 10,721; sheep, 5006; calves, 2681, and goats, 19. Inspections of meat markets numbered 2524; fish markets, 140; poultry markets, 74; meat and fish trucks, 132; slaughter houses, 741. Improvements or changes requested numbered 287, and the improvements and changes complied with, 263. The inspector disclosed that he condemned 95 carcasses during the year—36 cattle, 45 hogs, four sheep and 10 calves. In opening his report, Bowers said that the grand jury in 1924 received several complaints about unsanitary conditions of slaughter houses, the complaints resulting in appointment, by D. Eyman Huff, foreman of the grand jury, of a committee to investigate the conditions. In his report the inspector says: "This committee found six slaughter houses in operation. Their report showed that three of these were in a deplorable condition and, with the exception of the Anaheim Beef Company located in Anaheim, no inspections were being made. One place in particular was noted for the unsanitary and careless condition. This place had 23 dead hogs in the yard and the butcher was busily engaged in killing those left alive. All of these hogs had been or were sick with cholera. This place has since been closed. Of the two other slaughter houses in operation, the offal was being fed to the hogs in pens just outside and without being cooked. This committee further found that known tubercular cows were being brought these slaughtered cows." Anaheim did Santa Barbara rea through the local Gas Company, w Santa Barbara an to J. C.

Now Villa has gone, and some say that his successor will be a lad who has just been graduated from a Los Angeles high school. OUR MERCHANT MARINE When the time approaches for the opening of congress, there will be a quickened public interest in the American merchant marine. Whether the government continues, as at present, to operate the merchant fleet, or whether it is turned over to private shipping interests and kept alive through government aid, one thing is certain—the American flag shall remain on the seas and that we shall not return to the unfortunate condition which afflicted us as a maritime, or rather a non-maritime nation, before the World war. Under efficient government operation of the merchant marine the loss of such operation is being steadily reduced. Those who advocate a merchant marine, privately operated, say that such a marine, with government aid sufficient to keep it going, would cost the taxpayers a great deal less than it is costing them today. Be that as may, it is the duty of the American people to see to one thing, and that is that our merchant fleet is not destroyed. The advantages of a permanent American marine are untold from a material as well as a patriotic standpoint. It provides surer and more adequate service for producers and shipers, and gives the Americans some chance to say what rates are to be charged for American goods shipped abroad. From a naval standpoint the advantages are, of course, insimable. The American people still remember what the lack of a merchant marine cost us when we were suddenly plunged into the World war, and they do not want to be called on at some future date to repeat the expensive experiment. And the next time the situation might be much more serious than it was in 1917, when the allied navies dominated the situation to our advantage. GROWTH OF GAS INDUSTRY "The present tendency to conserve our national resources, especially oil and natural gas, make it inevitable that the manufactured gas industry will have to shoulder the heating problems of the country," says Charles A. Munroe, for gold. tection of the Anaheim Beef Company located in Anaheim, no inspections were being made. One place in particular was noted for the unsanitary and careless condition. This place had 23 dead hogs in the yard and the butcher was busily engaged in killing those left alive. All of these hogs had been or were sick with cholera. This place has since been closed. Of the two other slaughter houses in operation, the offal was being fed to the hogs in pens just outside and without being cooked. This committee further found that known tubercular cows were being brought into these slaughter houses, butchered and the meat placed on the market absolutely without inspection. This, of course, was an unbearable condition. "Upon the report of the committee, the grand jury saw fit to recommend to the county board of supervisors that ordinances be passed whereby these slaughter houses would be inspected at frequent and regular intervals and the unsanitary and unhealthy conditions eliminated. The present board of supervisors immediately passed and adopted the necessary ordinances governing this inspection service. "These ordinances, among other things, specified that all meat slaughtered in the county should be inspected by a veterinarian inspector and that no meat should be allowed to be sold unless it bore government, state, county or city inspection brands. In order to facilitate this work, it was found necessary to appoint two veterinarian inspectors, one to act as chief meat inspector, with headquarters in Santa Ana, and the other to acts as assistant meat inspector, with headquarters at the Anaheim Beef Company, the output of meat from the above mentioned company being so great that it required the services of one man on a full time basis. The chief meat inspector was to take care of the smaller slaughter houses of the county, look after the butcher shops, meat wagons, fish and poultry markets. "All meat slaughtered is examined for signs of disease, particular attention being paid to tuberculosis, cholera actinomycosis, enemaation and immature veal. At the same time this meat inspection is made, a thorough inspection of the plants, personnel and utensils is made. Every plant must be kept in a clean and sanitary manner. In addition to the above, the chief meat inspector makes the rounds of all the meat markets in the county, where he notes the condition of the plant, the personnel, implements, condition of the coolers and the condition of the meat in the coolers. All this meat must bear the brand of one of the above named authorities. The object of this meat inspection service is to give the people of Orange county meat that has been inspected at the time it is killed and to see that it is handled in the most sanitary manner possible. The proprietors of all meat markets and slaughter houses in the county and their assistants are co-operating with the county meat inspection department in putting on this work.

Munroe, former president of the American Gas Association. "The gas industry is now equipped to supply all immediate fuel requirements for industry, millions of dollars having been spent for improvements and new construction during the past two years. "We must now go a step farther by developing gas burning appliances to make gas the universal fuel, as it is now the most economical medium, for even the most intricate and exact of heating operations." He proposes the establishment of an organization, underwritten by manufactured gas companies, to develop efficient gas burning equipment for all fuel users in industry and enable the gas companies to meet demand for gas fuel wherever heat is required. California Has Many Good Friends Afar California owes a great debt of gratitude to friends, almost numberless, in distant places throughout the United States, who are ready, on the instant, to defend this state against any flagrant misrepresentation or malicious detraction. It is exceedingly fortunate for California that there are so many intelligent, influential, broad-minded men and women living in divers places in all the states of the Union who, at some time—or perhaps several times—have visited California and are conversant with conditions here. So, when they hear lurid tales or read exaggerated reports, alleging adverse conditions here, they are prompt to step into the breach and to deny these fabrications and to stand loyalty by California. This species of loyalty, coming from such source, is particularly gratifying. It has weight and influence. It is disinterested. It comes from those who have no ulterior motives and no self-aggrandizing aims. They are fair and they will not stand by and permit a great state to be labeled in their presence without entering vigorous protest, just as a loyal friend will not permit one to be aspersed in one's absence without defending one against aspersion. Toward these thousands of good and true friends, scattered about all over the land, California feels the warmest and most grateful appreciation. Their faith in this state is not misplaced. Their loyalty is not received and treated with indifference. It is priced highly. It is well at times, for Californians to give expression to gratitude to these loyal, steadfast friends in other states.

Anaheim Assisted Stricken Neighbor Edison Company's Men Helped Repair Broken Lines Anaheim did its share in helping Santa Barbara recover from the recent earthquake and get back to normal, through the local Southern Counties Gas Company, which serves gas at Santa Barbara and Montecito, according to J. C. Hayden, Orange county manager of the company. Seven trucks and a crew of local gas company men, all experts in their lines were sent from this district and spent more than a week in the stricken city working long shifts in order to enable the company to resume gas service to the 7500 consumers. On the same day that the earthquake occurred, Hayden sent seven fully equipped trucks, together with an emergency crew, to Santa Barbara. Arriving in the northern city on the day of the disaster, this crew did valuable work in assisting the city's engineers in cleaning up the fallen debris from State street and in the stricken zone. In less than 24 hours after the earthquake the local gas men were at work on their huge task of repairing the Southern Counties Gas Company's damaged distribution system. Investigation showed that the company's mains were severed in more than 50 places, while 250 services were broken. The first emergency move made by the company was to shut off each of the 7500 services throughout Santa Barbara and Montecito, with the view of preventing fire or explosions. When all services had been disconnected, the company began the task of reconstructing the damaged mains. Special low combustible gas which gave off a strong odor was manufactured at the company's plant and turned into the mains. Because of the strong odor made by the gas, the emergency crews were able to locate easily the leaks and hastily repair the damaged mains. One man in Santa Barbara, Henry F. Ketz, early watch engineer for the company, deserves great praise for his cool-bodied work in the emergency.

It also indorsed the effort of the women's clubs to enlist at least 150 of the most talented players and dancers in the county for the historic pageant, "The Birth of an Empire." The rodeo will be built around the nucleus of 25 bucking horses from a western circuit, a number of local "outlaws," and probably some trained animals from motion picture studios. Ed G. Stinson of the rodeo committee, reported that gaited animals from the Marco Hellmar and other stables probably will be secured, and that steers for riding and roping will be furnished by Orange county ranches. "We want the funniest clown that ever tried to ride." Stinson said, in announcing contemplated arrangements, "for an orange race or potato race, polo played with a basketball, trick riding, and a merchants' race, in which men undo packages, pit on the garment contained, mount and race their horses. There will be prizes for the best cowboy, and other features." Mrs. J. V.

He has conferred with John Hays Hammond, who was chairman of the United States Coal Commission two years ago; he has talked with Secretary of Labor James J. Davis, and other men who are in close touch with the situation. While the President believes that every man should receive honest and good wages, that business should receive a proper return, he is likewise determined that the great mass of the American public shall not suffer because of lack of fuel with which to run the industries of the country and to heat the homes of the citizens of the nation. He is likewise determined that fuel shall not be sold at an exorbitant figure.
