CORNER PHILOSOPHY Hell hath no fury like a woman's corns. Red means danger—on a man's nose, ina bull's eye, and on a woman's lips. Almost any man can earn a good salary, even if he doesn't get it. Many a man loses his balance when he settles his wife's bills. The best a knocker can expect from the door of opportunity is skinned knuckles. Some flappers chew gum and some are Wrigley all over. Love may not make the world go round, but it makes a lot of people dizzy. Most millionaires love the great outdoors—for the poor man. An optimist is a man who can make the best of it when he gets the worst of it. A pessimist is an optimist who has married again. Every year is leap year for pedestrians. A modern heroine is one who bolls cabbage in an apartment house. In the spring a young man's fancy—he has to be to get away with it. It is well enough to know some people well enough not to know them. To keep friends treat them kindly—and frequently. A fireman is one person who can talk of his old flames without getting in hot water. A homely baby always resembles its LEGION NOTES With California nearing the top in the drive for her share of the $5,000,000 American Legion endowment fund for the disabled men and World war orphans, the peak of the work in raising the great fund throughout the United States is expected to be reached this week, according to word received by State Adjutant James K. Fisk, from the national headquarters of the organization. Word has also been received that President Coolidge's cabinet is now enrolled 100 per cent in sponsoring the drive. Secretary of Agriculture William M. Jardine is the last of the cabinet officers to accept membership on the endowment fund committee. Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover took an active part in the California campaign for the $400,000 sum allotted to this state while he was home during the past few months. Hoover reported to President Coolidge on the California drive while on his visit to Swampscott last week. Soldiers of the American Expeditionary Forces in France who failed to get their packages from their California friends and relatives may receive them yet. State Adjutant James K. Fisk of the American Legion has received advice from Washington that thousands of keepsakes and comforts intended for the American soldiers in France which never reached those to whom they were addressed were turned over recently by the war department to the postmaster general for distribution through the dead-letter office. Dead-letter office officials will endeavor to lacte the owners, falling which, the things will be sold. Besides $311, in American money, the property includes jewelry, manicure sets, razor blades, pipes and miscellaneous articles of a varied description. With the annual state convention of the California American Legion about a month away, State Adjutant James K. Fisk is completing preparations for the yearly meeting of the ex-service men at Catalina on September 15-17.

A fireman is one person who can talk of his old flames without getting in hot water. A homely baby always resembles its father's people. A free people appears to be one that has no respect for speed laws or grammar. Slowly man outgrows all his queer beliefs, except the one that he can lick Wall street. Flirtations thrill you at 20, bore you at 40 and terrify you at 60. Some people are like Fords—it takes a good crank to get them started. There is no fool like an old fool, but the one of 16, in the first blush of idiocy, is a close second. There were dirt-eaters in the hills long ago; now they are in the car behind. A fool law is one that cramps your style when it's your right to howl. A moron is a girl who ought to put more on than she does. A sheik in the parlor is worth a dozen on the desert! A ripple of laughter is always worth a flood of tears. Yes, Algernon, a person who lives on vegetables is a vegetarian, but a man who lives on meat is not a meteorologist. Courtship consists of a man running after a woman until she has caught him. Many men exist comfortably without two things they were born with—an appendix and a conscience.

Flask is completing preparations for the yearly meeting of the ex-service men at Catalina on September 15-17. Adjutant Flask has been in the South for some days past, conferring with the Legion leaders there relative to the sessions of the organization next month. Fisk sends word to state headquarters here that the advance indications assure a record-breaking crowd at Catalina next month. One of the most elaborate programs of convention business as well as entertainment has been planned for the Southern California convention. Four cities are in the race for the convention next year. They are Susanville, Stockton, Santa Rosa and San Francisco. Colonel Edward L. Mumson, surgeon of the Ninth Corps Area of the army, has appealed to State Commander Nathan F. Coombs of the American Legion to aid in enrolling physicians and surgeons in the reserve units of the United States army. A total of 1985 officers is needed to complete the personnel of the medical units in the Ninth Corps area. This number includes physicians, surgeons, dentists, veterinaries, medical administrative officers, quartermasters and chaplains. Commander Coombs has been asked to solicit the aid of all California posts in filling up the medical units with officers. Wealth Increased $150,000,000 in Year Approximately $150,000,000 has been added to the wealth of Southern California by new arrivals in the last year, according to Frank V. Stump, editor of Southern California Business, the official magazine of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce. This does not mean that $150,000,000 has been spent by tourists, but that the wealth added to Southern California by those who have decided to remain will total this huge sum. It has been conservatively estimated by census officials that every new family is worth to a city about $5000 and that every single individual is worth to a community at least $1000. This would make a general average of about $1000 for each individual, since the average family in Southern California consists of 4.6 persons, according to census authorities. At the close of 1922 the population of Southern California alone was 1,200,000. Today in the middle of 1925, it is very conservatively estimated that the population is 1,800,000.

GOVERNOR'S VETO RECORD In connection with the statement that 480 new laws went into effect last Friday, it is interesting to know that in the last two decades the legislature has passed, and governors have signed, 7450 new laws. It is also interesting to know that following the 1921 session, Governor Stephens signed 915 bills, the largest number signed by any governor since 1905; also that, following the 1923 session, Governor Richardson signed only 479 bills, the smallest number signed by any governor since 1905. This year Governor Richardson signed 480 bills, just one more than he signed following the session of 1923. The foregoing information was obtained from a tabulation by Secretary of State Frank C. Jordan, showing the number of bills introduced and the number signed by governors following legislative sessions during the past 20 years as follows: | Year | Introduced | Enacted | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 1906 | 2068 | 613 | | 1907 | 1988 | 539 | | 1909 | 2705 | 729 | | 1911 | 2878 | 753 | | 1913 | 3922 | 699 | | 1915 | 2868 | 771 | | 1917 | 2676 | 803 | | 1919 | 1879 | 669 | | 1921 | 2286 | 915 | | 1923 | 2128 | 479 | | 1925 | 2151 | 480 | Totals: 27,549 (7450) It has been conservatively estimated by census officials that every new family is worth to a city about $5000 and that every single individual is worth to a community at least $1000. This would make a general average of about $1000 for each individual, since the average family in Southern California consists of 4.6 persons, according to census authorities. At the close of 1922 the population of Southern California alone was 1,200,000. Today in the middle of 1925, it is very conservatively estimated that the population is 1,800,000. These figures of course, include the city of Los Angeles and Los Angeles county. If one takes in Los Angeles and Los Angeles county, which it is estimated gained sufficient population last year to make the added wealth approximately $100,000,000, there is at least $50,000,000 that should be credited to the remainder of Southern California. PILGRIMAGE TO ROME The members of the last California pilgrimage to Rome for participation in the Holy Year ceremonies will leave this state on September 12, and will embark from New York on the steamer America on September 19. The pilgrims, who will include representatives from every county in California, will be presented to Pope Plus XI by Archbishop Edward J. Hanna. The party will spend 10 days in Rome performing the prescribed plious duties, visiting the catacombs and the tombs of the Apostles. The pilgrims will also visit places of religious interest in France, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, England and Ireland. According to Daniel E. Doran, Holy Year director, 606 Balboa Building, more than a hundred San Francisco Catholics will make the trip. ANAHEIM GAZETTE To Begin Work on Transmission Line Southern California Edison Co. to Spend $11,000,000 On September 1 the advance guard of an army of 8000 construction men will begin building the third 220,000-volt transmission line between the Big Creek-San Joquin River power houses of the Southern California Edison Company and the city of Los Angeles, covering a distance of 231 miles, at a cost of approximately $11,000,000. The electrical carrying capacity of the new line will be 200,000 horsepower. The announcement that all of the details for this big undertaking had been completed was made by Executive Vice-President and General Manager R. H. Ballard, following a meeting of the engineering committee of the company today, at which the last details of the project were decided upon. This new transmission line will begin carrying power from the high Sierra to southern and central California by January 1, 1927, when the enormous growth in the demand will require additional transmission. The industrial survey of the Edison-served territory, commenced by Mr. Ballard several years ago, shows that the time has arrived for preparing for the year 1927. The executive vice-president, in making the announcement, called attention to the increase of over 148,000 horsepower for lighting, industrial and agricultural expansion during the year ending July 1, 1925. Of the $11,000,000 which this line and auxiliary buildings with equipment will cost, nearly $6,000,000 will be expended for land, labor, supplies and material purchased locally. The labor on the job will require the expenditure of approximately $3,000,000 for wages. The enormous construction work of the Edison Company since it began active operations on its Big Creek-San Joquin River properties, shortly after the war, has resulted in the location of plants for the manufacture of electrical equipment on the coast which makes of supplies necessary for a construction campaign of this character, the commission department of the Southern California Edison Company has submitted to the executives the following approved estimate of the major items: 300,000 pounds of flour, 70,000 pounds butter, 80,000 dozen eggs, 45,000 pounds coffee, 38,000 pounds compound, 32,000 gallons canned fruit, 50,000 pounds dried fruit, 165,000 pounds fresh fruit, 750,000 pounds ice, 16,500 gallons evaporated milk, 270,000 pounds sugar, 26,600 gallons canned vegetables, 143,000 pounds fresh vegetables, 490,000 pounds potatoes, 270,000 pounds fresh beef, 45,500 pounds fresh pork, 58,000 pounds veal, 60,000 pounds assorted meats, 45,500 pounds bacon, 60,000 pounds ham. The transportation of a total tonnage of 8500 tons of material, in addition to conveying the men to the camps and from camp to camp as the work progresses, will require large additions to the company's present automotive equipment. Construction tools and equipment such as shovels, picks, axes and like will be purchased from local merchants. Road building machinery is scheduled as a separate item and consists of tractors, road graders, road plows and similar equipment. As the new line will traverse territory ranging from 10 to 30 miles from the existing lines, an entirely new communication system will be built which will be 30 miles in length requiring 900 poles, 120 miles (or 316,000 pounds) of copper wire, 10,000 cross arms and 40,000 insulators. Very important to the service of the community and its permanent development is the $3,244,000 item of estimates for additions to the substations at Eagle Rock, on the north side of Los Angeles, and Laguna Bell on the east side; these two stations being at the receiving ends of the two load centers of industrial Southern California. In addition to this expenditure there will also be an expenditure of $750,000 for switching stations, one located at Magunden, in the San Joquin valley; half way between the generating stations and Los Angeles, and the other at La Crescenta, the terminus of the new line. While the work of constructing this new transmission line is in progress, Orange County Men Will Invade Canada All Communities Will Be Represented in Party On Friday evening, September 11, Orange county's first Canadian tour will start. The trip will include representatives of the principal communities of Orange county. The party will have its own special car from Los Angeles to Seattle and from Vancouver to Winnipeg and return. The itinerary is as follows: Leave Los Angeles Friday, September 11, at 7:45 p.m.; arrive in Oakland Saturday morning; leave the same evening; reach Seattle on Monday morning; at once take the boat to Victoria. Half a day at Victoria; then a day at Vancouver where the first radio talk on Orange county will be given. Next, Saskatoon for a day; where another radio talk will be made. Then on to Regina for another radio program followed by stops at Winnipeg (radio program here), Brandon Moose Jaw, Medicine Hat, Calgary (radio program here), Banff, Revelstoke, and back to Vancouver. On arrival at each city the party will be divided into groups of three; the groups to call on the city and other officials; the Chambers of Commerce and similar organizations; the luncheon clubs and the press. In this way the Orange county message will reach a large number of people. When it can be arranged some member of the party will have a short hearing before one of the many luncheon clubs throughout the territory visited. A special condensed folder telling of Orange county and different communities represented by the delegates will be printed and distributed in quantit... INC Your Not by but Sp TROOP I NEWS Boy Scouts of Anaheim (By RANDALL MAASS) Troop 1, Boy Scouts of Anaheim, had one of the best patrols at the third period Scout camp this year. Our patrol came in second in the race for the best patrol at camp, losing by a few points. Clifford Hannah, the patrol leader of the Fern Glen patrol, got one of the two "Honor Camper" awards given at third period; also one of the two honor Scout awards given at third period. George Miner was the guest of the Kiwanis Club camp, and was royally entertained at the Kiwanis Club luncheon last Tuesday. The following officers were elected for the coming year: E. H. Metcalf, chairman; E. E. Smith, treasurer; J. H Whitaker, committeeman; T. Hoag, committeeman; J. P. Probst, committeeman; J. E. McKim, secretary and Scoutmaster, with William Reed and Earl Dahlman, assistant Scoutmasters. After outlining a very comprehensive program for the coming year, the meeting was adjourned with a resolution to put Troop 1, Boy Scouts of Anaheim, on the map. The Palo Verde irrigation district, Riverside county, will hold an election soon to vote on an issue of $3,500,000.

The special folder will contain a list of all the delegates on the tour, together with their affiliations, and this will serve as a letter of introduction for numbers of Canadians who may come to Orange county later as a result of this tour. The party is not limited, and several individuals will go on this tour because of the splendid opportunity it will give to get in touch with worth-while people throughout western Canada. Owing to the number making the trip, the cost will be reduced to a minimum. FOOD MORE, CLOTHES LESS A woman home economics authority who has just devoted a year to the study of American spending statistics reveals many surprising things. One is that the family budget now shows a greater expenditure for food than 10 years ago, but a decreased expenditure for clothing. Formerly 20 per cent of the family budget was considered a generous allowance for all the food that was wholesome and necessary. The percentage is now somewhere between 27 and 35. "The family eats about as much in a year as it spends on clothing, automo-miles, tobacco, candy, soft drinks and home furnishings combined." When it comes to clothes, the ratio is still more surprising. American women have been considered tremendously extravagant in their wearing apparel. Yet it is found that the family expenditure of the present day allows only $75 a person per year for clothing, or $350 a year per family. Perhaps this is because women especially wear so much less than formerly. Ready-made garments cut to standardized patterns, with a lot of frills and furbelows omitted, reduce this item. INCREASE Your Business Not by Earning More but by Better Spending MANY a man who is earning but $4,000 a year lives as well, or perhaps better, than the man who is earning $6,000. How does he do it? He does it by judicious spending! He makes every dollar buy a dollar’s worth . . . and ofttimes more. He does not buy by impulse! He exercises care and judgment in weighing values . . . he is constantly alert as to where his money can be spent to best advantage. Thus he secures more real value for his money than his most affluent friend—the $6,000 man. The knack of saving money is easily acquired. Saving does not always mean banking it. You can buy as well as sell at a profit. And buying at a profit means a saving!
