OBSERVATIONS BY A CONTRIBUTOR GETTING THE GLAD HAND AGENTLEMAN residing at Santa Ana, formerly a well-known citizen of Anaheim, was in town the other day, renewing old acquaintances and giving things the once-over. "Say, you folks are going fine here—many substantial improvements are being made, and I am glad to see you prosper. The last time I was here carpenters and builders were boarding up the sidewalks around a downtown site for a new building, preparatory to erecting a modern store building, and now I see the structure all completed and occupied and the owners and a large crew of clerks waiting on customers and doing a big business. That's what I call thrift. Other buildings are being renovated and modernized for new tenants. That's fine. Keep it up. There is nothing can stop you. Over our way business is good and people are happy and contented. In fact, all of Orange county is prospering. Yes, the folks are all well. How are you and your kin? Yes, everything is fine and dandy. Well, so long—the 'old lady' is waiting to step on the gas. See you again some time. Come over and see us once in a while—we'll treat you right. Good-day." THOSE FASCINATING PAYROLLS AN INTERESTING item appearing in the newspapers follows: "Indicative of the rapid strides the Los Angeles metropolitan area is making toward becoming a great textile center is the announcement made yesterday by David H. Young, president of the Golden State silk mills of Hermosa Beach, that the company has placed its spinning department on a 24-hour schedule and its weaving department on a 16-hour schedule. Many people are to be given employment through this increased production, which was necessitated by the heavy demands for the mill's products. The mills were established about eight months ago by Mr. Young, who came here from Paterson, N.J. Enlisting the aid of the domestic trade department of the chamber of commerce, his plant began immediately to supply quick delivery to the local field." Why does not Anaheim annex some of these concerns, which thrive elsewhere, and give work to many deserving people? nouncement made yesterday by David H.

Why does not Anaheim annex some of these concerns, which thrive elsewhere, and give work to many deserving people? ORANGES IS ORANGES OWNERS of orange groves are on Easy street, is the way one grower has the situation sized up. "Last year, with only half a crop, growers made good money, owing to the increase in price for good fruit," said this man. "This year, with an unusually large crop, and nothing to indicate a drop in price, oranges are going to run into money. The price cannot be less than 4 cents, and may go to 6 to 8 cents for choice brands—maybe more. You can readily see that the growers are in for a killing, as the saying goes. And this, in turn, will stimulate acreage values." PENDULUM SWINGS BACK AN EASTERN specialist says that restoration of youth is not a fantastic dream, and she solemnly affirms: "I have discovered and use in my practice a method for the restoration of youth that does not resort to surgery, but employs natural processes. The treatment involves the prescription of a proper diet, different forms of exercise and instruction in breathing. It also includes certain mental suggestions." The scientist stressed particularly the importance of proper breathing, which she styled the key to rejuvenation. "It is impossible to lay down general rules. Greater An A. W. FRANZEN A. W.

In preparation for the handling of this summer’s business we are increasing our passenger equipment very materially. We will have delivery early this summer on 10 latest type club-observation cars, a fleet of new all-steel dining cars and many new all-steel day coaches and baggage cars. “The Florida boom, which at its height attracted a considerable number of people, has subsided to such a degree that we anticipate no interference with summer travel to California. On the contrary, people who have visited Florida during the past few years have met with such unsatisfactory experiences in the way of limited hotel accommodations and other inconveniences that the comparison with California as a tourist playground will serve to induce them to come to California this year.” DITCHING THE DUDS YOU can see in the paper where the police at Palm Beach are going to take stringent steps to stop the immodesty on the part of men and women regarding their mode of dressing, and the cops are going to enforce the laws against indescent exposure. Culprits are going to be halled into court and fined twenty-five cartwheels for appearing in scant attire while the sad sea waves are sighing.

Skirts must come down to within Fighting Pollution Of State Waters Fish and Game Commission Seek Violators of Law A determined stand against all forms of water pollution in the state, where such pollution affects the life and growth of fish, has been adopted by the California fish and game commission, according to I. Zellerbach president of the commission. Within the past six weeks two large concerns have been adjudged guilty of polluting the waters of San Francisco bay, and each has paid the minimum fine of $200. In addition, the commission has, in each case, issued a warning that a repetition of the offense will lead to still further prosecution and a demand for limit fines. The first large concern to pay the penalty for non-observance of the laws governing pollution was the Golden Gate Ferry Company. This concern was charged with pumping blueg water, heavily impregnated with oil and grease, out of its ferries and into the bay at its Sausalito slip. When taken before Justice Paul Helmore of Sausalito, the owners were quickly adjudged guilty. The second concern was the manimoth Mason By-Products Company, operating in the outskirts of Sausalito, one of the largest alcohol distilleries in the nation. This concern, using mollasses as the base of its product, has long been accused of violating the laws governing water pollution. Refuse from the plant, when dumped into the bay near Sausalito, was reported as being most injurious to fish, besides furnishing an odor to nauseate passersby. This firm, likewise, appeared before Judge Helmore for sentence. A period of 30 days was allotted the owners in which to rectify the situation. Falling in this, the commission will again halt them into court on similar charges. B. D.

MINDS OFF LESSONS IN A TOWN in Kentucky, a mother’s club has issued an edict that women teachers in the public schools there must keep their knees and elbows hidden. Skirts must come down to within 11 inches of the floor, as the board members allow this should provide ample coverage for dimpled knees and garters, and the sleeves must be long, too. The club complained to the school trustees that high school hopefuls could not keep from “rubber ing” when young teachers appeared in abbreviated garb. VANISHING VENEER WHEN two moon-gazers—you know, a man and a woman—fall in love, if one or the other happens to be legally married, there is where the monetary fireworks start. If they are “discovered,” a lawsuit follows, and quite often one or the other of the featured folk is forced to pay real hard cold cash—for money makes the wheels go round. Then after all the illicit rubbish has been cleared off the back lot, if poverty stalks through the door, love flies out the window, and an empty pocket-book or no bank balance is a cheerless thing, and those petting parties and cooing love scenes turn to chilled and hollow hearts. Then the cave-man instincts arise and there is fuss and a whole lot of ruffled feathers, and the end of the journey comes to the fork in the road. One goes this way, the other that, and love’s deceptive dreams are dashed to pieces on the rugged rocks of regret. Anaheim Straight FOR CITY TRUSTEES VOTE FOR W. D. GRAFTON W. D.

SELECTION MONDAY, APRIL HARMONY ERITY U.S. Automobile Notes Motoring vacationists in California this year have hundreds of camping grounds and automobile camps available for their use. It is revealed in the 1926 revised edition of the camping book now being distributed by the outing bureau of the Autmobile Club of Southern California. "Auto Camps and Camp Grounds of California," compiled by the auto club outing department, gives details of all the reliable camping places in California and along the Pacific highway from Ashland, Oregon, through Washington to Vancouver, B.C. Facilities, prices, accessibility to towns, and brief descriptions of all of the camps and camp grounds are contained in the book, as well as handy road maps and mileage tables telling their locations in the state and along the great paved highway. All of the improved public camps in the 16 national forests of California are also described in the new issue of the outing book, and this information includes fishing, hiking and other outing possibilities in the various districts. The rules of real sportsmen comprise one of the features of the book. A few follow: "Be a real sportsman—there is more honor in giving the game a square deal than in getting the limit." "Make sure it's a buck—if you can't see HIS horns, SHE hasn't any." "Respect farmers' property—don't disturb stock by camping too close to watering holes, or allowing your dogs to chase the cattle. Close gates after you. Ask permission to hunt before starting to shoot." "Leave a clean camp and a clean record—unburned garbage, crippled game and broken laws are poor monuments for a sportsman to leave behind him." "Help keep our streams pure—burn or bury rubbish and be sure your fire is out—and covered with solid earth before leaving it." Visiting motorists, guests in California drivers whose car plates are covered with mud or grease or hidden behind bumpers or in such position that clear view of them cannot be obtained. Most motorists clean their plates after every dusty trip, according to the public safety department, of the automobile club. Dirty windshields and dust-covered headlights are often the reason for glaring lights in night driving, it is noted in a resume of reports of the emergency road service of the club. A study has been made of the reasons for glare, which shows that dust-coated windshields and headlights are responsible. Rain drops on the windshield or headlight lenses has the same diffusing effect. The particles of dust and rain form miniature lenses, so when the windshield or lamps are covered with dust or rain drops, glare is the result, it is pointed out. Working for Better Health of Children The bureau of child hygiene of the California state board of health is sponsoring a campaign for making all entering school children physically fit. This campaign will be undertaken in nearly every county of the state, beginning about the first of April. It is planned to provide a competent physical examination for every child who will enter school next fall. A similar campaign undertaken last year was conducted in 29 counties, where more than 10,000 children of pre-school age were examined. The state superintendent of public instruction has given the campaign his full endorsement. He says: "Physical fitness of children has so much to do with their school progress and their ultimate success in life that I urge all superintendents, principals and teachers to co-operate with the bureau of child hygiene in this effort." Parents of pre-school children who have such children given proper physical examinations should communicate with their local health officers or write direct to the Bureau of Child Hygiene. Respect farmers property—don’t disturb stock by camping too close to watering holes, or allowing your dogs to chase the cattle. Close gates after you. Ask permission to hunt before starting to shoot. “Leave a clean camp and a clean record—unburned garbage, crippled game and broken laws are poor monuments for a sportsman to leave behind him.” “Help keep our streams pure—burn or bury rubbish and be sure your fire is out—and covered with solid earth before leaving it.” Visiting motorists, guests in California, as well as members of the motorizing organization, may now obtain the auto camping book free of charge at headquarters of any of the 30 branch offices of the automobile club. Outing information is also available to autolists at these offices, which are located in the population centers of the southern counties of the state. Intoxication was the cause for revoking of 24 automobile driving licenses during February in California, according to reports of the division of motor vehicles reaching the automobile club. Thirty-two licenses were revoked in all, bringing the total for the year to 63. License plates must be kept clean and unpursued, according to the warning to California motorists just issued by the division of motor vehicles. State officers have been instructed to stop reporting matters of this nature to Rollin E. Watkins, head of the bureau of river and harbor pollution, at Room 714, Postal Telegraph Building, San Francisco, California. The state superintendent of public instruction has given the campaign his full endorsement. He says: “Physical fitness of children has so much to do with their school progress and their ultimate success in life that I urge all superintendents, principals and teachers to co-operate with the bureau of child hygiene in this effort.” Parents of pre-school children who have such children given proper physical examinations should communicate with their local health officers or write direct to the Bureau of Child Hygiene, 335 State Bldg., Civic Center, San Francisco, Calif. The campaign will undertake only to discover physical defects that may exist. Arrangements for the correction of any defects that may be discovered will rest entirely with the parents of the children. It is important that these examinations be conducted during the spring months in order that there may be ample time for making children physically fit for the first grade when they enter school next fall.
