LOCAL BREVITIES Mr. and Mrs. Kurt Epstein are spending a vacation in San Francisco and other points of interest in the north. While in the former city they attended the Lions convention, which convened there this week. Mrs. Fred Backs entertained the Elysian Bridge Club last Friday at an all-day meeting at her cottage in Balboa. A very delightful luncheon was enjoyed at noon, after which the ladies enjoyed their usual game of bridge. Henry Smith, driver of the city's white wagon, was seriously injured when his tank upset while sprinkling in Mills park yesterday. The wheels of the truck locked in making a turn, and the heavy tank, which had just been filled, toppled over. Henry jumped and saved himself from being crushed, but he sustained a broken right arm, a sprained left wrist, and a badly bruised shoulder. Thomas R. Bishop, Jr., is arranging for the opening in Anaheim of a Nadine Hat Shop. This will be one of a chain of several hundred Nadine shops owned by the United Millinery Company, and will carry a heavy stock of the latest creations for the adornment of indies. The store will be opened on West Center street, in the room adjoining Kemp Brothers' pharmacy. Len Whalen of the Anaheim police force, is now off on a vacation, and has loaded his family in an auto and trekked north. They will spend a week in San Francisco, and expect to tour other points before they return home. A party of 32 persons, comprising employees of the Johnston-Wickett clinic, went over to Catalina last Saturday on a picnic. Some of them did not return home until Sunday. E. W. Baum, mail carrier No. 1, is on duty again, after an absence of a month. He and his family spent the vacation in the San Bernardino mountains. The quiet of the woods about Orange County park was broken Saturday by the merry shouts of about 40 boys and girls, who have gone there to "play the health game" for a few weeks. The health game" for a few weeks. The malnourished and underweight little folk are looking forward with interest to the program which they will carry out under expert direction under the big trees of the Irvine ranch, and will watch with keen delight the chart records showing the number of pounds they gain each week under the sunlight and the mountain air of the camp. Much work still is to be done on the preventorium grounds, and some of the members of service clubs are planning to "take a day off" and help in putting the place in order. The combination of a warm day and a cool, inviting body of water proved too much for 20 boys, Saturday, and they proceeded to enjoy themselves in the Anaheim Union Water Company's irrigation reservoir, near Yorba Linda. The law, in the person of Deputy Sheriff Harry Carter, appeared on the scene and the boys were arrested on charges of trespassing on private property. Monday they appeared before Justice of the Peace Charles Kuchel, in Anaheim. Judge Kuchel, remembering that he was a boy himself at one time, released them with a warning. Mr. and Mrs. Harrison Mrs. Clem Staples and Staples, a former resident returned the first of two weeks' outing at high Sierras.

An investigation of an asserted family row on South Illinois street, Saturday night, during which three shots are alleged to have been fired by an angry wife, was launched by the district attorney's office. According to reports from the police department, Mrs. Florence Carwile, wife of Nat Carwile, civil engineer, became angered when she found her husband engaging in an alleged party in a house in Anaheim. She asserts that she did not fire the shots at her husband, but into the air to frighten him. She was arrested on a charge of firing firearms in the city limits and later was released. Getting Behind Governor Richardson "The logical, efficient and effective attitude of Governor Friend W. Richardson on the Boulder dam question has resulted in the people of this valley being solidly behind him," is the statement made today by E. R. Russell, Blythe newspaperman, who has just completed a survey of his territory. People here bitterly resent the attempt to assessor Sleeper Greets Old Friends Has Made Wonderful Record During 16 Years in Office County Assessor James Sleeper was in town yesterday, looking up his old-time friends. Sleeper has been assessor of Orange county for 16 years, and the voters are going to keep him on the job for another four years because he has made a record for efficiency, integrity and devotion to the public interest such as few men can boast. He has been in conflict with the oil companies and big interests ever since he began the assessment work, but he always came out triumphant. When he took office, oil companies were assessed on a ridiculous valuation of $100 per well. Now they are paying one-third of the taxes of the county. He has lived in Orange county 38 years—and that's an important item. He has been here long enough to see the Santa Ana river full of water; he has seen dry years and wet years, and knows their bearing on property values. Long residence in the county is a necessary foundation for making a fair assessment. He hasn't been bluffed by big interests. Dil companies and big ranch owners cannot cave hi indown. They've tried it. He's been sued in court by oil company interests in an effort to break down his assessment of oil properties, and they have failed to shake him. He was the first assessor in the county to assess the oil companies for a mineral right—such rights are now paying over $775,000 a year in taxes, which is $200,000 more than the total tax of the county in 1910. His assessments have been uniformly fair. In his 16 years in office he has made approximately 400,000 assessments, and so fair have they been, hardly a dozen of them have been changed by the county board of equalization. It's a remarkable record and a remarkable tribute to efficiency and fairness. He has made the big fellow pay his share, which he was not doing when Sleeper took office. Predict Richardson Will Sweep County That Governor Friend W. Richardson will carry Orange county by a larger majority than he received four years ago, was the prediction of more than a score of Orange county editors when they gathered at Santa Ana last night, to complete plans for the Richardson-or-Governor Orange county campaign. Editors from all parts of the county brought word of practically solid support for the governor, his assistance to agriculture, the state highway program, and the $10,000,000 surplus in the state treasury all being mentioned as contributing factors to the county-wide aid being lent to the chief executive's campaign. The principal speaker of the evening, John E. King, Hemet publisher and state printer, told editors how the combined efforts of the country newspaper men four years ago were instrumental in giving to California a fearless governor, a man who was despised and feared by politicians, but who had the solid backing of the substantial thinking people all over the state. "Vigilance is the price of victory," Mr. King told his brother publishers, "and it remains for you men to clarify the scurrious attacks now being made by those who are clamoring to get their greedy fingers in that splendid $10,000,000 surplus at the state treasury—the first surplus in the history of California, and secured by the efforts of a business man using ordinary business methods in the conduct of state affairs." Justus Craemer of the Orange Daily News, as chairman of the meeting, outlined extensive plans which call for immediate launching by the editors of a publicity campaign designed to give the voting public of Orange county the truth concerning Governor Richardson's stewardship of state affairs. Oregon Water Levels Reach Lowest Point Water level in Oregon streams will reach the lowest point this year since measurements have been recorded. This is the belief of T. H.

Richardson on the Boulder dam question has resulted in the people of this valley being solidly behind him," is the statement made today by E. R. Russell, Blythe newspaperman, who has just completed a survey of his territory. People here bitterly resent the attempt of gubernatorial candidates to make political capital of this question by wholesale misrepresentation of facts and refer particularly to the governor's recent statement that "California is a unit on this problem." This they maintain is conclusive evidence that the problem is an economic one which the entire state, regardless of political adherence, is bending every effort to solve. "If there is any opposition to the governor here, we have been unable to find it," Mr. Russell added.

Today one 20-acre piece of oil land with 11 wells on it is alone paying more taxes than the 231 oil wells and 7484 acres of oil land in the county were paying in 1910, the year before Sleeper took office. He is the only county assessor in the state who mails to ex-service men or the widows of ex-service men an exemption to be claimed each year. This is done to call their attention to the same.

At 10 o'clock in the forenoon of said day, and will continue in session from day to day until the returns of the Assessor have been rectified. EDWARD B. MERRITT City Clerk 7-22-13 Approximately 70,000,000 animals passed before the federal meat inspectors in 1925. Post-mortem inspection of these animals indicated that tuberculosis in both cattle and swine still continues to be the most widespread malady of meat animals at time of slaughter. In fact, it was responsible for considerably more condemnations than all other diseases and alliments combined. These facts merit the attention of livestock producers and are further indication of the necessity for continuing the campaign of eradicating tuberculosis with the utmost vigor.

Canine Defenders Score Ordinance Wage Battle Against County Vaccination Law The cause of the dog was brought before the Orange county board of supervisors when Mrs. Barbara Brooks, crusader against dog vaccination ordinances, led an attack against the county vaccination measure adopted a few weeks ago. Mrs. Rose Wright of Los Angeles, official of the American Animal Defense League and the California Anti-Vivification Society, supported Mrs. Brooks in the battle before the board. H. H. Hale, prominent rancher of Placentia, also fired a broadside against the ordinance, whose only defender was Dr. V. G. Presson, county health officer. Statistics and reports of the disease known as rabies and its supposed prevalence in Southern California were presented and dissected for the benefit of the supervisors by Mrs. Brooks, who concluded her discussion by serving notice upon those who are candidates for office that those allied with her in the fight against vaccination will "ascertain the views of all candidates" before voting for them. Hale strenuously denounced the ordinance and branded the rabies scare as "propaganda." He predicted that "if the doctors want a supreme court decision" on the issue in question, "they could probably get it." Mrs. Wright told the supervisors that she had investigated the cases of supposed dog-bite being "played up" by a Los Angeles newspaper and had found that there had been but one actual case where a person was bitten by a dog. The other cases, she said, were simply where "a child had pulled some puppy's tail." Dr. Presson replied to the attacks upon the ordinance by saying that he was ready to take the word of eminent scientists when they report that their investigations show certain things conclusively. He objected, he said, to having laymen try to tell anyone that such and such things are not so when they have no scientific proof to support only 29 per cent were under public ownership, the remaining 71 per cent being owned and operated by private enterprise. Communities of less than 100,000 population in the United States were served by 11.6 telephones per 100 people, a record equalled in no other country. In Canada these smaller communities had 9.3 telephones per 100 population, in Denmark 7.1, and in New Zealand 8.8. The larger European countries were far behind in this respect, with farmers' telephone lines almost unknown. There were only 2.4 telephones per 100 inhabitants in communities of under 100,000 population in Germany, 1.7 in Great Britain and northern Ireland, and 1.0 in France. British and French telephone development, in fact, was concentrated principally in the larger cities. In each case over one-third of all the nation's telephones were in its capital city. Even so, London with 5.9 telephones per 100 people, and Paris with 7.6, were far surpassed by Los Angeles, which had 23.7 telephones per 100 inhabitants. Stockholm with 24.3 telephones per 100 people alone among foreign cities had attained a telephone development commensurate with that of United States cities. In use of the telephone, Americans averaged 191 telephone conversations per inhabitant during 1924, while in Denmark the number of conversations per person was 131, in Norway 113, and in Sweden 106. The Germans used the telephone only to the extent of an average of 30 conversations per person during that year, while the taciturn British contented themselves with an average of but 23 conversations per inhabitant, or less than one-eighth as many as Americans. Pacifists sometimes assert that war has never settled anything. Wonder if they ever heard of what happened on account of the Revolution and the Civil war? New York suffered a strike on its underground railroad which is something that didn't happen on the underground railroad we had before the Civil war. Farm Implements United States Leads Telephone Progress Three-fifths of World's Phones In This Country New evidence of America's pre-eminence in the telephone field is afforded by a compilation of telephone statistics of the world which has just been published. The task of obtaining accurate information from remote countries has taken many months and the figures, therefore, reflect conditions as of January 1, 1925. The fifthth anniversary of the invention of the telephone finds the United States still undisputed leader of the world's telephone progress. There are in this country 62 per cent of all the posed dog-bite being "played up" by a Los Angeles newspaper and had found that there had been but one actual case where a person was bitten by a dog. The other cases, she said, were simply where "a child had pulled some puppy's tail." Dr. Presson repiled to the attacks upon the ordinance by saying that he was ready to take the word of eminent scientists when they report that their investigations show certain things conclusively. He objected, he said, to having laymen try to tell anyone that such and such things are not so when they have no scientific proof to support their statements. "There are, I am sorry to admit, many men in the medical profession whom we know as 'quacks,' who will write any sort of a testimonial that is wanted of them," said Dr. Presson, referring to quotations from supposed medical authorities, as presented by Mrs. Brooks and the others. With respect to the rabies situation in Orange county, said Dr. Presson, he felt that he could not conscientiously hold the position of health officer and not advise the board that a vaccination ordinance should be passed. The situation is improving and he thought vaccination partly responsible, he said. By fall it might be in such shape that the ordinance could be repealed. Until then, he advised, it should be maintained. Giving the-dog owners option of vaccinating their dogs or keeping them on a leash or penned, would be satisfactory if it could be enforced, which he doubted. Dr. Presson stated, when questioned by members of the board with reference to Mrs. Brooks' contention that the people should at least be given the option. Members of the board appeared to be interested in the suggestion regarding the optional course. Dr. Presson indicated that he was not interested in the question of fees, but strongly favored vaccination. He disputed the claim that vaccination resulted in great injury and frequently in death for the dogs. "But," he said, "I'd rather lose all the dogs in the county from vaccination than have one human being die from rabies."

The task of obtaining accurate information from remote countries has taken many months and the figures, therefore, reflect conditions as of January 1, 1925. The fifteenth anniversary of the invention of the telephone finds the United States still undisputed leader of the world's telephone progress. There are in this country 62 per cent of all the telephones in the world, or one telephone for every seven people. With ten times as many telephones in proportion to population as the rest of the world, and with 191 telephone conversations per person in a single year, the United States maintains her telephone leadership, which began half a century ago, when Alexander Graham Bell made his great invention in a Boston garret. On January 1, 1925, there were 26,038,508 telephones in use throughout the world. Of these, 16,072,758, or over three-fifths, were in the United States. Europe had four times as many people as the United States, but less than half as many telephones. The remaining 12 per cent were scattered through all the other countries and continents outside of the United States and Europe. Southern California alone has nearly as many telephones as Russia and all of South America. American telephone systems also showed a greater net annual growth than the telephone systems of all the other countries in the world put together. The increase in number of telephones in the United States during 1924 was 829,407, while in all foreign countries combined it was only 750,263. Not only in total telephones and in telephone growth, but also in number of telephones per 100 population, the United States was easily first. There were 14.2 telephones for every 100 people in this country. Canada had 11.6, Denmark 9.0, New caland 8.7, Sweden 6.9, and Norway 6.1. In Germany there were but 3.9 telephones per 100 inhabitants, in Great Britain and northern Ireland 2.8, and in France 1.7. It may be noted in passing that the telephone systems of these three countries were under government ownership and operation.
