OBSERVATIONS BY A CONTRIBUTOR BUILDING LOOMS IN OFFING IT IS said a hundred cities in California have postal receipts that exceed $20,000 annually and consequently, according to the law, are in line for a federal building. Anaheim is one of these progressive towns, and leading citizens say there is no reason why the city should not annex one of the buildings. It is the old story over again that it is better to own your home than pay rent. There are many worthy improvements that a city may make, but to have a federal building in your midst is prima facie evidence that you cut some pumpkins. Anaheim is moving right along, and in a few years the present postoffice quarters are going to be entirely too small to handle the business. Why not put on a little steam and get one of these federal postoffice homes? Up and at 'em, boosters! STEPPING ON THE GAS COMMENCEMENT of the construction of Manchester boulevard will mark an epoch in road building in this section that will have a far reaching effect upon the community. The boulevard begins at Playa del Rey, in Los Angeles county, and its route, it is said, will traverse southeastward, passing through the Artesia country, Buena Park, into Anaheim and continuing on south. The exact route has not as yet been officially announced, but persons well informed say the paving highway will parallel the steam railway, rather than cross them. This will reduce the hazard now, almost daily chronicled, wherein human lives are lost in accidents. The Manchester will be a 100-foot boulevard, and is to be one of the units of wide paved highways to be built by the state. It is said the law permitting this road work was voted upon favorably by the people of Los Angeles at an election two years ago, when this special act was given approval. A gentleman of Buena Park is authority for the statement that Manchester boulevard will parallel the Southern Pacific railway tracks at a distance apart of 450 feet. Rights-of-way will, of necessity, have to be acquired through condemnation proceedings. Wide highways for the handling of the ever increasing travel are being built all over the country, and the larger cities are constructing new wide roadways to relieve the congestion of traffic. The tendency now is to provide ample space for motorists, who, in many cities, are required to "speed up" to make way for others. This sort of reverses the rule as to the mileage allowed in congested areas in some cities. It is said on BOY SCOUT TO BE REAL Place and Date for Not Yet In Following last spell jamboree in Santa Ana a success from both financial standpoints and to Boy Scout work Volture 527, La Solele et S Chevaux has a similar celebration with spring.

The tendency now is to provide ample space for motorists, who, in many cities, are required to "speed up" to make way for others. This sort of reverses the rule as to the mileage allowed in congested areas in some cities. It is said on certain boulevards in eastern cities motorists must make 50 miles or keep off. This rule has been found necessary to empty streets of the motor vehicles in the shortest time possible. Motorists must, of course, at all times have perfect control of their cars. In short, the country is becoming so thickly populated that traffic on the highways must be sane and fast, instead of blocking the line by slow motion. AN EYE FOR AN EYE A PREMIER of Europe has just escaped the sixth murderous attempt upon his life. In the last assault the would-be assassin was stabbed and beaten to death by strong-armed men, and the body of the victim was "dragged through a screaming, milling sea of humanity"—which is concrete evidence of the worst kind of mob rule. THE GENTLE TOUCH An ENVOY from an European domain diplomatically denies he is coming to this glorious Santa Claus land to seek a loan. But the queen has come, saw and, from all accounts, has conquered. And maybe the loan will not be so difficult after all, for the female sovereign is just the sweetest, dearest, writing lady who ever honored us with a visit. TRAVELING LIGHT TRUNKS are now taboo with some married men who have a hankering for a vacation. There is too much space and leeway for speculation. Some husbands no doubt will carry only a grip, while others perhaps would be satisfied to go without. SAVED BY A HAIR SPEAKING of auburn locks, ladies who go away from home should carry the latest dye colors for emergency. While it is said some men prefer blondes, the peroxide beauties can easily be transformed into one of darker shade, thereby avoiding any embarrassment. RESTING UP It is related that once upon a time several men were lined up at a bar in a town down south, when in walked a man with a limp, who had one leg longer than the other. He took a position along the brass rail and asked his fellows to have drink. The strange man, while acting as host, stood upon his short leg. After all had quaffed their likker, and while the barkeep turned his back, the genial newcomer shifted gears, and stood erect on his long leg. "Where is that shorty who just ordered these drinks?" asked the booze pilot, when he turned around again, ready to ring up the fare. Slim had slipped it over.

NIP AND TUCK OUT Chicago way, well groomed business men spend just as much money in barber shops, maintaining their personal appearance, as their wives invest in dolling up. The tonsorial budget for men is $6.20 per week; for women, the beauty bill is $6.50. ISN'T LOVE WONDERFUL? A DOCTOR, aged 60, was called in when an 18-year-old girl was taken sick, and strange to relate, it was a case of "love at first sight"—said to be a dangerous and perplexing malady. Now they are married and their friends believe they will live happily forever. ALL IS NOT GOLD THAT GLITTERS A PROMINENT woman of the south says the adoption of more cotton clothing by women would decrease work for the divorce courts. This lady belives a return to the styles of the past would serve a double purpose—contentment in the homes and aid to the southern cotton planter. The use of more cotton and less of the glistening silk, she allows, would sidetrack the flapper; besides, the cost would be less. RELIEVING THE EYE STRAIN A JUDGE up in Oregon says, in these days of short skirts and spider-web hosiery, too much besides evidence is getting to juries and; accordingly, he has ordered a solid black walnut railing and panel built around the witness stand in his courtroom, to "shield the witness from the waist down." This judge has been on the bench for a quarter of a century and believes in everybody in his courtroom attending strictly to business, and no foolin'. BOY SCOUT FETE TO BE REPEATED Place and Date for the Carnival Not Yet Decided Following last spring's Boy Scout Jamboree in Santa Ana, acclaimed as a success from both carnival and financial standpoints and as a stimulus to Boy Scout work, Orange county Voltage 527, La Societe des 40 Hommes et 8 Chevaux has announced that a similar celebration will be staged next spring. Chef de Gare Joe Plank of the Orange county volture, who is grand chef de train of the state organization, has outlined plans for the event, appointing Ted Craig of Brea general chairman-in-charge of the event. The location and exact date of the Jamboree have not been definitely decided, according to Craig, but preliminary plans to solicit the co-operation of all Legion posts and civic organizations throughout the country already are under way. Plank will leave the latter part of this week for San Francisco to attend a "grand cheminot," statewide executive committee meeting, and will at that time submit a resolution recommending that all local 40 and 8 societies do as the Orange county volture has done in sponsoring benefits and otherwise aiding the Boy Scout movement. In a recent letter to Plank, Roland Dye, Scout executive, expressed thanks and appreciation to the 40 and 8 for the financial aid and for the manner in which the ex-service men's club had enlisted the co-operation of all other organizations and stimulated interest in the Scout program. He enumerated many direct benefits derived from the last Jamboree, and listed several ways in which he expects the Boy Scout movement to profit by the coming celebration. Plank last Friday made his final report as chairman of the Armistice parade and intends to devote much time in the forthcoming Jamboree. Ted Craig, general chairman of the Jamboree committee, has just completed a year as commander of the Orange county volture. Buena Park Notes (By MRS. J. P.

This French lodge is one of the oldest, and the origin of the gavel is lost in antiquity. It may have called Frenchmen together in the middle ages. It was found among the ruins of the Masonic temple at Chateau Thirry, where the last meeting was held in 1914, when German shells were falling about the building. M. C. Baer, past master of Chateau Thirry lodge in Oakland, which is composed of ex-servile men, while in office thought of the plan of obtaining a relic of war days from a French lodge. He wrote to the lodge called Jean de la Fontaine lodge, making the request. After some delay and communications between the lodges, the gavel was forwarded with the compliments and the traterdial felicitations of the Frenchmen. A movie actress is asking $25,000 damages for the loss of two feet of hair. Most of the ladies we know are paying all the way from 50 cents to $1 to get rid of it.
