LOCAL BREVITIES Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Swindler will entertain a number of friends at dinner Christmas day at their ranch home on South Palm street. A noble turkey, weighing 24 pounds, has been fattened for the occasion. The guests will be Fred Mercell of Santa Ana, Dan Davis and family of Ohio, Will Devinney and wife, Henry Devinney and family, and Mrs. Elizabeth Williams. They are all relatives of Mrs. Swindler. Mrs. Sophie Dubbel, widow of the late Joseph Dubbel and mother of Father F. J. Dubbel and Sister Henrietta, mother superior at St. Joseph's academy, passed away at the academy, where she had been residing, at the age of 81. Mrs. Dubbel has been a resident of Anaheim for 28 years. She was born at Aix-la-Chapelle, Germany, but most of her life has been spent in America. Her son, Father F. J. Dubbel, was rector of St. Boniface's church here for several years, but now resides at Burbank. Plans are being made by the alumni association of the Anaheim Union high school for a 6:30 o'clock banquet program in the cafeteria of the school December 28, according to announcement by Raymond Nebelung, president. The affair is planned primarily as a reunion for the many former students of the school attending college, who are now returning to the city for the Christmas holiday period, and Miss Lois Dyer, Spanish teacher of the high school, is arranging an enjoyable program. Because of the necessity for more ground, the high school board last week purchased two acres of land adjoining that of Mrs. J. J. Dwyer, paying $5000 an acre therefor. Walnut trees on the land are now being grubbed out, and it will be converted into an athletic field. A lease was taken on two acres more belonging to Mrs. Dwyer, with the option of purchase at some future date.

Avocado Thieves Caught by Police A little extra Christmas cheer will come to Officers Ellis and Maxwell of the Montebello police force this week in the form of the standing $50 reward which is offered by the California Avocado Growers' Exchange for the apprehension of avocado thieves. In this case the vigilance of the officers in enforcing a minor motor vehicle law led to the arrest of the thieves on a more serious charge of larceny. Driving west on Whittier boulevard at 1:15 o'clock Tuesday morning, Officers Ellis and Maxwell noticed an old Ford car being driven east on the boulevard without a rear license plate. The car had a large box on the rear. The officers followed the car, watch the movements of the occupants until they reached North Twentth street, in Montebello. There they stopped the car and questioned the driver and his companions. The car was found to be loaded with avocados. The car and its occupants were taken to the police station, where they were questioned. They admitted that the fruit was stolen and volunteered to show where it had been picked. It was stolen from the grove of P. W. Matsen. The suspects gave their names as Latham Stewart, 1756 North Garfield street, Los Angeles; Joe Irwin, 3675 North Hoover street, Los Angeles, and Bernard Smith, 620 Perm street, Whittler. The standing reward of $50 offered by the California Avocado Growers' Exchange for the apprehension of avocado thieves has had considerable effect in protecting the orchards of avocado growers. In most cases the stolen fruit is immature and cannot be sold on the market. $4,000,000,000 in Farm Machines More than four billions of dollars is now invested in farm machinery equipment in this country, according to a council-appointed by Secretary Jardine to study the subject. Over $330,000,000 was expended for such equipment in 1925. Power and labor costs of farm crop production on the average make up about 60 per cent of the total costs. In view of these facts even minor improvements in farm machinery will re- STRAW MAY YIELD AUTOMOBILE FUEL Eighty Gallons of Gas Can Be Distilled From a Ton While emphasis is being placed on the importance of coal as a source of our future automotive fuel supply, engineers aren't overlooking the least opportunity from other sources. They have gone so far as to consider the uses of wood and straw as direct means of obtaining power for our automobiles. The United States bureau of standards is not to be outdone in foresight, for it even today is studying a French invention which utilizes wood as direct fuel for automobiles. It has also been experimenting with straw, seeking whatever power this product may have in it in the form of an alcoholic fuel. Probability of the use of these materials is far removed. Although our oil supply is thinning, our coal resources are so vast that engineers figure they will not be depleted for centuries to come. Out of coal comes valuable fuel oils, as well as other important products. But France has practically no oil within its entire domain, colonies included, and must rely already on the comparatively little coal it owns for its domestic fuel supply. Italy is even in worse shape, with no oil and low coal resources. It is therefore here that wood is being tested as the next best bet. The invention now in the hands of the United States bureau of standards reduces wood by a baking process into a weak gas which, when mixed with air, forms a practical fuel mixture for automobiles. It is much weaker than gasoline, but less costly, and at least a good thing to depend upon in case of emergency. Australia is making intensive studies of the use of wood and straw for their fuel possibilities. Australia has been importing oil for fuel to an increasing extent. Substitutes, there are much desired. Out of the cellulose in the straw, about 50 gallons of power alcohol can be obtained from a ton of the straw. A ton of dry wood would yield about 50 to 60 gallons of the same fuel.

CALIFORNIA COMPANY Choose it Serves Local Students Attend Conclave Seven From Local High School At Scholarship Convention The meeting of the California Scholastic Federation, which was held at Riverside high school auditorium, on Saturday, December 18, was attended from Anaheim by Mrs. Faye Kern Schulz, advisor to the local Honor Society chapter, and six Anaheim high school delegates, Martha Adans, Jessie Johnston, Mary Tanaka, Bob Schweinfeat, Tommy Kuchel and Randall Manass. The business session opened at 9:45 o'clock, with a welcome to the delegates by A. G. Paul, principal of Riverside high school. Sherwood Marvin, president of Honor Society No. 59 of Riverside, greeted the delegates in behalf of his chapter. This was responded to by Miss Ida Swindt, president of the student branch of the California Scholastic Federation. After the minutes of the last meeting and the financial report had been read by Elsie Benson and Marion Castell, secretary and treasurer, respectively, two reports were given from the floor by club members, the topic being "Co-operation Between the California Scholastic Federation and Junior High Schools," and "Status of the California Scholastic Federation With College and Phi Beta Kappa." Three amendments to the constitution of the federation were voted upon. They dealt with dues, collection of dues, and seal bearers. There was discussion from the floor upon the adoption of a novitiate pin, colors, and motto. All products, more than to offset the requirements. Cellulose is reduced to power alcohol by the use of strong sulphuric acid and the subsequent action of yeast fermentation. French, as well as other engineers, have been studying the possibilities of the anhydrous alcohols, the power alcohols, obtained from coal as well as straw and wood. Methyl alcohol especially has been found highly effective as a fuel, when mixed in a certain proportion with gasoline. three were heartily endorsed by vote, and at the coming election the federation will vote upon them in the form of constitutional amendments.. The officers for the coming year were elected, and San Diego was chosen as the meeting place for December, 1927. The morning session closed with a selection from the opera "Lelawala," sung by the Riverside high school Glee Club, followed by the singing of the California Scholastic Federation songs. The banquet at 1 p.m. was served in the Congregational church and the Universalist church. This was followed with a program of music and an address, "Preparation and Success," by Dr. E. P. Clark of the Riverside Enterprise and past president of the state board of education. At the conclusion of Dr. Clark's address the delegates adjourned to the Mission Inn, where an enjoyable hour was spent in admiring the inn and its large interesting collection of curios. The proposed trip to Mount Rubidoux was called off on account of the rain, but the local party did drive up to the summit. Besides having two punctures on the sedan, the party arrived in Anaheim Saturday evening, having spent a highly enjoyable day with delegates from the entire state. Meat and Beans Many people believe that beans, such as the navy, lima and other kinds of dried beans, are substitutes for meat from the standpoint of their nutritive value. Recent research by the United States department of agriculture on the kind of protein contained in different foods has shown that the protein of meat is superior to that of beans from the standpoint of meeting the needs of the body. The protein in meat is called "complete" or "efficient," while that in beans is called "incomplete," because it lacks certain essential acids. The average meal that Americans eat, however, usually contains bread and other foods that contain some kind of protein. Generally a combination of these with the protein in beans will supply the body what it needs. So far as nutritive value goes, it is therefore all right to use beans occasionally in place of meat for dinner. Wall street is going to pay bonuses to the amount of $35,000,000 for Christ- products, more than to offset the requirements. Cellulose is reduced to power alcohol by the use of strong sulphuric acid and the subsequent action of yeast fermentation. French, as well as other engineers, have been studying the possibilities of the anhydrous alcohols, the power alcohols, obtained from coal as well as straw and wood. Methyl alcohol especially has been found highly effective as a fuel, when mixed in a certain proportion with gasoline. It has been found to eliminate detonation, to afford greater power at lower temperature, permit more flexible operation at varying speeds, and to keep the motor in good working condition. Wall street is going to pay bonuses to the amount of $35,000,000 for Christmas. It is to be noted that this bonus does not go to the speculators who "take a long shot" on margins, but to the boys and girls who actually work in the street.
