Store Center at Lemon Telephone 60 LOCAL BREVITIES O. H. Goss and Jesse Walling, Anaheim men who were charged with committing burglary at a residence at 615 North Lemon street, Anaheim, on January 31, changed their plea from not guilty to guilty, when arraigned before Superior Judge Homer G. Ames. Both men asked for probation. The court set their hearing for next Friday, at 9:30 a.m. L. E. Dunning, of Anaheim, who was before Superior Judge James L. Allen on a hearing to determine whether Dunning had violated parole, was ordered sent to the county hospital for observation. Dunning had been on probation in connection with a charge of check killing, and was said to have passed more worthless checks. A question was raised in court as to his mental condition. Charged with driving an automobile while under the influence of liquor, Adolfo Rangel, 27, Placentia, was arrested by State Traffic Officers Adams and Hurd at 5:30 o'clock Sunday night, at the intersection of Lincoln boulevard and Buena Park road. Rangel was attempting to turn at the intersection and was holding up traffic at the time officers spied him and placed him under arrest, it was said. The condition of three men injured in an accident near Fullerton Tuesday is reported improved by Anaheim hospital attaches. Dick Souller, 318 North Claudina street, Anaheim, a truck driver; Jesus Saldana, a passenger in the truck at the time of the accident, and L. E. Snyder of Brea, driver of a roadster which collided with the truck, are expected to leave the hospital this week. J. E. Leech, a passenger in the Snyder car, who was slightly injured, was dismissed from the hospital yesterday. Mr. and Mrs. Chester Holcomb and Miss Dora Zeyn have disposed of their property at El Centro and are living in Fullerton, where they can be, near Mr. Holcomb's father, the Rev. F. R. Holcomb, who has been in failing health for some months past. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Lewis, who have Urge Conservation of Wild Flowers of State The intense popular interest in California desert and upland wild flowers, plus the extensive subdivision of flower fields, makes imperative the conservation of the blooms that remain. The situation is not alarming, it is sald, for there still remain great quantities of blooms for those who seek them. Nevertheless, this condition, it is pointed out, will not obtain indefinitely if indiscriminate ravaging of the fields continues. Those who seek bouquets are urged to use a knife or scissors in cutting parennials whose roots come up easily when the flowers are ruthlessly pulled from the ground. Branches of flowering shrubs, it is further asserted, should not be broken off, but should be cut close to the base so the wound may heal over and prevent fungus diseases from attacking the plant. In some localities, botanists say, several varieties of the most gorgeous of Southern California's wild flowers are rapidly becoming extinct. Among these are the blue penstemon, the scarlet bugler, yellow violet, shooting star, and the wild wallflower. THE NATIONAL PARKS Visitors to the 19 national parks and 32 national monuments of the United States were more numerous by 260,343 in 1926 than in the preceding year. There is no doubt that enjoyment of the parks is gaining right along, and more and more Americans every year are becoming acquainted with these vast and beautiful playgrounds. Extensive construction of new roads and trails has already begun throughout the park system, so that there will be new scenes and trips for repeaters and greater opportunities for those who enter the parks for the first time. The park system will soon include certain enchanting areas in the Blue Ridge mountains in Virginia and the Great Smokies in North Carolina. All this is matter for real public pride and satisfaction. The slow but steady expansion of the national park system means the preservation to the American people of many beautiful and unusual regions, as worthy of attention as any of the scenic wonders of other lands and other continents. Mr. and Mrs. Chester Holcomb and Miss Dora Zeyn have disposed of their property at El Centro and are living in Fullerton, where they can be, near Mr. Holcomb's father, the Rev. F. R. Holcomb, who has been in failing health for some months past. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Lewis, who have spent the winter at the Hotel Angelina, are leaving today for their home at Seal Beach, where they will spend the summer months. They plan to return to Anaheim in the fall and will be at home to their friends during the winter at their apartments in the Angelina. BELATED CRITICISMS It is quite futile to argue academic ethical questions with a ynch mob or an army deploying out over a battle front. This is a rather obvious truism, yet apparently it requires an actual demonstration of it to convince a volume American minority of its truth; for this minority has been employing itself for several months past in public, arguing the Chinese question upon a basis of academic rights and wrongs, condemning the state department of this country for being more interested in the present action than in historic verdicts or speculations on the future. Current events in Shanghai seem to indicate that the state department has been right. Our "liberal" publicists appear unable to realize that the American department of state is not obligated to defend the merits of contracts which this country entered into long ago, while it is under a very definite obligation to fulfill those contracts. In other words, Mr. Kellogg is not to blame for whatever wrong and injustice there may have been in the establishment of an international settlement at Shanghai in the year 1863. If this arrangement is wrong, it should of course be revised. But the time for revision is not in the critical time when the barriers of the settlement are threatened by armed forces, but in a normal time when there is some prospect of reason being employed by both parties to the modification. American obligations at Shanghai are typical of American and other foreign obligations throughout China. Under existent treaties, several thousand foreigners have taken up residence in China. They have been guaranteed the protection of their governments. Now if these guarantees are unjust, that injustice should be proved, then eliminated. Obviously, however, the guarantees cannot be abolished at a stroke and at a time when they alone stand as a protection to those who have been led to rely upon them. The state department sent American marines to China when it became apparent that an appeal to force would perhaps be taken. This was the only Most Auto Accidents Easily Preventable Although fatalities and accidents attributable to motor vehicles are generally deplored and for the most part are preventable, there is a big story of health promotion and prolonging life on the other side that is rarely emphasized. While it is obviously impossible to obtain exact figures, some fairly accurate conclusions may be reached from those at hand. These show that the automobile, instead of being a jugger-nut running amuck through the country, in reality is probably the most beneficial things of human kind of modern times. It is pointed out that while there were nearly 22,000 deaths from motor vehicles last year in the United States, this is only one fatality for every 1000 motor vehicles in use, and only one life sacrificed to every 10,000,000 miles of travel. The injuries approximate one for every 200 automobiles in use, and these travel approximately 2,000,000 miles before the injury is involved. Roughly estimating that 30 years of life are sacrificed in each death, it is found that automobiles in the United States are charged with the responsibility of 600,000 lost years for the entire population. The other side of the story is far more cheerful, as physicians and economists give the automobile credit for adding several years of life to the family by which it is owned, in addition to adding in the general health of that family. However, allowing only one year of additional life to each person using an automobile, it is shown that 50,000,000 years are added to the total life of residents of the United States. Thus it is shown that the years of life lost through operation of the 22,000,000 motor vehicles in the United States represent only 1.2 per cent of the gain, making a most conservative estimate of possible years gained and giving a liberal allowance for years sacrificed. But it is possible to make the benefits of motoring 100 per cent by careful driving. Peonies may be planted now or during the early fall. They want a rich soil. Some authorities claim that manure should not be placed in direct contact with their roots, but that the ground should be heavily manured in advance of planting them and the obligations throughout China. Under existent treaties, several thousand foreigners have taken up residence in China. They have been guaranteed the protection of their governments. Now if these guarantees are unjust, that injustice should be proved, then eliminated. Obviously, however, the guarantees cannot be abolished at a stroke and at a time when they alone stand as a protection to those who have been led to rely upon them. The state department sent American marines to China when it became apparent that an appeal to force would perhaps be taken. This was the only course of action left open to the department. Put in office to enforce the guarantees by which this government maintained its guardianship over its nationals abroad, the department could hardly have surrendered its obligations and evaded its responsibilities at the first threat of a contest. If American liberals feel that this country's agreements and international privileges ought to be abolished, and if they wish to argue their case upon a basis of abstract justice, we certainly cannot condemn their principles—whatever we may think of their arguments. But in any given case, the relation of abstract justice ought to be made plain before any crisis of armed conflict occurs. Afterward, academic argument gets nowhere. The question upon which most of our liberals are speaking so fluently today, is really the question of what the powers ought to have done in China a great many years ago. That discussion is interesting, but somewhat irrelevant. Under the circumstances, we can hardly blame our officials for being more interested in the subject of what ought to be done there now. Excavators report the finding of a mysterious pool of oil under a business block in New York City. This was probably the fusel variety and the by-product of a nearby still. Speaking of labor problems, did you ever stop to think of what would happen to the country if mother demanded and got an eight hour day? Peonies may be planted now or during the early fall. They want a rich soil. Some authorities claim that manure should not be placed in direct contact with their roots, but that the ground should be heavily manured in advance of planting them, and the manure mixed with the soil very thoroughly. President Coolidge will not call an extra session. Maybe he thinks this loud in the Reed family has gone far enough. February Big Month In Motor Car Sales With retail deliveries amounting to 14,338 cars, the month of February just past showed the largest sales volume ever reached by the Bulck Motor Company during this month, according to the announcement of C. W. Churchill, general sales manager. The best previous February record was reached in 1926, but was 1750 cars less than the total this year. Bulck production for March, reports George F. Howard, Inc., Bulck distributors for northern Orange county, has been re-scheduled at 1100 cars a day in order to keep pace with this unusually heavy demand of the retail market. The previous schedule called for the same production as of March, 1926, which was a thousand cars a day.
