ALSIP Assistant Cashier ARTHUR G. PORTER Trust Officer "For Community Progress" LOCAL BREVITIES A. R. Peck, former president and chief stockholder of the Anaheim Sugar Company, died at his home in Los Angeles Sunday. Mr. Peck was also the principal owner of the Crystal Chemical plant in this city, now known as the United States Industrial Alcohol factory. The body of Mr. Peck was taken to his former home at Syracuse, N.Y., for burial. Rev. Walter Thornton, formerly pastor of the Christian church at Fullerton, has been sued for divorce by his wife, Edith Thornton. She alleges extreme cruelty and charges that he frequently beat her and used vile and offensive language toward her. They now live in Los Angeles. F. C. Eisenhauer, owner of the Orange County drug store, and Earl Mackey, an employee of the store, were arraigned before Judge Stark Tuesday, charged with illegal possession of liquor. Mackey pleaded guilty and paid a fine of $500, while Eisenhauer entered a not-guilty plea, and will be tried by a jury. Quantities of alcohol, bonded whisky and wine were found in the store, officers declare, although the proprietor did not hold a permit to sell intoxicants. Declaring that feeling in Europe is unfriendly towards the United States, J.W.Rutan, prominent Santa Ana attorney, addressed members of the Anaheim Rotary Club at its luncheon meeting Monday. Rutan, who attended the Rotary international meeting at Ostend, Belgium, visited a number of other European cities. The people of Europe seem to hold America responsible for most of their troubles, the attorney said. The first regular meeting of the Merchants and Manufacturers' Association for the new year will be held Monday night, September 26, at 7:30 o'clock, in the city hall. Business before the body will be the election of officers and arranging plans for the annual Halloween festival. Four Cities Use Over Half of Crop New York, Boston, Chicago, and Philadelphia Best Markets Four cities, New York, Boston, Chicago and Philadelphia, are estimated by the bureau of railway economics, maintained here by the carriers, to constitute a market for more than half of the entire crop of oranges produced each year in California and Florida. The actual proportion of the 1926 crop going to these cities, the bureau said, was 55 per cent, while there was an additional supply of Porto Rican citrus fruit that went almost exclusively to New York. For the year ending September, 1926, the orange shipment from Florida and California to the 36 principal markets amounted to 42,290 carloads, and the four cities named took 23,016 cars. New York alone took 32 per cent of Florida production and 24.1 per cent of the California fruit. Prunes Used as Coffee Substitute To manufacture a coffee substitute from the surplus prune crop, based on the recently discovered roasting process, is the object of a company which has recently filed articles of incorporation for $1,000,000. The "Prune Koffy" will taste similar to the coffee now being used, it is said, but the new beverage will be a health drink, not injurious to the nerves or heart. The product is a result of 30 years' experimentation. Prune growers in California and Oregon are evincing considerable interest in the product as a possible outlet for their surplus fruit. The manufacture of the article will utilize thousands of tons of prunes annually, its sponsors declare. SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS BOARD MEETING The southern district executive board meeting was held in Riverside at the University Extension Citrus Station, on Tuesday. Delegates were present from the entire southern district to the number of 131. Mrs. H.E. De Nyse, president of the southern district of the State Federation of Women's Clubs, presided. A number of important business matters came up for discussion among them the southern district convention, which meets at Palm Springs in November. A delightful luncheon was served by the Riverside ladies at the home of Professor and Mrs. Webber of the citrus experiment station. Those present from Anaheim included Miss E. Kate Rae, Mrs. Nellie E. Terry, Mrs. H.H. Benjamin, Mrs. Laura Sears, Mrs. Earl E. Smith and Dr. Bessica Raiche. Soil Expert Pays Visit to County Dr. A.P.Dachnowski, peat soil specialist with the bureau-of-soils, United States department of agriculture, was a guest of Farm Advisor Wahlberg last week while studying the peat soils located in Orange county. Dr.Dachnowski was particularly interested in the peat deposits at Winterburg, where he extracted samples from every foot through a 16-foot strata. The peat formation is the result of thousands of years of tule deposit, according to the specialist. He is gathering peat specimens from all parts of the world for a concentrated exhibit of soils in his department at Washington, D.C. Dr.Dachnowski just recently returned from an extensive soil exploring trip in Europe, Russia, Finland and Sweden. LIGHTS FOR PEDESTRIANS Should pedestrians carry front and rear lights for night walking? This moot question has recently been asked of the public safety department by autolists who declare that pedestrians are generally hard to see when they step out from the curb at night. It is urged by one motorist who is fearful of striking pedestrians that the The first regular meeting of the Merchants and Manufacturers' Association for the new year will be held Monday night, September 26, at 7:30 o'clock, in the city hall. Business before the body will be the election of officers and arranging plans for the annual Hallow-e'en festival. Mr. and Mrs. Julius Schneider motored down from their home in Altadena on Wednesday to spend the day with friends in town. Mr. Schneider attended a meeting of orange growers, and Mrs. Schneider did some shopping. Fred A. Backs and family left Cherbourg on the Leviathan on Tuesday for their homeward trip. They will arrive in New York the first of the week and, after touring points of interest in the East, will come home over the northern route. They will be home the latter part of October. Charley Randall and Curtis Case leave today for Madera county, where they will pay a visit to their extensive silver and lead mining interests. They will return on Monday. Rev. Zimmerman has returned from a trip of several months east, during which time he preached in New York, Boston, Portland, Me., and other cities. He will remain in Anaheim for some time, and will conduct religious services. Two damage suits, aggregating $40,000 confront Dora D. Stoker, woman auto driver, whose car is alleged to have knocked two men from the seat of a truck, in a traffic wreck at the intersection of Huntington Beach boulevard and Seventeenth street, last June 20. G. U. Van Arnam, driver of the truck, claims that he suffered a broken pelvis and dislocation of hips and pelvis, which has permanently crippled him. He seeks judgment for $20,000. An equal sum is demanded by James Becker, 17, Van Arnam's companion on the truck, who asserts that his spine was sprained and that two vertebrae were fractured. Young Becker's suit was brought by his mother, Mattie Becker. SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS Minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. Demands on the county of Orange were allowed as read. State aid was ordered granted to Emma Umenhoffer and Minnie O'Malia. Fumigating licenses were ordered issued to R. C. Cook, Ernest Sissons, R. K. Leutzinger, R. Regan, T. H. Grisham, C. H. Walte, C.

The chairman was authorized to approve the bond on map tract No. $83. Hearing of the petition of E. L. Crawford (et al.) was continued to September 27, 1927, at 10 a.m. The purchasing agent was authorized to purchase a Hudson sedan to be used for the superintendent of highways. Blds for the construction of a grade separation structure, near Stern Station, on the Pacific Electric Railway, will be received up to 11 a.m., October 11, 1927. The board adjourned to September 27, 1927, at 10 a.m. Southern California Athletic Activities The University of Southern California football coaching staff is announced as follows: Howard Jones, head coach; Willis O. Hunter, assistant coach assigned to the backfield; Cliff Herd, to coach the kickers; Leo Calland, line; Jeff Cravath, line; Gordon Campbell, backfield; Aubrey Devine, head freshman coach; Henry LeFebvre, assistant fresh coach, backfield; Kenneth Cox, assistant fresh coach, line. First practice day at the University of Southern California saw some 70 candidates out for the varsity grid positions. Fourteen lettermen were lost from the 1926 Thunderbird and Washington, D.C. Dr. Dachnowski just recently returned from an extensive soil exploring trip in Europe, Russia, Finland and Sweden. LIGHTS FOR PEDESTRIANS Should pedestrians carry front and rear lights for night walking? This moot question has recently been asked of the public safety department by autolists who declare that pedestrians are generally hard to see when they step out from the curb at night. It is urged by one motorist who is fearful of striking Jaywalkers that the pedestrian should be made to carry a lighted lamp of some kind. Automobile headlights do not spot the person in the road quickly enough to avoid trouble, he declares. He also suggests that the walker might carry a light-colored article of some kind, such as a newspaper, which would reflect the light from the automobile. Auto drivers often come perilously near striking pedestrians at night because pedestrian traffic control is not in force at night, except in the congested districts, it is pointed out. SUES FOR DIVORCE Mrs. Edith Jane Thornton has filed suit for divorce from the Rev. Walter Thornton, former pastor of the First Christian Church of Fullerton, and well known in Anaheim. The action was filed in Los Angeles where Rev. Thornton is head of the community chest organization at an asserted salary of $1000 per month. He has other income of $200 per month, his wife alleges. For the past three years the plaintiff has been subjected to weekly beatings by the defendant, she alleges. Rev. Thornton has been the speaker at a number of civic gatherings in Anaheim. Thirty-three Iowa counties have voted a total of $60,000,000 in bond issues for highway construction.

Southern California's crack rooting section which gained national and international fame for the unusual bleacher stunts will continue its presentation of original ideas to football fans, states Paul Elmquist, successor to Burdette Henney as Trojan yell king. The University of Southern California will have a 175-piece band which will perform at all important football games this fall; according to Hal Roberts, Trojan band leader. Historical Society To Meet Saturday Miss Esperanza Carillo of Hollywood, a teacher in the Los Angeles high schools, will speak before the Orange County Historical Society Saturday afternoon, 2 o'clock, at the San Juan Capistrano mission. Her subject will be "The Garces Explorations." Miss Carillo is a descendant of the Yorba family and has probably gained a great deal of her knowledge of this early explorer from accounts received generation to generation from the early Spanishards who were personally acquainted with the work Garces accomplished here. Miss Carillo is a graduate of the University of California. Mrs. J. E. Pleasants, a prominent member of the society, will speak upon "California's Debt to Spain." Drunkenness Cause Of Most Accidents Driving while intoxicated was the cause of over half of the 41 recent revocations of licenses to drive automobiles, a report of the state division of motor vehicles advises. The motorists who lost their licenses for driving while drunk numbered 21, resulting in a total of 41 revocations within a period of two months, the department announced. A special effort is being made by the state vehicle department to eliminate drunken drivers from the highways. Autolists who drive while intoxicated not only cause tremendous danger to themselves, but also to the lives of other innocent persons, according to figures of the public safety department of the automobile club. Other causes for the revoking of driving licenses were physical disability, on request of parents or guardians, after hearings held by the division, and by the courts. Licenses of several drivers were suspended for a period of six months. DELPHIANS MEET The Delphian Club held the first chapter meeting of the year at the Highway Bulb Gardens on Tuesday. It was an all-day meeting. Mrs. C. E. Chamberlain, president, presided, and the delightful program was under the supervision of Mrs. H. G. Carlin, program chairman. The work for the year, "History of Modern Nations," was begun and an instructive and interesting program was presented. The program for the next meeting, in October, will be in charge of Mrs. George Tedrick. Y. L. I. MEETING Miss Neil Robertson, president of the Y. L. I., presided at the regular meeting of the society on Tuesday evening. Installation of Miss Beryl Kennedy as second vice-president and Miss Agnes Stillwell as trustee formed a part of the regular business meeting. Plans for the annual ball, to be held at the Breakers hotel, in Long Beach, WARSHIPS AND TAXES "Battleships Quit for Lack of Funds," reads a newspaper headline. It takes money to make warships go, and there is no money to keep up the battleships Nevada and Oklahoma, because congress failed to make the appropriation asked for to modernize them. So they will be withdrawn from service for an indefinite time, in hope of getting the desired appropriation next winter. Perhaps the most interesting thing about this situation is the fact that it arouses little indignation; and hardly any interest, either among citizens in general or in congress. It is easy to recall a time when any indication that congress was neglecting the navy would have been the signal for a general outburst of patriotic criticism. From the Spanish-American war to the World war that spirit lasted. The United States was building a strong navy, and was proud of it, and eager to pay whatever was required to make and keep it effective. The same spirit naturally lasted through the World war. Since then there has been a remarkable lapse of popular enthusiasm about the navy. The people seem indifferent or hostile to new construction and tired of supporting the ships already in service. They have seen, without a murmur, sound and costly battleships scrapped in accordance with the Washington disarmament treaty. They remain cold to the protests of admirals and statesmen and publicists against letting the British build a navy stronger than ours. Whatever feeling may exist in official government quarters or among professional navy men or private jingoes, the average citizen and taxpayer seems to be "fed up with warships." Thus every demand for more money for naval construction is met with a demand for lower taxes. It is not merely stinginess, either. As strong as any selfish feeling about the matter is honest doubt as to the value of warships hereafter, and a desire to seek peace by avoiding naval competition.
