This is unsatisfactory as so many stricken birds fall on preserve grounds and are lost to the hunter. One Anaheim young man killed eight a few mornings ago and recovered only one of them. A fine of $250 was levied against Rennie Goessens, Buena Park rancher, in Justice Kenneth Morrison's court Tuesday on a charge of rockless driving. He pleaded guilty to the charge.

With more than 200 visitors present, 78 new officers of the American Legion Auxiliary, representing nine Orange county units, were installed at special services held Monday night in Craig hall, Brea. The meeting was described today as one of the most enthusiastic gatherings of Legion men and auxiliary members in the county in several years and certainly the largest ever staged at Brea. Mrs. Rolla McCalla, Santa Ana, eleventh district committee woman, had charge of the meeting and installed the new officers. Representatives from Legion posts throughout the county were present. L. D. Palmer, Orange County Fruit Exchange manager, announces that citrus returns this year in the southern half of the county reached the total of $9,341,400.88 up to October 1, surpassing last year's mark, made during the whole of the season by more than Counties to Survey New Highway Route Orange and Riverside Planning Elsinore-Riverside Road Survey of a route for the long awaited Elsinore-Capitrano highway may shortly be started by Orange and Riverside counties, in the opinion of William Schumacher, chairman of the county supervisors. The expense of the survey, about $3000, will be divided between the two counties, he said. Orange county has been ready for some time to proceed under an agreement recently made regarding the survey. Riverside county is now about ready to fall in line. Schumacher said he has been informed. The survey probably will cover two prospective routes, one following the old road through Sievers canyon, that was washed out by the 1916 floods, and the other, more favored route, passing over the mountains through Verdugo canyon. Although the Verdugo canyon route would be longer, requiring about 15 miles of new construction, it is believed that its cost would be possibly because of the easier construction problems involved. This route would join the San Juan Hot Springs road about three miles below the hot springs. It would mean about eight miles more of road for Riverside county to build, the Riverside end being at the upper shore of Elsinore lake. No estimate of the probable cost of the road has been made as yet. United States forestry officials favor the Verdugo route because it provides greater access to the mountain districts and would facilitate fire control. Insufficient as the forest service may contribute funds toward the project, its opinion may have influence on the decision between the two routes, it is said. Besides the matter of fire protection, the road is desired as a short-cut between the interior districts and the coast, including Newport harbor. It will also open up a magnificent scenic LEGION NOTES In line with the policy established some years ago, the state committee on penal institutions of the American Legion is to ask the state board of prison directors to provide a more adequate system for the training of men and women in California penal institutions so that they may be assisted in rehabilitating themselves upon release. Sheriff W. I. Traeger of Los Angeles, chairman of the Legion's committee, has announced the desire of his committee members to co-operate with other groups in securing legislation for the purpose of bringing about a more extensive system of training in the various penal institutions. Alcohol seized by federal prohibition enforcement officers is being used extensively in the hospitals of the United States Veterans' Bureau in the treatment of disabled World war veterans. It has been learned by officials of the American Legion from General Frank T. Hines, director of the bureau. A large part of the confiscated alcohol is entirely suitable for bathing and rubbing purposes, according to General Hines. Reiterating its stand on the Colorado river development question, the American Legion of California, through its state officials, headed by State Commander Phil Dodson of South Pasadena, will back the efforts of those behind the proposed Swing-Johnson bill at the coming session of congress, according to word from state headquarters of the World war veterans' organization here. "The American Legion department of California, has five times endorsed the Swing-Johnson bill, providing for the construction, by the United States government of a high dam at or near Boulder canyon for flood control and the construction of an all-American canal in conjunction with such dam, under which large bodies of public land would be available for settlement by ex-service men and women," reads the statement which will be sent to each of the three hundred odd posts of the members in the county in several years and certainly the largest ever staged at Brenn. Mrs. Rolla McCalla, Santa Ana, eleventh district committee woman, had charge of the meeting and installed the new officers. Representatives from Legion posts throughout the county were present. L. D. Palmer, Orange County Fruit Exchange manager, announces that citrus returns this year in the southern half of the county reached the total of $9,321,400.88 up to October 1, surpassing last year's mark, made during the whole of the season, by more than $1,000,000. Officials are expecting the remaining month of the season to place this year's total well over $10,000,000. Contributing to this record-breaking total, the month of August, itself a record-breaker, had returns to the amount of $2,052,659.64. Stanley Falkenstein, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Falkenstein of this city, has lately been appointed by the government as assistant superintendent of repairs of public buildings, with offices in the Federal building in San Francisco. Stanley, who graduated with high honors from the university in Berkeley and last year finished a postgraduate course in architecture, was recommended for the position by the secretary of the architectural department of the university. "Civilian Clothes" is the name of the play which the Anaheim Union high school alumni players have chosen to be their vehicle in a benefit performance to be staged in the school auditorium the evening of October 21, according to announcement by Mrs. Fay Kern Schulz, English teacher at the school and member of the group. Proceeds from the play are to be applied to the school's scholarship fund. All those to take part are former drama students of the school.

Asher, was a prominent Anaheim merchant, being associated with Mr. Falkenstein in the well-known Falkenstein's store. F. C. Rimpau, Miss Sophie Rimpau, and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Rimpau returned several days ago from a delightful fortnight's visit to Glenwood Springs, Colo.

Form Library Club For School Pupils Formation of a Library Club, in which 50 selected pupils are given practical training in library work, has just been effected by Miss Helen G. Nelson, Anaheim grammar school librarian. Sixteen of the student-members of the club were elected to represent the various classes in the Fremont intermediate school, one representative from each room, the balance of the 50 members being made up of volunteers. The club is divided into two sections, the fourth, fifth and sixth pupils in section "A" and the seventh and eighth grades in section "B." According to-the-new plan, which is known as the Detroit system, schedules have been worked out whereby each club member is given definite duties to perform in the school library. The object of the system is to provide pupils interested with a practical training in book reviewing and all the technical angles of library work. Miss Nelson said. Plans are announced for a monthly meeting of the club to be held at Miss Nelson's home. The new club plans to hold a social and business meeting once each month at Miss Nelson's home. The first meeting of this kind is expected to be held the evening of October 13, at which time it is expected that officers will be elected and other steps taken to complete the organization. RADIO OF THE FUTURE Rear Admiral W. H. G. Builard, chairman of the federal radio commission, gave the world at large something to think about this week, when he made what appeared at first blush to be an extravagant statement as to the future possibilities of the radio. But Rear-Admiral Builard is neither a sensationalist nor an alarmist, and when he fold the National Broadcasters' Association that within four years time they would play but a minor role in without the customary granum sails. Rear-Admiral Builard expressed the United States forestry officials favor the Verdugo route because it provides greater access to the mountain districts and would facilitate fire control. Insufficient as the forest service may contribute funds toward the project, its opinion may have influence on the decision between the two routes; it is said. Besides the matter of fire protection, the road is desired as a short-cut between the interior districts and the coast, including Newport harbor. It will also open up a magnificent scenic territory on the high mosaas, where several beautiful oak flats would be available as parks, said-Schumacher. A party of 25 county officials, on horses, explored the park sites last month and returned with glowing praise of the natural beauty of that region.

The beautiful malden can now stand knee deep in the daisies without even mussing up her skirts. Rear Admiral W. H. G. Builard, chairman of the federal radio commission, gave the world at large something to think about this week, when he made what appeared at first blush to be an extravagant statement as to the future possibilities of the radio. But Rear-Admiral Bullard is neither a sensationallist nor an alarmist, and when he fold the National Broadcasters' Association that within four years time they would play but a minor role in without the customary granum salis. Rear-Admiral Bullard expressed the belief that while broadcasting is accepted today as a synonym for radio, the time is not far removed when radio's chief use will be to transmit high frequency currents into the home without wires, affording the householder motive power for all of his electrical equipment from toasters to door bolls. It gives pause to the man who has taken his radio as an agency for entertainment and occasional enlightenment and reminds him that he is living in a day of scientific miracles.

Heavy Penalty for Illegal Auto Lights Division of Motor Vehicles Issues Warning to Drivers A final warning is issued to all motorists of the state to beware of illegal lights on their cars as the Division of Motor Vehicles completes the first week of an intensive drive against bad auto lights. One-eyed automobiles are being pounced upon daily by the special highway officers of the state department, as many violators of other provisions of the law regarding lights are also meeting difficulties. The special campaign is being conducted by the division in co-operation with the California public safety conference. The fundamental lighting rule is that no device should project a glaring or dazzling light to any person in front of the vehicle, and headlights are presumed to comply with this requirement if they are equipped with lenses, reflectors or control devices which have been tested and approved by the Division of Motor Vehicles. Auxiliary lights must also be submitted by the manufacturers or sales agents for test by and approval of the Division of Motor Vehicles. It is unlawful to sell, offer for sale or use any headlight, headlight equipment or any auxiliary light of a type which has not been tested and approved by the Division of Motor Vehicles; also it is unlawful for any dealer in motor vehicles to sell or offer for sale any new motor vehicle equipped with headlights which do not comply with the provisions of the California Vehicle Act. There are other special provisions for lights upon loads which extend more than four feet beyond the bed or body of the vehicle carrying them, and also for vehicles having a body or load in excess of 80 inches in width, with which truck drivers and owners should become familiar. These lights are known as clearance or loud lights, and it is extremely important, as a protection to other users of the highway, that such clearance or load lights be displayed.
