Divorce Mill Is Always Grinding Eight Persons Granted Decrees Within a Week Myrtle just skipped out. That is what Henry C. Loptien claims he was told by a member of her family, when he began a search for his lost wife. Now he has an interlocutory decree of divorce against her, one of eight awarded within the last few days in the superior court. Myrtle Loptien does not seem to have enjoyed much admiration from her relatives, for her husband said she had been forbidden to enter the home of her sister-in-law. Loptien won his decree on a charge of desertion. They had been married five months, when she is said to have left him. In a letter written to Mrs. Ella M. Hersey, and introduced as evidence in her suit for divorce against G. H. Hersey, he declared that if she wanted a divorce, he would pay half the cost. Mrs. Hersey now has the interlocutory decree on grounds of desertion. They were married November 26, 1923, and separated the following March. Ernest Alvarez claimed that he had found another man visiting his wife, Ella Alvarez, when he went to see his children, after their separation. The visitor beat him up, according to his story. But this was only a sequel to the alleged attacks made on him by his wife when she threw dishes at him while he was around their home. She wouldn't go to church, he said, but insisted on his taking her to dances, where she would spend the evening with other men. The husband won an interlocutory decree of divorce. Failure to provide was alleged as the basis for an action which won a decree for Mrs. Myrtle Bishop against James Bishop. She alleged that he had deserted her. They were married in 1911 and separated in 1920. Mrs. Isabel Cota has won a legal separation from Frank Cota, following her declaration that he had failed to support her and that he dissipated habitually. They were married in April, 1924, and separated the following August. Income and Wealth Of Leading Nations United States Far Ahead of All Countries of the World Per capita income for the United States in 1924 was $685 compared to $430 for the United Kingdom, $225 for France and $210 for Germany, according to the last available figures comparing the national incomes of all countries, furnished to the department of commerce by the League of Nations. Post-war per capita income for the United States nearly doubles pre-war income, with about 50 per cent increase in the United Kingdom and only a slight gain in France and Germany. In 1924 the total national income of the United States was $79,000,000,000. Estimates place the total for 1926 at $90,000,000,000. The income per person employed in 1926 is estimated at $2010, compared to $1840 in 1924 and $864 in 1913. In 1924 the total national income of the United Kingdom was approximately $19,000,000,000, compared to $13,000,000,000 for Germany and $9,000,000,000 for France. Last available figures on the national wealth of the four leading countries are for 1922; United States, $320,803,000,000; United Kingdom, $88,840,000,000; France $67,610,000,000, and Germany $35,700,000,000. In connection with the steady increase in the natioonal income the department of commerce says that although production has increased steadily since 1919, the number of workers in industry has decreased. In 1925 there were 23,081,000 workers engaged in a griculture, mining, manufacturing, and transportation, compared to 24,969,000 in 1919. The decrease in workers it is stated has increased the output per worker and has not resulted in unemployment, as many have gone into other work, such as construction, operation of gas stations and other such lines. The total value of the industrial output in the United States has been raised from $48,346,000,000 in 1919 to $49,077,000,000 in 1925, the department states.

INCREASED Motor Transit Co. Opposes U. P. Plans Fights Application of Railroad for Permit to Run Bus Line A hearing over the application of the Union Pacific railway for permission to abandon its passenger service between Anaheim and Los Angeles was held at the city hall Tuesday. Granting of the permit was opposed by the Motor TranSit Company, and both sides made a stubborn fight. W. J. Carr of the state railroad commission, conducted the hearing. The railroad company submitted evidence to show the branch line in question had been operated at considerable annual loss and also argued that no other stage company could offer the type of service given by the Union Pacific and demanded by its patrons. In opposition, the Motor Transit Company produced a mass of evidence tending to prove the existing stage lines were able and qualified to handle such additional business as might result from the discontinuance of the gasoline rail service between the points in question. No local witnesses were called by either party, rail and stage officials only being called to the stand. At the conclusion of the hearing Commissioner Carr took the application under advisement and a decision by the entire commission is awaited by the contesting parties.

Snook, chief of the Division of Motor Vehicles, following disclosures that pedestrians comprise about one-third of all persons killed in traffic accidents. Snook has requested the Automobile Club of Southern California to join in urging on the public that so-called Jay-walking is highly dangerous and is also prohibited by law. Ivan Kelso, general counsel of the club, says: "Pedestrian fatalities disclose the need for enforcement of pedestrian regulations as contained in the uniform traffic ordinance adopted in many California cities. Pedestrians must use the crosswalks in any business district or central traffic district. Jay-walking across or down the middle of a business street is strictly prohibited under the ordinance." The uniform ordinance, according to Kelso, grants pedestrians the right of way in marked crosswalks and at other intersections, upon giving signal by holding up the hand toward approaching traffic. Elsewhere in residential districts, pedestrians in crossing the roadway shall do so at right angles and are required to yield the right of way to approaching vehicles. Under the uniform ordinance pedestrians must also obey traffic stop and go signals, crossing the roadway only with released traffic. Observance of these simple rules will materially decrease accidents involving pedestrians. Don't worry if the kid isn't good at mathematics. Maybe he's going to be the boss instead of the bookkeeper. Throughout California, the American Legion Women's Auxiliary units are to take the part of "Mother Organizations" for the children of the state at Christmas time, according to a message sent to each of the units by Mrs. Ethel M. Hearst of Los Angeles, president of the auxiliary. "Christmas activity on the part of all units of the American Legion Auxiliary is indeed a project which should be entered upon with hearts set on doing the things which bring joy and happiness to the sick, both at home and in the hospital; providing for families that are in need and assisting in your respective communities in the work that brings honors and prestige to our organization," says Mrs. Hearst in her state-wide message. State Adjutant James K. Fisk of the California department of the American Legion has been asked to deliver one of the principal addresses at the coming national conference of Legion officials to be held at Indianapolis, December 12-14, according to an announcement from the local headquarters of the World war veterans' organization.

Opposition to the proposed sale of ANAHEIM GAZETTE Parent Teachers Make Fine Record Satisfactory Work in County During Year 1927 According to Mrs. Neal Beisel, press chairman, keen rivalry in building up membership strength, with many constructive activities well under way, mark the closing months of 1927 as one of the most successful periods in the history of the Fourth district congress of parents and teachers. The Parent-Teacher Association of the Anaheim Union high school has just closed a most successful eight weeks' course in parental education and child psychology. The course was given under the supervision of Miss Ruth Whitlock, of the extension division, University of California, and was well attended by parents and teachers from all over the county. Those who have taken the course will serve as teachers in similar classes to be organized later in different localities. Laguna Beach has sponsored the nursery school movement with great success. Two new city councils, similar to that in Santa Ana, have been formed in Orange and Anaheim. Five new associations are ready to ask for their charters and Centralla was granted a charter just recently. Many associations which had been dormant have shown great interest since the opening of the present school year. Among these are Oceanview with 261 members, and Brea with 141. The latter school has not opened its membership drive as yet, but the hearty support of the community is evidenced by its initial membership. The philanthropic work of the District has been so constructive in its results that the chairman, Mrs. Lee of Brea, was recently asked to go to La Jolla and assist in similar work. It is the hope of the district officials that plans for the coming year will be equally as successful. The chief puzzle to the student of political history is when the Balkans gets its rest.

Secretary of Labor Davis says in his annual immigration statistics summary. During the year 253,508 aliens left the United States, 180,142 declaring their intention of returning. Davis said three-fourth of all immigrants entering the United States are in the prime of life, between 16 and 44 years. Of all immigrants admitted last year, practically one-half came from the western hemisphere, the quota restrictions not applying to these nations. Canada and Mexico led with 81,506 and 77,212, respectively, or about 45 per cent of the number admitted. European immigrants admitted totaled 168,368. Germany was the largest land at the National Soldiers' Home at Sawtelle was expressed by Commander Dodson on behalf of the World war veterans. Senator Johnson was asked to fill the Legion in having the federal government reconstruct the burned buildings at Sawtelle as well as provide funds for the construction of additional fireproof barracks to house all veterans who are members of the home. Senator Johnson was also requested to aid in securing the erection of a suitable building at Sawtelle for women members. Community betterment will be one of the outstanding features on the program of the American Legion for the coming year, according to an announcement from state headquarters here. The community betterment program is outlined by Fred F. Bebergall of San Francisco, chairman of the Legion's committee on that subject, includes "doing something for your city." American Legion posts throughout the state are to devote themselves to the fathering of Boy Scout troops; to the securing of playgrounds; better school buildings; local airports; parks; conservation of natural resources; boosting of registration next year; law and order; fostering of the organizing of Girl Scout and Camp Fire Girls' groups and to the general physical and moral cleanup of the various communities of the state.
