A rough practical test for determining whether the air in a room is too dry is to observe the inside of windows on a cold day. If frost forms freely on the inside of the glass, there is no doubt but that the inside air has sufficient humidity. If there is no sign of frost, the air is likely too dry. As war is causing a famine in China, we might as well get ready to have the hat passed in this country. Maybe one reason for the surplus production of oil is that too many automobiles are now getting 20 miles to the gallon. They'll do the same for you!

His brother, Murdock Henry, came down from Stockton a day or two ago in response to a telegram, and is at his bedside. Dean Metcalf, for a number of years associated with a Los Angeles broadcasting establishment, now connected with one of the leading oil companies of the state, was in town this week, looking after the interests of his firm. Floyd McCracken, editor of the Evening Bulletin, is the proud father of a new son and heir, who arrived at his residence on Thursday. Mother and child are doing well, and Floyd is passing around a really superior brand of editorial smokes. Mrs. Ritza Reardon, of San Diego, well known as a story teller, is to be the principal speaker at the first meeting of the new year held by the Anaheim Ebell Club, January 4. The affair is to be held in the Knights of Pythias hall and is to take the form of a birthday luncheon. The luncheon is to be served at 12:30 o'clock, and members are to be grouped about the tables according to the month of their birth. Mrs. Harry B. Sears is in general charge of arrangements for the event: James W. Martin died at the home of his aunt, Mrs. J. C. Mauerhan, on South East street, Friday. Mr. Martin came here two months ago from Wisconsin. He leaves a wife, one son, and three daughters, all residing in the east. A lumber truck belonging to the F. A. Woods Lumber Company of San Pedro caught from escaping gasoline at Five Points Friday. The fire department was called and extinguished the blaze before much damage was done. Mrs. Schumacher, wife of Supervisor William Schumacher, is a patient at the Anaheim Sanitarium, where she underwent a major operation on Tuesday. The many friends of Mrs. Schumacher will be happy to learn that she OPTIMistic View of Citrus Situation Northern Orange County Will Have 75 Per cent of Crop Though accurate estimates on next season's Valencia crop in northern Orange county, which is now beginning to size and color up nicely, are not expected to be completed until after the first of January, George C. Crawford, assistant manager of the Northern Orange County Citrus Exchange, declared that the yield would be between 75 and 80 per cent of last season's phenomenal crop. The exchange houses in the northern Orange county section shipped a total of 5322 cars of Valencia last season and, if Crawford's estimate is correct, some 4300 cars will be shipped by these houses next season. Adding to this figure 1400 cars that independent houses may be expected to ship, northern Orange county's Valencia yield next year will total approximately 5700 cars. With the decrease in quantity expected for the new crop, a corresponding improvement in size and quality is looked for. Crawford said. The new Valencias have already begun to color up, at least in some sections, and if favorable weather conditions continue, they should make rapid strides in growth, he said. That the average size of both inside and outside fruit is a packing house size less than for this time last year, was revealed this morning by the regular monthly growth rate survey report prepared by Dr. D. D. Waynick, of the association laboratory, of Lincoln road, Anaheim. On the other hand, Dr. Waynick reports, the growth put on by inside fruit during the period November 1 to December 10 was greater than during any similar period in the last three years. That the outside fruit did not show a proportionately greater growth rate during this period is biased to the severe desert wind, experienced throughout the section December 3 and 4. Dr. Waynick said. Business on Coast Very Satisfactory Twelfth Federal District Prospered During Year A continuance of previously noted declines in industrial activity, seasonal expansion in trade, and maintenance of sound credit conditions, characterized the business situation in the twelfth federal reserve district during November. Crop yield and marketing statistics became available during the month furnished further evidence that generally satisfactory financial returns would be realized from the year's operations in agriculture and livestock raising. The incidence of demand for credit has tended to shift from agriculture and industry to trade during recent weeks. Commercial loans of reporting member banks are not now so large in amount as they were a year ago, but it is probable that industry and trade have been accommodated to some extent by the proceeds of loans on securities, which are in record volume. Demand deposits at reporting banks have increased since the mid-summer low point and growth of time deposits has continued, so that deposits of these banks on December 14 were $17,000,000 larger or 0.9 per cent larger than six months ago and $79,000,000 or 4.6 per cent larger than a year ago. As total loans of the banks increased but $4,000,000 over the year period, most of this increase in deposits is reflected in a substantial rise in investment holdings. More extended use of discount privileges at the reserve bank has accompanied the November-December expansion in demand for credit, but the amount of federal reserve funds in use is still relatively small. Discount holdings of the federal reserve bank of San Francisco increased from $29,000,000 to $44,000,000 during the four weeks ended December 14, 1927, and were 16 per cent larger on that date than one year ago. Interest rates for commercial paper hardened slightly during the past month. Reported data on building, lumbering, mining and flour milling show slight declines in activity during November.

The many friends of Mrs. Schumacher will be happy to learn that she is convalescing and will soon be restored to health. HOLIDAY PARTY A very delightful holiday party was given by Mr. and Mrs. Fred Zeppenfeld at their home on Tuesday evening. An informal vocal and instrumental musical program was given, which was participated in by Misses Rose and Elizabeth Donnelly and Miss Lucile McCaffrey. Late in the evening a dainty three-course luncheon was served. Decorations in keeping with the joyous Yule tide were much admired and served to enhance the pleasure of the gathering. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Zeppenfeld and two daughters, Esther and Marian; Mrs. D. Grewco, Miss Esther Grewco, Dr. and Mrs. W. W. Davis and son, Billy, of Brea, Mr. and Mrs. D. J. Donnelly and daughters, Misses Elizabeth and Rose; Miss Lucile McCaffrey, Mrs. Nellie E. Terry and Miss Debby McVeigh. EBELL MEETING The regular meeting of the Anaheim Ebell will be held on Wednesday, January 4, at Knights of Pythias hall. A birthday luncheon will be held at 12:30, at which twelve tables, one for each month of the year will be set. Each lady will be seated at the table representing the month of her birth. It is desired that there be a 100 per cent representation of members. A good program is promised and a number of wonderful surprises. Cheap labor may be dearest in the end. Buena Park Notes (By MRS. J. P. ROBISON) Christmas week was marked by the usual Christmas festivities. The community Christmas tree and program at the school auditorium Wednesday night was witnessed by a capacity crowd.

Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Horn entertained a number of relatives Christmas, among whom were Mr. and Mrs. O. J. Moss and son, Jean, of Somerset, Arizona; Sapphire Horn of Martinez, and Harold Thurman of Lodi. Mrs. C. H. Owens and sons, Percy and Ureston, and mother, Mrs. H. P. King, were guests at a house party at the mountain home of Mrs. King's brother, J. B. Norton, near San Fernando. There were 25 guests entertained over the week-end. Mr. and Mrs. J. B.

Spohn is assistant at the local postoffice, taking the place of Mrs. T. R. Spohn, who resigned. A baby daughter was born, December 21, to Mr. and Mrs. Claud Allin of Highland avenue. Mrs. Bertha Peters has sold the Buena Park Cafe to Mrs. Mamle Bonham. Mrs. Peters and family have moved to the Kidd apartments, on Ninth street. Miss Eleanor Warren, who is teaching at Wasco, is spending her vacation with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Warren. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Morgan and children, who have been living near Artesia, have moved back to their home at Central and Ninth. J. T. Riley and family, who moved away from here last fall to Pico, have moved back to their home on Highland avenue. Mr. Riley has bought a new monthly growth rate survey report prepared by Dr. D. D. Waynick, of the association laboratory, of Lincoln road, Anaheim. On the other hand, Dr. Waynick reports, the growth put on by inside fruit during the period November 1 to December 10 was greater than during any similar period in the last three years. That outside fruit did not show a proportionately greater growth rate during this period is blamed to the severe desert wind, experienced throughout the section December 3 and 4, Dr. Waynick said.

All former students of the school are invited, but reservations must be made at the high school office, according to announcement made by Miss Myrtle Winters, secretary-treasurer of the alumni association. Now that the Senate refuses to recognize certificates of elections from the states, wonder what would happen if the states should quit trying to elect senators? One hundred and twenty-three "reds" were convicted recently in Poland and their sentences totaled 1000 years. That ought to hold 'em for a while. Telephone’s Value In Business World Cities and Towns Brought Close Together by Its Aid When the American republic first began to govern itself, many thoughtful men doubted whether so vast a territory as the thirteen states could possibly be governed from one center, and as other states were added to the Union the same fear was more than once expressed. President Monroe thought that a country reaching from the Atlantic to the Mississippi river was "too extensive to be governed by anything but a despotic monarchy." The triumphant history of American democracy and American unity have put an end to such fears forever. America today is one community, from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from Mexico to Canada. The long distance telephone, more than any other agency, has made this possible. Not only is it possible to reach by telephone every city and town and village in the United States, but also Mexico, and Canada, and Cuba, and, by radio telephone, England. This means that America has become one market, and that industries all over the country can keep in touch with industries in almost any other place on the continent. A fruit-grower in California can talk with a fruit grower in Florida. An automobile manufacturer in Michigan can confer directly with an associate in the mining or oil fields in the Southwest. A moving picture producer in Los Angeles can ring up a theatre owner in New York. We have become a "nation of neighbors" and instead of buying or selling in the nearest county town, we do business over an entire continent. USE OF PRATHER AUTOMATIC WHEEL-O-METER ELIMINATES GUESSWORK Annually hundreds of thousands of tires are sent to a premature grave, and automobiles and drivers are subjected to unnecessary strain and danger because of improper wheel alignment. Alignment troubles result from accidents, bumping curbs when parking, use of improper instruments and guesswork methods when making repairs, and continued use of automobiles on roads different in contour from those to which the car was set by the manufacturer. Tire dealers know that practically all tires presented for adjustment have failed to give satisfactory service because they have not been properly used. Capping and uneven wear alone tell the story of alignment troubles. However, this alignment trouble is a hard thing to explain to anyone but a mechanic, and the average car user likes to know and be shown to his own machine that is simplicity itself, accomplishing a job which for years has been next to impossible for even the best equipped garage. Instead of a "guessing stick" or measuring rods, two drums run the wheels automatically and the friction of the tires pivot the drum until they parallel the wheels, the result of which is registered on a dial, enabling the owner of the car to know exactly what is wrong with his wheels if they are not properly aligned instead of taking someone's word for it alone. This so-called eliminator is the Prather Automatic Wheel-o-Meter, which automatically indicates the alignment condition of a car and provides for the elimination of uneven tire wear due to misalignment. This correction incidentally overcomes shimmy and... use of improper instruments and guess-work methods when making repairs, and continued use of automobiles on roads different in contour from those to which the car was set by the manufacturer.

Cupping and uneven wear alone tell the story of alignment troubles. However, this alignment trouble is a hard thing to explain to anyone but a mechanic, and the average car user likes to know and be shown to his own satisfaction any troubles that he has that are to be overcome before he is willing to spend his hard-carned money to eradicate. This so-called eliminator is the Prather Automatic Wheel-o-Meter, which automatically indicates the alignment condition of a car and provides for the elimination of uneven tire wear due to misalignment. This correction incidentally overcomes shimmy and greatly improves steering of your car. West Brothers, Orange county India distributors, have just installed one of the Prather systems.
