Charitable Society Collects Legacy Crippled Children's Relief Association Gets $3479.95 The Crippled Children's Association of Orange county has received $3479.65 in cash from the estate of the late Herman F. Moseman of Anaheim. Moseman made a bequest of $5000 to the association, but investigations revealed that he could not legally give that sum to the organization. The money is in banks, but it will be deposited in equal amounts with the Home Mutual Building and Loan Association of Santa Ana and the Building, Loan and Savings Association of Anaheim at 6 per cent interest. Only interest will be used by the association, according to plans discussed by the directors. It is hoped that it may be made the nucleus of a fund that will be enlarged by others who may be of a benevolent character appreciative of the work done by the association. The report of the treasurer, Miss E. Kate Rae revealed that with the donation, the association had a balance on hand as of recent date of $5583.64. Mrs. Gertrude Crowell, superintendent, reported 31 patients, with 184 calls being made during the month. Details of her activities during December brought out the information that assistance had been given to a number of children, of indigent parents, who had been injured in automobile accidents. The secretary, Miss Grace W. Bailey, was authorized to have 2500 pamphlets printed containing information on the operation of the association. Through the activity of committees and the generosity of some individuals, 100 indigent children were supplied with toys at Christmas. E. S. Morrow, of Santa Ana, vice-president of the association, presided at the meeting. President Harry D. Riley arriving too late to officiate. Others present at the conference were Mrs. Gertrude Crowell, Miss Grace W. Bailey, Mrs. George Briggs, Mrs. Oscar H. Renner, Mrs. Cood Adams, Miss E. Kate Rae, Mrs. Thomas McFadden. State Supt. Cooper Speaks Here Tonight The Orange County Principals' and Teachers' Association will hold a meeting in the Elks clubhouse tonight, with John Cooper, state superintendent of public instruction, as the chief speaker. The affair is to open, as usual, with a 6:30 o'clock banquet served in the Elks' dining hall, and reservations have been received from nearly four hundred educators from all parts of the county. This is to be the first time, it is said, that a state superintendent of schools has honored Anaheim with a public appearance and the initial appearance of Superintendent Cooper in Orange county. Arrangements for his appearance here were made by Melbourne A. Gauer, superintendent of the Anaheim grammar schools, who will preside as program chairman at the meeting and introduce the speaker. As a "surprise" feature of the evening, the program committee has arranged for an entertainment feature, the nature of which is not revealed, but which is declared to be outstanding in its character. This is to be the regular monthly meeting of the Orange County Principals' and Teachers' Association. BROWNIE CAME BACK Howard Gates has a thoroughbred little dog which follows him faithfully all about town. Whenever one sees Howard, there is the dog jogging along at his heels. The other day Howard went to Los Angeles, taking Brownie with him, and when it was time to begin the homeward trip, the little dog was nowhere to be seen. He was looked for all around, but Howard had to make his trip home without Brownie. It was a sorrowful homecoming, as the family keenly regretted the absence of the dog. Howard spent three days in Los Angeles, looking for Brownie high and low, and when he was about to start home, giving up the dog for lost, here came Brownie trotting down the sidewalk, wagging his tail and overjoyed to again meet his master. Where he had been he was quite unable to say. LOCAL BRIDGE Joseph Carroll drew from Seattle a few days before honor guest at meetings.

He came down a month ago, with the Washington university football team, traveling on a special train with the team and a number of Seattle rooters. His wife and two children remain in the north, where they are enjoying excellent health and spirits.

Helmsen spent Tuesday and Wednesday in Los Angeles, where she was the guest of friends. Captain Alexander Henry, who was stricken with illness a month ago, is still confined to his bed, and little improvement has been noted in his condition. The captain will be 90 years old in February. The Chanslor-Canfield Midway Oil Company's No. 96, the world's deepest oil well, has been abandoned. Official notice of abandonment was filed with the state mining bureau. The hole was drilled to a depth of 8201 feet. It is understood that the well had some showings of oil near the bottom, but no test was made because of the extreme heat in the hole. Special built tools were necessary to drill the hole to the greatest depth man has ever penetrated into the earth. Some time ago, the well was plugged back to about 3500 feet, where a test was made and, although some oil was found there, it was not enough for commercial production. W. A. Deering of Waldoboro, Me., arrived here Friday on a visit to his son, E. R. Deering, assistant postmaster. Mr. Deering will escape the rigors of a winter in northern Maine by remaining here several months. Residence Wrecked By Gas Explosion Fullerton Family Have Narrow Escape From Death The six-room residence of Prof. John N. Miano, instructor in mathematics at the Fullerton Union high school, was completely wrecked and dwellings in the neighborhood were rocked by an explosion that followed the attempt of Miano to ignite a heater in the front room of his home at 6:15 a.m. Saturday. No member of the family was seriously injured. Miano was slightly burned. Mrs. Miano was in the kitchen at the time of the blast and she was hurt slightly by a door that was thrown against her. Lorraine, the 12-year-old daughter of the home, was in bed and escaped without a scratch. When Miano applied a match to the heater, fire flashed in his face and he was blown several feet from the location of the heater. It is presumed that had been escaping all night from the heater and that the room was filled with gas. The force of the explosion blew out the walls of the house and the roof collapsed, falling to the floor of the dwelling. The demolition was so complete that the only remainingsemblance of a house is the standing walls of one of the small rooms of the dwelling. The residence was located in the 400 block on West Brookside street, and all window panes in a dwelling nearby were shattered. Escape of members of the family from serious injury was considered miraculous. The Miano residence was comparatively new, having been completed four months ago by H. H. Crook and H. L. Ustick and sold to the instructor. The family had completed moving to a new location and in anticipation of this, moved part of the house furnishings to the new address. The estimated loss is $7500. Dr. Johnston to Build Spacious Residence Will Erect 14-Room Home on South Los Angeles Street Dr. H. A. Johnston is making preparations to build a residence on his three-acre site on South Los Angeles street, and work will begin February 1. The house will be a combination of Italian and Spanish design, and will contain 14 rooms, besides five baths. The exterior will be finished in stucco, with hand-made tile roofing. It will be set 200 feet back from the highway, on the west side of the road. Features of the living-room, which will be 23x40 feet, will be a beamed ceiling, large fireplace, and an organ grille. The living-room will open into the library, which will be located at the extreme north end of the building. The entrance hall will open off of a large recess doorway and will contain a winding stairway leading to the upper stories, where the bedrooms will be located. Spacious arches will permit entrance to dining-room, living-room and patio. The latter is expected to be one of the principal features of the mansion. It will be entirely tiled. The spacious lawns will be artistically landscaped in keeping with the architectural design of the building, and most of the land in the rear will be devoted to fruit-bearing trees and vines, a number of rare varieties having already been selected and secured. A vegetable garden, tennis courts, and a golf putting green will be additional features of the landscaping. Bradford President Of Placentia C. of C. A. S. Bradford was re-elected president of the Placentia Chamber of Commerce for the fifth consecutive term at a re-organization meeting held by newly elected board of directors in the Chamber of Commerce offices.

Mr. and Mrs. Robert McKee have returned from a very enjoyable trip to Europe. They visited relatives in England and Ireland, and were in Paris at the time of the Legion's celebration. Refinancing plans, by which the Knights of Pythias Building Association and the Uniform Rank hope to retrieve property involved in foreclosure proceedings in superior court, are understood to be under consideration, following a judgment entered by Judge E. J. Marks in favor of Sophie Rimpau, amounting to $36,700 against the building association and $10,000 and interest against the associated organization. The actions were brought by Miss Rimpau on notes and mortgages covering property sold to the lodge organizations. Bob Fowler and family drove to the Los Angeles county playgrounds, north of Old Baldy, and spent the day in a snow storm. The distance is 87½ miles, and the road leads through Cajon Pass, where it turns northerly beyond the Coast range. It was raining when he left and was plenty cold at the playgrounds. Hundreds of people were having lots of fun snowballing. W. T. Wallop has sold his 15-acre orange grove on Nursery avenue, southwest of town, 10 acres of it being purchased by George Vandenburg, who already owns property in the neighborhood. The other five acres were sold to the Eadington Fruit Company of Fullerton.

Yeomen Lodge To Elect Officers Will Resume Its Regular Meetings After Reorganization The Anaheim lodge of the Brotherhood of American Yeomen, which formerly held an important place among the fraternal and social organizations in Anaheim, will hold their election of officers Thursday evening, January 26. In the Odd Fellows hall. This meeting will mark the beginning of what promises to be an active year for the order, which has not met for the last few months. Its revival is due to the new district manager, Samuel Harris, who is well known throughout Southern California Yeomen lodges for his activity and the success which he has made in reviving other districts. Mr. Harris formerly had charge of Pasadena, Hawthorne, and Inglewood lodges, where he has done very successful work. He is now a resident of Anaheim. Following the regular business meeting, a social hour will be spent. Orchard Heater Test Bulletin Out "Laboratory Tests of Orchard Heaters," a careful and intensive research into the merits of 19 types of heaters, has just been published as Bulletin No. 442 of the College of Agriculture, University of California. The tests were made and the bulletin written by A. H. Hoffman, associate agricultural engineer in the experiment station. The bulletin may be obtained free by writing the farm advisor's office at Santa Ana. Hoffman found that no apparatus existed for the tests he desired to make, and he was forced to invent equipment to make 'his experiments' and to use entirely new methods. Among his findings, Hoffman lists the following in his summary. "All the heaters were found practically 100 per cent efficient from the standpoint of converting fuel into heat, there being almost no carbon monoxide in the bases, and the heat lost in the unconsumed carbon of the smoke being in every case less than one-tenth of one per cent of the total heat in the fuel used." "The heat radiated above the hori- Rainbow Chassis Takes High Rank Comment from the National Automobile Show at New York, filtering back to Flint, indicates that Buick's Rainbow chassis ranked well up among the many show exhibits as a focus of public interest. The Rainbow chassis, prepared under the supervision of Kingston Forbes, represents months of work. It consists of a regular Buick chassis, exterior parts of which are so cut away as to reveal every moving part in actual operation. The frame is finished in soft tan Duco, and the springs, radiator shell, and all other unlacquered parts, including gears, in gleaming nickel. Small lamps of various colors are concealed inside the crankcase, head, transmission and rear axle housings, and torque tube, and between the channels of the frame, and these flash on and off and change hue as the chassis' driving apparatus turns, flooding the whole display with soft light of many tints. George F. Howard, northern Orange county Buick dealer, said that the chassis is said to be the most elaborate attempt ever made to reveal the inner workings of a motor car. Not only the operation of the pistons, but that of valves, camshaft, push rods, crankcase and all the other inter-related mechanism is plainly visible, so that the function of each individual part may be readily discerned. "The chassis is about as far from conventional design," said Mr. Forbes, "as the Rainbow chassis from ordinary cutaway chassis hitherto seen. It is the product of almost a quarter-century of development and progress—development which has produced the vibrationless six-cylinder valve-in-head engine, the double drop frame, the torque tube drive, the famous sealed feature which shuts out dust and moisture, cantilever springs, hydraulic shock absorbers, and mechanical four-wheel brakes." "All the heaters were found practically 100 per cent efficient from the standpoint of converting fuel into heat, there being almost no carbon monoxide in the bases, and the heat lost in the unconsumed carbon of the smoke being in every case less than one-tenth of one per cent of the total heat in the fuel used. "The heat radiated above the horizontal plane ranged from about one to nearly five per cent of the total heat in the fuel. Not all of this radiated heat is lost. The portion that strikes leaves, twigs or other opaque objects and is absorbed serves to warm the air. Baffles for decreasing the radiation loss were found practicable. "High upward velocities and high temperatures tend to waste fuel by sending the hot gases to high levels above the orchard. The velocities found were satisfactorily low, except in high stack heaters not equipped with a horizontal baffle plate. In some of these velocities as high as 14 feet per second were found. "Smoke is always a nuisance and of little or no benefit as a blanket to prevent radiation. The lard-pail heaters were the worst offenders. A number of the later oil burners were practically smokeless when burned at normal and low rates, but all smoked some when burning at very high rates. Satisfactory control of the burning rate was in some cases made difficult, if not quite impossible, by ill-fitting reservoir covers in distilling type heaters. Brilquet heaters smoke considerably at lighting and for a time afterward, but become clearer as burning progresses." We still believe Al Smith has the best chance to get the Democratic nomination for President, in spite of the fact that Norman Hapgood has come out for him. The old-fashioned girl who used to be proud of her home-made bread now has a daughter who brags about the synthetic gin she can make out of denatured alcohol and rain water.
