Millions of Bugs From Insectary Hatchery Distributed 10,000,000 Ladybirds Last Year The Orange county insectary at Anaheim, has produced 10,000,000 cryptolaecemus ladybirds during the present season. D. W. Tubbs, manager of the bug factory, announced. This is a record for boosting the insect population of this section, for last year at this time only 2,000,000 of the little organisms had been hatched. It also is bad news for the mealybugs which have selected Orange county as their headquarters, for the ladybirds like to eat nothing else but these minute pests of the citrus grove. The factory is humming with activity throughout the day, even though the buzzing of thousands of wings cannot be heard. According to Tubbs, who conducts the establishment as a part of the county horticultural work, under A. A. Brock, 100,000 enemies of the mealybug are born every day, and all of them are destined to munch and grow fat on this pest. A systematic survey of the requirements of groves in the mealybug infested area is now being made. Fifty per cent of the area has been reported on. The investigation reveals that 11 per cent of the acreage requires a liberation of ladybirds immediately, while 37 per cent will need to be populated with the cryptolaimus by the time the next generation comes along at the insectary. Under a new plan of making liberations in the field, the grower will be notified when he is to receive his quota of bugs. "It is hoped that this plan will result in more uniform treatment throughout the district than has been given in the past," said Tubbs. "Growers formerly were relied upon to request the service," he stated. LEGION NOTES Mrs. Eleanor Doty Granted Divorce From Husband SEVEN years of marital disagreement ended for John E. Doty, Fullerton druggist, formerly of Anaheim, and his wife, Eleanor, with a final flare-up last New Year's eve at a party in, the Hotel Biltmore, Los Angeles. According to Mrs. Doty, who was granted a divorce in Santa Ana by Superior Judge James L. Allen, they separated January 1, following an asserted rumpus at the New Year's watch party. Doty, his wife charged, became angered and threatened to leave the party. When a friend tried to restore harmony, Doty "chucked" his coat and wanted to fight, the wife said. The interlocutory decree of divorce was conditioned upon the filing of a new property settlement agreement between the Dotys, the original settlement having come into question. Custody of a daughter, aged 2, was granted to Mrs. Doty.

LEGION NOTES Colonel Theodore Roosevelt will be the guest of honor at a big dinner affair to be staged by representatives of the American Legion from all parts of California on April 9 in San Francisco, according to an announcement made by James K. Fisk, state adjutant of the Word war veterans' organization. Roosevelt is coming to California to participate in the meeting of the national council of the Boy Scouts of America, to be held in this city. The dinner to Roosevelt, one of the fathers of the American Legion, will be given under the auspices of the American Legion's Boy Scout commission, headed by Harold H. Price of San Francisco. The Legion posts throughout the state have sponsored the Boy Scout movement in their respective communities and will participate with Roosevelt in the national council deliberations. State Commander Phil Dodson of South Pasadena and other officials of the Legion will be present for the banquet to Roosevelt. California World war veterans have done more for the communities in which they reside than the veterans of any other state, national officials of the American Legion have decided, according to State Commander Phil Dodson of the Legion. As a consequence of the decision, the California state department of the American Legion has been awarded the James A. Drain trophy unanimously for the community service work of the various Legion posts throughout the state. The trophy was awarded on the basis of reports for the year 1927, when Dr. John F. Slavich of Oakland was state commander of the California Legion. Drain, the donor of the trophy, is a former national commander of the Legion and has been a frequent visitor to California. Paul Scharrenberg, secretary of the California Federation of Labor and a member of the California joint immigration commission, headed by James K. Fisk, state adjutant of the American Legion, has fired a broadside at Henry SS. Pritchett, president of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, because of the latter's attack upon the California stand against Japanese immigration. Scharrenberg's stand is seconded by Fisk, representing the American Legion, former United States Senator James D. Phelan, Edward E. Lynch for the Native Sons, and George Bowdwell for the State Grange, the organizations composing the California joint immigration commission. Attorney General U. S. Pacific Foreland League will be held at the University of Southern California on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday March 29, 30, 31.

State and County Co-operate on Dam Orange county already is working in close co-operation with state engineering authorities in developing flood control schemes and investigating possible dam sites in the Santa Ana canyon. Paul Bailey, engineer on the project, announces. The recommendation of the commission appointed by Governor Young to investigate the cause of the St. Francis dam disaster, that all future structures of this class be supervised by the state would not mean that any change would ensue here, but simply would be in keeping with policies already in use. The legislature in 1917 ruled that all dam construction in such districts as this, with the exception of that done under the supervision of the railroad commission, should be made in cooperation with and to pass inspection by state authorities. Municipalities were excluded in this context. Ygnacio Caso García, 46, Doe in the county liquor charges and whisky wives honors. Howar proximately to Frank Arm Olive street.

Scharrenberg says: "The demand for effective Japanese exclusion came from the common people in all walks of life. The demand was formally voiced over and over again by the following four California organizations in their respective annual conventions: the state department of the American Legion, the State Grange, the State Federation of Labor, and the Native Sons of the Golden West. Does Mr. Pritchett mean to insinuate that these four great California organizations are controlled by a few politicians? "Again, if the quota basis were granted to the Japanese, it would necessarily have to be applied to all other Asiatic countries, including China. Otherwise there would be still other and more justifiable charges of discrimination. Under the quota basis China would be entitled to ship more than 2000 coolies per annum to California. It is a singular fact that all Asiatic immigrants have always shown a marked preference for California. According to data submitted by the Japanese delegation at the recent Honolulu meeting, there are 258,844 Japanese in the United States. Of this number, 125,764 are in the Territory of Hawaii, 103,396 are in California, and the other Pacific coast states together have 28,689. All the rest of the states have only 5995 Japanese as residents. These figures are quoted to prove that we are confronted by a condition and not a theory; namely, that the Japanese problem and the Chinese problem in America have always been distinctly California problems. California took the initiative in the long struggle for Chinese exclusion and California led in the fight for the present effective exclusion of Japanese. And California is not disposed to open her gates to even a couple of thousand unassimilable Asiatics per annum." Officers Gather in Many Offenders Six Arrested Saturday Afternoon on Liquor Charges A series of liquor raids in various parts of the county Saturday afternoon and Saturday night netted six arrests and a quantity of beer and whisky. The raids were conducted by Chief Criminal Deputy Sheriff F. W. Howard and six deputies. Mrs. Blanche Addington, Westminster, was arrested late Saturday, when officers walked into her house and found her at the kitchen sink, busily engaged pouring liquor down the drain, they reported. They were able to confiscate 30 bottles of beer and a gallon of liquor, however Mrs. Addington's husband went to San Quentin from here recently for owning and operating a still. She is now in the county jail. Following an alleged fight between F. Rich, 53, and P. Lopez, 60, the latter a woman, at Stanton, Saturday night, they were both arrested and are being held in the county jail for possession of liquor. The woman is said to have had a quantity of 48 per cent beer in her home, and officers reported they found a mixture of beer and whisky in a bottle in Rich's pocket. When officers found 50 gallons of beer in the home of Feliz Gonzales, 60, Los Alamitos, Saturday afternoon, they promptly arrested Gonzales and poured most of the beer out. Some was saved for evidence, however. Ygnaclo Castanado, 60, and Silbano García, 46., Delhi residents were lodged in the county jail Saturday night on liquor charges after a quantity of beer and whisky were found in raids at their homes. Howard reported. Both had approximately ten gallons. It was reported. Frank Armendarez, 28, 251 North Olive street, Orange, was lodged in the county jail this morning by Orange police, on a charge of possession of liquor. THINGS WORTH KNOWING Q.-Where can I find the story of the "forty martyrs"? A.-In the writings of one of the church fathers, St. Basil the Great. They were forty soldiers who met death near Sebaste, in Lesser Armenia, in the persecutions under Icinius, shortly after 316 A.D. An account of this story is contained in the Catholic encyclopedia. Q.-On what date was Mrs. Surratt hanged at Washington, D.C., for complicity in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln? A.-July 7, 1865. Q.-What is a Eurasian? A.-The term is used sometimes to denote the whole continent of Asia and Europe, the "Eurasian continent," but chiefly it is applied substantively to the mixed race that has risen in India from the union between Europeans and natives. Q.-How can cut-glass dishes be polished? A.-Sprinkle with warm sawdust directly after washing and drying in the usual way. A very soft chamois leather must give the final polish, and this should be kept free from dust and for the one purpose only. Q.-When was the first pyramid built? A.-It is not definitely known. The pharaohs of the fourth dynasty of Egypt were known as the pyramid builders. The fourth dynasty began about 3700 B.C. Q.-What is the population of Canada? A.-8,788,483. Q.-How did England gain control of the island of Cyprus? A.-The government of the island of Cyprus frequently changed hands until 1571, when the Turks conquered it from the Venetians and retained possession until it was ceded to England for administrative purposes under a convention concluded with the sultan, June 4, 1878. On the outbreak of hostilities with Turkey on November 5, 1914, the island was annexed by England. Edward B. Merritt Candidate for City Clerk Election Monday, April 9, 1928 I will greatly appreciate the support of the voters of the City of Anaheim, and promise to fulfill the duties of the office to the best of my ability. I have been honored by election to this office by the people of this City before, and I have strivenc in every way, in my official work, to be worthy of the confidence reposed in me. If I shall be elected to the office of City Clerk again, I give my pledge to the California Leads In Motor Vehicles Now Has Two Cars for Every Five Persons California now has two motor vehicles for every five persons, the division of motor vehicles estimated. The estimate is based on the population estimate of the United States bureau of census for the state of 4,556,000 persons as of July 1 next. Total registration of motor vehicles, inclusive of regularly registered passenger cars, trucks, motorcycles, cars owned by dealers and exempt cars, amounts to a grand total of 1,770,838. This gives the state one motor vehicle for every 2.57 persons, estimated on the per capita basis. This would provide enough cars to take the entire population of the state jey-riding at one time, with the populations of Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico thrown in for good measure, and in a pinch there would still be 34,126 trailers to be hooked on to pull the family dog or cat and the household furniture. Motor vehicles except the 1,479,411 reg- Even by eliminating all other types of similarly licensed passenger cars in the state, the entire population of the state could be moved with an average of only a little more than three persons to a car. "California remains the motorist's paradise," said Frank G. Snook, chief of the division, in commenting on the estimates. "No state can boast of so much luxury, so many fine roads and so many beautiful motor cars. Here, as nowhere else, the idea of two cars to a family has taken root. Our records show thousands of men who own more than one motor vehicle. This undoubtedly accounts for our unusual per capita showing." Next year, Snook added, the record will be even more unusual, for unless there is some unprecedented occurrence in the economic world registrations will shoot upward. Snook based this belief primarily on the fact that the manufacturer of a small, low priced car is out this year with a new model, while dozens of other manufacturers have entered the market with improved cars at low prices. DEMAND FOR FREEDOM of the voters of the city promise to fulfill the duties of the office to the best of my ability. I have been honored by election to this office by the people of this City before, and I have strivenc in every way, in my official work, to be worthy of the confidence reposed in me. If I shall be elected to the office of City Clerk again, I give my pledge to the voters that I shall bring to the office the same efficiency and painstaking efforts to please the people that have characterized my work in the past. Thanking the people of Anaheim for their many kindnesses, and soliciting their support at the polls on April 9, I am sincerely yours, EDWARD B. MERRITT, City Clerk of the City of Anaheim. Business Movements BUSINESS is movement material. Printed forms follow them, direct them every messenger on the pavement the highway, for every work every movement of business, proper record made on a print. The increased use of print DEMAND FOR FREEDOM Notwithstanding the several dictatorships in Europe, the demand for democracy as exemplified in the United States is slowly but surely spreading throughout the world. India again demands some rule, Egypt clamors for complete independence, China is paving the way through rivers of blood and misery. Japan and Turkey have made tremendous strides along the modern highway. Russia is finding her feet and will eventually blossom into one of the greatest world powers. Germany has forever discarded autocracy. South Africa and part of Canada and Australia are smouldering with the fires of freedom. Every little nation in South America is following the lead of Mexico and Argentina. For many years the white man has preached liberty, and now the brown, the yellow and black races demand that he practice it. The old order is changing and sooner or later intervention, levy of taxes, monopolistic control of natural resources by foreign powers will be a thing of the past. When this becomes a settled policy war will be averted and peace in the world become possible.
