Three Women Die in Week-End Accidents Many Accidents in County Over Saturday and Sunday Three women yielded their lives to the hazard of traffic in Orange county over the week-end. Two Mexican women of Los Angeles, Mrs. Etta Martinez, 34, and Mrs. Francisco Godoy, 35, were crushed to death by a Santa Fe passenger train at the Galivan crossing near San Juan Capistrano, Sunday evening. Miss Ruth McLendon, 20, of Long Beach, daughter of a former Long Beach chief of police, died early Sunday, following an automobile collision at Crystal Cove, near Laguna Beach, on the Coast boulevard. Mrs. Godoy was killed instantly, Mrs. Martinez died at a Santa Ana hospital at 2:40 a.m. The two women were in a car driven by Jesus Mollimer, 31, brother of Mrs. Martinez. Mollimer suffered head injuries, but was able to leave the hospital. Jesus Godoy, 36, husband of the woman who was killed, is still in the hospital with a broken right arm and serious lacerations. He is expected to recover. Molliner said that he failed to see the approach of the train. Mollimer and his party were driving to Los Angeles from San Diego at 8:10 p.m., when the wreck occurred. The two women were in the rear seat of the car, which received the full force of the crash. The automobile was demolished. The wreck which cost the life of Miss McLendon occurred Saturday night as the girl was returning to Long Beach from Laguna Beach in Company with Harrison S. Brothers, Los Angeles, and William C. Ellison Jr., of Venice, driver of the car. Ellison's car turned over after colliding with a machine driven by R. C. Smith of Huntington Beach. Smith and his companion, Beulah Youell, also of Huntington Beach, were unhurt. Ellison and Brothers were slightly injured. Miss McLendon was removed to the county hospital, where she died at 2 a.m. Irvine Suit Taken To Court of Appeals Despite the fact that Superior Judge James L. Allen has refused to allow the transfer to Los Angeles of the $120,000 libel suit brought by James Irvine, Jr., against the Los Angeles Examiner, courts in that city are to have a chance to pass a few remarks on the case. The district court of appeals is to be approached in the matter and will be asked to order the trial transferred to Los Angeles county, according to its attorneys. Head, Wellington, Jacoles and Scovel. Judge Allen approved a bill of exceptions presented by the defendant and the controversy is now awaiting to be assigned a place on the calendar of the higher court. Should the court of appeals deny the request, the case will go back to the superior court for trial. Irvine, in his complaint, alleged that stories regarding his recent divorce trial, in the Los Angeles Examiner, were libelous. Bureau to Aid in Fertilizer Problem To determine a location on the Santa Fe For the unloading of fertilizers, following the embargo placed by the Orange county health department on using the Olive depot, is a problem that has been handed the Orange County Farm Bureau for solution. In response to a general request to abate the fly nuisance and the disagreeable odors caused by unloading fertilizers in Olive, the health department demanded that the Santa Fe discontinue shipments to that point. An investigation revealed this order would cause an expense bill of around $100 a year to be added to the growers fertilizer costs. An effort is being made to offset this loss by locating a fertilizer depot somewhere in the neighborhood of Olive, at some point of least objection. The farm bureau called a conference representing the railroad officials, supervisors, health officers, and interested Tenth Olympic Held in Main Events in Other City The Olympic game in Amsterdam Europe are attracted in California that the next Olympic held in this state a period of approvals competitions.

Directors of Dairy Department in Meet The monthly meeting of the directors of the dairy department of the farm bureau was held at Ketner's cafe, Santa Ana, May 3, with the following directors present: F. H. Finney, chairman; Santa Ana; H. L. Wakeham, Santa Ana; L. E. Platt, Greenville, William Segerstrom, Greenville, and E. A. Wakeham, Anaheim. J. W. Soden, tester for the dairy department, and W. M. Cory, assistant farm advisor, were also present. The report of Mr. Soden showed that there were 752 cows in the association, with 656 tested this last month for butterfat. They averaged $18.6 pounds of milk and 31.7 pounds of butterfat which is four-tenths of a pound less milk and one-tenth of a pound more butterfat than for the preceding month. Two hundred thirty-two cows produced 40 pounds of butterfat or more each for the month. R. F. Hazard of Westminster had high cow for the month, with 82.5 pounds of buttrefat to her credit. Ostercamp Brothers had second high cow with 80.6 pounds of butterfat. Proper and permanent identification of cows was stressed, since some difficulty has been experienced by the tester in getting positive identification. Where this is the case, past records become of little value. Ear tags are oftentimes lost because of carelessness when they are put in. Activities of the horticultural commissioner in puncture vine control was commended since a few shipments of alfalfa hay were heavily infested, and such a medium offers a source of entry to the county. However, an embargo against alfalfa producing sections where puncture vine is present, would have a reactionary effect on the price of alfalfa, which would work a hardship on many dairymen. The meeting adjourned at 10 p.m., and it was decided to hold a dinner meeting again next month. Grain Growers to Inspect Fields By W. M. CORY Assistant Farm Advisor Grain growers of Orange county, together with a few growers from neighboring counties, will leave their many duties Saturday, May 12, to participate abate the fly manslance and the disagreeable odors caused by unloading fertilizers in Olive, the health department demanded that the Santa Fe discontinue shipments to that point. An investigation revealed this order would cause an expense bill of around $100 a year to be added to the growers fertilizer costs. An effort is being made to offset this loss by locating a fertilizer depot somewhere in the neighborhood of Olive, at some point of least objection. The farm bureau called a conference representing the railroad officials, supervisors, health officers, and interested growers, but were unable to reach a definite decision. A sub-committee has been appointed to continue the investigation and settle the matter if possible, their work being actuated by the fact that orange groves must have fertilizers in order to produce an income for Orange county. War Declared on Hit-and-Run Drivers Police chiefs in California have commenced a war on "hit and run" drives and on the driver who falls to report accidents where persons are injured. Orders have just gone out that traffic men, and all patrolmen as well should join in the campaign started this month by Chief Snook of the state motor police. Section 141 of the Vehicle Act requires these five things of a motorist in case of accident: 1. He must immediately stop. 2. He must render necessary assistance. 3. He must give his registration number to the other party involved. 4. Likewise his name and address. 5. Likewise the name and address of those in his car up to five in number. In addition, Section 142 requires a report of accident to be filed when any one suffers injury. The report must be made to the Division of Motor Vehicles at Sacramento. Should the accident occur in a city, then the report should be made to the local police department. The building rather than the primary aim declares in urgency Legion in boostment in the camp.

M. CORY Assistant Farm Advisor Grain growers of Orange county, together with a few growers from neighboring counties, will leave their many duties Saturday, May 12, to participate in the seventh annual Grain Growers' Field Day, conducted by the Agricultural Extension Service and the Orange County Farm Bureau. The program calls for those attending to assemble at Culver's corner, three miles south of Tustin, on the San Diego highway, in time to leave at 9:30 a.m. From there the caravan will proceed to fields around El Toro and arrive in El Toro at 12:30 for lunch. During the noon hour Harry Froelch, manager of the El Toro warehouse, will speak on the value of clean grain. Prof. W. W. Mackle, division of agronomy of the University of California, will speak on grain diseases and their control. Adjourning at about 2 o'clock, the tour will take in different grain variety plantings on the Irvine ranch and visit the variety test plots conducted by the extension service.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE Tenth Olympiad Held in California Main Events in Los Angeles, but Other Cities Get Part The Olympic games now being held in Amsterdam and other parts of Europe are attracting particular interest in California because of the fact that the next Olympiad, in 1932, will be held in this state. Continuing over a period of approximately eight months, the competitions, when held here, will not only be in sports and athletics, but also in music, architecture, literature, painting, sculpture and other branches of the arts. In this way the Olympiad constitutes virtually a great international exposition, and it is estimated by officials of the California Tenth Olympiad Association that more persons will visit this state during 1932 than have come here in any similar period since the great Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco in 1915. While many of the track and field contests will be held at the coliseum in Los Angeles, which city has provided some $2,500,000 worth of structures, facilities and other equipment necessary to stage the games successfully, a great number of the events will be held at various other parts of the state, making the tenth Olympiad an all-California international event. Besides the eight months' influx of visitors from all parts of the world, which will be of vast benefit to California, there will be almost two years of international publicity from which this state will profit greatly. For at least a year before opening of the games, and for nearly a year of their staging, there will be almost daily chronicling of preparations and happenings, sent broadcast through the world by press associations and special correspondents. The tenth Olympiad will be the first tasting of the games on the shores of the Pacific. This is regarded as an historical opportunity for California.

Flashlights Used in Hunting Pepper Pests The flash of lights down the rows of newly planted peppers is becoming a common sight in the Talbert vicinity since the invasion of the pepper fields by a new variety of pest which takes the heart out of the young plants. Japanese ranchers in this vicinity have taken up the method of hunting the pests with flashlights and placing the worms in jars. The worm, which had been dubbed "the night worm," was unknown in this vicinity until this season. Investigation following the discovery of young plants found destroyed showed that the pest working the havoc in the fields was a night worker, and that it hid in the earth as soon as day broke. This new pest is the third sort with which pepper growers have to contend, the cut worm and the wire worm being the other varieties which have made their appearance heretofore. The pests seem more prevalent in sandy soil. One method being used for the destruction of the worms is the applying of a spray of parts green, bran and water between the pepper rows. The worms seem attracted to the mixture and leave the plants at once to eat the poison. Frequent cultivation also has been found to be one of the best methods for ridding the fields of the night marauders. In 1926 were 298 ships having a total tonnage of 425,240.

Fisk of the Legion. "The building of men and citizens, rather than the drilling of soldiers, is the primary aim of these camps." Fisk declares in urging all posts of the Legion to boost for an enlarged enrollment in the camps. "The period for filing applications is still open and, although applications have been pouring in from all parts of California in unprecedented numbers, we want still more young men between the ages of 17 and 31 years to attend," Adjutant Fisk declares. "The objects of these camps are to bring together young men of high type from all sections of the country and thereby develop closer national and social unity; to teach the privileges, duties and re- THINGS WORTH KNOWING Q.-How many persons committed suicide in the United States in 1925?

MINISTOOL PAINT COMPANY makers of Fine Products Since 1895 LOS ANGELES, CALIF. Anaheim, Calif., May 10, 1928 Trojan Baseball Team Makes Tour of Orient Looking forward to one of the longest and most interesting trips ever undertaken by a college athletic team. Coach "Wahoo Sam" Crawford's University of Southern California baseball men are in San Francisco today, on the first leg of the journey which will take them on a four month's barnstorming tour of Japan, Manchuria, and Hawaii. They will leave San Francisco Wednesday noon, on the N. Y. K. Tenyo Maru. Students of the university gave their team one of the greatest farewell parties in the history of the institution when the Trojans pulled out of San Pedro harbor Friday afternoon. The last sounds heard by the athletes as their ship slipped northward were the strains of famous Trajon battle hymns played by the university band. Four and one-half days will be spent in San Francisco where a game will be played against a team recruited from the leading Japanese niners of the northern region. Only one day will be spent in Honolulu on the way over, but the Travelin' Trojans will have a week there on their return trip in August. The team will arrive in Yokohama May 24, and will play teams in Tokyo from May 25 to June 15. It is expected that games will be played in Honolulu on the return trip. During the remainder of the trip the Trojans will have plenty of ball games, as approximately 45 contests have been lined up for them. One-third of the country's cases of snake bite occur in Texas, a fact of which the Democratic delegation should be apprised.
