LOCAL BREVITIES An automobile accident on May 12, at the intersection of Lincoln boulevard and Stanton avenue, resulted in the launching of a $21,000 damage suit in superior court. A car driven by Louise Gibson is alleged to have sped across the intersection in disguard of a stop sign and to have crashed into an automobile in which Ida Gibson was riding as a passenger, hurling it across the street and severely injuring her. R. A. Elliott, proprietor of a welding shop at 203 South Clementine street, suffered a fractured leg when the gasoline tank of an automobile exploded late Tuesday. Elliott was engaged in attaching the tank to an automobile when one end of the container slipped from his hands, striking a piece of metal. The resultant spark caused the explosion. A portion of the tank struck the sole of Elliott's right foot, causing a fracture of the leg. The explosion was heard for more than a block. Mr. and Mrs. N. P. Quarton, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. H. Houts, Miss Pauline Houte left for Washington and points north some days ago. Mr. and Mrs. Quarton will visit their son, Lieut. Dale Quarton, who is stationed at Bremerton Naval base. They expect to be gone several weeks. Mrs. H. H. Easton and two daughters, Miss Honor Easton and Miss Mary Easton, left some days ago for Berkeley to reside until next June when both of the young ladies who are students in the state university will complete their course of study. Miss Honor taking Architecture and Miss Mary Household Arts. Leonard Evans and family are spending a vacation at Balboa. Mr. Evans goes back and forth attending to his law business in this city. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Dyer and daughter, Miss Lois Dyer, have returned from a month's sojourn at the Landing. George A. Henry, Anaheim drug store proprietor, pleaded guilty to a charge of possession of liquor this morning in Police Judge Eldon W. Stark's court and was fined $500, which he paid. Henry was arrested last Saturday night. When deputy sheriffs poured 3500 gallons of confiscated liquor into the courthouse drain at Santa Ana, the fumes spread far and wide—and stout William Chandler, 29, of Tustin, started to back his coupe away from the curb nearby. He had been watching the scene. When his car became entangled with a car in the next parking stall, Undersheriff E. E. French approached, and finally placed Chandler under arrest, charging him with being drunk. Corthouse attaches are wondering if Chandler didn't have an "alibi;" if perchance he hadn't absorbed too much of the fumes. SUES FOR DIVORCE Frances Josephine Backs Mapes of Anaheim, filed suit in superior court for divorce from Harry Calvin Mapes, whom she married in Anaheim January 22, 1927. Mapes, who is also known as Pearl McBride or Paul McBride is now serving a six-months' sentence in the county jail for embezzlement of an automobile from an Anaheim automobile dealer. T. D. McKeehan. Mapes was formerly sales manager for J. W. Schwab and company of Santa Ana and Anaheim. Today he is a "trusty" at the county jail. Mapes, it developed, not only proved to be an embezzler, but also a bigamist. The divorce complaint today set forth that at the time of his marriage to Miss Backs he had a wife, Calla Hayes McBride, whom he had married in 1910 in Linn county, Oregon.

PENNSYLVANIA OIL A The Fin Motor Insur You Can B Motor Insure You Can B PENNSYLVANIA OIL is recognized by lubrication authorities as the finest oil in the world. It has lubricating qualities not found in any other oil—the qualities that keep a car running smoothly, silently month after month without repairs. Richlube Motor Oil is Pennsylvania oil at its best—premium Pennsylvania crude refined by a special process that produces the highest possible lubricating qualities—that enables it to withstand the most intense heat in the "breaking down" test of any after 500 miles average oil and watery, with a power gone.

RICHLU Guaranteed 100% Pure PENNSYLVANIA Edwards Understands Highway Problems Urging legislative action that will relieve Riverside and Orange counties of the cost, amounting to thousands of dollars annually, of maintaining the Santa Ana canyon road, Nelson T. Edwards, candidate for state senator, is bringing to the people of these counties a constructive program of road development that is widely approved throughout both counties. The Edwards plan is to secure the adoption of the Santa Ana canyon road, from San Bernardino to Newport harbor, as a unit of the state highway system. Such action would relieve both Riverside and Orange counties of the necessity of expending large sums on the road annually in maintenance and would release funds for use on other roads of the two counties in need of development. As an example of the benefits accruing to the two counties by having the state take over this highway, Orange county, in the past two years, has spent a total of $75,312.00 on the canyon portion of the road alone. Riverside's expenditures were doubtless proportionate. Mr. Edwards' knowledge of road conditions in Southern California, by reason of his long experience in road building and his four years' service on the California Highway commission, is second to none. While on the state commission he was able to secure and complete a building program in Orange county which included the paved highway from Huntington Beach to Corona Del Mar; the highway from Corona Del Mar to Serra with paving through Laguna; the repaving and widening of the highway from Santa Ana through Tustin; repaving and widening of highway from Galivan through Capistrano to Serra; rebuilding and widening of bridges across Santa Ana river, San Juan creek and El Toro creek; recommending budget allocation of funds for repaving and widening of highway from Fullerton to Santa Ana. Mr. Edwards, who is a banker and practical farmer with land interests in Orange and Imperial counties, has done considerable preliminary work looking Otis Birch Offers To Compromise Suit Is Willing to Accept Assessment of $100,000 on His Property Otis Birch, oil operator in the Brea field, laid before the county supervisors Tuesday his offer of a compromise in connection with the $600,000 assessment placed upon the Birch Oil company's 20-acre property in 1926, which assessment Birch upset in the courts. He offered to accept $100,000 valuation, as an alternative to further litigation with the county. The board agreed to take the proposal under consideration for three weeks, by which time Supervisor E. H. Finley, of Santa Ana, will have returned from his vacation, it is expected, and the full membership will render its decision. Birch and his attorney, reported that they had arrived at the figure of $100,-000 as a fair compromise, after several conferences with L. A. West, special counsel for the county in the various Birch oil cases. The 1916 case was the only one in which the Birch interests were successful, though until several years ago the company contested every assessment annually in the courts. The Orange county superior court upheld Assessor James Sleeper's assessment in the 1916 case, but Birch appealed and succeeded in securing a reversal. The case was recently sent back to superior court for a new trial, ubt both sides are now attempting to reach a settlement out of court. Birch explained to the supervisors today that he considered his property of equal value with the holdings of the Fullerton Oil company in 1916, both properties having been developed to the same degree, but that the Fullerton Oil company was assessed only $47,000. His own assessment should be at least that low, he contended, but he would be willing in order to avoid further litigation, to accept an assessment of $100,000, he said. Art Department At the County Fair A New Feature Which Is Expected to Become Popular Cows and chickens and horses and things that are dear to the heart of the rancher and farmer will not be the only attractions at this year's Orange County Fair, according to Mrs. Albert Launer of Fullerton, president of the Orange County Federation of Women's clubs, who is in charge of an entirely new department of the 12th annual fair which will be held September 3 to 8. This new department is known as the Department of Creative Art, according to Mrs. Frank Rospaw of Placentia, press chairman of the women's clubs and who is working with Mrs. Launer toward the success of the department. The department will be divided into three parts, Music, Painting and Writing. The Painting division is in charge of the Laguna Beach Art association, who will award prizes for original paintings which may be entered from any source. The Music Division is in charge of the Orange County Music Teachers' association, who will award prizes for original music.

Mr. Edwards, who is a banker and practical farmer with land interests in Orange and Imperial counties, has done considerable preliminary work looking to the inclusion of the Santa Ana canyon highway in the state system. As a member of the state senate, his friends believe he would be able to be of great service to the two counties in pressing the project to completion. Birch explained to the supervisors today that he considered his property of equal value with the holdings of the Fullerton Oil company in 1916, both properties having been developed to the same degree, but that the Fullerton Oil company was assessed only $47,000. His own assessment should be at least that low, he contended, but he would be willing in order to avoid further litigation, to accept an assessment of $100,000, he said. The supervisors did not indicate their attitude toward the proposal. The male may suffer certain disadvantages, but he can take off something as the weather gets warmer.

The citations which comprised the Lesson-Sermon included the following Bible verses from I Chronicles, 29: "Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty; for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou are exalted as head above all. Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all. Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name." The Lesson-Sermon also included the following passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 481), by Mary Baker Eddy: "Material sense never helps mortals to understand Spirit, God. Through spiritual sense only, man comprehends and loves Deity." DEATH OF MRS. HITCHENS Mrs. Ruby Crowther Hitchens passed away in her home in Beverly Hills Wednesday evening at 6 o'clock.
