ON THE LOOKOUT in and about Anaheim with Lowell E. Jessen Rubber checks, totalling during the twelve-month a staggering sum, each year leave Anaheim and Northern Orange county merchants rubbering about diminished profits. From four to 25 checks each week are "plastered" on Anaheim business men by "paper hangers," according to W. L. Currie, manager of the Northern Orange County Credit Association. Serious losses usually are caused by the professional bogus check writers, who commonly write out a small check, purchase something at a nominal cost and get the difference in change. Occasionally checks for large sums are passed, but the larger the sum the more wary the merchant, so that the average bad paper is for small amounts. The total, however, aggregates for Anaheim in proportion to the $5,000,000 loss within recent months in Los Angeles, and the $200,000,000 loss in the United States during the year 1929. "Keep checking your checks" might well be the slogan adopted by progressive business men who constantly are trying to eliminate one of the greatest losses in business, thus increasing profits and better serving the regular trade. Another source of loss that is receiving more attention each week is bad credit. The merchant himself often is responsible for this condition and must assume his amount of the blame for the losses accumulating through this source. Whenever a merchant oversells his patron, he must accept partial responsibility for his loss in case of non-payment—in many cases, this overselling works a hardship on the patron, whose buying power for many months to come is lessened by necessary stinting to pay for merchandise he didn't need. LOCAL BREVITIES Wm. Siemann received the distress news on Tuesday of the death of his brother, Henry Siemann that morning at his home at Westport, South Dakota. Deceased was aged 72 years. Mr. Siemann left on Tuesday evening to attend the funeral services. Mr. and Mrs. Dean Polhemus entertained at a family dinner party on Wednesday evening when Mr. Polhemus mother, Mrs. Emma M. Polhemus of Southgate, and his sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Weinman, of Hanford, were present. Mrs. Weinman will be remembered as Miss Mae Polhemus, formerly a popular society girl of this city. Mr. and Mrs. Weinman have been spending a forthnight with Mrs. Emma Polhemus at Southgate and leave on Saturday for their northern home.

Valencias, this year of extra large size and of first quality, promise to bring greater returns per acre than last year, even though the crop in 1929 was nearly double this season's. Prices received for odd varieties, most of which already are disposed of, indicate a tremendously healthy market for the crop to be packed within the next few months. The wholesome outlook for this major industry stimulates business and credit and prompts an optimistic forecast this spring for northern Orange county. Avlators may not be the wealthiest people in the world but they certainly have a lot of high old times. F. A.

In addition to hearing the woman banking executive, the 75 members and guests also planned to discuss impartially the political situation in Anaheim prior to the coming elections. Jimmy Hefron, commander of the American Legion, was scheduled to outline the platforms of local candidates. Mrs. Kate McCullah, president of the club and presiding officer for the gathering, Thursday stated that the club plans to make a study of politics as they affect Anaheim, because more than half of the voters south of the Tehaphlipi are women. Christian Science Church "Reality" will be the subject of the lesson-Sermon Sunday in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, branches of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. One of the Scripture selections relates the lecident when Christ Jesus entered Simon Peter's house, of which Mark says, "But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her. And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them." The same selection says also, "And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils." A correlative passage from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy, states, "It must be clear to you that sickness is no more the reality of being than is sin... By the truthful arguments you employ, and especially by the spirit of Truth and Love which you entertain, you will heal the sick." Census Takers Coming Soon Questions Must Be Answered Truthfully or Trouble Will Result "Don't get gay with the consustaker." This time-worn warning, which comes only once every 10 years, applies to every citizen of Anaheim, who, on or after April 1, will be visited by one of the census enumerators engaged in Uncle Sam's fifteenth decennial census. Two things should be remembered by every person in connection with this "nose-counting process," federal officials say. One is that the census-taker doesn't give a whoop about your personal affairs. There is no need to lie about your age, conceal the fact that brother Bill is a bootleger, or deny that you were born in the "old country." The enumerators are under oath to keep the questions secret, and are liable to arrest and imprisonment if they fail. When the figures are compiled they are sent back to Washington, D.C., there to be made into funny holes and designs on pieces of card that are used in the big counting machines. A person who fails to answer census questions may be subject to arrest, and conviction may bring a fine of $100 or up to 60 days in jail. Persons who give false information or persons in charge of business institutions who refuse to answer all questions to the beat of their knowledge are likewise subject to arrest. If you remember the census of 1920 you will recognize five new questions this year. One is: "Have you a radio set in your home?" Others include the value of your home, or what you pay in rent; your age at the time you were married; whether you are actually at work, and whether you have served in Uncle Sam's armed forces. "MEN WITHOUT WOMEN" AT FOX THEATRE THREE DAYS STATING MARCH 31 One of the world's most kaleidoscopic spots—the Shanghai "Bund"—forms the nightsticks; grave Chinese merchants in their tiny sidewalk stalls; rickshaws and occasional divvers weaving through the clattering traffic; the shrill voices of the Orient and the deeper bass of the Occident playing in counterpoint—these are but a few of the features of this introductory sequence. Glittering enough in themselves, these scenes are even more memorable by contrast with the background for the rest of the story, the interior of a submarine in the China Sea. Here among the myriad pipes, valves, tanks and gauges of the modern undersea craft, the unique drama works out to its inexorable conclusion—a conclusion that is one of the most dramatic ever filmed. Kenneth MacKenna plays the lead in the picture, with Frank Albertson, Paul Page, Farrell Macdonald, Warren Hymer, Stuart Edwin and George LeGuere supporting. Sixty at Stagg Smoker Members of Phi Chi, local fraternity, were guests Saturday night at a Stagg smoker staged by Kappa Alpha Phi at its Gamma Chi chapter house, 210 East Albert street. Approximately 60 young men of Anaheim attended the affair, which was presided over by J. D. Hill, president of Kappa Alpha Phi. School of Philosophy Dr. R. N. Dasgupta, professor of philosophy at the University of Calcutta, India, a British government school, is to come to the University of Southern California, the first part of June, to give a series of five late-after-noon lectures, which will be open to the public, on Indian Philosophy and Literature. Dr. Ralph Tyler Flewelling, director of the School of Philosophy of S. C., announced today that Professor Dasgupta will be on the Trojan campus during commencement week, and during the S. C. Semi-Centennial Celebration program (May 29-June 7) a feature of which will be the dedication of the new Hall of Philosophy erected this year at the University of Southern California. Dr. Dasgupta is author of "A History of Indian Philosophy." A Yankee inventor says he is perfecting a fool proof aeroplane. It must be one of the kind that won't fly.

Hundreds of Chinese coolies, grunting under the weight of crude wheelbarrows and yokes loaded with matting wrapped bundles; sailors and officers from ships of every nationality on the Seven Seas; Shanghai's "daughters of joy," with their glittering costumes and slippered feet; silk hatted wasters and remittance men from distant lands, defiantly trying to forget their past; Malay women in sarongs and sandals; suave gamblers and "resort" proprietors; sightseeing tourists parties in avid search for novelty; Japanese geishas in gaily patterned kimonos and obis; Russian dancers; turbaned and bearded Silks; naval patrols, swinging their ready Mary Millerick Shop SMART WEAR FOR WOMEN 218-220 E Center ANAHEIM, CAL.

FRUITS AND VEGETABLES "Tony," who owns a vegetable stand in New York or any other eastern city, might be an unlucky fellow if California's exporation of fresh fruits and vegetables failed for one doy. According to the state bureau of fruit and vegetable standardization, 25 per cent of the nation's perishables are shipped from California each year. Last year more than 280,000 refrigerator cars filled with perishables, were sent to supply the country's dining table. In other words, 10 trains of 80 cars each, leave the golden state daily, or and average of a carload every two minutes.
