ON THE LOOKOUT in and about Anaheim with Lowell E. Jessen Anaheim business is on the uptrend. Philosophic merchants, reading the signs in their own business, have found that the old vigor of trading in this city is returning. J. H. Howard, secretary of the Anaheim Realty Board, comes forward with a philosophic observation that is worth considering. He says that in his years of business experience in Anaheim, the real estate mart is a forerunner of business activity. Sales of terra firma of recent weeks has been increasing steadily, and right now there doesn't seem to be a good buy in citrus groves or good farm land that isn't snapped up immediately. Of course, this is somewhat of a buyers' market, but the fact that sales are made without long delays indicates that all business in Anaheim soon will reach its normal level. Realers are not the only ones who are feeling the "normalcy bug." Interest in most lines of business is reviving. Hardware, shoes, department stores, groceries, drug stores and other establishments in Anaheim are showing daily and weekly increases. Packing of valencias, which begins within a fortnight, will bring millions of dollars into Orange county. The orange crop is the county's biggest money-maker, and the citrus industry the greatest in the confines of this rich district. The fact that valencias this year are of extra fine quality, uniform size and the price better than in several years, indicates a larger return than usual even though the crop itself is but little over half of what it was last season. Indications also point to renewed life in the oil fields. After every price war, history shows that production is resumed in hectic fashion. Such was the case last year, and again several seasons ago. Why shouldn't history repeat itself? Since the World war business in the United States—in fact, throughout the world, has undergone considerable change. Methods of merchandising accepted as final a decade ago have been cast aside in favor of new theories which have worked out to advantage of certain business institutions. And these theories are giving way to new practices which just now are wedging their way into the business life of this country. The chain store grew up overnight. It brought problems peculiar to itself and indirectly eliminated hundreds of small, independent merchants throughout the country. The problem became so acute that the Jones law now before congress—this isn't to be confused with the measure providing stringent enforcement of the eighteenth amendment—is designed to eliminate what might appear to be an unfair advantage, by permitting the manufacturer of the article to name the price at which it will be retailed. This will force the chain store to put the same price on its merchandise as the lindenjent store. The writer believes this is putting the horse before the cart. The real problem, it seems, is cutting down transportation costs and building up a marketing organization that will permit sale of goods throughout the world at current supply and demand rates. After all, the greatest benefit to the farmer is putting his produce before the people who need it. If he has to dump his products on a glittered market, he receives nothing for them. But, if he can ship them to other parts of the world and there market them at a fair price, he not only benefits himself, but the people to whom he sells. That, in large measure, is the function of the citrus associations now in operation in Southern California. That, in just as large measure, is the market- FOUR HORSEHAMONG CRIME Lack of Education Send People to Lockup Unemployment, illiterate money and habitual crime—these are the "four crime in California," according to B. Merrill, chief of reaual of criminal identification. The two common limits illiteracy and a college of litheses in crime commenlsays. Although only 7.1 per nation's population is illiterate, 42.8 persons out of 000 illiterates find their prison or reformatory. Only 14.3 per cent of college graduates are criminal offences, as percentage of 51.4 of elemt trailing and 17.5 of highrates. Half of all prisoners could did not pass for school. Half of those homicide or bootlegging yond the fifth grade. Lawers and robbers average grade. Approximately 54 per criminals are unmarried, married, 3.5 per cent wif per cent divorced. Of tha married, 25.7 per cent wif with their mates at the time. At the time of com affences, 31 per cent owe were unemployed.

Morrill, chief of the state bureau of criminal identification. The two common limits of education, illiteracy and a college degree, are antitheses in crime commission, Morrill says. Although only 7.1 per cent of the nation's population is classified as illiterate, 42.8 persons out of every 100,000 illiterates find their way to a prison or reformatory. Only 14.3 per cent of each 100,000 college graduates are convicted of criminal offences, as compiled to a percentage of 31.4 of elementary school training and 17.5 of high school graduates. Half of all prisoners convicted of assault did not pass the fourth grade in school. Half of those convicted of homicide or bootlegging did not go beyond the fifth grade. Larceny offenders and robbers average the seventh grade. Approximately 54 per cent of all criminals are unmarried, 39.8 per cent married, 3.5 per cent widowed and 2.8 per cent divorced. Of these classed as married, 25.7 per cent were not living with their mates at the time. At the time of committing their offences, 31 per cent of all criminals were unemployed. Least unemployment existed among those guilty of embezzlement and homicide, and the greatest amount of idleness among persons convicted of burglary or lacency. The criminal, Morrill says, is usually a poorly-paid individual when he is working. Twenty six per cent earned less than $20 a week when employed. Fifty six per cent earned less than $30 TOM THUMB GOLF COURSE TO OPEN Gala Ceremony Planned for Saturday Afternoon; Two Patents On Miniature Course Anaheim's first Tom Thumb golf course, constructed during the past month at 512 North Los Angeles street, will hold a grand opening Saturday afternoon, owners W. W. Wasser, D. W. Wasser and H. W. Batterman announced Thursday. The course, which boasts 18 holes, is well lighted so that persons desiring to play in the evenings will find no difficulty in following the golf ball, but day or night, may encounter some troubled as scientifically as on the larger fairways. The course, according to W. W. Wasser, is protected by two patents, one on the course itself and the other on cotton seed hulls. A new stucco building will house the headquarters, and new cement walls and a plainly-marked fairway and traps, from a picturesque miniature courst. The Tom Thumb idea originated a little over a year ago at Chatanooga, Tennessee, and since then has spread like wild-fire throughout the nation. Fearn Radio Gets Brunswick Agency Marking expansion to include a more complete line of merchandise, E. E. Fearn owner and manager of the Fearn Radio Shop at 113 South Los Angeles street, this week announced that he had acquired the agency for Brunswick radios. This agency includes the right to sell Brunswick radios, phonographs, and combination sets. A man in Michigan has been indicted for having thirteen wives. He should have known that thirteen is an unlucky number, but come to think of it any number of wives above one is unlucky. The old fashioned woman who used to boast how many cakes she could get out of a dozen eggs now has a daughter who boasts about how many miles she can get out of a gallon of gas.

Los Angeles St. Guardian of the Family "My father, who is past 75, shares our bottle of Syrup Pepsin with his little great-granddaughter aged three. And when I feel constipated, with headache and biliousness, I also get my share of Syrup Pepsin. We would as soon think of being without salt and sugar as not to have a bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin in the house." (Name and address will be furnished upon request) Constipation Always a Danger "Always something," says mother. "Billiousness, sour stomach, headache, colds, fevers—you never know when or what." Syrup Pepsin is mother's safeguard. Sweetens stomach, moves bowels; children recover like magic. No wonder mothers everywhere know and trust Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It is the guardian of the family's health. Sweet, siropy—children and old people love it. Mild, yet thorough in action.

The Democratic Congressional Committee now claims that it will carry the next House of Representatives and Senate. The Democrats have a way of carrying Congress in the April before the November election. It's a good thing they don't use those old-fashioned torches in political parades any more. There would be a lot of investigations as to what oil company furnished the gasoline. A Chicago bandit stole the gold plate from the mouth of a man whom he found asleep. Here is another reason why you shouldn't sleep with your mouth open. The slivers have gone a step further than the doctrine of religious freedom. They are now advocating freedom from religion.
