Reports Gun, Light Stolen From Auto Dave Proud Thursday night reported to local officials the theft of a 38-calibre pistol, holster and flashlight from his parked car at Cypress and Helena, which he locked before attending the ball game at the city park. Badgers to Picnic Saturday, Aug. 27 Former residents of Wisconsin have bee ninvited by President (Col.) Frank H. True of the Badger society of southern California to attend the picnic to be held Saturday, August 27, at Sycamore Grove Park, Los Angeles. A brief program will begin at 2 o'clock, following the picnic. Coffee will be served. Joint Star-Masonic Held at Irvine Park Mrs. Ellna Osborn, worthy matron of the local Eastern Star, and Arthur Shipkey, master of the Anaheim Masonic lodge, had charge of the joint picnic hel dat Irvine park Friday evening. Twenty members of the two organizations attended. Following the picnic the group enjoyed a dance and card party. ECLIPSE long one due The next total eclipse of the sun will be visible in most parts of New England on August 31 this year. The moon's shadow will pass across the face of the sun in the afternoon, about 3.28 o'clock standard time, and the total eclipse will last for almost three minutes. Most total eclipses last only a few seconds, so astronomers are looking forward to this one and hoping for clear weather. In the expectations that their photographic instruments will reveal more than is yet known about the elements which exist in the sun. Outside of the black disk of the moon's shadow which obscures the sun's face in a total eclipse, huge flames shoot out, sometimes as far as 100,000 miles, from the body of the sun. There are burning gases, the colors of which, are seen through the spectroscope, tell what they are composed of. It is known that a large part of this flaming mass which we call the sun is iron, heated to a point where it vaporizes. Almost every other mineral found on earth has also been detected in these sun gases, but science is still trying to learn. Whether the sun is getting hotter or cooler is a matter of great importance to all mankind. A drop of a few degrees in the average heat received by the earth from the sun would mean a return of the Ice Age, when glaciers a mile thick formed as far south as Kentucky; an increase of a degree or so in sun heat would start palm trees and sugar cane growing in Labrador.

FAT ... jazz king loses A couple of years ago the fattest man in the public eyes was Paul Whiteman, the famous orchestra leader, who weighed more than 300 pounds. I dined with the "Jazz King" the other night, the first time I had seen him for several years, and was amazed to find him weighing less than 200. "I eat just as much as I ever did," he said, "but I divide up my meals differently. On the day when I eat starches, for example, I don't eat meat or fruit. One day I'll eat only fruit, another day only meat. It's the mixing of all kinds of food in the stomach at one time which makes fat." Maybe it won't work for everybody, but the diet system that the present Mrs. Whiteman worked out—and made Paul adopt before she would marry him, by the way—certainly has had a great effect in his case. WOOD ... worth fortunes Ever hear of Andiroba? Or Castaneira? Those are the names of some of the new kinds of lumber that have been cut on Henry Ford's Brazilian rubber plantation, and which have been brought to the United States for use in cabinet-making. Other rare and new varieties of tropical woods which may be expected to come into use for making fine furniture because of their beauty of color and grain, and their hardness, are Muiracoatiara, Ablu Branco, Massaranduba, Amargaso, Angelim Pedra, Sucupira Amarella, Pau d'Arco, Jutahy, Uxy, Tatajuba and Itauba. The pursuit of new and rare varieties of wood fit for the use of the cabinetmaker is one of the most interesting fields of adventure, in which hundreds of men are engaged. A single log which can be cut for veneers may be worth thousands of dollars; a ship-load of certain South American woods would be worth a comfortable fortune. There are still millions of square miles of forest which have never been explored, and the men who can discover in them new sources of fine woods, can name their own price, almost, for their finds. SOIL ... and sollless crops They've been experimenting with "soilless" farming at the University of California, and have proved, pretty conclusively it seems, that most crops can Submits for the consideration of the voters of Orange County a record of: Fifty-seven years In Orange County. Four years member California Highway Commission. Four years state senator. Author of Southern California highway equalization bill, saving Orange county large sums annually in road maintenance. Protection of the rights and interests of Orange county in the state legislature. Constructive water legislation. Cooperation with agriculture. Correct position on moral and humane issues. Opposing salary increases in last legislature. Senator Edwards, by reason of long experience in business and agriculture in Orange county, is one of the best equipped men available for legislative service. Republican Primaries, Aug. 30th, 1932 There are hundreds of people throughout Orange County who know Senator Edwards personally. If you do not, ask someone who does. You owe it to yourself, your county and your party to select a candidate who is honest and capable. This advertisement is authorized by friends of Neils Edwards, SOIL ... and sollless crops They've been experimenting with "soilless" farming at the University of California, and have proved, pretty conclusively it seems, that most crops can be grown without any soil at all. All that is needed is water and fertilizer. All that makes one soil different from another is the kind and quantity of plant food—nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash—that each contains. Immense crops of celery, potatoes, berries, tomatoes and other vegetables are grown in some parts of Florida where the sandy soil contains naturally almost no plant food. Fertilizers — do the work. It is hardly likely that the staple crops, wheat, cotton, corn and the like, will ever be grown commercially except on soils adapted to them but it is entirely possible that most of the vegetable and small-fruit crops of the future will be grown in wire baskets suspended in water, in which the essential plant foods in their proper proportions have been dissolved. "IKE" ... with a "double-0" Up till 1929, for thirty-five years or so, any letter addressed to "Mr. Hoover, The White House, Washington," would have been delivered to "Ike" Hoover, who has been the major-domo of the Executive Mansion since the days of President McKinley. Few people outside of Washington realize that there are two Mr. Hoover's in the White House, for Ike, is still on the job, and the next tenant of the White House will probably keep him there. He manages the President's domestic arrangements, bosses the cooks, chauffers and servants generally, and his official title is "steward of the White House." Somebody asked Ike Hoover the other day who he thought would be his next boss. He replied: "I don't know who it is going to be but he will have a double 'o' in his name the same as mine."

Pratt, 68, building contractor of San Bernardino, proved to be unfounded when County Autopsy Surgeon Elizabeth W. Tock found that the elderly man had died from a heart attack. The man was found on the floor of a Huntington Beach auto park cabin last week and rushed to the St. Joseph's hospital in Orange, where he died. No inquest was held. Previous to the autopsy report Sheriff Logan Jackson and his aides worked on the theory of foul play because of the blackened condition of the heart disease victim's eyes, which probably were injured during his writhings on the floor of the cabin. Anaheim's Drum and Bugle Corps Places Anaheim's American Legion drum and bugle corps finished fifth in class B competition at the state convention being held at Oakland.

"Mind" Is Subject of Lesson-Sermon "Mind" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon on Sunday in all Christian Science churches, branches of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. One of the Bible citations in the Lesson-Sermon presents the verses from John: "And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum. The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die. Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way." And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth. Then inquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him." A correlative passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy, says, "Science can heal the sick, who are absent from their healers, as well as those present, since space is no obstacle to Mind."
