"An open tennis tournament, with professionals and amateurs meeting on the same basis, is a certainty by 1934." So declares Big Bill Tilden, professional tennis star. Ralph Greenleaf, the pocket billiard champion, won his ninth straight match including the world's title tournament the other night in New York. Army will play ten football games next fall. A newcomer to the schedule is the University of Illinois which will be played October 1 in Cleveland. Mildred (Babe) Didrikson has turned professional. She is regarded by experts as the country's greatest woman athlete. Some time ago there was a tug of war between two army company teams in India which lasted 2 hours, 41 minutes. Back in 1912 M. Pauliquen of Paris stayed under water 6 minutes, 29 4-5 seconds. More than a mile of adhesive tape was required to repair the Washburn College football team of Topeka, Kansas, last season.

Football practice for the 1933 campaign has started at The Citadel, a college in Charleston, S. C. Nothing like getting an early start. The American game of basketball has become so popular in Europe that there is a movement under way to have it included in the program of the Olympic Games. The Poughkeepsie regatta will not be rowed on the Hudson this June. The depression did it. Harvard and Princeton has contracted to resume relations on the football field. The two teams will meet Nov. 3, 1934, at Cambridge, and at Princeton on Nov. 9, 1935. After a lapse of 33 years Cornell and Syracuse will meet on the gridiron next fall. The Cornell Athletic Council has moved to abandon all intercollegiate competition for Cornell teams, including winter and spring sports, with the exception of basketball. The sports affected by the order are ice hockey, wrestling, fencing, indoor and outdoor track, crew, baseball and lacrosse. The Cincinnati Reds of 1933 will start training at Tampa, Fla., on March 1. The Pittsburgh Pirates will train this year at Paso Robles, California. The first squad will start west February 19. The New York Athletic Club has officially gone on record as opposed to the adoption of the meter by the Amateur Athletic Union. The club cites coaches' opposition, fans' confusion and unfairness to record holders. Ed Elegel, nineteen-year-old metropolitan New York sprint champion, the other night in New York, ran 60 meters in seven seconds flat, thus establishing a new world's indoor record. Kenesaw M. Landis, commissioner of organized baseball, who drew one of the highest salaries in baseball, $65,000, from 1926 to last year, has voluntarily reduced that amount to $40,000 for 1933. Following the lead set last December by the American Association, the International League also will decide its pennant winner next summer on a play-off system, involving four clubs, which will be conducted at the close of the regular round-robin schedule. Lacrosse is said to be the oldest game played on the North American continent.

Christian Science Exhibit Announced The board of directors of the local Christian Science church has been invited to view a public exhibit of international news and advertising of The Christian Science Monitor, that is being held in Los Angeles. In this exhibit, feature and news items of the Monitor are presented attractively by unique posters and scrapbooks. The contents of the paper are graphically shown in special groupings; and the various pages devoted to educational activities, the Home Forum, women's interests, finance, book reviews, etc., have their sections. A mezzanine floor is given to the children's and young folks' items. Hand painted posters give publicity to advertisers in the Monitor. The international aspect of the paper permeates the exhibition. The room in which the display is held, on the ground floor of the Roosevelt Building, 713 West 7th Street, Los Angeles, has been specially decorated and artistically furnished. The exhibit will continue until February 25, and is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., except Sundays, Wednesdays, and holidays. On Wednesday it closes at 7 p.m., and on Sundays and holidays it is open from 1 to 6 p.m. Preparing Boys for Junior Pentathlon Athletic Director Samuel E. Loose of Anaheim's grammar schools this week began preparation of local proteges for the junior pentathlon program to be held in the spring. ANAHEIM GAZETTE Craig Criticizes Booster Program (Continued from Page 1) electric utilities pay a 98 cent rate and the railroads $1.80. He proposes to equalize this at $1.55. Additional tax money would be taken from surpluses now being piled up and going into reserve. He reviewed several highway proposals, including one made by Senator Nelson T. Edwards which now is on file, to play approximately 6800 miles of roadways into the secondary highway system. Knapp urged that no new burdens be placed on utilities, while Placentia's H. H. Hale asked that no permanent practice be made of shifting highway funds into general funds. Knapp pointed out that Orange county's school costs had been cut from $5,365,000 in 1931 to a little over $3,000,000 in 1932 and tentatively had been set at $2,325,000 for the next year. He urged no reduction of state or county school support. The five recommendations submitted by the committee, upon which the booster body will act at its February 28 meeting, are: STATE BUDGETS—It is urged that serious attempt be made to balance the budget by the substantial reduction of state expenditures, rather than by devising new and burdensome means of increasing the revenue from taxation. We protest against the determined effort now being made to shift certain of the state's obligations onto the counties and cities. UTILITIES—Increase in the rate of taxation of public utilities is not favored. We still have confidence that reduced expenditures will enable the state to carry on without making greater demands on public service corporations and their customers. GASOLINE TAX—We oppose any diversion of the gasoline tax proceeds to other than highway construction and maintenance, but believe the reduction of highway bonds and payment of interest thereon from this tax fund to be right and proper. Business Activity Increases Slowly Bank of America Reports Steady and Encouraging Progress In Last Half Year The Bank of America index of far Western business activity continued to reflect encouraging steadiness in the level of business activity throughout the far west during the last half of the year 1932. The influences toward stability which is extremely encouraging in view of the sharp decline in business activity during the first four months of 1932. The January Bank of America's business review which was released this week, also points out an encouraging increase in the bank debit figures for the 14 largest cities of California, the figures for November and December, 1932, are used as a basis for the comparison. In this increased bank debit figure, the Christmas trade is reflected, but in 1931 the increase for the same months was only 20.7% and in 1930 only 15.1%. Borrowings from the federal reserve bank dropped from 30 million to 17 million during the period from December 7 to December 28. During the same period, time deposits in the banks of the 12th district increased 19 million. Commercial deposits continued to increase during the month of December in the entire district. Available statistics indicate that packing corporations and other concerns in California have a considerably smaller stock of locally produced canned fruits on hand than they had a year ago. Isolation to reduce the salaries of elected officials in at least the same proportion as the salaries of appointive officials have recently been reduced. SCHOOL TAXES—Reduction of the state and county contributions to our New Type Form Will Be Used by Assessor Deputy City Tax Assessor Harry Wayne this week prepared to begin assessment work on the first Monday in March, using a new type form which provides records for four consecutive years. UTILITIES—Increase in the rate of taxation of public utilities is not favored. We still have confidence that reduced expenditures will enable the state to carry on without making greater demands on public service corporations and their customers. GASOLINE TAX—We oppose any diversion of the gasoline tax proceeds to other than highway construction and maintenance, but believe the reduction of highway bonds and payment of interest thereon from this tax fund to be right and proper. Counties and cities should be allotted a somewhat larger share of this fund, but, of course, only for road purposes. COUNTY SALARIES—We favor legions to reduce the salaries of elected officials in at least the same proportion as the salaries of appointive officials have recently been reduced. SCHOOL TAXES—Reduction of the state and county contributions to our elementary and high schools is not favored, but we do urge all possible reduction of the demands made by the school trustees upon the individual districts.

CENTER, Anaheim SATISFACTION GUARANTEED, OR MONEY REFUNDED No good physician is a "wet" in the accepted meaning of the term. Yet there are people so unreasonable that they hold other opinions than their own in outspoken contempt. I am as "dry" as the driest of them, but I am not against anything that I can use for the benefit of my patient. I overheard a United States senator say in a radio speech that, alcohol is a narcotic; that it is in no sense a stimulant; that it should be treated by law as opium is treated. He claimed medical authority for his statements. When people tell me that whiskey is not a stimulant to aged and debilitated patients, they do not speak truth. I know better. It is a stimulant to nerves, heart and digestion. It revives the waning body when exhausted from any cause. It is a valuable aid in treating diseases of the aged. One would as well say strychnia is not a stimulant, but a narcotic. We may be able to get along without alcoholic stimulants, or any other drugs, but we are vastly better off with them. We could get along—and let folks die—without physicians; but we don't. There are no more deadly things than firearms, but the policeman must carry them for protection. The good physicians should have everything at his hand for dealing with the enemies of life and health. Because some people haven't sense enough to use alcohol for its proper purpose, is no reason it should be felonious to use it saney as God intended. Narrow-minded, fanatical people are responsible for as many of our troubles as any drug on earth. And I have no use for saloons, or for alcohol as a beverage. P-E-R-S-O-N-A-L-S Ten officers and Grand Knight Stephen Gallagher of Anaheim Knights of Columbus lodge Tuesday evening attended a program in Los Angeles honoring Supreme Knight Martin H. Carmody of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Kanosky, formerly residents of this city, were here for a few days this week visiting with old friends. The "Billie' Quilting club met Thursday for a pot luck luncheon at the home of Mrs. L. A. Daniels, 124 North La Palma street. Mrs. C. A. Katleman of Hollywood this week had as her guest her niece, Miss Madelyn Morelock of North Clementine street. 3 Homes Ransacked, Nothing is Missing Elton Sahr, 427 South Ohio street; Walter Elliott, 515 South Janss street; and Earl Denny, 535 South Indiana street, reported to police that their homes had been ransacked by intruders Saturday night, but nothing was missing. The police believe that boys, looking for money, were responsible. Eyes Examined — Glasses Fitted HOMER A. NELSON, Opt. D. Optometrist TEUTONOPHONE FOR THE HARD OF HEARING Phone 3104 114 N.
