Bonelli, fourth district member of the state board of equalization. Revenue derived by the state from the Alcoholic Beverage Control act showing a decline of $483,593.31 last year. Revenue in 1938, including license fees and excise taxes, set an all-time high mark since beer was legalized in 1933, of $16,183,472.09. The 1939 revenue was $15,699,-878.78. Total revenue from this source since 1933 is reported by Bonelli as $77,786,650.92. This does not include the three per cent sales tax on all alcoholic beverages and can only be indirectly attributed to the Alcoholic Beverage Control act.

Chas. A. Pearson (Incumbent) Anaheim Municipal Election Apr More Bleachers For Park Likely Spectators at games played at Palma park stadium by the Philadelphia Athletics next spring may find improved seating facilities, if tentative plans now being discussed by the city council materialize. The board of trustees Tuesday evening authorized the engineering department to prepare plans and specifications for additional permanent bleachers to be placed along the right field line. Most important part of the preliminary work will be to estimate the cost of such construction. It is hoped that the project may receive financial assistance from the WPA. Connie Mack, manager and president of the Philadelphia club, has already assured city officials that the club would reimburse the city up to 50 per cent of its expense in building the additional bleachers.

Electricity was assistant hostess." But that could be written about many social events taking place these days. Modern hostesses are using electrical appliances more and more to make parties as pleasant for them as for the guests. Take Mrs. Smith's hypothetical bridge party, for example. She might serve a molded salad, made the previous day and kept in her electric refrigerator; hot rolls, also made in advance and whisked into the oven out of the refrigerator; and coffee, prepared with ease in an electric coffee maker. Perhaps the social event is a dinner party. With a clock controlled electric range, the hostess can prepare the meal in the morning, stay away all afternoon and trust to her automatic oven to cook everything to a queen's taste. In half an hour after her return she can serve a diversified, substantial repast. Unexpected weekend guests do not worry the modern homemaker. Her electric mixer speedily beats a cake, the electric refrigerator provides the necessary food, and her automatic electric range cooks it while she goes out with her friends to show them the town. At informal get-togethers, the sandwich toaster, waffle iron and coffee maker provide delicious refreshments cooked at the table.
