Colony Quips Heard an interesting report on a little pool of oil which is forty miles wide and some sixty miles long. Just how deep it is has not been established for the drillers have not been able to get to the bottom. The wells producing out of this area have a head pressure of 1400 pounds to the square inch and the product is of high gravity. Together with many millions of dollars a great lot of American skill and know-how has gone into the development of this area. It is a little hard to get there being in Saudi Arabia and is ruled over by an old King and his fifteenth son. This king has over 200 sons but only the first seventeen count in a political way. The fifteenth one, Feisal, has the same old fashioned ideas as his pop and will succeed to the throne of nothing happens. The two younger sons, so the story goes, are much more modern from the American point of view and a great many people are hoping that the young fellows 'get to' Mr. Feisal and take over the throne. Over in Arabia if a man is caught stealing a small item his hand is cut off, if it is something more important then one of his feet is cut off and if the charge is murder then his head rolls on the ground. From a medical standpoint when a hand is taken off it is cut carefully at the joint and then the stump is plunged immediately into a can of hot tar and the same treatment is used on the stump of a leg. When the head is to come Local Chamber Featured On KVOE Broadcast commerce was presented to Orange county radio listeners last evening (Wednesday) on Radio Station KVOE's "Meet Your Neighbor" program. The weekly feature of the Santa Ana station was transcribed in the new offices of the chamber Tuesday morning. Appearing on the program were Warren Ashleigh, president who outlined the organization of the chamber to the radio audience; E. W. Moeller, secretary-manager, who discussed the industrial plan Plans for the 26th annual Halowe’en grand parade for a contrasting pageant of color depicting Halowe’en eight parade divisions, simulating eight distinct acts. Division of the parade into a well organized mobile bition will permit unlimited possibilities for making year’s the best ever and one of the top ones in the nation according to Dick Gay, chairman. Parade divisions have been titled: “Hallowe’en Old Fashion”, “Our Children”, “Hallowe’en Erne”, “49-ers”, “Spanish”, “Hallowen Western”, “Hallowe’en Western”, “Hallowe’en Grotesque” and the grand flier “Hallowe’en Extravaganza.” Recognizing the problem improper lighting, efforts made this year to utilize lights along the line of mairs insure adequate vision for tators regardless of location. A committee headed by O’Kane has been formed presently engaged in the dement of stunts fittting in w scheme of the parade and of Hallowe’en. All citizens community are particularly courageed to participate i In Arabia if a man is caught stealing a small item his hand is cut off, if it is something more important then one of his feet is cut off and if the charge is murder then his head rolls on the ground. From a medical standpoint when a hand is taken off it is cut carefully at the joint and then the stump is plunged immediately into a can of hot tar and the same treatment is used on the stump of a leg. When the head is to come off the victim is led around a circle by two soldiers who are followed by a seven foot Negro eunich who holds a four foot sharp curved knife as easy as you would hold a light trout line. At intervals the unfortunate is made to kneel and bow his head and then told that he is not in the right place and is led around some more. This goes on for some time and then the blade goes swish and his head rolls like a large golf ball. These ceremonies take place about once a year at the whim of old Ibdn Saud and the prisoners are kept in a stockade to wait his pleasure. If a new culprit is caught red handed, summary justice may be dealt out on the spot. This is rather bad for the offender for he is laid out on the sand and whipped across the small of the back with heavy palm fronds wrapped with rope until ready for the vultures. No wonder a lot of people hope that the two youngest princes take over some time. The story would almost fill a book but here is another one on the peculiar side. The American oil company (Standard) builds beautiful stone houses for its employees over there. They are completely air-conditioned, modern in every respect, have extra rooms for company and are really beautiful to boot. These are for the men who have their families with them but there is one catch. When a vacation period comes, and there a lots of them, the family goes down to the sea shore for the period and if they do not get one or two of the single men to live in the house while they are gone some traveling family of Arabs might break in and go to housekeeping. If this happens there is no way to get them out. The house is simply gone and the king will do nothing about it. Some experience was needed to cope with rules of Saudi Arabia.

The funny part of it all is that the philosophy is somewhat similar. Placing a bet at the county fair is different, in the eyes of the law, than doing the same thing right here in town. We can't figure that one out either. Canton Cafe Is Reopened With Two New Owners The Canton Cafe at 156 South Los Angeles street, this city, has reopened under new management.

Neill, traffic manager of the California Fruit Growers Exchange.

The meeting on Friday was preceded by a meeting on Wednesday of all elements of the industry. At the earlier meeting, industry representatives were in complete accord as to steps to be taken in the fight to reduce freight rates. The citrus industry was represented at the meeting by board members and traffic and executive management of the California Fruit Growers Exchange, Mutual Orange Distributors and American Fruit Growers.

Sacramento, Sept. 22.—(WNS) —Interest rates on veteran home and farm loans for next year will be fixed by the California Veterans board at a meeting scheduled in Los Angeles September 23. The present rate is three per cent, and has been fixed annually at that point since 1946. There was no indication that the rate this year would be changed, according to reports.
