P.-T. A. ASKS MORE SCHOOL FACILITIES The first meeting of the Anaheim P-T. A after a long vacation was held in the Fremont school yesterday afternoon. A business session of the executive board was held at 3:30 at which time several important matters were brought up. Beginning at 3:45, a splendid program was given, consisting of a talk by Mrs. G. H. Goodale on "Child Welfare," instrumental numbers by Miss Edna Hochul, and two vocal numbers by Miss Alice Grimshaw. The picture contest which started again at this meeting resulted in a picture being awarded to the kindergarten at Broadway and one to Miss Headstrum's room at the same building. At Central building one was given to Miss Schmidt's room and at the Fremont one to Miss Mills. These pictures were given by Mr. Van der Veer. Miss House, the art teacher had retouched them in oil colors, and they were framed in the manual training school department at Fremont. At the business meeting the question of more school buildings was brought up, resulting in considerable discussion. A motion was carried requesting the trustees to call a district meeting. Following the program the ladies were invited into the domestic brough up, resulting in considerable arved. GEERDES BUYS RANCH Wm. Geerdes w.ho sold his 10-acre property on Los Angeles at last month. PARTY ON BIRTHDAY In honor of his sixth birthday anniversary Edward Olmslead, son of Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Olmslead of East Center-st, entertained at his home on Monday afternoon for a few of his young friends. Games formed a pleasant pastime for the early part of the afternoon and later at the two-course luncheon the decorations were all suggestive of St. Patrick's Day. In the center of the table was a green pig and the place cards were green and white. A beautiful birthday cake with six candles occupied a prominent place. Those enjoying the hospitality of the young host were Dorothy Russell, Marjorie Clark, Ruth Melcher, Virginia Stroup, Madeline Newnes, Vic La Monte, Vern Backs, Everett Goff Geo. Schulte, Willard Paxton, John Olstead, and Elsie Goosman. Ben Baxter, Cement Plpe, Pac 175R1 PROHIBITION GREAT HELP TO PROSPERITY Editor's Note: There is much discussion in some quarters of the question, "What will prohibition do to the country and its business." By way of information that might indicate a correct answer to this question, Mayor Couzens of Detroit has answered the question, "What did prohibition do to Detroit?" Here is the mayor's answer: Detroit was the first of the "million" class cities to go dry. The first of May, 1918, saw 1200 saloon licenses automatically cancelled. While the war drys and their abnor- GEERDES BUYS RANCH Wm. Geerdes w.ho sold his 10-acre ranch on So. Los Angeles-st last week for $35,000, has purchased the Phillip Miller ranch on East-st. The consideration for the 10 acres is understood to have been $21,000. There are many bargains offered in the classified columns of The Plain Dealer. Someone has something to sell that you want.

The first of May, 1918, saw 1200 saloon licenses automatically cancelled. While the war drys and their abnormal activities have tended to obscure the direct concrete results of prohibition, my duties as Police Commissioner and Mayor have shown me no permanent damage to the city's prosperity. On the contrary, I have before me the data to prove that the city has benefitted enormously. Petty Crime Decreases Petty crime in Detroit has been reduced from 60 to 70 per cent. The House of Correction previously was overflowing and in need of expansion. Now the commissioners find their charges number only one-third of the former total. The visiting nurses of the board of health report the improvement in home conditions as beyond their greatest expectations. Child welfare has received an impetus which millions of dollars in appropriations could not have effected. Detroit merchants report a greater business from the working classes than ever before, and the banks show a greatly increased number of depositors. There are those who believe that high wages in war plants have brought this about, but it is my personal opinion as a banker, manufacturer and city official that prohibition should have equal credit with war wages. Collections also have been improved. Fewer Accidents The manufacturers were told that prohibition would bring about a labor shortage, but this has been disproven. Factory records show conclusively that the elimination of liquor has reduced tardiness, absence and accidents in the plants to say nothing of production increase. The commissioner of health states that there is no increase in the number addicted to drugs. There is bootlegging of liquor, but it has not been more prevalent than expected, and should be reduced to a minimum when Ohio and Toledo become dry.

There is bootlegging of liquor, but it has not been more prevalent than expected, and should be reduced to a minimum when Ohio and Toledo become dry. No large hotels have gone out of business. While they felt a reaction for a time, they are gradually recuperating. The majority of the downtown cafes and saloons of good reputation have continued in operation. Several of the largest retain their cabarets although they are not on the lavish scale of former times. Real estate values have not been permanently affected. Vice Eliminated The elimination of vice has been aided by prohibition. Detroit abolished her tenderloin before prohibition came, but the dry edict guaranteed that abolition. The theatre business has been better than ever. The best indication of the class which prohibition has its greatest effect among is given by the statement of the manager of a taxicab company. He says that his business was cut 60 per cent. Detroit can not trace the harm prohibition may have done, but it can sense the good effects and the greatest of these will not arrive until the present generation of children has been permitted to develop in homes unmolested by John Barleycorn.

REFUSES $4,000 OFFER Going up! J. F. Ahlborn, who purchased the Simpson ranch on East-st last Friday for $20,000, said today he had been offered, first $3000; and then $4000 for his bargain. He refused. Ahlborn has sold his modern seven room home at Claudina and Sycamore-sts for $2800 to John G. H. Teebken, retired pioneer businessman of Wisner, Neb. where he owns considerable property. He resided there 37 years. 3 months ago he came to the coast and decided to make his home in Anaheim. He will send for his wife and probably for his daughter and grandchildren.
