Those present instructed the school board to get estimates from an architect upon the most pressing needs, a new building at Central and expansion at Fremont, and that another meeting be called to hear the architect's figures. The school board cannot believe that the community is so lapse in its regard to the needs for better school facilities, with several scores of children now out of school because of lack of room, as the small attendance last night would indicate.

The school board cannot believe that the community is so lapse in its regard to the needs for better school facilities, with several score of children now out of school because of lack of room, as the small attendance last night would indicate. It is felt that when the need is really appreciated by the community the board will be given the mandate to go ahead with the new building project. SECOND ANNIVERSARY Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Schumacher, Sr. were pleasantly surprised on Wednesday evening at their home on W. Center-st, when a number of friends gathered to celebrate their second wedding anniversary.

The council also instructed the city attorney and health officer to start drastic proceedings against the owners of property who have persistently ignored the ordinance compelling the hooking up with the sewer.

COMPLETE PROGRAM OF S. S. CONVENTION Final details of the program for the Orange County Sabbath School convention hall to be held in the United Presbyterian church at Santa Ana Tuesday and Wednesday, April 29-30, were completed at a meeting of the executive committee. Prof. A. A. Macurda of the State Normal school, acting as state secretary of the Sunday School Association, and Mrs. Pearle V. Gentry, superintendent of the children's division, presented a program which was unanimously agreed upon. Sabbath school matters are moving fast these days and this coming convention will give all those interested an opportunity of conferring with state and interstate workers upon the problems that face them in their work. Among other matters which the committee discussed was the advisability of trying to secure a paid secretary for the county Sabbath schools in the near future. Although some of the members were optimistic for this step, no action on the proposal was taken. ANOTHER NORMAND FILM MON. NIGHT Movie fans packed the Grand theatre last evening at the showing of "Mickey." No one was disappointed in the great comedy film. Manager Head announced today he had secured another Mabel Normand film, "Peck's Bad Girl," for the Fairyland-next Monday evening. The manager says: "Many of the critics say that this is even a better film than "Mickey," at least, Miss Normand shows up to much better advantage. There will be no increase in prices for this film. The attraction for the Fairyland Saturday is Madge Kennedy, in "A Perfect Lady;" Sunday: Dorothy Gish in "Boots." The Sunday attraction at the Fairyland; Dorothy Gish, in "Boots" is being shown this week at Clunes Broadway in Los Angeles—Fairyland patrons see it Sunday. This attraction is absolutely guaranteed by the management. Dorothy Gish will be remembered as the leading lady star in "Hearts of the World." Also for Sunday a two-reel comedy. SAVE CASINGS, SAYS LOCAL VULCANIZER "It is no longer considered good taste to throw away an auto casing just because it is worn thru the tread," says Al Faber, the vulcanizer, at McKeen & Faber's.

It is quite often that the Taggart Motor Co. will sell three, four and five Chevrolets in a single day, but to sell three in one day to one town is going some. That is what the Taggart Motor Co. did on Wednesday of this week, three sales in one day to Olinda people. They are C. F. Borgen, S. D. Turner and J. W. Stives. Another record made by Taggarts this week is the receipt, sale and delivery of two carloads of Chevrolets. ILLNESS IS FATAL Albert Edward Nicholson, ten, died at 2:20 p.m. Monday, at his home on So.

Mrs. Maud Reiter and Mrs. Ethel Hicks, of St. Louis, who have been spending the winter in Santa Ana, were taken for an auto tour of northern Orange-co yesterday by R. Y. Neal, traffic manager of the Crown Stage Co., who is a former St. Louisan. The visitors were delighted with the country and expressed their determination to make early arrangements to move here from St. Louis. SAVE CASINGS, SAYS LOCAL VULCANIZER "It is no longer considered good taste to throw away an auto casing just because it is worn thru the tread," says Al Faber, the vulcanizer, at McKeen & Faber's. "The tread represents only a small part of the investment; it is the casing that costs money. For the autolist to get the worth of his money, he should have his tires retreaded at least once. "The life of an auto tire can be prolonged wonderfully in this way and the autoist will soon find that his tire bills are not so large as formerly, even the original costs are considerably higher than a few years ago. Save your casings." McKeen & Faber have just handed over a $10 gold piece to A. J. Garroway of Santa Ana, winner in their slogan contest. After carefully going over a large number of suggested slogans, his was adopted by the firm and will appear in all their advertising hereafter. The slogan is: "Your satisfaction our success."

COMBINE Anaheim city council last night set for hearing April 24 the petition of the Crown Stage Co. to consolidate to itself the Rose Stage Co. The Rose Stage now makes two round trips daily between Pomona and Long Beach thru Anaheim. The Crown proposes to make four round trips from Pomona to Long Beach, one car leaving Pomona as early as 7:30 a.m. to permit the inlanders to spend the entire day at Anaheim or the beach. The Crown is just now getting delivery of five new 18 and 30 passenger COUNCILMEN ORDER MUNICIPAL AUTO CAMP GROUND HERE The city council last night adopted a suggestion by Councilman Gibbs to make a free auto camping park on the old water plant site at Cypress at between Lemon and Los Angeles-sta. City Engineer Steward reported on similar improvements at Redlands and San Bernardino where he visited within the last few days and which he found to be very popular with tourists. The city engineer was instructed to arrange for free water, gas and toilets and to clean up the site which is more or less of an eye-sore. It is believed this is the first municipal auto camping grounds in Orange-co and will mean that many tourists between Los Angeles and San Diego will stop over night here. It was announced last night that the Langenberger park enabling act had been passed by the lower house of the legislature and was now before the municipal corporations. itself the Rose Stage Co.

Geerdes for electricity to his ranch at South and Broad-sts was granted. The council granted request of M. Nebelung for extension of sewer about 75 feet to his ranch. Request of Vic LaMont for change to fire limits to permit erection of his new apartment house outside the limits was granted. A letter from the League of Community Interest, Los Angeles, inviting co-operation in the reception to the returning 160th Reg. Saturday, was read.
