BUILDING PROGRAM AT NORMAL AGAIN AND STILL GOING LOS ANGELES, April 14. While not saying so in so many words, information that comes from federal heads in Washington and from other sources to the Building Development Committee is, in effect, equivalent to saying "I told you so." In other words, the nation is not only back to normal, but is ahead of old normal averages in building and construction projects, so far as money values are concerned. These are the figures which the first three weeks of March tell the authorities in Washington, after tabulations and comparisons have been made, and the indications are that April is now double-riveting the did record of the preceding month. In 1911, for the month of March, the building outlay for the nation was $69,000,000; in 1912, $73,000,000; in 1913, $64,000,000; in 1914, $59,000,000; in 1915, $76,000,000 and, in 1916, $95,000,000. Now Washington sends out the glad news that for the first three weeks of March, with over a full week missing, the building permits of the nation aggregated $96,619,791, the last MRS. SISSON DIES Mrs. Jennie Lillian Sisson, wife of Allen Sisson, died Sunday April 13, 1919, at the home of her mother. Mrs. B. J. Brown, on North Lemon-st. Deceased was 26 years of age, and during her residence here of about a year and a half made many friends. Beside her husband, she leaves a father, brother and sister to mourn her loss. All that knew her loved her. Funeral services will be held Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the chapel of Backs & Terry. Interment will be at Loma Vista cemetery. STANDARD SILVER PROSPECTS ROSY Mr. G. M. Simpson came back Saturday fro mthe Standard Minerals Co. mine at Kingman, Ariz., with the firm conviction that they have one of the finest properties in Arizona. On an adjacent property they are now shipping silver ore that is running as high as $4000 per ton. The Standard Minerals Co. mine is now running steadily at full capacity of the present mill and regular shipment of the molybdene concentrates are being made. The company expects to increase the capacity of their mill in the near future. The silver values in the Standard Minerals Co. mine are increasing. nations and comparisons have been made, and the indications are that April is now double-riveting the old record of the preceding month. In 1911, for the month of March, the building outlay for the nation was $69,000,000; in 1912, $73,000,000; in 1913, $64,000,000; in 1914, $59,000,000; in 1915, $76,000,000 and, in 1916, $95,000,000. Now Washington sends out the glad news that for the first three weeks of March, with over a full week missing, the building permits of the nation aggregated $96,618,791, the last of the three week alone mounting up to $39,017,308. If that week's figures were used for the missing week of March, the total for March's building permits would be $135,637,099. Compared with this last total is $95,000,000 for the month of March, 1916—the best March between 1911 and 1917—all of which were "pre-war years." In dollars, March, 1919, appears to lead the 1911-1916 March average over $40,000,000. Even admitting therefore, that present cost levels are higher, they could be 50 per cent higher than the pre-war years—which they are not—and Mar. 1919, would still measure up to a strong pre-war normal. These figures are official and come from the United States Department of Labor and therefore are dependable. With available April figures, the scattered and unofficial showing still better increases than those of March—in some cases by 30 to 40 per cent—it is accepted in competent building circles in Los Angeles that normal building conditions have returned. As if to emphasize the warnings put out by the Building Development Committee that the supply of building labor would quickly be absorbed and depleted, contractors the present week actually are confronting a shortage of carpenter and, if returning soldier contingents do not speedily swell the supply, an appeal for outside carpenters seems almost certain to occur soon. This situation merely serves to emphasize the fact, it is pointed out that building labor wages are as low as they will be and if the present supply falls further below even the present demand, not to mention increased further demand, if seems almost certain that building labor wages will shortly begin raising. The warning is repeated, therefore, from the Building Development Committee's headquarters that to "build now" is the safest and most logical thing to do. In other words, the cost of new construction cannot come down, but very shortly will begin to "go up." BALDWINS ARE MUSIC CLUB MEETS The B Sharp Music club met in the studios of the College of Music Saturday afternoon for its monthly meeting. A large number of members, parents and friends were present to enjoy the musical program and social time which followed.

The Baldwin in addition to giving supreme satisfaction in service is the most economical consumer of ice of any refrigerator made to date.

DEPOSIT YOUR LIBERTY BONDS at the Anaheim National Bank ORANGE-CO IS MOST PROSPEROUS PLACE IN UNITED STATES Orange-co is the most prosperous spot in the United States just now, and Anaheim is the livest point in the county, in the opinion of A.

Business is certainly fine here. We are receiving proportionately more inquiries for safes from this territory than any other place in the country. When people are prosperous, have money, they want safes, places of safe keeping for monies and securities. “What with the enormous activity in the expansions to your rich oilfields and the fine prices now being received for your citrus fruit and all other products, Orange-co can’t be beat.” Beggs also dropped a compliment for Anaheim’s board of trustees. “My work takes me before city councils all over the United States and I want to say that it is very infrequent that I have observed a council which transacts business with such dispatch PICNIC AT COUNTY PK The Young People’s Alliance of the Evangelical Association motored to Orange County Park Friday evening where they enjoyed a picnic.

DUNTON'S LEADING AGENCY IN STATE George Dunton, local Fordson agent, delivered 25 Fordson tractors in March, making this the leading agency for Fordson's and possibly for any make of tractor in California. Mr. Dunton recently entertained a delegation of nine, including the chief designer, of the Olive Plow Co., who have been working in So. Calif. for months on designs for the most practical plow for So. Calif; orchards. A design tried out on C.C. Chapman's and other ranches is a special three-bottom with offset hitch permitting the plow to work just as close to the tree as possible. Mr. Dunton says it is significant that the biggest plow company in the world is going to such length to meet the needs of the orchardist. The new plows will be on the market soon. Mr. Dunton also regards with interest the fact that of the caravan of 47 outros driven thru the state by the traveling farm advisors, 83 were Fords. Mr. Dunton is going after the Japanese tractor business with display advertisements in the Los Angeles Daily News. He estimates there are 400 Japanese tractor prospects in Orange-co. Miss Irma Mills, recent graduate of Haid's Business College at Long Beach, has taken a position as stenographer at the Dunton agency.

The plan, in brief, is to put on some amateur automobile road races here Decoration Day or July Fourth. It is proposed to make the name of Anaheim as well known with racing fans for its amateur road race as Santa Monica is with the professionals. Would Bring Thousands It is suggested that such an event would bring thousands of motor enthusiasts to Anaheim. The program suggested calls for three events: Ford race—about 25 miles. Stock car race, other makes than Fords with certain piston limitations—50 miles.

Mr. Krausnock was well and favorably known here. THOUSANDS MOTOR THRU ANAHEIM TO CAPISTRANO CLIMB heim as well known with racing fans for its amateur road race as Santa Monica is with the professionals. Would Bring Thousands It is suggested that such an event would bring thousands of motor enthusiasts to Anaheim. The program suggested calls for three events: Ford race—about 25 miles. Stock car race, other makes than Fords with certain piston limitations—50 miles. Free-for-all—permitting introduction of "amateur specialists" under certain restrictions. The course has not been determined upon, but it is suggested that it be not more than four or five miles, to permit the cars to whiz by the stands at frequent intervals. Must Decide Soon Of course the program and course are subject to later deliberations, the principal thing now being the decision to go ahead with the big event. The automobile men suggesting it say that there is no use going into it unless it is put over big, and that it should be advertised big all over this end of the state. They argue that it would get Anaheim into the news dispatches as nothing else would, which with the introduction by personal visit to thousands of motorists who would be attracted by the races, would result in wonderful good for this district. It is possible that the plan will be put up to Board of Trade members at their meeting this evening. The o.k. of that body would be sufficient encouragement for the auto men to go ahead with all the "pep" necessary. BIG DAYS FOR AUTO MEN AT SANTA ANA Thursday and Friday of this week are going to be big days for the automobile fraternity when the state convention of the Auto Trades Asn. will be held in Santa Ana. The Odd Fellows bldg. at Santa Ana has been taken over for the two days and evenings and there will be an interesting business and entertainment program. There will be theater parties and side trips for the ladies. Other important entertainment features are banquet with cabaret, followed by dance, and a grunion hunt on the beach about midnight.

That the popularity of this big event is increasing was evidenced by the attendance yesterday which greatly exceeded last year's total of 10,000. Dud Perkins of San Francisco won first prize in the free-for-all with a Harley-Davidson and Calvin Lambert of Los Angeles was second with an Excelsior. In the stock event, "Shorty" Hilton of Buck's motorcycle shop, Santa Ana, was first on an Excelsior and Ralph Sullivan of Los Angeles was second with an Indian. The entry list was double last year's event with $0 in the free for-all and 23 in the stock. Only one accident marred the day when a sailor from Riverside was badly bruised by Hilton's car hitting the ropes. SAVE YOUR TIRES The average autoist is only beginning to appreciate the economy in proper attention to repair of his tires, says Al Faber, of McKeen & Faber, distributors for Savage tires. "Only a small part of the investment in a tire is gone with the tread," continues Faber. It is the tread that costs real money. Save it by renewing the tread and you have practically a new tire. Stop before you begin to wear away the casing, put on a new tread and watch your cost-per-mile for tires go down. Faber's doctrine of proper care for used tires is keeping him increasingly busy. SUNDAY IN THE WITNESS CHAIR The lecturer-evangelist, Mr. John Knox, A.B., accepts challenge to debate the Sunday-Sabbath question. The $100.00 which he has offered for the scriptural evidence that the first day of the week, commonly called Sunday, is divinely enjoyed as a sacred day, will be given to his opponent for the proof of same. The Rev. Mr. Glendening of Monrovia who has been holding meetings in the Christian (Disciples) church on Center-st, is the challenger. Mr. Knox will defend the seventh day as the BANQUET with cabaret, followed by dance, and a grunion hunt on the beach about midnight Friday, with weinle roast about a bonfire.

Schmelzer of the German Evangelical Lutheran church officiated. This morning the remains were shipped to his old home in Logansport, Ind., for interment.

The $100.00 which he has offered for the scriptural evidence that the first day of the week, commonly called Sunday, is divinely enjoyed as a sacred day, will be given to his opponent for the proof of same. The Rev. Mr. Glendenning of Monrovia who has been holding meetings in the Christian (Disciples) church on Center-st, is the challenger. Mr. Knox will defend the seventh day as the Sabbath of the scripture. The other evening in a lecture at Fisher's Hall Mr. Knox declared, "The eight foundation stones for Sunday observance are only sand stones, and are not a safe foundation on which to build for eternity. The first day of the week is mentioned just eight times in the New Testament, but in no instance is it called the Sabbath or said to be holy, nor are we commanded to observe the day for any reason whatsoever. WEEK END PARTY The week-end was pleasantly spent by a crowd of high school girls at Seal Beach and Long Beach. Those making up the party were Alice Ingram, Lucille Davis, Emma Owens, Lucile Johnston, Ruth Crawford, Ruth Omar, Drobothy Swope, Myra Underhill, Helen Hacker, Mary Lough and Mrs. W.
