Califf is in receipt of complaints from different quarters of the ghoulish actions of some unprincipled motor owners who have disgraced themselves and brot odium on the entire fraternity of automobileists, in breaking up financial processes by driving into them or in front of them as the funeral cortege was passing. This is, of course, a violation of the law. But it is something even worse, for it in an outrageous desecration of the properties, the decencies, which civilized beings are supposed to observe towards the dead. There is no excuse for such an action, save only where motors are conveying a physician to a dangerously ill patient, where an accident has happened and a wounded person being conveyed to a hospital or to a doctor, and where a house is on fire and the fire department is hurrying to the rescue. In such dire emergencies, the dead must wait for the living. But under all ordinary circumstances to deliberately interfere with a passing funeral procession is in such gross bad taste, and so lacking in common humanity, that the offender deserves to be ostracised by his neighbors, and shunned by even the stranger: )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( )x( ) Heitty Green kept the stock exchange on the anxious seat. John D. Rockefeller has the Standard Oil Co. under his thumb, the Klondike region produced millions over night and the Texas oil fields have made many millionaires—but Huntington Beach has Mrs. Mary Brecklinridge. Though she has more than 80 summers to her credit, Mrs. Brecklinridge has suddenly become one of the speculative geniuses of the beach oil field. Several years ago Mrs. Brecklinridge became a widow, with a rooming house in Huntington Beach as her principal means of livelihood. With the start of the oil boom in the Huntington Beach field, Mrs. Brecklinridge invested her few small savings in land. This she turned to good advantage a short time later. With the money made in these deals she purchased more land, turning it as opportunity presented. Ever on the alert for new propositions and a chance to make a profit, Mrs. Brecklinridge despite her 80 years is active and "on the job" every minute. Recently Mrs. Brecklinridge purchased a small shack on a large lot in the railroad district for $3000. Two weeks later this property was sold by her to one of the oil companies for $5000. Other deals with a similar percentage of profit have plied with and conquered. Traffic must not go on as it is, killing and maturing.

May the crookedest thing about the game be the curves of the honest pitchers. CALIFORNIA CLIMATE at its worst is not so bad. At its best it is as near heavenly as may be found on this terrestrial ball. THE OHIO man will not be over come by a restraining modest, in the matter of seeking office under the Harding administration. AMERICANS HAVE the reputation of being the most extravagant and most wasteful people on the face of the earth. It is an unenviable reputation. GOD GIVES us the year in trust. May we use it honestly, honorably and for the good of those about us or at a distance, whom we may serve. THE WORLD, disarmed in good faith, would live in peace. There is little likelihood of permanent peace so long as vast armaments are maintained. TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS on streets of Los Angeles and other cities are sickeningly tragic and frequent. This Juggernaut menace must be graphed. DR. G. A. NETH Chiropractic & Electric Treatments —Phone 80— 120 W. Center St., Anaheim Theatres "Silk Hoslery," as unusual as its name, starring Enid Bennett, will be seen at the New Fairyland theatre this afternoon and tonight. It is a story of adventure and romance and carries one of the most effective endings of any picture in which Miss Bennett has appeared for some time. "Who's Your Servant?" a sensational picture based on the stage play by Julian Johnson will be the feature of the program at the New Grand theatre tonight. Also a comedy and the serial play, "King of the Circus," starring Eddie Polo, will be seen. One way for the people to assist in suppressing criminality is to look with horror and reprehension upon every outrageous crime. There is too much indifference on the part of the public as to these things. Shocking crimes too often are accepted by the people, as a matter of course, without a show of feeling.
