WHITE STAGE HITS FORD AUTOMOBILE Struck squarely amidships and shoved off the road, barely missing a telephone pole, a Ford driven by S. E. Jessup, of Villa Park, was badly smashed when a White Line auto stage operating between Santa Ana and Los Angeles plowed into it on W. Chapman-ave near the County hospital. A companion riding with Jessup suffered cuts about the hands and bile Four about which every one is talking is more than 'just a new model.' They have come to see that it possesses such truly remarkable performing qualities that it has stapped into immediate favor as one of the greatest motor cars of the decade. Its acceptance by the public, with instantaneous, has proven well-deserved in test after test—each harder than the last." Thus speaks J. W. Leavitt, head of the firm of the same name, Oldsmobile distributor for all California-Levitt has ever since the first day it arrived in San Francisco, just before Thanksgiving, when he gave it its first tryout. Levitt has always had a reputation for the thoroguing way in which he tries out new models as they appear on the market, and the other members of the Oldsmobile organization looked on with keen interest to see how the new four-cylinder model would stand up to the tasks "J. W." set before it. The Four accomplished everything Leavitt asked of it and finished up strong. "Right now, there is nothing the matter with business conditions, if you've got the goods. We're not selling cars, people are buying them." LONG BEACH WOMEN INJURED IN WRECK Mrs. Minnie Maher, 2292 Elm-st, Long Beach suffered a possible fracture of the skull and several abrasions and Mrs. Minnie Nelson, 414 E. Twenty-third-st, Long Beach, was badly bruised when the auto in which they were riding overturned on the Los Alamitos-rd yesterday. J. A. Maher, husband of the injured woman, and two daughters of Mrs. Nelson, aged three and five respectively, were badly shaken up but escaped injury. The car was driven by a woman whose name has not been learned at the Seaside hospital, Long Beach, where the injured were taken. It is understood that the car turned over when it ran into a pile of soft earth on one side of the road. PREACHES TONIGHT AT NAGOLIA SCHOOL WHITE STAGE HITS FORD AUTOMOBILE Struck squarely amidships and shoved off the road, barely missing a telephone pole, a Ford driven by S.E. Jessup, of Villa Park, was badly smashed when a White Line auto stage operating between Santa Ana and Los Angeles plowed into it on W. Chapman-ave near the County hospital. A companion riding with Jessup suffered cuts about the hands and arms. No one else was injured. The accident came after Jessup had come to the aid of a stranded auto party and delivered them some gas. He was preparing to turn around to go back to Orange when the stage crashed into his car. The stage was filled with passengers, but all escaped without injuries. In some manner the wheels of the two cars became locked and the heavier machine carried the Ford off the road demolishing a fruit stand at the side of the roadway and grazing a telephone pole before coming to a standstill. The stage was not smashed. 104 SIGN UP FOR NEW CLUB AT S. A. With 104 members for the new commercial and social club proposed for Santa Ana secured the first week those at the head of the movement today expressed confidence in the ultimate success of the undertaking. It is not intended to limit the membership to Santa Ana but to make it a county-wide organization. The committees will work systematically and have been assigned the names of prospectice members. The committees will endeavor during this week to see all of those whom they think may be interested in the club. The membership will be limited to 250 and it is anticipated that this number will be quickly listed. As soon as 200 names have been placed on the membership roll a meeting will be called for the purpose of organizing and selecting a name for the club.

Warehouse Space — Phone 158 IN freight rates by the Interstate Commerce commission, which has placed almost a prohibitive rate upon the delivery of our goods to eastern markets, there is cause to consider more closely the necessity for water transportation." Bisby told of the saving in transportation expense and in delays that would be made possible for the interior communities by the use of the Orange-co harbor. "At the present time," said Bisby, "all merchandise shipped by water for this section of California reaches San Pedro, is unloaded from the vessels to the dock, from the dock to the car, then it is transported inland to Los Angeles. From there it is distributed in carloads to the respective communities to which it has been consigned. Reaching its destination, the car is unloaded at the station to trucks and then hauled to the place of business and there delivered." The value of the Orange-co harbor was illustrated by Bisby, who said: "A consignment of goods from anywhere in Riverside-co to any-point along our coast or to foreign ports can be loaded on the truck in the orchard or from the point of origin and delivered directly to the vessel from the truck at Newport Beach." In closing, the speaker thanked the Riverside people for the many encouraging remarks heard from that section on the harbor proposition. He also invited suggestions to the harbor commission in regard to developments that would be more beneficial to the interior communities. The other speaker of the evening was Nelson O. Rhoades of Los Angeles, who spoke on "Mexico and Foreign Trade. Their Bearing Upon Interior So. Ca." 1920 BREAKS RECORD FOR REGISTRATIONS Automobile registration in California for 1920 broke all records, and indicates a figure so high that it may stand for some time, as the greatest registration of the state. This is according to a report made public by State Superintendent Charles J. Chenu of the Motor Vehicle department. The registration for the year was 588,939 vehicles, which is 97,699 more vehicles than were registered in 1919. A significant feature of the registration this year is that it was 25,720 greater than the registration in New York in 1918. In 1919 California was third in the number of autos registered. New York being first with 563,219 and Ohio second with 516,275. Pennsylvania and Illinois were the last two of the nation's five states. This registration returned to the state $5,550,264.60 in fees, according to Chenu. There were 34,078 trucks registered, 2,522 trailers and 20,047 motorcycles. Chauffeurs to the number of 65,699 and 800,000 operators registered with the department. Altho the above is the registration for 1920, the final official figures may be changed slightly because fiscal year does not end until Jan. 31. "The Lure of Grooming Water," a story of a summer love and a sudden awakening, will be the feature at the New Fairland theatre tonight. Tomorrow night and Thursday Wallace Reid will be seen in "The Charm School." "Charley's Aunt From Brazil Where the Nuts Come From" will be the attraction at the New Grand theatre tonight, presented by the Trahern Players. It is just as funny as its name. Warehouse Space — Phone 158 TESTIMONY GIVEN IN LEASING CASE Civil suit to collect $150 damages brot by Mrs. Elizabeth Conklin, of the Meyer-apts, Santa Ana, against Mrs. Ora Snow, was being heard before Justice of the Peace Cox today. Mrs. Conklin alleged she leased the house at 416 French-st jointly with Mrs. Snow and that during her absence from the place last December Mrs. Snow removed Mrs. Conklin's furniture from the house and placed it in storage. This alleged action on the part of Mrs. Snow was the basis for the action brot by Mrs. Conklin. Attorneys for the defendant and plaintiff spent most of the morning session arguing the merits of the lease upon which the two women rented, the house from its owner. Mrs. Conklin testified that she gave her consent to Mrs. Snow to negotiate the lease and the document, presented as evidence, was signed only by Mrs. Snow. Counsel for Mrs. Snow contended that Mrs. Conklin was not actually a party to the contract and that she merely subleased part of the house to Mrs. Conklin. The attorney for Mrs. Conklin argued that she was a party to the agreement inasmuch as there was an oral understanding between the two women.
