This Paper Accepts All Advertising on the Understanding that Its Circulation Equals Any Three Others In This Field. VOL. XXIV—No. 166 S. P. PASSENGER Tourists Swarm to Our Alcohol Gone, Now Rid Its "Whelps," Demands Hobson Says Man Who Lives Clean, Wholesome Life Is One Who Carries on Work of World. "The man who is chaste, the man who lives a clean wholesome life and not, as is popularly supposed, the man who drags himself thru the mire, carries on the work of the world," Captain Richard P. Hobson, hero of the Merrimac, declared last night in an address at the Fullerton high school auditorium, appealing for the health and happiness not only of the contemporary generation but of generations yet unborn. "We have rid our country of alcohol. Now let us rid it of alcohol's whelps—the vice diseases. When Egypt, Babylon, Carthage, Greece and Rome degenerated in alcoholic and moral degeneration they fell, because there was never anything more true than that the wages of sin are death. Parents, bring up your boys to live clean lives. Don't let them contaminate themselves." Between 3000 and 4000 Attracted by Sunshine Between 3000 and 4000 were gathered at Orange-co park today for the first Orange-co Auto Tourists' picnic. It was estimated at noon there were between 700 and 800 autos parked inside or near the park. The ideal weather and the fact it was a holiday attracted so many that the 100 gallons of coffee which had been provided free, with cream and sugar, were not sufficient to meet the demand. There was an hour's speechmaking with Freeman H. Bloodgood who declared to the assembled tourists that if they harried here as he, once a tourist had done, they would be convinced the same as he—that Orange county is not only the best county in California but the best in the United States. Everett H. White, president of the Santa Ana Realty Board, delivered an address of welcome. Walter Biddick, secretary of the Orange-co Auto Trades Assn., spoke on the good will always evident in Orange co.

When Egypt, Babylon, Carthage, Greece and Rome degenerated in alcoholic and moral degeneration they fell, because there was never anything more true than that the wages of sin are death. Parents bring up your boys to live clean lives. Don't let them contaminate themselves." Then with one eloquent blow Captain Hobson swept thru to the root of the evil: "They tell your boy he has to beemirch, his soul in vice to become a man. They tell him it is manly to tread the primrose path for a season—yes, and that it is necessary to good health. The issue is clouded in lies until he wins at the name of virtue, if applied to himself, because it sounds to him as an intimation that he is a slay, whereas it takes more genuine courage for a man to live chaste, then it does to live unchaste, and who is there that can say courage is not mannificent! There was never a worse lie uttered than that a man is not a man until he debanches himself, or that debauchery tends towards health. Exactly the opposite is true, and for the sake of the human race give your boy the truth." There were moths in the audience who went thruncut Captain Hobson's address as the Captain went on to prove by statistics from the U.S. public health department that 75 percent of the adult males in the city of New York are infected with vice diseases. "The rural districts of America fall below this percentage but this is a good average for American cities." Captain Hobson declared. "What percentage of our boys who were taken into the army were infected?" Inquired a man from the audience. Captain Hobson blushed at the answer he was forced to give, and evaded the real answer which runs above two-thirds, according to statistics from the war department, by saying: "A deplorably large number. You know many thousands were turned away for this reason." Then the captain quoted figures to show that 8,000,000 men in the United States are infected with syphilis, and hundreds of thousands of others with other vice diseases. Ninety per cent of these in the past have been contracted by those addicted to alcoholic beverages, which Capt. Hobson declared, shows the close relationship between alcohol and vice. Like everything else vice is governed by the law of supply and demand." Captain Hobson said. "The supply represents the moral degenerate commonly known as the sex pervert, and the good woman who has gone wrong. The demand also represents the sex pervert, and the good woman who has not had the clared to the assembled tourists that if they harried here as he, once a tourist had done, they would be convinced the same as he—that Orange county is not only the best county in California but the best in the United States. Everett H. White, president of the Santa Ana Realty Board, delivered an address of welcome. Walter Bliddick, secretary of the Orange-co Auto Trades Assn., spoke on the good will always evident in Orange co. This afternoon there was dancing in the pavilion and an impromptu program of sports and athletic contests. SKYLIGHT BURGLARS ROB COVINA STORE Burglaries who evidently were seeking new outfits of clothing broke into the store of the Covina Dry Goods Co., Citrus Ave., in Covina, early day and escaped with clothing valued at several hundred dollars. The burglar climbed to the roof of the store, shattered the glass of a skylight and then lowered themselves into the store. Stocks of merchandise were scattered about the store by the looters in their search for wearing apparel. S.F. FERRIES COLLIDE; HUNDREDS PERILED SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 12.—The Southern Pacific ferries Oakland and Piedmont, running between the Oakland mole and San Francisco, collided in midbay shortly before 8 o'clock this morning. No one was hurt and neither boat was seriously damaged. The bow of the Oakland was badly battered and the walking beam of the Piedmont was reported temporarily out of commission, both boats were able to continue under their own power. Owing to the heavy fog in which the collision occurred bay ferry steamers were running on half schedule with the result that double the usual number of passengers were aboard. They were badly frightened, but officials of the company said there was no actual panic. The Piedmont, it was understood, will be sent to a shipyard for repairs. The Oakland had just ben overhauled at heavy expense and had been on the run only two weeks. SEEK COMPROMISE ON INDEMNITY DEMANDS BERLIN, Feb. 12.—"We are going to London not to accept allies' dictation but to make an offer which will not be a small one either," declared Minister of Finance Wirth in speech before the Breemen C. of C dealing with German indemnity, according to advices from Breiman today. The finance minister was quoted further as saying: "For the purpose of carrying out our offer there must be the most complete reorganization of labor in explanation as to what was not being used conceded that genera was specified in such County Engineer-respond to an invitation but a letter from him ed by C.I.

"The supply represents the moral degenerate commonly known as the sex pervert, and the good woman who has gone wrong. The demand also represents the sex pervert, and the boy or man who has not had the proper bringing up!" He touched lightly on the white slave traffic as he discovered it while searching for the truth about alcohol but devoted the greater part of his time to social hygiene insofar as this is a question that the American people must face if they are not to become a race of degenerates, and go the way of Babylon, as he put it. "Foremost, the place to start the remedy is in the home, for by proper guidance here it may be prevented. If you do not give your child the proper instruction and guidance in the home and then he or she falls after leaving the protection of the home on whose head are their sins?" "Second, let us rid ourselves of the sex pervert. Let us erect isolation institutions for them as for other diseased persons, for it is a disease. But first let us find out who they are. They will often be found in our high schools. There have been instances of sex perverts in our high schools who have contaminated as many as 12 high school boys before being found out. They may be in society. Wherever they are help your marital and your public health officer to locate them, for they are more deadly to your community than a leper." "Then, let us establish social hygiene departments in our high schools that our boys and girls may be given the proper education on social hygiene. The greater per cent of the present day moral degeneration is due to ignorance. Self preservation is the first law of nature, you know, and when boys learn that to sow wild oats in this manner is to court death surely they will hesitate at debauching themselves." "Of all animal species the human race is the most perverting.

Supervisor Wm. Schumacher told Anaheim C. of C. directors last night that Steele Finley, contractor, who is laying nine miles of paving west of Anaheim, was living up to the contract which calls for creek gravel. C. of C. directors had requested an explanation as to why crushed rock was not being used. Schumacher conceded that generally crushed rock was specified in such work. County Engineer McBride did not respond to an invitation to attend, but a letter from him was presented by C. I. Wilkinson, of Wilkinson & Ruebel, chemists and engineers. In the letter, McBride stated that he had made some inquiries and had been told creek gravel was as servicable as crushed rock. There were also letters read from other contractors in which the statement was made that the writers had HUNT FOR AVIATOR MISSING TWO DAYS SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Feb. 12.—Scout planes from Kelly field were combing southern Texas today in an effort to locate Lieut.

SCORES ENTER 1ST HEAD PIN TOURNEY Everything was lined up most satisfactorily today for the first Head Pin Tournament ever held on the Pacific coast at the Anaheim bowling alleys from 10 a.m. to midnight Sunday.

Varner $1; Bill KarROBERTS OPPOSES ACTION OF COUNCIL FOR ALLEY PAVING Says He Pays $1000 Taxes Here New and City Should Pay for Improvement. Theodore Roberts, leading taxpayer and constructor of business building in Anaheim, today announced he would oppose the action of the city council to force him to pay for the paving of an alley adjoining his property north of Center-st, between Lemon and Clementine-sts. "I consider it unfair to attempt to force me to pay for this paving and will fight it," declared Roberts. "I have added a great deal to the assessed valuation of the city, not only thru the building I have doné personally but that I have encouraged others to do and to the increased value of property adjoining all this new construction. Lots-I sold two years ago have doubled. I am paying $1000 in city taxes, besides county taxes, and I think the city should pay for the alley paving, since it will benefit the city in general." explanation as to why crushed rock was not being used. Schumacher conceded that generally crushed rock was specified in such work. County Engineer McBride did not respond to an invitation to attend, but a letter from him was presented by C. I. Wilkinson, of Wilkinson & Ruebel, chemists and engineers. In the letter, McBride stated that he had made some inquiries and had been told creek gravel was as serviceable as crushed rock. There were also letters read from other contractors in which the statement was made that the writers had not been aware serviceable creek gravel was available in Orange-co. Of the five contractors, all but Finley had bid on crushed rock and were considerably higher than Finley. There was displayed to C. of C. directors a sample of the creek gravel being used by Finley and it was stated a chemical analysis had shown 20 pct dirt and some vegetable matter. Secretary Malcom Fraser reported on the state convention of commercial organization secretaries. He stated he had heard both sides presented in the corporation tax controversy but that it seemed to be the concensus of opinion that increasing tax on corporations should be avoided as the tax would be merely passed onto the consumer. He said there seemed to be considerable sentiment for a tax on gasoline and oil as the equitable way to raise funds for maintenance of roads, since those using the roads most would be paying the most. The plans for the Cal. Valencin show were outlined for presentation to the general C. of C. meeting Monday at Fisher's hall. Managers W. H. Schureman of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Assn., and J. H.

RAILWAY WORKERS MAY ACCEPT CUTS CHICAGO, Feb. 12—Modification AUBREY MATTHEWS NARROWLY ESCAPES DEATH IN SMASHUP Woman Who Was in Southgate Inferno Few Weeks Ago Becomes Hysterical. Aubrey Matthews, an employee of the Stroup' Meat Market, escaped death by a miracle yesterday evening. When going home from work his Bulck touring car was smashed into by the S. P. motor passenger car from Los Angeles at the Broadway crossing in West Anaheim near the brewery. Matthews' car was hurled about 30 feet, practically demolishing it. Matthews escaped without a scratch, crawling out from underneath the wreckage as soon as he discovered he was not hurt. In describing the accident today, Mr. Matthews said: "There is not much to tell. I was going home and was crossing the tracks when I felt something bump into my car from the rear.
