His fame as a writer is wide-spread throughout the land. It is not so well known that he is a remarkable interviewer of great men. There are few great personages of the last decade who have not honored him with something of their confidence; Roosevelt in the wilds of Arizona, Goethals in the heart of the Canal Zone, Woodrow Wilson on the porch at Sea Girt, the silent Colonel House, and mysterious Generals like Wood and Admirals like Sims and Rodman and Fiske. Macfarlane is an intensely interesting speaker. Fullerton Briefs H. F. Dierker went to the city today on business. H. B. Thurber went to Santa Ana REPORT MUTINY SHIP MISSING LOS ANGELES, April 9—All efforts to reach her by wireless having failed, the freighter Willhilo, which was reported to be nearing Los Angeles harbor under tension. New York Letter by Lucy Jeanne Price NEW YORK, April 9.—There’s nothing like the right sort of background! New York has been feeling lately that it has just about had all it could stand in the way of divorces and scandals generally. But along comes a man who sees the cheering side of the shadows. He was so impressed that he sat down and wrote to one of the evening papers as follows: “Sir: Have been reading some of the recent divorce serials and have decided that I can’t such a bad guy after all.” Wall street and its immediate environs may be the real financial district of this city, but there is no little speculation in foreign exchange going on right on Times Square, where one doesn’t expect to find anything but theatre tickets to buy. And Times Square has introduced the new idea of buying money on the installment plan, which is unusual, to put it mildly, Austrian kronen, German marks, Russian rubles, and other coins and paper moneys and securities of foreign countries are being sold in one corner store on a basis of $10,000 for $25 down” and weekly payments thereafter. The placard advising investment in thousands of Russian rubles ends with this hopeful remark, “Bolshevism can’t last forever.” “A Man about Town,” which precedes Drinkwater’s “Mary Stuart” recently opened at the Ritz theatre, is a pantomime which was originally developed within the precincts of the Amateur Comedy club. It is an attempt to apply a very old art to the comedy inherent in our present day life, for the pantomime shows the afternoon o fa modern New York. W. L. Hinton, an automobile accessory man manufacturer of Deatur, Ill., was in town this week. Mr. Hinton was formerly a “chain store” groced in his home town. But he’s off groceries for life. Fullerton Briefs H. F. Dierker went to the city today on business. H. B. Thurber went to Santa Ana today on business. The arrival of a daughter, their first-born, was an event of prime importance in the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. R. McWilliams, 128 West Brookdale ave., Wednesday morning. W. E. Hearst and wife of Bea will leave tonight over the Santa Fe for points in Nebraska on a two months' vacation. The Intermediate Endeavor Society of the First Christian church of Fullerton held a meeting in the parlor of the church last night. A good program was rendered and refreshments were served. The usual weekly story hour for the children was observed at the public library this afternoon from 2 to 3 o'clock. Miss Faye Kern was in charge as usual. The Knights of Pythias gathered for their regular session Thursday night, a fair attendance of the members being recorded. There was nothing in the way of ritualistic work going on, but they counted it a good meeting just the same in point of interest displayed in the affairs of the fraternity. RELIEF CORPS NO. 131 MEETS Malvern Hill Relief Corps No. 131 met in regular session Thursday night with a good attendance, this being the first meeting since organization. Four new members were added and other applications read. Meetings will be held on the first and third Thursday of each month at 2 o'clock in Odd Fellows hall. All visiting members are cordially invited to attend. SWISS ACT TO EXPELL CHARLES PARIS, April 9.—The Swiss Federation has decided to expel ex-Emperor of Austria from Switzerland, says a Geneva dispatch) to the Echo de Paris. UNFILLED U. S. STEEL TONNAGE NEW YORK, April 9.—The United States Steel Corp., today announced a decrease of 649,102 tons in its unfilled steel tonnage for March. The unfilled tonnage on March 31 totaled 6,284,765, compared with 6,933,867 on Feb. 28, 7,573,164 on Jan. 31 and 9,982,075 on March 31, 1920. REPORT MUTINY SHIP MISSING LOS ANGELES, April 9.—All efforts to reach her by wireless having failed, the freighter Willhilo, which was reported to be nearing Los Angeles harbor under convoy of the United States steamship Tacoma following a mutiny of her crew off the coast of Salvador, was mysteriously missing today. Naval radio stations sent out messages to the Willhilo and the Tacoma during the night, which were unsanwered. At the local offices of the Williams line it was stated no confirmation of the mutiny report had been received and that efforts to locate the Willhilo had been unsuccessful. The freighter was due in Los Angeles harbor April 1 from New York. It carries 500 tons of steel and general merchandise for delivery in So Calif. HOT CHARGES IN DIVORCE SAN DIEGO, April 9.—Margaret Tregellea, petite actress, who is suing her husband, Capt. John A. Tregellea, for divorce here, alleging that his love was stolen by Mrs. Bertha Shute, of Hollywood told how she found dainty bits of woman's apparel among her husband's belongings. Tregellea is pressing a counter suit. LOCAL AND PERSONAL Mr. and Mrs. C. L.

Orpheus Four at Chautauqua Winners of the San Francisco Exposition Gold Medal and Said to Be America's Best Quartet. W.L. Hinton, an automobile accessory man manufacturer of Decatur, Ill., was in town this week. Mr. Hinton was formerly a "chain store" groced in his home town. But he's off groceries for life. "I used to ship carloads of barreled fresh vegetables, home-made elder vinegar, pickles and potatoes to the Waldorf-Astoria," said Mr. Hinton. "People in those days demanded their food in fresh, prime condition, and bought the food. A well kept grocery of that period was a delight, with its fresh, bulk goods. The average grocer today is nearer a druggist. He hands you a capsul of crackers, a piece of art containing specimens of coffee, a pretty little thing something bearing a Pullman car name and the allegation that it contains something for breakfast, and a bewitching pair of pickles bottled in and sealed. And my, how the stuff costs! Farmers are quitting their gardens. Garden stuff would soil grocers hands. And they must be sold when they're ripe. We take a look thru the Tuesday Evening Boast colored ads, and go to the delicatessen for our dressed up eats. And bless your dear heart, we pay." Convinced of the strong influence of "mine own people," the national board of the Young Women's Christian Assin has chosen true, thorough-bred American Indian girls to lead the organization's work among the people of that race. The success of the idea has already been proven by Miss Ella Delorin, daughter of a Sioux chief, of Standing Rock, South Dakota, who has left for the Pacific coast to give a series of talks on recreational and other branches of Y.Work. Miss Delorin, who was graduated from Columbia university in 1915, has been physical director in All Saints' school, at Sioux Falls, S.D., since her graduation. It may seem a bit like carrying coals to Newcastle for what was primarily a city organization to go out and give physical training to Indian girls, but it has worked splendidly. Miss Deloria assisted in putting on a pageant at an Indian gathering last year, which she wrote and directed, telling the history of her tribe, and she is planning to do more work of that kind. Another Indian girl recently added to the Y.Works is Susie Meek, who had been trained by the Friends, but whom they could not emplo ya sa worker because their rules insist upon married workers and Susie is as yet unattached. She explained frankly that after she was married she might prefer to stay at home and take care of her husband and home and babies and so she'd better go where they could Orpheus Four at Chautauqua Winners of the San Francisco Exposition Gold Medal and Said to Be America's Best Quartet. Loyers of male quartet singing—and all the world seems to love it—have a genuine "musical feast" coming in the two Chautauqua concerts by the Orpheus Four on the third day. The Orpheus Four is generally acknowledged to be the foremost male quartet in America. It is the official quartet of the Orpheus Club in Los Angeles and was the winner of the International Grand Prize of $3,000 and the gold medal at the Panama-Pacific Exposition. Probably no singing organization is in greater demand the country over than the Orpheus Quartet. Every voice is a solo voice and their ensemble work is truly remarkable.

Glass pistols / are New Yorkers' latest protection against hold-ups. The law prevents them carrying firearms unless they have a permit. To a lot of people the obtaining of a permit for anything looks like a tremendous fuss and bother; a good many more don't know how to go about getting a permit, nor indeed that they are obtainable at all. And another group is more afraid of a gun than of a gunman. So the glass pistol has become the solution. Like near-beer it looks real and feels real, but it hasn't any kick. It does have the "authority," though, that the near-beer lacks, just so long as the thugs don't get on to it. A good dozen men in the city are already crediting themselves with one nick in the glass—one "stick-up" man scared off with the flashing of the glass pistol. The list of actors to appear in the screen version of that great old melodrama, "Jim, the Penman," certainly sound like proof of the principle of heredity. There are Lionel Barrymore, eldest son of Maurice and Georgia Drew Barrymore; Doris Rankin's sister, and Charles Coghlan, nephew of the great actor of the same name. It is a gathering of a true aristocracy of the stage. And now, after wearing choker collars in order to have something to which to fasten the straps that held on one's evening gown—since there was nothing over the shoulders to do it now, the novelty seekers among the customers have produced the frock with no sleeves at all except cuffs, yes, cuffs, way down around your wrists, held to the shoulders by two delicate strips of material. Yes, EDITORIAL DAILY GREETING TO READERS Who shall compare love's mean and gross desire To the chaste zeal of friendship's sacred fire? Love is a sudden blaze which soon decays; Friendship is like the sun's eternal rays; Not daily benefits exhaust the flame, it still is giving, and still burns the same. Gay. THE UNITED STATES is beginning to have that economically adjusted feeling. PERHAPS, Mr. Harding became impressed with this harmony idea when he was a member of the village band. WAR IS the greatest of curses. Yet, strangely enough, it sometimes must be evoked in a righteous cause. THE GREATEST of men, sooner or later, find that they are not indispensable—that the world can get along without them. THE MERIT rule should be extended to include every position in federal government service to which it practically may be applied. THIS GOVERNMENT ever should rest upon the sure foundation of a citizenship of enlightment and tolerance, devoid of ignorance, bigotry and prejudice. THE AMERICAN farmer is not a quitter. Because he had one bad year he will not default in his duty to raise an immense crop this year, to feed America and to help feed the rest of the world. OHIO HAS mothered seven presidents and Virginia eight—but Ohio is younger than Virginia, let it be remembered. Virginia had mothered two presidents before Ohio, as a state, was born. PLEADING FOR ECONOMY IN GOVERNMENT. Rigid economy in governmental expenditures and immediate establishment of a national budget system are urged by Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, in his first official statement. Mr. Mellon himself is a financier, and has kept in close touch with general financial business and industrial conditions. That which he recommends for the government—close economizing—he no doubt would urge just as strongly upon the individual in his private affairs. Secretary Mellon appeals to the people to use their influence to bring about rigorous retrenchment in government outlays. The road to retrenchment should be traveled well, both by government and people. Efficient, but economical, administration of government is what the people desire and should have. The people, on their part, should be exemplars to the government. In their private affairs they should not be extravagant and wasteful. There should be a wise general husbanding of resources among the people and by the government. This should not run niggardly, parsimonious extreme. But it should be sufficiently pronounced to have appreciable effect and influence upon the economic life of the nation. MR. HARDING IS TO PLAY SOME EVERY DAY. "All work and no play," soon would break down a man even as vigorous as is President Harding. To keep himself physically fit and mentally alert, Mr. Harding is resolved to have some play in the outdoors every day. Golf is his favorite game. It is the president's purpose so to arrange his time and work that he can give an hour or two daily to this wholesome, healthful pastime. Conservation of health and strength of the president is of superlative importance. The man in the white house is the servant of all the people. He, in a very intimate THE AMERICAN farmer is not a quitter. Because he had one bad year he will not default in his duty to raise an immense crop this year, to feed America and to help feed the rest of the world. OHIO HAS mothered seven presidents and Virginia eight—but Ohio is younger than Virginia, let it be remembered. Virginia had mothered two presidents before Ohio, as a state, was born. IF THE parlor lamp could tell all it knows, it would predict a big crop of June brides, this year. A great many ardent couples are making all the arrangements—so the parlor lamp says, in a burst of confidence. THE UNITED STATES government needs a budget system. There cannot be the co-ordination of appropriations and the business-like economics that should be, until a practicable budget system has been adopted. ALL THAT the United States asks of Mexico is that it cease murdering Americans and confiscating their properties, and that it give American citizens in Mexico the same square deal that Mexicans get in the United States. CALIFORNIA has strong claims to representation in the membership of the federal shipping board. With these claims cogently presented to President Harding, there is reason to hope and to believe that he will appoint a Californian, and not give two places on the board to the Pacific northwest. It is generally agreed that former Senator Chamberlain will be appointed, and his appointment will be pleasing to California and the whole coast. But this state feels that one of its sons should have the other appointment which is allocated to the Pacific west. A Want Ad in the Plain Dealer will bring results. Job Printing at the Plain Dealer.
