THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER An Independent Newspaper, Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday R. W. ERNEST, Manager PAUL V. HESTER, Editor Subscription rate—In No. Orange-co; Per year, $2; six months, $1.25. Entered at the Postoffice at Anaheim, Calif., as second class matter. OIL THE KEY PRODUCT The world's supplies of petroleum are today everywhere attracting the attention and serious consideration of governments and industry. The continued source of supply and control of that supply, the vastly increasing demand for liquid fuel as the motive power for transportation of all kinds by land or water, from the humble car now owned by the average citizen to the latest type of bottling bunkering to 1,300,000 gallons, for power and lubrication in the world's factories, for lighting purposes and for the surfacing of the enormous road mileage which must be maintained to meet conditions of modern mechanical transport, are questions of vital interest throughout the world. The U.S. is the greatest oil producing nation in the world and is it essential that we remain in this position, as we are the greatest users of oil per capita of any people. To do this American oil producers must receive the cooperation of our government in regard to development of both domestic and foreign problems. THE BIG THREE. The country banker, the country newspaper and the country doctor are three pillars of stability necessary to any community. The country banker is no longer merely a money loaner. The act of loaning the money is today almost a side issue compared to the problems a banker must help his customers solve, before a decision to borrow or loan money is made. Much is expected of the banker and if he fails the wrath of the community knows no bounds. Money is needed to develop the resources of the country and the bank is looked to as the source from which help must come. Bankers realize today that community and farm development rest largely on industrial development and stability and any agitation or conditions which threaten this stability and automatically undermine well represented on the liner Adriatic which has just sailed for Cherbourg and Southampton. John Gasliworthy, who always drops in and out of town and of America with as little announcement as possible; Mmle Alice Delysia, the fetching French musical comedy star who has been on Broadway this whole season; John Drinkwater, the playwright; Theda Bara, who needs no description; Count Francis Pulaski, Polish Minister Plenopotentiary to Washington, and the Countess Pulaski, were among the notable passengers. "American business is getting back on its feet by "going to it," said H. C. Osborn, of Cleveland, president of the American Multigraph Sales Co., in an interview here. Our own business is a reliable barometer of general conditions which, from long experience, we have learned to read with surprising accuracy. It used to be the custom to slow up on advertising and sales effort if business began to slacken. Business folk are getting away from that idea. They are going after business hardest when they need it most. In periods of depression we always experience three conditions. When business first begins to slacken and sales effort is increased our orders begin to mount. Then, if things go from bad to worse and this effort proves futile, our demand dwindles quickly. Finally when things begin to look up again we have another rush. We are in this second rush now. In the first three months of this year our sales, domestic and foreign, were only 16.6 pct. behind those of the same period in 1920, and 5% pct. in excess of these months in 1919. This demand was from all sources. Right now it is being accelerated by the threatened nation-wide printers' strike. Concerns who appreciate the adaptability of our equipment are insuring their printing needs by installing it in advance of the break. Several national publications are planning to use multigraphs in getting out their issues." New York has a difficult time liv- New York Letter by Lutg Jeanne Price NEW YORK, April 18—St. Paul's churchyard, hammed in by skyscrapers and shaken by the djn of the elevated and Broadway traffic, and grace by only three large trees, is the home of as many birds and more varieties of them than almost any country orchard you will find. They are all busy now rebuilding their own houses and experts have counted 40 species among 228 winged creatures who have flown home from the south. To reach St. Paul's, the birds in their northern passage must fly across the water to this island which looks like a mass of solid stone to the ferry passenger, yet they come and nest year after year in that small patch of greenery and peace.

Never before, undoubtedly, have women made such desperate attempts to remain young—and such successful ones. Matrona of 40 and over are perfect unblushing and innocent-eyed in their specifications for "something simple and girlish" when they shop for frocks. The fashionals of the day recognize that their sole excuse is youth. This attitude is particularly reflected in the demands made upon hats. Under the slogan "Your hat is the age of your hat," Peggy Hoyt, Fifth ave.'s most exclusive costumer, has established millinery as an equal The American Fruit Growers Inc. of California is the W division of the A.

Another tradition has been shot to pieces. The country at large has been fed for many years with thrilling stories and mystery centered around "New York's great east side." The haven of criminals and the locale of violent deeds has been the general conception of the district, not only out around the banks of the Mississippi, but here in New York city, itself. Now along come the mere facts and show that there are fewer crimes committed in this section than in any other part of Manhattan. So little crime, indeed, that two east side police precincts have just been abandoned as unnecessary. And now Irving Berlin is to be a theatre owner. He and Sam H. Harris are building the Music Box on W. Forty-fifth-st. The popular song writer is so entranced over the idea that he probably never will get around to do song-writing again. He spends a large part of his waking hours nowadays walking around it, admiring the facade and taking his friends for personally conducted tours thru as much of it as is already up.
