NATIONAL ALUMINUM PRESSURE COOKER Now that the hot days of summer are here, methods for eliminating the heat and lightening the kitchen duties of the woman of the household are demanding attention. In this line George B. Peck is showing the National Aluminum Pressure Cooker. With this cooker the foods are prepared under steam pressure and by this method greater comfort is not-the only thing that is given the housekeeper but food bills are reduced and a saving is also made in fuel consumption. National pressure cookers are not an experiment. Hundreds of them are being used, and their merits explained by the home demonstration agents from the leading schools and universities in all parts of the U.S. Local Chaffee Store Leads All In County Some idea as to the growth and importance of Anaheim as a trading center is illustrated in the fact that the local Chaffee store ranks first of all the eight stores belonging to this organization in the county. E. A. Ramrella, manager of the Anaheim store, states that up until recently this store ranked sixth, but service, courteous salesmen and consistent newspaper advertising rapidly forced them up the ladder. —Try Plain Dealer Want Ads. —If It's from Witman's, It's Good!

Certainly no one hold any brief for the old-time corset of curves and many steels, but anyone at all interested in general waltze and good SHOWS INTEREST IN USE OF MALYBDNEUM Below is a portion of a lengthy article appearing in paper; throughout the country relative to the new molybdenum steel car: Readers of the Evening Express obtained their first and most complete information about the new Wills Sainte Claire eight in Los Angeles. In its makeup the car has created a furore of interest and in the introduction of revolutionary innovations in design and metallurgy it likewise has riveted the attention of the motor wise as well as the big engineers in the industry. But advanced as are the features of the car and the production units, probably none holds such interest and romance as the vast heat-treating plant, where a great battery of ovens secret the basic scientific qualities of the Wills eight. Here is where metals have undergone changes under the magic guidance of Mr. Wills, one of the world's greatest metallurgists, that write a new chapter in the history of the treatment of metals, advancements that attain a new standard in reduction of weight with greater strength and greater immunity to the elements of friction, heat and vibration. The result is molybdenum, a new alloy introduced by Mr. Wills, who incidentally fathered vanadium steel, now so well known to the world of metallic manufacture as a spectatular improvement over the type of steel that preceded it. And he firmly declares that molybdenum is just as far in advance of vanadium, because of its greater strength and lighter weight. Adhering to the insistent demand for lighter weight, yet with durability, Mr. Wills has produced a car of great power, exceptional balance and unusual riding comfort and performance that weighs, ready for the road, only 3000 pounds. This has been attained through the use of molybdenum practically throughout, accentuated by other inventions tending toward the same goal. There is scarcely an ounce of wood in the entire car, metals of light weight and strength being utilized nearly entirely. Even the wheels up of morals in the land are inclined to place a share of the responsibility on fashion and the uncorseted figure. Now, as a matter of fact, this like so many other absurd fads, was born of a mistake or misintrepretation, just as high heels came into vogue, for instance, as a result of Louis bootmaker's attempt to raise the stature of his diminutive patron, or, as flaring crinoline skirts came into fashion and were worn by thin and stout alike regardlessly, simply because Empress Eugenie desired to conceal the ugly lines of her figure. Paris introduced what she called a "corsetless" gown, but "corsetless" was merely a name and no more imitated that the figure should be uncorseted than that the "cuirass" waist should be fashioned of steel or that the "petal" skirts that have been so popular this season should be made of real flower petals; for a Paris dressmaker would no more fit a gown over an uncorseted figure than she would consider sending her favorite customer down the Bols of an afternoon clad in a morning gown. Lax women, however, of which there are an unusual number at this time, quick to grasp the sinister possibilities of the corsetless suggestion, seized upon it and deliberately set afloat propaganda involving the "uncorseted figure" in the "corsetless gown and so—though com- Mother's Day SUNDAY MAY 8th Do Not Forget your best friend on Earth. The sentiment of this day is very beautifully All Batteries Look Alike On the Outside "Getting right down to facts, it is what is inside the battery that counts," said C. H. West, manager of the battery department of the local Vesta Battery Station, giving a little advice to a group of motorists. "Batteries look pretty much alike on the outside, but unless the inside is made right you motorists are apt to have trouble. "One reason we are able to help you is because we can use the Vesta patented features in repairing any battery you happen to have. "You cannot take too good care of your battery, especially during the summer. We are always glad to inspect and test your battery without charge and you should have it done at least every two weeks. Better still, every ten days. With plenty of efficient help you will not be kept waiting and your battery will last longer, no matter what make, if properly cared for. "It is what is inside the box that counts," according to Mr. West, and this is a fact that some motorists overlook. "We of the Vesta family of course consider ourselves fortunate in having a battery that is right all the way through. Furthermore, the patented features inside the Vesta battery can be used in repairing other makes. That, I believe, is the underlying reason why so many motorists come to us with their battery troubles." The Anaheim Vesta Battery distributors, are at the corner of Los Angeles. At any rate, so argue the social workers, the fad, having, as might be said, its very inception in immorality—or shall we say, un morality, naturally suggests itself as a cause or effect of the wave of laxness that is sweeping over us. They decided that the suggestion was worth investigation and as a result the corse question has been turned inside out with the astonishing results to the corse's advantage. Certainly no one hold any brief for the old-time corse of curves and many steels, but anyone at all inter- inged in general waltze and good of the country must heave a sigh for the outward semblance of dignity and decorum that characterized those other days of corse. Modesty, surely is a worthy qualification and, just as surely, there is neither suggestion of modesty nor hint of beauty in the bulging unsplailliness of the uncorseted figures. Verily, to be or not to be corseted, has become, not a matter alone for the consideration of the individual preference, but a matter of national importance. It may not be that the moral health of a nation is dependent upon corse wearing, but surely the laxity that would discard the corse is significant. Of the valve in head design, the eight cylinder Wills Sainte Claire motor is of very neat construction, and the tremendous surge of power it produces hardly would be associated with the extreme degree of smoothness and quietness with which it performs. Camshafts, too, are overhead. As was first announced exclusively in the Los Angeles Evening Express, the Wills Sainte Claire eight will be distributed in California by the Western Motors Company, which operates branches in Los Angeles and San Francisco. The following is an excerpt from an article regarding frames made by the Parish Company, one of the large manufacturers of automobile and truck frames: The Parish Company obtained some molybdenum steel and made a number of automobile frames with it. Here are some of the tests these frames withstood: One 3-32-inch molybdenum steel frame, built on the same general dimensions as a corresponding carbon steel frame, weighed only 150 pounds or 90 pounds less than the carbon frame. Its strength was 80 per cent more than that of the carbon frame and its cost slightly less. Another molybdenum frame, constructed of 3-32-inch section, designed to carry a combined load of about 2400 lbs., was loaded with a concentrated load of 10,000 pounds and showed a deflection of two inches. After the removal of the weight it returned to within 1-32 of an inch of normal. This demonstrated that the molybdenum steel frame carries more than four times the weight it was designed to carry, and that with this 300 per cent increase over the normally required load the permanent change was negligible. An untreated carbon steel frame of 3-8-inch section was similarly loaded. It collapsed under a load of 9140 pounds. This seemed to indicate that a light section of molybde- Do Not Forget your best friend on Earth.

Standard Oil Co.—Standard A-3 was preparing to drill out the cement Thursday morning. A-7 stands cemented for the second time. A-8 was about 2600 feet deep on Thursday morning, and is looking like a big producer. Screen casings will be set in this hole and cement will be run in through slots made in the oil string above the screen casing. This will be done as a precaution against water breaking in after the well is producing. A-9 stands cemented at about 1960 feet. A-10 is drilling at 950 feet. B-2 stands cemented at about 2850 feet. B-3 also stands cemented at about 2140 feet. Bolsa 2 stands cemented but is about due to be drilled out. Bolsa 3 is still working for a water test. C-1 is setting the oil string at about 2500 feet. D-1 and E-1 on 23rd street, stand cemented at about 2000 feet. Torrance is still reaming. The hole is about 3250 feet deep. Surf was again put on the beam Sunday morning and produced at the rate of 100 barrels per day. On Thursday morning the well was not in operation, and it was not known just what the next step will be. The oil is so heavy that they have not been able to get a test on it, but it is thought to be about 10 or 11 gravity. This oil, though heavy, was found to be rich in paraffine. This is the only well drilling here, with the exception of A-4, to show paraffine. However, A-4 does not show much. Jones community is drilling at about 2600 feet. The Western Union well is a greater well than the Bolsa, which indicates that the heaviest production will be found in the north side, probably in materials at the present lower quotations. PRICE OF JORDAN TAKES BIG SLIDE Coming like a bombshell in the automotive industry, announcement was made today by the Jordan Motor Car Co., through J. E. Walter & Co., Orange-co distributors, of a drop from $600 to $900 in the price of six-cylinder Jordan cars, as compared to list prices in effect in September, 1920, when automobile prices hit the toboggan. Reduction in prices, according to the announcement, is due to the recovery of automobile sales, the working off of old inventory purchased at high prices and the replacement of materials at the present lower quotations. With a greatly reduced price, the Jordan factory believes it is justified in anticipating a greatly accelerated production, possibly 100 per cent above the present output, which is now normal. The Jordan organization believes that the great reduction will create one of the biggest sensations in the history of the industry and that a veritable avalanche of orders will result, considering the high quality and prestige of the Jordan Six and its remarkably new low price. As a result of the slide in prices the Jordan five-passenger model now is quoted at $2250 at the factory, as compared to $2850 in September, 1920.

The Western Union well is a greater well than the Bolsa, which indicates that the heaviest production will be found in the north side, probably increasing until the northern edge of the mesa is reached; and it would not be surprising if future developments prove that the apex of the field pressure is under the Huff property, leased to the Eddyatone Oil Corp., holders of the lease on the land where the Western Union well is located. The flow of this well Monday was equal to about $17 per acre for the land owners, and the regular production as it is flowing today runs close to $10 per acre per day. Union Oil Co.—The Copeland well continuesto improve and while Supt. K. A. Hoxey states there is no definite way of knowing just what the well is making, as the oil has not been run into tanks, he does not believe the output is much over 200 barrels, although it might be. Others are inclined to think the flow is close to 300 barrels. This well also drilled itself in, although more gradually than did the Western Union, and there are good reasons to believe that this well may be flowing almost as much as the Western Union in a short time. The first oil that flowed from this well tested only .16 gravity, but now it is running .19 or better, which is worth $1.61 at the well, making the flow of this well worth close to $500 daily, of which the land owners receive one-sixth. The lease where this well is drilled is the first one to produce oil where most of the acreage is owned by Huntington Beach men. Joseph Vavra, proprietor of the Huntington Beach Nurseries, holds title to eight acres of this valuable domain; Judge Louis A. Copeland, C. E. Lavering, of the First National Bank, and Kyle Howard, realty broker, own 6 1-2 acres jointly; C. D. Warner, who resides on Tract 76 of the lease, just cast of the big Western Union gusher; T. B. Talbert, chairman board of supervisors, and J. K. McDonald, of Talbert & Co., three acres, jointly; James J. Conrad, editor Huntington Beach News, ten acres. The other 15 acres are owned by J. H. Dilligno of above the present output, which is now normal. The Jordan organization believes that the great reduction will create one of the biggest sensations in the history of the industry and that a veritable avalanche of orders will result, considering the high quality and prestige of the Jordan Six and its remarkably new low price. As a result of the slide in prices the Jordan five-passenger model now is quoted at $2250 at the factory, as compared to $2850 in September, 1920. Inclosed car prices have taken an even bigger drop, which presages a lively demand for the all-year types.

FORMER RESIDENT SUCCUMBS Word has been received here of the death of Mrs. Gus Davis, a former well known Anaheim resident which occurred Friday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Jacobson, in Los Angeles. Mrs. Davis has been in failing health for some time, but the immediate cause of her death was pneumonia, from which she had been suffering for the past week. Mr. Davis was one of the pioneer merchants of Anaheim and conducted a flourishing business here for a number of years. Since his death several years ago Mrs. Davis has made her home with her daughter, Mrs. Jacobson. Funeral services were held on Sunday, in charge of Dr. Hecht, and interment was made in the Home of Peace cemetery. Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
