NEW YORK, June 1.—For the first time since New York can remember the details of its life, the belongings of one of its socially and financially prominent families are to be sold to the tune of "Going, Going, Gone!" None less than the William K. Vanderbilt furniture, it is said, is to go under the hammer. The mansion on Fifth Avenue, which Mrs. William K. is about to abandon for her new home in the renovated square on the East River, holds furnishings so massive that it has been deemed impracticable to take them to the new home, and so one entire floor of things is to be disposed of at one fell swoop. They belong to that part of the home which is a perfect reproduction of the wing of a famous French chateau, and the furnishings are of tremendous value. Henry Jason is a conservative, law abiding, prudent, commuter who crosses from the Jersey side six days a week to his broking job in the Wall street district. So conservative is Mr. Jason that he carries his lunch each day because he "likes to know what he is eating," and prefers the cooking of his own. His catastrophe came on one of the early days of the new state prohibition enforcement law. Just as he reached the sidewalk from the subway at his regular hour of 8:55 a.m., a policeman spied the bulge of the bottle on his hip in which Mr. Jason carries his luncheon refreshment. Up he stepped with speed and tapped that bulging spot none too gently with his stick. Breaking glass, and the outpouring of Mr. Jason's pint of certified milk! "It wasn't that I minded the loss of the milk to any degree," said the law-respecting Mr. Jason afterwards, "but I had to go way back to New Jersey to change by suit. It was quilty ruined." Statistics have a fatal fascination for some people; especially statistics of foolish things in huge quantities. The Writer's Club is planting a tree in Washington Square as a memorial to Alan Seeger, the young american poet, killed in action while serving with the Foreign Legion during the world war. Seeger, who is particularly famous for his poem "I have a Rendezvous with Death," was was the first American writer to be killed in the war. Dr. Percy Slickney Grant, bachelor rector of the Church of the Ascension, has been one of the active almost radical—supporters of free speech in the country. So active in fact—and so radical—that he has received rebukes from his bishop. The other night he suffered from efforts to suppress such freedom as violently as though he had been the tyrant over freedom all of his career. For a 10-day old baby was dropped on the rector's doorstep. It seemed to be a baby with a grievance, and there was no one in the bachelor household to look after it but the rector himself. So all night long he robe and slippers, he walked the floor while the baby wailed. He was soon walking when some of his parish came to his rescue in the morning. Special Deputy Police Commissioner John A. Harris, who invented the traffic towers on Fifth Avenue, joined the police department in 1913 at a salary of $1 a year. Recently, having served three years, he demanded his pay. Commissioner Enright, according to his own story, always ready to save money for the department, found that one of the Traffic division's lights was not working one evening on the avenue, so he fined Dr. Harris five years' pay. Consequently the Special Deputy Commissioner still has two years to work for the city for nothing. A screen version of "Romeo and Juliet" is to be made by the new motion picture company, headed by John Golden and Joseph Schenck. Hale Hamilton and Grace La Rue will have the roles of the fate-crossed lovers. The new producing partnership is planning to specialize in film dramas of the classics, Shakespearian comedies and tragedies among other things. A rumor about the starring of David, Warfield in "The Merchant of Venice" has been a hardy annual for solves on the steps for the photographers. "Silver Threads Amble tinkled above the subway Broadway train the old sengers put down their craned their necks around were standing on their interested effort to soil of the tune. Down at our car an old man had a graph on his knees. He on another record who spoke to him." What's being initiated into so old man smiled sereneing the time. No law there?

"It wasn't that I minded the loss of the milk to any degree," said the law-respecting Mr. Jason afterwards, "but I had to go way back to New Jersey to change by suit. It was quite ruined." Statistics have a fatal fascination for some people; especially statistics of foolish things in huge quantities. Therefore an enterprising computer has demonstrated that the French pastry baked each year in the kitchens of leading New York hotels would roof a building covering two and a half city blocks. And to haul the toilet and laundry soaps used by five hotels would take a procession of half ton trucks almost three miles long. Truly, they give the figures proving all that. It's true. The Manhattan Opera House is going to be generous—U.S. government or no U.S. government. The people are to be befriended along the line of opera if nothing else. The company first announced that the public need pay no tax for the current production of "The Three Guardsmen;" the theatre would pay it. And all the nice pink tickets were printed in words to that effect. But up spoke the U.S. government and said "It can't be done." The people must pay their own tax whether or no. So now the little tickets have all had to be reprinted; and where they once said, "Two dollars. No tax," they have been forced to say, "$1.82; tax 18 cents." A screen version of "Romeo and Juliet" is to be made by the new motion picture company, headed by John Golden and Joseph Schenck. Hale Hamilton and Grace La Rue will have the roles of the fate-crossed lovers. The new producing partnership is planning to specialize in film dramas of the classics, Shakespearean comedies and tragedies among other things. A rumor about the starring of David, Warfield in "The Merchant of Venice" has been a hardy annual for years, but there now appears to be some ground for the belief that Mr. Warfield's long-awaited portrayal of Shylock will actually reach the stage next season. At all events he is carrying around a copy of the play these days and is unquestionably studying the role. Moreover he has discussed the characterization with friends. Hopeful signs. When 500 New York Chinese marched to the City Hall the other day in celebration of the reimaguration of Sun Yat Set as president of China, there could be little remaining doubt that the days of the old-time Chinatown were past. Gone was the baggy blouse, vanished as completely as the pigtail. Correct American attire garbed every marcher; brightly decorated limousines had no small place in the line; when "The Star Spangled Banner" was played, the marchers' hats came off even more promptly than did those of many American onlookers; and to cap the American atmosphere completely, when the city hall was reached the whole 500 grouped them- The Lots Are Selling Fast Prices advance on or before June 6th For a Few Days Only For a Few Days Only Buys a lot in our tract leased to the great Standard Oil Company For One Sixth Royalty They must start drilling the first well on or before October 28th or forfeit their lease.

Passengers put down their papers and craned their necks around those who were standing on their toes, in an interested effort to solve the source of the tune. Down at one end of the car an old man had a small phonograph on his knees. He was putting on another record when the guard spoke to him: "What's the idea? You being initiated into something." The guard didn't think of any, but he looked worried as he went back to his post. There’s a regular little managerie in every big New York hotel. Just to satisfy my curiosity, I took an inventory of the pets of the guests here last night," one manager said. "This is the list: Forty-three dogs, nine cats, 29 small birds, four parrots, two doves, four white mice, four mormasets, one snake, six lizzards, 60 goldfish, a trained beetle, a squirrel, two turtles, a baby alligator and a cage of bees." Gray hair dye! Guaranteed to turn the blackest or blondest locks into a beautiful, soft, blue white! That's the latest demand of a perfectly amazing number of New York women and the beauty shops are applying it by the pint-full. A few years ago there was a suddenly increased dislike on the part of women of the time when one began to "turn gray." Also they conceived a prejudice against their natural hair color. A good many of them reddened their tresses, and oh!—they did all sorts of things in the color line. The result was that in a few years, their hair got sort of dead looking and streaked with gray at the roots and turned various shades which had not been planned. Some clever person suggested premature whitening as a remedy and it has been seized upon with acclaim. So the next time you sit in a hotel lounge and watch woman after woman pass by with youthful face and white hair, don't picture all sorts of tragedies working havoc with New York women. No deadly stroke of nature did all that work. No kingdom of the earth remains UNION STARTS NEW WELLS ON CHAPMAN The Union Oil Co. is starting several new wells on the Chapman property. Drilling started on Chapman Nos. 18 and 19. Big building is under way at No. 20. Lumber is on the ground for No. 13, Nos. 14, 15 and 16 are rigged up ready to start drilling.

No. 2 is drilling at 3350. No. 3 is building rig, and No. 4 shows 1500 feet of hole. Towell No. 4 is nearing the production at 3080. McFadden No. 2 is in the oil sand looking good at 385. On the Morse lease No. 5 is in the oil sand drilling at 3356. C and B. No. 1 drilling at 4032 is in the oil sand and should make a good producer in the lower sands. C and B.

Sterni No. 1 will be an oil well as soon as the 6 inch drill pipe is all out. Sterni No. 1 is in the oil sand at 3420. Placentia-Orchard.

CYPRESS COMMUNITY PICNIC SATURDAY The Cypress-Centralia localities will picnic Saturday at the Centralia grammar school grounds. The Agricultural club in the Cypress district organized for the past four months have been in a pig feeding contest. Seven contestants, four boys and three girls, have each raised a purebred porker.

Our whole rushing, working, city is blooming out in toy balloons of all the gay colors of the world. Blowing from every gart and pram on Riverside drive, one sees them, and from automobiles, too; while proud fathers out with the children Sunday afternoon have them tied to waistcoat buttons and saunter happily along with bright bubbles floating above staid derbies. The rowers on the lake in Central Park tie them to their oars. However disputes may rage as to short or long skirts, high necks or low, this is certainly a sweeping season for balloons. Charles W. McDonough was a perfectly amiable and adjustable husband, he insists. He always tried to accept his wife's point of view so long as he could make his ideas nimble enough to keep pace with hers. But on her eighth change of religion he gave out. "It was all right for her to change her religion as often as she felt like it," he explained to the judge the other day, when he decided he would have to get a divorce in order to feel bottled once more. "But I decided it was too much to demand that I change with her every time. It seemed kind of tough on me, too, when she became a Numerologist. That was her last change. She asked me to pay a woman $100 to teach her the intricacies of it and The Cypress-Centralia localities will picnic Saturday at the Centralia grammar school grounds.

P. BUNYARD. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF OIL RESOURCES WASHINGTON, D.C., June 1. Alarmed at the words of David White the chief of the U.S. Geological survey, that the oil situation "may constitute one of the greatest menaces to the future prosperity of the U.S." which statement is made in spite of the temporary reduction of eastern oil prices, the administration has ordered an exhaustive survey of the probable recoverable oil resources of the nation. In other words an "oil census" is to be taken. The work will require nine months and the time of 20 men, and it will undercover to settle for the time being just how much longer the U.S.can depend on its dwindling oil resources in order that future government policies may be shaped to meet the crisis. Statements furnished members of Congress show that high government agencies are coming to the belief that the "extravagantly wasteful use of oil and its products" in the country will have to be curtailed, and that possibly the use of oil under boilers any place but at sea may be cut down if not eliminated, and industries made to turn to other fuel agencies such as hydro-electric power and coal. That the end is in sight and may long as he could make his ideas nimble enough to keep pace with hers. But on her eighth change of religion he gave out. "It was all right for her to change her religion as often as she felt like it," he explained to the judge the other day, when he decided he would have to get a divorce in order to feel settled once more. "But I decided it was too much to demand that I change with her every time. It seemed kind of tough on me, too, when she became a Numerologist. That was her last change. She asked me to pay a woman $100 to teach her the intricacies of it and when she had her $100 worth of teaching, she said she had learned by means of it that she was married to the wrong man. I ask you, judge, if that wasn't sad way for me to have lost my $100?" During the ten years recounted in Mr. McDonough's petition, his wife has been a follower of these cults: Economites, Messmerists, Mind Readers, New Scientists, Theosophists, Nw Thought, Angel Dancers, and Numerologists. WOULD-BE GROOM TRIFLE TOO YOUNG Herbert C. Campbell, Los Angeles, stated on his application for a marriage license that he was 21 years old. County Clerk J. M. ("Cupid") Backs asked him when he was born. "August 16, 1900," replied Campbell, "Nothing doing." Backs announced. Curtain, Campbell and Miss Betrina Bramcota, 18, also of Los Angeles, defectedly leaving the office of Backs. In other words, Campbell will not be 21 until August 16, 1921. NOTICE TO CREDITORS Estate of Sidney Holman, Deceased. Notice is hereby given by the undersigned, executrix of the last will of Sidney Holman deceased, to the creditors of and all persons having claims against the said deceased to file them with the necessary vouchers in the office of the Clerk of the Superior Court of the County of Orange, State of California, or to exhibit the same with the necessary vouchers to the said executrix at her place of business, rooms 203-204 First National Bank Building, Anaheim, in the County of Orange, within ten months after the first publication of this notice. Dated this 25th day of May, 1921, EMMA HOLMAN, Executrix of the last will of SIDNEY HOLMAN, deceased. May 25, June 1, 8, 16, 22. in order that future government policies may be shaped to meet the crisis. Statements furnished members of Congress show that high government agencies are coming to the belief that the "extravagantly wasteful use of oil and its products" in the country will have to be curtailed, and that possibly the use of oil under boilers any place but at sea may be cut down if not eliminated, and industries made to turn to other fuel agencies such as hydro-electric power and coal. That the end is in sight and may come much sooner than the average layman now considers possible is indicated in an official geological survey document prepared by White and distributed to members of the senate and house and others interested at the direction of George Otis Smith, director of the Geological survey. This statement has aroused as much interest in the national capital as the Columbian treaty and there is a prospect of remedial legislation being introduced at the present extraordinary session. White predicts that the peak of oil production in the U.S. will be reached by 1925 and may come as early as 1923. All the oil taken from the ground in the 60 years up to 1919 would not last this country more than 14 years at the present rate of consumption. White asserts. A few more of the high lights in the White statement that created such a sensation in Washington are: "The national demand for the merchant marine and navy is equal to all of the oil produced annually in California, and constitutes a new burden on an already over-loaded demand." With one-eighth as much oil in the ground as has the rest of the world we are calling for four times as much as all the other countries together. The oil situation confronting the United States is genuinely critical and demands the most sober thought and wise, but prompt action. It is time to call a halt and inquire whither we are drifting. The public cannot too soon ask itself as to what extent the inefficient use of oil to generate steam in boilers is to be tolerated. It is pointed out that in so far as California is concerned, conditions are not so bad as in other parts of the United States—this because AWAY WITH IT! Message for the Man of the Family Stay at home some Monday morning and get acquainted with wash-day. Rub and scrub and wring and lift scores of steaming pieces.
