URGES BETTER AUTO TRAFFIC RÉGULATION IN FUNERAL SERMON
Minister Declares Drastic Action Be Taken to Lessen Danger to Public
An appeal for better regulation of auto traffic was the novel theme of a funeral sermon preached this afternoon at the Smith and Tuthill chapel in Santa Ana, over the remains of Mrs. Mary Mathews, pioneer resident of Orange-co, who died from injuries sustained Tuesday evening when she was run over by Clarence Maag, of Orange.
The discourse was given by Dr. John Oliver, pastor of the First Methodist church, of the county-seat city.
The next question is whether the protesting stockholders can round up a majority of the 3,000,000 shares which have been issued in favor of a change in the management.
The litigation committee appointed at the recent stockholders mass meeting held a conference yesterday afternoon at Santa Ana but as the committee was aware the election proposal was coming from the present directors, nothing was done about the mandamus action, which had been the object in calling the meeting. It was decided to call a committee meeting next week when notices will be sent to stockholders asking them to fill out proxies for certain individuals to cast at the election.
TELLS COST OF AID FOR COUNTY POOR
County Aid Commissioner Walter
An appeal for better regulation of auto traffic was the novel theme of a funeral sermon preached this afternoon at the Smith and Tuthill chapel in Santa Ana, over the remains of Mrs. Mary Matthews, pioneer resident of Orange-co, who died from injuries sustained Tuesday evening when she was run over by Clarence Mang, of Orange.
The discourse was given by Dr. John Oliver, pastor of the First Methodist church, of the county-seat city.
The minister assorted emphatically that greater care should be used in enforcement of auto traffic regulations and that drastic measures should be reported to to lessen danger to the public from speeding autos. He asserted each citizen should consider himself a committee of one to report license numbers of all cars observed to be operating in violation of law.
The coroner's jury was unable to arrive at a verdict on the death.
SUN'S REFLECTION FIRE ALARM CAUSE
The reflection of the sun on a window is believed to be responsible for a fire alarm at Santa Ana about 7:30 p.m. yesterday.
In response to a telephone call from Mrs. Harry Hanson the department made a quick run to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Edw. McWilliams. The firemen found the doors of the house open, no one home and no fire.
Mrs. Hanson hostess at a garden party nearby stated that some woman, whose voice she did not recognize, had called her attention to a fire at the McWilliams house. Police investigating believe the red rays of the setting sun prompted the alarm.
OIL LURES STATE'S EYES, SAYS VISITOR
"Wherever men of affairs foregather in the Bay District, the conversation eventually turns to the oil development of Orange-co," said Dr. Thos. R. Randall, prominent physician of San Francisco, here today.
"The eyes of the whole state seem to be on Orange-co. I have spent two days, now, roaming about its highways and byways, after an absence of six years and I am returning home tonight firmly convinced that this county is indeed, 'nature's prolific wonderland.'"
"The marvelous growth of Anaheim and Orange-co is a revelation to me—it is like magic. And I am deeply impressed with your harbor improvements—that is another Orange county enterprise that one hears a great deal about nowadays. I have always considered Orange-co just about the most beautiful section in the state and after this visit I am returning home."

It also shows that the administrative expense of the county aid office was $3,629.43. This brings the gross expenditures up to $32,641.97. The sum of $9,977.66 was refunded to the county by the State Orphan's aid making the actual cost to the county for the year $22,664.31.

Campers in and around Orange-co park felt more at ease today following the capture of a large alligator which escaped from its enclosure near the entrance to the park some time Tuesday night.
Parents were afraid to permit their children to get very far out of their sight. While the alligator is not particularly dangerous it was believed that it would snap at a child if suddenly surprised or stepped upon.
The reptile was found by Miss Helen Portiere, 11, member of a family that is camping near the park.
She came upon the alligator accidently. J. B. Irwin, custodian of the park, was immediately notified and mandamus action, which had been the object in calling the meeting.

LEADING NEWSPAPER OF NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY
Anaheim, California, Friday, July 22, 1921
It's Great Sport to Walk If You Have Been Unable to Walk Before — It's Sport to Aid Such
There's a little Mexican boy hobbling about these days in a laborer's camp at La Habra who is glad that some people take an interest in crippled children. A few months ago he couldn't walk at all. His legs, grotesquely misshapen from birth, were useless to him. His parents, ignorant and poverty-stricken, regarded their son's affliction as the work of an all-wise and dangerously omnipotent Providence.
A social worker brot the unfortunate little lad to the Johnston-Wickett clinic in Anaheim where his legs were straightened and placed in plaster casts. It took a lot of argument to get the parents to consent to the operation. They had no money and they couldn't understand why people should do such things for nothing. They didn't know the meaning of the word "philanthropy." Their gratitude now for what the surgeons at the clinic did is beyond description. The expression on the shining face of the little boy as he experiments with the new sport of walking is the most valuable fee these high-salaried specialists have ever received.
There are other little boys and girls in northern Orange-co with the same or similar afflictions. Unless someone takes an interest in them now they are doomed to go thru life as helpless cripples, always dependent on others. Their parents haven't the money to give them the treatment needed.
It is to help such cases as these that the Crippled Children's Relief Assn. is launching a campaign for $10,000 here. The surgeons at the Johnson-Wickett clinic are still willing — they are even anxious — to give their services free in such cases. But after the operation there are nurse bills and hospital bills, and the child must be looked after for months following the operation. It is for these expenses, which the doctors could not reasonably be expected to bear, that the $10,000 is being sought.
Prominent local men and women, whose names alone are sufficient guarantee of the worthiness of this appeal, have consented to act as a campaign executive committee. Others of equal prominence and standing in the community are helping.
Following the enthusiastic endorsement of the project by the director of the Anaheim C. of C., yesterday offers of support have been pouring in. According to members of the campaign committee, it but remains for a co-ordinated effort to be made to raise this entire fund and begin this highly commendable work among the unfortunate children of the community.
It was understood at the start of the campaign that a committee of well-known local residents would handle all funds and that every charity base would be thoroughly investigated before being treated. Final pre-campaign details were being worked out today, preparatory to a concerted effort to bring it into effect.

PAYNE MEMBER OF SPARTAN GROCERS
G. O. Payne, popular E. Center-st grocer, has taken a step forward by becoming a member of Spartan Grocers, a buying organization that now has 101 members. This is one of the soundest organizations of the kind in the country. It owns its own warehouses in Los Angeles from which members may remove goods in as small amounts as a case at the carlot price.
The change will not affect the staff of the store nor the policy of quality merchandise, a wellknown Payne slogan.
INDIAN SKELETON LOCATED AT BEACH
The skull, pelvis and other bones of a human skeleton were dug up by a laborer working on a roadway that is being constructed by the Standard Oil Company.
Scores of replies of a very interesting and comprehensive nature are being received at the C. of C., setting forth the members' ideas of the most important factors in the program of work for the present fiscal year.
Nearly every thinkable project that could be tackled is brot into this net. One of the most insistent demands is for proper rest rooms for public use, to be situated as nearly at the corner of Center and Los Angeles as possible. Continuation of the ornate and substantial iron street lights to the city limits in all four directions comes in for a big vote, and those who point out the necessity of extending Anaheim's city limits are running into scores.
The need of more apartments and homes, for rental to those who are going away, but might make good citizens, if so provided, is the subject of many replies. Some of the most influential business men plead for a small attractive tourist hotel on the highway. "See that we get what we pay for, when public buildings are erected," walls one of the members, fresh from reading certain discrepancies between specifications and performance in erection of school buildings here, laid bare by the C. of C. in June.
One reply that comes up so often is the thot that owners of downtown property should in some paycheological way be prevailed upon to construct business premises. The California Valencia Orange Show comes in for dozens of messages asking that it be repeated yearly. Several believe this is the principal advertising factor, for a better knowledge of Anaheim in the eyes of the world and his wife.
From these replies, which are being tabulated on cards, will be made up for the program for the chamber's first year of work as an expanded body. Those which appear the most necessary as well as feasible will be chosen. The work will not be pilled on too thick, but accomplishment must be the goal in every case, stated President Riley today.

ALLEGED FORGER IN ORANGE-CO JAIL
Following one of the shortest preliminaries ever conducted in the Santa Ana justice court, Walter Hill, 64, today stands bound over to the superior court on a forgery charge with a ball fixed at $1000. He is being held in the county jail in default.
H. L. Copson was the first witness called. He said that he rented a car on April 16 and that Hill gave him a check for $36. Copson said he cashed the check, deducting the rental. C. C. Chandler, said that Hill applied for a job at his place on Feb. 17. He gave him employment, and Hill worked until April 16.
It was on the latter date that Hill is alleged to have forged Chandler's name to the check which he presented to Copson. Chandler said that the signature was a "good likeness" to his own.
A. E. Hawley and G. B. Templis also have sworn to complaints charging Hill with forgery.

TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR
CALTY VALUES MAKE BIG JUMP
Few Cities in United States Can Show Such Rapidly Increasing Worth in Business and Property As in Anaheim.
Few cities in the United States can show such rapidly increasing realty values as Anaheim has displayed, particularly in business property, in the last three to five years.
This is the wonder of wonder of businessmen throut So. Cal. where rites uniformly are showing tremendous strides. However, in none, is the growth in values comparable to Anaheim's.
A striking example, pointed out by a local realty expert today, is the Theodore Roberts property in the square west of Lemon-st and north of Center. This square, with some lots in adjoining squares, was purchased in 1917 for $35,000. This same property today, four years later, and exclusive of buildings is conservatively estimated to be worth $235,000. The buildings would cost probably as much more.
Another example is the Henry Husman property on So. Los Angeles st., recently purchased by Samuel Kraemer. This property was offered three years ago for $9500. Kraemer is understood to have paid $27,500.
PLAC. MUTUAL WINS SUIT FOR DAMAGES
Superior Judge R. Y. Williams yesterday found in favor of the plaintiff in the case of the Placentia Mutual Orange association, which sued Mrs. Olive King, of Los Angeles, for $1190, alleged to be due in connection with an asserted violation of contract. In deciding that the association was entitled to recover, the court pointed out that a similar case had been tried here. This action was taken into the appellate court, which decided that members of mutual citrus marketing associations were bound in every way by the by-laws of such organizations and could not with impunity market their product thru other agencies.
Evidence was introduced on the

This same property today, four years later, and exclusive of buildings is conservatively estimated to be worth $235,000. The buildings would cost probably as much more.
Another example is the Henry Husman property on So. Los Angeles st., recently purchased by Samuel Kraemer. This property was offered three years ago for $9500. Kraemer is understood to have paid $27,500.
Still another example is the Grand theatre-bldg, recently purchased by Wm. Falkenstein. This building was appraised five years ago at $48,500. Now the 100 foot frontage is estimated to be worth $40,000 while the cost today of reproducing the building would be around $60,000.
These are only a few of the examples showing how Anaheim business property by 100s and even by 1000s of per cent in value in the briefest possible time.
And the beauty of it all is that close students of the future of Anaheim, with its wonderful resources, recognize that it is only getting started.
And while business property is jumping, so have ranches, which on an average for the district may be said to have increased 100 per cent in the last two or three years.
As to the housing situation, there is a shortage all over So. Calif. the only difference in the case of Anaheim being that it is more so here than anywhere else.
AUTO TRADE ASSN.
PLEASES TOURISTS
Thousands of tourists are on the roads, headed for California, and hundreds have made their pilgrimages from other states and have returned to their homes, and all praise the auto service they have received in the garages and service stations of the Golden State.
One thing that has done more to eliminate the bugbear of motoring in this state is the establishment of reliable garages, where men are employed who know their business and where charges are fair.
The Calif. Auto Trade Assn., an organization of automobile men with 43 local associations spreading from Siskiyou-co to Imperial, is doing a great work in eliminating the fly-by-night garage men, and the man who overcharges for repair work when he thinks he can "get away with it."
One of the national motor magazines of the east is forming a bonded service organization throutout the country, thrue a system of garages, in an attempt to do just what the Calif. Auto Trade Assn. is doing. In their advertising they declare that they are trying to do in the nation what the association has done for Garcia-Roberts property in the square west of Lemon-st and north of Center. This square, with some lots in adjoining squares, was purchased in 1917 for $35,000. This same property today, four years later, and exclusive of buildings is conservatively estimated to be worth $235,000. The buildings would cost probably as much more.

And the beauty of it all is that close students of the future of Anaheim, with its wonderful resources, recognize that it is only getting started.
And while business property is jumping, so have ranches, which on an average for the district may be said to have increased 100 per cent in the last two or three years.
As to the housing situation, there is a shortage all over So. Calif. the only difference in the case of Anaheim being that it is more so here than anywhere else.
AUTO TRADE ASSN.
PLEASES TOURISTS
Thousands of tourists are on the roads, headed for California, and hundreds have made their pilgrimages from other states and have returned to their homes, and all praise the auto service they have received in the garages and service stations of the Golden State.
One thing that has done more to eliminate the bugbear of motoring in this state is the establishment of reliable garages, where men are employed who know their business and where charges are fair.
The Calif. Auto Trade Assn., an organization of automobile men with 43 local associations spreading from Siskiyou-co to Imperial, is doing a great work in eliminating the fly-by-night garage men, and the man who overcharges for repair work when he thinks he can "get away with it."
One of the national motor magazines of the east is forming a bonded service organization throutout the country, thrue a system of garages, in an attempt to do just what the Calif. Auto Trade Assn., an organization of automobile men with 43 local associations spreading from Siskiyou-co to Imperial, is doing a great work in eliminating the fly-by-night garage men, and the man who overcharges for repair work when he thinks he can "get away with it."
