ASK FIRE CHIEF TO TELL YOU HAZARD Mr. and Mrs. Home Owner, do you want your happy home to be destroyed by fire? And— Mr. and Mrs. Home Owner, are you aware of the fact that there are fire hazards in and around your house? And— Do you want someone to look over your home—make a fire survey of it, say—and point out to you any one or more of the hundred and one things that unknown to you, may be monoing your home? If you do, just call Dean Hassen, fire chief, and he will drop out to your house and point out to you the things that endanger your house. This is a service that the Anaheim fire department offers to you—and without cost. The chief of the department is not only willing to do this, but will be happy in rendering the service. Fires in 1920 caused a financial loss of half a billion dollars and 25,000 lives, according to Jay W. Stevens, head of the National Fire Underwriters Bureau, who addressed the Kiwanis club here this week. He showed slides of fires, pointing out causes of the fires. His talk was pointed out by moving pictures of fires in Los Angeles. The film was made under the direction of Fire Chief R. H. Scott of Los Angeles. He stated the fire losses of last year increased 100 per cent over the average loss per year for the previous ten years. Included in the film were scenes of a foreman going through a private home and pointing out to the owner conditions existing in his home that were a menace to his property. How many women in putting aside for a few minutes an electric iron, place the hot iron on a piece of cloth or on the ironing board instead of on a metal stand? Hundreds do it every day. Often, too, users put the iron away without discontinuing the juice. Here are just a few of the conditions or practices that cause fires, as pointed out by Fire Chief Hassen: Lighting a match in a dark clothes closet to locate a garment. (The chief admits that he has done this concealed nonmagnetic ore are usually offered for sale either through ignorance or with infant defraud. Some honest attempts have been made to prospect for nonmagnetic ores by measuring in different directions the capacity of the ground to conduct an electric current, the idea being that the ground containing metallic material will conduct the current better than that which contains none. These attempts, as well as trials with other electrical devices, however, have not been successful, and the various forms of such apparatus could not be used by one unfamiliar with electrical work. Some measurements of the electric potential of metallic minerals were made several years ago in the laboratory of the U. S. Geological Survey by R. C. Wells, and the results were published in the Survey's Bulletin 548, entitled "Electric activity in ore deposits," which may be had for 10 cents from the Superintendent of Documents. The results obtained by Mr. Wells, however, do not afford adequate basis for any method of electrical prospecting and it is still doubtful whether electrical methods of prospecting for nonmagnetic ores will ever be useful, although they may have limited application in searching for certain kinds of ores. Most deposits of the precious and semiprecious tals and their ores are discovered by those who, by experience, have become familiar with the kinds of rock in which the ores are found and who use the ordinary methods of prospecting. No instrument other than the drill has been devised that will indicate the presence of water or oil underground. In determining the probable existence of underground supplies of these liquids geologists are guided by their knowledge of the relation of beds of rocks visible at the surface to beds that contain oil or water at other places in the same general region. They also make use of the recognized relation of occurrences of oil or water to certain structure (for in the rocks, and ores, such as oil seep flows of gas, etc). The Survey has published Supply Paper 416 and Ellis, entitled "The history of water shows the uselessness from the Director of Logical Survey, Was...

Here are just a few of the conditions or practices that cause fires, as pointed out by Fire Chief Hassen: Lighting a match in a dark clothes closet to locate a garment. (The chief admits that he has done this and that on one occasion he set fire to clothes in the closet.) An exposed or broken electric wire at the light socket. An exposed wire may set fire to the insulation, and the lighted pieces may fall to the floor and ignite the carpet. Polite lights on gas heaters. Frequently these get out of order and burn higher than they should. Inspection should be made frequently. Flexible rubber tubes attached to gas heaters or plates. The tubing breaks easily and cracks. Gas leaks out. A match is applied to light the stove, the room is full of gas—and there is a blaze. Never use this rubber tubing, is the advice of the chief. An electric light globe used as a bed warmer. This frequently is done and many fires have resulted from this cause. Rubbish thrown away in the cellar or in a store room. This is one of the greatest risks. Placing "cold" ashes in a wooden receptacle. The "cold" ashes often prove to be live ones and a fire results. Ashes should be placed in a metal receptacle. Cleaning gloves or clothes with gasoline in a close room where there is a flame of any kind. The explosive power of a pint of gasoline is sufficient to wreck the average house. An electric globe hung near a window drapery. This is done all too often. It is dangerous. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." The house owner who doesn't know the many little things he can do to lessen his fire risk will find his time profitably spent if he will call in the fire chief or any member of the depart for a little education on fire prevention. The service san be had for the asking. How many in Anaheim will accept the offer of assistance? Let's see! DIVINING ROD ROT, SAYS U. S. SURVEY (U. S. Geological Survey Presa Bulletin) The idea of a "divining rod," or some other instrument that may be used as a means of finding buried treasure, mineral deposits, and underground oil or water is a superstition... DIVINING ROD ROT, SAYS U. S. SURVEY (U. S. Geological Survey Press Bulletin) The idea of a "divining rod," or some other instrument that may be used as a means of finding buried treasure, mineral deposits, and underground oil or water is a superstition that continues with marvelous persistence in spite of the lack of tangible results from its employment. It may be said without qualification or exception that no rod or instrument has yet been devised to find buried treasures, nor any instrument that will indicate the presence of gold, silver, copper, lead zinc or other nonmagnetic metals or their ores, that are hidden from view under ground. Iron, nickel, and some materials that contain these metals are magnetic, and the dip-needle or miner's compass has been adapted to use in prospecting for these metals. Such an instrument can be purchased, but special training is required to enable anyone to use it successfully. A volume published by the United States Geological Survey, Department of the Interior, entitled "Mineral Resources of the United States, 144 to 154," contains a discussion of methods of prospecting for iron ore calendar year 1911." Part I, pages by magnetic surveys and by drills. Atto the use of the dip needle is theoretically simple, much practice is required to make accurate observations with it. After these are made they must be interpreted by the consideration of many factors, such that the unskilled user is likely to be disappointed in his results. The edition of the volume above mentioned available for free distribution is now out of stock at the Geological Survey, but a copy may be purchased from the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. for 90 cents. Day, old, silver, copper, lead and zinc here; not magnetic, and no instrument well in use will indicate the presence of these metals or their ores if they are hidden from view within ground. Devices that are sup- WATER TROUBLE IN BANDINI PET. No. 1 Water trouble developed in the Bandini Petroleum Co.'s. No. 1 at 3600, and it was found necessary to re-cement the 6" at that point. Drilling was going nicely at 4050 in the brown shale. The Central Oil Co. has just brought in the best well for a number of years. No. 69 drilled to 2265 came in a 200 barrel well. The new well is making 27 gravity oil, another nice feature. No. 68 drilling at 1285 is showing considerable gas and colors of oil. No. 71 is making hole at 1550 and is going after the second sand. The Ocean View Oil Co.'s No. 1 is producing a 100 barrels a day and shows no signs of decline. The rig for No. 2 is up and partially rigged up. The La Habra Midway landed a string of 12" at 860 successfully, is now rutting in 10" and drilling ahead. The Progress of the So. Cal. Oil Co. under the management of Superintendent Bailey is a feature of the field. Bailey took the well over at 1200 feet, with the hole full of junk. The junk has been cleared and the drilling is now at 1945 feet in brown shale. Luck smiled on the Shell Co. of Cat at Hart No. 1. The fishing job that held the well at 3995 has been successfully executed and the drilling is now at 4010 in the hard sand. Cole No. 1 is close to 4200 feet in brown shale. The Standard Oil Co. is starting new wells at Whittier. On the Murphy-Coyote No. 88 is a rig and No. 87 in certain structure (folds, faults, etc.) in the rocks, and of surface indications, such as oil seeps, springs, outflows of gas, etc. The U.S. Geological Survey has published as Water Supply Paper 416 a report by A.J.Ellis, entitled "The divining rod, a history of water witching," which shows the uselessness of the instrument. This report may be obtained from the Director of the U.S. Geological Survey, Washington, D.C. grading for rig. No. 85 and 86 are drilling at 3100 and 2900 respectively. On the Bastanchurcy property No. 1 is drilling at 3800 and No. 5 is drilling at 4425. The production of Whitley No. 5 is now a fixed and undisputable figure. The well is doing 100 barrels daily. No. 6 drilled out the cement at 2214 and is balling out for a test. No. 7 is close to 900 feet drilling in the conglomerate. The Amalgamated Oil Co. has recovered 200 feet of hole at Butterworth No. 1 but is still 200 feet off the bottom. It is the intention to make the Butterworth a test well and go to 4600. At Meyer No. 5 the Union Oil Co. is rigging up the rotary to resume drilling at 4150. At No. 4 some 200 feet of hole was lost and redrilling is now at 3975. Bell No. 5 is 3751 in grey sand and has shown very little indications of oil. DUNTON ATTEMPTS TO OBTAIN MOTORS George Dunton, Ford and Fordson distributor, went to Los Angeles today in an effort to speed up delivery of cars as he is experiencing a car famine. Altho he has three carloads rolling from the factory, he has been completely out of some models for several weeks, despite the factory is now breaking all production records. Demand continues excellent here, Dunton reports. Yesterday, D.H.VanMeter, salesman for Dunton, sold four cars. VanMeter came from Phoenix a few weeks ago and is a stranger in Orange-co but he goes out and gets the orders. Up to nine months ago, he was an auto mechanic. If this generation does not protect the forests and replenish them, the next generation will have no forests. Indeed the present generation itself will be virtually forestless if there is not a conservation of timber. A Want Ad in the Plain Dealer will Bring Results. The Plain Dealer for Good Printing Commoner Is Grabbed But Judge Frees Him WAUKEGAN, Ill., July 27—William J. Bryan in police court. And the justices of the peace in Illinois have a tenderer spot in their hearts for the great 'commoner' than do Illinois "constables." For the "constable" arrested "Grape Juice Bill" for speeding, and the justice of the peace shook hands with the champion presidential candidate and let him off without a fine. Bryan was speeding—he admits it. He was making the best time that he could from Dclevan, Wis., to Waukegan, trying to get here on the hour scheduled for his lecture. But at Antioch, ill., the constable got him. It was in vain that Bryan told the officer who he was and why he was speeding. He was arrested and he had to go to court—there were no two ways about it. But the justice of the peace at Antioch was more susceptible to the demands of greatness. "Go thou and sin no more," he said to Bryan as he shook hands with him and bowed him out of the court room. And Bryan went, but he was a little late for his lecture. The latest scheme of theatrical managers is to send their women-folk abroad to negotiate transactions in the acquiring of plays. William A.Brady empowered his daughter Alice to advise him concerning new productions in London and Paris, and Earl Carrol has sent his wife to Biarritz to discuss with the family of Edmond Rostand an adaption of "The Last Night of Don Juan" by Mr.Carroll, who last season presented "The Lady of Lamp" and "Daddy Dumplings," and is now building a theatre at Fifteenth street and 7th avenue.

Hill was arrested in Sioux City yesterday. The body of Helen Maxine Short, 10, was found in an irrigation ditch near Eno, Colo., Saturday. The child had been thrown in alive with heavy weights tied to her to hold her under water. The mother, Mrs. Thelma Hill, accused her husband, from whom she had been separated, of a part in the crime. The victim of a footpad has some chance of escaping or of recovering the loot. Not so the victim of a profiteer. THREATS OF WAR ON KUKLUX SENT PAPER DALLAS, Tex., July 27.—A war of the klana threatened Texas today. At Beaumont a letter addressed "Ku Klux Klan", and signed "Anti-Ku Klux Klan" was sent to a newspaper. It served notice that 100 men had organized themselves to shoot down like mad dogs men found to be members of the "Klan." The letter closed with the warning that "there will be many wilds in southeast Texas if the gang is not disbanded upon reading this notice." At Texarkana last night masked men entered a dancing pavilion, kid-naped Gordon Harrison, negro or chagra leader, and whipped him, he told the police. The abductors warned him to be careful in his relations with white people, he asserted. What About Your Future?
