CLIQUES RETARDING ENDEAVOR GROWTH Cliques in Christian Endeavor societies are retarding progress in the work of the organizations, according to declarations made at the thirty-second annual convention of the Orange county Christian Endeavor Union at Tuntin by Miss Mary Brown, of Riverside state superintendent of the Junior C. E. The speaker made this more or less startling statement in discussing the problem of how to build up societies She touched upon many phases of the subject. The convention was convened following a sunrise prayer meeting by Christian Endeavors at Red Hill, where 50 men and women assembled to open the day with devotions. The Alumni association of the county union elected the following officers: Herbert Rankin, Santa Ana, president; Miss Edith Culter, El Modena, vice president; Mrs. Stansfield, El Modena, secretary; Glenn Tidball, Santa Ana treasurer. Following her report, discussion of how to build up C. E. Societies was taken up and it was during consideration of this subject that Miss Brown assigned the formation of cliques in societies as one of the causes contributing to what is said to be the slow progress in the development of societies. As showing some of the ways An which the work might be made more interesting and result in separation of the cliques, Miss Brown took the C. E. motto: "For Christ and Church," letter by letter and presented something of interest that each letter represents in the activities of the organization, or what the organization offered. For instance the letter "F" stands for fun, and good wholesome fun is available to endeavors who take an active part in the society work, the speaker said. Miss Edith Culter emphasized the social side and work of the society. REMARKABLE TEST IN GAS ECONOMY What is considered remarkably good gasoline economy was shown in a series of tests held in three Southern California towns with Studebaker light six touring cars. Last Saturday Harry D. Riley conducted a test after the office had been flooded with the coupon registering the guesses of the public as to how far the car would run on a single gallon of gasoline. When the motor stopped the spedometer registered 33.15 miles according to the official observers who rode in the car. DAMAGES IN CRASH CASE ARE REFUSED Claim for damages asked by Mrs. Augusta Freeburn from C. B. Abbott following an auto collision on North Main-st, Santa Ana, Jan. 6, 1921, was denied by Superior Judge R. Y. Williams in Judgment issued today, awarding the defendant costs of the suit. Negligence of the plaintiff was declared by the court to have been responsible for the collision. The findings set forth that testimony shows the Franklin car, driven by the plaintiff along North Main-st, was sixty feet from the point where and when a Ford, driven by Abbott, entered the street from a private driveway, and that the plaintiff was not watching the road at the time. TRY TO SAVE SON FROM SAN QUENTIN That the intervention of his parents may save R. N. Deck of Santa Ana from prison, appeared probable today with the receipt of word from San Francisco that charges of embezzlement hanging over him in that city have been dismissed. Local authorities today stated that this fact brightened perceptibly Deck's chances for obtaining probation on a similar charge, to which he has pleaded guilty here, Judge R. Y. Williams will decide the case in department two of the superior court next Friday at 9 a.m., the time set for hearing Deck's application for probation. Deck, admitting guilt for embezzling $183 from the Kaufman Spotlight company while employed as a bookkeeper for the concern in August, threw himself upon the mercy of the court. Until the status of a case in San Francisco, in which he was understood to be involved was learned, his chances for probation were regarded as stender. However, a letter received today by Probation Officer H. R. Miller from Paul L. Dunlin, San Francisco probation officer, informed Miller that Deck's parents, residing in Nebraska, had settled the northern case and that charges against the young man had been dropped there. The sum involved in the case at San Francisco was $480. Grammar School Notes The assembly held at the Fremont school on Friday was a rare treat for the pupils. In observance of fire prevention week, a special assembly was appropriate for that occasion. A What is considered remarkably good gasoline economy was shown in a series of tests held in three Southern California towns with Studebaker light six touring cars. Last Saturday Harry D. Riley conducted a test after the office had been flooded with the coupon registering the guesses of the public as to how far the car would run on a single gallon of gasoline. When the motor stopped the spedometer registered 33.15 miles according to the official observers who rode in the car. This mileage was exceeded in a similar test conducted at Long Beach a few days previously. In that city the car ran 35.95 miles per gallon. The difference being ascribed to the difference in condition of the highways over which the cars traveled. Judge Cox of Santa Ana, who is well known all over Southern California and feared by every man who puts a heavy foot on the accelerator while in Orange county, acted as Judge of economy on the test held at Santa Ana. Judge Cox made the statement after the run that if more motorists would strive for economy instead of speed they would save money in two ways—lesser operating costs and fewer donations to the county treasury. While these three tests, all of which showed more than thirty miles to the gallon, were made with a strictly stock car the carburetor adjustment was for economy rather than lugging power or speed. What can be done with a Studebaker light six in ordinary touring, was clearly demonstrated recently when two teams of women drivers entered an economy contest in which they drove light six Studebakers on a round trip between Los Angeles and San Francisco. One car averaged 26.5 miles while the other ran 25.07 miles per gallon. Good touring speed was maintained as the cars averaged 25 miles an hour for the trip each way and each car made the up trip through the San Joaquin valley in a single day run. PRISCO CASE HELD AGAINST PROBATION Throwing himself upon the mercy of the court and hoping that the ghost of a former alleged crime will not reach out from past months to drag him into the state prison, R. N. Deck, of Santa Ana, pleaded guilty to a charge of embezzlement and asked Judge R. Y. Williams of the superior court to place him on probation. The court set Oct. 15 at 9 a.m. as the time for pronouncing judgment in the case. The prisoner is accused of having embezzled $183.75 from the Kaufman Spotlight Co., while he was employed by the concern, on Aug. 24. At the same time, apparently casting its ghostly shadow over Deck's chances for probation at the hands of Judge Williams, is an al- Grammar School Notes The assembly held at the Fremont school on Friday was a rare treat for the pupils. In observance of fire prevention week, a special assembly was appropriate for that occasion. A short skit was given by several of the students and silhouette it was gotten up almost impromptu, it was one of the best plays given for a long time. The cast follows: The Trial of Fire Judge, Hugh Killer; Clerk from the court, Harold Mann; District attorney, Billie Grafton; Counsel for the Defense, Winton Smith; the jury, Rector Coona, Gewline Giss, Warren Jewell, Lawrence Mitchell, Lyle Pember.

Every one, including the faculty and the students, thoroughly enjoyed this entertainment and more of these skits are promised the pupils in the near future. The new grammar school has retraced it's route today, picking up the grammar school children, much to the enjoyment of the mothers as well as the youngsters. FOUR GENERATIONS AT DINNER A surprise, which was a really surprise, was perpetrated yesterday upon Mrs. John Miller, Riverside, when her children went to her home, took the kitchen in charge and served a bountiful birthday dinner. Two weeks ago Mrs. Miller surprised her husband in the same complete manner and thought it an excellent joke, but was real sure nobody could take her off her guard in like manner. However, it was done, and in the happiest manner the honoree admitted the fact. The birthday cake was a large one decorated with candles, and the dinner was a delicious one served in four courses. The guests included four generations, they being Mrs. Miller, her daughter, Mrs. N. J. Kuhlman, Mrs. Rachael Donahue, of San Bernardina and her little son, Hugh, Jr. A picture of them was made also pictures of the entire dinner party, which included the following: the honoree and her husband Mr. and Mrs. John Miller; Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Miller and three children, of Azuza; Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Murr, and Mrs. Belle Hayden, of Riverside; Mr. and Mrs. N. J. Kuhlman, of Anheims; Roy Stone; Barry Woods; pleaded guilty to a charge of embezzlement and asked Judge R. Y. Williams of the superior court to place him on probation. The court set Oct. 15 at 9 a.m. as the time for pronouncing judgment in the case. The prisoner is accused of having embezzled $183.75 from the Kaufman Spotlight Co., while he was employed by the concern, on Aug. 24. At the same time, apparently casting its ghostly shadow over Deck's chances of probation at the hands of Judge Williams, is an alleged embezzlement which Deck, according to authorities, committed in San Francisco early last summer. A complaint was issued in the bay city in June at the behest of Paul L. Dupin, manager of the Herald hotel there, who charged that Deck stole $480 while employed as a hotel clerk, advices here stated. Local authorities believe probation will not be granted Deck in view of the fact that he is wanted in San Francisco. ORANGE-CO PIONEER DIES Dr. I. D. Mills, resident of Santa Ana for 33 years, first public administrator and coroner of Orange-co, prominent Mason, Odd Fellow and business man, a veteran of the Civil War and actively identified with the development of El Modena and Santa Ana in their early days, died Saturday at his residence, 230 South Orange-ave, Orange, following a year's illness resulting from an operation.
