JUSTICE IN DESPAIR OVER CASE DELUGE Judge J. B. Cox wants the city of Santa Ana to mind its own business. From beneath a smothering pile of court business, the justice today pointed one hand at a calendar all cluttered with notations of trials, hearings, arraignments and such. Then he elicited the other sand and brot it down with a thump on his desk. "By cracky, what'll I do with 'em all?" he asked. There being none of the defends present to suggest that he might dismiss the vexing burden of cases, and thus case everybody's mind, all around, as it were, the judge continued without interruption: "Here I am, nearly swamped with cases. I'm here at daylight in the morning and after dark at night and still there isn't time enough to take care of them all. They bring them in from all over the county for me to handle here. Lots of them could be handled in some other court just as well. "Take the Santa Ana cases, for instance. I'm going to suggest that these cases, instead of being brot to me, be taken before the city recorder, who has the same jurisdiction that I have in such cases." The apparently over-worked jurist believes that keeping the city cases in the city recorder's court would help to dissolve the jam in justice court; which, if the crime wave keeps up, will soon resemble a broad line stampede, or a convention of the second story association, he fears. NEW LAW ENDS MAN'S CHERISHED RIGHT EL PASO. Oct 19—If a man goes to sleep in a barber's chair in Texas, the barber is guilty of breaking a state law. The man who sleeps isn't committing a crime, but the barber who lets the man sleep. The Interviewer "When it comes to livelying things up, I'll say the Santa Ana Kiwanis are the best we've entertained for some time," declared F. A. Yungblith, local clothier. "Man, there wasn't a minute that something wasn't going on yesterday. I said that we entertained them; I should have said they entertained us. They surely did. From now on I believe we will have more life in our organization. They have extended us an invitation to visit them and when we do I hope we can put on as good an entertainment as they did here. The luncheon undoubtedly was one of the most successful we have had. The Kiwanis club is one of the best things a town could promote, because of the godfellowship which it creates among the merchants. The song of the Santa Ana club is certainly appropriate to the organization." "The young men's Bible class which uses our salesroom every Sunday morning is one of the most interesting classes I have seen." said Arthur May, manager of the May Motor company, distributors of Nash Motor cars. "The old saying that boys are getting out of the Sunday school habit seems to be wrong, if this class indicates what the others are. They all seem to be interested in their work and from what I have seen, a majority of them are as regular in their attendance as clockwork. The church, which is across the street, is so over crowded that they had to seek otter quarters for their boys' class, which also proves that the churches are still well patronized." "Lobsters are now in season and, oh boy, how I would love to go lobster fishing," declared Herbert Grove, local manager of Townsend and Medbury. "I see in the papers where the crowds are leaving San Pedro by the scores, bound for the lobster beds off the southern coast. Fred Crossley my colleague, and myself went lobster fishing up at Big Bear several weeks ago, but we were out of season and consequently the big boys weren't biting.

The man who sleeps isn't committing a crime, but the barber who lets the man sleep is guilty, apparently, under a recent state law. The law prohibits any owner or manager of a barber shop or beauty parlor to permit anyone to sleep in the place. In addition to the wide-awake policy decreed, the law provides that the same piece of alum cannot be used to stop the blood flow from more than one razor slash, and no person with a communicable disease may work in such a shop. ASSISTANCE FOR MERCHANT MARINE WASHINGTON, Oct. 19. — Prevident Hardlog is seeking some means by which heavy indirect subsidies may be put into effect to get a huge fleet of American ships on the high seas again. It was learned today. The President and Chairman Lasker of the shipping board are agreed, it is said, that financial aid from the government, largely through indirect subsidies, is necessary to put life into the American merchant marine. FREE WEDDINGS OFFER FOR LEGION KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 19. — Cupid never worked faster during the days of O. D. and beans for break fast than he will during the American Legion convention in Kansas City. Rev. John W. Inzer, national chaplain of the liontion, said a local jeweler, have announced that all service men may marry here during the convention without cost. Inzer will perform the ceremony free, the jeweler will furnish the ring and the other expenses of the ceremonies which will be performed in local churches, will be borne by the convention fund. Inzer has received several applications. FRANCE'S POLICY PARIS, Oct. 19. — The guiding price criple of France's policy at the Washington conference in regard to land disarmament will be based upon her geographical position—forced to live beside an active and powerful hereditary enemy in Germany. Another almost equally moving factor is that great political enigma of Europe—Russia. French statesmen foresee the ever-present possibility would help to dissolve the jam in justice court, which, if the crime wave keeps up, will soon resemble a broad line stampede, or a convention of the second story association, he fears.

However, I understand that since Volstead became famous, lobsters haven't the demand that they did previous to that time. But, nevertheless, as soon as the demand for Besson lets up, I think I'll try my hand." HID PHONE IN SAFE PLACE IN VACATION A number of amusing incidents relative to the telephone service in Great Britain have been recently reported. Numbers complaints are received by the British Post Office which operates the telephone system in that country, not the fewest of which concern charges for calls which have never been made. In order to avoid such occurrence a certain subscriber, who was going away on a vacation, took his telephone to pieces and sent the dismembered instrument to the bank for safe sleeping. Before long he received a bill for charges which, it was claimed, were incurred during the time his telephone had been peacefully repositing in a safety deposit box at the bank. He decided to pay these charges and got the bank to certify that the instrument had been in its possession all the time, but, as one British newspaper sadly remarked, "it seems pretty certain that the last word would be with the Post Office. The customer might dispute the bill. GREATEST RUSH TO HILLS FIRE MENACE The greatest rush of campers to the hills in probably the entire history of the county, together with increased carelessness on the part of those hunters, anglers and rest seekers, is creating a serious menace to the forests of Orange country, according to Fire Warden W. E. Adkinton. In his monthly report, now on file at the county clerk's office, the warden declares that of all his ten years' experience in forest protection work, the present year has been the most trying to rangers and wardons. There has been the greatest rush to the hills that he has ever seen, and greater carelessness than usual. Adkinton reports.

French statesmen forsee the ever-present possibility that at some future time Germany and Russia may join forces, either militarily or economically, or both, and at one stroke upset all plans. EXPORTS OF AMERICAN GRAIN FOR 1921 NEW RECORD WASHINGTON, Oct. 19. At the present rate, all records for the exportation of grain promises to be broken this year. The report of the Dept. of Commerce giving the statement of exportations for eight months ending Aug. 31, as compared with a similar period in 1920, shows the following: Barley, 15,000,000 bushels as compared with 9,000,000 bushels in 1920; corn, 88,000,000 as compared with 10,000,000 in 1920; rice, $44,000,000 pounds as compared with 289,000,000 pounds in 1920; wheat 206,000,000 bushels as compared with 99,000,000 bushels in 1929. The reports from export points in the U.S. indicate that the shipment of grain abroad during the next three months will surpass all records for the same period in previous years. This being the case, the year 1921 will go down into history as a year of phenomenal exports of American foodstuffs. 12,000,000 ON PAYROLLS: WASHINGTON, Oct. 19. Accord-$1,000,000,000 WAGES MONTHing to reports to the Dept. of Labor and other government agencies, 12,000,000 men are now on industrial payrolls. They are receiving approximately $1,000,000,000 per month in wages. The average pay of the industrial worker today is approximately $1000 a year. The average pay of the industrial worker before the War was a little over $600 a year, which shows that wages have not descended to pre-war levels. The average day wage of the industrial worker today is approximately $3.50. Common skilled labor earns less than that. The average wage of the skilled workman is $15 an hour.

So we have some for the tall guy and some for the little dolls, and a few that both can use, as they've got stools before them to sit on if you're lucky enough to get one."—New York Sun.

The rejuvenation of U.S.C. rooftail teams since Elmer Henderson took up the reins two years ago has given supporters of this year's eleven confidence in its ability to give California's "Wonder Eleven" an awful run for the bacon at Berkeley on Nov. 16. U.S.C. teams in years gone by have put up wonderful individual exhibitions, but often showed an utter lack of team work. With the coming of Henderson all this was changed. Concerted team play became the key note. Facing a shortage of material in his first year at U.S.C. Henderson stuck by his guns and fired men from the squad who evinced an unwillingness to submerge their individuality for the good of the team. U.S.C. went through the season of 1910 with only a single defeat, California is scratching out a 14-12 victory. The following season was even more successful, the schedule culminating in an easy victory over the University of Oregon, which had played Harvard in the previous New Year's East versus West fray. Oregon was frightfully beaten. The score, 21-0, does not tell half the story. Oregon was unable to make a single first down against the adamant rush line of U.S.C. But while Henderson has laid stress on the defensive power of his line the past two seasons, he has been building a system of attack very similar to that employed by Harvard and introduced by Perge Haughton. This is the theory of the unbalanced line, the designation of the positions being disregarded entirely. The wheel shift is employed, the line surging forward compactly and the backs breaking through where the defensive line gives. With a meaty center, guards and tackles the system has worked out excellently so far. Henderson likes speed in the backfield and he has it this year, particularly in Phil Tiernan, a former Long Beach high school star when Unit team won the state championship two years ago. Gordon Campbell, a star on the freshman aquad last fall, is also a fast man, as is Amor Galloway, a transfer from DePauw, who entered that institution originally from U.S.C. Henderson's offensive system considers the forward-pass as a stock run. THE LAUNDRY The public laundry is invovable, necessary, desirable, and has come to stay. The growth in number and business of the public laundry has come a study by the associations of laundry owners of the science of laundering. The laundry subjects the fabrics to no rougher usage than the home laundress does and usually gets the fabrics cleaner. The user injures many fabrics so that a trip to the laundry merely serves to bring out the injury. Sticking pins into cloth usually breaks a few fibers, which later give way during washing and start a hole. Catching a shirtwalst on a rough place in the furniture, or bed linen on the corner of a spring, will cause a small tear or weaken a few fibers, which even gentle laundering will break and use as the start of a tear or a hole. Cutting bread on the tablecloth or drawing a knife edge or fork prongs over the tablecloth and napkins causes almost invisible injuries which the laundry is sure to make visible. Occasionally the fabric itself is at fault. The thread in one direction may be excellent, but in the "filling" may be paper or other inefficient material. Knotted threads in the second-quality of fabrics cause trouble as the knots stand out and get rough treatment in use or in ironing; tearing the thread and starting a fault which subsequent laundering accentuates. Cloth may be improperly dyed so that the chemicals used or the process of dyeing will weaken the cloth appreciably. The laundryman causes damage in some cases, but usually the fault is with the fabric or with the use to which it has been subjected—Albert Parsons Sachs in The New York Evening Mail. NEW ALMANAC HAS CALAMITIES BOOKED NEW YORK, Oct. 19. — Many "sudden things" will happen during the next year, according to a farmer's almanac which has made its appearance here. The moon is the ruling planet for 1922 and signifies the common people, the almanac says. Sudden failures or sudden fortunes will be made, and there will be sudden and unexpected expressions of honesty or dishonesty, sudden attacks of illness and sudden recoveries. In years ruled by the moon, the springs are damp, cold and frosty. Summers are warm in the early parts, but cool in the latter parts snows, but the January following will be dry and windy. Sheep, bees and all things exposed will suffer and die in moon winters. Do not sow seed too early, is the advice of Palms are damp and cold with early gives to farmers. There will be only a few toads snakes and grasshoppers, but caterpillars, worms, mice and rats will abound. Hunters and campers should exercise great care for destructive forest fires are indicated. The last year has been filled with uncertainty, unrest, jealousy, strife, revenge, much excitement and many accidents, while both business and employment suffer. Plant in the new of the moon, cultivate and harvest in the old of the moon, is other advice to farmers. Any enterprise begun during the increase of the moon has much better prospects of success than the things commenced at decrease of the moon, it is claimed. Between 1,500 and 2,000 passenger automobiles are now operating in Tien-tsin, China.

JAPS GET PHONES BY LUCKY NUMBERS The Oriental fondness for gambling is well known, but a new twist has been given to the lottery game in Yokohama. At a drawing held a while ago in the presence of the mayor and several leading business men certain lucky individuals were selected to have the privilege of securing telephone installations within the ensuing five or six months. The Japanese government, which operates the telephone service, is several years behind in filling requests for installation, and this method was resorted to for the purpose of selecting 929 out of the 4697 applicants on file in the city of Yokohama, or about one in five, to be given attention. Ten years, or more, is not unusual wait for a telephone in the Flowery Kingdom, so slow in the development of the service under the government administration. According to the latest estimates there is no increase in the moon has much better prospects of success than the things commenced at decrease of the moon, it is claimed. Between 1,500 and 2,000 passenger automobiles are now operating in Tien-sin, China. The Japanese government, which operates the telephone service, is several years behind in filling requests for installation, and this method was resorted to for the purpose of selecting 929 out of the 4697 applicants on file in the city of Yokohama, or about one in five, to be given attention. Ten years, or more, is not unusual wait for a telephone in the Flowery Kingdom, so slow in the development of the service under the government administration. According to the latest estimates there is only one telephone in Japan to 200 people, while the United States has about 23, and Canada something over 16 telephones to each 200 of the population. The prizes in the Yokohama telephone lottery had a pretty substan-vtid money value, too, for telephone installations are bought and sold in Japan on the stock earnings. Some of the prices recorded seem inconceivable, from $250 to $1,250 being by no means uncommon, but when it is considered that the Japanese business man must either buy an existing number or e lsewait years for his telephone, it is not surprising after all. Even if he does wait years, apparently he may still miss the prize if a drawing is held and his application should fall to have the "lucky number."
