This congress is lamentably lacking in team-work. It is not even following partisan lines closely. On the contrary it is breaking up into blocs and factionalizing itself along lines of class selfishness. This deterioration of effectuality in legislating comes at a crucial time in the nation's history. There never was a time when wise teamwork was needed more acutely than now. And yet, instead of harmonizing, co-ordinating and pulling together for the common good, members of congress are aligning themselves with this, that or the other bloc, faction or school of that. The fruits logically might be disastrous to the country. Why should not the people act to induce congress to come to its senses and to act as it should? An ornithological colonel in the British army during the late war trained his men in auto-aircraft duties by making them take observations on the flight of birds. From abundant data thus obtained, it appears that the speed of birds has been much exaggerated. None of them can approach the speed of the swiftest airplanes. 7 OF 58 COUNTIES HAVE LOWER TAXES Only seven of the 58 counties in California have a lower tax rate than Orange-co. The fact is shown in figures just issued by the state controller's department, covering property values and other statistics for each county for the year 1921. Orange-co's rate is $1.50 inside of cities and $1.90 outside is lower than the rate in 50 of the other counties. The seven counties The Village Gossip Appropriating a woman's prerogative, B. H. Roberts has changed his mind about marrying Vira Lucy French. At least, he so informed County Clerk J. M. ("Cupid") Backs, when he sent back the license. A terse note stated that the nuptials were not going to take place and would Backs please see that the words to that effect were stricken from the public records. Roberts, who is 24, and a painter in the 13th Balloon company, U. S., stationed at Arcadia, obtained a license in Santa Ana Oct. I to wed Vira Lucy French, 19, also of Arcadia. The license came through the mail from Arcadia with the note from Roberts, which read: "Dear Sir: I am sending the license back, as I have changed my mind about getting married, and will you please take it off the docket? "Very sincerely yours, "B. H. Roberts." Backs was not satisfied. "This note says he changed his mind," he observed, "but it doesn't say he changed his mind first. I wonder, now." Electricity and shipbuilding are attracting more followers among the youths of Japan than any other nation. It takes just six hours to convert a growing forest tree into a newspaper ready for sale on the streets. Selfish people are never selfish enough to keep their troubles to themselves. American tourists in Germany are investing from 200,000 to 400,000 marks or $3000 to $6000 in automobiles de luxe. HAVE LOWER TAXES Only seven of the 58 counties in California have a lower tax rate than Orange-co. The fact is shown in figures just issued by the state controller's department, covering property values and other statistics for each county for the year 1921. Orange-co's rate is $1.50 inside of cities and $1.90 outside is lower than the rate in 50 of the outer counties. The seven counties with still lower rates are Alpine, Glenn, Imperial, Los Angeles, Inyo, Kern and Santa Barbara. Santa Barbara has a higher rate than Orange co outside of cities, its rate being $2. Kern, the lowest in the state, has a rate of $1.07 inside cities, and $1.47 outside. The Plain Dealer for Good Printing. Crash! Bang! Another Accident Radiator caved in, fenders smashed up.

The Placentia Round Table club holds its regular meeting at the clubhouse on Wednesday afternoon. An invitation was accepted by the Round Table to attend the meeting of the Better Mothers' club on Nov. 27th, when a speaker from Barker Bros., Los Angeles, will discuss the "Psychology of Color and Furnishings from the Standpoint of Centers of Interest." The resignation of Mrs. Harry Jordan was regretfully accepted. In the absence of the recording secretary, Mrs. Clas Hansen, Mrs. Arthur Staley acted in her place. The names of Mrs. Dan New, Mrs. J. P. Monroe, Mrs. Victor Garenfa, Mrs. Roy Charlton and Mrs. H. P. Bender were presented for membership and all unanimously elected into the club. Mrs. Lewis Edwardson announced the program for the next two meetings, Nov. 2, which is to be guest day, and all members are urged to bring two guests to hear the musical being prepared by the music committee. The following meeting on Nov. 16 will be a Question Box conducted by Mrs. J. W. Newell. All members are to bring questions written out on paper, to be handed to her on the previous meeting, on Nov. 2. Mrs. Thamer gave an interesting account of the Orange-co Federation meeting held in Anaheim Inst Sat- urday. Mrs. Florence Dodson Schoneman was the guest of the afternoon and in Spanish costume (which came from Spain) gave a wonderfully interesting talk on California history and landamrks. She is a native daughter, descended from one of the original Spanish families and was well able to give an intimate talk on the early California home life. Mrs. Farley of Fullerton, with Miss Shepardson at the piano, said two delightful solos, "La Golondrilo" and "La Paloma" in Spanish. Miss Franees Schalles gave two well-rendered piano solos. A social half-hour followed in which led tea and wafers were served by the hostesses, Mrs. A. T. Pendleton and Mrs. C. H. Smith. The Placentia Country club was entertained by Mrs. F. D. Miller at her lovely home on Thursday afternoon. The time was pleasantly spent at 500; the high score going to Mrs. J. E. Scott and contribution to Mrs. James Tuffree. The Better Mothers' club held their regular meeting on Thursday afternoon at the home of Mrs. J. E. Scott. Owing to the illness of the president, Mrs. P. L. Bradford, the chair was filled by the first vice-president, Mrs. Frank Hill. After a short business meeting the chair was turned over to Mrs. Lewis Edwardson, chairman of the program committee. She then introduced the spaker of the afternoon, Dr. Beatrie McMullen of Ful- lerton, who gave a very interesting and informal talk on subjects of interest to mothers, Mrs. Russie Becket delighted her hearers with two delightful piano solos.

Dave Lemke was quite badly burned Tuesday about midnight while at work at the Petroleum Midway. A piece of burning was caught his overalls just at the knot and in trying to extinguish the fire his hands were badly burned also. He is able to walk around but will be on light duty for some time. Dr Kay is dressing the burns. Mrs. R. L. Fourman was hostess to the Missionary society on Monday afternoon. Two very interesting papers were read, "Home Missionaries" by Mrs. C. R. Farar and "Missionary Schools in India" by Mrs. J. E. Scott. Girl Scouts Efficient Homemakers GIRL SCOUTS EFFICIENT HOMEMAKERS GIRLS' fruits and vegetables is just one way that the Girl Scout allows her ability as a homemaker. Unless you happen to be a parent or teacher of one of the 110,000 Girl Scouts in this country you probably don't know that homemaking is the favorite indoor port of the Girl Scouts. What is the most economical way to buy flour, sugar, cereals, butter and vegetables? How should they be kept in the Locker? What is the law in your community concerning the disposition of trash, nails and marbles? How should you care for these things in the house? If there is no law what will you do with them and why? Under what conditions do germs thrive and verails infest? How can both be kept away? How should rugs, mattresses, pillows, upholstered furniture, papered walls, and windows be cleaned? These are a few of the questions the Girl Scout must answer if she is to win the merit badge with the crossed keys which is the symbol of the homemaker. As a canner she must submit specimens of her work showing the cold pack method, six jars of preserved fruit and six glasses of jelly; if she wins the inundress badge she must know how to remove stains of nit kinds; how channels should be washed; how to make starch and how to wash colored garments. Besides all this there are badges to be won as hostess, as needlewoman, as milliner, as home nurse, as child nurse and cook. By the time the Girl Scout has won all of these she can make her own hats and dresses, take care of babies and invalids and make plies "like mother used to make." PARENTAL SCHOOL BOOSTED IN COUNTY A committee charged with spreading publicity in favor of a parental school for Orange county children with tendencies toward delinquency was busily at work today following a meeting at Santa Ana at which Dr. J. Harold Williams, head of juvenile research for the state of California, was the principal speaker. The results of seven years' intensive study of the problem of juvenile delinquency as met with at the state institution at Whittier were revealed by Dr. Williams to 25 educators, business men, financiers and county officials present. Dr. Williams had been invited by Miss Mary Bess Henry, head of the department of education of the high school, and the combined boys' committees of the Rotary and Kiwanis clubs. The speaker declared that as yet no system had been devised to describe and place all types of juvenile delinquencies; nor was there any definite schemes by which they could be cured. Researh work at the Whittier institution had revealed that more than 75 per cent of those committed to be placed later proved good citizens and never ran counter to the law. Dr. William's asserted. He pointed out at least azclothing.o what he considered a significant feature of juvenile delinquency—that at least 30 per cent of the inmates ar feeble care feeble minded. On the motion of Probation Officer Miller, resolutions were adopted charging a committee from those present with the task of spreading publicity in favor of a parental school. UNIONS WOOD BAR BEBE FROM MOVIES It was early in the summer—Bebe Daniels was completing a sojourn fifteen exciting days in the Orange-co jail— The Calif. Auto Trades Assh., in convention at St. Ann's inn, gave her a fine speedometer, and Bebe accepted it, saying: "Never again I am thru with speeding." And then she went right back to work and the very first thing Real art did was o make a picture, starring Bebe, which they titled "The Speed Girl." It seems the Los Angeles Building Trades council does not like the idea and has filed resolution with the city council asking that the film be barred in Los Angeles and elsewhere. They state in their resolutions that the Lasky-Famous Players corporation, of which Realart is a unit, capitalized Bebe's violation of the speed laws in the picture. So—it would seem—life is just one exciting thing after another for Bebe. Weight for platinum is worth nearly four times as much as gold. An airplane passes through more than 200 tests before it is considered perfect. for Orange county, Miller appointed Major J. R. Wellington chairman of the committee.
