4 ANNULMENT CASES ARE NOW PENDING Four mistreated and disillusioned bluebirds unable to make themselves comfortable in a dove-cote, are fluttering at the windows of Orange-co's courthouse. No, it isn't a case for the housing commission. The vagrant birds have a sad story for each to tell; an unkissed bird or two; puppy love treated to a cold shower bath; a fond groom who that he was No. 1, but wasn't; a bride who found she had two instead of one; each has his or her story to tell to the judge. The bluebird who strayed from Louise Kniffing, a Los Angeles girl, will tell how Louise lost her husband at the altar, where as an innocent girl of 19, unused to the ways and wiles of a man with a maid, she became the wife of Frank Kniffing, of Salt Lake City. In this instance, the bluebird was second in getting away. Frank was first, having declared to his bride immediately after the wedding that "it was all a mistake." This was a year ago, Oct. 16, 1820, to be exact. Louise is one of four now seeking annulment of marriages in the superior courts of this county. Sidney Eggleston's bluebird took wing July 11, this year, when he learned that Ethel Knight, to whom he had been married for a year, was really the undivorced wife of George Black, of Detroit. The young rancher, shocked by his discovery, is making the court to annul his marriage to the girl, who is said to be residing in Newark. The third wandering bluebird was "given the air" by Maxine Schneip Reyna's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Schneip of Los Angeles, after Maxine had been snatched away from them by Clyde F. Reyna, who brot her to Santa Ana and married her. This happened Jan. 3, 1920, when Maxine was only 14, and the bluebird is still shivering at what Maxine's parents said to her when they got her home. Reyna, a Spanish boy, was 21. Annulment of the marriage, after nearly two years have elapsed, is now asked by Maxine. FRENCH AMBASSADOR DRIVES POPULAR CAR WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.—Here's a today picture of French Ambassador Jusserand—the man who will direct France's part in the armament conference after Premier Briand turns leadership of his delegation over to him two weeks after the conference opens: An old battered hulk of a flivver winds along in a zig-zag course down Pennsylvania-ave enroute to the capitol. Let us present no less a dignitary than the distinguished plenipotentiary from the republic of France. There seated in a rusty car of the vintage of probably 1509, and of the brand for which Detroit become more or less notorious, is Jules Jusserand, the French ambassador. Usually Mme. Jusserand is beside him. The sublime in democratic simplicity has been attained in that sort of sight. But it causes no worry to the dean of the diplomatic corps. Ambassador Jusserand is quite content in his flivver. All of the $10,000 limousines can shoot past him and the whiz disturbs him not one bit.

ROLLED STOCK DANGEROUS The third wandering bluebird was "given the air" by Maxine Schneip Reyna's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Schneip of Los Angeles, after Maxine had been snatched away from them by Clyde F. Reyna, who brot her to Santa Ana and married her. This happened Jan. 3, 1920, when Maxine was only 14, and the bluebird is still shivering at what Maxine's parents said to her when they got her home. Reyna, a Spanish boy, was 21. Annulment of the marriage, after nearly two years have elapsed, is now asked by Maxine and her parents, leading to speculation as to whether a new bluebird is hovering around. The fourth bluebird, that of Dolly Bentley, was turned out of its cage by Dolly herself. In her case, Dolly admits that when she married Earl F. Bentley, in Los Angeles, on May 16, 1918, she was already married to another man and had not been divorced. This admission of a bigamous marriage does not, however, subject her to prosecution, as the three years provided under the statute of limitations expired May 16 this year according to the date given for the marriage. The sublime in democratic simplicity has been attained in that sort of sight. But it causes no worry to the dean of the diplomatic corps. Ambassador Jusserand is quite content in his flivver. All of the $10,000 limousines can shoot past him and the whiz disturbs him not one bit. COATS BUT ONE SIDE An electrical process has been developed in Germany for coating only one side of a sheet of metal with tin. REMOVE BARREL HEAD A three-part barrel head has been patented which can be removed and replaced without injury to head or barrel. E. F. Bentley is at present a prisoner in the county jail, where he was sent May 24 for a seven-month term on slacker charges. He will be released Nov. 24 in time to celebrate Thanksgiving. Dolly has been visiting Bentley regularly at the jail, according to authorities, who say that she called on him twice the day that her suit for annulment was filed. A child is said to have been born to them since Bentley entered jail. ROLLED STOCK INDIANAPOLIS, undergarments, rollessively short skirts are exacting lives of American F.

Witman Eyeight CALIFORNIA Anaheim OPEN There Will Be There Will Be TWO Performances Doors Open at 6:30 o'Clock CHARLES R The Orange County Plain Dealer of Pioneers THE Dewitt Clinton, America's first and famous railroad train, came to Lansing recently to visit one of the first and equally famous REOS. The two quint but inspiring relies—to which transportation owes so much—are seen side by side in the accompanying view taken in the Michigan Capital. The REO shown is a 1906 model, according to W. E. Alexander, Jr., of the Alexander Motor Car Co., local Reo distributors, and is still running although there have been no mechanical changes made of any importance on it since the car left the factory fifteen years ago. The car is a one cylinder model and is kept on exhibition in Lansing. The DeWitt Clinton train and the old REO were photographed while the former was enroute back to New York after it had been shown at the Chicago Pageant of Progress. The DeWitt Clinton was built by the West Point Foundry, New York, in 1831. It was taken from New York to Albany by tow boat, arriving at its destination on July 25th. It was put on the road on July 25th and made its first trip on July 30th. The DeWitt Clinton, as first built, weighed only 6,758 pounds, but as remodeled the locomotive weighs 9,420 pounds. The weight of its tender is 5,340 pounds, and each coach weighs 3,420 pounds, making the total weight of the train 25,020 pounds. ROLLED STOCKINGS DANGEROUS, CLAIM ALL CRAFTS FIND JOBS OPEN HERE It's a long jump from the east, where cries are heard on every hand for jobs for the unemployment, to Anaheim, where there is hardly a man out of work, according to C. C. Concle, secretary of the local labor council, in commenting on a recent statement that the army of unemployed were beginning to invade Southern California. Practically every mechanic who is fitted for any of the various trades, can find ready employment here, it was said. Of course, Anaheim could not take care of an influx of outside labor, Mr. Concle added, but there is no reason why a local man who can qualify as a mechanic should be without work. Carpenters, plumbers, lathers and machinists are more in demand here now than they have been for several years. "The trouble with so much of this unemployment army," Mr. Concle declared, "is that there are so few of them who are really qualified for any particular trade. In spite of the fact that Los Angeles is supposed to be suffering from want of jobs for many of her residents, there are scores of jobs offered every day that go unfilled. I can take you to any headquarters of the various trade locals there and show you 25 to 30 orders a day for men, and the same thing can be done at nearly any employment agency." The local labor council is taking no stand for or against the proposed railway strike. According to the local officials the trade locals here will give moral support to any issue that is in the right, but are looking after interests here, and don't care to become mixed up in any 'omusses.'" HOBO BANDIT GETS PENNIES DENVER, Oct. 22.—Three pennies was the size of the haul made by a mysterious "hobo bandit" on a Burlington freight train, when he held up and robbed John J. Lardner of Kansas City, Mo., one of a gang of hoboes traveling toward Denver, according to a report made to Frank C. McCabe, a city detective at the Union station.

The Plain Dealer for Good Printing ROLLED STOCKINGS DANGEROUS, CLAIM INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 22. — Silk undergarments, rolled stockings, excessively short skirts and improper corsets are exacting a heavy toll in lives of American women, Dr. Geo. F. Fehrman, director of medicine for the National Missionary society of Berne, Switzerland, declared in an address before the American Association of Clinical Therapeutists, in session here. Silk undergarments for women do not offer sufficient protection, Dr. Fehrman said, "and the combination of rolled stockings and short skirts is almost an invitation to pneumonia."

Such is the conclusion reached from a study of a traffic census taken recently by the Bureau of Public Roads, United States Department of Agriculture, on one of the most traveled roads in the United States. If you want to go at an hour when there will be the least traffic, start between 2 and 3 o'clock in the morning. Traffic increases in amount steadily from Wednesday to Saturday, the census shows, and then jumps into big volume on Sunday. The volume on Sunday is about twice that on Tuesday or Wednesday. On Monday there is a decided drop from the Sunday figures and on Tuesday the lowest ebb is reached. There is less traffic on the road between 2 and 3 o'clock in the morning than at any other time of day. From 3 o'clock to 5 there is a slight increase; then a steady climb until 11. Between 11 o'clock and 1, there is a slight drop, and then an increase again until the peak is reached between 2 and 3. After 3 o'clock traffic drops slightly until 7, when the decrease becomes more pronounced. By midnight traffic has almost reached its lowest point. Ninety per cent of the day's traffic, the census shows, rolls over the road between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m., and 52 per cent between 1 p.m. and 8 p.m. STILL AND OWNERS NABBED IN CHURCH JOHNSTON CITY, Ill., Oct. 22—Even the sanctity of the church holds no scruples for the liquor law violators. Deputies raided an old church near here and arrested a man and a woman, both intoxicated. A quantity of "white mule" part of which had been imbibed by the arrested parties, was confiscated. Equipment for manufacturing the "mule" also was taken. The Plain Dealer for Good Printing.
