SANTA ANA LEGION CHECKS UP RAFFLE "Officers of Santa Ana post, American Legion, have made no effort to interview the Stern brothers," said Maurice Enderie, post commander, today. "The records are what count, and all of the records that the Stern brothers had were taken from them and turned over to the district attorney. Our post will begin work at once upon these records, comparing them with the tickets we found in the raffle box. S. M. Stern and J. M. Stern were returned to Santa Ana last week from Salt Lake City, where they had been arrested on a charge in connection with the theft of a Premier car. "The principal thing we expect to get from the records is a list of places at which raffle tickets were left by the Stern brothers for sale. They gave out tickets here and there all over the county to various ex-service men to be sold, some of them members of our own post. The Stern brothers did not collect all of this money before they got out of the country. We have received about $40 cash from men who sold tickets and who had not had a chance to turn the money in to the Stern brothers. "We expect to have a complete list of all ticket holders. When the money is all turned in, and the tickets left with ex-service men are all reported upon, the post will be in possession of facts to make a definite statement of the situation."

Results Count Unknown Hero Brot Home for Burial WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.—America's unknown hero, who left his native land aboard a crowded transport, came home today as the guest of honor on board the most famous warship of the United States navy—Admiral Dewey's flagship Olympia. When he left the shores of North America he was an insignificant and unknown unit among 6,000,000 men. Today he is still unknown, but insignificant no longer—he lies in state as the embodiment of the American spirit of patriotism, the self-sacrifice of man for country and the unselfishness of voluntary death that others may survive. HASTENS TO MARRY, SEEKS ANNULMENT Harry Serracina, butcher, wooed, won and wed all in one day. The girl was Nora Artles Hammers. They met in Los Angeles June 23. They obtained a license and were married in Santa Ana the same day. The groom was 17 but he gave his age as 21 when the license was issued, while his prospective bride of 16 years told the license clerk she was 18. Serracina is now seeking annulment of the marriage. One of the reasons is that his wife is rated as a mental 9-year-old by the Whittier State School for Girls and another is because she is now in the Convent of the Good Shepherd. The youthful butcher's advice to others who would marry on short acquaintance is: "Don't do it!" BUILDING PERMITS F. J. Cooper, alter dwelling at 507 E. Odele-st., cost $50.

UNSALABLE WOOL USED IN COMFORTS WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.—The fact that much wool has proved unsalable except at a loss has caused many farm women to consider the home utilization of some of the wool on hand. Home demonstration agents from the United States department of agriculture and the agricultural college gave a demonstration on washing and carding of wool for comforters at a club meeting in Silwash. As a result women all over the county have become interested in making wool comforters, and it seems as if there would be enough made to supply an entire future generation.

FOR DISARMAMENT WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.—"Japan is going thru a fearful financial depression. Conditions are much worse than in this country. The Japanese are looking to the results of the conference on limitation of armament as one of the ways to industrial revival," says Dr. Hiromiichi Kozaki, formerly president of the Federation of Churches in Japan. He was sent to this country by the Japanese churches as an unofficial representative and observer of the conference on limitation of armament. Dr. Kozaki describes himself as a "go-between." Japanese churches acted, it is understood, with the approval of the Japanese government. He is in New York conferring with officials of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America on cooperation between the religious elements of both countries for prayer and educational work in behalf of the conference. "Were the matter put to a popular vote in Japan the nation would greatly curtail its armament program and put the money into education and railroads and good roads," he continued. The only trouble between Japan and America is that the people do not understand each other. They are ignorant of the real situation. Believing this, the Japanese Christians have sent me to America to learn the American viewpoint and to report back. As soon as we reach a full understanding, suspicion will be removed. "At present amongst the unthinking of Japan there is great suspicion against the U.S. It is feared that she seeks not only to dominate Asia but also the whole world. It is said by these people that she dominates South America and seeks to dominate Asia, beginning with China, and then the world. Because of these fears Japan is spending more than 400,000,000 yen a year for armament.
