WOMAN AUTO AGENT HAS MADE SUCCESS
Hard work and the will to succeed, these are the fundamental demands for success. Hard work and plenty of it, a modicum of courage, a firm, unswerving determination — success is dependent upon these, but principally upon unceasing toil.
This is the statement of Lillian E. Yaeger, of Fullerton, who is probably the only woman agent for a recognized standard automobile and who is the proprietor of one of the most elaborate agencies, supply stations and garages in California.
On Jan. 27, 1914, at an age when the tenacity of the venture would have appalled most men, Miss Yaeger began her business career. Her capital was $71.85. But, with a sublime faith in herself and her ability, she borrowed $1,000. The $1000 she used as working capital. The $71.85 she kept in the bank. She still has the bank book which records that deposit and subsequent deposits of the business profits. Some of them are pitifully meager.
She retains it, she says, because she likes to look at it and visualize her early struggles and because, perhaps, she is a bit of a sentimentalist.
"I wouldn't take a great deal for this little book," she asserts.
Her first move was to build a motor supply station. Later she built a corrugated iron garage and repair shop and employed one man. His name is George Esmay. He still works for her.
Miss Yaeger lived next door to her garage. She worked without regard for hours.
"I not only worked eight and nine hours a day—I worked 20 and 24 hours," she says. "Sometimes I was called out in the early morning to tow a wrecked car into town. I always answered these calls. Occasionally when I got back in town it was time to start work so I went without sleep."
She was selling a well known make of automobile when an agent for a popular, medium priced car came to Fullerton. Two men, managing agencies for other automobiles, were striving for this agency. But they didn't get it.
"They gave it to me," Miss Yaeger
Are you tired of looking at pictures of starving children overseas?
Then rest your eyes on these happy, healthy girls and boys working in a school garden just outside of Grodno. They represent a part of the salvage. When the agents of the American Jewish Relief Committee found them they were suffering from malnutrition, incipient tuberculosis and other diseases incident to starvation. The relief workers took them out in the country, fed them and gave them a chance for life.
But they are only a few of the lucky ones. The soup lines are still forming. Thousands died before help the need exists for $14.
That is not the most that it represents rather the proclimate necessary relief is tinned.

New York Letter by Lucy Jeanne Price
A precedent which threatens a great danger to a good many homes has been established in Long Island. In fact, as one thinks over one's woman friends, half a dozen or more come to mind who might find themselves husbandless almost any day. For when a man tells his bride-to-be that he is only 52 years old, when as a matter of fact he is 67, she can have the marriage annulled, on the ground of fraud. So decided Supreme Court Justice McCrane in the case of Mrs. Charles F. Wille against her husband. Of course, the same rule would hold where the woman was the misleader in the case.
Over 350 million is the estimated cost of running the city of New York next year. The board of estimates the other day adopted the proposed budget of $357,967,007.09 for 1922.
Tally is an urge for cooperation owning on the part people of this country, which may be due either to the generally increased rentals or to more study of cooperation as it has worked out in other countries.

Much has been vouchsafed her; she ranks high in the list of the wealthy in Orange county, but this she says, is due to no especial talent, and she is borne out by her statement that she began her business career in 1914 and it was not until three years later that she could get credit. This because she is a woman. She says simply.
"I worked hard."

the need exists for $14,000,000 more. That is not the most that can be used. It represents rather the least sum that can be asked if the program of absolute necessary relief is to be continued.

HOUSER PREACHES ON CHURCH UNION
Rev./John T. Houser, pastor of the First Christian church of Fullerton, preached last evening on church union in which he urged that all the churches of Christendom unite into one church, which, he said, will release a lot of preachers for foreign work, and keep down the duplication of work in various fields. He said that the preachers of the various denominations are practically airlift peachin ghe same thing, and that if union were brot about, which he declares is surely coming, there need but be one preacher in a town like Fullerton, and the other preachers would be released for work elsewhere, and the money thus saved could be put to other good uses.
He gave five reasons why, in his opinion, the various denominations shopid unite. First, he said it is Scriptural that Jesus prayed that His people might be one; second, he declared it is the only business way; third, he said political and social conditions demand it, that there are 60-000,000 people in the United States who have no home church and 20,000-000 boys in the U.S., who never set their foot within a Bible school; fourth, he affirmed, the extension of the Kingdom demands it, if the world is ever to be converted to Christ; fifth, conformity to God's plan demands it. He declared that there are places in China and India where missionaries will not be admitted if they come in the name of creed, but will be if they come only in the name of Christ.
AUTO VIOLATORS FINED
Judge French of the Fullerton police court was a busy man again this morning, being troubled by violators of the traffic laws. He collected $20 for the city. Wayne Watkins of Fullerton and A. W. Berry of Glendale, were charged with driving without a tail light. They were fined $5 each. J. M. Bowman, of Fullerton, and Vernon Ohmit, of Glendale, were fined $10 each on the charge of speeding.
TAYLOR INFANT SECCUMBES
Funeral services were held this afternoon for the infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Archie Taylor, who died at 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon at the home of its parents nora hansen station. Rev. Jesse N. Blakeley officiated. In tement was in the Anaheim cemetery. The baby was about a week old.
Towns and villages where typhus is raging because the war destroyed their water and sewage systems are being aided in re-establishing at least a minimal sanitary service. Bath houses are being rebuilt and deluxes stations and sanitary laundries opened so the people can escape from the filth and squalor which not only impairs their own existence but forms a breeding place for epidemics that may easily overlap national boundaries and sweep the world.
The contributions made by Americans are being supplemented by generous gifts from European sources. The countries aided are slowly recuperating, and as they do so they take over the maintenance and operationally built apartments are a creation of the past five years and their number is increasing amazingly every year. The first effort to build a great hotel on this same cooperative plan has proved equally successful. The first big hotel in America to be financed without the aid of banks is the Commonwealth which is being built on Broadway, and which already has 26,000 owners. All its owners are shareholders in the enterprise and their confidence in its success is assured by the fact that they have already invested more than $3,000,000 on which no interest is to be paid until the hotel is completed and running. The building will, of course, cost much less than it would if the money had been obtained otherwise. W. J. Hoggson, a veteran builder, planned the financing.
Now the laundryman is going to college to study washing as an applied science. The Laundry and Allied Industries Board of Trade of Greater New York has announced courses of 12 weeks to be given under the guidance of Prof. E. P. Holder, bachelor of chemistry of Yale university.
They are planning now to tack six miles of territory onto Manhattan Island. Everybody knows we are too crowded, most of us that we would just have to keep on being crowded-er and crowded-er and build higher in the air; because after all an island is an island and as our landlord has so often and eloquently pointed out to us, how can rents EVER come down; regardless of what's happening elsewhere, when you can't spread out any without dropping overboard? Now then, tho, they say it can be done. Engineers are planning to run the island right on out into the bay for six miles, by filling the water up with sand. It sounds like a pretty big job, and they admit it will be the biggest undertaking of generations. But what could be more worth whole generations of undertaking than the enlarging of Manhattan's opportunity to house the country? The present plan is to extend Broadway six miles down the bay and then carry it by tunnel to Staten Island and continue it on down to the farther end of the island. Wall-st would no longer be the way to the down town district of the city, then, and the Manhattan City Hall would become the geographic center of Greater New York.

CARNIVAL OF HIGH CLASS ATTRACTIONS
Betty Compson and Milton Sills in a scene from the Paramount Picture "At the End of the World."
A regular carnival of high class attractions is scheduled for both the California and Fairland theaters here starting Tuesday, according to Managing Director Jack Retlaw. Both theatres are showing unusual features, and deserve much commendation for the program to be offered.
The outstanding feature of the California will be Betty Compson, celebrated film star in "The End of the World," a wonderful photodrama. Miss Compson won everlasting fame for her great portrayal in "The Miracle Man," but many say her acting in the picture coming here tomorrow is even superior to that in "The Miracle Man."
She is supported by an exceptionally brilliant cast, and the entire picture is worth while in every way. Aside from the feature, other good attractions including Gilbert, noted
MURDER CASE LOOMS IN CIRCUS BATTLE
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 14. A murder charge loomed today in the case of Thomas Madden, alleged to have fired the shot which caused the death at San Bernardino of William Owen, a participant in a fight on a circus train Saturday. Madden claimed he fought in self defense. Sheriff W. A. Shay of San Bernardino county, said that 100 shots were fired by negroes and whites while the train was running between San Bernardino and Colton.
ATTORNEY ASKS WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 14. Mrs. Madalynne Obenchain's fight for an immediate trial on the charge of having assisted in the murder of J. Belton Kennedy was today expected to be carried to the state supreme court by Charles Erbstein, her attorney.
Erbstein arrived in San Francisco this morning from Los Angeles prepared to make application in the supreme court for a writ of habeas corpus in Mrs. Obenchain's behalf.
EPENDITURES IN THEATER'S COMPUTED
CALGARY, Alta., Nov 14. More than $1,000,000 will be spent in Alberta by theatergoers during the present year. This statement is based on the revenue received from the theater tax in the province recently. Last year the revenue amounted to $190,000, while this year's figures are expected to equal that of 1920.
HIGHWAY LITERALLY PAVED WITH SILVER
SEATTLE, Nov. 14. Motorists passing along the Washington state highway between Valley and Chewelah, 10 miles north of Seattle, like the chariottiers of the ancient Persians, Syrians and Egyptians, are literally driving now over a silver highway, which, were it run through the mill, would not thousands of dollars worth of silver bars, according to authentic reports.

The outstanding feature of the California will be Betty Compson celebrated film star in "The End of the World," a wonderful photodramma. Miss Compson won everlasting fame for her great portrayal in "The Miracle Man," but many say her acting in the picture coming here tomorrow is even superior to that in "The Miracle Man."
She is supported by an exceptionally brilliant cast, and the entire picture is worth while in every way. Aslide from the feature, other good attractions including Gilbert, noted vaudeville violinist-headliner will present some of his great selections. Other offerings will also feature this bill.
The Fairyland will offer a great double program. Probably the most unusual feature will be the famous Charles Chaplin in his newest comedy, "The Idle Class." This is surely a laugh-maker if there ever was one. As enormous throngs are anticipated, everyone is urged to come early and avoid the last minute rush.
The other attraction will be the big Paramount picture entitled "Experience" with a wonderful all-star cast of celebrated players. This is unquestionably one of the greatest bills ever presented in Anaheim.
