FULLERTON LEGION PLANS FOR PARADISE Attention for the paving of Chartree-st. and various alleys, involving the reshuffling of previous legal procedure and necessitating its repetition at considerable delay and expense. City Atty. Ames declines to accept the responsibility. He says it has not been his practice to check up printers and that his responsibility ended with the turning of the copy over to the city manager's office with instructions ane to size of type for caption. City Manager Steward says it is difficult to place the blame for the mistake, although he agrees it is not Ames'. "The copy with a sample of an old card was given to The Herald, the old card being for style of type necessary for caption," says Steward. "Instead of following the new copy, the printer set the caption on the old card, and it was not detected until the cards had been posted, invalidating the whole procedure." It is known that several taxpayers have been inquiring of city council if The Herald was to be paid again for running the legal advertising after making necessary the repetition by originating the error.

TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR ATTY DEFENSE CLAIMS HE TRIED TO AID WOMAN WHO WAS SICK SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 25.—Here is an outline of what Roscoe Arbuckle will swear to when he takes the witness stand in his own defense in the effort to clear himself of the charge of manslaughter in connection with the death of beautiful Virginia Rappe. He probably will be the final witness for the defense and in all probability will not go on the stand before Saturday or Monday, as there are 10 witnesses from Los Angeles to appear and a number of additional medical experts to testify before the comedian himself will be ready to face the merciless cross-examination which he must undergo after he has told his own story to the jury. A verdict is expected by Tuesday. Arbuckle, when he goes before the court, will set up the contention he was alone with Miss Rappe in his room at the St. Francis hotel, where the fatal "party" was staged, only 10 minutes. He will say he followed her into the bedroom and locked the door only when he saw she was ill and his sole purpose was to "take care of her" and protect her from the eyes of others until he could get her "straightened" NEED MORE PEP IN RED CROSS DRIVE According to Chairman Victor La Mont, the local Red Cross drive for membership in the Fifth Annual Roll Call this year has proven a failure, up to date, but he finds it is not so much the fault of the people as the lack of interest and enthusiasm NEED MORE PEP IN RED CROSS DRIVE According to Chairman Victor La Mont, the local Red Cross drive for membership in the Fifth Annual Roll Call this year has proven a failure, up to date, but he finds it is not so much the fault of the people as the lack of interest and enthusiasm shown by the workers.

For the convenience of voluntary workers, the chairman has left receipts, window posters and buttons at the Chamber of Commerce. It is requested that all books now filled, be turned in at the Chamber of Commerce.
