CLUBHOUSE MARVEL First Meeting in Fine New Home of Local Lodge Planned for Dec. 14 The new clubhouse of local lodge No. 1345 of the Elks, at Sycamore and No. Los Angeles-sts, is rapidly approaching completion. The plan is to finish the building in time for the opening meeting on Dec. 14. Architect Frank Benchley is in general charge of construction. The unique feature of the building, aside from its fine proportions and up-to-date character, is the decorations, which with some variation are in Egyptian and Pompeian tones throughout. The lobby, which measures 40x60 feet, is in strictly Pompeian colors over Pompeian mortar and Roman gold. The ceiling is in a Tiffany blend. A fine big fireplace in batchelder tile is perhaps the most conspicuous object in the room. Exclusive Advertiser Makes Rapid Growth In this issue of The Plain Dealer is a four-page advertise-ment for Sebastian Bros. department store. This is one of the largest amounts of merchandise, advertising ever carried in one issue of an Amheim newspaper. Four years ago Sebastian Bros. opened up in Anaheim. Their aggressive methods soon forced them to move to a larger location which they now find none too large. As a big help in their expansion, they readily give credit to Plain Dealer advertising which they have used exclusively. BIDS TOO HIGH FOR NEW COUNTY JAIL County supervisors caught their breath and took under consideration for one week the proposition when they found the lowest bids opened today would run the cost up around $299,000. There were six bidders on the proposed four-story concrete building, ranging from $99,800 to $121,000.

Architect Frank Denchley is in general charge of construction. The unique feature of the building, aside from its fine proportions and up-to-date character, is the decorations, which with some variation are in Egyptian and Pompeian tones throughout. The lobby, which measures 40x60 feet, is in strictly Pompeian colors over Pompeian mortar and Roman gold. The ceiling is in a Tiffany blend. A fine big fireplace in batchelder tile is perhaps the most conspicuous object in the room. A mezzanine balcony opens upon the lobby. Adjoining are a good-sized writing room in putty grey stipple with cafeolait colored woodwork over glazed in old rose, and the ladies' room, also in cafeolait, but in blue with a delicate shade of illac. An old rose rug and lavender hangings feature the color scheme of both rooms. The lodge-room, on the second floor, which measures 60x80 feet, is in many respects the gem of all the rooms in the building. Blind windows, lighted from behind and composed of double plate glass, give a pleasantly homey effect. The ceiling is in an ivory shade graduated to an Egyptian grey with touches of pink. The walls are in an early Egyptian plaster effect finished with an overglaze of gold. The pilasters are also in a stipple of a different sort. The colors so reflect the light that none of it is lost. According to Herman Stern, chairman of the building committee, there isn't a lodge room like this between here and Vancouver. The seats and upholstery will be in gold and brown. The anteroom and cloak-room adjoining are in similar tones. The big billiard room in putty grey maramel, with painted walls over-mazeed and billiard cloth green color will help the members while away their leisure hours. In the basement is the banquet room, 60x80, with a stage 20x60. The procenium arch measures 26x14 feet. Spanish stipple with Spanish mottled colorings and woodwork of cafeolait enamel overglazed with old rose and handlighted with gold is the decorative scheme. The kitchen, which adjoins, is in white enamel. In the basement also are the handball courts, measuring approximately 30x100, and next to them the buffet. There are 15 bedrooms in the building, in single rooms with bath between and in suites. These bedrooms even now look nothing if not comfortable. The walls are papered. Thomas Haverty Co. of Los Angeles are the heating contractors. The blast system is the one used, with a fan for cold and hot air in the basement and another one, on the roof. There for. BIDS TOO HIGH FOR NEW COUNTY JAIL County supervisors caught their breath and took under consideration for one week the proposition when they found the lowest bids opened today would run the cost up around $299,000. There were six bidders on the proposed four-story concrete building, ranging from $99,900 to $121,000. This would not include heating and ventilating systems. 300 steel cells which would cost $70,000, elevator, plumbing and equipment and turnishings. Supervisors had planned to spend about $130,000 at this time and may decide to erect only two stories now, making walls sufficient to carry more later. Supervisors also took under consideration for one week bids on three miles of paving west of Garden Grove. Of the six bidders, W. O. Poter was lowest with $31,118.67 and M. S. Bruce next with $32,-112.03. Responsibility of these two contractors will be investigated within the next week so award may be made next Tuesday. It is proposed to widen the strip of highway to 18 feet, compared with 16 at present, and to increase the thickness of the pavement from its present four inches to six inches.

Mitchell Tells Kiwanis Club One Teacher Here Has 72 Pupils Warning of the need of a new elementary school building was voiced today at the weekly luncheon of the Kiwanis club in the high school by County Superintendent of Schools Mitchell. Anaheim faces the same problem as various other communities in the county, he said. In 1920 there was a twenty-five per cent increase in school attendance in the county, and 1921 would see a similar increase, he declared. Already from an emergency appropriation, Superintendent Mitchell said, emergency teachers had been appointed at Chihuahua City, Harper Fairview and elsewhere. In Anaheim, he said, he found one teacher with 75 pupils—altogether too many for one instructor. "The teacher is the school," said Mitchell.

When he saw them he almost died for joy, jumping upon them in most enthusiastic manifestations of canine delight. They expect to remain in So. Calif. for the winter. The dog shows signs of his wanderings, being extremely down at the heel, dirty and having a sore eye. WALNUT DIRECTORS SEND OUT CHECKS The board of directors of the Anaheim Walnut Grove Association.

Whittlesey, the hero of the "lost battalion," by his own act has penetrated behind the veil and gone to "the other side." He has solved the mystery of the identity of the "unknown soldier" at whose funeral he was a pall-bearer when all America turned out on Armistice Day and paid sorrowing tribute to the nation's nameless dead. Although the friends of the colonel in this city were shocked by the news that he had leaped to his death from an American Fruit Co. liner while en route from New York to Havana, they were not altogether surprised that he took his own way of penetrating into the hidden mysteries of the "great adventure."

TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR 'FATTY' STATE ATTACKS ARBUCKLE EVIDENCE WITH PICTURES SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 29.—Motion pictures—the bringing of an animated Virginia Rappe back from beyond the grave to accuse Arbuckle—were part of the plan of the prosecution today in its fight to break down the bastions of the defense and discredit the admittedly strong barriers which Arbuckle's own story have built. It was a part of the intention of the prosecution, according to report when court convened this morning, to project these pictures on the wall of the darkened courtroom and demonstrate by means of medical experts that certain actions shown in the pictures could not have been performed if Miss Rappe had been the victim of diseases from which the defense has contended that she suffered. There was a question, however, whether the animated evidence would be admitted by the court and it was certain that the defense would fight determinedly against it. In view of the possible psychological effect on the jury of the motion pictures showing in all the charm of real life the beautiful girl whom Arbuckle is accused of having killed. Wholly undaunted by the strong showing of the defense, the state this part of the defense that Miss Rappe did not receive her fatal hurts while in Roscoe Arbuckle's room. That much is admitted, but the story told by the commedian himself when on the witness stand yesterday—and which the full batteries of cross-examination failed to shatter—asserts that those hurts were the results of the accident with which he had nothing at all to do and for which he was not in any way at fault. The task which the state faced today was the refutation of this personal story of Arbuckle. The defense had been so skillfully handled that there seemed only a remote chance that the host of rebuttal witnesses which the prosecution had gathered to tell of other wild parties...

Col. sey, the hero of by his own art STUDY WATER PROBLEM The building or deep shafts lined with cresosot redwood to conserve water now running to waste was recommended by F. D. Collins of Orange, at a meeting of the general committee on water conservation appointed by the Associated Chambers of Commerce, held this afternoon at the Anaheim Union Water Co.'s offices. Collins explained the plan which he proposed at the previous meeting of the smaller committee. He said that more than three-fourths of the water underlying the Santa Ana valley now was being pumped out for irrigation and domestic purposes. He said that the next ten years probably would see a greater lowering of the water level of the valley than in the previous 20. The level, which is now about 86 feet below the ground level on the average, is the lowest for the period for which there is data, about 25 years. J. B. Neff of Los Angeles said that there had been times when in a single day of flood enough water ran to waste to the ocean to supply the county's needs throughout the entire year. He said there was no need to worry if prompt and effective conservation measures were taken, but it would be a different story years hence. Ten thousand inches of constant flow was coming out of the ground and used, he said. Neff is a retired grower now living in Los Angeles and was the pioneer pumper of importance in the county. The invited representatives of townna not already on the general committee were made members, as were several men appointed by the county farm bureau. H. W. Lewis of Santa Ana was made acting secretary of the meeting. Fred Ahlborn, chairman, presided.
