AUTO DEALERS ARE OPTIMISTIC George Dunton, Ford and Fordson distributer, the only Anaheim dealer to attend the state convention of the Calif., Auto Trade Assn., was back to his desk today. He and Mrs. Dunton were entertained in the home of George Haberfelde, Ford dealer in Bakersfield, who, as president of the state association, acted as chairman of the convention. Dunton states that the convention was the best he has ever attended, with about 100 representatives from all over the state. There was a large array of prominent speakers, including Carl Rosenberg, president of the Los Angeles Sales Managers' Assn.; Ray Sherman, representing the National Assn. of Accessory Jobbers, and L. H. Bennett, "business doctor." Sherman gave a highly enlightening lecture on the right and wrong way to give service to the customer, graphically illustrated by special movies. "The dealers displayed a spirit of optimism, while conservatism must be the order from now on, and no expectation of such wild buying of autos as was experienced two years ago," says Dunton. "The used car business, while al-while more or less of a thorn to the average dealer, doesn't seem to be bothering dealers so much as it did six years ago. The dealers are not accepting them now except at a fair price. "I was pleased to note that the dealers are becoming better business men; that apparently the day of the fly-by-night dealer is passing, which will be a good thing for the car owner and the industry." Other Orange county dealers at the convention included Otto Hahn, Bob White, Robt. Atkinson and E.L. Matthews, president of the Orange-co Auto Trades Assn., all of Santa Ana.

Mr. Hoover took up with the Soviet authorities the question of establishing the Food Remittance system; they agreed it offered the quickest and most satisfactory solution of the problem, and remittances have been going forward in great numbers for the last several weeks. The sender can make his application either in person or by mail to the Russian Department, American Relief Administration, 42 Broadway, New York. He will then receive a blank to be filled out according to instructions, and he must return it to the A. R. A. with a postal order, certified check or express company check. The Food Remittances are forwarded to Moscow and from there distributed to the various A. R. A. warehouses nearest the homes of the recipients, who are notified to come and get the food. For each $10 remittance there is delivered to the recipient in Russia a far greater quantity of flour, condensed milk, beans, rice, hominy, cooking fats, sugar, tea or cocoa than one could purchase at retail in America and send to Russia. In addition, the American Relief Administration assumes all risk until the food is actually delivered to the recipient at the warehouse door. BURY UNIDENTIFIED MAN UNDER 2 NAMES DENVER, Colo., Dec. 8. — Buried under two names "to make sure!" But now the authorities say that they're not certain he was either. A gray-haired man dropped dead in a rooming house. Coroner Thomas Hunter took charge of the body. The landlord said he did not know the man. There was only one clue to his identity—that was a tag sewed inside his coat. There were two names on the flag: J. R. Brvan, agent, and R. F. Tobin, customer. SEEK TO SAVE MAN FROM ACID SCARS LOS ANGELES, Dec. 8. — Efforts to save the injured eye and to eradicate facial scars sustained by Olai R.

Successful results were anticipated. Lee continued in his refusal to prosecute the woman, who is generally understood to be his wife. K. OF C. ISSUE 1ST HISTORY BULLETIN The first bulletin in the Knights of Columbus "History in the Making" program has been issued by the Supreme Directors of the organization. It is entitled, "The Hughes Plan, World Peace and China," and was prepared by Edward F. McSweeey, chairman of the Knights of Columbus Historical Commission. This commission was appointed at the annual convention of the Knights in San Francisco last August. It believes that members should be supplied with the information necessary toward creating a public opinion which will help lay the foundations for a permanent peace. The bulletin contends that "should the proposal of Mr. Hughes be adopted, then Great Britain would continue what she now is: the premier na- Plan, World Peace and China," and was prepared by Edward F.

It believes that members should be supplied with the information necessary toward creating a public opinion which will help lay the foundations for a permanent peace. The bulletin contends that "should the proposal of Mr. Hughes be adopted, then Great Britain would continue what she now is: the premier naval power!" "The solution of the problems of the Pacific are to be found only in China's independence and integrity, the peace of the world depends upon what is done with China by the Washington conference." SAN DIEGO WANTS COAST LEAGUE TEAM SAN DIEGO, Dec. 8 — San Diego is determined to break into the Pacific Coast League with a first-class aggregation of baseball players. San Diego wants good baseball, according to the sporting writers here, but does not want to pay high prices for poor exhibitions of a municipal team. Good crowds are always on hand for the games, no matter what they are. That makes fans throut out the city all the more anxious to have a real team with real competition. An offer for a franchise is already before the directors of the Pacific Coast League. The first games would probably be played in the stadium and a ball park would be erected later. Austin's—308 E.

Ernest Welsh, of Hull, claims to have discovered a metal with the transparent properties of glass which he proposes to use in the construction of aeroplanes. Mr. Welsh is of an inventive turn. During the war he experimented with anti-Zeppelin rockets, submarine signals and silent guns. Since then he has marketed a device to improve the lighting of ships and a system of gassing rats. 600 EXPECTED AT BIG CHARITY BALL Upwards of 600 Masons and their wives and sweethearts will gather at St. Ann's Inn in Santa Ana tonight at a big charity ball, given for the purpose of raising funds with which to distribute Christmas gifts and aid to the worthy poor of the county.

R. L. Bisbee of Santa Ana is chairman of a committee which will send out letters to the masters of all the county's Masonic lodges, asking them to report the names and addresses of needy families. The Masonle charity will not be confined to families or relatives of Masons though they will receive first attention, but distributed to worthy poor in general. D.
