TWO KIWANIS CLUBS JOIN IN LUNCHEON The feature of the joint luncheon of the Fullerton and Anaheim Kiwanis clubs at the Odd Fellows' hall over the First National bank of Pullerton today was an address by S. C. Hartranft on education in general and the problems which confront America and the world. Mr. Hartranft referred to the observance of educational week thruout the United States. He declared the government would not set aside a week for this purpose unless there was a reason for it, and that the government did not have in mind taxes, educational academies, and such things. He said the government is doing this because education is about the only channel through which the dangerous forces that are undermining the very fabric of our civilization can be combated. He referred to the "no accident" week which exceeded in the number of accidents any previous week, and said he hoped the observance of educational week would bring better results. He stated it is an era calling for every force possible to stem the tide of viciousness that is creeping in on every hand, and it is fitting that we may be called upon to do everything possible to help in the upholding of the standards of purity and patriotism. He said that to do so we must bring in the teachings of the lowly Nazarene. He called attention to the fact that a college president in Oregon has gone out to lecture the country in behalf of the I. W. W., and that this is the first time in history that such a thing has ever occurred. He said that thinking men everywhere are awaking to the fact that there is something wrong. The teaching which this college president has gone forth to uphold is that "property is theft," and he declared that we are called upon to educate our children and friends against such things. He called attention to the ever-increasing crime wave, and that little heed paid to the laws upon the statute books. He criticised the teachers for not setting a better example, and said that those whose influence is bound to be felt one way or the other should take every precaution in their words and acts.

He criticised the teachers for not setting a better example, and said that those whose influence is bound to be felt one way or the other should take every precaution in their words and acts. The little things are what counts, he said. He pointed out that people are trying to live above their means, and that economy is something that is seldom practiced any more. He called attention to three suicide cases in the morning papers caused by the despondency on the part of the self-murderers because they were unable to keep pace with their set. The tide of the day is against the best instincts of the human race. He told of how when a boy he was at Parah at the mouth of the Amazon in South America, and that he was told of the fight between the tide of the river and the tide of the ocean. It would gradually gather, and be as smooth and calm when gathering as could be desired. Then finally there would come a time when it must break one way or the other. The animals would all know by instinct when that would occur and would flee away. Then when the break would come there would be an awful roar, and the scene that followed would be indescribable, something that no ship could live thru. He likened that to the vicious tide now quietly gathering, and which must break some time. But, he added the Amazon is still flowing towards the sea, and just so the teachings and the church of Jesus Christ shall stand forever, and the home is bound to prevail in the end. There were about 34 members of the Anaheim Kiwanis club present. Fullerton Kiwanians were invited to Anaheim next week, and the invitation was accepted. At the opening all the men sang "America," and thanks were returned by Dr. J. A. Glessinger. William Wickett later led in the singing of "My Kiwanis." The Anaheim octette also sang two songs. Prof. L. E. Plummer was in charge of the program, and the new Fullerton Kiwanis officers, installed at the last meeting were presented. They are: Stanley Chapman, trustee; Dale King, first vice president; William Wickett, second vice president; C. R. Montague, chaplin; Dan O'Hanlen, secretary. Henry Adams, president of the Anaheim club, was called upon to tell where that 40 per cent of Fullerton's business that Anaheim is getting is going to. Mr. Adams confessed his ignorance, but announced that Bishop Burton Stephens will speak at the meeting of the Anaheim Kiwanis club next Tuesday. Rev. G. R. Messias, secretary of the Anaheim club, also gave a short talk. NORTHERN FLOODS CONTINUE RISING SEATTLE, Dec. 13.—Rivers continued to rise today, additional railroad trackage was washed away and general flood conditions became more difficult. As reports come in from outlying districts it appears that at least 15 persons have lost their lives, in landslides, wrecks and high water. A number of others have been injured and property damage will run well over $2,000,000. Added to this is the prospect that the worst is yet to come, as the warm rains continue to melt snow in the mountains and the streams leading down into western Washington are all out of their banks and have still to carry the crest of the flood waters. A number of smaller towns have reported serious damage. L. B. WOMAN FACES TRIAL FOR MURDER LOS ANGELES, Dec. 13.—Claiming that she shot her husband while under the influence of narcotics given her by a physician to relieve illness, Mrs. Pearl F. Garth, young wife of R. L. Garth, well-to-do real estate dealer of Long Beach, was to go on trial before Judge Avery today charged with an attempt to murder. The shooting followed a separation between the woman and her husband, and took place on Sept. 1 at American and Ocean-aves, Long Beach.
