BIG OPPORTUNITIES IN USED CARS NOW With the dollar buying mre auto mobile value in used cars than ever before in the history of the industry and the market well supplied with cars and tempting bargains the prospective purchaser will undoubtedly welcome a few words of advice on how to select a used car. There are just a few facts for the motorist to remember if he is to take full advantage of the extraordinary buying opportunities the used car market now affords," says Sam Hubble, local Paige dealer. "While it is generally known that now is the time to buy used cars, because the values offered are the greatest ever known, thanks to pre-war conditions and price readjustments, yet disappointment will result unless the purchaser remembers three things. "First, the car selected must be one made by a reputable manufacturer, whose product can be relied upon. It must be a good car in its class. Second, the condition of the car must be known. The purchaser must be sure of what he is buying and whether it will operate. Third, and perhaps the most important of all, he must buy of a reputable dealer who has a reputation to guard and protect, who will be in business tomorrow as well as today and whose guarantee of satisfaction means something. "The same common sense rules of economics apply to the purchase of a used car as to a new car. In other words, one must consider first cost, operating cost and maintenance cost; and unless the purchaser knows his dealer he is likely to fall down on all three." NORTHERN ORANGES HURT FROM FROST Damage to citrus fruit by frost in the northern California section—an open secret among growers—was most severe near Lindsay, W. H.

The explosion created a vacuum and smothered the flames. Workmen immediately hurried forward and began the task of shutting off the escaping gas before it again could be ignited. Officials of the Shell company estimated the damage to the well derrick and machinery at about $20,000. FINE VAUDEVILLE AT THE CALIFORNIA The acts which compose the Melklejohn and Dunn vaudeville road show which is coming to the Californiia Theater tomorrow are all headliners on some big circuit. For instance those wonderful Italian conciens and musicians, the De Michelle brothers have just completed their tour of the Pantages circuit, and it is only because their home is in California that they are able to appear in Anaheim. Their act is entitled, "Can't Keep 'Em Up," and it is a riot of laughter from start to finish. Another of California's favorite performers who has made good on the Pantages circuit, Agnes Johns, is appearing with her company in a most unusual dramatic sketch, "The Unexpected Witness." This is the sketch which has played the circuit three successive times and it is one with a strong plot full of novel twists and turns. Medley and Dupree have a neat collection of songs, steps and stories and as singers and dancers they will find few equals. Aerial acts are quite common but the Dalsos are bringing a new wave with them from Australia. FORCE MADLY ON STAND FOR A night trip by the elderly Glen may be proper torneys for Arthur C.

NORTHERN ORANGES HURT FROM FROST Damage to citrus fruit by frost in the northern California section—an open secret among growers—was most severe near Lindsay, W. H. Schureman, manager of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Association, said this morning. Schureman has just returned from a trip of several days covering the district about Plano, Porterville, Lindsey, Visalia and Exeter. At the same time, he said he saw some extremely fine navels at Plano and also at Edison, some twenty-six miles from Bakersfield, where he stopped. The exhibits, also, at the San Joaquin Valley fair in Visalia are highly predictable, he declared, and the attendance good. Around Lindsay much of the fruit is so badly bitten that it has had to be packed under trade labels instead of a Sunkist, etc. Fruit at Porterville and Plano is not so badly affected. But there are plenty of trees in all sections touched by the frost. Shipping will be finished from the northern district this week. Schureman took the ridge route by automobile. At Bakerfield temperatures ranged from 26 to 29, he said, while he was there. Temperatures of 29 to 31 were recorded at the Government experiment station, twenty-six miles from Bakersfield.

His body was then riddled with bullets. Haackney is said to have shown no regrets for his alleged crime and to have been "game" to the last. He attempted to joke with the crowd and requested that his hands be tied so he would not "fight the rope." ENTERS BUSINESS IN L. A. The many friends of J. L.

Medley and Dupree have a neat collection of songs, steps and stories and as singers and dancers they will find few equals. Aerial acts are quite common but the Dalsos are bringing a new act with them from Australia which they call "A Whirl, a Thrill and a Beautiful Girl," and in this act they feature their famous death glide. Harvey and Lewis are two clever entertainers who will amuse the audience with their comedy act entitled "We Can't Help It." The feature photoplay for this program is "The Servant in the House," which is a picturization of the famous play of the same name.

Los Angeles, Anaheim Phone 713 FORCE MADLYNNE ON STAND FOR BURCH A night trip by the jurors to Beverly Glen may be proposed by the attorneys for Arthur C. Burch, on trial for the murder of J. Belton Kennedy, in an effort to disprove the testimony of Mrs. Elizabeth Besenty, who testified for the prosecution as an eye-witness to the shooting, it was learned today. Defense Attorney Schenck, it was stated, contends that it would have been impossible for Mrs. Besenty to have seen the flash of the second shot fired by Kennedy's slayer, as she claimed in her testimony. By having the jurors visit the scene of the crime at night and by placing them in the position Mrs. Besenty says she occupied Schenck hopes to refute her testimony. Coincident with the resumption of the Burch trial today and the probability that the jurors may make a night trip to the glen, it developed that a "show down" by Mrs. Madelyne Obenchain on the witness stand will be forced by the defense attorneys soon after they open their case. With Mrs. Obenchain on the stand before the jury Schenck will force the "showdown" by asking her questions. To follow the instructions of her attorneys, Mrs. Obenchain must then inform the court that she refuses to testify, invoking a section of the penal code which provides that a that a co-defendant in a case cannot be compelled to give testimony against his or her will.

The occupants were two men and two little boys. The children belonged to Dennis McCarthy and the other man, William Morris, was just a traveling companion.

CONFISCATE LANDS; FEAR TO PLANT CROPS LOS ANGELES, Dec. 14. — The Spanish government has recently protested to the government of Mexico against the confiscation of lands bought and paid for by Spanish subjects in Mexico. In spite of all protests, however, these confiscations continue. They form one of the reasons why the United States government has not recognized Mexico. The Mexican landowners of several states have also organized to appeal to the government. So uncertain have become land titles in Mexico that this year hundreds of thousands of acres of arable lands were not planted to crops for fear the land would be confiscated before the crops could be harvested. In consequence of the resulting crop shortage the Mexican government is this fall importing about five million bushels of corn, which was formerly the staple crop of Mexico. ORGAN DISCOVERED 2000 YEARS AGO LOS ANGELES, Dec. 14. — More than two thousand years ago a barber in Alexandria discovered that in moving his mirror air was forced through the tubes which were common in mirrors at that time. This caused a courious musical sound to be emitted. So struck was he by this peculiarity that he set about making an instrument which was the foundation of the modern organ. After several experiments he made a water-flute, in which air was forced by bellows through an inverted cone which led to flutes controlled by a keyboard, the pressure being kept uniform by water. After a thousand years a rival instrument made its appearance. This was of a similar pattern, but instead of water, weights regulated the pressure. 4 CZECH CHILDREN IN CITY SCHOOLS LOS ANGELES, Dec. 14. — Four little Czech children witness of the Juanita Lucille, spent some time early this week in Los Angeles.

Getty No. 1 had all the ear marks of a shut off at 2260 when the water broke in and spoiled the job. This well is giving a lot of difficulty to get a shut off. The well has made production showings sufficient to warrant a commercial producer as soon as the water can be successfully shut off. The Chino-Corona United is busy pulling out an $8 and a 10 inch string of pipe and will not be making new hole for several days. Drilled to 2703 the well showed a heavy oil, and deepening is hoped to locate a light producing sand. On pulling out the tubing and examining the pumping equipment at the Mahala well it was found that the lower standing valve was broken. The well has been averaging at the rate of a 165 a day, and a big increase in the average can now be expected. Drilling on No. 2 is now at 375. The Pomona Oil Co. now drilling at 3580, report a sand showing oil colors. The sand followed a long run of brown shale. The parting of the ten inch in the St. Helen's Garnier well at 2300 resulted in a delay in setting pipe and cementing. Part of the casing was fished out, the remaining is now being drilled up.

The girls had to play on a hardwood floor and they are unaccustomed to it. They played like regular troglodytes. The score was 40 to 22. Tustin had some visitors this evening after their school sessions were dismissed. The visitors were none other than the local boys basketball players. The locals expected to come home with the big end of the score. Miss Alice Bate of the faculty is back again at her deak after a severe cold which confined her to her home for several days.

The well was mudded up and resumed drilling. The blow-out proves that the formation carries lots of gas and the chances for a flowing well are good. Drilling on Doniusgue No. 1 is now at 2200 in sand and boulders. On the Petifills property the General Petroleum completed viewing up and starred drilling today. The Union Oil Co.'s Franklin No. 1 is now drilling at 3200 feet in Kentucky sandy shale. Drilling is going nicely and showings are encouraging. Sommers No. 1 at Gardena still stands idle at 4553.
