XAMINER—FRE phone 270 - J Anaheim THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Johnny Cake Marches to Rescue Above—Switching American corn for Near East by man power. To right—Armenian waif anxiously waiting for his piece of Johnny cake. A first aid to empty stomachs he has ever been. But as a life-saver Johnny Cake appears in a role strange even to those who have known him long and loved him well south of the Mason and Dixon line. For Johnny's now a relief worker. This startling news recently reached Near East Relief headquarters in New York from its agents in Transcaucasia. It was disguised in the terse announcement that the first shipment of American corn ever sent to the Near East has arrived in Armenia, where it was received with joy by a starving populace. Most of the shipment was made in the form of corn meal, to save space and freight charges. Among the relief personnel in the City of Alexandropol, where twenty thousand children are housed in American orphanages and where thousands more are reported starving on the streets, was a daughter of the "Old Dominion." It was she, with memories of a clubby childhood, who introduced Johnny to her young charges. As a result of that one shipment supplies had hitherto kept them out. But saving several hundred lives was not all that Johnny has accomplished," the director reports. "He Most of the shipment was made in the form of corn meal, to save space and freight charges. Among the relief personnel in the City of Alexandropol, where twenty thousand children are housed in American orphanages and where thousands more are reported starving on the streets, was a daughter of the "Old Dominion." It was she, with memories of a clubby childhood, who introduced Johnny to her young charges. As a result of that one shipment of corn meal the relief director for the entire Transcaucasian district informed relief officials at New York Headquarters that several hundred ragged, bunger-shrunken tots, none over five, were admitted to orphanages in Alexandropol and Erivan, where lack of sufficient supplies had hitherto kept them out. But saving several hundred lives was not all that Johnny has accomplished," the director reports. "He also demonstrated that the tastes of childhood are international. Never has a Virginia pickaniny swallowed pieces of Johnny Cake with more visible satisfaction than that which showed on the faces of these Armenian waifs, when they had their first taste of it." WATER LEVEL DOWN WITH LITTLE RAIN Producers of cereal crops, beets, hay and beans are becoming worried over the lack of rain upon which they depend to put the soil into shape for the next planting. Unless there is a rainfall this week, the total precipitation this year compared to last, from August on, will be more than 50 per cent less. Up to and including Dec. 19 last season the rainfall was 3.10 inches, well distributed throughout November and December and, to a less extent, in August and October. To date the total this year is only 1.43 inches, the result of two storms, one on Oct. 11, which yielded 1.16 inches and the second on Oct. 24..27 inch. The figures are those of the Anaheim Sugar company. Rainfalls last year, beginning in August, were: Aug. 15,.14; 24th,.08; Oct. 19,.45; 30th,.28; Nov. 6,.19; 7th,.40; 8th,.02; 11th,.02; 16th,.01; Dec. 3.,22; 7th,.07; 8th,.10; 12th,.27; 19th,.85. Fruit growers are affected only indirectly, because they can depend upon irrigation indefinitely. Nevertheless, because of the largely increased pumping water in the wells, as shown by the City Manager's office, is the lowest on record. On Dec. 1 at a level 87 feet below the ground the city well was lower than at any time since 1907. In July the level was 85 feet, in August 82½ to 83 feet and early in October, following the precipitation on Oct. 1, slightly higher. Another well on which the City Manager has kept tabs, with records reaching back to 1895, shows a level now of about 68 feet, estimated in part from the last measurements. CARELESS AUTOISTS CAUSE BAD FIRES CARELESS AUTOISTS CAUSE BAD FIRES Actual evidence that many of the disastrous forest fires raging throughout Southern California recently have been started by carless autoists has been presented to officials of the Auto Club of So. Calif., according to a report just issued. It is shown in a statement made by R. H. Chariton, forest supervisor, following the receipt of letters from E. E. Fairchild of Los Angeles that motorists who throw lighted cigars, cigarettes and smouldering pipe ashes out of their autos are responsible for some very bad fires. The Auto Club has been called upon to warn all autoists against the practice of throwing any ignited material out of their cars to the side of the road. While Mr. Fairchild was traveling along a popular southern California highway he saw an autoist toss a lighted cigarette out of the car ahead into some dry grass at the side of the road. Fairchild watcher the spark of the cigarette for a few moments and soon saw it fanned to a flame by the wind. He put out the fire and wrote immediately to Forest Supervisor Chariton. Chariton admits that one of the most common causes of forest fires is the carelessness of motoring parties, either in discarding lighted tobacco in any form or in leaving camp fires burning. Prosecution in most cases is difficult on account of not being able to apprehend the responsible parties. However, a rigorous drive is to be instituted at once throughout the California forest reserves against the type of motorist who causes fires which are rapidly making serious inroads on the natural water sheds of the southern part of the state. Therefore Auto club officials are issuing a state-wide warning to all motorists to watch their step in throwing away lighted cigarettes. INVEST MILLION IN MUSIC EACH YEAR "Santa Ana invests $1,000,000 a year in music" declared L. E. Behymer, Los Angeles impressario, at the Santa Ana Rotary club luncheon. "Is it good business?" asked the speaker. "It must be, if your city invests that much each year, as it does." Behymer's subject was "Good Music and Good Business." "Each must be good," said he, "else those having to do with them will merely run around in circles and die." Behymer opened his address with a tribute to the bigness of heart of Caruso, whose royalties he said under his second contract with the Victor Phonograph company came to $204,800, all of which was applied to charity. Instances were cited in which Behyme rasserted that commercialism goes hand in hand with successful art. "Santa Ana music houses," said he "sell an average of a piano a day. That is at least $150,000 a year. Outside music houses sell as much. That is $150,000 more. There are $160,000 worth of phonographs sold in the city every year, and no less than $168,000 is paid a year for music lessons. There are other items, such as the music departments in your schools. The total is a million." "I once heard Burns, the great ELKS WILL PLAY FAST NEGRO TEAM Another one of those lighting fast baseball games is offered local fans next Sunday when Anaheim Elks meet the Alexander Giants, champion colored, team of Los Angeles. This is the same team that played Anaheim Elka shortly before the Elks state championship battle at Santa Cruz. The nine colored flashes would give a Pacific Coast league team a battle any day in the week. The old reliable Harry Hughes will start the game for the Elks, Manager Billy Knott announced today. Both Hughes and Salveson have been working out this week. Bush, who was out of the lineup last Sunday with a sprained ankle, the result of indoor baseball, will be back at second. X-RAY FOR HOME USE For medical use French physicians have developed an X-ray outfit that can be used at a patient's home, being supplied with current by the motor truck transporting it, in which photographs can be developed promptly. detective, say 'Show me a city where there is good music in the parks, good music in the churches and schools, good music in the homes and I will show you a city where there is a minimum of crime.' 38—TIMELY SUGGESTIONS—38 — FOR — CHRISTMAS Flasnights Djer-Kiss Sets Pyralin Ivory Motor-Driven Vibrators $5.00 Roll-Up Manicure Sets Alarm Clocks Manicure Shears Cigars in Small Boxes Thermos Bottles Cigarettes in Cartons Thermos Lunch Kits Fancy Candy in Boxes Universal Vacuum Bottles Choice Stationery Universal Lunch Kits Military Brushes Aluminum Hot Water Bottles Combs and Brushes Hot Water Bags Playing Cards Waterman Pens Razors and Mugs Shaeffer Pens Safety Razors (All Makes) Ever-Sharp Pencils Lather Brushes Perfume and Powder Sets Colin Purses Package Perfumes Bill Folds Toilet Waters Star Vibrators Cameras Hamilton-Beach Vibrators Kodak Albums Magazine Subscriptions Electric Heating Pads Shaving Stands Heying’s Pharmacy “ON THE CORNER” Established 12 Years The Telephone Directory Good telephone service depends vitally upon care in calling telephone numbers. A wrong number called causes loss of time to you, to the party called and to the operator. Every instance means avoidable inconvenience to all concerned. It is not the loss of time to you alone or to the operator that concerns us most, but it is the annoyance to the party called. Your mistake cannot be explained to him, and the Telephone Company is held responsible for your error. Consulting the current issue of the telephone directory, instead of trusting to memory; giving your number clearly, and quickly correcting the operator if she misunderstands your call, will greatly increase the efficiency of the service.
