The Orange County Plain Dealer An Independent Newspaper, news Every Afternoon Except Sunday R. W. HERMST, Manager PAUL V. HESTER, Editor Subscription rate—In North America per year $9; $1x months, $1.25. Measured at the Postoffice of Anaheim, Calif., as second class matter. Some persons, after long years in the school of experience have not learned the alphabet of wisdom. That disquieting navalization claim put in by France seems to be in the nature of a bargaining device. Land in California should be owned only by Americans or by those who are eligible to become Americans. The truth about Russia is, that the masses of Russians should know more of the truth about their own country. The expayers will dreadnaught when a permanent naval holiday is established with no more building of dreadnaughts. The more intensively Latin American is cultivated by American business men and manufacturers, the greater the crop of trade for America will be gathered in that rich region. The foreign delegates to the Arms Conference have been in Washington several weeks, and no dapper, oleaginous scoundrel has succeeded in selling any one of them a controlling interest in the Washington monument or a lease on the White House. It is not necessary to print pages of testimony and far-fetched "developments" in a murder trial like that now on in Los Angeles to give the real news of it. The rist of the testimony and of each day's actual developments can be given in comparatively little space. This is the real news. Printing of pages of it is a pandering to propriety, whether in the United States government is to extend substantial aid to the suffering people of Russia. Appropriation of $20,000,000 is to have final approval of Congress soon. The measure authorizes the president to expend this $20,000,000 in the purchase of corn, seed grain and preserved milk to feed the famishing in Russia. The distress in Russia is so acute: the lives in peril of starvation are so numerous that this big-hearted nation and people could not witness the tragic spectacle without giving of American bounty for the rescue of the famishing. This is unqualifiedly commendable. No voice should be raised against it. But, supplementing this generous work, Congress should turn sympathetically to the relief of disabled and needy American veterans of the World War. Ample provision should be made for their care, comfort and sustenance. At the same time helpful attention should be given to the adding, in reasonable measure of American World War veterans not physically disabled but, who need loans or other business like forms of assistance in acquiring homes. Congress should also take cognizance of the widespread distress prevailing in some centers of population, due to unemployment. The national government cannot and should not, of course hand out money or direct material assistance to anybody and everybody financially embarrassed. This would be paternalism carried to the Nth degree of folly. But in such measure and in such way as the federal government may co-operate with state, county and municipal governments in ameliorating privations due to unemployment or to other RUSSIAN RELIFF SOON, AND FROM AMERICA The United States government is to extend substantial aid to the suffering people of Russia.

The mist of the testimony and of each day's actual developments can be given in comparatively little space. This is the real news. Printing of pages of it is a pandering to pruriency, whether intended to be so or not. The naval holiday will remove all temptation from any nation to attack the United States. The United States retains enough naval power to defend itself successfully, were it attacked, and with its limitless resources, it soon would add tremendously to its naval strength. This Nation is not going into this project blindly or foolishly. It has its eyes open. It is not putting itself at the mercy of any nation. Congress should also take cognizance of the widespread distress prevailing in some centers of population, due to unemployment. The national government cannot and should not, of course hand out money or direct material assistance to anybody and everybody financially embarrassed. This would be paternalism carried to the Nth degree of folly. But in such measure and in such way as the federal government may co-operate with state, county and municipal governments in ameliorating privations due to unemployment or to other forms of misfortune this good work should be done. Help the sufferers in Russia. But do not forget or neglect the helpless sufferers in America. Christmas buying is in order. Conditions are the same this year as in all years, as to the manifest advantages of buying far in advance of the holiday. This conduces to comfort of the buyer, enables the purchaser to obtain the choice of goods and makes the task of the salespeople lighter.

Center St. Phone 166 New York Letter Not long ago the town was stirred by discovery of ironic gargoyles about our churches but it was left to a newspaper man to find things of interest at the city hall, of the same sort. Of all the buildings which grace New York undoubtedly the finest specimen of architecture from every viewpoint is the city hall. There is something almost spiritual and ethereal about it as it rears up in the center of the great number of garish skyscrapers. I love the city hall. If more people would go and look at it instead of gazing on the dingy buildings of Wall-st and getting their happiness out of that of the money bags stored within they would realize that New York as a city stands for the finest and best in architecture. Mind you, this does not take into account what may happen in the city hall, but in the old adage "Out of a house like that good things cometh." Frederick W. MacMinnies, who did much of the exterior decorations, had his little poke, however, and is perpetrating them yet further in the fountain in the park which is now almost completed. Prominent in the decoration is the dolphin motif. The artists have never told us why dolphins invariably depict an uncompromising estrangement and consequent unholly bridge between the dolphin's upper and lower lips. They always smile, like the rest of the poor fish of the world who don't know enough to keep their mouths shut. These leering heads are called most everything, preferably "dawfin" and one man lost considerable time figuring them out when in answer to his query as to what they were, he understood their title to be "damfinos." The business of launching has been revolutionized by the little holes in the wall which have sprung up all over the busy sections of the town. It is doubtful whether anyone ever sits down to terrapin or other lunchcon daity any more. One "runs in" and "grabs off" a tongue sandwich and a chocolate soda, and with this substantial assurance faces the last But along comes Samuel Goldwyn with an announcement that is causing no end of concern among people who have never conceived of themselves in this business. Mr. Goldwyn is out "scouting" for new faces. He is passing over the plentitude of faces in his own companies to meet what he holds to be the present day need in the films. That is not beauty, but expression, according to Mr. Goldwyn. He has his "face scout" work in the "bush league" territories. Perhaps you did not know you had a "camera face." Late instances in the industry have proved that not ordinarily considered beautiful, nor indeed the ordinarily conceded competent, can get over in the movies. Mr. Goldwyn is even willing to "sponge off" old faces from the screen. He believes there should be more variety and has convinced him stunning list of writers, among them Basil King, Kathleen Norris, Mary Roberts Rinehard, Gouverneur Morris and Rupert Hughes, that they should write scenarios and prepare the continuity of pictures which will bear up the demand for the "new face." The next time you are being looked over by someone do not put it down to imperience. It may be Mr. Goldwyn's scout. There is no excuse for the struggling artist being without inspiration and success even in the crowded field of this community. I know a little girl who despaired of trying to paint the "infinitude of nothingness" as represented by a green beetle and an old banana skin and decided she might find something in the churches, which would permit of expression of her "artistic feeling." She made a tour of the old ones and struck off a few careless pencil sketches and with them as a basis went inside and heard the services and the ministers who presided there, and found that there was something curiously consistent about the exteriors and the interior messages. And she wrote an article about it, including the sketch- UNION'S SANTA FE SPRINGS WELL UP Santa Fe Springs The Santa Fe Springs operations of the Amalgamated Oil Co. includes two wells, Delugge No. 1 at 2000 feet in blue shale and Butterworth No. 2 at 2375 in blue shale. Butterworth No. 1 is holding steadily at 360 barrels, gravity 35. The Central Oil Co. has spudded in and is drilling. Los Nietos No. 1 of the Central shows 435 feet. At Bermudez No. 1 the Fullerton Oil Co. shows 1000 feet of hole and the drilling going very smoothly and nicely. The General Petroleum Corp. has extensive plans for Santa Fe Springs. Springs No. 1 is rigging up the rotary, Santa Fe No. 1 has spudded in and made 675 feet of hole. Santa Fe No. 2 and 3 are building rig and the lumber is on the ground for No. 4. The Nevada-Venture Oil Co.'s making hole in the blue shale at 2165. Drilling is going exceptionally good with electric motor. Drilling at Bell Community No. 1 the Petroleum Midway No. 1, now shows 800 feet in the blue shale. Blue shale is also the Scientific's formation at 2100 feet. The Standard Oil Co. set 10-inch and cemented the Browning-Kellar at 3145, L.A.T.&S.No.1 is drilling at 3050. Hepler at 2300, Pacific Oil Products at 3055,Sanchez at 2200, South Whittier Community No.1 at 2100 and No.2 is a rig.Wolfskill No.1 is at 2800 feet. The Shell Co.'s Golay No.1 at which the largest shaft drive rotary ever built is running, shows 1000 feet in the hard sand shale. The efficiency of the extra heavy rotary is yet to be determined. The Wilshire Oil Co. spent the past week bailing down and locating the point of entrance of the water in the deep Meyer well and preparations to cement are underway and will be carried out as soon as The business of lunch has been revolutionized by the little holes in the wall which have sprung up all over the busy sections of the town. It is doubtful whether anyone ever sits down to terrapin or other lunch-eon dainty any more. One "runs in" and "grabs off" a tongue sandwich and a chocolate soda, and with this substantial assurance faces the last half of the day. But I saw yet a new one the other day. A young mother, with a baby in arms, stopped in for her noon-day sustenance, and while sucking in the charged water said, "I do wish I had some way of heating the baby's milk. I have to hustle across to the other station to make my train and it is high time he was fed." Whereupon the mice approned young man said, "'I guess I can fix that, if you will give me the bottle.' While she was drinking her soda the clerk took one of his clean milk shakers and filled it with hot water, then he immersed the baby's bottle in the water, and by the time the soda was finished the milk had reached the desired temperature. And baby had his, too. Any moving picture producing concern which can achieve the variety and quality which has been characteristic of the Goldwyn Productions would seem content with their record.

Clementine, Anaheim Phone 240-M ANAHEIM FEED & FUEL COMPANY Hay, Grain, Seeds, Poultry Supplies Fertilizers, Wood, Coal, Sprays and Insecticides Public Weigh Masters 15-ton Scales Anaheim California The girl who despaired of trying to paint the "infinitude of nothingness" as represented by a green beetle and an old banana skin and decided she might find something in the churches, which would permit expression of her "artistic feeling." She made a tour of the old ones and struck off a few careless pencil sketches and with them as a basis went inside and heard the services and the ministers who presided there, and found that there was something curiously consistent about the exterior and the interior messages. And she wrote an article about it, including the sketches, and today it appears in one of the est magazines in the country, showing that after all there is a great deal in the fundamentals which we pass over so easily. Take a little squint at your town churches and you may find them typical of what goes on inside, and sometimes comes out. People go in for bears on Wall-st of course. But imagine the consternation of a certain stock broker in the district when one of his luncheon companions at the Bankers' club announced that he was going around the corner to buy a mule. The broker thot it was a drink at first, and wanted to know where he could get it. But his friend replied that it was a live mule he was after. It seemed that his wife was crazy to have a mule for Christmas, and he set out on the trail to find one. He inquired at a little animal store where they kept small monkeys and a tiny South American honey bear, birds and things, and was told to come to the back of the shop and there among the furred and feathered strappers, blinking cats and sprawling pups, the salesman introduced him to a few mules. The broker insisted on taking it lightly, and said: "By the way, while you were there did you see a good pair of house-broken elephants?" But his friend went on undaunted and told the rest of his story. It seems that the mule in the canary family is a cross between the English canary and the goldfinch, and as the mule is the most celebrated hybrid in the four-footed kingdom so is the bird the best hybrid in the feathered world. It is the best singer that hops about on two legs. Its color and size come from the English strain and its song from the musical little goldfinch. The result is a beautiful bird and a wonderful songster. How many people knew they had a "mule" in their homes?

DEVELOP ORE BODIES AT DEEP LEVELS KINGMAN, Ariz., Dec. 29. — Develoment of ore bodies at depth, rather than at shallow levels, is the new program in force at the majority of the mining properties in the gold camps at Katherine and Union Pass. Such campaigns are now in force at the bonanza Katherine mine, at the Million Dollar Gold Chain mine at the Adams mine, at the Treasure Vaylt mine, at the Illinois Katherine mine and at the Katherine Rand. Development below the 100-foot level in the winte on the 400-foot level in the Katherine mine, has however, been held up for a considereable period by the wrecking of the 225 horse power pneumatic en-gine which had just been installed. It will, however, probably be several months before the immense Katherine vein can be developed at deeper levels. HARDWOOD FLOORS A. B. RICE Floor Co. R. J. Olindt, Local Mgr. 610 E.
