NEWS OF FULLERTON FULLERTON SCHOOLS BOOST HOTEL FUND HOLD FIRE DRILLS 25 PCT. LAST NIGHT Fullerton grammar school fire drill yesterday resulted in the school children getting out of the East Side school in one minute and 26 seconds. There are 413 students in this building, and the drill yesterday fell behind the record, according to the fire chief, R. L. Davis. There are 337 students in the West Side grammar school, and they got out within 48 seconds. There is only one story in this building, however, and they did not have to come down stairs a swas the case at the other building in many instances. The only danger in case of an actual fire at either building, would be that the children might stampede and pile over each other. COMPLIMENTED ON BIRTHDAY In compliment of her thirteenth birthday, Miss Sylvia Corona, celebrated the occasion with a birthday party at her home last evening. A beautiful birthday cake with 13 candles centered the dining table which was prettily decorated for the occasion with pink and white carnations.

Enjoying the evening were the honoree Miss Sylvia Corona and the Misses Zina Smith, Mable Wire, Cecil Davis, Eleanor Cox, Marjorie Robinson, Ina and Nola Shipley and masters Victor Dupuy, Carl Severson, James Stephens, Albert Dodge, Gordon Nelson, Collins Smith and Paul Taggart.

Eugene Durfee and Frank Benchley, architects, presented their plans, the specifications taking up 71 pages. The plans were inspected by the stockholders and approved without change. Mr. Chapman submitted a proposition that he would add $6,250 to his subscription if the other stockholders would increase their subscriptions 25 per cent, bringing his total subscription to $21,250, and the total hotel fund to $140,000.

PAUL, Jan. 5.—Can a man stick to a diet as zealously as a woman once she makes up her mind to get thin? Out in Oklahoma City a prize of $50.00 has been offered to the organization which can drop off the maximum number of pounds in a given period. The Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. have joined in a unique contest to capture it. The reducing classes and diet regimes are being zealously taken up by both Y. men and Y. W. girls. The total weight of the 32 Y. contestants is 7,780 pounds with an aggregate waistline of 1,080 inches, or almost half around the block. The average waistline among them measuring 45 to 50 inches. The ideal waistline figure is given as 28 to 30 inches. "It couldn't be any harder to keep girls away from sweets, gravy, potatoes or rich desserts;" says Physical Director C. W. Hunter, "than the men." GUIDE FOR AVIATORS The world's largest electric sign far measuring a quarter of a foot point to point that has not near London to guide night. NOTABLE SURGEON OPERATES ON BACON WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.—How Dr. Adolf Lorenz, one of the foremost surgeons in the world, found a "higher surgery" in becoming a "butcher" for the American Red Cross in Vienna came to light in a letter received by National Red Cross headquarters here from the famous surgeon, Dr. Lorenz did not gain the soubriquet of "butcher" by carving human being, but by turning his surgical skill upon bacon supplies sent to Vienna by the American Red Cross to relieve the hunger-stricken children of that city. According to Dr. Lorenz' own version of his unique experience as a "butcher", no delicate operation in his past brilliant career afforded him half the satisfaction he derived when he began to cut from the sides of American bacon rich, juicy slices of nutritious meat for famished children. The eminent surgeon's letter, written during the turbulent days that gripped Vienna following the war, vividly portrayed the pitiful plight of the starving children and the events leading up to his turning "butcher." "Terrifying as is the daily toll of victims in turberculosis cases," wrote Dr. Lorenz, "the fate of unfortunate youths of both sexes is even more so. These drag themselves along, crying out for help that nobody can give them, and this just because they are starving. INDEPENDENCE DAY The Canary Corners Clarion never failed to publish a eulogy of anyone of any note who appeared in that small village. So when the Rev. Mr. Johnson, a preacher of some prominence, elected to come there for a few days, it started its story in this way: "Dr. Johnson is among us for a brief season. He says and does exactly as he thinks right, without regard to the opinions or beliefs of anyone else. His wife is not with him." Get our prices before you buy FERTILIZER J. E. Schumacher Co. Phone 704 West Anaheim At the California Harrison Ford who supports Norma Talmadge in "The Wonderful Thing" Once more Norma Talmadge has turned to a famous stage success for a motion picture production, for her latest picture, distributed through Associated First National Pictures, Inc., which is the attraction at the California Theatre tomorrow, is the "Wonderful Thing," which was a most successful starring vehicle for Miss Jane Eagles on the stage. Miss Talmadge portrays the role of Jacqueline Boggs, the part played in the stage version by Miss Eagles. The action in the story runs from the ancestral home of the aristocratic English family to a hog ranch New York Letter by Levy Jensen Price It may be, as its critics say, that prohibition has dimmed the brilliance of four Great White Way. It is entirely possible that the more or less mystic realm is less intense than it was in "the old days." But it is certainly taking on size—length with a rapidity which needs no alcoholic stimulant. We won't be able to signify it much longer by the words, "Time Square." Away up to Ninety-sixth at it now makes its way, activity diminished even its gayety is somewhat modified. Perhaps the quick transit is responsible. Perhaps we really needed more room for our evening frivolities. At any rate, theaters are being built up in that Seventy-second-to-Ninety-sixth district, restaurants are blooming, and limousines are as crowded as in the songed and storied "Forty-second and Broadway" region. Eight million outgoing letter and half a million parcel post packages were handled in the New York post office one day before Christmas, establishing a brand new record for the city. Twenty-five hundred temporary clerks were added to the regular force for the rush season, and 414 motor trucks. Sixteen auxiliary stations were opened. It is surprising to hear that women of New York, and they may well be said to be representative of the entire country, do not "blow their own horns" enough. Miss Louise McMasters, head of the Employment Bureau of the National Board of the Young Women's Christian Ass'n, which places more than 70,000 girls and young women yearly, complains that this diffidence on the part of women is a handicap. "Women underestimate the difference between bluff and selfconfidence, between boasting and self-reliance. Nothing is more dangerous than a false impression. Yet women by bending WATER COMMITTEE TO MEET TUESDAY With the announcement by J. Frederick Ahlborn, of Anaheim, chairman of the water conservation committee of the A. C. of C., that he had called a meeting of this committee for 2 p.m. next Tuesday at the offices of the Anaheim Union Water Co., keen interest was revived in the several plans now under consideration for the adequate storing and proper utilization of Orange-co's flood waters. With the lessons of the recent storms still fresh in their minds, Orange-co citizens were determined to make the most of this opportunity and give every feasible suggestion the frankest consideration. Chief among the numerous propositions now before Chairman Ahlborn's committee were the "pit" plans of the sub-committee headed by F. D. Collins of Orange, and the proposal of C. E. Utt of Tustin that the county build a dam at Rincon for the storage and proper distribution of storm waters. At Tuesday's meeting it is expected that reports will be read by Collins, outlining the investigations his committee has made since the last meeting of the committee several weeks ago. The full committee is composed of J. Frederick Ahlborn; chairman; J. J. Dwyer, Bert Kuebler, W. C. Mauerhan, Anaheim; T. H. Covell, Dr. J. R. Scoffield, Buena Park; H. H. Dale, G. W. Sherwood, L. S. Stewart, Fullerton; A. N. Saxon, F. D. Collins, D. C. Drake, George Dierker, George Bates, Orange; H. W. Lewis, H. C. Head, Santa Ana; C. E. Utt, Tustin, John Dunston, C. J.Klatt, and others. Briefly stated, the plan suggested by C. E. Utt would follow the same general lines as in the construction of the Devil's Gate dam near Pasadena. Utt would build a dam at Rincon, near Prado, where the Santa Fe tracks cross the Santa Ana river. This dam, he suggests, should The California Theatre is presenting other features in conjunction with the offering of this feature picture, and the entire bill is replete with color and genuine entertainment. Charles W. Hawley is still at the Wurlitzer delighting patrons with his keen selection of musical augmentation to the showing of the feature pictures. REMOVE STUMPS To facilitate removing tree stumps from ground, either by burning or blasting, a motor driven auger has been invented that bores holes in them at any desired angle. MUST USE ELECTRICITY The French government has decided that electricity must be used for lighting all suburban railroad trains after Jan. 1, 1924, and for all trains a year later. INDICATES APPROACH A device has been invented with which sounds coming from behind an automobile are collected, intensified and delivered close to the ear of a driver. WORKS HORIZONTALLY An auto accelerator pedal patented by a North Dakota works horizontally instead of vertically, relieving the driver from keeping his foot in a strained position. A surprising to hear that women of New York, and they may well be said to be representative of the entire country, do not "blow their own horns" enough. Miss Louise McMaster, head of the Employment Bureau of the National Board of the Young Women's Christian Ass'n, which places more than 70,000 girls and young women yearly, complains that this diffidence on the part of women is a handicap. "Women underestimate the difference between bluff and self-confidence, between boasting and self-reliance. Nothing is more dangerous than a false impression. Yet women, by bending almost backward in their conscientious efforts not to make an overstatement, often bellittle themselves and handicap their own chances. A financial expert says that women are too timid about selling their services and that a woman presents whatever she is trying to sell in a small way. This is the direct result of a woman's sheltered life and lack of experience in financial matters." To bear out this fact it is cited that women are selected ahead of men for employment bureau heads. They realize the reluctance of their sex to "sell themselves" and will go further in digging out their real qualifications than will a man. The men are also inclined to judge too quickly from appearances. The Y. W. C. A. has been one of the few national organizations with a well-defined employment department for women, and has functioned consistently throughout the ups and downs in our employment situation. Nearly 50 bureaus in almost as many cities are maintained. That it knows how to meet the situation is demonstrated in the distribution of a poster, hung in the railroad stations through the country, urging girls to stay at home as long as the unemployment situation remains at its high point. Norman Trevor, who made such a capital prima donna's husband in "Enter,, Madame" last season, has produced another married problem play which has just opened at the Princess Theatre. "The Married Woman," Mr. Trevor himself plays the roll of Hugh Bellamy, who proves the "right" man, after "the married woman" has attempted matrimony with the wrong one. He is splendid, as always, and so is Margaret Dale, in the title role. The world of the theatre may pretend not to take too seriously the world of Society and its glitter, but I noted the line on the programme of "The Squaw Man"; "Diana, Countess of Kerhill—Julia Hoyt (Mrs. Lydig Hoyt)." The parenthesis was what attracted my attention. Evidently the world of the theater thought it will to add that Social Register touch whether it had anything to do with the playing of the part or not. Gotham is also interested in the announcement that Ethel Kelly Gould (Mrs. Frank Gould) will be one of the performers in an elaborate revue the Shuberts are bringing over from London, called "Pisis and Needles."
