WOULD ADOPT SONS ONCE RELINQUISHED In a petition on file today in superior court, Lester E. Barry, of Huntington Beach, seeks to adopt his own children, Nelson Wheeler Barry, 12 and George Leroy Barry, 10, whom he relinquished to the custody of their grandfather in 1915 after the death of their mother. Barry has now remarried and desires to regain possession of his sons. His wife, Adelaide Barry, joins with him in the petition for adoption and consent has been given by the grandfather, Peter Olsen, who has become a widower since he adopted his grandsons. Because of the grandfather's adoption of the two boys, the second petition for adoption was required, altho the petitioner is the real father of the two boys. James L. Hansen, Huntington Beach attorney, filed the petition in behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Barry. HELD HIS BREATH FOR FIVE MINUTES NEW YORK, Jan. 10.—M. De Lalyman, the Frenchman who is said to be able to remain under water long enough to shave himself, peel and eat a potato, and drink wine, appears to have brought the art of breath-control to a fine point. How long he remains under the water is not stated, but if he stays there longer than ten minutes he has certainly broken the breath-holding record. That belongs—or belonged—to a student of the Medical School of California University, who, in July, 1915, voluntarily held his breath 10 min., 10 sec. He was under observation the whole time. His breathing organs were connected with a kymograph, which would have recorded the slightest inspiration. INVEST $100 EACH IN N. C. GOOD ROADS KINGSTON, N. C., Jan. 10.—A per capita investment of $100 in good roads is the boast of Lenoin county, of which this town is the county seat. With a population of 35,000, the county's total investment in paved highway when its present program is completed will be approximately $2,500,000. This, it is believed, establishes a record. Every principal street in Kinston and every main road in the county, will be hard-surfaced when the program is completed a few months from now. The concrete-asphalt roads lead to the boundaries of six adjoining counties. A stretch of the Central highway, which is 520 miles long and extending from the mountains of Western North Carolina to the ocean, passes through the county, and this for a distance has been converted into a memorial avenue for local war dead. The avenue begins at the Kinston municipal limit and terminates at the grave of Richard Caswell, first governor of the state after the revolution. REALTOR'S LICENSES ISSUED RAPIDLY Local real estate dealers have been advised as follows by E. T. Keiser, state real estate commissioner: "The state real estate department is issuing licenses at the rate of 1000 a day and all brokers and salesmen who have applied will shortly receive their licenses. As nearly all applications for renewals were received between Dec. 28 and Jan. 1, the office has a volume of unfilled work. All licenses will be dated the date the application is received and for the next fifteen days the fact that a license is not on the wall will not be evidence that the dealer is not licensed."

Palm, Anaheim Phone 553-W "The Line Is Busy" "The Line Is Busy" When the telephone operator tells you "the line is busy," this fact has been made known to her by an electric signal. With the thousands of calls in daily telephone traffic, if the operator, to secure this information, were compelled to listen on the line of the party called, prompt service would be out of the question. This delay is eliminated by an electric device which in the fraction of a second automatically indicates that the line called for is in use. When "busy" reports are repeated on successive calls for the same number, it is generally due to an immoderate use of the called line. The length of a telephone conversation is obviously beyond the control of the telephone operator. Have confidence in her when she makes the report; the line is busy." The Orange County Plain Dealer NEW HAT FASHIONS HAVE ALTITUDE IN FRONT The popularity of the leather facing on velvet has carried it into the spring and here is shown a successful combination with straw. Like the drum major in the parade, is this feather effect on Milan straw, with satin binding. A crown of straw and a brim of feathers in loosely drawn strands make up this charming little hat. A feature is the disk of straw which adorns the peak. FIRST NAT'L DOES FINE ADVERTISING The First National bank, celebrating a year of very flattering growth, is mailing to patrons and friends an attractively printed four-page statement in detail, showing combined resources with American Savings Bank of $3,387,271.74 for Anaheim. On the front cover is a picture of the bank building with these lines: "Anaheim, home of the valencia orange, in the famous frostless belt, garden spot of California, rich in history and romance, blessed in climate and resources." On the back page is the following: "Anaheim, Orange county—Some 1921 Figures in Dollars: Oranges and Lemons, Four Million—(three thousand carloads); Walnuts, One Million; Sugar, Four Million; Meat Packing, One Million; Bank Deposits, over Five Million; Building Perfumes, One Million; Building Permits." HIS BUSY DAY I looked at a tongue; then fitted some teeth, And bound up a leg that was broken. I cut off some ears and directly beneath. I took out a heart as a token. Next I stopped at a house (for I work very fast). And cursed an old hen 'till I shocked her. Yet not with the criminals can I be classed, Nor am I a dentist or doctor. For I fitted the teeth in a harrow, you see— And the tongue was but part of a wagon. The leg of a ladder—it happened to be, And the "ears" on a cornstalk were saggin'. I cut the heart out of a melon to get The seeds. And the hen?—I'd not harm 'er! DENY OPPOSITION TO SEWER BONDS Rumors that those who were opposed to the creation of the offices of city assessor and tax collector in Santa Ana would conduct an organized fight against the proposed issue of boids to install an outfall sewer to the ocean are without foundation, according to statements today by at least three of the men who were known to be opposed to the council in suggested institution of the offices. All of them agreed that the outfall sewer is essential to the future growth and development of the city and an imperative need at this time from a sanitary standpoint. "I have not discussed the band proposition with others and know of no attempt to organize a campaign against the bonds," said Henry Yount. "I have not made up my mind yet as to my personal attitude."

Turner, against whom a charge of passing a fictitious check for $25 was filed some weeks ago by Frank Musselman, Santa Ana restaurant keeper, is held in custody at Riverside, it was learned today by the Santa Ana police department. At the same time it was revealed that Turner would probably not be turned over to the local authorities for prosecution. He is facing a more serious charge, that of writing checks and also of highway robbery, it was stated. DEPEND ON FARMING About 72 per cent of the population of India is dependent in one way or another upon agriculture. Yet not with the criminals can I be classed. Nor am I a dentist or doctor.

I cut the heart out of a melon to get The seeds. And the hen?—I'd not harm 'em! I simply was peeved that she wanted to set. For I am an every-day farmer! —Justin Nutt in Orchard and Farm. "RAINING CATS AND DOGS" BY SWIFT NEW YORK, Jan. 10. — Swift is said to have originated the saying, "Raining cats and dogs," in old verse—at least, so some say. But there is also another version. In Northern Mythology, Odin, the God of Storm, is said to have possessed a dog. This was a sign of wind. Cats, as well known, are more or less affected by rainy weather. Thus, when rain falls pussy gets frisky. Consequently, in talking of it "raining cats and dogs," which literally, is of course unheard, the significant meaning is: Wet weather (as far as "cats" are concerned) and howling winds (which the "dogs" denote), or "trains and winds." While on the subject of cats and dogs, it is interesting to know that there is said to have existed at one time a species of "meow-less" felines. They could not, we are told, give nightly concerts on the tiles if they tried! Such dumb cats would be welcome pets in our households today! ASK RED CROSS TO HELP FIND BROTHER SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 10. — The American Red Cross is searching for Richard Dean Stanton last seen at the Presidio, San Francisco, in 1917. His sister, Mrs. J. H. Massi, formerly of 224 Missouri street, San Francisco, now of 929 N. street, Freano, has brought her request to the Red Cross in hope that someone may be able to locate him. She believes he was discharged from the Army at Camp Merritt, New Jersey. Stanton is 25 years old and when last seen weighed 160 pounds. He has light brown hair, gray eyes and fair complexion. He is 5 feet, 10-in. in height. He was born in Texas and was drafted in the Army from that state. Any news of him may be sent either to his sister or to the Pacific Division office of the American Red Cross, Civic Auditorium, San Francisco. MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS Read This Letter from Mrs. W. S.

Store Hours, Except Sunday 8 to 12—1 to 5:30 Special Appointment By Request PLEDGES AID FROM CALIF. FOR KIDDIES PASADENA, Jan. 10—Sunny California is fairy godmother to hundreds of hungry little refugee children through the cold winter in the historical old city of Tiflis, Southern Russia. During the past summer a refugee feeding station was opened in Kirochny Garden, one of the largest public parks in Tiflis. One thousand refugee children were fed bread and cocoa once a day under the supervision of Theodore Elmer of Dalton, Mass., a relief worker stationed there. This one meal was all that the children had, and meagre as it was, it suffled to keep them alive. Late last summer, E. Guy Talbott of Pasadena, Pacific Coast Regional Director for Near East Relief, visited this particular station along with other members of a commission sent to inspect the work and to report back to America. At this time, owing to the scarcity of funds at the command of the relief agency, Mr. Elmer learned that the Garden would have to be abandoned and the children turned out. The situation was so distressing that Mr. Talbott came to the rescue and pledged that the charitable people of California would see that the rescue station was kept open. Details of this work of mercy in which Southern California especially is interested were told today by Mr. Talbott, who says: "When this rescue station was about to be closed, and the little children abandoned to their fate, I thought of California with all its blessings, where a shortage of food could hardly be conceived. Finding these hundreds of little folks utterly dependent upon America, I felt that my own part of the country would not fail, and so I guaranteed that adequate support would be forthcoming and the work could go on. "A large building has now been secured, rent free, from the local government, and through the Near East Relief, workers are now giving the children a full meal once a day, and within the shelter of the building, is teaching them useful trades so that they will soon become self-supporting." NEW TRAILS TO MT. WILSON SOON LOS ANGELES, Jan. 10.—Despite the complete abandonment of new trail work plans owing to the call for crews in repairing flood damage on mountain pathways, the United States Forest Service will construct the new four-mile route from Mt. Wilson to West Fork. District Forest Ranger William V. Mendenhall accompanied by "Fletch" Hayward Santa Anita Canyon ranger, left this morning for a trip of several days to the district back of Mt. Wilson, where they will make the survey and building plans. The Sierra club is co-operating in the work. Mr. Hayward reports that it will require a month's work in Santa Anita canyon to restore the trails to their former condition. HUGE SALARY IS PIPE DREAM NEW YORK, Jan. 10.—The reported $150,000 yearly salary, said to have been offered Postmaster General Will H. Hays, to head a National motion picture industry, is in reality less than $100,000 a year according to Variety, a theatrical magazine, today. The magazine further states that "effective notice has been served on politicians, both Democratic and those interested in the formation of a new party and the agricultural bloom, that a deal is on between those in control of the motion picture situation and the Republican party." S. A. MARSHALL MOVES City Marshal Sam Jernigan and his aides of Santa Ana were today operating from a new base, police headquarters having moved into new quarters at the city hall. In addition to the main office, there is a private office of the marshal, and a third room for conducting the office work of special investigations.
