TELEPHONE ZONES Community Interest Would Determine Location of Exchanges, Says H. B. Woodrough Three exchange telephone zones would be created in the county, according to the plan proposed by Secretary H. B. Woodrough of the Farmers' and Merchants' Ass'n, at a meeting of the directors in Santa Ana last night. Final action on what plan would be adopted was put off until a more thorough investigation of conditions, financial prospects, etc., was made.

New Hotel Pleasant Now Open to Public In her substantial march forward the constantly growing city of Anaheim has added a new and modern hotel to her list of new buildings. This beautiful hotel is most centrally located in the new postoffice building at West Center and Clementine-sts.

B. Woodrough of the Farmers' and Merchants' Ass'n, at a meeting of the directors in Santa Ana last night. Final action on what plan would be adopted was put off until a more thorough investigation of conditions, financial prospects, etc., was made. Woodrough's method of determining the zones is according to community interest and density of population. Existing telephone lines would be leased or purchased in territory outside the cities, and trunk lines would be created to connect the three changes so that every member of association could talk with every user. To reach the incorporated town or city agreements would be made with existing telephone companies for connections by payment of a regular switching charge each month. In case lines outside of incorporated communities could not be purchased, Woodrough proposed that the association itself construct whatever lines were necessary. He estimated the annual cost at $21 for each telephone, after an original cost of $125, which Woodrough figured would cover maintenance, depreciation and replacements. The obstacle in the way of immediate action appeared still to be the matter of financing new construction work. This was the objection raised when the Supreme Court decision permitting the association to operate on county highways was first announced. ASKS DIVORCE FROM HUSBAND IN PRISON Frank William Johnson was made defendant today in a divorce action brot by Doris Johnson.

RAISE JEWISH RELIEF NEW YORK, March 14, 000,000 sought by the relief of Eastern Europeering from famine, program has been raised, according nouncement by David A Detroit, national chairm AIN DEALING NEWSPAPER OF NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY Anaheim, California, Tuesday, March 14, 1922 OBENCHAIN NEW SCHOOL MUST BE BUILT 500 New Pupils Have Been Enrolled Since Opening of Term Last Fall Anaheim grammar school board today was laying plans to call a bond election for funds with which to construct another building of at least eight rooms to help take care of the greatly increased enrollment. There have been 500 new pupils enrolled since the present term opened last fall. While a school teacher is supposed to have her hands full with 35 pupils, many of them have 50. The board has not yet decided what type and size of building will be constructed but plans will be announced as soon as the site is decided upon. While apparently the most logical and economical solution is to build a new school, Anaheim is in need of more homes. The shortage in housing is acute. Investment of savings in home-building will be a great stimulus to local industry and trade. Let us then make the coming week one of the greatest in our local history, that we may report to the people at large in the State of California that our fair city of Anaheim has done its bit in providing needed homes to meet the ever increasing demands by homeseekers for residence property in California. PROCLAMATION Own Your Own Home and Build Now Week, Starting Sunday, March 19, 1922. By William Stark, Mayor of the City of Anaheim Whereas the Governor of the State of California has issued a proclamation, calling upon the citizens of this great state to observe the week of March 19, 1922 as Own Your Own Home and Build Now Week, I take this opportunity to urge upon our own community hearty cooperation to our fullest extent through our local realty board, chamber of commerce, financial, industrial, building and housing organizations, and all civic, religious, fraternal, social and other bodies to make this grand statewide campaign a complete success. Our community is in need of more homes. The shortage in housing is acute. Investment of savings in home-building will be a great stimulus to local industry and trade. Let us then make the coming week one of the greatest in our local history, that we may report to the people at large in the State of California that our fair city of Anaheim has done its bit in providing needed homes to meet the ever increasing demands by homeseekers for residence property in California. I deem it a great pleasure and honor to commend the work of the Anaheim Realty Board for its splendid service to our community, and to also congratulate the California Real Estate Association for its patriotic zeal and unselfish interest in advancing the cause of home ownership throughout the fastest growing state in the union. Done this 14th day of March, 1922. ITALIAN BOY, TWO, KILLED BY TRAIN Roy Andrioli, two-year-old Italian boy, was run over and instantly killed yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock by the San Diego train about three-quarters of a mile west of La Mirada. The child strayed onto the track from its home a short distance away. The body was badly mutilated and bones broken. The skull was laid open and part of the brains knocked out. The father and mother are well-known in that immediate vicinity, living in a two-story house near the scene of the accident. Funeral parlors where it is now being held. RUNAWAY BOY BACK HOME HERE TODAY Sam Frazee, the boy who ran away with "Bill" Scully a few weeks ago, returned to his home at 315 South Helena-st today, none the worse for the adventure. He denies that he started for Florida, as Scully was quoted as saying they would, or that his father beat him, as Scully allowed himself to lay down plans to call a bond election for funds with which to construct another building of at least eight rooms to help take care of the greatly increased enrollment. There have been 500 new pupils enrolled since the present term opened last fall. While a school teacher is supposed to have her hands full with 35 pupils, many of them have 50. The board has not yet decided what type and size of building will be constructed but plans will be announced as soon as the site is decided upon. While apparently the most logical and economical site is that facing Broadway and connecting with the Fremont school grounds, because of the objection of nearby property owners, the board is making efforts to find a suitable location. The board is finding objections, however, from residence property owners, no matter where they turn. We must have a new building by next fall, or we are going to be absolutely up against it," declared a trustee today. "We hope to be able to determine upon the location within a few days and then immediately to take steps to call the election so that the funds will be available at the earliest possible moment for the building. We have funds in our treasury for the purchase of the Broadway site. Other suggested sites will take more money and would require issuance of bonds. Commenting on the need of more school buildings, a school patron stated his boy has been shifted around six times in 18 months. "That isn't fair to the boy," said the father. "The rooms are all crowded and the teachers have more than they can handle." SOCIAL WELFARE SLOGAN "Prevention and constructive social welfare" are the watchwords now, as "rescue and cure" were years ago, Dr. John T. Miller of Los Angeles told Kiwanians at their lunchcon meeting today in the Elks' Clubhouse. His topic was "Conservation of Human Life." Miller is editor of The Character Builder and psychologist for a commercial school in the metropolis. The study of human nature has spread rapidly the past few years, said the speaker, and he was interested to see how salesmen applied their knowledge of human nature differently with different individuals. In the academic world the questions asked are "What college did you graduate from?" and "What are your degrees?" In the business world a man is asked "Do you know how?" and "Can you be trusted?" Miller said that the juvenile courts of the United States in 1921 had 175,000 wards. He himself has done much work among juveniles, with whom he declares constructive welfare work should begin. He has been employed to study boys and girls in institutions of three different states. Evil is due to the misuse of powers in themselves are good, he declared. People who make mistakes do not act wilfully, but as often as not through ignorance. Cooperation now is abroad in the land, and organizations like the Kiwanis and Rotary clubs are working for civic betterment. Each human being has 42 different powers, said Dr. Miller, and the joy which comes from the proper and harmonious use of these powers constitutes the greatest reward of life. Each individual has three sets of organs, the nutritive, those connected with the framework of bones, and the brain and nerves. There is direct relation between physical and mental traits. Some of the top notch inmates of the Whittier reform school, he said, had been considered sub-normal before their entrance. The reason was housing is acute. Investment of savings in home-building will be a great stimulus to local industry and trade. Let us then make the coming week one of the greatest in our local history, that we may report to the people at large in the State of California that our fair city of Anaheim has done its bit in providing needed homes to meet the ever increasing demands by homeseekers for resilience property in California. I deem it a great pleasure and honor to commend the work of the Anaheim Realty Board for its splendid service to our community, and to also congratulate the California Real Estate Association for its patriotic zeal and unselfish interest in advancing the cause of home owning throughout the fastest growing state in the union.

In the academic world the questions asked are "What college did you graduate from?" and "What are your degrees?" In the business world a man is asked "Do you know how?" and "Can you be trusted?" Miller quoted Oliver Wendell Holmes as saying that each man is an omnibus in which he carries his ancestry. Hence reformation of human nature must begin with the children, and even then the full results will not be evident for five or six generations. This is laying the foundations for true conservation. Providing the right inheritance and the right environment are the true methods of conservation of human life. Already eugenics is helping young people to make most of themselves. Miller said he had talked with children of six years and found them able to appreciate that a certain facial expression meant one sort of feeling or disposition, another a different one. There were 110,000 divorces granted in the United States in 1921; said the speaker, and this showed that domestic life among Americans was seriously disturbed. In the study or human nature psychology is at the bottom of it all. Human types are indicated by physical characteristics. For instance, eyes close together indicate a secretive, laconic disposition, such as belongs to the politician. In Portland, he said, he found 60 per cent of 11,000 young men who had been placed in positions disaffied with their work.

With him went a small army of movie men who had hoped to snap the ghost. SHORE SUED BY WIFE LOS ANGELES, March 14. Mrs. Harriet Ida Shore, wife of Thomas E. G. Shore, member of the State Board of Control, has brought a counter suit for divorce against him, alleging that she had suffered grievously in mind due to her husband's treatment. RAISE JEWISH RELIEF FUND NEW YORK, March 14.The $1400,000 sought by the Jews for the relief of Eastern European Jews suffering from famine, programs and war has been raised, according to an announcement by David A. Brown of Detroit, national chairman. Each human being has 42 different powers, said Dr. Miller, and the joy which comes from the proper and harmonious use of these powers constitutes the greatest reward of life. Each individual has three sets of organs, the nutritive, those connected with the framework of bones, and the brain and nerves. There is direct relation between physical and mental traits. Some of the top notch inmates of the Whittier reform school, he said, had been considered sub-normal before their entrance. The reason was that they were of deliberate type who made good mechanics and farm employees. They illustrated the problem of hitching the boy to the right job. A man he knows has a chart on the wall of his home showing where there were 110,000 divorces granted in the United States in 1921, said the speaker, and this showed that domestic life among Americans was seriously disturbed. In the study or human nature psychology is at the bottom of it all. Human types are indicated by physical characteristics. For instance, eyes close together indicate a secretive, laconic disposition, such as belongs to the politician. In Portland, he said, he found 60 per cent of 11,000 young men who had been placed in positions dissatisfied with their work. Boys even in commercial schools were found watching the clock and not doing their best to get the utmost out of their courses. A rising vote of thanks was given the speaker at the conclusion of his remarks. OIL WELL AT NEWPORT The Foulkerson well at Newport was reported to have come in today at 775 feet. A steady stream of high gravity oil was said to be flowing from the well. There was much excitement at the beach city as it was claimed the well proves up the Newport district as an important addition to the oil fields of the county. The well is to the right of the bridge at the entrance of the city. It was started 18 months ago. The well is the property of the Pantages theatre at San Diego. CHILDREN'S BIG HOSPITAL OPENED CONSTANTINOPLE, March 14. The largest children's hospital in the world was opened at Alexandropol, in the Southern Caucasus. It is under the direction of Dr. R. T.

BE TRAYED HERSELF ON STAND, SAYS STATE LOS ANGELES, March 14.—Madalynne Obenchain manufactured her story of the murder of J. Belton Kennedy, but betrayed herself in "lapses of memory" which she underwent while she was on the witness stand, Deputy District Attorney Charles W. Fricke charged in his final argument to the jury in Mrs. Obenchain's trial on the slaying charge today. Fricke sought to tear to pieces Mrs. Obenchain's story of how Kennedy was killed. He declared that she led Kennedy into the "death trap" where she knew Arthur Burch was waiting with a shotgun to kill him. He declared that the actual way Kennedy was killed differed greatly from the way Mrs. Obenchain described. He contended that Mrs. Obenchain waited in the automobile and sent Kennedy up the stairs to his cabine in Orange County. VOTE 3 TO 2 TO UNSEAT MORRIS the slaying charge today. Fricke sought to tear to pieces Mrs. Obenchain's story of how Kennedy was killed. He declared that she led Kennedy into the "death trap" where she knew Arthur Burch was waiting with a shotgun to kill him. He declared that the actual way Kennedy was killed differed greatly from the way Mrs. Obenchain described. He contended that Mrs. Obenchain waited in the automobile and sent Kennedy up the stairs to his cabin in Beverly Glen alone instead of going up the stairs with him as she claimed. Mrs. Obenchain's story that she saw "two shabbly dressed men" fleeing from the scene of the crime was branded by Fricke as "manufactured" by her to set the authorities on the wrong trail and permit Burch to escape. Her claim that she was a victim of amnesia for several days after the murder. Fricke said, was "fishy," "ridiculous" and "impossible." Fricke, who opened his address to the jury late yesterday, was to be followed by Al MacDonald, associate defense counsel. It was expected that MacDonald would complete his address today and that Jud Rush, chief of defense counsel, would almost finish his address before night. Tomorrow, Deputy District Attorney Keyes will deliver the final argument for the prosecution. The indications were that the case will not go to the jury until Thursday morning. Once during his address Fricke leaped at the jury from a semicroused position and shouted the words which Mrs. Mable Louise Wilson, beauty parlor proprietor and intimate friend of Mrs. Obenchain said to Mrs. J. D. Kennedy, mother of the slain man weeks before the murder—"Your son is going to die—is going to die. And you are going to cry." The prosecutor pictured Mrs. Obenchain as a "faithless wife" and a selfish, designing woman who, without any regard for their love, used men to gain what she wanted. Mrs. Obenchain buried her face.

A. Brock, manager of the Santa Paula insectary and former commissioner for Ventura-co in Morris' place. This action was predicted exclusively in the Plain Dealer some two weeks ago, and since then associations and growers in the northern part of the county have been mustering with the object of retaining Morris. In spite of the unanimous support of various associations, including the Anaheim Co-operative Orange Ass'n and Anaheim Orange & Lemon Angin, the supervisors apparently were unmoved from their first decision. It is understood that Morris' deposition is effective at once. Brock's salary, will, it is understood, be $3600, compared with the $2,400 now given Morris, the addition being due to the merger of the commissioner's and insectary work, which it is planned to conduct at Santa Ana as soon as the new insectary building is erected. At the morning session of the supervisora communications were received from Charles C. Chapman of Fullerton, the Benchley Fruit Company, the Mutual Orange Distributors and the Orange County Nursery Company, all in favor of the retention of Morris. Various individual growers spoko in behalf of Morris. George Rebman, a member of the Northern Orange County Citrus Exchange committee, was the only Anaheimer who took the floor. Rebman said he understood each grower was to be assessed one-fourth of a cent per box for the support of the proposed insectary at Santa Ana. D. Eyman Huff, chairman of the Orange County Exchange committee, spoke along lines similar to those he has followed before. Huff is the principal opponent of Morris. N. F. Edwards, chairman of the northern exchange committee, said he understood Morris was lukewarm on the question of the insectary, and that sort of man was not wanted.
