NEWS OF FULLERTON EXPLOSION INJURES 2 UNDER HOSPITAL Walter Bowers, son of Superintendent Bowers of the Fullerton hospital, and W. C. Manning, an Anaheim ventilating and heating mechanic, were painfully injured yesterday afternoon while working under the hospital building, when an explosion occurred. It came about a result of a lighted candle by which they were working to fix some utility piping. Both were burned about the face and head, and were put to bed where they will probably remain for a few days. Mr. Bowers was here to spend a week's vacation with his mother and sister. TEACHERS ENTERTAINED The teachers of the Fullerton grammar school were entertained last night at the Olden home with a surprise affair given by Mesdames Olden, Cummings and Jennings. The teachers received a notice some time ago to set aside everything on this date, and later received invitations to a goose party, asking that answer be made by sending a goose feather. It was not known by the teachers where the party was to be nor who was giving it. The invitation said for the teachers to meet at 7:15 o'clock at the public library. The teachers were divided into five groups, and each was to give a stunt at the party, so they all turned out in their respective costumes. A goose notice at the library notified the teachers to go to the home of Mrs. Benchley. A goose notice there announced no one at home, and told them another address to go to. When they had arrived there, a goose notice announced the Olden home as the next stop, and when they had gotten there they found an invitation to come in. The first thing on the program was a goose hunt, then there was a minstrel, and Lochinvar come out of the FULLERTON PILING UP BIG VOTE TODAY The largest poll cast in a school election for many years is out today in the Fullerton school election, according to the judges at the polling station at the Fullerton grammar school building, the only poll in the city. The clerks were kept busy all morning. One trustee is being elected for the grammar school, and two for the high school. There is only one candidate for the grammar school trusteeship, O. M. Thompson, and three for the high school trusteeship, Rev. Frank M. Dowling, J. G. Sargent and E. J. Munger. But it is not this that is drawing the vote—it is the proposition for the reorganization of the junior colleges, putting them in direct affiliation with the state university and making junior college work tanta-mount to the first two years of college work without further question or examination. It is that certain that this will be put over by an overwhelming majority. CRASHES INTO P. E. AND FRACTURES LEG Fred Owens was severely injured this morning about 9 o'clock when his Ford car collided with a Pacific Electric car on the Bastanchury ranch. He sustained a broken leg, and other painful injuries. He was brot to the Fullerton hospital where his wounds were dressed. Only Meager details of the accident could be obtained. STAG SURPRISE FOR DAVIES R. T. Davies was a very much surprised man last night when he returned home about 6:30 and the light was switched on, disclosing eight of his male friends, who had been in- groups, and each was to give a stunt at the party, so they all turned out in their respective costumes. A goose notice at the library notified the teachers to go to the home of Mrs. Benchley. A goose notice there announced no one at home, and told them another address to go to. When they had arrived there, a goose notice announced the Olden home as the next stop, and when they had gotten there they found an invitation to come in. The first thing on the program was a goose hunt, then there was a minstrel, and Lochinvar come out of the west. Miss Andrews received a prize for being able to guess correctly the greater number of selections from the Mother Goose Rhymes. Refreshments were served, the ice cream being molded in the shape of a goose egg. TOOL COMPANW IN L. A. The directors of the Twin Harbor Tool Co., a Los Angeles concern largely financed and governed by Fullerton, met yesterday and make arrangements to authorize the purchase of machinery and equipment for the manufacturing plant which will be in Los Angeles. L. H. Smith of Fullerton is president, Dr. Menges, vice president, and W. A. Smith, treasurer. FINISH MARKING STREETS The job of marking the various streets and avenues of the city has been completed and the trend of current comment is to the effect that it is a good job well-done. The regular every-day citizens of the town like the system very much and it is sure to be of great assistance to new-comers and casual visitors in finding their way about. STAG SURPRISE FOR DAVIES R. T. Davies was a very much surprised man last night when he returned home about 6:30 and the light was switched on, disclosing eight of his male friends, who had been invited in for dinner and the evening to help celebrate his birthday. After an elaborate dinner which included broiled chicken and plum pudding, served at a tasty decorated table, the evening was spent with cards and smokes. Guests included Col. J. E. Jones, "Bunny" Evans, John Fisher, Gurman Hoppe, Robert Moore and Harry W. Shepherd. The festivities lasted until 2 a.m. today. Thus all the candidates for the city trusteeship who are flying at each other's throats in the election campaign, as it were, met and smoked the pipe of peace, so to speak. T. P. Scott of the Santa Fe Ry. is being transferred from Fullerton to Los Angeles where he will be check clerk. Mrs. Dewhirst and son and daughter expect to leave tomorrow for a vacation at Selma. An April fool party will be given tonight at the M. E. church in Fullerton, it was stated today. A number of teachers of the Fulerton grammar schools expect to spend the spring vacation out of town next week. LOS ANGELES Speedway Sunday, April 2 2:30 P.M.

Fullerton and Anaheim met yesterday on the local diamond for the first league game of the season and as usual the blight end of the decision fell to Anaheim in the way of a score, 11 to 6. At the same time, the girls were playing in Anaheim, the boys were having one of their league games with Santa Ana on the county-seat diamond. Luck was against the blue and gold diamond men and they came home with the small end a 11 to 6 score. Wishing to get in some baseball practice a team of high school bays went to the junior high school grounds and met the first team of that school yesterday. The game did not terminate until 16 innings had been played, the score remaining rattle, 16 to 16.

The experiments will be made with amphibian planes and it is likely that the Government will allow an air port to be established on the Thames. STILL IN CAB THAT TOOK FATAL PLUNGE DENVER, March 31. — Engineer George Fouts is back at the throttle on No. 2534, Burlington locomotive that carried him into the flooded waers of the Platte river near Union, Col., last June. Fouts, on 2534, carefully piloted a long train of Pullmans through a storm from Alliance, Neb., into Colorado during the storms of last June that caused the disastrous Publo flood. Nearing the Platte river bridge at Union, Fouts slowed down his train until it was barely creeping. Out on the bridge crept the augue locomotive. There was a crash. The engine was precipitated into the stream. The broken air brake connection on the cars applied the brakes that stopped the train and saved hundreds from drowning when the bridge collapsed. Fouts and his fireman, Elmer Sneecker, went down with the locomotive. The engineer clung to a log and was rescued half a mile down the river. Six months later, the locomotive was brought up from the river. Today it is pulling the regular trains from Alliance to Denver. And Engineer Fouts is in the cab. QUESTION REVIVED, ‘IS KITCHNER DEAD?’ LONDON, March 31. — Is Lord Kitchener—Kitchener of Khartum—really dead? He sailed away on the Cruiser Hampshire in June, 1916, leaving the Grand Fleet in its snug retreat at Scapo Flow. In those war day all ship movements were shrouded in mystery. Little by little the fact that the Hampshire had gone down at sea leaked out. The censorship was still close. Little was told. As far as the world ever knew, only half a dozen scattered sailors, half dead, were picked up. The great cruiser, with half a thousand men, disappeared. The secrecy surrounding the tragedy fed the rumors. Lord Kitchener the hero of the Soudan, of India, of South African campaigns without number, was a hero to the British Empire. The early years of the war had been marked by bleakerings over conduct of the war. There was much joyous among the men in authority in the Empire. BASEBALL Anaheim Elks STATE CHAMPIONS VS. Riverside Elks SUNDAY, APRIL 2, AT 2:30 P.M. HIGH SCHOOL GROUNDS ANAHEIM PLAN AIR SERVICE TO CHANNEL ISLES LONDON, March 31. — Tests will be carried out shortly for the establishment of airplane service between Channel Island and London for bringing garden produce to Covent Garden Market. The experiments will be made with amphibian planes and it is likely that the Government will allow an air port to be established on the Thames. The present journey by boat and train takes ten hours. It is figured that the planes will cover the distance in two hours. It is planned to have three planes making regular week day journeys. MEN WEAR TOO MUCH; WOMEN TOO LITTLE LONDON, March 31. — That men generally wear too much and women too little was the opinion expressed by Dr. J. F. Hallis Dally at the London Institute of Hygiene, in a lecture on "The Hygiene of Dress." Children, as well as the aged, he said, were highly susceptible to fluctuations in temperature. Girls' love of thin shoes and silk stockings in cold and damp weather, and their habit of going about really insufficiently clothed, was a frequent starting point of consumption. "Many young girls, either through thoughtlessness or for the sake of personal appearance, habitually underclothe," he declared. "The average thickness of the sole of a woman's thin walking shoe is only one-eighth to three-sixteents of an inch. For walking in bad weather the sole should never be less than a quarter-inch thick. I cannot too strongly condemn the practice of going about in these thin shoes." OFFICERS SHOW STRAIN WASHINGTON, March 31. — The "persistently large percentage of officers showing either excessively high or abnormally low blood pressure", in consequence of the strain during the world war, is noted by Surgeon General Ireland in his report to Major General Harbord, deputy chief of staff. Physical deterioration is believed to be greater in the commissioned personnel of the regular army than among the emergency forces.

MAN AT 103 WANTS TO START LIFE ANEW LONDON, March 31—William Gallop, 103 years old, for many years an inmate of the Park Royal Institution, has made application to the governors for permission to leave because he says he wants to seek a job and start life anew. He is hale and hearty, reads without glasses, writes a strong, legible hand and retains all his faculties. He says that he never smoked or drank. He has traveled widely and thinks he should be given another chance. OIL IN STORAGE INCREASES The state's oil in storage increased in February by 549,028 barrels to 1,788,192 barrels for the year since Jan. 1, according to the statistical bureau of the Independent Oil Producer' Agency in Los Angeles. Gross production during the month amounted to 9,060,383 barrels or 10,113 barrels per day more than in January. Shipments were 8,511,355, an average of 30,578 barrel per day more than in January. HAS TWO YEARS TO LIVE LOS ANGELES, March 31.—With the granting of a divorce to Arthur R. Cupper, Burbank rancher, from Mrs. Roberta Cupper, it has become known through friends of the latter that she had only two years to live and was determined to enjoy the time as she pleased. Friends say she has been attending many "wild parties" at the beaches and elsewhere. Her own daughter, a child of 12, chose to live with her adopted father.
