AT BURIAL OF GIRL Miss Ida Miller, 25, newspaperwoman who died Friday of tuberculosis last week with 66 cars as his markets. All solicitors who took an active part in the campaign for subscriptions to the Flood Control Fund are to be at the C. of C. offices tomorrow morning between 8:30 and 9 a.m., to receive their lists and statements for the work in hand of collecting the balance of the money. Instructions will also be given at this time and it is expected that but a short time will be necessary for the clean-up. Any one man will not have more than a few names upon his list, for there are approximately 70 solicitors for a collection job in which there are to be seen not more than 480 solicitors. Flood Control Project has now reached its most critical stage, that of securing enough money to justify the committee in letting contracts for material and construction. Plans and specifications are ready and everything now depends upon the speed with which the money is forthcoming on the subscriptions. The committee is marking time in this respect and doing all within its power to make collections. This cleanup campaign has been resorted too and the committee is depending upon the efforts of the solicitors themselves and the response to their appeal for collections on the part of the subscribers. Enough money must be received by the committee by tomorrow evening to make it practical for them to advertise for and to receive bids upon material and the construction work itself as any further delay in the matter will crowd the work on next Fall months and the best results cannot be obtained. It is now up to the subscribers themselves, the committee has done about all that it can do for the present. All solicitors are again urged to be at the C. of C. tomorrow morning ready to handle this most important part of the Flood Control Project. WAR IN PEN FOR STATUTORY CHARGE James A.

AIN DEALING NEWSPAPER OF NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY Anaheim, California, Monday, April 17, 1922 VICTIM MA ESTIMATE OF CROP AGAIN REDUCED Only Finest Valencias Being Shipped as Evidenced by High Prices The Valencia crop of the Anaheim district, in common with other districts in the county, will be somewhat lighter than last estimated, following the cold weather of late January, it was stated today by Manager O.J.W. Sanquianas or the Anaheim Orange & Lemon Ass'n. At the same time, only the finest quality of fruit is being shipped, as shown by the high prices obtained in the eastern markets.

Philadelphia-st were burglarized Sunday morning a short time before day. Only $1.50 was taken from the Finley residence. The burglar had a $20 bill in his hand and didn't discover it. Mr. and Mrs. Finley heard the noise and that it was their son coming home, but upon investigation found it was not there. The Valencia crop of the Anaheim district, in common with other districts in the county, will be somewhat lighter than last estimated, following the cold weather of late January, it was stated today by Manager O.W. Sanduanas or the Anaheim Orange & Lemon Ass'n. At the same time, only the finest quality of fruit is being shipped, as shown by the high prices obtained in the eastern markets. Shipments last week will be better than 66 cars, as hinted on Saturday. The Orange & Lemon Ass'n finally got 20 cars, instead of 28, besides a carload of lemons. An official exchange estimate as of today will be issued this week. The California crop will be free of competition from Florida oranges a week or two earlier than last year. Sandilands said. Florida has cleaned up its oranges and grapefruit, but cars on the road will not be marketed for several days yet. This means that April, which with May witnesses the largest consumption of oranges of any month of the year, will be even more prosperous for the shippers than anticipated, and prices are likely to hold well. In these two months there is less competition from other fruits than in any other, strawberries from the southern states being the only other fruit available. Some Spanish oranges will be coming in; but they are not a factor, and California fruit will have its own way until August, when Jamaica and Puerto Rico oranges begin to be marketed. CHARRED BODIES FOUND IN RUINS LOS ANGELES, April 17.—Ruins of the sheltered mountain cabin in Dayton canyon in the Chatsworth mountains, in which were found the charred body of Clyde W.

The tragedy was revealed when three women visitors to the Dayton home found the weather beaten cabin reduced to ashes. What remained of the bodies of the couple was found on the twisted, flame-scorched cot of the place. GROOM ELECT DIES IN PLANE SMASH LOS ANGELES, April 17.—Capt. G. S. V. Little, engaged to marry Miss Vera Stiles of Los Angeles, was killed in an airplane accident while on his way to his wedding today, according to dispatches from LOS ANGELES. ROTARIANS SEE GEM DISPLEY Rotarians who attended today's lunchcon meeting at the Elks' clubhouse had an opportunity of seeing thousands of dollars worth of diamonds, good, bad and indifferent, of a dozen colors and ranging in years from a few to several hundreds. Bill Bailey, a jeweler of Shawnee, Okla., and a Rotarian, was the speaker, brought here by Barney Hartfield, the chairman of the day. Bailey said he supposed he had visited all the clubs in southern California except the one here. In his talk he said in substance: The diamond is the most ancient precious stone known. It was found in India and Persia centuries before the Christian era. It is the hardest gem. Before modern civilization began, the stone was worn and used in its uncut and unpolished state, when it looks much like a piece of rock salt. About 1425 A.D. man began to polish the stone, by rubbing two stones together at the ends of sticks. In 1552, the Great Mogul diamond was discovered. It then weighed 800 carats, but was cut to 279 carats. It last was in the crown of Russia. An equally famous diamond is the Kohinoor, now in the crown of the Queen of England. It weighed 280 carats before cut to 102%. This stone has caused more wars than any similar object in existence. It cannot be purchased. It would not now be considered bright or beautiful, its fame resting principally upon its size. Diamonds first were found in the albuva of Indian river beds. It was in 1725 that the stones were found similarly in South America, in Brazil. These diamonds all lay on top of the earth. When the Brazilian deposits gave out the supply was thought to be exhausted, and prices rose 1,000 per cent overnight in New York. In 1869 diamonds were discovered in South Africa. Travelers found Dutch children playing with white pebbles, which when brought to England were found to be diamonds. A rush followed in 1870-73. The rough diamonds were found in volcanic "pipes" in the earth. The deeper the miners dug, the smaller the volume of stones per ton. Finally blue clay was brought up, left for months and then washed and freed of the stones. Ceell Rhodes organized the diamond syndicate, the most powerful in Philadelphia Robbed The residence of J. L. Finley, $20 So. Philadelphia-st and the residence of Mrs. Bianche Chapman, $10 :o Philadelphia-st were burglarized Sunday morning a short time before day. Only $1.50 was taken from the Finley residence. The burglar had a $20 bill in his hand and didn't discover it. Mr. and Mrs. Finley heard the noise and that it was their son coming home, but upon investigation found it was a burglar. They saw the man leaving, but decided to make no disturbance lest they should break in on the slumbers of their neighbors, quietly calling the police. Evidently, the burglar went directly from the Finley resident to that of Mrs. Chapman where he got some jewelry, including one gold wedding ring engraved on the inside, "C.F.C.to B.G.O., 9-12-12"; one gold crown setting solitaire diamond about ½ carat; stone worn on both sides at the bottom of setting from the wedding ring rubbing against the setting. BROCK REAPPOINTS ALL ASSISTANTS The entire force associated with former County Horticultural Commissioner Earl Morris, has been appointed by A.A. Brock, according to authentic reports current in Santa Ana today. Not only higher subordinates, but minor ones, will hold on, it is declared. The position taken by subordinates is said to be as follows: "Brock is now head of the office, he had no connection with Morris' removal, he is a capable man, and we might as well pull together in the office, as Northern Orange County Citrus Exchange and Orange County Fruit Exchange are doing outside of it, as well as the grower members of the two associations." Brock, as far as he has gone, has won the respect and liking of the force in general, it is said. He has done so on his own merits, but also because Morris, in order to smooth the way for an efficient continuation of the work, which soon will include the management of the insectory planned at Santa Ana, publicly commended Brock as an able man. The re-appointments are asserted to be official, and not a case of passively holding on to the former force until it could be gradually changed or replaced. A meeting of directors of the two exchanges and others is announced to take place at Fullerton to discuss the furtherance of plans for the insectory. The program for this meeting has not yet been announced. Morris still is in Santa Ana, and his plans for the future he has not yet made known. GROOM ELECT DIES IN PLANE SMASH LOS ANGELES, April 17.—Capt. G. S. V. Little, engaged to marry Miss Vera Stiles of Los Angeles, was killed in an airplane accident while on his way to his wedding today, according to dispatches from Dallas, Texas. Miss Stiles, whose home was formerly at 135 North Normandie avenue, left Los Angeles a week ago with her father, Herbert A. Stiles, prominent oil man, for her marriage to Capt. Little. She was in Fort Worth, Tex., when her fiance was killed. Capt. Little was flying to Fort Worth to meet Miss Stiles and her father when the airplane in which he was riding crashed to earth. Sergt. James L. Johnson, who was in the airplane with him, was also killed. The Los Angeles girl learned the shocking news of her sweetheart's death for the first time when she read of the airplane accident in the Fort Worth newspapers. She was overcome with grief. Her trousseau was prepared and all arrangements had been completed for the marriage. SUES BROTHER AND WIFE Suit has been filed by Susan G. Weltbrecht of Orange, against her brother, Robert and his wife, Winifred Weltbrecht, on a note for $28.-100. If successful foreclosure proceedings would be taken against the defendant's 20-acre ranch at Orange, Scarborough, Forgy and Reinhaus represent Miss Weltbrecht. BUENA PARK MAN'S FINGER AMPUTATED W. R. Braily of Buena Park, an employee of the Standard Oil Co., of Santa Fe Springs, suffered a painful accident this morning when his right hand was caught between some piping, and he was brot to Anaheim for surgical attention. It was necessary to amputate his index finger, it is state, and the ring finger was badly cut. In 1869 diamonds were discovered in South Africa. Travelers found Dutch children playing with white pebbles, which when brought to England were found to be diamonds. A rush followed in 1879-73. The rough diamonds were found in volcanic "pipes" in the earth. The deeper the miners dug, the smaller the volume of stones per ton. Finally blue clay was brought up, left for months and then washed and freed of the stones. Cecil Rhodes organized the diamond syndicate, the most powerful in the world, and this syndicate has an absolute monopoly of new stones and regulates prices as it pleases. During the war the syndicate closed down the mines entirely. The principal diamond cutting centers are Amsterdam, where approximately 16,000 men are employed; Antwerp, 8,000 to 9,000; Paris, London and New York. From 1860 to 1878 the United States imports of diamonds were valued at only $6,000,000 to $7,000,-000; in 1914-15, $52,900,000; in 1919 $12,000,000. The closing of the mines followed, as in 1907. Only five New York firms have access to the market for the rough stones. A sale of rough diamonds by the syndicate is attended by representatives of leading firms from all over the globe. Each purchaser draws by lot a number, and cannot enter the room where the rough diamonds are and bid out of his term. He must say Yes or No as to whether he will purchase or not and what stones. Sixty per cent of the size is lost in the cutting. A 10-carat stone becomes a four-carat one. Diamonds now are cut on a wheel, the polishing substance of which is very fine diamonds. This county has made more progress in 20 years in the cutting of diamonds than the rest of the world during its whole history. A diamond can be cut only one way, along the grain. Several small diamonds well cut and polished are worth far more than the original rough diamond from which they came. Henry D. Morse of Boston was the man who revolutionized the cutting of diamonds. By studying the way in which the rays of light striking or entering a mirror and diamonds behaved, he found that the diamond was irrefractory. His method was to so cut a gem that a ray of light was reflected from one facet to another and finally passed out without penetrating through the stone. An angle of 41 degrees at the base and 35 above appeared to give the most satisfactory results. A stone cut to deep, said the speaker, makes the light raps fight with one another and emerge at the back of the diamond. Morse cut 58 fascets on a stone, as today. When he took stones to leading New York jewelers and explained his method and showed his results, he was told he was crazy to waste so much material to produce such a glitter. When sold, diamonds are put into 400 different classes, according to size, color, brilliancy and perfection. The finest of the usual sorts of diamonds is the Jaga, but a finer diamond still is in India, absolutely pure white, which it is a capital offense to export. Diamonds, because of their preciousness are divided into points, 100 points to the carat for purposes of weight. The spear or displayed some white sapphires, which are false diamonds. He showed a number of small diamonds together, each of adifferent color, to indicate their differences. Violet diamonds, a rarity, were exhibited. Bailey received a vote of thanks when he had finished. AUTO CLUB BLDG. DONE IN 45 DAYS The new building for the local office of the Auto club of So.Cal. will be finished within 45 days. Paul V. Allen said today. The building will have a magnesite finish with crushed rock dashed into it, a combination harder than concrete or any other artificial substance it is said. Water has no effect on it. The building will be as fine if not as large as any in So.Cal., used by the club. of 41 degrees at the base and 35 above appeared to give the most satisfactory results.

PASSES AWAY ON STREET SUDDENLY While transacting an errand down town to bring Easter joy and happiness to the children of his daughter, Samuel Pond, aged 63 years, suddenly passed away Saturday evening, failing to the pavement in front of the Wallace Scott filling station on No. Los Angeles. A physician was immediately called but Mr. Pond had expired. Funeral arrangements await word from relatives in Salt Lake City. Mrs. Wm. Crone, of 21st E. Alberta street, is a daughter. Mr. and Mrs. Pond had been in Anheim three months for the benefit of the former's health. He was a man of straneous habits, holding responsible positions as secretary in several mining companies in Salt Lake City, their home. He has purchased a lot in the Park View subdivision and during the day had been overseeing the removal of a building from the lot. Although he said he was not tired, and insisted upon going to buy some little surprises for Easter, it is supposed he had overtaxed his strength as he was subject to heart trouble. STANDARDIZING OF FRUIT DISCUSSED The question of standardization of citrus fruit for shipment will be discussed at two meetings this week, one for each end of the county. On Thursday afternoon a meeting will be held in the office of Manager Dale R. King of the Northern Orange County Citrus Exchange in Fullerton and on Friday a similar meeting in Orange, probably at the Orange County Fruit Exchange. At each meeting representatives of the United States bureau of chemistry, department of agriculture, state department of agriculture and the county horticultural commissioner's office will be present and speak. According to Manager G. W. Sandilands, the decisions of the meetings will have no effect on the results. CRAZED BY BOOTLEG Mrs. Dorothy Dray and son, Harold Dray, were seriously injured last night near Buena Park when their car was run into by the car of Joe Quintana and Rudolph Boloreze. The Dray car was wrecked. Both Mrs. Dray and her son were mangled in the wreck and were taken at once to their home in Hyde Park; Los Angeles. It is feared that Mrs. Dray will not live. It is stated that the five occupants of the other car were cruzed by bootleg liquor. Not seriously hurt, the five were all placed under arrest by the Fullerton police, and locked in the city jail to await a hearing, which will probably be given late this afternoon. The others were: Fidel Garcia, Florencisco Lujon and Luis Yasal. Quintana and Baloreze will probably have to face charges of driving while intoxicated, and the others charges of drunkenness.
