"It is admirably s the construction and naval vessels and harbor." Met a man the other day who drove his car into metropolitan traffic in order that he might get a couple of spark plugs for thirty-three cents apiece. Of course he anticipated getting some other things, based on the usual lure, as per drawing above. When he got into the center of things he found that "the spark plugs had all been sold," but that he could get a few at once dollar per He had to take three, as he needed them on the spot.

Don't the buzz of a planing mill make you think of the kid days when you used to play around the old saw-dust pile. That's the feeling I had while I stayed and sketched and talked to Mr. Young, proprietor of the Young Sushi and Door Co., the highly improved and efficient plant in South Lemon-st. Mr. Young comes from that great old lumber state, Wisconsin, and he is a planing mill man par excellence. See him for mill work, for lumber—for everything made of good, excepting nutmetgs.

What a L. A. Man Captured After Long Chase Following Accident to Pedestrian H. H. Fifield of Torrance was knocked down by a car on the Newport boulevard below Delhi yesterday, but refused to excuse, altho Roy Edwards, proprietor of a shop in the Grand Central Market, Santa Ana, pursued the alleged offender for miles and finally stopped him by driving his car in front of him. Local police who got a report of the affair say it was one of the most unusual they ever heard of. The story was circulated with the report that some of Fifield's neighbors had attempted to lynch the offender, but this could not be substantiated. G. Wessman of 572 Sierra street, Los Angeles, is the alleged driver of the car. He was arrested, and it is understood the District Attorney's office will prosecute him, despite Fifield's failure to push the case. Here's how it all happened. Fifield's Chevrolet car broke a wheel and he was trying to repair it as best he could when G. F. Miller of 1068 West Second street, Santa Ana, came along, and offered to give him a ride to Santa Ana, where Fifield hoped to get aid. Fifield was crossing the road to enter Miller's car, when Wessman drove on the scene, hitting Fifield and knocking him down. It is alleged that Wessman didn't stop to render aid. Edwards, who was driving Ford coupe just behind Wessman, saw the accident, and proceeded to chase Wessman. He caught up with him and ordered him to stop, but Wessman declined. Thereupon Edwards, in order to stop him, ran in front of him, and Wessman hit his car. Then Wessman stopped. Edward's car was not badly damaged. Edwards arrested Wessman and held W. W. Carruthers of 6111 Carlos avenue, Hollywood, who sat in a rear seat, as a witness. Carruthers today said he had been shading his eyes with his hat and had not noticed the accident, although he had seen the wrecked Chevrolet.

Orange-co—smallest of them all, I understand produces all sorts of things annually, amounting to one hundred millions of dollars. What a wonderful balm it would be for all the troubles growing out of the Veronailles party. Suppose a prime minister or a president or a king, could have carried those seven hundred and eighty square miles of Eden under his arm and into the treaty room, pledging its wealth for reparations, for reputations, for chills and fever. What could it not do to settle the accounts in the years to come? No more Cannes, no more Genoa or The Hague—the Orange could balance the account. That's the reason you need a standing army in Orange-co, to protect your wealth. Get Gen. Buy-in Anaheim to be at the head of all military operations. And now I am going to talk about the most extraordinary place—the Anaheim Laundry Co., Anaheim, you should be as proud of this perfect plant as New York is of her Woolworth tower, as Rome is of her ancient glories, as Egypt is of her pyramids. It is a monument to the enterprise and faith of it's builders. It is an outstanding distinction. It is so new and beautiful that nothing can equal it. Hats off to Anaheim Laundry So. Did you know that the Bake-Rite system will never bake wrong. That is a fact. Mr. True, the experienced proprietor of the Bake-Rite system in Anaheim, told me all about it, and as his name indicates, I got the gospel truth of the story.

"More than $35,000,000 of the taxpayers' money has been expended in building up the Mare Island plant and it has been, and still is, perhaps the most valuable plant the government possesses," King said.

PROBE DEATH OF ANAHEIM OIL MAN 29 Traffic Cases Already Heard in June and 30 More Pending With 29 traffic cases already heard by City Recorder Charley Kuchel and approximately 30 yet to dispose of so far in June, the month bids fair to far exceed the record of May, when 73 complaints were disposed of. Motorcycle Officer Louis Vokall, who was added to the force a number of weeks ago, is given most of the credit for the arrests. There is less disposition now to speed through the principal streets of Anaheim, said Judge Kuchl today. And so far the Judge has not had a single offender up twice. Fines of $10 each for running 35 miles an hour or more were paid today by J. H. Tompkins, John Doe and John Taylor. Frank Volz paid a fine of $5 for less speed. Ninety per cent of the offenders are out-of-towners, the city recorder declared. And practically all of the complaints are for exceeding the speed limits. Ninety-eight per cent of the offenders do not break the law willfully, in the judge's opinion but are careless or ignorant of what the laws are. Vokall has no regular hours, so that an arrest cannot easily be anticipated. He may work several hours one day and not at all the next. This arrangement has proved more satisfactory, it is said, than the other. There have been some parking offenses, and a good-sized proportion of the arrests have been due to failure to slow up at street intersections.

Falkenstein, who is touring Europe, written in response to a request by the Plain Dealer: We are getting along very nicely and enjoying the surroundings of Nordhausen as far as the poor weather permits. My relatives here have a wonderful wholesale cotton goods business. You have no idea of the profits that are made here right now. There is no more talk of hundreds or thousands, but millions. Everybody talks money, money, money—in the hotels, in the homes, in fact everywhere. For us the whole money question is a book with seven seals as yet. We cannot figure it out at all, but ask any peasant woman or school child and they will tell you every day the value of the dollar as they stop in front of the banks to study the money market before going to school. I have seen some nice things in the way of merchandise which I liked very much, new things, which I am sure we could sell in Anaheim. There are some novelties in fancy baskets which are beautiful and absolutely new in America. I may make a special trip some day to the place where these goods are made and have some shipped for the holidays. One sees beautiful ready-to-wear garments here and they are bought very extensively. The styles are very pretty with longer skirts and longer coats. I am sure these will be the coming styles as they are showing these styles in Paris and other European fashion centers. I have not given things of business nature much that. Here we only live to enjoy ourselves and take it easy. We expect to go to Berlin within a short time but are waiting for warmer weather; after that for several weeks to some resort in the Harz mountains and then So. Germany and Switzerland. With best wishes, WM. FALKENSTEIN. PLOT TO BURN ALIEN PROPERTY OFFICE WASHINGTON, June 12.—An unreported news article about a plot to burn an alien property office in Washington, June 12. C. M.
