EVANS URGES MORE AUTO REGULATION It is becoming so dangerous to drive on the public highways that people he knows are afraid to venture out in their cars on Sundays. Leonard Evans told Rotarians at their weekly luncheon meeting today in the Elks' clubhouse. Evans and Dr. Walter Bigham had charge of the meeting. Bigham spoke on the value of happiness. Valentina, a representative of the Near East Relief Fund, the organization of which is maintained by wealthy men in New York and elsewhere, spoke in behalf of the Fund. W. J. Wallop sang. It was the eighth consecutive 100 per cent meeting. Evans quoted with approval the saying "Drive slow and see our beautiful city; drive fast and see the inside of a jail." He asserted that there should be laws requiring every one who intended to drive a car to pass an examination on the signals, etc., before he was given a permit, while fines should be imposed for failure to give signs. Evans pictured what traffic would be five years hence, Judging from what it was now. Valentina said that every dollar contributed crossed the water to the unfortunate children in the Near East, of whom 225,000 were being supported at 185 schools or seminaries. Over 100,000 more children are seeking admittance. More than 400 teachers and nurses are in charge. The danger threatens that one-fourth of the children may be cut off, which would mean certain death. Many of the members pledged themselves to give $5 a month for the support of one child each, and the club is expected to pay for the care of several children. J. H. Blackmore, who has come here from San Francisco to put on a campaign for the Chamber of Commerce, told of the growth of Anaheim, which has about doubled its population in the past two years, he said. The growth has brought with it unusual demands from the C. of C. and also has offered unusual opportunities for development. Blackmore quoted the "My City and I," of President Ralton of the New Mexico club. Dr. Bigham said that the first smile or thought back of a smile was mental, but after a time a beaten path of happy thoughts became worn in the brain and happiness became part of the character. SEARCH MOUNTAINS FOR VENICE MAN R. A. Phillips, early settler of Venice, was sought today in the mountains near Santa Paula, where he became lost while on a fishing party with several other Venice men last Saturday night.

A home assures happiness, contentment, ideal environments, protection and absolute assurance of investment, one that increases rather than depreciates in value, and the upkeep of an automobile will go a long way toward meeting living expenses. —We concede that an automobile is a modern attraction, but it is folly for families who are not proud possessors of their homes to undertake automobile ownership. —Before buying a car consult our Photographic Plan Service; it will tell you in advance what the home will look and be like and what it costs to build, and you are to feel welcome to advise with this service at your convenience.

In a letter of Oct. 11 to the State Railroad Commission, Attorney Evans mentioned practically all the non-stockholders receiving water, it was shown. E. C. Dutton cross-examined the witness, Jansen, in reply to questions, said he couldn't say how much water was demanded to irrigate one acre of land. Jansen admitted that the real value of the water company's plant exceeded its capitalization. William G. Mason, the next witness—who was called by Dutton—gave his opinion that the subterra-nean artesian water belt from which the wells of his company, the Mutual, as well as that of the West Anaheim Water Company procured it supply, extended to considerable distances outside the territories tapped by the various companies. The water level of the West Anaheim concern was higher than that of his company An inch per acre for each occasion of irrigation was a good average for a branch of mature trees he declared Kanchers irrigate an average of once over 30 days. Irrigation is absolutely necessary. Attorney Evans cross-examined the witness, who admitted that the method of irrigation, whether by flood or furrow, made the amount of water required vary. J.F. Ahlborn was the third witness summoned, Dutton calling him Ahlborn confirmed the evidence given by Mason regarding the declining water level. C.E. Utt, of Tustin, who succeeded Ahlborn, told his experiences in the operation of some 20 pumps, irrigating some 2,000 acres of land.

The results of the hearing, even though completed, cannot be given until the commission has considered the evidence.

With Oil Operators Richfield has a test well drilling at close to 5500 feet that is interesting. The deep well is the property of the Standard Oil Co. and is located on the Kellogg property. The formation for several hundred feet has been running in grey sand and there seems to be little possibility of getting a producer now. Few wells in So. Cal. have become commercial producers below 4500 feet and this one has put on another 1000 feet. The test will undoubtedly satisfy the operators in the east end of the Richfield district on deep well outlooks. In the old Whittier field interest has been revived by the starting of well No. 8 by the Whittley Oil Co. No. 8 has been located near No. 5 regarded as the best producer in the field. It is understood that the Comanche Oil Co. plans on getting into the Ride-out Heights section of the field soon. The Comanche has closed a lease for property adjoining the Whittley on the rortheast line. Drilling by the Standard Oil Co. at Buena Park is not causing any special excitement. The test well is close to 3400 and as yet has not shown any strong indications of oil. A few weeks ago an attempted excitement was started by some one saying that the well was looking good. A lot of people try to commercialize the work of the Standard Oil Co. to such an extent that it often becomes disgusting to this big oil company. Promoters of the Centralia Oil Lands do not hesitate about telling the wonderful things the Standard Oil Co. is doing. The Standard Oil Co. does not want any one to be deceived or misled and handles its wells in a manner that has received the commendation of every operator and every person interested in the oil business. CHAFFEE PICNIC WAS BIG SUCCESS The H. G. Chaffee Co. annual picnic for its employees was held at Brookside park, Pasadena, Wednesday last, June 21st.

At this time prizes were presented to the largest family and second largest family present. First prize, a case of Darigold milk, went to a family of seven children while a family of five children received second prize. CHAFFEE PICNIC WAS BIG SUCCESS The H. G.

Members with their families from all departments of the company made the attendance between 1200 and 1500, all of whom were filled with an enthusiasm and fellowship which put the day's program "over-the-top." From 9 until 10:30 a.m. an exciting baseball game was played between the stores and warehouse teams which tied the score—4 to 4. The day's temperature made the water sports from 10:30 to 12:00 o'clock most popular, together with the plunge, dressing rooms and bathing accessories being given to the employees and their families thru the compliments of Chaffee Co. A fine program of aquatics was offered, the most exciting of which was the spectacular fancy diving by the men, the watermelon race and the four man relay race. The most important number on the lay's program took place from 12:00 o'clock until 1:30 in which all took enthusiastic part. This was the basket dinner augmented with delicious ice cold drinks, hot coffee and all sorts of the season's fruits. Dinner was served in the pergola section where plenty of shade and cool breeze tempered the noon-day warmth to a comfortable picnic degree. Following dinner, a grand march lead by Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Chaffee, preceded by the Pasadena Firemen's band, serpentine across the green to the grand stand. At this time prizes were presented to the largest family and second largest family present. First prize, a case of Darigold milk, went to a family of seven children while a family of five children received second prize. From 1:45 to 2:30 in the afternoon an indoor baseball game played by men of 50 years of age and over furnished interesting entertainment for the grand stand spectators. The quick moves and rousing enthusiasm of the players demonstrated the youthfulness of age in Calif. Following the ball game came the field meet events which afforded opportunity for all sizes and ages of both sexes to take home such prizes as stimulated contestants to put forth their very best efforts to win. Fifth, second and third prizes were awarded for every event. The afternoon's events interspersed with the band music which was thoroughly enjoyed by all, rounded out a day which in every respect was a genuinely successful picnic. The employees wended their way home with a feeling of gratitude to their company for having made possible for them to enjoy such a delightful day of fun and frolic. —Witman, Eyesight specialist.
