News of Fullerton BOARD OF TRADE SEEKS BUSINESS TAX Action by the city trustees of Fullerton on the business tax of the city will be urged at the meeting of the trustees Tuesday night by representatives from the board of trade, it is announced. The board of trade representatives have recommended that the San Bernardino business licence tax be adopted in toto. It is stated that inaction on the part of the city trustees on this matter has placed Fullerton in an embarrassing situation. The board of trade has advertised for a permanent secretary, and the money to be derived from the city thrush this tax the board has been depending upon to assist it in this work. Failure of the trustees to act has put them in the attitude of starting something they can't finish. It is said, however, that the passage of this license ordinance cannot be made retroactive, and therefore some other means will probably have to be found to insure a permanent secretary, and progress in the work for the first year.

AND CABINET IN SIXTH RY. SESSION WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.—President Harding met with his cabinet today for another inventory of the industrial situation admitted by government officials generally to be daily growing more serious and more dangerous in its potentialities. Today's meeting was the sixth consecutive session that has been devoted entirely to discussion of the rail and coal strikes and methods of remedying them. It was not considered probable that there will be any decisive action by the government in the coal strike, the tendency being to await the result of efforts John L. Lewis is making to settle the strike by means of a joint conference with operators in Cleveland on Monday. FIRE DESTROYS SIX FAIR BUILDINGS COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 4.—Fire, believed to be due to spontaneous combustion at the state fair grounds this morning resulted in a loss of $500,000.

BOY WEEK HAS ITS LESSONS Berkeley (Cal.) Gazette Chester, Pa., recently observed Boy Week, during which parents were urged to encourage their sons in healthful exercise and to devote their leisure time to fraternizing with them. Fathers were urged to recall their own boyhood, to enter joyously into marbles and baseball and to show warm-heartedly their interest and sympathy in the boys' activities. Much real good may be accomplished by such a celebration. There are parents, of course, who do not need to be reminded once in fifty-two weeks that their children are growing human beings whose companionship is a joy as well as duty or responsibility. There are, unfortunately, too many parents of the other sort who are too "busy" to take sympathetic interest in their youngsters. They like to show them off occasionally. C. OF C. OBTAINS HOTEL RATE CUT By arrangement with the Knott Hotel System, of New York City, members of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce and their immediate families, sojourning in New York City, can get a considerable discount from their hotel bills upon application to the local secretary.

Cards of the local chamber are issued to members, bearing the seal of the organization, introducing them to any of the management chosen, and special care is taken of the wants of those thus introduced. PACKING HOUSE VISITORS Recent visitors at the packing house of the Anaheim Orange and Lemon Association include: L. Elain-Velt, Grand Island, Neb.; W. H. Swett of Long Beach; Misses Frances L., and Clara L. Chase of Seattle; Miss Mabel Freistat of Rock Island, Hl.; John B. Pellettier and Mr. and Mrs. D. D. Ferguson of Los Angeles; and A. G. Crazen, of Springfield, Mass. BACK TO THE PICTURESQUE We are getting back to the pictureque in crime. Before long, I have little doubt, our bandits will wear plumed hats and refuse to steal from the poor. At least that's what it sounds like when we hear the story of the lone robber, masked in white, who held up a dinner party in one of our suburbs the other night. The raider, who appeared just as the roast was comfortably being started upon, so completely terrified the men and women guests that he despoiled them without being compelled to fire a shot, so that his dramatic performance was unmarred by any unpleasant bloodshed. He got $50,000 worth of jewels and $350 in money from the hostess, Mrs. Sarah H. Robertson, and a few additional pearls and diamonds from the guests, and got safely away in a high-powered automobile, with his mask still in place. P.E. SPUR AT NEWPORT Permission was granted the Pacific Electric Railway Company by the Railroad Commission to construct a spur track at grade across Central ave and a portion of 18th street in Newport Beach, Orange county. DONT FORGET THAT Federal permits to build camp fires are now required within the national forests of the Pacific Coast States, announces the Forest Service of the United States Department of Agriculture. These permits are free and may be secured from all forest officers and other authorized agencies. Serious forest fires and unfavorable weather conditions have caused government officials to take this step as a matter of precaution. Five hundred men are now fighting uncontrolled fires in the Rainier, Wenatchee, and Snouqualie national forests of Washington. The Herman Creek fire in Oregon now covers about 3,000 acres and is burning close to the Columbia river highway. In spite of the efforts of 165 firefighters, the conflagration has destroyed valuable timber and a sawmill; it now threatens a Forest Service ranger station. their own boyhood, to enter joyously into marbles and baseball and to show warm-heartedly their interest and sympathy in the boys' activities. Much real good may be accomplished by such a celebration. There are parents, of course, who do not need to be reminded once it fifty-two weeks that their children are growing human beings whose companionship is a joy as well as duty or responsibility. There are, unfortunately, too many parents of the other sort who are too "busy" to take sympathetic interest in their youngsters. They like to show them off occasionally, but for the most part they carelessly let matters slide, except for occasional sessions of discipline. To such parents the special week may bring a needed awakening. It is likely also to bring considerable discouragement and might well be followed by a campaign in behalf of bewildered adults. Neither the respect nor the confidence of a child can be forced. If there has been little companionship in the past, a single week of sudden effort cannot develop it. The parent inspired by Boy Week may find his son surprisingly reserved and shy, even perhaps a little scornful. If such is the case, it is a sure sign that everything is not as it should be, that friendship and mutual understanding need cultivation wisely and gently throughout the whole year. In the end a better citizen will have been reared and a happier parent will have enriched his own life as well as his child's. NEW ORDER OF RUSSIAN IMMIGRANTS Some of the new order of Russian immigrants are a problem to those here to whom they go for instruction in ways of earning a living. It is hard to adapt them to the requirements of a simple democracy. One applied at the New York Institute of Agriculutre at Farmingdale, Long Island, to discuss taking up a course in gardening. "The general course will be what you want," suggested the principal. "Then you will be able to ru a while farm yourself." There was something almost like scorn in the gesture of aloof disapproval from the Russian. "That," he said, "is not at all the Russian custom nor should I care to study such a medley of subjects. British aviation experts are considering the feasibility of guiding airplanes in intercity flights by cables stretched 400 feet above the ground, to which the would be connected.

CYPRESS NEWS CYPRESS, Aug. 4.—(Spl.)—One of the most important of the season's social functions was the reception tendered the Rev. and Mrs. Cart at the beautiful home of Mrs. M. B. LaRue Feagan. The good will and hearty welcome of so many of the townspeople was very gratifying to the new minister. In the few weeks of his endeavor with us he has seen the Sunday School attendance multiply and new life and earnestness creep into the work. The reception of last evening was a mark of appreciation of the church members, also a means of getting acquainted. Many of those that attended presented the minister and his wife with substantial tokens of friendship. A musical and literary program was enjoyed, and refreshments of ice cream and cake served. Little Freda Priddy, while playing on a haystack fell and dislocated her left arm at the elbow. The arm is still very sore and painful but is mending as rapidly as could be expected.
