Comic Page Doomed As Secret Is Out CHICAGO, Aug. 15. — The much sought for recipe of how to be happy though married, was made public today. It says: Never quarrel: Beware of a hagging wife—or husband. Be sure you love the girl—or fellow. Exercise 15 minutes every morning upon waking. Then take a bath.

Henry Perdow, 12, smarting under a reprimand from his mother, didn't go out in the back yard and eat worms. Instead, he attempted to commit suicide by hanging from a swing rope late yesterday at his home on the old Orange oil lease near Brea. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. William Perdow. When his mother denied him a boyish request, he went to the back porch, fastened a swing rope about his neck and suspended himself in mid-air. Smaller children, alarmed at his actions, rushed to the mother and told her that "Henry had hung himself." Busy about her household duties, at first she passed off the suggestion as a joke. When its seriousness was finally impressed upon her, she hastened to the porch and found the boy writhing in agony, while suspended in mid-air. With difficulty she succeeded in cutting him down and he was removed to the office of Dr. E. J. Steen at Brea in a Seale ambulance. There an X-ray disclosed that two vertebrae were dislocated and he was taken to a Los Angeles hospital. Physicians believe he will recover. CHARGE DISMISSED AGAINST COBBLER H.

Gilbert, of Los Angeles, well known railway and motion picture star counsel, who is representing Hodges, tried to show that Hodges was a firm member of the Golden State Motor Co., and hence could not be prosecuted for misappropriating his own property. For this purpose Gilbert tried to introduce as an exhibit a letterhead of the firm on which it was said the name of Hodges appeared as if he were a firm member. Judge West sustained a motion against the admittance of the letterhead as immaterial and irrelevant. One used at the time the alleged crime one used at the time the alleged crime was committed did not clearly appear. Hodges himself was on the stand and told how he had organized the company some months ago. His testimony in line with the argument of his counsel to the effect that he was a firm member. One of the first movements of the defense counsel was to try to have the trial continued on the ground that one J. Lloyd Moore, who was said to have been a member of the firm, could not appear because of sickness. Gilbert said that he had told those who had informed him of Moore's illness to so inform the prosecution and court. Judge West said that he had heard Moore was ill, but that the defense would have to either produce him or a doctor's certificate, showing he was ill. Moore had been seen talking with Hodges, and the fact of his illness then first came out. Moore already had been subpoenaed by the defense. The fact of the connection of George M. Ross and Walter Ross of the Orange County Realty Co. with the Golden State Motor Co. came out during the testimony today. Deputy District Attorney C. N. Moley represents people in the prosecution. F.

EMBARGO ON LOCAL FRUIT MOVEMENT Anaheim Citrus, on half Schedule, Only House Operating Today. The strike has resulted this week in a considerable curtailment of citrus fruit picking and packing. Both the Randolph Marketing Co.'s West Anaheim house and the Anaheim Co-operative Orange Association are shut down and going no picking, while the Anaheim Orange and Lemon Association was closed yesterday and will not pick in preparation for packing again until this afternoon or tomorrow. The Anaheim Citrus Fruit Association is operating as usual on about half schedule. Developments in Railway Tieup Developments viewed today as initial moves toward the termination of the railroad strike in California and the saving of millions of dollars to fruit growers are as follows: Union Pacific fulfills agreement to disarm and remove guards from trains and properties; east and westbound traffic is resumed, with strikers back on jobs. General movement to break tie-up reported under way following success of Union Pacific negotiations. Removal of Southern Pacific embargo against perishable freight shipments through Ogden, Utah, anticipated, as a result of strikers' return to work at Roseville, Cal. Santa Fe in defiance of strikers continues to move passenger trains and transport passengers stalled on desert. Fruit growers, in big conference, frantically plan to save part of crop with trucks in the event Moore-for-Senator speakers are campaigning in Orange-co. today and will continue their drive tomorrow. Today's speakers, who will cover the southern part of the county, are Senator Eden and Miss Roberts of the Long Beach Telegram. They left St. Ann's Inn at 11:30 p.m. Tomorrow's speakers, to cover the northern part of Orange-co., have not been definitely selected, but will probably consist of two of these three—Mrs. Robert Burdette, wife of the former pastor of the Baptist Tabernacle in Los Angeles; Barney Goff or Miss Rita Kissin. The latter speakers will appear in Anaheim at 5 o'clock tomorrow evening. President Charles Eygabroad now is concluding the arrangements for the appearance of the two speakers here. Today Eden's speech practically is confined to an attack on Senator Hiram Johnson because of his opposition to the four-power pact concluded at Washington. "For his opposition to the four-power pact more than anything else I oppose Senator Johnson as candidate for United States Senator," said Eden at Seal Beach. "We are all interested in the four-power pact. He voted against it. His opposition to the pact alone is sufficient reason to vote against him." The schedules of the Moore speakers today and tomorrow are: - Day—Seal Beach, 1:00; Westminster, 2:00; Garden Grove, 2:30; Balcony, 3:00; Newport, 3:40; Costa Mesa, 4:00; Tustin, 4:45; Orange, 5:00. - Wednesday—Olive, 11:30 a.m.; Placentia, 12:30 p.m.; Yorba Linda, 12:45; Olinda, 2:20; Bras, 2:45; La Habra, 3:15; Buena Park, 3:45; Fullerton, 4:00; and Anaheim, 5:00. - Chairman Eygabroad was ill at his home today and it was not expected he would be able to direct the meeting here.

LONG TIME RESIDENT OF BUENA PARK DIES An illness following surgical treatment several months ago resulted in the death of Mrs. Amelia Ryman this morning at 9:48 at her home in Buena Park, where she has resided for more than 21 years. She was aged 56 years and one day. She is survived by her husband and her aged father, John Neiger, 91, for whom she had been caring. Funeral announcements will be made la. The strike has resulted this week in a considerable curtailment of citrus fruit picking and packing. Both the Randolph Marketing Co.'s West Anaheim house and the Anaheim Co-operative Orange Association are shut down and going no pickling, while the Anaheim Orange and Lemon Association was closed yesterday and will not pick in preparation for packing again until this afternoon or tomorrow. The Anaheim Citrus Fruit Association is operating as usual on about half schedule. The two exchange associations received word today from the exchange headquarters in Los Angeles that shipments were now proceeding to the mid-west and east only over the southern route of the Southern Pacific through El Paso. The embargoes on the Santa Fe and Union Pacific from Ogden east remain in force and no fruit is being shipped, it is understood. Reports were current here today that the deceduous fruit growers of the northwest were in danger of suffering heavy losses from the embargoes. GUARDS DISARM AS TIEUP IS BROKEN LOS ANGELES, Aug. 15.—Determined action to break up the railroad strikes which for days has virtually isolated California and is causing a daily loss of $1,000,000 to fruit growers was reported under way today coincident with the disarmament of guards and resumption of traffic on one of the transcontinental lines crippled by the walkout. Following the lead of Union Pacific officials, who agreed to a "truce" with "Big Four" employs and succeeded in free movement of traffic, other companies were reported to be working rapidly toward the resumption-of-normal train schedules. The embargo on fruits, livestock and perishable freight shipments east via the Ogden route of the Southern Pacific was expected to be lifted following an agreement by which "Big Four" strikers returned to work at Roseville, Cal. Declared by growers to be "fighting back" against the Southern Pacific's plan to save fruit, Southern Pacific yardmen all along the line between Fresno and Stockton were reported to have walked out this morning. Word to this effect was sent to the Fresno offices of the Associated Fruit Co., according to L. K. Small, vice president, by Southern Pacific officials. This move, it was pointed out, will have the effect of blocking the largest portion of the San Joaquin valley planted to deciduous fruits. Previous to the new walkouts, MUST STICK TO TRUTH IN SALES At a booster meeting of the Anaheim Realty Board last night at the offices of the Hargrove Realty Co., 109 E. Center-st., further plans were launched for Anaheim's participation in the California real estate convention to be held in Orange-co., December 7 to 9. Local realtors are beginning to realize that Anaheimmers will have a real job on their hands to entertain the 600 or more delegates here the one day assigned to Anaheim. The other two days the convention sits at Santa Ana. Anaheim realtors expect to raise $500 to $600 for entertainment of the visitors, who will be dined here and taken for an auto tour of the Anaheim district. Further discussion of convention plans is programmed for a joint meeting of the four reality boards of the county at a luncheon in the Elks club Tuesday noon. A feature of last night's meeting was the adoption of a resolution confirming members to "facts" in announcing prices in reports of realty sales. "The resolution is directed at a custom among some dealers of becoming enthusiastic over the price of a deal," said one broker today. "We don't care how much they advertise their transactions, just so they stick to the truth," he said. "Otherwise it's bad business for everyone to sell a piece of real estate for one price and announce a higher figure." New members received into the local board last night were Simpson Realty Co., D. A. Woodward, Jay C. Idlor and C. C. Bywater. LONG TIME RESIDENT OF BUENA PARK DIES An illness following surgical treatment several months ago resulted in the death of Mrs. Amelia Ryman this morning at 9:45 at her home in Buena Park, where she has resided for more than 21 years.

Funeral announcements will be made later, as no arrangements are completed, other than that burial will be in Alhambra. The body is at the Huddel Undertaking parlor. Mrs. Ryman was well known in Buena Park and in Anaheim. She was a member of the Salem Evangelical church in Anaheim and it is probable that Rev. Doescher will conduct the funeral services. MURDERS RELATIVES WHO LAUGHED AT HIM PONTIAC Mich., Aug. 15.—Albert Schroeder, aged 25, a farmer of Ortonville, near here, shot and killed his father, Carl Schroeder, aged 70, and his brother-in-law, August Zimmerman, aged 35, today. According to Zimmerman's wife, Schroeder shot the two men with a shotgun while they were working in the barnyard. Schroeder fled, but was captured by a posse of farmers. "I killed them because God told me to. They laughed at the power God had given me to make it rain. To laugh at one of God's disciples meant death." Schroeder told the authorities. Germany To Pay But Part of Debts BERLIN, Aug. 15.—The German cabinet decided today that it could pay only 500,000 pounds sterling on account of private debts owed to allied citizens, instead of 2,000,000 pounds demanded by Premier Polincare. This payment is to be made under the so-called "clearing procedure." Watch and jewelry repair, Wifman's. DRIVER KILLED AS TRAIN HITS AUTO LOS ANGELES, Aug. 15.—Hurried thru-the air for a distance of 15 feet when the truck he was driving was struck by a speeding Southern Pacific passenger train at Buena Vista crossing, near Burbank, P. P. Barnes, an employee of a gravel company was instantly killed, early today. The train, No. 60, due in Los Angeles at 8 a.m. from San Francisco, was stalled for a time at the crossing as a result of damage done to the engine in the crash. According to the engine crew Barnes attempted to beat the fast moving passenger train over the crossing, but the truck was hardly on the tracks before it was lifted and thrown to one side, the driver spinning through the air for a short distance beyond. The truck was reduced to kindling wood and in the crash a portion of the motor struck the steam chest on the locomotive, bursting the feed pipes and rendering it out of commission. HUNTINGTON BEACH OILMAN INJURED C. C. Henderson, employee of the Standard Oil Co., at Huntington Beach, was brought to the local hospital suffering with a badly injured hand, which was crushed in an elevator block.

Carter of Brea, is also a patient at the Sanitarium. That's all—She—that's all. ealer NGE COUNTY BUILDING PERMITS TELL STORY OF ANAHEIM'S GROWTH Year 1921 $1,254,375 No. of Permits 862 Year 1920 870,960 No. of Permits 564 TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR G HIMSELF MAY ISSUE BONDS AND NOT RAISE TAX RATE Anaheim city council, now in the throes of budget-making for the new fiscal year, may decide to call a bond election to provide funds for completion of the city hall and park improvements to meet demands for sewers and water mains in new subdivisions and for paving intersections in street improvements. This will be done to avoid a marked increase in the city tax rate. Council wants to hold the rate at the present figure. The matter has been discussed informally and definite figures for the bond issue have not been announced. Figures which have been suggested are: For completion and furnishing of city hall, $50,000. For park improvements, $25,000. For sewer and water mains and paying of intersections, $25,000. The original bond issue for the city hall, voted last year, was $75,000. MONARCHISM IS DEAD IN GERMANY ed increase in the city tax rate. Council wants to hold the rate at the present figure.

For park improvements, $25,000. For sewer and water mains and paving of intersections, $25,000. The original bond issue for the city hall, voted last year, was $75,000. The contract price is over $100,000. Furnishings will make it necessary to scrape up $50,000, council estimates. The sum of $25,000 discussed for park improvements is regarded as little enough and undoubtedly much more will be expended later. The council is spending something like $10,000, received from sale of the former auto camp park on Cypress-st. This is going principally for baseball bleachers, grading, laying water pipes, planting trees and shurbery and other preliminary. A plunge and park superintendent's home are among the next development items. Likewise, $25,000 will be little enough for water and sewer mains and for paving intersections. More than this amount has been expended within the last year and street paving projects which property owners are axious to have completed are now being held up because of a slack city treasury. The rapid growth of the city, the number of subdivisions being developed, has brot demands faster than the tax money could meet them. Relieved of the need of dipping into the general fund via a $100,000 bond issue, the council believes the strain will be somewhat relieved. ROTARY CLUB WILL PLAY BIG BROTHER Within a short time the local Rotary club will begin a campaign similar to the "Big Brother" movement to aid boys in the city. The matter was discussed privately, following yesterday's luncheon meeting in the Elks' clubhouse. John Wallop has been appointed chairman of the committee in charge. The plan is to canvass every house in the city, present a card containing a questionnaire, tabulate the answers and then begin actual work. The age, education, hours out of school and similar questions will be asked, according to tentative plans now being formed. E. T. Cassels, president of the Exchange Bi-Products Company of San Dimas, which utilizes the culls of oranges and lemons, was the speaker at yesterday's meeting. He told of the saving possible thru using the culls, an amount in gross revenue estimated at $500,000 annually. Five per cent of the fruit is wasted by increased in the city tax rate.
