OFFER 176 LOTS AT NORWALK MON. The opening date for the sale of lots in Broadmore at Norwalk has just been announced to take place Monday, Oct. 2. The H. S. Sewell Co., with main office at Long Beach, has taken the exclusive selling agency of this property. Branch offices have been established in Whittier Santa Ana, Anaheim, Artesia, and Norwalk. The J. T. Lyon Realty Co. will represent the Sewell organization in this city for the brief period while these lots are on the market. Prior to the opening of this subdivision comprised of 176 lots the owners of the property, received numerous tempting offers to lease this property for drilling purposes. Practically every lot owner in Norwalk has succumbed to the pressure of the oil boom in Norwalk which has started since the splendid showing of the Petroleum Center well just south of the town on the boulevard to Artesia. The Petroleum Center property is adjoining the Broadmore Addition. At the 1800 foot level this well struck a tremendous gas pocket which threatened to cause some trouble, but the pressure was finally brought under control with the aid of a high pressure cap on the casing. Before this well on the south was proven to be over the gas pocker which was struck at the same depth as the Bell Well in Santa Fe Springs two miles north, this subdivision was already laid out in 50 foot building lots with streets, water system, gas, and electricity ordered under bond with the county. In spite of the possibility of drilling for oil on the property, the Sewell company is opening the tract at the original prices from $750 upwards for the full size building lots. The property is located in Norwalk, just across the street on section line from the high school. The main boulevard passes by the property on the west. According to Mr. Sewell, head of the selling firm, the entire tract should be sold out within a very short time at the present rate of inquiries and reservation that have been made for lot ahead of the FROM A GERMAN DUNGEON Paris is interested in a human wreck calling himself John Gurchison, a former student at Yale, who has reached the French capital after 11 years in a German prison at Heidelberg. Before the war Gurchison won a scholarship at Heidelberg's famous university. Soon after he killed a German student in one of those duels which is customary at German schools and was sentenced to 5 years in prison. An attempt at escape got him 6 years more. While he was buried from the world the Great War came, but Gurchison undergoing 11 years solitary confinement knew nothing of it until his release. His body is covered with scars inflicted by the wardens and the American embassy is investigating the case. Here is medievalism in the 20th Century. Militarism is its partner. And true to form we find it surviving in the most military country. Doctor (looking at thermometer) — Hum! I don't like your temperature. Patient—Then why did you take it? with the county.

Smith, who is developing the famous Eastmont Tract on Whittier boulevard, can be made the foundation of an independent fortune. "Good realty" said Mr Smith, "is a tangible, visible asset upon which a man may borrow money at the bank. On the other hand rent receipts have no value to their posseasor, other than showing where his money has gone. I have been very much interested to observe the attitude of bankers and financiers in general towards the financing of homes on lots on the east side of Los Angeles. It seems that they are giving the possibilities of future growth and future value considerably more attention now than they did in the past. "The man who owns a lot in Eastmont should find little or no difficulty in securing the co-operation of financial interests in building him a home on this property." Eastmont is the very latest of Mr. Smith's development projects and is the first instance of his handling a proposition of magnitude on the east side of Los Angeles, as all his previous enterprises have been on the west side. Eastmont is located on Whittier boulevard, 15 minutes from the heart of Los Angeles by automobile and just across the highway from the site of the new yards and shops which the Union Pacific contemplates building. It is only a short distance from the end of the Whittier carline and is right on the edge of the Montebello oil field. This situation, it is held, gives Eastmont unusual values, not only because the workmen who will be employed by the railroad will demand homes in the immediate vicinity, but also because it is upon a main traveled highway and because it possesses a potential oil value. In making the offering Mr. Smith places certain building restrictions upon the property for the protection of his investors, but at the same time he permits the erection of temporary homes on the rear of lots, as it is a particular objection of his that no serious obstacles should be placed in the way of any man who seeks to get substantial home.

Marett, the anthropologist, tells of a cave in Jersey near the Bay of St. Brelalde, where scientists dug down through some 20 feet of clay and rock rubbish, probably carried there in the course of the last ice age that mantled Europe, and discovered a prehistoric hearth with the large stones that had grouped up the fire, and even some shells. Bones were found in a heap of food-refuse, which when examined proved to be the remains of the woolly rhinoceros, the reindeer, two kings of horses, of a wild ox and of a deer. Thirteen human teeth were found in the food-heap. The diners had also left their knives—flint chipped on one side.
