FIRE PREVENTION WEEK OBSERVED The nation has been observing Fire Prevention Week in a manner far in advance of former years. This has been accomplished through a realization by governmental, business, civil religious, educational, fraternal and other interests of the necessity for curtailing the enormous annual fire loss in the United States. During the week, communities have vied with each other in conducting activities to impress every citizen with this important phase of the national life. Proclamations were issued by President Harding and most of the governors. The mayors of many of the larger cities addressed messages to citizens calling upon them to conduct special efforts leading to the reduction of fire waste. Printed material was prepared and given wide circulation in many communities. In some cities a fire prevention slogan was printed on the back of transfers, on slips inserted into packages sent out by department stores, and on bills set out the first of October. Special posters were displayed in store windows, on street cars and in other places. Special meetings were held and addresses given at regular luncheons and meetings of civil organizations clubs and fraternities. In some cities speakers presented phases of fire prevention at moving picture performances. Special reels dealing with the subject were shown. The radio was used to broadcast fire prevention suggestions. The importance of properly training the school children in fire prevention methods has not been neglected. In some communities members of the city fire department were sent to the schools to explain to the children how to prevent fires and what to do in case they occur. The children were told of fire hazards in the home and in some cities they were given home inspection blanks to fill out. The proper method of sending in a fire alarm was expained. Essays on fire prevention were written in upper classes. Fire drills also were held. Fire Prevention Week afforded an excellent opportunity to initiate a general clean-up of the city or town. What's in a Fish? W. E. Allen California Biological Feature Service Just as is the case in any other line of human activity there are many different kinds of people who fish. But they all have one thing in common and that is a longing to again experience the exciting moment when a fish takes the bait and by a jerk on the line telegraphs that he is on. For the joy and exhilaration of this moment many are willing to stand by the hour in surf or on rock or on pier in hopeful anticipation of its coming. When the bites are few and far between there are various ways of spending the time waiting. On our pier some men lie down and go to sleep, others watch the sea birds and clouds, others watch passersby on the highway others engage in conversation and some think about the habits of the fish which they try to catch or which they can see swimming around the piling. Real thinking about things is often productive of an active effort to learn facts about them. It is the basis of real scientific investigation. This summer I was a good deal interested in the fact that Donald Fry, a high school boy from South Pasadena, had been doing the kind of definite thinking which leads to investigation. His particular line of thought was concerning the food of different kinds of fishes seen and caught about the pier. Finally he whetted up his pocket knife and proceeded to examine the stomach contents of fish which he caught. What is more important as indicating a scientific tendency of work is the fact that he also took notes, thus making accurate record of his information which he was then able to organize. Finding him thus inclined we were able to give him some temporary assistance with our facilities and I am sure that a good many people will be interested in what he found in the few fish which he examined. In three specimens of surf perch, each about seven inches long, he found several acorn barnacles and pieces of shell, ten goose neck clams and fragments, a sand crab and parts of others, a piece of worm, more or less sand and some small creatures more or less resembling shrimps. BIG RETURNS LEMONS TIME With lemon shipments forming 9,000 cars this season prices averaging only a box less than the last year, the state, incite will fare surprising association and excel declare. The frost whole was less than because, as Manager lands of the Anaheim on Ass'n explained, was more susceptible, was ed by snudge pots,tection was needed.

Prices this year In some communities members of the city fire department were sent to the schools to explain to the children how to prevent fires and what to do in case they occur. The children were told of fire hazards in the home and in some cities they were given home inspection blanks to fill out. The proper method of sending in a fire alarm was expalined. Essays on fire prevention were written in upper classes. Fire drills also were held. Fire Prevention Week afforded an excellent opportunity to initiate a general clean-up of the city or town. Local authorities in some cities called upon the citizens to do their part and assisted them in every way possible. As a result homes, factories and mercantile establishments were cleared of dangerous fire hazards. Where this sort of work has been effectively conducted the community not only presents a better appearance but is much safer than it was a week ago. In several cities the fire departments have given parades or special exhibitions. Today, October 9, is the anniversary of the starting of the Chicago conflagration of fifty-one years ago. For the past eleven years it has been designated as Fire Prevention Day. This year it is the last day of the special campaign. The results which this city has attained in the celebration of Fire Prevention Week will be measured not so much by the interest which has been shown as by the continued interest which is shown throughout the year. The campaign has simply impressed upon our minds the need for greater care and the methods which should be utilized to insure that fires will not occur. Unless every citizen considers the matter a personal problem and does his part each day fires will continue and our fire loss for 1922 will undoubtedly be higher than it was in 1921. The Village Gossip Citizens of Anaheim were startled the other day to see a land-going life-boat "making knots" through the streets of the city. The boat was riding on a trailer attached to a fliv-yer full of brawny life guards from Hermosa Beach on their way to give a demonstration of live-saving and rescue work and to organize a volunteer life saving corps at Lake Elsinore. They are all members of the Hermosa Beach Volunteer Life Saving Corps, an organization which has achieved a coast-wide reputation as one of the most efficient in existence. None of the members receive compensation for their services and equipment is bought by public subscription. Nine guards made the trip to Elsinore for the purpose of organizing a similar corps there. They gave a thoroughly comprehensive demonstration of rescue and resuscitation work for the largest crowd ever assembled at the lake. DUNTON PLANS BIG USED CAR EXCHANGE Grading has been started on the vacant lot on the east side of Los Angeles at between Cypress and Chatties-sts for the largest used car exchange in Anaheim, to be operated by George Dunton, Ford, Fordson and Lincoln distributor. The lot in 110 feet deep and faces 135 feet on Los Angeles at Dunton is erecting a fire-proof, corrugated iron shed 14x90 feet which will stand 30 feet back from the sidewalk. He hopes to have it ready by Saturday. REAL REVIVAL HELD AT TENT MEETINGS A real revival is going on at the tent meetings, Los Angeles and Wilhelmina-sts, not the dry-eyed, hand-shaking, card-signing kind, but where a real mourner's bench is used and the saved shout for joy. The evangelist insists that people will know when their sins are forgiven. Upon urgent request the meetings will continue thru this week and over Sunday. Eight persons united with the local church Sunday. People are corring from Norwalk, Santa Ana, Whittier, Garden Grove, Orange and other places. Friday evening the evangelist has announced she would speak from the word of God comparing it with the teachings of Christian Science, Spiritualism, Russellism, Theosophy, Mormanism and Adventism. Bring your friends. Free seats, community singing. Books furnished at the tent. nore. They are all members of the Hermosa Beach Volunteer Life Saving Corps, an organization which has achieved a coast-wide reputation as one of the most efficient in existence. None of the members receive compensation for their services and equipment is bought by public subscription. Nine guards made the trip to Elsinore for the purpose of organizing a similar corps there. They gave a thoroughly comprehensive demonstration of rescue and reusitation work to the largest crowd ever assembled at the lake. The Hermosa Beach Corps is captained by W. W Kennedy, with First Mate Edward Finney in charge of water instruction. Victor Stahell, city engineer of Hermosa, works in conjunction with the corps with his aeroplane, dropping a net to drowning persons too far out to be reached in time with the life boat. As far as is known, Hermosa Beach is the only city possessing an airplane life-guard system. Unfortunately, while taking off at Lake Elsinore, Mr. Stahell ran into an air pocket and the plane dropped into shallow water where it turned turtle. Mr. Stahell was strapped in the seat but succeeded in unstrapping himself while his head was under water. He was miraculously uninjured, but the plane was so badly damaged by the crash that it was impossible to give the airplane demonstration. HAIL TO TROLLEY COMING TO PEKIN PEKIN, Oct. 9 — Lumbering Pekin earts, the squeaking wheelbarrows and the most comfortable of all conveyances, the ricksha, must take to the sidestreets. The streetcar is coming. Along all the Ta Chiehs, or great streets, rails will soon be laid and wires strung. Even the love of Chinese and foreigners alike for Pekin's masterpieces in architecture, could not prevail against the modern trend. Just who will ride in the electric cars is something of a puzzle. The working class in Pekin walk mostly, but the street car will enable the tollers to get out to the parks for a few coppers. Heretofore these people have been kept from the outlying parks and temple grounds. It is too far to walk after work and rickshaw fare any longer.

This is the sixth Lincoln Dunton has received since taking over the agency.

BIG RETURNS FROM LEMONS THIS YEAR With lemon shipments from California aggregating approximately 9,000 cars this season to date and prices averaging only five or 10 cents a box less than the high rates of last year, the state, including Orange-co, will fare surprisingly well, leading association and exchange managers declare. The frost damage as a whole was less than that to oranges, because, as Manager G. W. Sandilands of the Anaheim Orange & Lemon Ass'n explained, the lemon, while more susceptible, was better protected by smudge pots, etc., where protection was needed. Sandilands estimates of shipments show that the total this year is higher than normal, taking normal as the average of the past five years. Last year—Nov. 1 to Nov. 1—11,000 cars were shipped; 1920, 8,000; 1919, 9,000; 1918, 5,000. That is, the average of the five years has been $-400 cars. The average return exceeds normal far more proportionately than average shipments, for last year's record prices were almost equalled. Foreign imports were as heavy as usual this year, according to Sandilands, but the duty of two cents a pound or $1.60 per box did not take effect until early in the summer. When it did take effect, prices rose. But in August imports almost ceased although lemons still are being shipped. This strengthened the market still further. Finally, the American supply turned out to be smaller than was expected, and had been cleaned up steadily, with the supply in storage below normal. Prices this year ranged from appriate.
