He must be able to open a safe without dynamite or drill, but by the "touch system" alone, on the style of Jimmy Valentine. Mrs. Gibson has forgotten the combination, and for three years the little safe in her sumptuous home has been locked. In its depths may be anything from exquisite jewelry to flimsy bric-a-brac, bubbles and heirlooms valuable as they only remind Mrs. Gibson of past triumphs or the tears and laughter of years gone by. Not caring to write it down, she confided it to a friend. Mrs. A. E. Baermann, then associated with her in war work at the Officers' club who wrote the numbers of the combination on the wall paper under a picture in the clubrooms. Mrs. Gibson spent some time in Europe thereafter. When she returned she appealed to her friend for the combination. The war was over. The clubrooms had been repapered and gone is the combination. CITY MAKES BUILDING NEW ENTRIES IN ANTHEM CONTEST Some Excellent Contributions From Mrs. J. L. Sheperd With last night marking the closing time for entries in the Anaheim anthem contest, it may be said that nothing of the kind has ever attracted so much interest in the city and district. Not only have contributions Another Mystery For L. A. Police LOS ANGELES, Jan. 16.—What's a police department for if it isn't to find things? Obviously that is the question that persisted in the mind of one woman who felt that she needed assistance of a peculiar character. As a result she penned the following note, which has caused more than one smile around central police station: "Kindly locate for me Jack Gleason who is an old man with thin gray hair, he rides on the line that goes from Boyle Heights to White Memorial hospital, and would likely be known to the conductor on that line. I have also seen a policeman on that line. I was in the city on a visit. I don't want this man for any crime or anything like that, I merely want PLAN SCOUT DRIVE HERE NEXT WEEK Preparations for the Boy Scout drive next week in Anaheim were made today by the local Kiwanis club at its weekly luncheon in the Elks clubhouse, when F.

FIRST MEASURE UP STARTS CONTEST SACRAMENTO, Jan. 16. — With the introduction of bills now under way in both houses of the California legislature, assemblymen and senators are getting into the swing of the lawmakers. The big measure today is one covering the reapportionment matter which has been gaining more attention ever since the legislature convened. A reapportionment bill is expected to be introduced today and the entire proposition is scheduled for a bitter contest. Appointment of the assembly reappointment committee gained more than usual interest. Eleven of the 21 members of that committee, as announced by Speaker Merriam, reside north of the Tachachapi. This is expected to be a factor in the reapportionment contest, as Northern California legislators are practically unanimous against the not caring to write it down, she confided it to a friend, Mrs. A. E. Baermann, then associated with her in war work at the Officers' club who wrote the numbers of the combination on the wall paper under a picture in the clubrooms. Mrs. Gibson spent some time in Europe thereafter. When she returned she appeared to her friend for the combination. The war was over. The clubs had been repapered and gone is the combination. Some Excellent Contributions From Mrs. J. L. Sheperd With last night marking the closing time for entries in the Anaheim anthem contest, it may be said that nothing of the kind has ever attracted so much interest in the city and district. Not only have contributions poured in from residents of the city but practically every section of No Orange-co has been represented. Some very excellent contributions have been received from Mrs. J. L. Shepherd who on previous occasions has written some very creditable verse. In a letter to Mr. Louis Danz, who offered the prize of $25, she says: "One sentence in an article in our daily paper remained with me. Merely, "that men can stand up and sing with gusto". It has been my observation that men will put all their hearts and souls in anything with a civic trend, where nothing could induce some men to sing of flowers, trees, stars, etc. With this end in view, I have endeavored to deliver something pertaining to the warp and woof, backbone and fiber of Anaheim, rather than her detailed charms. Both being his subject matter, one could hardly treat of both aspects of the life of our little city in verse so abbreviated in length of article and length of both verse and line. The jump from the civic or inner life of the town, to the outer aspect or natural advantages, would be so abrupt as to seem crude. "I have added to the shorter one, a third verse should it be desired, on separate sheet. "I have rendered two copies of the shorter article, with a slight difference in words which may be used in place of each other, without changing the context or punctuation. In the second line of a certain stanza, "Thy needs," could be changed to "Thy good," if desired. Of course it will make no difference if the lines are not acceptable. Anaheim is most too big a topic to be limited. Here's to the winner. Sincerely yours, MRS. J. L. SHEPERD. Oh Anaheim in fellowship And spirit, we unite To pledge in song our faith in thee; To shield tree with our might. Ours is the privilege to mould Thy destiny aright. Thy rapid progress is our pride; Thy needs our mutual care. Our hopes and aims are merged in thee; Thy safety is our prayer. Go forth, triumphant, Anaheim. To heights beyond compare. Oh Anaheim thy valiant men, From honest poverty. LYNCH R.R.
