A Universal Picture TONIGHT Lew Cody and All Star Cast in The Secrets of Paris FAST BOUTS OPEN FIRST TUES. NIGHT PROGRAM AT ARENA For the Athletic Club's weekly baxing show next Tuesday night, Manager Billy Darnley, has booked an excellent looking card. For the feature, Darnley has the signature of that good Oklahoma boy, Paul Wilkins, to meet "Irish Jimmy" Clayton of New York. Clayton is making his first start down south since arriving from the east about three months ago. He has had a few bouts in the northern part of the state, just enough to get himself accustomed to the four round stride. He has boxed with some mighty good boys of his weight and his record shows that he came thru with flying colors in most of them. He is meeting a nifty boy in this Wilkins lad, a fast clever possessor of a wicked right hand wallop that spells curtains when it connects. Wilkins and Ad Rubidoux met over at San Berdoo recently and we'll tell the wide wide world that Ad had to work overtime to cop the decision. The semi-windup, too, shares attention, and it is liable to offset the main event for interest, for Darnley has Husky Harry Lee, the Huntington Beach idol, lined up to meet Jack Moore, a clever ring performer from Los Angeles. This will be Lee's first ring encounter since his unfortunate experience with Jack Iman at Delhi a couple of months ago. Since then, Lee has been taking good care of himself and learning a few more tricks. He now feels able to go again and better than ever. Jimmy Douglas, Phoenix lightweight, who has a K. O. punch, and Young Burton, local ebony-hued leather pusher, will meet in the special event that promises to be a whirlwind all the way. Three snappy preliminaries round out what looks like a 100 per cent program. GO AFTER MURPHY BUNCH FROM GONG "We're going to go right after the Standard Murphy bunch from the sound of the gong tomorrow," was responding to requests from Anaheim automobile enthusiasts, F. G. Cox, fiscal agent for the Doble Steam Motor Corp., agreed to allow the 1923 Doble Steam Motor Car, now on exhibition at the Paige Garage, to remain in this city until 9 p.m. Sunday, to permit those who are unable to attend the week-day demonstrations to enjoy a ride. Mr. Cox, who was in Anaheim today, insists that his schedule will not permit him to allow the car to remain here over Monday also, because of engagements for its showing already made in nearby communities. “Finished cars are now leaving the San Francisco factory on a regular schedule due to standardization of production,” declared Mr. Cox this morning. “Preliminary arrangements are being made for the release of the company's quarter-million dollar cash escrow fund. The sum is practically in hand now, and arrangements for its release to us will be made as speedily as possible in order that personnel and plant facilities may be immediately increased. “The policy of the company is to give its stockholders the first opportunity to purchase cars before beginning to fill orders from outsiders.” Mr. Cox left this afternoon for Pasadena to inspect the 1923 de luxe bodies under construction at the Walter M. Murphy Body Works under the personal supervision of Abner Doble, inventor of the car. The San Bernardino Orange Show will witness the initial appearance of the latest model—the 1923 de luxe Phaeton. ANAHEIM DEFEATS SANTA ANA 28-15 Many moons have passed since Anaheim boys basketball quintet defeated Santa Ana Hi squad. The feat was accomplished last evening by 28 to 15.a score that satisfies both teams Anaheim was by far the superior. The game was closely contested. Ross of Anaheim was the star./Neither side used subs. Anaheim players: Ross, Pohlmann, forward; Wallace; Jansss.

Manager Knott is hoping for some real baseball weather but he knows the fans will turn out anyway for a game with the Irish Drillers. Hughes and Salveson are both in fine fettle and the team, which has been hitting a terrific stride with a long string of wins, should give the oilmen the best battle of the season. WIRELESS IN CHINA HAS FIGHT AHEAD PEKIN.—Federal wireless, the American corporation that plans to build a series of high powered wireless stations in China, is meeting a stiff opposition from three other nations which claim wireless or communication rights in China. Two of the claims are monopolistic. While the United States will back the federal concern, it is not likely that construction will begin until the protests of Great Britain, Japan and Denmark are out of the way. It is the general opinion that both Japan and Great Britain are protesting as a means of persuading China to reimburse their nationals for money spent on projects in China or to obtain some kind of settlement with federal wireless. BORROWED BABY MANCHESTER, Eng.—Jduge Melor noted that almost all the women who appeared before him one morning had babies in their arms. Then he found out that each one had carried the same baby, borrowed from its mother, to play on the court's sympathy. GOLF IN A BEDROOM LONDON—A tenant complained to a magistrate that she was annoyed by her upstairs neighbors who, she declared, played golf in their bedroom and kept her from sleeping. ANAHEIM DEFEATS SANTA ANA 28-15 Many moons have passed since Anaheim boys basketball quintet defeated Santa Ana Hi squad. The feat was accomplished last evening by 28 to 15 a score that satisfies both teams Anaheim was by far the superior. The game was closely contested: Ross of Anaheim was the star. Neither side used subs. Anaheim players: Ross, Pohlmann, forwards; Wallace, center; Janss, Newkirk, guards. Santa Ana players: Luck and Bowe, forwards; Linsebard, center; Golden, Smith, guards. The scheduled 110-pound game was called off. BERLIN NOW HELD MOST WICKED CITY BERLIN—Even Commissioner Enright of New York City would be forced to admit that the year of 1922 was a 'crime' year in Berlin. Berlin—before the war the city of safety—the world's most criminal city. During the year the police made 110,000 arrests for all sorts of crimes. Two thousand persons were physically attacked by robbers. Hotel and pension robberies totaled more than 1,000 with only 95 arrests. Much of the attention of Berlin robbers was directed toward foreigners in Berlin, whose foreign money appealed to the German thief. Museums and churches were especial victims of burglary. Pickpockets drove a thriving business during 1922. Never before in the history of the city have there been so many complaints along this line. On trains, on ousses, in hotels, on streetcars, on the streets and in theaters—everywhere, thieves separated innocent victims from their jewelry and their pocketbooks. Hose can be wound on or unwound from a new reel without disconnecting the latter from a water supply pipe, around which it revolves freely. The automobile industry has grown to immense proportions in this country. Great automobile factories are spoken of in terms of tens of millions and hundreds of millions.

Calif. championship after a 24 to 10 defcat of the fast squad from Riverside last evening at the local gym. The locals played their usual good game and kept in the lead from the beginning. The girls featured quick passing. Coach Jacques' champs are now ready to meet any other contender for the So. Calif. honors. The usual Anaheim players fought: Ella Cook, Frances Adams, Mae Requarch, Esther Hile, Irma Young, Helen Daly, Evelyn Cordes and Viola Lensing. Riverside coach also brot her second squad. The visitors defeated the local second squad 20 to 21. Rosie Labourdette was put in as forward at the beginning of the last third. The score then was 19 to 7 in Riverside's favor. In the last third, Riverside made two points and Rosie went the credit of 13 additional score marks. The local line-up: Rosie Labourdette, Elizabeth Schwienfest, Marie Noll, Wilma Mitchell, forwards; Sarah Fay, Alice Longeval, Frances Reed, Delma Patton, centers; Madeline Tousseau, Arline Pleper, and Catherine Carner, guards. BILL'S CAFE GAINS LEAGUE LEADERSHIP Bill's Cafe gained the undisputed leadership of the City League last night when they trimmed the Whittier No. 2 team all three games and in doing so hung up a mark for the other teams to shoot at when they knocked over 958 pins in their second game, their 2575 total is also the high mark of the season. Larry Larrison rolled 213 for the best score of the night and the "Mighty" Johnson came back to form with a bang and shot 582 for high total of the week. In the other match the Keen Hat Store team kicked the Silver Moon Cafe out of first place by taking all three games, Capt. Koran and "Acc" in WAR STORMS CANON—Experience has taught the Chinese that the display of wealth has its disadvantages. The military authorities nad bandits know the value of motor vehicles, so that when there is a prospect of conflict they requisition every car LOTS SELLING FAST IN WALLOP TRACT "Lots in Wallop subdivision are selling much faster than we anticipated," states Mr. A. E. Hargrove of the Hargrove Realty Co., exclusive agents for this choice subdivision. "Out of a total of 57 lots, 21 have been spoken for before we were ready to accept payments on them. These come from people who found out that we were arranging to market this trapt, and who wanted to be sure to secure the lot they wanted." "We have arrangements whereby we can build homes on these lots on the monthly payment plan, and there is no further reason why any one should not own a home. Rent receipts represent at best only a temporary place to live and are afterwards worthless. Payments on a home represent assets worth keeping, or an equity that can be cashed in at any time by selling to someone else." CHINESE HIDE AUTOS IN WAR STORMS CANON—Experience has taught the Chinese that the display of wealth has its disadvantages. The military authorities nad bandits know the value of motor vehicles, so that when there is a prospect of conflict they requisition every car RED TAPE PROTECTS SECRETS OF CITIES PARIS,—French archeologists are up in arms against the administrative methods of the republican regime which have prevented the government from accepting an American offer of several million francs for research in Carthage, the ancien city of Dido and Hannibal, now suburb of the capital of the French colony Tunisia. The trouble comes from the fact that there are three departments concerned, the department of Fine Arts of Tunisia, the department of Fine Arts of France and the ministry of foreign affairs. They are unable to agree on the method of acceptance of the gift. "Our administrative system is no much more advanced than that of China," said M. Babelon, director of the Medal bureau of the department of Fine Arts. "American archeologists offer us $25,000 a year for 100 years, which means a gift of several million francs, for the purpose of pursuing researches in the old Punile city. In spite of the favorable report of our experts, the government has not been able to accept the offer because of a conflict between the various departments. BEARDS AS SECURITY Though beards have of late become somewhat more fashionable in the United States, it is doubtful if ever again will be valued as high as they were in some European coun- CHINESE HIDE AUTOS IN WAR STORMS CANON—Experience has taught the Chinese that the display of wealth has its disadvantages. The military authorities had bandits know the value of motor vehicles, so that when there is a prospect or conflict they requisition every car they can lay their hands on, giving a receipt that in nine cases out of 10 is worthless. The result is that many are thief of buying cars for fear of loss. Now when troubel is brewing, automobiles disappear from the streets like snow before the sun and are hidden until the trouble is over. Last spring when Chang-tso-lin, the war lord of Manchuria, and Wupel-fu decided to try their strength, the streets of Pekin were empty of all but the cars of the foreigners and sales absolutely stopped; this is a common occurrence. The unification of China and the discontinuance of civil war will be the greatest single helper in motor car sales, for the other handicaps will disappear when there is peace. KNOWS HER SKYLINE AS WELL AS STREET CHICAGO—An idle dreamer she seems, this woman who silently watches, day in and day out, the smoke that pours from Chicago's smokestacks. High up in one office building, then another, Mrs. Sarah B. Tunnicliff, member of the city smoke abatement commission appointed by Dr. Herman N. Bundesen, commissioner of health, sits hours by hours, her eyes roving abstractedly over the city's roofs, picking out stack after stack that is violating the smoke ordinance by spewing black clouds that spread and merge into a jaundiced pall over Chicago. When her gaze seems most idle and unconcentrated, she has, perhaps eight or nine smokestacks under observation. The notebook in her lap holds not fancies picked from the air but practical comments pertaining to smoke density, location of chimney and time it was under observation. As other citizens know their streets so Mr. Tunnicliff knows her skyline. BEARDS AS SECURITY Though beards have no late become somewhat more fashionable in the United States, it is doubtful if they ever again will be valued as high as they were in some European countries during the Middle ages. France, three hairy from the kingboard were on special occasion placed under the seal of a royal charter as an extra guarantee for the fur fillment of the promises made in the document, and the beards of far less exalted folk were held in almost equal esteem. Thus, when the Porto guese Admiral Juan de Castro wished to borrow a thousand pistols from the corporation of Goa, the pledge of one of his whiskers was accepted as ample security by the city. BOBBED HAIR BAN LONDON—Belle Harding, leading dance teacher here, with branch all over England and on the continent has asked bobbed-haired members of her staff to let their grow. She says short hair does harmonize with present styles. HEIR BUT HE DIES PARIS—Jean Millett, 16 years sentenced to death charged with mending two women to get $10. The eve of the execution he receives his aunt had died and left him $2500. LIVING COST UP LONDON—It costs you 80 per cent more to live in London now than July, 1914, when the World War broke out, say figures just compiled by the ministry of labor. Sidestepping Mrs. Grundy "Why do you go on the balcony when I sing? Don't you like to hear?" "It isn't that. I want the neis horses to see that I'm not beating a wife."

Japan is clean—clean from center to circumference—clean by the verdict of every cop in the empire. The semi-annual, official, compulsory housecleaning—required by law in Japan of everybody—has just been completed. Every dwelling and structure, from the imperial palace to the humblest hotel, has been made spiked and span and clean as a Sunday morning shave. Every house has been inspected by a policeman. Those who hadn't cleaned were put in jail, while the law cleaned for them—for which the householder paid, in addition to his fine and imprisonment. Not keeping your house clean is most expensive and highly unpleasant in this country. MURDERS IN SLUMP LONDON—Figures just compiled show the theory that the war has lissened respect for life and increased murder is erroneous. England and Wales had 98 murders in 1912 and 100 in 1913. But there were only 107 in 1920 and only 85 in 1921. SUGAR INDUSTRY ON STABLE BASIS The sugar industry of the Philippine Islands has revived on a stabilized basis as a result of recent increases in the price of sugar. Prior to the increase the industry was sustaining a grave setback. The industry has increased the production of sugar from 30 to 50 per cent since instituting the all-American plan, he said. Even raising of the cane now is done by Americans. The total export business this season will reach 250,000 tons, most of which is for the United States. A large portion of this country's quota will go to New York. FOR THE BUSY MAN PARIS—An ingenious plan for the absent-minded business man has been conceived by a French inventor. It consists of a wrist watch with the day-time hours divided into 15 minute division. Into each of the divisions a tiny card could be interested with a word or two written upon it to remind the wearer of his appointment or task for that moment. When the minute hand reached the card a small alarm bell rings until the memorandum card is withdrawn.
