M. C. A. directors met. LAUNCH CAMPAIGN FOR 300 PUPILS AT WHITE TEMPLE S. S. Launching a campaign to add 300 new members to the White Temple Sunday School, an enthusiastic meeting with Rev. Coe, Wellman presiding, was held last evening, beginning with a picnic supper at which the Sunday school board provided coffee and cocoa. Every department except one, was represented, stepping causing the one absentee. The high school orchestra furnished excellent music, and Prof. Young for the Fullerton Junior College, with Prof. Wright, at the piano, sang several solos. Mrs. B. F. Steelhead played piano numbers and gave two pianologues. Two-minute speeches were heard from representatives of all departments, and Rev. Wellman as toastmaster, with a tuneful cowbell, reminded each speaker if he "overtalked." The cradle roll was represented by Mrs. W. H. Wellman; the beginners, by Mrs. William Wagner; the primary, Mrs. J. K. Langdon; the juniors, by Mrs. E. W. Brown; intermediates, Mrs. M. Tedrick seniors, Prof. B. F. Steelhead; the high school Wayne Goodale; young people's Clifford Elliott; Chas. Eygabroad's class, W. M. Wellman; Men's class, Perry Mathis; Fldells class, Miss Bella Walker; for the whole school of which George M. Tedrick is general superintendent, Mr. Tedrick was spokesman. Dr. J. A. Gelssinger spoke for the church. Mr. Locke, a winter visitor from Heckla, S. Dak., also made a brief talk. Although the goal set was for 300 new scholars, reports indicate at least 450 will soon be added to the roster. The different departments have plans for contests which will soon be put working. Y. M.

She prepared herself for stardom, she presented qualifications that caused Universal to select her for the leading feminine role in "The Jilt," an all-star picture which was made under the direction of Irving Cummings and will be offered at the United Theatre tomorrow. In like manner Universal chose only recognized players of proven ability for other principal roles in "The Jilt." Ralph Graves of the Griffith school of acting was chosen for the romantic masculine leading role, and Matt Moore of "The Storm" for the character lead. Just before "The Jilt" was started Graves completed the masculine leading role in "The Long Chance," an all-star Universal film version of Peter B. Kyne's story which has met with unusual success. A big share of the honors bestowed on the cast of "The Storm" went to Matt Moore for his portrayal of a role similar in character to the one he has in "The Jilt." Eleanor Hancock, grand dame beautiful of the screen whose successes in "mother" roles are innumerable, and Harry DeVere and Ben Hewlett, players of popular standing, complete the cast of "The Jilt." To Irving Cummings, once an actor himself, Universal entrusted the direction of hits impressive cast. KING TOOK DOORS FOR TEXAS In old English towns during the 17th century if the owner of a building failed to pay the taxes due the king the doors and windows of the building were taken off, every one in it was turned into the street and the structure had to remain idle for a year and a day or longer before the doors might be redeemed in open court or before the building could pass to the next heir. "Imagine what would happen if this practice were in effect today in greater New York, where there are $60,000,000 of uncollected taxes," concludes Edward P. Doyle. Yes, and with a coal shortage such as we have this winter. SERIES OF ORANGE WEEKS The series of Orange Weeks thrust out the country have begun.

CITRUS PRUNING DEMONSTRATIONS A series of citrus pruning demonstrations has been arranged by the agricultural Extension Service and Farm Bureau in six sections of Orange co. The follow-up treatment of trees frosted last year will be featured in the sections that were affected by the cold wave. These questions—Does it pay to prune, and—How much pruning is necessary for maximum fruit production—will be answered by actual demonstrations. Several citrus pruning crews who operate in the county will attend these meetings to see the best known standards of pruning demonstrated on lemons and oranges. All citrus growers are invited to attend. The schedule of field demonstrations is: Tuenday, Feb. 13, 2 p.m.—Garden Grove—Place of Carl Nichols, 2 miles west of Garden Grove on boulevard. Wednesday, Feb. 14, 10 a.m.—Yorba Linda—Place of Murray Horne El Cajon-st., near Valley View-ave. Wednesday, Feb. 14, 2 p.m.—El Modena—Howe's ranch headquarters.

LARGEST HANGAR TO HOUSE ZEPPELIN WASHINGTON—Within the largest single room in the world—the hangar built by the United States Navy at the Naval Air Station at Lakehurst, N. J.-America's first large "home-built" rigid airship, the ZIR-1, is now under construction. Lessons learned from European builders, augmented by those gained through its own experiences, have NEW YORK BOXER DIES AFTER FIGHT NEW YORK, Feb. 6.—A bombardment of blows to the head, under which he stood up gamely for 11 rounds, brought death today to Andy Thomas, a prominent contender for the welterweight world’s boxing championship. Concussion of the brain was the immediate cause of death. Thomas collapsed in the ring during the twelfth round of his battle with Johnny Clinton at the Broadway Exhibition association last night. He was carried to his dressing room where doctors worked over him throughout the night, but he died this morning without regaining consciousness, after having been removed to St. John’s hospital. No arrests have been made so far, but it is certain that Johnny Colton and the promoters of the bout will be brought up for examination, though the coroner’s jury is expected to return a verdict of accidental death. Europe may well know that Uncle Sam does not view with favor and approval all that is going on “over there.” LARGEST HANGAR TO HOUSE ZEPPELIN WASHINGTON.—Within the largest single room in the world—the hangar built by the United States Navy at the Naval Air Station at Lakehurst, N. J.—America’s first large “home-built” rigid airship, the ZR-1, is now under construction. Lessons learned from European builders, augmented by those gained through its own experiences, have enabled the Navy Department to plan and start construction on its first Zeppelin type airship, which, the department believes will be the foundation for the nation’s future success in commercial and naval aviation. Several years have been required for equipment and construction of the plant, before work on the big ship could begin. Construction of one single room, with a clear floor space of 804 feet by 264 feet, and 192 feet in height, was one of the problems to be soved by engineers before work on the ship itself could be begun. SAVIOR’S PICTURE SOURCE OF FEAR The superstitious, the credulous, the believers in hoodoos, haunts and curses, give a wide berth to the safety vault of Maj. P. J. Mitchell here. That vault contains stocks, bonds, records and other prosaic things of the everyday business world—and a beautiful painting depicting the Savior. It is this picture of the meek and kindly Nazarene that strikes terror in the heart of the superstitious. For it has accumulated a tradition of murder, suicide and violence. It is believed to carry with it a curse, similar to the hoodoos supposed to accompany the Hope dmond, the Kohti-Noor and other mous jewels, which spells violent death to those contact with it. Maj.
