THE robbery of auto accessories and parts at Santa Monica and elsewhere, escaped last night from the County hospital. The hospital put the four together in the strongest cell in the place with the exception of one reserved for the most violently insane patients, and kept watch over them up to nine o'clock. The quartet are: Harold Foot, 14; Robert Foot, 12; Carl Greenberg, 12; and Lyle Walker 12. They were locked up with one comrade, a younger lad, in the morning. Before they left they told this boy that they would go to Tia Juana. Plans for the escape evidently had been laid carefully in advance. The man confined in the cell next door said that beyond whispering he had heard nothing. The hospital is being used temporarily for juvenile delinquents regarded as unfit to associate with the young people in the Juvenile Home. It has no cells like those of a prison, but practically all its cells have wooden doors with partition windows that can be broken without much difficulty. In possession of the boys when they were arrested were scores of articles, including two $10 gasoline books, a flashlight, fountain pen, kodak, glove, deck of cards, two cakes of soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, etc. The four hailed a police car, thinking it was a private machine. City Marshall M. E. Jamison of Orange and Deputy Sheriff Ed McClennan quizzed them and found they had been to Culver City, Playa del Rey, San Pedro, Long Ebach, Belleflower, Artesia and Anaheim before getting to Orange.

BEET GROWERS ROSY OVER ADVANCE IN PRICE FOR SUGAR This will be the best year for Orange county sugar beet-growers in several seasons. David Jessurun, manager of the Anaheim Sugar Co., said today. Prices to the growers are based on prices actually received by the factories. Sugar has been steadily rising and now has reached the highest figure in two years, says Jessurun. "If they don't prosper this season they never will," said Jessurun. Sugar is costing retailers $9.13 a hundred, compared with $7.80 Feb. 3. A jump of $1.33 in about two weeks. The lowest price so far this year was $7.18. In April of last year sugar was selling at less than six cents by the hundredweight. Then it was that the industry was in the doldrums completely. The prices given are those of G. E. Kitchen. Kitchen's own opinion is that sugar is going down again. He believes that the jump of $1.33 was due mainly to the temporary stimulus of speculation.
