The February aggregate, not counting today's permits, amounts to $140,045 and this is the largest month in three years or more with the exception of six months—December, 1920; October and November, 1921; April and July, 1922; and January of this year. It compares with $129,800 for the entire year 1916, $89,500 for 1917 and $92,000 for 1918. There were 63 permits, mostly for residence building. The February record is remarkable in that the largest single expenditure called for in one item was $20,000 for the new packing house of the Union Pacific railway on East Cypress-st. The next largest was $17,320 for P. M. Edwards' frame tenements at 533 West Center-st. With those exceptions the largest item of the month was only $7500. With January's showing, permits so far this year call for an expenditure of well over half a million dollars or $531,940. FAVOR NOMINATION FOR RESERVE BOARD WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.—The nomination of D. R. Crissinger of Marion Ohio, to be head of the federal reserve board, was ordered favorably reported without opposition by the senate banking and currency committee today. OPEN CAMPAIGN FOR ORANGE-CO QUEEN Campaign for election of queen for Orange-Co. day at American Historical Revue and Motion Picture Exposition opens this week. Three queens will be nominated today. Eight queens are to be elected by southern counties. Each will reign on the special day assigned to her county and all will appear at the premiere with honored guests among whom will be the distinguished delegation from Washington, D. C., which will make that rahs-continental trip to take part in the celebration of the Monroe Doctrine Centennial. The honor of being one of these queens is something that every girl will long to attain. The queens will represent California. The most beautiful and most popular girls will be chosen, because they are to symbolize what is best in the state. To them will be accorded all the adulation that enthusiastic subjects pay to a sovereign. During their reign they will focus the attention of the crowds who will be proud to pay due reference to the beautiful ruler of a day. Tentative plans are being made for a ball for each queen at which she may hold court at the end of her brief reign. The designs for the immense stage to be placed in the center of the Coliseum contemplate its use as an outdoor ballroom, which will be illuminated with colored lights and will be most picturesque as a setting for the pageantry of a court of youth and beauty.

S. met with Coach Lucille Blickley this afternoon to decide on the senior play the last of May. Among those considered are "The Man of the Hour," "Disraeli," and "The Thirteenth Chair." The first named seems to be the most popular and in all probability will be the once chosen. AT CALIFORNIA HOTEL New guests at the California Hotel Fullerton, include: A. M. Kruse, M. J. Gruff, M. J.

PRACTICE GAMES GARDEN GROW Coach Ray Elliott's tangled with Garden Grove afternoon in the first part of the season. BREAK 'EM UP COLD, GRIP, INCAPSULES LOCALS WILL PLAY HUNTINGTON BEACH FOR TITLE SUNDAY Who's baseball champions of So. Cal. anyhow? That's what they are going to find out Sunday afternoon at Anaheim H.S. field when the local Merchante, titleholders of the Double A league, meet the Standard Oil team of Huntington Beach, champions in the Triple A. Needless to say, it's going to be some game since there is no much at stake. Despite the absence of Doty Bush at second, the locals are expected to be in tip-top shape after last Sunday's rest. If it were known that McDowell and the rest of the crew would have their batting eyes as they did in the battle with Pasadena, there would be no need playing the game, despite the general assumption that the beach olimen are mighty fast company. Manager Billy Knott was attempting today to get in communication with Johnny Butler to take the place of Bush at second. The rest of the local lineup would be the same. Bush's finger, injured in the Pasadena game, is recovering rapidly and he expects to report again to the Angels March 17. SMALL CROWD SEES GOOD BOXING SHOW By Sargum Sproat The weekly bill at the Athletic club arena last night was great, medium and poor. The last three numbers were great; the third and first numbers were medium and the second was poor. Last night's attendance was the poorest of the season. The Tuesday before I was the best. Last night was a beautiful night to be out, it was not cold or even chilly. The CALIFORNIA THEATRE ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS DIRECT FROM THE BIG TIME HERBERT BETTLE “HEART ST Featuring Rence Bonnie. A Splendid Act—One You'll Raise TOOTH PICKS A-1 Brand Dancers BARNES AND LORRAINE Singing and Talking AND ON THE SCREEN Elaine Hammersto GOOD BOXING SHOW By Sargum Spread The weekly bill at the Athletic club arena last night was great, medium and poor. The last three numbers were great; the third and first numbers were medium and the second was poor. Last night's attendance was the poorest of the season. The Tuesday before it was the best. Last night was a beautiful night to be out, it was not cold or even chilly. The card as advertised was about on a par with preceding cards. What's worrying Darley is why the difference in attendance. The show was slow in getting under way and was started by a pair of substitutes, Pete Brown and Ernest French. The first two rounds were slow and even. French came to life in the third and after battling Brown groggy finished him with a terrific right to the heart section. Jess Reed tried a come back in the second event with a big kid by the name of Gilmore. Jess is a "once was" but no more. Darley says that he is punch drunk. Not knowing, I can not say just what is the matter. Anyway, the bout made me feel goofy. Old Jess packed a wallop that landed often enough to keep the kid wobbly and the fracas resembled a mix between drunken sailors. It was called a draw and I guess it was. At this point in the show, Mr. Sam Baker issued a challenge to the whole broad world, Jess Willard, Skil Firpo and Jack Dempsey included, then Mr. Baker proceeded to demonstrate to us by shadow boxing just what he could do to any of the above mentioned. Mr. Baker is 21 years old, stands well over six feet unshod, weighs 226 pounds, never has had a fight but is just aching to go. He looks like a champion but might be duck soup. Young Buffy beat Kid Rubio three out of four rounds in a very clean and scientific manner. Rubio was in a bad way at the finish. Batting Doty and Jimmy Musso put up a great battle in the fourth out of the evening. This Musso always puts up a great fight. He landed about two blows to Doty's one, but Doty hits like a mule kicks and had Jimmy very groggy several times. It was a terrific battle and would have made a good draw but Doty got the powder puff. Paul Wilkins and Johnny Nandes spilled dynamite all over the ring for four rounds and emerged all battered and worn but about on an equal footing so they were given a draw. Johnny proved beyond a doubt that he is a real tough bird to pick. Paul Wilkins is class and tough as they take 'em and Johnny's showing is a big boost for the little brown battler. Jimmy Douglas proved his staying qualities in the wind-up. He met a wicked little southpaw in Baby Gans.

E.E.Lamhofer was granted permission to install a service station at W.Comwealth-ave,and Malden-ave.Petitions against the W.A.Goodwin proposed service station at have made a good draw but Doty got the powder puff. Paul Wilkins and Johnny Nandes spilled dynamite all over the ring for four rounds and emerged all battered and worn but about on an equal footing so they were given a draw. Johnny proved beyond a doubt that he is a real tough bird to pick. Paul Wilkins is class and tough as they make 'em and Johnny's showing is a big boost for the little brown battler. Jimmy Douglas proved his staying qualities in the wind-up. He met a wicked little southpaw in Baby Gans. Jimmy had to land a knock down to be in the going at all in the first round. Guns used a straight pile driver left to the mid section that had the Arizona lad slick all the way. The second round was even. In the last of the third, after Douglas had taken several terrific wallops in the stomach, he knocked the Baby down three times for the count of nine. In the fourth the Baby started out to win by a knockout but fell short and the Arizona lad had him down for the count of nine, four times and just laid him low the fifth time at the bell. The punishment Douglas stood up under and still retain strength to butter his man down was great. All in all it was a good show to a very, very bum house. INTERCLASS MEET OPENS TRACK WORK Track season will open at Anaheim HI Friday when Coach Ray Elliott will stage an interclass meet. There are a number of new cinderpath stars this year and Coach Elliott hopes to pick some brilliant flashes for the tri-county meet, March 24 at Huntington Beach. Art Mann was elected track captain.

BREAK 'EM UP QUICK COLD, GRIP, INFLUENZA CAPSULES [Joyner] No light or multi-sensing device. WHITTIER STATE IS BASEBALL WINNER At Whittier yesterday afternoon, the Whittier State School baseball nine trimmed Fullerton 6 to 4 in a close and exciting game. Fullerton looked like the goods in the third inning when the lads piled up three runs and forged into the lead. Whittier, however, was not out to lose for the boys came back strong in the fourth, scoring three runs through a batting flurry. One was a circuit out by McLaughlin; a clutch that would have made Babe Ruth wince with fear. After the fifth inning, the opposing heavens settled down to effective work and no more runs were scored. The following was the score Fullerton ... 013 000 000—4 Whittier State ... 020 310 00x—6 Batteries—Whittier, Schultz, Vincent and Barone; Fullerton, Boisserance and Dunbar; Umpire, Peetch. MABEE READY TO MEET MR. MEYERS By Sargum Sprout Roy Mabee stopped his tractor long enough this morning to say that if Mr. Meyers is so anxious to wrestle in Anaheim he can have his wish most any old time. Roy is a busy man these days getting his cover crop turned under, pruning lemon trees and training on the side for his match in Riveride, March 6. He meets "Tag" Tageson in that city in a finish match, and "Tag" is some go-getter. "Tag" is a fast and furious grappler, getting most of his victories over in from 2 to 10 minutes. A whirl with "Tag" will put Roy in good shape to accommodate Mr. Meyers and als famous 'stopper hold'. early meeting of the committee.
