XXVI—NO. 171 NELSON FAVORS CHANGES IN LAW TO SAVE PAVING Following numerous compalints of road destruction, including two recently from residents of Orange-thorpe and Garden Grove, delegates from which appeared before the Board of Supervisors, Dist. Atty. A. P. Nelson said today that he favored an amendment to the present ordinance, which fixes 22,000 pounds as the maximum weight of truckloads on boulevards. LOCAL POSTOFFICE SERVICE CRIPPLED BY HELP SHORTAGE Only one trip was made Monday by city carriers, both in the business and residential districts. Postmaster J. F. Ahlborn announced. The reason was the heavy mall, and not more than two trips instead of three in the business section was only one Nelson added that San Bernardino, Riverside and San Diego-cos. whose ordinance is uniform with that of Orange-co. appeared also to favor an amendment, decreasing the weight permitted. Ventura is said to favor a maximum of 20,000 pounds, and might be included in a new and larger group of southern counties favoring a uniform law. Imperial County also is disposed toward a strict control of truckload weights.

SON AND DAUGHTER PRINCIPAL H LOCAL POSTOFFICE SERVICE CRIPPLED BY HELP SHORTAGE Only one trip was made Monday by city carriers, both in the business and residential districts. Postmaster J. F. Ahlborn announced. The reason was the heavy mail, and not more than two trips instead of three in the business section was only one elsewhere is likely from now on, he said. Congress failed to pass the urgency efficiency bill and supplement the postoffice funds, and no funds now can be available until after July 1. Ahlborn has asked for two carriers and two clerks, and in view of the extraordinary need and the fact that his previous request in 1921 was turned down, he is hopeful of getting them. Since that request was tendered 706 parties have been added to the city carrier's total, one carrier alone having 183 additional offices, houses or what-not to call upon. During 1921 and 1922 1213 permits for new buildings were taken out. The office stands second in the state in respect to economical operation, said Ahlborn. The C. O. D. and insured parcel business doubled in 1922. More than 1000 persons call daily at the general delivery and parcels post windows, said Ahlborn, explaining why more clerks are necessary. The box capacity, which was doubled a year ago and now is taxed to its limits, is another reason assigned for more clerks. GASOLINE AT 10c WILL CARRY PROFIT SACRAMENTO, March 7.

MONEY TO LO ARE YOU IN MONEY TO BUILD IF SO, THERE ARE WITH MONEY TO VERTISING THAT CLASSIFIED PAGE MAKE IT A POINT THE CLASS ADS. in Dealer NG NEWSPAPER OF NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY Anaheim, California, Wednesday, March 7, 1923 Bottles Light for Aid of Night Hawks NEW YORK, March 7.—Light in bottles! Beginning this summer, you should be able to walk into a store and buy your supply of light at a price scarcely higher than matches. This is the prediction of James L. Howard, executive chairman of the National Institute of Inventors. He said today that bottled light could be used to illuminate the glow of midnight or out of doors. "A camper will be able to hang a bottle of light on a tree and forget all about lanterns," he said. "There's no need to strike a match, turn on the current, or fear that it ever will burn out. Yet it give brighter illumination than artificial light." The inventor of bottled light was said by Howard to have discovered a substance similar to radium, but much less expensive. This substance absorbs the light can be bottled and then gives off that light indefinitely.

Radium is Down And Yet it is Up NEW YORK, March 7.—The price of radium, most valuable mineral in the world, today was cut to $29,250,000 a pound, following announcement of the discovery of large deposits of rich carnotite, the parent ore of radium, in the Belgium Congo. Radium, because of the extreme scarcity, has been worth $58,500,000 a pound. Most of the metal came from Colorado, where the output has been two pounds a year. The new deposits are much richer, and it is estimated five pounds will come from the region yearly. It takes 90,000 tons of carnotite to assay one pound of radium.

The plan of the association membership is explained at length in the March magazine. OPPOSE PERMIT FOR ORANGE-DRAFT-MEN Prominent Los Angeles Builder Speaks at Dinner of County Exchange Who's Who in the building industries in Orange-co turned out to the number of 65 or 70 at the Elks club last night, when the Orange-co Division of the Los Angeles Builders' Exchange of Southern California held its first dinner meeting in Anahelm. Wilson & Bever, who made the arrangements, had a delicious repast prepared, and the talkfest which followed was interesting and timely. An orchestra furnished the entertainment. The Orange-co division was started several months ago. Working with the exchange, it aims to bring together all the building contractors of every sort, including master plumbers, electricians, painters etc. etc. and also all materials dealers, including cement men, lumber merchants, brick dealers etc. into one organization. It also aims to eliminate the irresponsible end disreputable contractor or dealer. Many Anaheimners were present at last night's dinner. The principal speaker of the evening was Godfrey Edwards of Los Angeles, past president of the exchange, a former director and now a prominent builder. Edwards gave his hearers a lot to think about. "What is the matter with the uilding industry?"—this was the topic about which his talk swung. Then Edwards proceeded to rehearse the "matters" he had in mind. Homes were being built by thousands with mechanics' ilens still upon them. The owner often had to pay two bills, one to the contractor and another to the materials men. Architects were trying to become contractors and contractors architects, and both failed. Building promoters tried to play the roles of contractor and architect combined, and it didn't work. Machinery dealers, and often materials men, frequent the halls of city councils, boards of supervisors and legislative halls, seeking contracts. One sometimes sees 22 segregation of the items of a single general contract with 32 alternative bids, according to materials used. All this is taking place, said Edwards, not in lean years of the country's second largest industry, but in the fat years. One of the lessons of experience continued the speaker, getting nearer the matter of the organization, was that the cement man, the brick man etc. cannot stand alone. The different groups of the industrial unit must co-operate. Mark Keppel, Los Angeles superintendent of schools, had virtually charged conspiracy among the materials men to keep up the prices of certain materials to abnormal high carriage. GARAGE AND ELGIN CAR CONSUMED IN FULLERTON BLAZE The garage and new Elgin car of U.W. Angel at Commonwealth-ave and Cornell-st. Fullerton, were burned yesterday afternoon, the garage being too nearly consumed when the fire was discovered to save the car. The damage was estimated at about $3,000. It was covered by insurance. The fire is thot to have started from a burning trash pile nearby. Fullerton firemen were also called cut today to extinguish a fire on the Santa Fe tracks, where a boxcar was reported to be burning. It developed that it was merely a trashpile near the boxcar. NEW PEACE NOTE TO ALLIES BY TURKS CONSTANTINOPLE. March 7. The allies must accept a peace treaty which conforms with the Turkish "nationalist" pact" or war is certain. Turkish newspapers declared today in commenting upon the action of the Angora assembly in rejecting the Lausanne treaty. The "nationalist pact" was the "Turkish declaration of liberty", upon which the Nationalist party was founded. Turkey today sent to the allies proposals for new negotiations regarding Mosul and the financial and economic clauses of the Lausanne treaty. The national assembly rejected the treaty yesterday, with only a few dissenting votes. STOLEN MOTOR LEFT AT OFFICER'S HOME Charles H. Kennil, 308 S. Helena-st., reported to local police last night that his Ford coupe car had been stolen. The car was found this morning in front of the home of Patrolman Fox, 318 E. Chestnut-st., who recognized it from the description of the stolen car. The police also picked up a stray nanny goat, which is being held for identification of owners. WOMAN SERIOUSLY OPPOSE PERMIT FOR ORANGE DRAYMEN LOS ANGELES, March 7—Reasons for opposing the ganting of a permit by the state railroad commission to the Orange Belt Draymen's association to operate an auto freight service in six So. Calif counties, and to issue and sell $250,000 worth of stock, were introduced today at the hearing before Commissioner Egerton Shore in the Pacific Finance building. With the closing of today's session the hearing was scheduled to be continued until March 15. HUSBAND DRILLED IN WIFE'S INJURY LOS ANGELES, March 7.—While physicians at the Seattle hospital ought to save the life of Mrs. Lucilleaines, a bride of six weeks, today, police grilled her husband, Frankaines, an oil driller, following the map of the bride from their automobile in Long Beach.

NEW BANK FOR COMPTON Following the sale by Fanny White of a large lot on Main street, compton, reports were current that new Compton bank would be housed in a new structure to be built on the lot. The property sold for $25,000, it was said. MONEY TO LOAN ARE YOU IN NEED OF MONEY TO BUILD A HOME? IF SO, THERE ARE PEOPLE WITH MONEY TO LOAN ADVERTISING THAT FACT ON CLASSIFIED PAGE TODAY. MAKE IT A POINT TO READ THE CLASS ADS. All this is taking place, said Edwards, not in lean years of the country's second largest industry, but in the fat years. One of the lessons of experience, continued the speaker, getting nearer the matter of the organization, was that the cement man, the brick man etc., cannot stand alone. The different groups of the industrial unit must co-operate. Mark Keppel, Los Angeles super-intendent of schools, had virtually charged conspiracy among the materials men to keep up the prices of certain materials to abnormally high levels, when the mere suspicion of collusion would mean expulsion from the exchange, said Edwards. There had been a reference during the evening, said the speaker, about Anglenes trying to get contracts away from local contractors. Well, San Francisco contractors had moved down to Los Angeles and now Los Angeles was moving out to Orange-co in the general replacement. Edwards declared that in Los Angeles many a member of the exchange itself didn't know how to figure a job. He didn't realize that a cement mixer wears out and that depreciation year by year must be subtracted for it. The contractor didn't know how to figure overhead. Regarding plans, he said his own firm, which had built a thousand houses in and about Los Angeles, never had employed any but certificated architects. Referring briefly to the Breed bill, which suffered a pocket veto on the part of former Governor Stephens, Edwards said that, while State contractors were perfectly honest no doubt; this bill was needed in the interest of full publicly regarding actual costs of a public work done by contract, particularly if the contract involved day work. The bill again will be pressed. Edwards concluded with Raymond Hitchcock's clever travesty on the way the income tax of a man was figured. He was introduced by C. E. Bresler, secretary of the Southern California chapter of the Associated General Contractors of America, Santa Anan. J. Simon Fluor of Santa Ana, president of the division, which is the first county division formed, preceded, but turned over the gavel at once to George Wells, of Santa Ana, who acted as toothmaster. Several speakers preceded Edwards. Fluor voiced the hope that more (Continued on Page Three). STOLEN MOTOR LEFT AT OFFICER'S HOME Charles H. Kennil, 308 S.

NI CRASH Mrs. C. C. Hull, wife of C. C. Hull of the Harry D.

TERRIFIC BLIZZARD HITS NEW YORK NEW YORK, March 7.—A blizzard of intensity that recalled the storm of 1888 swept New York and adjacent states today. Snowfall early today totaled five inches or more and was so dense FULLERTON AGREES TO PROVIDE WATER FOR COYOTE HILLS Fullerton city council last night tentatively agreed to furnish the Stern Subdivision on the Coyote hills north of Fullerton on the Brea-rd, with city water, $15,000 for this purpose being advanced by the owners of the subdivision, to be repaid by the city in $2,500 payments extending over a period of six years. A broster pump and a tank must be installed, and other expenses met. The trustees think that the opening up of this tract, which consists of 40 acres, is but the beginning of the development of the city northward, which may soon include the Bastanchury ranch also. L. P. Drake, trustee, hitched his wagon to a star, figuratively speaking, without having the endgate fastened, predicting a population for Fullerton of 50,000 in 1927.

TERRIFIC BLIZZARD HITS NEW YORK NEW YORK, March 7.—A blizzard of intensity that recalled the storm of 1883 swept New York and adjacent states today. Snowfall early today totaled five inches or more and was so dense as to obscure visibility for more than a few feet. Street car rails became so icy that this kind of traffic was demoralized.
