A second new duplex house will be started in a few weeks. Wellman & Tagart are seeing these lots and expect them to be all taken within a short time. Being situated on a paved boulevard and but a short distance from the center of town they are demanding a great deal of attention from the homeskeeper.

Disregarding the soft-hearted suggestion which Deputy District Attorney D. G. Wettlin ventured to make that he so plead, Neal, who was two hours or more late, pleaded not guilty and was told by Justice J. B. Cox that his ball of $100 was forfeited and the case dismissed. Neal is sald to have nearly run down several persons yesterday at Placentia and Richfield avenues, and Undersheriff E. E. French swore out the complaint against him. M. R.

These demonstrations will convince you that the Arch Preserver Shoe must give you advantages you can not get in ordinary shoes. Quality Shoe Store BEISSEL-NEWCOMB & SCHILLING 111 E. Center St. Anaheim 103 E. 4th St. Santa Ana MONTHLY CLASS IN MARKSMANSHIP FOR ORANGE-CO SCOUTS (By Boland E. Dye, Scout Executive) At Anaheim last Friday, two demonstrations of scouting were given which aroused considerable enthusiasm both among the men and among the boys. At 11:30 a special assemblage was held in the Intermediate School Auditorium at which time ten scouts demonstrated various phases of scouting to the pupils of that school. Later in the day at the Lion's Luncheon, a group of six scouts in charge of first class scout, Jack Mac Fadden, gave a demonstration of both the serious and comic side of scouting. At the end of the demonstration at the Intermediate school, a short talk was given by the scout executive in which some of the work was outlined. More than fifty boys indicated their desire to become scouts if scoutmasters were available. It was pointed out at dred boys in Orange county are willing and anxiously awaiting the opportunity to become scouts if leadership is available. Two new troops are in view for Anahela as a result of this demonstration—one in connection with the Episcopal church and one in connection with the Lion's Club. This week's bulletin carried the announcement to all first class scouts of Orange County that Col. M. B. Wellington, chairman of the district committee for District No. 2 will open a monthly marksmanship class to be conducted near the Orange Count Park. Scouts from all over the county will be present next Saturday, March 17th at 2:00 p.m. to learn how to handle a rifle for marksmanship. This does not include military instruction, commonly known as the Manual of Arms but only the rules as prescribed by the National Rifle Association to promote safety in the handling of firearms. Saturday March 21st will be a day of double interests to all non-comissioned officers of scouting in Orange County. This includes scribes, patrol leaders and assistant patrol leaders. Motion Picture Made Mostly During Night In making many of the sequences for "When Danger Smiles," the William Duncan picture which will be shown at United Theater tomorrow, it was necessary for the company to work from sunset to sunrise for over a week. The company was on location in the foothills, 30 miles from the studio in the vicinity of Calabasas. A battery of lights was necessary to light up the foreground for the action, and in the distance could be heard the thunderous beat of cow-punchers and companions riding to the schoolhouse dance. The music of the singing night groups sifted through the air, and the bright tint in the sky gave evidence through the light to the inhabitants; for many miles around that William Duncan was staging another western. The night scenes are thrilling and full of people. In several of them William Dunman engages in fist combats and does especially daring feats of horsemanship, in which he is closely rivaled by his far co-star, a girl whose fearless daring has won for her a place in the hearts of movie fans. WAGNER ADDRESSES F. H. S. OIL CLASS Last Wednesday forenoon, Mr. Carroll M. Wagner of the General Petroleum Corp. gave a very interesting address to the students of the Oil Production Class of the Fullerton Junior College. The class is composed of oil men of whom several are employed by the G. P. corporation. Mr. Wagner reviewed the action of the geologic agencies whose combine efforts have produced the present land surfaces of the country. A speaker was careful to point out that these same agencies are still unceasingly at work as ever, but since their action is very slow and is spread over immense stretches of geologic time, their work during our brief lives does not usually attract attention. BATTLE CREEK MAN TELLS OF TRAVELS IN SOUTH AMERICA A movie in words was enjoyed today by Kiwanlans, when A. O. Jones of Battle Creek, Mich., painted a vivid picture of his travels in South America. Who knows that Peru had a civilization antedating perhaps that of Egypt? Who knows that the knowledge of the control, of yellow fever and of the Bubonic plague, gained largely on its practical side in the course of building the Panama Canal, is largely responsible for the development of South America? Jones took his hearers all the way from Ecuador to Punta Arenas said to be the southernmost civilized town in the world. This city, with a climate like Alaska, now is preparing to construct a 700,000 dock to accommodate its shipping. Generally speaking, said Jones, there are only two classes on the continent, the very rich arsenic and the very poor serving class. It is near Lake Titicaca, Peru, where there is a temple in ruins that marks a civilization which prevailed that of Egypt, according to the speaker. The temple was in ruins when the Incas began to flourish. There are stones weighing 36 tons fitted so closely together that a knife blade cannot be inserted between. Above the lake is Cuzeo, the seat of the Incan civilization. Buenos Aires is one of the finest cities in the world, with a population of 2,000,000 out of the total of 800,000 approximately in Argentina. The leasing system, whereby it is impossible to buy agricultural land, is keeping back civilization in Argentina, said the speaker. Rio de Janeiro—river of January—named because Magellan, when he saw the bay in January thought it was a river—is the most beautiful city on earth, said Jones. Miss Randall, international Community Service workers, spoke on recreational activities. Introduced by J. F. Alhbern, local head of the service, Miss Randall said that "the use of a nation's leisure is important." Orange County Park. Scouts from all over the county will be present next Saturday, March 17th at 2:00 p.m. to learn how to handle a rifle for marksmanship. This does not include military instruction, commonly known as the Manual of Arms but only the rules as prescribed by the National Rifle Association to promote safety in the handling of firearms. Saturday March 21st will be a day of double interests to all non-commissioned officers of scouting in Orange County. This includes scribes, patrol leaders and assistant patrol leaders. Part of the morning will be spent in a short dedicatory service of the Memorial Drive which the Boy Scouts of Orange County are now building at the entrance of the County Park. This program will be under the direction of T. E. Stevenson, chairman of the Memorial Drive committee which is joint committee appointed by the Board of Supervisors and the Boy Scout Council. Robert Northerross, county forester, has direct supervision of the planting of all shrubs, trees and plants that have been planted in this drive. A plat ten feet wide and a half mile long on each side of the highway was recently given by Mr. James Irvine for that purpose. The American Legion of Orange county have gone on record as endorsing and commending the Boy Scouts for this step in the establishing of a permanent memorial for the men who gave their lives during the war. This ceremony will be the celebration of Arbor day by the Orange County Boy Scouts. The balance of the morning and the afternoon will be spent in instruction for patrol leaders, assistant patrol leaders and scribes in how to better handle their jobs. The Court of Honor is endeavoring through this method, to advance every scout who is registered during the coming year at least one rank and greater stress will be laid on Training Program of scout officers during this year with that purpose in mind. Saturday, March 29th is the day designated as the quarterly scoutmaster's training day to be held at Orange County Park. The program of training will start at 1:30 p.m. sharp. All scoutmasters, assistant scoutmasters and troop committees are expected to be present at that time to learn more of the "how" of Scouting. The regular monthly meeting of scoutmasters will be held Monday, March 19th in Fullerton. Two courts of honor will be held this week, one at Orange, under the direction of Leon O. Whitsell, chairman and the other at Brea under the direction of E. J. Marks, chairman, March 16th. The Orange session will be held in the basement of the first presbyterian church, the home of Orange troop No. 3. The meeting for District No. 5 will be held in the new Scout Hall in Brea. Mr. R. R. Miller, chairman of the Court of Honor for Districts No. 1 and No. 2, which includes Santa Ana, Tustin, Garden Grove and all terri- Junior College. The class is composed of oil men of whom several are employed by the G. P. corporation. Mr. Wagner reviewed the action of the geologic agencies whose combine efforts have produced the present land surfaces of the country. Speaker wan careful to point out that these same agencies are still as unceasingly at work ever, but since their action is very slow and is spread over immense stretches of geologic time, their work during our brief lives does not usually attract attention. By careful study of the causes which are in operation around us, we can work out the history of the older formations. So Calif. is a wonderful place for the study of dynamic and structural geology. Few districts can compare with it in that respect. Mr. Wagner reviewed a very wide range of subjects, among them the geologic history of the Imperial Valley. The Valley he said was formerly occupied by the sea, and was then an extension of the Gulf of California. Many old seashore lines may still be seen on its sides today. The Colorado river, emptying into the east side of the old Gulf, dumped salt and gravel into it, and gradually extended its delta across until it formed a wide dam. The Colorado then turned south into the present gulf, leaving the upper part of the gulf cut off from the sea, so evaporate and fill up with detritus from the surrounding mountains, and thus form the Imperial Valley of today. On the origin of oil, Mr. Wagner said that one thing was certain; namely, that all known oil deposits were associated with the remains of one kind or another of living organisms. However, more than the presence of rocks favorable in this respect is necessary to arrive at commercially valuable oil deposits. In Southern California, showings of oil could be found by drilling anywhere, but a "showing" had no money value. Commercial pools of oil only accumulate under favorable structural conditions. Dealing with the characteristics of some of the well known oilfields of So Calif., the speaker said that the oil pools had a general northwest to southeast trend because they occupied folds caused by earth pressures that pushed the formations towards the northeast against the rigid and immovable granite core of the Santa Ana mountains. The earth folds nearest these mountains were sharper than those farther away and that fact influenced the character and extent of the oil pools. Long skirts keep the March winds busy.
