This "Questionnaire" is part of an official training manual called "Studies in Citizenship" and contains an introduction by General Pershing who urges the importance of the studies. Here are a few of the questions: "Why is it impossible to gather as from thistles?" "Who won the war against Germany?" "What is a slacker?" "Can a man be a slacker in time peace?" "How does a careless baseball player interfere with the success of a team?" "What difference does it make neither the voters in America voteelligently or not?" "What is the senate?" "How can the constitution be ended?" "Can you suggest any changes or conditions that would make the constitution fit the present conditions?" SEC'Y AGR.

Peering eyes and creeping figures, stealthy steps, all about—Comes the storm, then the Calm—and Love wins. Coming Thursday UNITED Theatre DANZ BACK FROM EASTERN JOURNEY Mr. and Mrs. Louis Danz arrived home late yesterday from a nine weeks' tour of the eastern cities, fully convinced there is no spot like Anaheim. Sightseeing, music and shows, with a visit among Mrs. Danz's relatives in Ohio, constituted the pleasures of the journey. They visited Cleveland, Pittsburg, had a week in Washington, D.C., visited Mt. Vernon, three weeks in New York, a week in Boston and several other cities in the Atlantic states. They heard the Symphony orchestras of Cleveland, Boston, New York, Chicago, and easily decided that none of them compare with the Los Angeles Symphony under the direction of Walter Rothwell, whom Mr. Danz considers of ability far superior to any eastern conductors. He holds Chicago as the nearest rival. Living in the east is much higher than in California. For a small order of asparagus, Mr. Danz was charged $1.25. Oranges of the Sunkist brand sold in New York two for 25c. Other foods were high in proportion. The weather, except three or four days in Washington, was disagreeable. But the trip was interesting and both Mr. and Mrs. Danz returned home feeling physically fine and mentally superfine. The Anaheim Community Chorus greeted them with a scenade at their home last evening and welcomed them to their place in the music life of the city. INSIDE STORY OF KRUPP RIOT TOLD By S. D. WEIR (L.

ESSEN, April 3.—The first "Inside" story of the trouble which led to the killing of eleven Krupp workers by the French was revealed to International News Service this afternoon by Theodore Sander, member of the executive committee of the Krupp workers council. He was the star witness at the official inquiry. "I tried twice to negotiate with the French soldiers who had occupied the Krupp motor truck garage," he said. "One of them said to me: "We don't want to shoot these poor people, but to send them home. And make those damned sirens shut up." "I saw that the thing was getting serious. I went into the administration building and told the directors that we would have to stop the sirens if we wanted to prevent blood-shed. Then I hurried back. The sirens stopped but it was too late. A minute after I had returned to the garage, the French opened fire and the Germans began to fall in every direction."

It does not present any great historical period; does not picture any enormous spectacle; has no tremendous mob scenes, but Mr. Griffith has departed from the heavy and spectacular to tell a modern and strictly up-to-date mystery story. The mystery picture is new to the screen, and critics point out, naturally follows the increasing popularity in the last two or three years of the mystery stage play. 7-PART PROGRAM AT THE CALIFORNIA The greatest vaudeville road show that Anaheimers have ever seen in any local theater! This is rather a broad statement, but according to not only the theater but those who know, the great 7-part program coming next Thursday is not only the most brilliant but also the most elaborate and costly bill ever shown here.

And elaborate act with special settings and effects, it will be among the great hits next Thursday. DeLoach and Corbin, those two darktown panies need no introduction here. They keep their audiences in a continuous uproar throughout. Leo and Chapman, a whirlwind gymnastic thrill-feature has more daring stunts during the time they are on the stage than anything hitherto presented here. On the screen will be shown celebrated Elaine Hammerstein in her wonderful new picture "Under Oath". Supported by a superb cast, "Under Oath" is a veritable knock-out. A World Events News Feature will also be shown. Regular prices will prevail for this show, and there will be three performances during Thursday.

CAVE MEN FINDING LIFE'S PATH HARD A few years ago it was legal in most states of America to beat a wife, providing the stick or weapon was of wood or lighter material and was no thicker than the husband's thumb. Today if a man speaks crossly to his wife and demands that she do a lot of work, and chides her for most anything with rude phrasing, the judge says he was wrong and generally slices off a sizable portion of his salary for alimony. Time does fly, as one of the wise crackers of by-gone days asserted. "The Flaming Hour," a Universal production starring Frank Mayo, comes to the United theater tonight as an entertaining lesson on how to make a temper fit a marriage contract.
