TIGRESS TASTES OF ROUTINE OF PRISON SAN QUENTIN, Calif., June 4—Convict 37,944, San Quentin penitentiary's latest woman prisoner, Clara Phillips before the prison gates shut upon her—entered upon the drab routine of prison life today. She rose at 6:45 and had breakfast with the 52 other women in that department of the prison. After she had assisted her cell mate, Ethel Seward, serving a term for burglary, in tidying up their cell room, she went to the hospital for the customary physical examination given all prisoners upon entrance to the prison and omitted yesterday because it was Sunday. Clara made her toilet today without the customary touch of rouge and lipstick. San Quentin prisoners in the women's department are permitted to buy face powder but no rouge. Clara's "beauty box" which she carried to Honduras and back, is locked in the property room. Sunday was a quiet day for Mrs. Phillips. She rose late—8:30, a concession on account of the day. Sunday duties are light and Clara found time hanging heavily upon her hands. She endeavored to play the piano but her nerves were too unstrung and she gave up the attempt. She finally sat for a long while in the little flower lined courtyard of the women's quarters and then wont to her cell. Other women prisoners attended a motion picture in the assembly hall. Clara will not be assigned to definite duties until probably Wednesday. The women do their own laundry, wash dishes, care for the women's quarters, look after the flowers in the little courtyard and wait on the table in their department. Clara was pleasantly received by the other prisoners, the matron said, all, including Mrs. Louise Peete, serving a life sentence for the murder of Jacob Denton, had a word of swimpathy for her.

The demonstrations are prepared at minimum cost. Local committees of clubwomen aided by the local chamber of commerce prepare these demonstrations under the supervision of the national council of Better Homes in America, of which Herbert Hoover is Chairman. A resolution endorsing the Better Homes movement was adopted by the General Federation of Women's Clubs at this year's meeting at Atlanta, Ga., May 12th, describing the movement in the following language: "Its aim is to direct the family life back into the home channels, to increase the efficiency of the home, to relieve the drudgery of the housekeeper and to stimulate the cultural and aesthetic phases of home life."

Another feature of the campaign has been the development of an ideal home library list of 200 books authorizing the issuance of costly move is dry law repeal By GEORGE R. HOLMES (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, June 4—Repeal of the New York state enforcement law is going to prove costly to the federal government. Instead of approximately $5,000,000 appropriated for the enforcement of prohibition during the present year, prospects are today that at least $25,000,000 will be asked of congress to keep the country dry next year. New York alone will require a tremendous increase in enforcement personnel. Even then, strict enforcement is going to be a dubious proposition. President aHrding wants to see every policeman and every official an active enforcement agent and will make this emphatic to the governors. The request of the prohibition bureau for greatly increased funds will precipitate one of the many wet and dry fights in congress which already looms up. The employment of either army or navy forces by the federal government in enforcing prohibition will be one way out of the difficulty, but officials are dubious about the constitutionality of this means. Representative Fred Britten, Republican of Illinois, a wet leader, who announced he would introduce a beer and light wine bill on the first day of the new congress, issued an explanatory statement of his proposed legislation today, stating that $700,000,000 or more than enough to run the whole army and navy for a year could be produced in revenue by permitting the manufacture and sale of beer and light wines under federal tax.

In addition to organizing many communities, the federation has prepared, under the direction of Miss Lida Hafford, a picturesque demonstration house at Washington, under the shadow of the White House, Donn Barber, nationally known architect, drew the plans from the design of the famous Payne homestead on Long Island, which inspired the writing of "Home Sweet Home" a hundred years ago. A group of national building materials associations joined to build the house which is a model of modern standard construction, and has been erected in less than five weeks. After the campaign it will become a permanent Better Homes demonstration house. The home economics phase of the campaign has been supervised by Miss Martha Van Rensselaer, head of the home economics department. LINSEED MONOPOLY (By International News Service) WASHINGTON, June 4.—The U.S. supreme court today sustained the government in its contention that a monopoly in violation of anti-trust laws exists among manufacturers of linseed oils through the medium of the Armstrong bureau of related industries.

"ORANGE COUNTY'S FINEST FURNITURE STORE STROUP-BARNEY FURNITURE - COMPANY NEW CITY HALL ANAHEIM, CALIF. Tuesday, June 5, 1923 OLD SONG DISPROVED BY PRETTY ROMANCE A pretty romance terminated at Santa Ana Saturday when Paul Fredell, 28, and his lovely sweetheart of 21, Miss Anna L. Ressler, were married. Both were of Mankato, Minn. The old song says, "If you love a pretty girl, better marry her while you can; for if you ever cross the plains, she's gone with another man." The author must have bestowed his affections unfortunately; for his theory is disproved. Mr. Fredell was featured in the Plain Dealer columns some time ago as a salesman of the White Star Off Syndicate who had made a most phenomenal success in a very short time. The reporter was on the verge of calling him a married man and saying he intended bringing his family here. Then the secret leaked but, Mr. Fredell was not married, but had left a sweetheart in the old home town. He wrote her of his success and asked her to come to him. She came about three weeks ago and they fooled their friends. Saturday by slipping away and getting married. They plan to make their home at the Hotel Valencia.

"BOTH EYES OPEN" SERMON SUBJECT "Both Eyes Open" was the sermon subject of Prof. Carl Knopf last evening at the baccalaureate services for Anaheim high school graduating class. Wonderfully impressive was the address of this eloquent speaker as he told how so many students and others go into life's activities with one eye closed. They wake up to realization when it is too late. Prof. Knopf stated that the study of history is the science of keeping your eyes open. Prof. Knopf is with the religious education department at U.S.C. and was formerly connected with Fullerton Junior college. The auditorium was packed to capacity. Dr. Mabel Roe sang very beautifully "Agnus Dei" in Latin. She was accompanied by Mrs. Bert Steelhead on the piano and violin obligato by Mrs. Marion Higgins. Mrs. Steelhead played a piano solo and Mrs. Marian Higgins violin solo. Assisting pastors were Rev. Thomas H. Walker, Rev. L. L. Myers and Rev. Sam Gott. The boss is the man who can relieve his grouch without flirting with a blue envelope.
