TOWN IN REVIEW BY OLD TIMER THIS might be entitled a true story of little brother and his big sister's beau. The names will be withheld, but a certain reliable patriotic man on the local police force will vouch for the accuracy. The beau was taking big sister for a ride in the evening. Little brother sneaked into the back of the car and hid under the blanket. Then with pricked ears he was able to hear everything HE SAID, and what SHE SAID in return, a paradise for boyist mischeviousness. But his "eavesdropping" was to be cut short, for Big Sister, attracted by a noise—maybe. Little Brother gaining a more comfortable position under his blanket, possibly a giggle—looked back, and saw a pair of eyes staring at her out of the darkness. Self-controlled, she did not scream, but simply kept quiet until better road was reached and then told her beau. He stopped, jerked the blanket off the crouching form, and demanded who and what he was doing there. Poor little brother! His evening of fun at Big Sister's expense was spoiled. Count was taken Sunday of the cars which passed thru Brea and the number is said to have amounted to more than 10,300. Of this number 45 were given tickets on the charge. 12 HURT A. C. of C. Discu TRY TO BRING HARDING TO ANAHEIM New City Park Declared Best Place for Reception in Orange-co. The matter of a public reception for President Harding and party looked back, and saw a pair of eyes staring at her out of the darkness. Self-controlled, she did not scream, but simply kept quiet until better road was reached and then told her beau. He stopped, jerked the blanket off the crouching form, and demanded who and what he was doing there. Poor little brother! His evening of fun at Big Sister's expense was spoiled. Count was taken Sunday of the cars which passed thru Brea and the number is said to have amounted to more than 10,300. Of this number 45 were given tickets on the charge of violation of the Motor Vehicle law by J. C. Looney, marshall, and his deputies. COUNCILMAN Howard Gates of the park committee and City Mgr., Q. E. Steward are puzzled over an expenditure for pond lilies. Would the taxpayers think $2,000 too much for this item of park development? It would take that amount to beautify immediately as they would like the lagoon, which is about 500 feet long, and from nine to 120 feet wide, and which cost $5,000 for cement work.. They have about decided to split the difference. For $1,000, they can plant over 700 lilies of 25 varieties, ranging in cost from $1 to $25 each, besides about 25 lotus and a quantity of other swamp plants. Within two years, the water plants will about double in number. Planting the water lilies is interesting. They are placed in boxes of dirt under the water. Within a few weeks the blooms appear. Some of the lilies planted in the first pools to be completed are already in blossom. DON'T pinch yourself, you're awake, altho you may not think so when you read this: A man came into the office of Eygabroad & Fisher, realtors, to rent a house. Given the price, he stated hesitatingly: "I have four children. They're noisy but not destructive. Would there be any objection to them?" "So you have four children, have you?" interjected Mr. Eygabroad. "In that case the rent will be lower. I always prefer to rent to a family with children at a lower rental. Men with children aren't so crabbed to do business with." "Twenty years make a lot of difference," says E. Jones, market gardener of 124 No. Los Angeles-st, who held a reunion Sunday at Pomona with a brother and sister he had not seen for 20 years since leaving the old home in Illinois. The brother, E. Gomer Jones, is a retired furniture dealer of Lawton, Okla., and the sister, Mrs. R. D. Jones—she married a Jones—resides at Hollywood. They had a very enjoyable time but could not help noticeing the changes in each other made in two decades. "Twenty years is a long time." ANAHEIM New City Park Declared Best Place for Reception in Orange-co. The matter of a public reception for President Harding and party when they come to Orange-co in August on their return from Alaska will be discussed at the monthly meeting of the Associated C. of C. tonight at Yorba Linda, it was announced today by Manager E. A. Beard of the Pac. Tel. & Tel. Co. who addressed an invitation to the chief executive on behalf of the local Rotary club recently. A committee of C. of C. secretaries are already considering the matter and may report this evening. The question of location for the meeting which would attract thousands is expected to be a sticker. Beard believes Anaheim the logical place, as the athletic field of the new city park where the orange show was held would be the largest centrally located place available in the county. "It would be a mighty fine way to dedicate the new city park," says Beard. "Anaheim is centrally located in Orange-co and would be the most convenient place to hold such a large gathering." ANOTHER VIOLENT ERUPTION OF ETNA (By International News Service) LONDON, June 27—A violent new eruption broke out this morning on the south side of Mount Etna's main crater, threatening the observatory on that side of the volcano, according to a Central News dispatch from Rome this afternoon. Fears were felt in Rome that the observatory would be overwhelmed, the dispatch added. Professor Carrara reported that the flood of molten lava was advancing down the south slope of the mountain at the rate of one kilometer (six-tenths of a mile) hourly. UPROAR IN COMMONS OVER HEALTH POLICY (By International News Service) LONDON, June 27—Uproar broke out in the House of Commons this afternoon when Laborite members attacked the government's public health policy as "murderous."

YOUNGSTERS are demonstrating the need of a wading pool and plunge by making the most of the lily ponds at the city park. They splash and play for hours. It might not be a bad idea if the authorities were a little slow in setting out the water plants so the children could continue to use these pools until the regular plunge and wading pool are completed. ANAHEIMERS disobey the Go-Stop signals at Center and Los Angeles-sts. far oftener than drivers passing through the city, according to police officers. Signs the size of a barn door were suggested, but as the Town Wit might say, nobody's passing thru a barn door. The signs are getting results, but folks apparently have to be educated. DEPUTY County Clerk, Earl R. Abbey, has several favorites which he gets off when young couples are on the scene for marriage licenses. "How many?" he asks of the inquiring pair. And when they are leaving he remarks: "Come again." The divorce records show that some of them do come back—a case of marry in haste and repent at leisure. BILL SCHUREMAN is still wondering why he was fined by President Tom McPadden at a Rotary meeting for threats to a woman. The threats were said to have been made at the recent game between the Rotary and Business Women's baseball teams, when Bill shouted, "Hit 'er man, hit 'er" THE THERMOMETER Minimum, 47½ at 5 a.m. Maximum, 87 at 3 p.m. UPROAR IN COMMONS OVER HEALTH POLICY (By International News Service) LONDON June 27—Uproar broke out in the House of Commons this afternoon when Laborite members attacked the government's public health policy as "murderous."

Carruthers. Extradition proceedings also are pending against Bennett to return him to De Kalb county, Georgia, where he is said to be wanted on another charge. Bennett now is in Tamps. FATE OF “BATTLE OF THE CENTURY” UP TO KERNS GREAT FALLS, Mont, June 27.—The fate of the Dempsey-Gibbons battle lies in the hands of Jack Kearns. And Kearns is in the mood to act as executioner. Unless Kearns relents—unless the manager of the world's champion is willing to send his man into conflict with Tom Gibbons for a gross number of $210,000, then it is a 50 to 1 shot that the fight must be called off. For it seems almost humanly impossible for the promoters to sell enough tickets between now and July 2 to raise nearly $200,000 in cash which will be needed by that date. The situation is desperate. If the fight was a certainty, then the public might step in and buy tickets to the tune of $200,000 by that date, but affairs are so badly messed that ticket sales almost have ceased. No one wants to invest $50 in a flight ticket and not merely be deprived of seeing the fight, but run the risk of total loss of the $50. Between now and Monday the promoters must raise: $50,000 to be returned to those who loaned the sum to make up the second payment for Dempsey's end. $50,000—perhaps a few thousand more—to pay the arena costs. $25,000 for incidental expenses. $100,000 for Dempsey's third payment. Toward this sum the promoters have perhaps $25,000. If they could borrow the $100,000 for Kearns they could go thru with the fight, because then, with the fair assured, ticket sales would take care of loan repayment, arena build- SAILOR DROWNS OFF HUNTINGTON BEACH Washed from the deck of the American Beauty, San Pedro seining power boat, when the craft foundered in rough water off Huntington Beach, the ship's cook, a Slav, was reported drowned today by a member of the crew who swam ashore for help. The power boat, valued at $20,000, was said to be leaking on its side too far off shore for small boats to give assistance. (By International News Service) LOS ANGELES, July 27—Tossed ashore near Huntington Beach, by surf into which she ran during the night, the seining vessel American Beauty of San Pedro is reported today lodged high on the sands. A rescue party from the local harbor was dispatched to save the vessel. SHOOTS MAN WITH EX-WIFE FATALLY (WIEL GOME) Expect 2000 Visiting Lodgemen When Moose Break Ground for Temple The local Moose Lodge is planning for a big two-day celebration late in August, when they will bring to Anaheim two notables, members of the Moose lodge, Governor Richardson and Secretary of Labor James J. Davis, also director general of the national organization of Moose. The occasion will be either breaking ground or laying the corner stone of the fine contemplated Moose temple, which will likely have a location on N. Los Angeles-st. A feature of the celebration will be conferring the Mooseheart Legion trotle, or second degree, upon a class of candidates numbering hundreds. Fully 2000 visitors are expected. From a membership of 84 a little more than two months ago, to a roster of more than 300 is the remarkable record of the growth of the local order. Fifteen more were made members last night at the regular meeting, including the Messrs. A. G. Tuma, D. D. Clemmer, F. Geweleck, W. D. Livingston, M. Lichtenstein, L. L. Whalen, M. Beebe, H. C. Giss, J. Newman, H. McCrea, F. Raber, O. Klinger, A. Wilmsen, O. Dwy and A. Scutt. After the initiation a smoker was enjoyed, with Joe Seigel as the donor of the smoking and the chewings, and he generously offered to replace any broken windows if any of the boys preferred kicking them out to smoking cigarettes or cigars, or chewing gum or tobacco, which was only a demonstration of the liberality of a Moose. EVANGELIST HURT IN MOTOR CRASH Charles Howe, evangelist singer now appearing at the Christian Alliance services on Pomona-ave., Fullerton, narrowly escaped serious injury late yesterday when his car collided with a car driven by Joe Lorentz of Orange about a mile west of Brea. Howe was thrown to the ground and badly bruised. Lorentz, who was on his way to San Francisco to get married was not injured at all. The Howe car was damaged to the extent of $250 or $300, it is said. An accident also was reported this morning from Malden and West Commonwealth-aves., in which D. W. Patron of Anaheim tried to avoid striking a truck and ran into a tree, badly damaging it. Other accidents included a collision between the cars of J. E. Donnell and L. W. Smith, both of Fullerton, near Santa Fe Springs. No one was reported seriously injured. motors must raise: $50,000 to be returned to those who loaned the sum to make up the second payment for Dempsey's end. $50,000—perhaps a few thousand more—to pay the arena costs. $25,000 for incidental expenses. $100,000 for Dempsey's third payment. Toward this sum the promoters have perhaps $25,000. If they could borrow the $100,000 for Kearns they could go thru with the fight, because then, with the affair assured, ticket sales would take care of loan repayment, arena building costs and outside expenses. But there's no one who is willing to make the loan. And that is because the men behind them seem to have "hocked" everything they can "hoek"—and $100,000 loans are not made thru kindness in these days. Or, if Kearns should change his mind about the other $100,000 then again the fight might be saved. All of Montana which is interested in the affair, has come to conclude that in Kearns lies the only hope and that grows more barren as tempus fugis for Kearns shows no sign of weakening on his ultimatum. $100,000 on the second day of July—or no fight." OFFICER IMPROVES (By International News Service) LOS ANGELES, June 27—While police continued search today for a woman and two men believed members of a local bandit ring, the condition of Police Sergeant Arthur Bethel, shot and seriously wounded in a gun fight with two men he killed, showed improvement as the result of a blood transfusion.

Thomas, 28, a vocational training student, shot and probably fatally wounded R. S. Taylor, 37, on crowded Main-st. at noon as Taylor and a divirged wife of Thomas were stepping into an auto.

Thomas ran into alley, reloaded his gun and walked to the city hall where he announced his act to the police. Taylor was still conscious at the hospital.

SEEK DISHWASHER FOR THEFT OF $47 Accused of stealing $47 from C. C. Smith, Mark Janway of Fullerton is wanted by the police there, according to a report to Sheriff Sam Jernigan today. Janway was a dishwasher at Carl and Andy's Cafe and left his job about six o'clock last evening. Smith and Janway slept upstairs with only a curtain between them, says Smith in his report.

PARISO WILL HANG (By International News Service) SACRAMENTO, June 27—Despite appeals made in his behalf, Mauro Pariso, sentenced to die on the gallows at San Quentin Friday for the murder of Felix Paladino, Fresno workman, will probably secure no commutation.

PRISONERS RIOT LOS ANGELES, June 27—Led by a powerful negress, a score of women prisoners today attempted to discipline young Mrs. Bineham, held in the city jail for investigation into an alleged bandit gang, two members of which were killed by Police Sergeant Arthur W. Bethel. Angered by objections which she had voiced to associating with them the prisoners were threatening Mrs. Bineham with their fists and culinary utensils when matrons extricated her.

A local minister and two other citizens are said to have taken the lead in appealing to the governor for protection. "Evidence seems to point to the fact that the sheriff's office in Okmulgee-co has been indifferent to the situation and no relief can be expected from that source," Aldrich Blake, the governor's secretary is quoted as having said to explain the declaration of martial law. National guard companies from Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Muskogee and Texwetuka, which are enforcing martial law, are commanded by Brigadier General Alva N. Niles.
