The week's total is 114 cars, including today's compared with 106 last week. Ritchie said he was sick of showing a "red ink" record—that is, a deficit—on fruit shipped.

Schiller, teach er of Spa Anaheim Union High School and Ray Elliott were ostensibly dropped from the faculty at th year, still are legally members.

R. P. Mitchell, county superintendent of schools who was present and whose opinion was asked, told the board so. The question of the competency of neither man was gone into borough. Much of the difficulties on the other side in Prof. Schiller's case appeared to be due to the informal building as a result of excavating being done next door. ing next door to the home they occupied collapsed. Nine children in the families escaped without a scratch. The home was a hotel wreck, as the photo shows. Auto Truck Service From Port to Or. Co.

RENNER TELLS OF The question of the competency of neither man was gone into thoroughly. Much of the difficulties on the other side in Prof. Schiller's case appeared to be due to the informality with which the high school board and Principal J. A. Clayes proceeded. President Henry E. Carner of the board declared that Prof. Schiller had been "crucified" by him and his associates, although an injunction had not been intended. Threatening suit in court, Prof. Schiller told his version of his dismissal. On May 10 last, he said, he received notice by letter from Principal Clayes of a cut in salary of $550 for the year 1923-24. On May 11 he went to Clayes and asked him regarding the charges. It appeared from what Clayes told him, he said, that he had offended certain members of the board. Then he saw each member of the board and suggested a special hearing. At this meeting it was voted to re-adjust his case, raise his salary and make everything all right. He asked Clayes for a new contract, but Clayes appeared to be very unfriendly. On Monday, June 11. Clayes told him, he said, to see him on the following Wednesday, Clayes then showed him the school law, which specified that his contract must be signed within 26 days. But seeking the advice of educators in Los Angeles, including Mark Keppel, superintendent of schools of Los Angeles County, he was advised he said, to fight his dismissal in court. At the same time, he declared, he bore no ill will against anybody. From what he had gathered, he said, he met trouble with the board because as he was told, he was "Efker's right hand man" in connection with the school election. In this connection President Carner of the board questioned him—asked him if, as a free citizen, he couldn't vote as he saw fit. Director C. G. Sparks asked Schiller what he thought he was worth to the school. Schiller replied "About $350 per month." The professor declared he could teach Latin, Greek, German, French and Spanish—"without being bombastic." Sparks told him that his Spanish had been "Mexican Spanish," which was not the sort that the board wanted. Schiller replied that Mexican Spanish was the sort taught in the majority of high schools at present. Sparks declared further that his method of teaching was a reading method, in which the students did not learn the grammar. Schiller replied that every teacher had his own WASHINGTON absence of the Canal landslide officials of doubtful fiefs at the corner of Citron and La Palma streets which began operations this week means to Anaheim. The new plant is under the direct charge of E. G. Bower, Supt., and W. J. Carrichael of Fullerton, secretary and general manager. Officials of the company include: F. C. Krause, president; L. D. Pike, vice-president; and Mr. Carmichael. The day shift began operations this week, and the night shift starts operations Monday, from which time the plant will run night and day. Mr. Carmichael said. The plant, which cost $50,000 is located not far from the old bed of the Santa Ana river, owning 11 acres of sand. The plant is operated by electricity with the exception of the hardening cylinders where gas is used for fuel. The brick are regular sand brick, light gray in color, and sell for the same price as the regular clay brick. Orders have already been received in Orange county for one million brick, he said. The capacity of the plant is 40,000 brick a day, and the travel roads leading to the plant make it easy of access to trucks. Sand is also furnished, large orders already being filled for the Union Oil Storage tanks at Brea and Santa Fe Springs. An up-to-date system brings the sand to the plant, where it is automatically dumped, carried by the elevators, to a large revolving screen where it is graded and carried to the mins. The bricks are made of the following materials: 10 per cent high grade lime; 3 per cent cement; and the remainder sand. There are wet grinding mills weighing 37,500 lbs. One-half of the material is ground five minutes then elevated about 30 feet in the air, and then delivered to the hoppers above the brick presses. There are two presses, and two hardening cylinders. In the hardening cylinders the steam pressure on the brick is 120 pounds, which is held for 60 hours. Mr. Carmichael says that they have been operating four days, and all tests have been satisfactory. The sand brick is not a new thing but has been in use in the U.S. for 20 years, some of the finest buildings in the country being built of them, he said. He says he stand fire remarkably well. He says he appreciates the co-operation given the new industry by the city of Anaheim. Visitors are invited to inspect the plant. **RENNER TELLS OF VACATION OUTING** San Diego is making a strong effort to develop its back country and bring into the city people from Calexico, El Centro, etc., says O.

Janeway had come under the influence of so-called "miracle healing" the father declared. He had been finally confined to the state hospital at Norwalk, from which he was released. **ROTARIAN REALTOR GIVES IMPRESSIONS** That the question is not how to bring people to California, but how to take care of them after their arrival, or rather, how to keep them from coming too fast, is the opinion of William N. Irwin, Fullerton realtor, who has just returned from a five weeks trip thru the central, middle west, and Rocky Mountain states. Mr. Irwin was a Rotary delegate from Fullerton to the Rotary convention held in St. Louis, and while there gave up his room on the 14th floor of the Hotel Strattler for two nights to President Harding during his stay in the city. From St. Louis he went to Indianaapolis, where his brother and his wife took their machine, and drove Mr. and Mrs. Irwin thru Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky and Jackson-co., Missouri. The latter spent July 4 near Mr. Irwin's boyhood home in Henry co., where he distributed a large quantity of California literature, which the people eagerly received. People from all parts of the country are heading towards Pacific coast usually making Los Angeles their objective. Mr. and Mrs. Irwin spent two days in the old mining district of Cripple Creek, Colorado, where they formerly resided for 15 years. The place has dwindled there until there are only two or three good producers left, Mr. Irwin says. They went thru some extremely hot weather, but both kept well throuthe journey. **REPORT** WASHINGTON absence of the Canal ed landslide officials of doubtful nature They expire were occur slide which ping would to Washington LOS ANGE ship owner endeavored from master huge landa Panama between thie seaboard port No official portedslide thus far. **TELL IS I BY (L.N.PARIS,Bob guesses told me correspondde boat t New York.Fayette The dan her niece All included compi What al respondent It looks doesn't it!** DAUGHT COLUMNA was seen Harry M.
