TOWN IN REVIEW BY OLD TIMER Every loyal Anaheim ought to take a trip back east every so often. It will make you a better booster. Like a revival meeting, it revives you. Preferably make it in the summertime. You probably still recall that it gets cold in winter back there, but somehow or other the fact that it ever got warm seems to have been erased from your memory. After patronizing home industry by purchasing your ticket at one of the three Anaheim depots—the more tickets sold here the better service we get—you say goodbye to the ocean breeze and climb into a Pullman. That is the last cool zephyr you will meet face to face until you return for the steel Pullmans soak up the heat in the daytime and hold it all night. It's hot and dusty and it's a long trip across the desert but finally the train stops "on the other side" at 8 p.m. and you get out to stretch your legs. It is much cooler until you glance at a thermometer which reads 111. You start sweating worse than ever. Like at night you crawl into your bed. Being naturally timid, you play sheet over yourself. Perhaps you doze off a couple of times but AGED MAN Threats Made SO. CAL.

It's hot and dusty and it's a long trip across the desert but finally the train stops "on the other side" at 8 p.m. and you get out to stretch your legs. It is much cooler until you glance at a thermometer which reads 111. You start sweating worse than ever. Time at night you crawl into your bed. Being naturally timid, you push a sheet over yourself. Perhaps you doze off a couple of times but you never stop sweating. Next morning it is a trifle cooler. But it warms up at dinner time and a woman faints in the dining car. After three days of agony you get back at the old home. It is much cooler there. At least, you can take a bath several times a day and sit out on the porch batting mosquitoes with a palm leaf fan the remainder of the time. The old neighbors drop in. Between gaps you are compelled to talk in response to queries about California, what it's like out there, is it really cool in summer, etc., ad infinitum. Finally the blessed day rolls around when you can start home. Pressing business compels you to leave on the first day you mentioned you would have to leave, despite urgent invitations to prolong your vacation." You count the hours it will take the fastest train to land you again in the sunny but cool southland. After ages you at last reach dear old Anaheim. Nothing ever felt better than the cool breeze that greets you in mid-afternoon. You look at metically at an Anaheimmer who remarks that it's been real warm today. "What does he know about hot weather." It occurs to you as amusing that we can grow palm leaf fans here but never use them—shipping them back east for corn growing weather. It's great to be home again. In the words of the poet, there's no place like helm—especially if it's Anaheim. Police Chief Bert Moody is always on the alert. The other day he got a tip that a still was in operation at 535 S. Los Angeles-st. Armed with a gun and pocket flask, Chief Moody rushed to the scene only to find that Felix Pries, one of Anaheim's most technically minded young men, had contrived a lubricating still with which he was making oil for his own use. Neighbors who had observed the operation of the worm had tipped the police. Quite a natural mistake. How about a little contest. Which block in town has the most kids? In proposing this, I think I've already got you all beat in my own block—Melrose-st., between Center-at and Broadway. We have between 19 and 20 youngsters under ten. It's hard to tell definitely. You know Kiwanis Speaker Proclaims Value of Modern Art to Whole World Predicting that California in a few years, will become the art center of the world, J. F. Kanst, for 23 years with the Kanst Art Gallery, now located at $26 S. Hill-st., Los Angeles, talked to the Kiwanis' club at lunch-eon today in the Elks club. He was introduced by C. of C. Secretary Malcom Fraser, and in the course of his lecture showed several paintings by Los Angeles, Laguna Beach and other prominent So. Cal artists. He gave the stories of the paintings with a short sketch of the artist's rise and ability. He predicted a brilliant future for several of them. In preface of sis talk Mr. Kanst said Modern Art is of value to the whole world, altho he knows it's value is not appreciated. In analyzing art, he said no business can be a success without art, in fact, it can hardly be started without art. Even the building which houses the business must be given to the artist in idea before it can be erected. Illustrations of the stock in store are the products of art. "There was no culture," said Mr. Kanst, "until the caverban began making pictures on the walls of his cave." Edison recognized the value of art and acknowledged that science inspires comparatively few, while art appeals to the spirit of everyone. In illustration of the increasing value of art, he mentioned the "Blue Boy" painting, which was sold by the artist, Gainsboro, for $250, upon its completion, and to Huntington for $700,000. Mr. Kanst gave another example of the rising values in the story of the purchase of a home in Los Angeles at $15,000, which sold recently for $35,000. In the home at the time of its purchase were paintings valued at $1500, which now are conservatively worth $40,000. The speaker holds a standing offer to pay ten times the original sale price of any picture from his studio sold ten years ago, and knows of one refusal of $8000 for a picture which sold in 1910 for $200. Among the artists whose paintings he carries are R. C. Coleman, of Laguna; Mrs. Kelly of Riverside; Maurie Braun, W. M. Post, Kirkpatrick, Los Angeles and others.

DEAR EAST PEACE WRITER OF LETTERS One Typewritten Epistle Demands the Arrest of Famous Actress OAKLAND, July 24—Operatives of a private detective agency and deputy sheriffs of Contra Costa-co.started a search today for the writer of two letters to the detective agency in which velled threats were made against Mabel Normand, moving picture actress and Mack Sennett, motion picture producer, in which the writer confessed he was the slayer of William Desmond Taylor, picture director. C. E. Hitchcock, head of the detective agency, said he received the first of the two letters two days ago but passed it up as the work of a crank. Late last night he received a second letter and decided to investigate. He telegraphed the Los Angeles police and secured the assistance of the Contra Costa authorities. Both letters were postmarked Bayonne, near here. The writer signed his name as "Edward Sans." It was recalled that following the death of Taylor in Los Angeles an extensive search was made for Edward Sands, his former secretary. Hitchcock said one of the letters contained a demand that Mabel Normand be located and arrested. The letters were typewritten, he said, and while they gave some evidence of the writer having been well educated, they were so rambling as to make it hard to determine just what was meant. LOS ANGELES, July 24—Aroused by "death threats" made to an Oakland private detective agency, Mabel Normand, film actress, and Mack Sennett, picture producer, joined local police today in co-operating with the northern police in resuming the investigation of the murder over a year ago of William Desmond Taylor, film director, altho they frankly doubted the authenticity of the "confession" sent the Oakland officers over the signature of Albert Sands. A request for copies of the letters were sent to the Oakland officers, as it is believed here the writer may be trying to pass as Edward Sands, former valet for Taylor. "One of the letters is reported to have read: "I killed William Desmond Taylor and am going to kill Mabel Normand and Mack Sennett." Both Miss Normand and Sennett declared this afternoon they had re- DIDN'T KNOW THEY HAD LIQUOR, CLAIM A. Hernandez, J. Sandavol and N.

Luke, both of Wisconsin, were sentenced to 30 days each in the county jail on the charge of riding a train without having paid their fare. The jail sentence was suspended.

Last night the family, consisting of father, mother, two daughters and a son, gathered at the son’s home for a birthday celebration. They returned home at midnight. The daughters, in a locked off room, had fallen asleep when they heard shots. They tried to enter the part of the house where their parents were sleeping, but were unable to do so.
