HUNTINGTON BEACH HOLDING ITS OWN Huntington Beach production held its own last week, the big well of the Amalgamated Oil Co. giving the field 2100 barrels of new production. The Amalgamated's Reservoir No. 3 proved a real surprise. Completed at 4347, a 2100-barrel well was brought in producing 26 gravity clean oil. The well was formerly a 100-barrel producer at a depth of 2719 feet. Sixteen hundred feet of hole increased the production 21 times. The Amalgamated surprise is the biggest well in the field now by 400 barrels. E. J. Miley will continue to draw revenue from the old Huntinion Beach field. The Pacific Petroleum Corp., of which E. J. is president and general manager, completed and brought in a 1000-barrel well at location No. 9. This big well was drilled to 2555 and is considered a marvel for both its depth and location in the field. It was not thought that anything over a few hundred barrels was possible in the southeast section of the field at a depth under 3600 feet. Miley must know how to get big ones wherever he goes. The feature of the Torrance field this past week was the work of the Federal Drilling Co. on the Gerner property. The Gerner lease is located on the southwest section of the field and can be considered wildcat territory. At 3640 feet the Federal found sufficient indications of off to warrant the setting of a string of 8-1-4 casing. The outlook looked so good that the Federal Drilling Co. stopped across the road and leased 21-2 acres more property and paid a nice bonus for the holding. The Federal Drilling Co. is fast becoming a producer of petroleum, and before the year is over, will have developed for itself a nice production in the new Torrance field. C. C. Julian is making things fly at Torrance. His leases now dot the entire field, and this past week "Man of Defiance" ran up four new rigs and spudded in on two new wells. The drilling program of the Julian Petroleum Corp. now includes the second heaviest in the field, and it is understood that in a short time Julian will have 15 strings of tools running. In spite of the knockers, C. ZANGWILL COMES TO TALK BEFORE JEWISH CONGRESS Israel Zangwill. Israel Zangwill, celebrated novelist and playwright and ranked as one of the twelve greatest Jews in the world, is making his first trip to the United States in fifteen years to address the American Jewish congress in New York.

INFLATED MONEY AND WHITE LIES BERLIN, Oct. 26—"White lies" and purple fraud are as common under the extenuating circumstances of economic abnormality in Europe as under prohibition in America.

What has the St. Heum Co. got at Puente's question that the oil manern California are ask answer will not be for some little time. It is that this wildcat well with 5050 feet, and at time been some very favorableings.

In spite of the knockers, C. C. Julian is going right ahead; he is building up a powerful and efficient organization, and the coming year will see an oil company that will command the respect and confidence of petroleum industry of California. The Torrance field now boasts of a daily production of 14,000 barrels, the wells running from 100 barrels up to 1500 barrels. The new wells are coming in with a gravity ranging from 26 to 28. The average depth of the Torrance wells is 3600 feet. ASSUMES COMMAND YUMA, Ariz., Oct. 26—(INS)—General Avalardo Rodriguez and his full military staff passed thru Yuma today bound for Mexicali, Lower Calif., where he will immediately assume military command of that district succeeding Governor Innocent Lugo, who will be transferred to a cabinet position in the City of Mexico. AT HOTEL PLEASANT E. A. Lyons, Alma Adams, and F. S. Steed, Los Angeles; A. P. Robinson, Fullerton; H. Greenstein, Pasadena, and E. J. Letrich, San Bernardino. “There is more truth than poetry” in about everything, more’s the pity. INFLATED MONEY AND WHITE LIES BERLIN, Oct. 26—“White lies” and purple fraud are as common under the extinguishing circumstances of economic abnormality in Europe as under prohibition in America. Men and women who, in character and practice, have held themselves above deception of any description, now scorn the letter of the law and wink at the truth. Critics of prohibition who declare it encourages falsehood and illegal practices, can learn in Europe today that human nature is about the same the world over. It is practically impossible to travel in central and eastern Europe without telling lies. Here is where foreigners are forced to stoop to conduct that is offensive to them, but their only alternative is to quit traveling. In countries where the currency is infilated there is a law stipulating the maximum amount of money that may be taken out of the country. This amount is always so ridiculously low that it leaves a traveler penniless at his destination. You are not allowed to take more than $4 or $5 out of Germany. If you abide by the law in crossing the Austrian frontier and have dinner on the train you will scarcely have enough money to pay for a taxi to your hotel in Vienna. If you travel from Vienna to Budapest via Czecho-Slovakia you will arrive broke. You are not allowed to take from Hungary anywhere near as much money as your ticket costs you, no matter if you are only going to the nearest big city beyond the border. PEACH PUDDING PARIS, Oct. 26—The French house wife makes a peach pudding to replace our own peach roly-poly. Choose ripe but firm fruit. Plunge into boiling water for a few minutes and then peel. Separate into halves and cut slices of bread the same size as the fruit. Place the half of the peach on each slice of bread. Sprinkle plentifully with sugar and dot with large lumps of butter.

DEVELOPMENTS ARE QUIET AT COMPTON With the exception of the leasing of the big Francis ranch by the Union and Shell Co. of California, developments were quiet at Compton this past week. The Francis ranch included 672 acres of very good-looking oil land, and the two big operators have each taken a half of the holding. It is understood that the consideration was approximately $1,000,000. The L. R. Chase Oil Co. will drill at Compton. The Chase interests have an excellent ten-acre property near the Union Callender well, and the Stan-Ro Drilling Co. has contracted to do the drilling. C. C. Julian is making progress on the Pico well, and if as much as accomplished this next week as was last, C. C. will be out of trouble, and the Murphy will be making new hole. The collapsing of a string of 10-inch casing 400 feet from top made a hard proposition to take care of. Barring the unforeseen, ten days should tell the oil fraternity something about Bellflower. Approximately 4425 feet of hole has been drilled. A three-inch liner is to be put in, cemented through perforations, and a production test made. The best inside information available on the well has it that a small produced will be brought in. However, most of the oil exports and geologists whose opinions are worth anything, do not believe Bellflower will materialize as an oil field. What has the St. Helen's Petroleum Co. got at Puente? This is the question that the oil of Southern California are asking, and the answer will not be forthcoming for some little time. It is understood that this wildest well was drilled to 5050 feet, and at times there have been some very favorable oil showings. Oil men who know say that if all the showings had been in one place, the well would have a chance of making a commercial producer. The cement has been drilled out and the well will stand for several days before a production test is made. On the outcome of this well much development will hinge in the Puente field. At Fullerton the Dolke-Thomas Oil Syndicate's test well began look- SOUTHWEST FACES A RAIL FIGHT KANSAS CITY, Oct. 26—Kansas City and the Southwest will not lose their direct rail connection with the Pacific coast if the Missouri Pacific line proceeds with its present plan to purchase half the stock of the Denver and Rio Grande trunk to the coast. The Denver and Rio Grande system is an important key in the great transcontinental railway system privating at Kansas City. Hence the city is eager that the Denver and Rio Grande stock become the property of its own Missouri Pacific, giving it another direct transcontinental route. Way was cleared for the purchase when the Colorado state commission told the interstate commerce commission sitting in Denver all objections to the proposed transaction were withdrawn. Denver had sought to obtain the Denver and Rio Grande for the Burlington road for the same reason Kansas City wanted it for the Iron Mountain line. If the disputed-line had gone to the Colorado metropolis Denver would have been on the main line of another transcontinental road. Missouri and Kansas had feared the Santa Fe would obtain control of the Colorado line and transfer the through-Pacific connections of St. Louis, Kansas City and Southwest to Chicago. CRICKETS INVADE KENTUCKY VILLAGE DAYTON, Ky., Oct. 26—The cricket on the hearth, ever since the time he was so ably press-agented by Charles Dickens, has been considered a sign of good luck for any family fireside which he might honor with his presence. Not so, however, do the housewives of this Cincinnati suburb regard him. They assert with vehemence that he is distinctly bad luck. The reason? Thousands and tens of thousands, coming apparently from the city "dump," have invaded the homes of residents and driven them frantic with their chirping and crawling. These particular crickets, gray in color and unusually large, are said RAILWAYS FIGHT GIRL'S STAGE LINE DES MOINES, Oct. 26—A 24-year old girl, who three years ago was working in a Mason City railroad office, today is prepared to fight the most powerful railroad interests in the state to protect the fortune she has gained in two years by showing Iowa and Minnesotan some new ideas in transportation. The young business woman, Miss Helen Schultz, formerly of Minneapolis, was to go before the state railroad commission late today to show why the protests of six railroads against her Des Moines-to-Minneapolis bus lines are based upon selfish motives. "I have the backing of every community along my Des Moines-to-Minneapolis route," the pretty transportation expert declared upon her arrival here today. She rode here from Mason City in one of the big buses of her own line. The railroads protesting against continuance of the bus lines are the Chicago and Great Western, Rock Island, Chicago and Northwestern, Minneapolis and St. Louis lines, and the Fort Dodge, Des Moines and Southern and other electric lines. Railroad men here opposing Miss Schultz are just as confident as she that the railroad commission will bid her to continue operation of the burea. They maintain that they have forced them to discontinue many passenger trains and that the communities affected will forego the bus service rather than have their freight service curtailed. TO REGULATE FUEL An air cushion that has been invented to replace the accelerator pedal on an automobile is intended to regulate the supply of fuel more evenly and eliminate jolting. Macaroni At It's Best At Fullerton the Dolke-Thomas Oil Syndicate test well began looking good at 3700 feet, the showings at 3800 feet continued and the outlook is now quite encouraging. The Amazon Drilling Co. has its Inglewood well on the Baldwin down close to 6000 feet, and as yet has found nothing that looks like oil. The Murrietta Valley Oil Co. has resumed operations and is drilling the cement out with cable tools. Some 1100 feet of hole was drilled and a string of 15 1-2 set at 987 feet. The well already claims some showings of oil and gas. The Seal Beach Oil Co. has been successful in securing a permit to re-capitalize, re-arrange its financial affairs, and resume operations at 5..100 feet. An exhaustive test will be made before any abandonment move will be given any consideration. WEAK KNEED JURY DRAWS JUDGE'S IRE CLEVELAND, Oct. 26—The jury system—catalogized by barristers as the "brightest star in the firmament of justice"—sometimes skids in its orbit or hits a meteor and puts the whole legal universe off schedule. Take, for instance, the jury in the recent Whitfield murder case here, denounced by Prosecutor E. C. Stanton and Trial Judge Frank Phillips for returning "the most weak-kneed verdict in the history of Cuyahoga-co courts." The jury, composed of nine men and three women, after listening to testimony and arguments of counsel for nearly three weeks, deliberated for eight hours and then rot in a verdict of "guilty of murder in the first-degree as charged in the indictment"—but the verdict was tempered with a recommendation for mercy. And therein lies the weak-need part. “This verdict,” said Judge Phillips as he pronounced sentence, “leads me to believe that no jury will bring in a death verdict in the face of any conceivable set of circumstances. It is most discouraging to officials of the law. It emboldens criminals,” the judge added, declaring that he “would have felt a degree of satisfaction” in pronouncing the death sentence upon Whitfield whom he termed a “bold and heartless murder.” BY CHARLES DICKENS, has been considered a sign of good luck for any family fireside which he might honor or with his presence. Not so, however, do the housewives of this Cincinnati suburb regard him. They assert with vehement that he is distinctly bad luck. The reason? Thousands and tens of thousands, coming apparently from the city “dump,” have invaded the homes of residents and driven them frantic with their chirping and crawling. These particular crickets, gray in color and unusually large, are said to have chewed up much wearing apparel and many rugs. They are said to display an especial fondness for costly oriental rugs, although they themselves are distinctly American in origin. Various polo shirts have been scattered about for their consumption, but they refuse the death dose and eat other things. City authorities have promised to take steps to eliminate them at their source “before election.” STEEPLE REPAIR CONTRACT TO WOMAN MARYSVILE, Oct. 26—Demonstrating their faith in the ability of women to compete with men in evea the most hazardous trades, the members of the First Presbyterian church here have awarded the contract for repairing and painting the steeple of their house of worship to Mrs. J. O. Faust, woman steeplejack of Laramie, Wyo. When we see a senators name attached to a patent medicine testimonial we are no longer in doubt about the stuff from which some senators are made.

AGENT WILL TAKE STORY TO CONGRESS NEW YORK, Oct. 26—Charging two government officials in Washington with being the "brains of a national bootleg ring." Gaston B. Means, formerly a department of justice agent; now under federal indictment only liquor charges, this afternoon announced he would lay his entire story before the next congress. Means, who with Elmer W. Jarncke, a former egg dealer of Chicago, is charged with swindling the government out of more than $2,000,000 worth of liquor withdrawals permits, with a profit of $100,000 to themselves, said: "I am the victim of the greatest frame-up ever attempted in this country." With a number of representatives, I will lay my entire story, with my proof, being the American people." Means, who first came into public attention when he was acquitted of the murder of Mrs. Maud A. Robinson King of Concord, N. C., who he claimed, had left him a fortune of $100,000 served on the department of justice liquor staff between November, 1521 and September 15, 1922. Means said the two government officials involved learned of his discovery. They arranged his discharge, he said.

The new work is in two distinct parts. The first is an historic evocation of California and a description of its present condition. The second concerns the adventures of a young California girl, the widow of an American senator, whom she married at a very early age and who left her an immense fortune. The girl, who is of Spanish descent, is guided solely by her caprices, which her wealth enables her to gratify. London's annual dish of meat is about 400,000 tons.
