I am very fond of a boy in one of my classes. He always speaks to me and has asked me to go out with him twice. I like him very much and although my parents objected, I have gone with him without their consent. Do you think that I am in the wrong? He goes with no other girl, which leads me to think he cares a great deal for me. TEDDY PETE. You were most decidedly in the wrong to go out with the boy secretly when you knew your parents would object. Since you are a junior in high school, it seems to me you ought to be allowed to attend school parties, but of course that is a matter for your parents to decide, and if they consider you too young and do not approve of the boy who invites you, the only thing to do is to believe in their judgment. GETTING ACQUAINTED Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a fellow of twenty-four, of a sincere quiet nature, and so I have made few friends amidst the fairer sex. I do not care for so-called wild parties, although I am no log and love enjoyment of life as the rest of the world. I live as I see right and I am not a crank. When something turns up of which I do not approve I just excuse myself. I have noticed a young lady for some time who looks like a girl of quiet nature. We have passed each other for several weeks and yet we look directly at each other as if both of us would like to say something, but we remain silent. I am almost sure she would like to speak, and I know I would, but I always wonder if I would get an answer. Is is proper for her to speak first, or should I break the silence? Just how would be best to become acquainted? I am sure we could be real pals in friendship, if I can master this silent passing. Get us acquainted please. I am sure you can through your blind advice. “PEG O’ MY HEART” IS ROYAL CO’S OFFERI Charles.E.Royal. The Royal Stock Co., which ran such a decided hit last week at the United Theatre with the artistic production of “Smilie Thru,” will return Sunday Night with that perennial comedy of youth, “Peg O’ My Heart.” Edythe Elliott, the charming leading lady, will play “Peg.” And as last week, the company will be here for the three nights, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.

We are very good friends and I have been to his house several times with my folks. I would like to know if it would be right for me to ask him to come some night for supper or some Sunday afternoon? Would it be proper for us to go to the Young People's society of our church together? I have some friends from out of town, some boys and some girls, who are going to visit in town in about four weeks. I would like to entertain them. They are a little older than I am. There is another boy in school who knows them. I have not known him very long. Would it be correct to ask him to come and bring his girl whom I have never met, as there will not be enough girls to go around. PEGGY. Invite the boy to come to see you; do not set the time or make it a summer invitation unless his parents are included. If he shows enough interest to call, it will be all right to ask him to come to supper, or for Sunday afternoon and Young People's meeting. Do not be too urgent to have him go to church, however. After he has come to see you, it would not be polite to rush him off somewhere else. Yes, it will be all right to invite the boy at school to your party and to tell him to bring a girl.

WALSH PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 5, — Threatened with disqualification by the U. S. Lawn Tennis Assn., unices he, among others, abandons the business of writing tennis articles, "for pecuniary gain," William T. Tilden, II, national champion, today declared that he was a newspaperman first, and a tennis player afterward and defied the U. S. L. T. A. to prove him otherwise. He further suggested that the name, appearing over his article, was given to him by his father and not by the tennis association. He seemed to have the impression that that name was his to use as he saw fit. Tilden was just a bit gustere when first approached on the matter of the executive committee's latest interpretation of the amateur rule. He was imparting the niceties of the drama to the adolescent mind at Germantown Academy at the moment and merely murmured, "Very interesting," when shown the committee's report. Later he thawed perceptibly. "Writing is my chosen career," he said. "The committee may not know that I began working for newspapers while in my junior year at college and have been identified with the writing game since then. I hadn't even won a state title during my early years in the newspaper game, so that my work was not dependent upon my ability as a tennis player. Neither was the fact that I have done dramatic and music reviews for metropolitan papers nor that I have had eight fiction stories accepted by magazines in the last 18 months." "You can't sell fiction with a tennis racket, nor can you sit in at a city desk as I have done, unless you are a practical news-paperman of real experience and initiative. A. A. U. ALSO HET UP OVER WRITERS By DAVIS J. WALSH (I. N. S. Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Jan. 5 — Following in the almost immediate footsteps of the U. S. Lawn Tennis Association's executive committee, it is said that the Amateur Athletic Union plans to declare a moratorium on the literary efforts of all members of the American Olympic team during the Olympic games at Paris and for a month or so thereafter. There will be no runners, swimmers, jumpers, discers and what not, competing in the Olympic games with a pencil in one hand and a folding typewriter in the other, it is promised. The tennis association executive committee has directed its campaign against the player-writer Win Tilden II, singles champion and one of the leading contenders. The A. A. U. is likewise said to be after the big fish. Its objectives are alleged to be Charley Paddock and Loren Murchison, who rank among the world's greatest sprinters. It is reported that Murchison already has a pencil in mid-air to chronicle the Olympic activities for a newspaper syndicate. Paddock must first make peace with the A. A. U. before becoming a member of the team. There isn't the slightest doubt that Paddock will go to the post at Paris. He is another athletic Boswell-in-prospect. Unlike the tennis association, the A. A. U. is not disposed to rule its athletes right off the typewriter keys altogether. It merely wishes to obviate all suggestion of commercialism in connection with the American Olympic team. If Paddock happened to break a world's record or win both spring races at Paris, he would reap a golden harvest in newspaper writing, it is claimed. The same thing holds good for Murchison or any member of the SARGUM SPROUTY By Sargum Spool The East vs. West classic proved to be bad. They say the West was gaining a tie.

ANNA HILBERS DIES IN NEBRASKA Mrs. Anna Hilbers, 71, died on New Year's day at the home of her son, George H. Hilbers, in Hooper, Neb., where she went last May on a visit. The body is en route to Anaheim over the Union Pacific, due to arrive Monday morning. Services will likely be held Monday at 2:30 p.m. in the Backs, Terry & Campbell enamel, with Rev. H. G. Schmelzer in charge. Interment will be in Anaheim cemetery in the family lot. Mrs. Hilbers is survived by two sons and two daughters. Mrs. Mary Meyer, Mrs. Helen Liston and George H.

RICHFIELD SOUTHERN PAYS Monthly Dividend The Richfield Southern Oil Co., a local concern is now extensive natural gasoline. With the plan of paying their stockholders monthly dividends the company is announcing a one per cent dividend for December, having paid a one per cent dividend for over-earn, taking in consideration that the price of gasoline is any time since 1913, it is considered wonderful results from the first two months of operation. So far reaching has the use of natural gasoline become that it is doubtful if there is a single refiner in the United States who does not use some natural gasoline in his straight run at the present time. As the larger companies draw on their oil now in storage the demand for natural gasoline will increase many times, therefore a sharp advance in price is assured. The company is at present erecting a plant on the Bell Lease of the Union Oil Co., the discovery property of Santa Fe Springs, and plans are now being drawn for a plant to be erected at Torrance. One big feature about this Company is that they have no large overhead expense; as no officer or director receives any salary whatsoever being paid only dividends on their investment like any other stockholder. With such men as J. S. Ward, Ben Yorba, Dr. H. A. Johnston, T. Ingram, O. W. Clark and but the brain was slow.

Ruins and wreckage were spread over the province of Di Desso, near Rome, when the River Tiber burst from its banks and inundated the country. Thousands were forced to flee and millions of dollars worth of damage caused. Relief agencies were prompt in sending succor, and prominent Italians came from all over the country to lend their aid. Among these was Gabriel D'Annunzio, poet-hero. Communications were made difficult for some time owing to the destruction of a number of bridges by the rushing wreckage. Some of the bridges were historical. SARGUM SPROUTINGS By Sargum Sprout The East vs. West football classic proved to be a thriller. They say the West was lucky in gaining a tie. Maybe so, but it took that never-say-die spirit to get the smile of Lady Luck. Washington was always trying, if she did appear bewildered at times. It was this always fighting spirit that gave them the chance of converting a fumble into a touchdown for the tipping score. The Navy uncorked a brand of passing that has never been displayed on the coast before. This passing had the Washington boys going throughout the first half. It was a great game, but left the question of supremacy. West vs. East, more in doubt than ever. From accounts, Wilmington was not so rude and rough in their argument with the umpire in the Shell Oil game at Long Beach last Sunday as was San Pedro in the opening league game here, yet Wilmington is reported to be exiled from the Triple-A fold. The Triple-A management is beginning at a late date to discipline its teams. That first game when the San Pedro catcher struck the umpire, gave the game a hard jolt here. If the team had resumed play and given the fans a run for their money the incident would have been forgotten, but to stop the play in the middle of the game, when it was just getting interesting disguated the fans and caused many to stay away from the following games. We never heard of San Pedro being reprimanded for its action by the league head, yet Wilmington is kicked out for a lesser offence. It would seem that the Triple-A is under very poor management.

Misc Sweet, after an absence but the brain was dwarfed and slow. Back when he first jumped into fame by his defeat of Carpentier he got a taste of high life under the bright lights, and his brain power is not strong enough to resist the temptation. Siki as a champion is done for; he will never overcome the lure of the bright lights and the buzz firewater makes in his weensened brain. The U.S. Lawn Tennis association have a measure under consideration whereby a player will lose his amateur standing by writing for paid publication. There are several of the stars picking up tidy little sums writing the game for newspapers and magazines. We cannot see how writing can have any bearing on actual tennis play. This amateur ruling junk is getting to be the bunk. If Bill Tilden or Vincent Richards can pick up a few dollars on the side telling the public their views of the game, it would appear their good fortune. Who can best inform the public. If not the stars of the game; and why should they be considered professional players? They are receiving pay for their writings, and not their tennis playing. "ANNA CHRISTIE" The story of the choice of Blanche Sweet for the title role of Thomas H. Ince's remarkable production of "Anna Christie," a First National release, which opens at the California tomorrow, is one of the most remarkable of screendom. Miss Sweet, after an absence from the screen of two years, due to illness, returned to play in "Quincy Adams Sawyer" and was so successful that she was given the lead in "In the Palace of the King." When announcement was made that Ince had purchased screen rights for Eugene O'Neill's successful stage play and was casting the part, a flood of telegrams began to four in at the Ince studios: "Blanche Sweet would make an ideal 'Anna Christie.'" D W. Griffith said, "There is only one screen actress of the day who could do that role and that is Blanche Sweet." Unknown to the many interested friends who were "pulling" for Miss Sweet, Mr. Ince already had entered into negotiations with her for the part, and when announcement of the signing of the contract with her followed on the heels of the story that production plans were well under way, another shower of congratulations came from dramatic critics and columnists, trade paper writers, screen celebrities and directors. Miss Sweet's work in this great role is declared to be on a par with that of Pauline Lord, who created the stage part with such distinction that her characterization was chosen as the finest single piece of work in 1922, when the drama was running to crowded houses on Broadway; later taking London by storm. She is supported by William Russell and George Marion, who created the original stage role of Chris, the father in the story. Closing tonight, is "The Acquitial" which is termed one of the best mystery plays of the season, and its showing in Anaheim has created no small amount of favorable criticism. SANTA ANA NOSES OUT LOCAL TEAM Santa Ana's crack basketball team defeated the Mother Colony crew 18 to 17 here last evening. The locals played exceptionally well and are pleased with the fact that they held the visitors to such a close score. The boys used good team work and played a consistent game. Wells played center; Bastian and Clapp, guards; Sweeney and Swarthout, forwards. Coach Fitzmorris did not use any subs, but left the boys to play the game they were capable of. The county league does not start until Jan. 18, the boys having their first game with Capilbrano on the home court. Joe Schwindest is basket ball manager and Dale Hensley, assistant manager. Coach Fitzmorris will start gym classes at track and baseball practice Monday. As usual he MAY TO REDS LOS ANGELES, Jan. 5.—Jakie May, considered as one of the best hurlers in the Pacific coast league and who topped coast pitchers in 1922, has been sold to the Cincinnati Reds. Details of the deal for May were not revealed by Ed Miller of the Vernon club, but it is understood the cash consideration involved was approximately $20,000. In addition to the cash, two players, W. L. Kimmick, a shortstop, and pitcher Fred Peck, were secured in the transaction, it was learned.
