OPEN BUENA PARK TRACT JAN. 27TH Great activity is taking place in recreate around Fullerton. Several sub-divisions have recently been opened up and have very successfully proceeded towards development. In one case the entire tract, one of considerable dimensions, was sold out in a week. In another instance the promoters announced that they had sold $160,000 the first day. Perhaps the largest and most important of these tracts is one just put on the market by Ralph P. Maskey, Bank of Italy bldg., Los Angeles, a well-known and successful promoter of projects of this kind. This is 187 acres adjacent to the town of Buena Park. It has been named "Homewood," and the promoter and his assistants have set out in an energetic way to make it justify its name. The soil here is ideal for gardening and gardens will be one of the main features of the tract. It is announced that wide streets of 69 and 89 feet will be planted with trees, such as flaming eucalyptus. The type of house aimed at are homes that will be suitable for retired merchants and people from the east that want to settle down in ideal surroundings. The slogan adopted for the tract is, "Between Oil and Oranges," the idea being conveyed that "Homewood" is situated near the wonderful Brea oil fields from whence it will derive much of its revenue, but that it will also have all the fragrance and beauty of the orange blossoms to make it delightful. The position of "Homewood" right in the center of the town of Buena Park, makes it convenient for schools, churches, stores of all kinds, S.P. railroad depot and bank. This town also has a weekly newspaper and printing establishment. There is ample water supply here and the promoters are able to promise water, gas, electricity and the telephones. The opening sale of the tract will take place on Sunday, Jan. YOUTHS DIG WAY OUT OF FEDERAL A thrilling escape in accordance with the best dime novel tradition was successfully engineered by four prisoners in the federal penitentiary at Atlanta, Ga., by digging under the walls of the prison, which are 50 feet high. The tunnel, barely large enough to admit a man, led from a prison tubercular tent to the outside. It is estimated several months were required for the excavation. The tent was occupied by Frank Haynes, of Knoxville, Tenn., counterfeiter, and Hiram Lepper, of Maryland, who figured in a sensational escape some time ago, only to be captured in Minneapolis and returned to Snish his 15 year sentence.

This town also has a weekly newspaper and printing establishment. There is ample water supply here and the promoters are able to promise water, gas, electricity and the telephones. The opening sale of the tract will take place on Sunday, Jan. 27. Prior to that, reservations may be made for lots. It is stated that if a resident is followed in the quickest line of lots, as evidenced by sales that have taken place in this district already, the prices of Homewood lots will probably go up the day after the sale. At present they are low, considering the prices that have been obtained here. This would seem to present a good chance for a big bargain. Three houses are already going up, although it is only a week ago since the tract was signed. One is going to be a beautiful stucco bungalow. The selling agents are the A.B.C Sales Co., who have already many successes to their credit, the latest being a large and highly successful subdivision at Inglewood. The two partners, Talt and Le Coque, are men of more than the average ability and are already popular in Buena Park and neighborhood, where they have brought their DOCTOR FINDS 'EXCUSE' FOR FAG SACRAMENTO, Jan. 14.—Once again the cigarette has received moderate approval by medical men. According to Dr. Fred F. Gundrum, vice-president of the state board of health, physicians frequently advise patients to indulge in tobacco after meals, despite the opposition of many women who list smoking as a vice. "Smoking is not prescribed because of the effect which nicotine has on the nerves, however," said Dr. Gundrum, but because a man who smokes after his meals gives his digestive organs a chance to function before he plunges into his work." families to live as permanent residents. It is a pleasant drive to Homewood from any section of the country. It will surely repay anyone who wants a bargain either from a residential standpoint or for re-sale to drive out Sunday. AUSTRIAN JUDGES POOR BUT HONEST VIENNA, Jan. 14.—Austrian judges are now paid less than the average American office boy and are living in deplorable misery as a result. The average monthly income of a judge—and many get much below the average—is about $10, out of which he has to buy his own robes and pay his traveling expenses. Thus there are innumerable cases of judges sitting on their benches in old and torn gowns—literally falling to pieces. Dr. Friedrich Engel, ex-president of the Commercial Court and Union of Judges, in a trenchant article deprecates the prevailing deplorable conditions among such an honorable profession among such many cases in which, with their wives and families, the judges suffer intense hunger. It is their greatest pride says Dr. Engel, that despite all their adversities, they have remained inaccessible to graft.

Such an increase is a striking fact in "crumbling Germany." In all large cities and in rural districts, especially, in agricultural regions, constructional work of a permanent nature is being pressed with energy. In the business centers of Berlin alone a score of handsome buildings are being erected. Railroads are being extended and improved, the streets repaired and pavements laid, and in the exclusive residential districts luxurious homes are springing up in nearly every street. In Unter den Linden, adjacent to the French embassy, where reports are being drawn up on Germany's ability to pay reparations, an imposing white structure is now being completed by a banking firm. There is plenty of work for maisons, carpenters, plasterers and bricklayers, and while these men are making their land materially more solid they and their families are suffering heavy hardships because of the economic and financial chaos now existing.
